Chapter 428: A Piece of Firewood Blocking the Way
Leaving the dock administration, Lukka sighed quietly, "No matter where you are, silver coins are always effective. ”
"Hurry up, hurry up, let's go get water in line!" Finch chased after Finch from behind, carrying an empty bucket in each hand and another with a rope tied to his head.
Lukka reached for his collar and dragged him behind him, saying as he walked forward, "We're just here to replenish food and water, not to join in the fun." ”
"Water, yes, I'm going to fetch water. Finch said.
Nora walked over and crouched down in front of him and explained, "The captain is talking about ordinary water, not the spring here. ”
Ordinary sailing supplies can be traded at the docks, and there is no need to enter the noisy town center.
"Ahh Finch said disappointedly.
Lukka stopped suddenly: "How much do you say you can sell?!"
"What's wrong with two silver coins?" Finch asked.
"No, Captain Fortune is going to let us carry the buckets. Phil said before Luka.
"Who said that? I'm going to go to the person in charge of the spring first and ask about the price, I won't be in such a hurry to move the barrels. Luca said.
Finch was stunned for a moment: "The price? What is the price? The spring water here is free." ”
"Isn't that a good book?" asked Ollie, surprised.
"Oh, I see, you want to transport spring water to another island and sell it. Then Finch suddenly realized, "Then you will die of this heart, if the spring water here is taken away for your own use, then not a single silver coin will be collected." But if you want to sell it, I'm sorry, the exclusive sales right has been obtained by the Undercurrent Chamber of Commerce, and no one else can get their hands on it. ”
"It's the Undercurrent Chamber of Commerce again!" Luca was a little helpless, "Forget it, we're not here to do business anyway, and no one on this ship knows how to keep accounts." ”
In fact, he was able to figure it out so easily, mainly because after a conversation with Yat, Luka had already regarded the black market business as his own income, and anyway, the profits of the Undercurrent Chamber of Commerce eventually did not flow to outsiders.
"That's right, according to what I said, let's get a few large buckets of water, and go back to drink and take a bath by ourselves, we must be refreshed!" Finch knocked the buckets in his left and right hands against each other, making a clicking sound.
Suddenly, a lazy voice rang out from the right side of the street: "Are you here to fetch water? ”
Lukka turned his head to find the man who spoke lying on a bench on the side of the street, covering his face with a large three-cornered hat, as if to block out the harsh sun while basking in the sun. Like many sailors who have nothing to do when their ships are moored, this guy has an empty wine bottle next to him, and the whole person is drunk.
"Alas, it turned out to be a drunkard, leave him alone. Lukka said and walked on.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the drunkard's body bounced sideways from the bench, and he couldn't see what he did, and the next second he was standing on the road in front of Luka, still covering his face with that tricorne.
"What do you want to do?" Lukka took a step back, holding the Amethyst Staff in his right hand.
"Didn't I just say that? Remind you, it's not so easy to get spring water now, it's not like it used to be. The accent was different from what Luca had heard before, and there was a noticeable upswing in the tail, which sounded quite interesting.
"What's the matter with you?" Lukka raised his staff to his chest.
"Don't be so hostile, okay? I'm just helping people who want spring water to find some way and make a little bit of money in between. The other party said with his head down.
"You're so insincere in soliciting business, aren't you?" Ollie also walked over with a giant sword, "Since you want to make money, you don't even want to show your face, it looks like a roadblock robbery." ”
"You're too good at joking, I'm bare-handed, and you're fully armed, so it's not like I'm blocking the road. The other party smiled, "It's indeed rude for me not to introduce myself first, but please understand, I don't like it much to attract business like this." ”
After speaking, he took off his tricorne hat and nodded slightly: "My name is Dolan and I am from the island of Severn. ”
The skin on the back of the tricorn hat was slightly blue, but it did not become emerald green like the skin of the goblins, and it was not too different from humans in the sunlight. However, if you look closely, you will find that there are some curved lines faintly revealed on his skin, unlike human wrinkles, this kind of lines do not increase his sense of age, more like some kind of decoration, even if the guy has this kind of lines on his hands and face, but at a glance, you can judge that this is still a young man.
The fine lines are not dense on his face, but are more pronounced on the hands, especially on the fingers, and more like wood grains on tree branches.
When he saw that face, Lukka couldn't help but look back at Nora, after coming to the boiling sea, the appearance of the fire elf was no longer so eye-catching, and there was no need to hide himself in his hood for a long time like in the Sunset Islands.
"Yo, it's an elf, she looks like Nora. Phil blurted out.
"I'm a fire elf, he's a wood elf!" Nora said.
"Wood Elf, will you bloom then, I'll see if you bloom!" Phil came to his senses again, walked over and grabbed his sleeve to look left and right, and even pulled out a spatula to scrape a little from the texture of the wood on the tip of his finger.
Now, it was Dolan's turn to be dumbfounded, in his cognition, no creature would be so familiar, even the most inquisitive dwarf would only do it to someone after asking beforehand.
"You're more restrained. Ollie grabbed Phil by the collar and pulled him back.
"You're looking for the wrong person, we have no interest in the spring, so we'll leave after a replenishment. Luca said.
"Really? This spring is appearing less and less, and if you miss it today, you may not have a chance in the future. When Dolan said the last sentence, his accent was very strong.
"Don't, don't, don't get in the way. Lukka said, going around him.
"Wait!" Nora suddenly turned and stared at Dolan and said, "Why is your accent like that?"
"Accent?" Lukka also stopped.
"Yes, he said he was from the island of Severn, which is the territory of the Wood Elves, and there is no problem with that. But his accent is obviously from Burning Kirishima, the territory of the fire elves, and my hometown. Nora explained.
