Chapter Seventy-One: There's No Chart You Want Here
"Nautical charts?" the thin old man was stunned for a moment, and then blew his beard and glared at the young man. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
His expression was visibly displeased.
"How could I have such a thing here, I said you're just here to make trouble, right?" he raised his voice.
He even jumped out of his chair, and there was a tendency to drive people away.
It seems that his temper is not very good.
"No? That's nerve-wracking, sorry to bother. Lin Ye smiled apologetically, turned around and prepared to leave.
But when he turned around, his gaze rested on an ancient book in the corner.
The title of that book was "The Knight's Travels", which reminded Lin Ye of "Don Quixote".
But it wasn't the book itself that mattered to him, it was the paper.
"Wait a minute, you asked about the nautical chart to the Miracle Continent, are you from that place?" the little old man asked with some confusion.
As he came down from the workbench, Lin Ye saw that this old man was not as old as he imagined.
His short stature and scruffy attire, combined with his unkempt beard, resembled like weeds.
His real age may not be even 30 years old.
"No, just curious to ask. Lin Ye smiled slightly, he walked straight to the corner, and casually picked up the book and flipped through it.
His answer made the little old man a little disappointed.
"Yes, but it's right to think about it, if you're from over there, how can you ask such a question about nautical charts? I've heard that there's a lot of stuff there, and I've always wanted to go there, but I can't put this bookstore that my grandfather left me, alas. He sighed.
After Lin Ye opened the page of the book, he was originally just speculating, and he was sure that he had seven or eight points in his heart.
"I'm very interested in this travelogue, how did it sell?" asked the duke.
He had 30 silver coins in his pocket, just enough to buy the book.
"Is this a travelogue? It looks like my grandfather left it, how did I throw it here? 30 silver coins if you want it. The little old man stretched out his finger and gestured to 3.
Lin Ye raised his head and looked at him in surprise, could it be that this little old man was looking at his money bag and making an offer?
And in general, the book is too expensive, right?
You must know that under normal circumstances, 30 silver coins can buy 90 fresh fish.
The price is ridiculously high.
Lin Ye hesitated for a moment, but decided to pay for the book, but at this time, the little old man smiled heartily.
"Hahahaha, I'm kidding you, it's good that a book can be sold for 2 silver coins, since you want it, sell you 1 silver coin, if you go to the Miracle Continent in the future, when you come back, remember to tell me about the latest research over there." ”
The little old man seemed to be very interested in research, and the price he had just offered to the duke in distress turned out to be just a joke.
"Deal. Lin Ye took out a silver coin and handed it to the little old man.
This silver coin is the same as the silver coins circulating in the Miracle Continent.
Presumably it circulated from the mainland.
After all, minting coins is not a simple process, and ordinary islands do not yet have the capacity to mint coins on a large scale.
This also made Lin Ye more and more convinced that there was indeed a ship bound for the Miracle Continent on the island.
I just don't know where the port will be.
He took the travelogue with him and prepared to leave.
"By the way, if you want to find a nautical chart, you can ask the old rudder, and the entire Undercurrent City belongs to him who knows the overseas routes best. The little old man reminded him.
Since he wasn't here to make trouble, but to make a deal, he certainly didn't mind giving the teenager some information.
After Lin Ye asked the old helm's address, he thanked him and left.
At this time, Charana and Fant happened to come to him.
"Link, you bought this book for a silver coin? Van took the book and flipped through it for a long time.
He was illiterate and didn't know exactly what was written in the book.
But the knight on the cover struck him as a little funny.
"The value of knowledge cannot be measured in money, as you will understand later, and I bought this book because it holds something that interests me. Lin Ye smiled and groaned.
Not to mention just 1 silver coin, even if it was 30 silver coins, he would buy the book.
"Link, you're about the same age as me, you always feel like you know a lot of things, and you're very mature, so powerful. Vant exclaimed.
This is also the reason why he is willing to associate with this young man of unknown origin.
This trait in him determines that he is different from those fishermen.
Maybe he can really take him out of this place and see the wider world.
Lin Ye smiled awkwardly, he naturally couldn't tell Fante that his real age was not only in his 20s, but his mental age was not inferior to that of an uncle in his thirties and forties.
And after thousands of years of accumulation of intrigue and intrigue, modern people have interpreted the four words of intrigue to the extreme.
Accustomed to the fast-paced city life, it suddenly appeared in the feudal era.
Lin Ye's thinking is naturally one step faster than others.
"Before you grow old, you will become a little old man sooner or later. Charana muttered quietly.
She carried a lot of candy in her arms, which she was going to bring back to the children of Starfire Village.
"Link, did you buy the nautical charts you wanted?" asked Fant.
He didn't have the concept of a map in his mind, and he didn't quite understand why Lin Ye had to look for drawings instead of going directly to the ship.
"Not yet, but the innkeeper told me the address of an old sailor nicknamed the Helm, and that he might be able to find a clue from him, and that his address was about two streets from here, so I will go and inquire about it. ”
In Lin Ye's opinion, only when he has a complete nautical chart can he clearly know the path, islands along the way, and ocean currents.
This makes him feel more secure, and the information is very useful to him.
Once he has successfully returned to Blackfire Castle and rebuilt the port, he will definitely need to pry open the markets in other regions.
Overseas markets were too fragmented and limited, and he needed to do business by sea into the inner parts of the empire.
Moreover, the islands within 200 kilometers of the Far East can be used as industrial bases for the development of various industries.
Without a map, it would have been too time-consuming to blindly develop like that.
"I see, let's go now. "Fante is very concerned about going to sea.
After all, he desperately wants to change his current life, and leaving here is obviously the only way out.
Now that the opportunity has arisen, he will never miss it.
"Well, let's go. Lin Ye nodded, and followed the address said by the little old man to the next block.
But at this moment, there was a noise ahead.
"What's going on up ahead? There's an argument? Huh? That's ...... Dwarves?"
