Chapter 134: The Homeland of the Vicissitudes of the Sea
The heavens didn't give her an answer, but hell seemed to respond, and the ice under her feet suddenly came with a strange sound of titicaca, getting louder and closer, and the speed was beyond imagination, but at the moment when she was ear-to-ear, it was already at the bottom of her feet.
The Nine Ghost Eagles hurriedly jumped to the side, and the ice surface on the soles of their feet also exploded at this time, and a giant "sword" the size of several people broke through the ice and plunged straight into the sky, and then there was a loud bang, and the crack on the ice surface expanded sharply, and a shadow followed the "sword" to the sky.
When the Nine Ghost Eagles completely avoided this series of mutations and finally had time to carefully examine the behemoth that appeared in the sky, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded again: "Sword ...... Swordfish and ...... Iron box?"
It turned out that the first "sword" was not a sword, but the nose of a "swordfish", if this fish-like creature could be called a swordfish.
The tail of the "Swordfish" is towing a mini version of the submarine, which can barely be regarded as an "iron box" from the outside.
After a creaking sound, a large hole was opened in the side of the "iron box", and a row of improvised stairs slowly protruded from it, and then two Westerners wrapped in overcoats descended the stairs to the ground.
The eyes of both sides collided with each other, and a silence was created, and one by one they froze in place with their mouths wide open, and they both felt that it was difficult to find any suitable words to express their shocked feelings at the moment.
"Nanban...... Is it?" The Nine Ghost Eagles, who had experienced eight years of inhuman life, were the first to regain consciousness, and in the depths of their memories, they searched for the blue-eyed eagle-nosed foreign merchant who had seen this kind of blue-eyed eagle-nosed in the port controlled by the family, silently took two steps back, clenched the dagger and asked vigilantly.
"See, Leo, there's a little girl barefoot! in the South Pole at a temperature of minus 10 degrees!" one of the Westerners came back to his senses, and instead of answering the Nine Ghost Eagles, he shook his companion's wrist vigorously and expressed his emotion.
"I saw Jeffrey......" The Westerner, Leo, spoke slowly and with a demented expression, as if he was still doubting the reality of what he was seeing.
Seeing that his question was directly ignored, the Nine Ghost Eagle suddenly pulled out his dagger, the tip of the knife pointing outward, making a posture that could be thrown into battle at any time.
"Oh, no, no, no, no, beautiful girl, Leo and I are not bad people, we won't hurt you, please trust us!" Jeffrey quickly explained to the Nine Ghost Eagles with a quick shake of his hands.
"Yes, please don't do that, we're just two treasure hunters!" Leo said, removing two spearguns from his waist and throwing them to the ground to show that he had no ill intentions.
Jeffrey dropped his weapon as well, and took a few more tentative steps, pointing to the "Swordfish" pulling their submarine: "We were looking for the South Pole Star at the bottom of the sea, but Lucky suddenly seemed to sense something and rushed upwards to bring us up!"
"I didn't see the baby, but I found you......" Leo added.
There was really no danger from these two simple Westerners, and the Nine Ghost Eagle finally put down the dagger, but there were still some questions: "Treasure Explorer......?"
"Oh!no! you don't know about the Treasure Hunters, you don't know about the Treasure Hunters?" Jeffrey's expression was exaggerated, even more shocked than when he first saw the Nine Ghost Eagles.
Taking a deep breath and calming down a little, he continued: "The gathering profession provides raw materials for the production profession, which can be roughly divided into four categories, the miner is responsible for providing metal materials, the woodcutter and the farmer are responsible for providing plant materials, the hunter and the fisherman are responsible for providing animal materials, and our treasure hunters provide all kinds of gemstone materials!"
"Setting these gemstones on weapons or armor can greatly enhance some of their properties. But unlike the common materials, gems are generally hidden in extremely dangerous places, such as the bottom of the sea, so we treasure seekers have always been the strongest, most agile, and most intelligent of all the gathering classes!
Jeffrey explained for a long time, but the Nine Ghost Eagles still seemed to understand.
"I think you must be fainting from the cold, why don't you sit in our submarine and drink a cup of warm hot water!" Leo politely invited the Nine Ghost Eagle Road.
It's good that he didn't mention it, but when he mentioned this, the nine ghost eagles were confused again: "Diving ...... What about a submarine?"
"Oh, no, you don't know about submarines, you don't know about submarines, are you primitive?" Jeffrey put his hand on his forehead, as if he was about to faint. Search the e-book
"Enough is enough, Jeffrey, this young lady needs to rest!" Leo interrupted Jeffrey's chatter dissatisfiedly, and just after a moment of silence, he couldn't help himself, "So, are you primitive?" ”
The two eyes of the Nine Ghost Eagles swirled back and forth on the faces of the two Westerners, not knowing how to answer.
"Uh...... Or to put it another way, "Where's your hometown?" "Yes, your hometown!" Jeffrey reminded "kindly."
"Wait...... "The things in front of him do not have their own inherent cognition, and the Nine Ghost Eagle has basically judged that it is the same as the world where he has been imprisoned for eight years, and this is another unknown land, so he just replied with the mentality of trying it out.
Unexpectedly, Jeffrey, who heard this, rolled his eyes, and quickly pulled Leo aside and whispered: "Did you hear Leo?
"Yes, I heard you, Jeffrey!" Leo nodded.
"If you look at her, she doesn't know the treasure finder or the submarine, which means that the civilization of the Wa people is still in the primitive era, and if we take those gems in our hands to the Wa for trade. No, if you don't use gems, even if you trade some daily necessities, you will become a rich man!" Jeffrey excited.
"There's no need to trade, if you can escort me back to the Wa Kingdom, I can give you a city!" The vigilant Nine Ghost Eagle could not allow others to have a small meeting under his nose, and from the beginning, he followed behind them in a few flashes, and after hearing what they were talking about, he was just as excited, and immediately offered a super high price for hiring the two.
The voice of the Nine Ghost Eagle suddenly sounded behind her, which really scared the two of them, although her face could not hide the joy, but seeing the dagger in her hand that had been re-unsheathed, the two of them still couldn't stop being frightened, and secretly said that it was fortunate that they didn't have any bad ideas, otherwise they would have become a ghost under her knife at this moment.
"Great! That's it!" Jeffrey still returned to reality one step earlier, representing the two of them to reach an agreement with the Nine Ghost Eagles.
After eight years, there was finally hope of returning home, and the excitement in the heart of the Nine Ghost Eagles was far greater than that of the two Westerners, even if they stayed on land for an extra second, it felt wasteful, and urged them to set sail quickly.
The submarine traveled all the way, chopping the waves, and the nine ghost eagles in the boat were even more surprised when they learned that the "swordfish" Lucky who pulled them forward actually belonged to a kind of demon called the Deep Sea Swordsman, and couldn't stop sighing that the world is so big that there are so many unknown magical things in Nanban.
And Jeffrey and Leo saw her look so rare and strange, and their hearts were also refreshed to a new height, if they knew that there was such an uncivilized pure land in the world, what kind of gem would they have found?
For a few months, even if it was really his own world that he had lived in for more than ten years, the Nine Ghost Eagle never thought that it could be so big, so big that he had been stuffed at the bottom of the sea and was hurrying at full speed, and he had almost forgotten what the land looked like.
The submarine slowly surfaced, the hatch at the top was pushed open from the inside, and three heads slowly poked out.
The gentle sea breeze is in the air, the turquoise sea is in the distance, and in the distance, a winding coastline.
"Toba Castle! It's Toba Castle, right?" Jeffrey confirmed to the Nine Ghost Hawks.
"Yes...... Nine Ghost Eagle stared into the distance, but no familiar feeling rose in his heart, he just nodded blankly.
"Are we there......" The submarine gradually approached, and the high-rise buildings that had been blurry gradually became clear. Looking at the men and women who were taller than their hometowns, wider roads, and more fashionable, Leo's words unconsciously became unreserved.
If the people here are still in a primitive society, then what are they?
In fact, it is not only the two Westerners who feel confused, but the Nine Ghost Eagle is the one who is the most overwhelmed. The Nanban people have sent themselves home as agreed, and then it is time for them to fulfill their promises, but this strange city where the word "Toba" can be seen everywhere is really the Toba City where his family took root?
It's only eight years since I left here, and eight years can really make a city change like this?
