"The king of the north ship is about to go to sea, recruiting the crew, the king of the north ship is about to go to sea and recruiting the crew."

On Ghost Island, outside the inn where Li Tai'an inquired about the news, a lean man was shouting.

Li Tai'an walked over with the yellow dog, although many people looked at the two of them along the way, but they didn't make a move, and Li Tai'an and the yellow dog generally did not encounter any obstacles.

"Unexpectedly, this inn would be a stronghold of the North Boat King, and it should have been seen that the greedy shopkeeper was not a good thing." Yellow Dog complained.

"It's a normal thing, in this chaotic place, if you want to run such an inn, how can it be that there is nothing behind it, and in Ghost Island, it is estimated that there are only a few ship kings who can make this kind of inn stable."

Li Tai'an said hello and walked in.

Similarly, the people who walked in the surrounding area, Li Tai'an found that most of them had brought their own weapons, and they had many wounds on their bodies, some of which were serious, and they had lost an eye or an arm.

The dangers above the sea have always been more than just wind, waves and seawater.

But on the contrary, this kind of person is more popular with solicitors.

After all, this is what they do, and if they really go with a group of novices, they will die faster.

"Next!" A familiar voice came, and Li Tai'an walked straight in with the yellow dog in the eyes of everyone.

"Unexpectedly, this kid dares to come here, he is really not afraid of Wu Tong at all."

"What are you afraid of, this is the territory of the North Boat King, if he really gets on the ship of the North Boat King, even if it is Wu Tong, he has to let go of this hatred, who doesn't know, the best ship on Ghost Island is the North Boat King's."

"But if he can't go up, it is estimated that Wu Tong will not be able to let him go, I heard that in the past few days, the king of the West Ship contacted by Wu Tong is planning to deal with this kid."

"Really?"

Ignoring the voice behind him, Li Tai'an lifted the curtain and saw the person sitting inside, who was the original shopkeeper.

"Yo, old acquaintance, I can't imagine it, after you left me, you really went to rob Wu Tong's field, and finally let you do it." The shopkeeper looked at Li Tai'an and Yellow Dog in front of him, and said in surprise.

"It seems that the shopkeeper didn't reveal this news to us just for money." Li Tai'an sat on the chair in front of him, he was used to this kind of greeting.

"Xu Shan, after all, he came from the founding of the country, and my ship king, although he has already left there, he still has some emotions, but for the sake of the situation on the ghost island, it is inconvenient for him to directly rescue people, so let me pay more attention, no, I still saved Xu Shan."

Regarding what the shopkeeper said, Li Tai'an naturally didn't believe it, would the king of the North Boat leave Xu Shan alive because of his past identity? It's impossible to think about it.

"We're going to sea, I heard that the North Boat King is recruiting crews, let's give it a try." Li Tai'an directly explained the purpose of his coming.

The shopkeeper pinched his beard: "According to the original reasoning, you people are our favorite people, because you can fight, and you do have the ability, but this time, I have to think about it, after all, a person who dares to rob the king of the east ship, it is difficult for me to guarantee that you will listen to the words of the king of the north ship."

And this kind of thing is extremely important for a whole ship of people, you know, such a big ship, if you want to drive, everyone works together and obeys orders is the most important.

At the same time, as far as I know, you people have never been to sea before, and you may have to learn the operation of going to sea again, which is not good news for us. ”

Li Tai'an didn't interrupt him, but let him finish, and finally said: "Shopkeeper, don't hide it, there must be conditions for us to get on the boat, let's talk about it." ”

The shopkeeper nodded: "Transparent, I just like to communicate with people like you." If you want to get on the boat, it's not impossible, but there is one condition, Xu Shan, who you saved, also want to get on the boat with us and go to sea with us. ”

Li Tai'an frowned: "This is a little difficult for me, I can guarantee our group, how can I guarantee his choice?" And you know that the King of the North Boat was not able to keep him at the beginning, and I am not sure of this. ”

"Then it's not something I should consider, this condition is what Captain Qian said, and I don't dare to disobey his order easily."

Hearing this, Li Tai'an pretended to think for a while, after all, the promise was too smooth, it would arouse suspicion, not to mention the king of the North Boat behind him, just this shopkeeper is not a simple role.

"I can only say that I tried my best, but whether I succeed or fail in the end depends on Xu Shan's own intentions."

The shopkeeper nodded, took out five cloth bags from under the table, and threw them directly to Li Tai'an: "This is half of your remuneration for going to sea this time, and the remaining half will be given to you according to the situation of going to sea, if Xu Shan agrees, he will go to sea in three days, just north of Ghost Island, and our ship is there." ”

Li Tai'an nodded, took the cloth bag, and prepared to turn around and leave.

"By the way, after getting on the boat, remember to call the captain, this is a unified title."

The shopkeeper's voice came from behind Li Tai'an.

"Captain? It's quite professional. The yellow dog complained again.

Immediately afterwards, Li Tai'an opened the cloth bag in his hand, and in the cloth bag, there were thirty taels of broken silver, and a wooden card, on which was written a red word "money".

King of the North Boat, Qian Hao!

Those who have this token can board the ship of the North Boat King on the same day.

Finding a place where there was no one, Li Tai'an and Yellow Dog entered the twin pots.

Tell Xu Shan everything that happened above, Xu Shan groaned: "Don't worry, you did the right thing, our side agreed too quickly, Qian Hao will suspect something, after all, I was beaten like that, and I didn't agree to go to sea." ”

"You mean, Qian Hao asked you to go to sea in the first place?"

Xu Shan nodded: "After I was arrested, he made two requests to me, the first was to join his camp and help him train a group of sailors, he wanted to develop his own force on this ghost island; The second is to accompany him to the sea again.

But in the end, I refused. ”

"Then when will we pass the news over, we always have to go to sea." Yellow Dog also asked.

"In two days, when the time comes, we'll just give him a reason so that he can't doubt it." Li Tai'an proposed.

Xu Shan nodded and agreed to Li Tai'an's proposal.

"But have you found a question, that is, why does this Qian Hao have to follow Xu Shan to the sea? Isn't his goal this time to explore an island? This kind of thing, even if there is no Xu Shan or not, it shouldn't be a big problem. The snake, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.

"I guess he still wants my ship, and he's been speculating that I should know where it is, so even though he sent someone after he let me out.

On this ghost island, Qian Hao wants to develop private soldiers, and the appeal of one ship is not enough, at least two ships must be used, so that the other ship kings have nothing to say. ”

"In that case, will you be in trouble when you get on the boat?"

"No, he needs me, and he shouldn't trouble me unless it's a last resort, after all, I'm dead, and the ship has lost news, and it's not a good situation for him, when the time comes, we'll just follow the original plan."

After a brief discussion, the group turned around and went back to rest, quietly waiting for the arrival of the time to go to sea in three days.

"How? Did they give a clear answer? Qian Hao asked as he carried a huge wine jug and looked at the shopkeeper below.

The shopkeeper shook his head: "We are very cautious, and he is also very cautious, and he has not given me a clear answer for the time being, but I estimate that in two days, at most two days, he will give me an answer, and will also give me a reason for saying the past." ”

Qian Hao nodded: "That's okay, I don't have to worry about you doing things, as long as this time, Xu Shan gets on my boat, I won't let him get off!" ”

The shopkeeper was also curious at this time: "Captain, you asked Xu Shan to get on the ship, it should be for his ship that has disappeared, right?" ”

Regarding the shopkeeper's question, Qian Hao did not hide it, nodded and admitted.

It can be seen that the shopkeeper is really Qian Hao's henchman.

"Aren't you the bag known as Ghost Island to inquire, as long as you have money, there is no news that you can't find, give me an analysis."

The shopkeeper smiled, "That's all from Ghost Island, but don't say it, I really have some thoughts about the disappearance of Xu Shanchuan."

We are close to the sea, so we know that there are many more dangers on this sea than on land, and there are more legends about it.

Except for the sea beasts that jumped out during this time, the earliest should be the legend of the ship-eating ghost.

At that time, I was standing next to the captain, and at first, like the captain, I didn't believe much in this legend, so I didn't know much about it, but it wasn't until I saw it with my own eyes that I was sure that this legend might be true.

There are more than 30 people on such a big ship, but in an instant, they disappear when they can't see it, it's really amazing. ”

Qian Hao took a deep breath: "Yes, this sea is indeed a magical place, full of crises, but also full of desire to explore, what happened that day, until now, I can't forget." ”

"When I came back, I learned a lot about this boat-eating ghost. About fifty years ago, it was discovered around Onijima that some ships had gone to sea, but none of them had returned.

Some are small fishing boats of fishermen, some are merchant ships sent by the founding of the country, and except for the five boats of our ghost island, ships of any force and place have disappeared.

It's just that the people on the ship will not disappear, after a while, those people will appear in a place unscathed, it may be an uninhabited island, it may be on the sea, the place where they appear is random, but it is certain that they will not be harmed.

Moreover, if they are the owners of the ship, they will have a slight sense of the ship, but I heard that the last boat found is all a bunch of debris, as if it has been chewed by some kind of giant beast.

The number of discoveries has increased, and the name of the ship-eating ghost has slowly spread. ”

The shopkeeper habitually pinched his beard, and he knew very well about the ghost of eating the ship, and he told it very clearly.

"So, after this incident, I deliberately paid attention to the situation around the ghost island, if it was really a ghost eating boat, more than thirty people on it should appear, but during this time, I didn't gain anything, but I found a small island."

Qian Hao stood up, his figure was very strong and burly, and there were more than a dozen terrifying scars on his exposed arms, adding a fierce aura to him.

"Whether it's a ship-eating ghost or not, Xu Shan's ship, I'm going to decide, and no one can stop me!"

The shopkeeper smiled and said again, "Captain, there must be news that will interest you. ”

"Oh? Tell me about it! ”

"Even if we don't look for this ship, Xu Shan will look for it, or rather, he cares more about the news of that ship than we do."

"Why?"

"On the ship, there is Xu Shan's only son! I went to Liguo to investigate Xu Shan, he was a very single-minded person, only married one wife, and his wife gave birth to a son for him, but when Xu Shan's son was two years old, he suddenly contracted a serious illness and died, so this son is the only relative of Xu Shan, and he can't give up. ”

"You kid, where did you get these news, you have a lot of skills."

"Also, that foreign population, I guess, is Li Tai'an, the celestial master of the Li family, who made a big fuss about Qingrui Kingdom some time ago! This time, the purpose of their going to sea was for the giant beast in the sea, and the captain knew that for the Li family's heavenly master, it was impossible for them to give up this giant beast. So my opinion is that we can follow Li Tai'an, and after he subdues the alien beast, the treasures that the alien beast has collected over the years will be ours. ”

"Li Family Heavenly Master? Are you sure about this news! ”

"I'm 90% sure!"

"Okay, then you look at the arrangement, the focus is still on the boat, as long as we have the ship, we will have the qualification to unify the ghost island. I've long been tired of being the five big ship kings of this shit, ghost island, there can only be one owner! ”
