Chapter 160: Paradise Island

Chen Dong and the others drove the boat forward, and slowly a large island came into view.

Different from the Baofu I saw before, the island where they are located, the shore is full of birds and flowers, and the people have a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere.

On the shore here, there are not only military armor, soldiers, but also many large merchant ships docking. It looks like a bustling commercial dock.

When Chen Dong and a few people landed, soldiers in uniform immediately stepped forward. In the dialect of the mainland, he said, "Your ship, at least ten taels of gold." ”

Chen Dong was stunned for a moment, Baofu just now regarded money as dung, and only received a small piece of gold, only about two taels of gold, at his repeated requests. And here, just arrived at the dock with the face of a profiteer. And he was wearing a uniform, which looked like a soldier here.

Chen Dong and the magician Snoge glanced at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

Seeing Chen Dong and the others looking curious, the soldiers thought that Chen Dong and the others did not understand their words, so they gritted their teeth and said it seriously.

Chen Dong also saw that the other party didn't look like he was pretending, and stepped forward and asked, "Is ten taels of gold a little more?" ”

The soldiers were also relieved to see that Chen Dong could understand his words. If you don't understand it, it's going to be troublesome.

The soldier explained, "It's just ten taels, you're too expensive, and the big ships on the side start with a hundred taels of gold, and you don't feel like you're bargaining." If you feel that the charge is unreasonable. You can just leave the dock now. ”

Speaking of this, the soldier sneered, "You outsiders, you haven't felt the excitement of local night sailing. It's just the right time to feel it. ”

After saying that, hehe smiled evilly.

Chen Dong didn't know why, but when he saw that the big ship on the side really delivered a few hundred taels of gold, Chen Dong still paid the gold truthfully.

After Chen Dong paid the money, the soldier reached out and tore off a piece of paper and said, "At this time, when you leave, someone will check it." Remember to keep it. ”

Chen Dong put away the voucher and asked, "There can be an inn and a post house here." ”

The soldier, waving into the distance, shouted, "Little bean sprouts, show the way for the newcomers." Rest assured, these people are rich at a glance. Your benefits are indispensable. ”

When Chen Dong heard this, he knew that the guide he was looking for by the soldiers would definitely not be able to work in vain, and he would definitely be charged. I just don't know how to charge.

At this time, a little beggar of eleven or twelve came running and first nodded to the soldiers and greeted him.

Then he introduced himself to Chen Dong and said, "This uncle, I am a little bean sprout, and I am very familiar with all the terrain of Paradise Island, if you have anything to run, just let me come, just reward the small ones with three melons and two dates." ”

Chen Dong looked at him, although he was wearing tattered clothes, his face was clean and tidy, and he generally gave people a very comfortable feeling. Then Chen Dong asked, "Is there an inn near here?" ”

"Of course there is." This uncle, you take the valuables from the ship, and the ship stays here, although the dock here has a lot of docking costs. But it's really safe and worry-free. ”

Chen Dong nodded, beckoned Sinuoge to come down, Chen Dong saw that the soldier who had just charged had already walked to others, and asked the little bean sprout, "This soldier, why is he still doing the business of charging fees." ”

Little Bean Sprouts smiled and said, "This uncle, you are not a local, so you don't know anything." Thousands of years ago, there was a great change in the local area, and it was attacked by a large number of sea beasts in the deep sea. At that time, thanks to the help of the local city lord Qiandao, he turned the tide. Lead your own soldiers to defeat the sea beasts. ”

"From that time on, the local soldiers were responsible for maintaining law and order, collecting fees, etc. Although the price is indeed not cheap. But this paradise island is indeed well managed. There was no mistake. ”

Chen Dong nodded, and then asked, "Have you ever heard of Queen Eliza?" ”

When Xiao Bean Sprouts heard Chen Dong's words, they actually frowned and said, "Queen Eliza? She had already died in the wave of sea beasts thousands of years ago. Where did you get this information, you are too far behind. ”

Chen Dong couldn't help frowning when he heard Xiao Dou Sprouts' words, Bao Fu told himself that they were ruled by Queen Eliza, and when they came here, Xiao Dou Sprouts actually said that Queen Eliza had died a long time ago.

The folk customs here are not the same as those of Baofu, everything here is based on money, and Baofu is indeed bartering. There is no money exchanged.

Snoag also heard the clues. looked at Chen Dong with some incredulity.

The black skin does not move the Yayan of the Xuantian Continent, so now look at this, look at that, a little overwhelmed.

Chen Dong felt that he should be listening to this little bean sprout, so he said, "Why is this called Paradise Island?" Also, go out here, behind those two stone statues. Heading north, what a place. ”

Little Bean Sprouts said, "This stone statue, where to go, I don't know what kind of place it is." I haven't even been out of this paradise island. ”

"But if you ask why this place is called Paradise Island, I know that, not only I know, but all the aborigines here know."

"In the past, this was a palace left by the emperor of heaven in the mortal world. From here, the glowing palace is where the gods once lived. It's just that later, these fairy lords have left, leaving only the island and the palace. ”

"Queen Eliza, you just mentioned, they were the former inhabitants of this island, but they were attacked by sea beasts. It is now Paradise Island, the owner of the island, Lord Thousand Islands, who led people to drive away the sea beasts. People are settled again. ”

Chen Dong nodded, this is very different from what Bao Fu said. But the gods on the outside are the same.

Chen Dong asked, "The statue outside, who left it, it looks really mighty and domineering." ”

Xiao Dou Sprouts heard Chen Dong talk about the statue and said proudly, "That's the symbol of our paradise island." Don't think it's just a simple stone statue. For thousands of years, Paradise Island has been guarded by these two stone statues to settle down. ”

Chen Dong was puzzled, "That stone statue doesn't see anything special, how can you protect here?" ”

Little Bean Sprouts smiled and said mysteriously, "This was originally the secret of Paradise Island." But now it's no secret that there are more and more outsiders. I'll tell you you're all right. ”

Then the little bean sprouts cleared his throat and said, "There are many islands on the periphery of this paradise island. However, because of the attack of sea beasts that year, there were too many casualties, and this place became purgatory. ”

"Every night comes, there are evil spirits attacking nearby ships, which is why the prices are so high when boats are parked here."

"But we are safe here, and according to legend, the two stone statues outside are the gods of the heavenly gates. So they guard the paradise island, so that those evil spirits dare not come and harass here. ”

Chen Dong nodded
