Chapter 15: Shipwreck Bay
The bartender trembled and climbed back into his seat, with a few pieces of ice on his head that had been added to the wine before, and he was swaying all over his body for a while, and he didn't know whether he was scared or frozen, and the wound on his head was still bleeding, but he didn't even dare to wipe it.
Chen Mu kindly poured him a glass of wine, and then ordered simply and directly: "Go on." ”
The bartender's heart was very broken, but he had no choice but to obediently introduced: "Shipwreck Bay is an island, surrounded by islands, and the middle is a concave piece of the sea, which used to be a famous sea cemetery, and many people will choose to throw ashes in the inland sea in the center of the roundabout, and there are pirates, adventurers, and their elves, so that the sea burial is realized, and there is a place to pay homage to be fixed in the future."
However, at the beginning of this year, I heard that a mysterious large chamber of commerce had taken a fancy to this place, and was ready to fill in the inland sea in the center of the roundabout to make it a real large island, and Shipwreck Bay has become particularly lively in recent months, and they all said that if Shipwreck Bay is really expanded, it will become the second maritime trade center after the Orange Islands. ”
After listening thoughtfully, Chen Mu then asked, "Who do you mean by 'they'?" ”
The bartender stumbled and said, "That's it...... A lot of people, chambers of commerce, trainers, outsiders, many, many people say this. ”
Qi Xuanyu nodded in support of the bartender's point of view, and said: "I have also heard of this statement, the York Chamber of Commerce came to lay out in advance because of the business opportunities here, and they are going to wait for the island to expand and open a new store here, and I heard that they also plan to move the largest transit branch on the Sea of Origin to this island." ”
It turned out that the ship that carried them over was still shouldering such a mission, and Chen Mu had just learned about it.
When Junichi Shimada heard this, he asked, "Why?" There are a lot of islands in the Sea of Origin, right? Why is the island so attractive after its expansion? ”
This time, there was no need for the bartender to answer, and Qi Xuanyu directly explained to the two landlubbers from the inland.
"Because of the location, continuing southeast from here is the Citrus Strait that connects the Sea of Origin and the Sea of Vortex!
Think of the prosperity of the Orange Islands, with the Citrus Strait as the central axis, it is almost symmetrical to the Orange Islands, so once the expansion of Shipwreck Bay is completed, it has every hope that it will become the next maritime trade center like the Orange Islands! ”
The status of the Citrus Strait in this world is close to the Suez Canal or the Strait of Malacca, which Chen Mu was familiar with in his previous life, and it is also a sea communication artery connecting the two oceans.
Although the Sea of Origin, which now has a great shipping route, is temporarily the most prosperous of the five oceans, there is no shortage of merchant ships in the Whirlpool Sea.
From the Vortex Sea, you can go to the Parthia continent, and to the north of the Vortex Sea is the world's largest land alliance: the Quartz Alliance!
Among the Four Emperors, the Night Monarch is a sea pirate who is mainly active in the whirlpool sea.
As for the last of the Four Emperors, the Ice Queen, she is not very involved in the battle for maritime trade routes, she is mainly active in the polar sea in the northernmost part of the planet, and is used to being accompanied by ice and snow and harsh winters.
Among the five oceans, the three oceans have four emperors who are stationed, namely the Sword Emperor of the Origin Sea, the Night Monarch of the Vortex Sea, and the Polar Ice Queen of the Polar Sea, leaving one of the most discredited Lord of the Turbidity wandering around and dwelling in no fixed place.
As for the other two oceans, the Azure Sea in the eastern part of the Phantom Continent and the Antarctic Sea at the southernmost point of the planet, they were relatively deserted in this era.
After listening to Qi Xuanyu's introduction, Chen Mu and Junichi Shimada finally had a relatively clear understanding of the future potential of Shipwreck Bay.
Junichi Shimada touched the stubble on his chin, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a somewhat dangerous smile, "So there are many ways to make money here now?" Are there any more business opportunities in the future? ”
The wonderful frog flower on the side echoed: "Wonderful wow~"
After having a hunch that the food would be improved in the future, even the wilted frog flower couldn't help but become energetic.
And Chen Mu was concerned: "Then it shouldn't be difficult to find a fleet to go to Patia here, right?" ”
In his heart, he still hasn't given up on the humble dream of going to the New World to dig some stones for retirement.
It's just that Qi Xuanyu glanced at him, "It's not difficult to find, but do you have enough money?" ”
Chen Mu was suddenly a little silent.
In fact, he still had some savings when he first went to sea, but it was a pity that most of the hard currency such as gold bars exchanged had sunk into the sea during the previous escape, otherwise he would not have needed to rub Qixuanyu's food when he was on Onyx Island.
Chen Mu, who was stabbed by Qi Xuanyu, turned his head to look at the bartender, and this glance frightened the other party and screamed on the spot.
"I, I, I really don't have any money anymore! It's all for you, it's all for you! It's true! ”
Seeing the bartender acting like this, losing blood to the point that his face was pale and he didn't dare to cover his wounds, Chen Mu felt that the credibility of his words was still quite high.
So Qi Xuanyu directly helped Chen Mu make a summary.
"In short, whatever we want to do next, we have to make money first, and don't expect me to pay for every meal in the future!"
I always feel that the last half of the sentence is what she really wants to say......
Junichi Shimada also added: "With our current status, it's best to get another ship, there is still a long way to go from here to Partia, if you really want to go there, you can't count on other people's ships all the way, right?" There will always be a day when your identity will be revealed, and then it will only lead to more trouble. ”
Although I feel that this guy's motive for saying this is very impure! But Chen Mu must admit that what Junichi Shimada said has some truth.
Previously, it was only a week's voyage from the Onyx Islands to Shipwreck Bay, and it was not difficult to pretend to be successful in deceiving the past, but if he really wanted to go to Patia next, it would be at least a month or even a few months of sailing, and it was really difficult to expect to be able to deceive him for so long.
Even if Chen Mu is confident that he is very strong, there are too many variables on the sea, and the risk is so great that he doesn't dare to gamble casually.
Having your own boat is undoubtedly the best option.
Thinking of this, Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: But isn't this more and more like a real pirate group?!
"Hey, I actually want to be a good person."
He whispered to himself and threw his head back to take a sip of his sullen wine.
As a result, as soon as he put down the wine glass, he saw that the bartender and Qixuanyu were looking at him with an expression of "are you telling a bad joke", and only Jun Shimada on the side echoed with a smile and a smile.
"Ah, what a coincidence, me too~"
You're a ghost!
