The Salvation Squad's airship slowly landed in the harbor area under Flint's operation.

The foreman of the harbor was apparently well-informed, and directly instructed the workers to throw the cable down the catch of the airship and secure it on the ground—it was obviously not the first time they had received merchants on airships.

As soon as the rope ladder was erected, the king stepped on the feather falling technique and floated down.

The foreman begins with the first sentence: "The boat you drive?" ”

Wang: "No, the dwarves of our team drove it. ”

Foreman: "The technology is a bit stinky, and I didn't use the auxiliary engine to fight the crosswind, but fortunately the wind is not strong today, otherwise you would have crashed into the warehouse next to you." ”

As he spoke, the foreman pointed to the huge transit warehouse next to him.

Not all of the merchant ships had to be delivered to both ends of the Masunya River. Some goods are shipped to large transit ports such as Repulse City and then placed in warehouses waiting for the promissory note delivery date to arrive.

Therefore, there are a large number of large and sturdy warehouses in the port area of Repulse City, and some warehouses also have the magic of heat preservation and moisturization. As for the goods that are not afraid of moisture, they are stacked in the yard.

One look at the full yards and warehouses of dock workers coming in and out, and you know that the port area has an amazing cargo throughput.

The king looked around and said, "The book says ......."

"The book says!" The foreman interrupted Wang loudly, "Is the captain of the Salvation Team really a nerd?" I thought it was a rumor! ”

Wang was not affected at all, and then the words that had just been interrupted: "The book says that this kind of port usually has a strong dock gang, and the prototype is probably a mutual aid organization established by dock workers by nepotism such as family, and gradually developed into a gang that controls the dock.

"The River Gang, the Cao Gang, and the Salt Gang are probably formed gradually in this way."

The foreman looked at a thinner worker next to him: "Worf, you have read, what is he talking about?" ”

Wolf replied, "He speculated on the existence of our Pelicans." ”

The foreman looked at the king again.

And Wang Zai said in his mind: "There are pelicans on the crest of Repulse City, and you actually call them the Pelican Gang, it seems that you are very confident that you are the only gang in Repulse City." ”

Xiaobai interjected: "What is a pelican?" Is it tasty? ”

The king pointed to the flag hanging from the most imposing building on the pier, which had the emblem of Repulse City.

Xiaobai stared at the pelican for a few seconds, and asked suspiciously, "The duck with a tumor in the chin?" ”

Wang was about to answer, but the foreman coughed, obviously he was not particularly used to the performance of the salvation team to go off topic anytime and anywhere.

Wang: "Please speak." ”

Foreman: "None of you are particularly familiar with Repulse City, so it seems that this information is wrong. ”

Wang: "We have! The dwarf who just sailed is it! ”

The foreman turned to look at Flint, looked at it for a few seconds, and then turned to the workers and asked, "Does anyone know him?" ”

The crowd shook their heads.

Flint said disapprerovingly, "Of course no one knows me, and I don't even know how many years ago I came to Repulse City." You humans have a short lifespan, maybe your grandfather was a child when I lived in Repulse City.

"By the way, I don't know anything about the Pelicans, and I guess your gang wasn't formed when I lived here."

At this time, the worker who was moving the goods next to him suddenly fell, and the cargo box he was carrying fell to pieces on the ground, and the mechanical parts contained in it were scattered all over the ground.

The overseer immediately rushed over with a whip and roared as he waved it: "Bastard! The value of this box of goods, you can't afford to pay for a few days! ”

The king frowned, for he found that the overseer, who seemed to be whipping the worker who had made a mistake, had in fact been the first to be whipped on the worker's back, and the other whips had fallen to the ground.

Marika whispered, "This technique is a veteran. ”

Wang asked the foreman, "Is this also the norm?" ”

Foreman: "Of course, didn't the first whip hit, it hurts, it's enough to teach the wrong person a lesson." The rest is all played for the shippers and merchants. If all these whips are blown, this worker will not be able to work for more than a month, which is not a good thing for the dock.

"Of course, you still have to lose money, and the rules can't be broken. The Pelicans will pay the compensation in advance, and the next person who makes the mistake will be our loyal brother of the Pelican Gang. ”

The king let out an "oh" and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

The foreman looked puzzled: "What step?" ”

Wang: "This ...... Let me ask, foreman, do you think you are the same brother as the man who made the mistake? ”

The foreman was even more puzzled: "A brother is indeed a brother, but I am a person with status." ”

Wang: "I see, we haven't started yet, it's the last stage." I saw that the box was full of industrial products, and I thought it was the next stage. ”

Foreman: "What the hell are you talking about?" ”

Wang: "I'd like to explain to you, but in principle, our Mage Tower will not accelerate the development of the Native Plane. Besides, I don't have in-depth research in this area, and I only know the principle of legendary spells in this field. ”

The foreman gave up thinking, turned his head and asked Walker, the thin worker, "Do you understand?" ”

Walker spread his hands: "I really don't understand this time." However, Chief, didn't Grandma Hashir say that if the captain of the Salvation Squad is really as smart as the legend says, take them to her. ”

Elizabeth was alarmed: "Hashir, this is a woman's name!" ”

The foreman sighed, "It's a woman's name, but you don't have to think of her as a competitor, for she is seventy years old and has twenty children." ”

Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang: "We're also happy to have a good relationship with the local gang, please lead the way." Let's go meet this Grandma Halsey. ”

Foreman: "It's Hashir, don't be mistaken, the old lady has a short temper." ”

**

The Pelican Gang's headquarters is located in the largest warehouse in the docks.

The warehouse had an office on the second floor, which might have been the office of the officials who might have managed the docks, but now the words "Harbour Master" had been crossed out, and the flag of the Duchy of Frank was covered with a large crocodile skin, with only a little of the original flag visible in the corners.

The crocodile skin is painted with a pelican with a piranha hanging from its mouth, which should be the symbol of the Pelican Gang.

The foreman knocked on the door of the former harbourmaster's office, and a calm mezzo-soprano came from inside: "Come in." ”

Nini whispered, "Just listening to this voice, the person inside is not seventy years old. ”

"That means you still don't hear humans speak too much, elf." The mezzo-soprano responded, "There are many people in human beings who are young and old, or like me, who are even old women and can make a voice like a brothel bustard." ”

Then the foreman pushed the door open, and the king saw the owner of the voice.

An old lady sits behind the harbourmaster's desk, whose sign has been crossed out but not engraved with a new title.

The old lady's most striking feature was her protruding hooked nose, a nose that overshadowed all other impressions, and was the first thing that anyone who met her—and the only one who would remember.

Xiaobai: "The nose is fine? ”

As soon as Wang was about to give her a head to pay attention to her words and deeds, the old lady burst out laughing, as if she was very happy.

"Where did the cutie come from!" The old lady said, "Come and tell grandma, are you on an adventure with the salvation team?" ”

The foreman explained: "Grandma Hashir is very fond of little girls who can be her granddaughters, because she has no granddaughters, all grandchildren. ”

Xiao Bai frowned: "But I'm not a little girl, I've already experienced twenty-four complete season reincarnations, no, it's twenty-four and a half, a normal werewolf should be the mother of two children now." ”

Old Mrs. Hashir was stunned, she didn't know where to take out the candy, and it seemed that she was about to give it to Xiaobai: "Huh? Werewolf...... Is it so different from us humans? ”

Xiaobai: "I'm more special, I don't know why it's so small." But I've become a big wolf! ”

Wang: "I can attest to it, it's really big. ”

Old lady Hashir laughed: "It can be seen that you two have a good relationship." ”

Xiaobai: "After all, we ride each other a lot. ”

Hashir: "Oh? It turns out that His Excellency the captain likes this kind of model. ”

Wang: "You misunderstood. Come, Xiaobai, you demonstrate. ”

Xiaobai crawled on the king's back and rode on his neck.

Hashil laughed: "It's this ride!" ”

Wang: "I rode her as an animal, and she rode me like that." ”

Mrs. Hashir: "When my husband was still around, he liked to go out with his little grandson like this. Okay, let's get down to business. To introduce myself, I'm the current boss of the Pelicans, managing the docks throughout Repulse City. ”

Wang: "I am the ...... of the Salvation Squad"

"We know you, the peerless wise man, the end-of-the-war in Kosania, the savior of the Emperor of Monrovia, the bereavement of the nobles of Monrovia, the nemesis of the King of the Wasteland, the punisher of the Lich, and the thorn in the side of the Order...... Your title is really long, and you will have to add the Floating City Lord recently. Mrs. Hashir threw down a sticky note, and it seemed that the long list she had just read was the content of the note.

Wang: "You're right, it's all me. ”

Hashir: "I'm done introducing myself, then I'll open the skylight and say something." The Order you're fighting against seems to have been moving strangely in Repulse City lately. ”

Wang: "The cats in Repulse City are starting to disappear too?" ”

Hashir: "If only the cat was missing. But it's a pity. Kosania is very, very far away from here, and you may not feel it, after all, you are going down the river in a boat. But for us, Kosania is a distant country.

"Because of the remoteness, the tentacles of the Order don't reach that side much. The Order must still be busy infiltrating the nobility of Monrovia. ”

Wang: "Actually, Monrovia's positive energy isn't distorted much. ”

Hashel: "But it's different here. ”

Wang: "Cheap healing potions are starting to appear here?" ”

Hashir: "Not yet. But cheap hallucinogens are starting to appear here. ”

As he spoke, Hashir took out a bottle of orange-yellow potion from the table and placed it on the table: "And according to the results of our investigation, this is from the Order. This thing suddenly replaced traditional hallucinogens like moon candy and became a favorite among addicts. ”

Wang frowned: "Why does the Order sell such things?" ”

Hashir: "Probably raising money. By the way, it was rumored that the nobles, caught someone who believed in the ideas that had been passed down from Sissel, and they would flood it with it and destroy their will. Eventually, those people will become puppets who obey the aristocracy's word and will do anything to get it. ”

Wang: "Wait a minute! What is the idea coming from the Sissel Republic, can you tell me about it? ”

Hashir glanced at the foreman who had led the king and them over, and the foreman spoke roughly.

Wang: "Understood, by the way, is this Sissel Republic particularly industrially developed?" ”

Hashir: "Yes, industry, textiles. ”

Wang: "What does the loom look like for them?" ”

Hashir: "It just so happens that the former emperor of Kosania imported a lot of them, all of them passed from us, do we have any left?" ”

The foreman nodded: "Yes, I can bring it now." ”

Hashir: "Go get it." Does this have anything to do with this new hallucinogen? ”

Wang: "No. But this is the best opportunity to understand the technical level of this plane, and it cannot be missed. ”

Hashir frowned, "Aren't you the salvation team?" ”

"yes, but ......"

At this time, the foreman led two workers and moved in a textile machine.

Wang looked at it and nodded: "It seems that my judgment is correct, the industrial revolution is still early, and now is the era of the handicraft guilds." Okay, okay, let's talk about this hallucinogen. ”
