Chapter 580: The News of the Prologue (Part I)
Seeing that another huge wave was coming, Chen Jing subconsciously grabbed the wooden pole on the edge of the boat with his hand, and the violent and bumpy ride did not match the "wonderful experience of going to sea" in Old John's mouth.
, scammed.
Chen Jing kept thinking of this sentence, flickering back and forth like a barrage of brainwashing, and the more he thought about it, the more distressed he was about the reward of that kilogram of filth, but ...... Just go back and get it back.
Before leaving, Hasad did not mention the settlement method of the remuneration, but just asked Chen Jing and them to act at the opportunity, after all, the people of this group of Dagon are famous for their love of extortion, and it is not surprising that they even opened their mouths and asked for some "relics" as compensation.
It turns out that Hasad is an empiricist.
What he said was not an exaggeration.
The owner of the fish stall named Old John was indeed a lion who opened his mouth and asked for a price that could buy his life.
"The filth in the world is equivalent to the gold that makes up the gold standard of the watch world, but its value should be heavier than gold, a kilogram of filth...... Converted into a table of world currency, it is between five million and eight million, and you can buy two or three decent relics in Eternal Night City. ”
Chen Jing calculated the value of this kilogram of filth in his heart.
Although he usually has no place to use money, and the old man's small treasury is enough for him to squander it wantonly, it is really uncomfortable to be ripped off.
So from the moment he took out 500 grams of filth as an advance payment, he looked at Old John's eyes and became a little wrong, if it wasn't for the only route to Imboga, he really wanted to slaughter this fish-man and then change the ship to Inboga.
"Sure enough, the old man didn't scare me...... In this sea, the power of the sequence will be greatly limited......" Chen Jing couldn't help but sigh again, because he had tried to use deep space jumps at the back of the deck before, but it was still a short distance of no more than one meter.
What is the result?
A deviation of two meters from one meter to the side appeared.
If you didn't listen to the old man's words and went directly to Imboga with a deep space jump, it was estimated that you would have to go to your grandmother's house......
"Fuck you! It's okay to open steadily! ”
Chen Bofu's scolding came from the cabin, accompanied by the unstoppable retching sound, which showed that the old man was really seasick.
"I'm already stable."
Old John was also in the cabin, and he was talking and smoking his pipe...... To be honest, Chen Jing felt that the two of them were quite a good match, because through the glass of the cabin, Chen Jing could no longer see the scenery inside, and the white was full of smoke.
Let these two live chimneys get together inside, but it can make Chen Jing a lot cleaner.
As long as it doesn't rain anymore.
"I'm the best captain of Bruner, and I'm notoriously fast and steady, if you think it's a bump...... Maybe you'd have vomited to death if you were on someone else's boat. ”
Just when Chen Bofu was about to scold, Chen Jing pushed open the heavy wooden door and walked into the cabin, quietly gave the old man a look, and motioned for him not to be angry with this fishman.
"To be honest, I admire you a lot."
Old John took a sip of his pipe in his mouth, picked up the flask beside him and took a sip, the strong smell of alcohol mixed with the choking fishy smell, like drinking a mouthful of mucus from a sea fish.
"One old and one young."
"Two old descendants of the second sequence dare to come to the sea of the old."
"Although the place of Inbogana is still relatively stable, there are also many old descendants who lick blood from the knife edge, and you will suffer old sins when you meet those old descendants who do not preach morality."
Hearing this, Chen Jing couldn't help but be curious, but his eyes exposed outside the mask were still silent, calmly looking at the old John at the helm.
"Imboga is different from Bruner? Are there a lot of out-of-towners there? ”
"That's right." Old John took another sip of wine, glanced back at Chen Jing, and then turned back and continued to look at the turbulent waves ahead, "Since a year ago, there have been many outsiders coming to Imboga, and they always go back and forth to the sea near Imboga, as if they are looking for some ancient ruins......
"Ancient ruins?" Chen Jing was stunned, and said in his heart that it shouldn't be so coincidental, the ancient ruins they were looking for couldn't be the one they were looking for......
"There's an ancient ruins of a fart there." Old John said coldly, "As the people of Dagon, we know this sea better than anyone else, and Imboga is just a small island with a more comfortable climate, and the sea around it is ...... Forget it, I'm telling you what I'm doing here. ”
As soon as the words fell, Old John suddenly said meaningfully.
"To be honest, with the strength of your grandfather and grandson, there will definitely be an accident when you go to Imboga, otherwise don't go......"
As soon as he came to the coast, Chen Jing used a certain power inherited from the Yellow King to suppress the aura of himself and the old man.
At least in the eyes of this group of natives, their disguised identity in Sequence 2 is simply seamless, and they want to see their bottom line, unless their strength is one level higher than them......
So old John always looked at them with a kind of fat sheep's eyes.
Even though Old John's face was the same as that of the other natives, it was tense and there was no other expression, but that feeling of bad intentions...... Chen Jing can still detect it.
"I told you that I had something to do when I went to Inboga, did you not understand or what?" Chen Bofu, who was lying on the wooden chair, scolded, and then couldn't help retching a few times, the symptoms of seasickness made his already not very good mood worse.
"You people in the interior just don't know how to be polite." Old John took a puff of his pipe, and said without looking back, "It's better to pay attention to the old sea, it's easy to offend people by talking like you." ”
Hearing this, Chen Bofu sneered and was about to get up from the chair, but in the end, he was persuaded by Chen Jing gently patting his shoulder.
"Those out-of-towners from Imboga have been there for a year?" Chen Jing diverted the topic and got up and walked towards Old John, "They have been looking for so long and still haven't been able to find that ancient ruin?" ”
"Didn't find it." "And I can tell you unequivocally," replied old John without hesitation, "that there are no ancient ruins in that place, and that they are only working in vain...... However, it is understandable that there are always people who have endless expectations for this sea, as if their dreams are sleeping under the sea, but in the end it is still empty. ”
Chen Jing had already walked to Old John's side at this moment, looking side by side at the gray sea in front of him.
Endless rain.
Choppy seas.
All this feels unlucky no matter how you look at it.
Especially after being away from land.
It is as if everything will disappear completely in this perennial gray fog.
"Don't think about my proposal?" Old John held his pipe in his mouth and looked at Chen Jing from the reflection of the glass, "Don't go to Imboga, listen to Old John, go back, I invite you to eat fish." ”
Chen Jing was sighing in his heart that the old man was right, this feeling of sitting on a small fishing boat and drifting with the tide was really uncomfortable.
Hearing Old John's sudden "suggestion", he also politely declined, and asked a rhetorical question with great interest.
"Actually, you didn't plan to take us to Imboga in the first place, did you?"
"How do you tell?" Old John asked curiously, slowly removing his hands from the steering wheel.
"I heard it."
Chen Jing raised his hand and pointed to his ear.
"Every word you say smacks of a lie."
