Chapter 130: Monster Hunting Conference
At noon, Lu Jing and his entourage braved the drizzle to land on Qianhe Island.
Since the transformation of the space storage box had not yet been completed, Lu Jing did not plan to let Fu Ju forcibly use his extraordinary ability to take the space storage box away from the Tideflow, but used it as a storage box to temporarily put it in the corner of the captain's room, and as for the main weapons and equipment such as Purple Thorn, he carried it with him.
At this time, the port of Qianhe Island can be said to be lively and tight, although it is not as grand as the harvest festival of Anling Island, but the situation at the port is still eye-catching.
Aside from anything else, the crowded docks are full of groups of demon hunters, "Taoist priests" carrying peachwood swords, two pistols at their waists, and arm armor looming in their wide sleeved robes.
"At first glance, you can tell that they are all masters......
Lu Jing led the crew to shuttle through the crowd that was comparable to the cosplay exhibition hall, and the originally somewhat special Cangyue robe suddenly became a normal costume in those bells and whistles of the Taoist robe monk's robe, and no one even looked at them!
"What are so many bounty hunters doing here, could it be a high-paying mission?"
Xu Chu looked around and asked in surprise.
It's that a bunch of fake monster hunters get together to have a monster hunting convention, but if those bounty hunters don't have any points in their hearts, then there's only one possibility, and it's profitable to do so.
"Look over there, where the most people are. ”
While walking outside the dock, Fu Ju seemed to have discovered something, pointing to a crowded place not far ahead, with a flag planted in the middle: the registration office of the Demon Hunting Conference.
"There are still officials present to register, this demon hunting conference is held by the government here on Qianhe Island?"
As he spoke, Lu Jing's footsteps still walked towards that place, and he felt more and more strange in his heart, but at the same time, he also found a young man who looked more kind nearby and wanted to inquire about the situation, in order to integrate into them, he said decisively,
"Taiyi Zhenren in Jinguang Cave, Xia Qianyuan Mountain, didn't ask for advice?"
"Uh-huh...... Jinhe Island, that, catkins cave...... Tang pawn real person. ”
Suddenly accosted, the young man wearing a Taoist robe was also a little embarrassed for a while, and he wrinkled his brows and recalled for a while before remembering his title.
"Sweet and sour real people?"
Fu Ju puffed out his cheeks and turned his head over, his shoulders shaking.
"Ahem, this real person, I want to know what you're doing here?"
Lu Jing kicked Fu Ju's foot, still smiling on his face and asked.
"Of course it's a monster hunting conference, aren't you here for this, all the monster hunters have to line up here to register, and when it comes to the evening, they have to meet with the government of Qianhe Island to discuss the monster hunting plan with them, have you signed up?"
The young man seemed to have come alone, and there were no companions next to him, but now he met Lu Jing and his party, who were also "newcomers", and they were quite enthusiastic in their words and deeds.
"Not yet, just got off the ship...... We came here after hearing from a friend that there was a big job here, but we don't know what the government here wants to do. ”
Lu Jing continued to probe the other party's tone, wanting to know more.
"Friend, don't be really unreal, how awkward, we all know what our identities are, to be honest, I don't know what this demon hunting conference is going to do, but the government here on Qianhe Island said that as long as you participate, you can get 3 silver dollars, which is not a low price, so I and a few of my friends plan to come over and have a good time. ”
seemed to notice Lu Jing's gaze beside him, Tang Zu Zhenren explained the situation here, but also showed that he was not alone, and then looked up and down at the Taiyi Zhenren in front of him, who was about the same age as himself, and then said,
"If you want to sign up, you have to sign up as soon as possible, in case they think there are enough people to close the deadline, you will run in vain this trip, and I have to remind you, I can't do it here, my body, friend, since you claim to be a real person, you have to have matching equipment, do you need me to introduce you to a better shop?"
"No, I still have some things to do, so your Excellency will be busy first. ”
Seeing that things were going to develop in terms of selling products, Lu Jing decisively ended the topic.
"3 silver dollars per person, you can sign up, the government of Qianhe Island has a lot of money, and there is no place to spend it?"
Fu Ju, who was relieved from the title of sweet and sour real person, looked at the situation around the circle and pouted.
In terms of the number of people on the port side alone, it is definitely more than 100, and the registration fee alone will cost a few gold leaves, not to mention other expenses including bounties in the future.
"Gathering so many bounty hunters and promising high rewards, it seems that what the Qianhe Island government wants them to do is probably not simple. ”
Avoiding the crowd, Lu Jing finally looked back at the increasing number of demon hunters over there,
"I wanted to inquire if there were any real guys, but now that this situation is going to be asked one by one, let's not plan to leave the port today. ”
"Then let's go to the Tongtian Dojo first?"
Gorman looked at Lu Jing, waiting for his next decision.
"No, let's eat first, we ate fish and frozen meat in the refrigerator for three days on the boat, it's too greasy, I also want to ask the locals for some news, those foreign bounty hunters may not know what's going on here, and the people here must have heard some rumors. ”
A private room was opened in a restaurant near the port, and the group inquired about what they had just seen in the port while eating.
The restaurant is a place with many people, and it is undoubtedly one of the places with the most frequent news circulation, and it didn't take long for Lu Jing to learn some information from the mouth of the running hall.
"I heard, I just heard, about the 10th of this month...... That is, seven days ago, Lord Futai suddenly had a strange dream at night, saying that a fairy dreamed that a demon would be born on an uninhabited island near Qianhe Island, and it must be suppressed, otherwise the entire Qianhe Island will be restless in the next few days. ”
Even the running hall of the restaurant inevitably showed a little embarrassment on his face when he talked about this rumor, and it was obvious that he felt that this rumor was quite nonsense.
"You just said that Lord Futai, the official office of Mingde Mansion has moved to Qianhe Island?"
Lord Futai is the title of the governor of a prefecture, and Xu Chu has this question.
"Yes, I moved here the year before last, if he hadn't ordered it, how could I have found so many demon hunters, and we have to thank him, the business of the restaurant has been very good these days. ”
For the restaurant, it doesn't matter if he is evil or not, as long as he can make a lot of money, it is a good thing.
"Is there anything else to say besides this dream?"
"No, if you want to know, in the evening in Longqing Building, the government will hold a banquet to entertain those demon hunters, and the Lord of Futai will also have a dojo, you can go there to inquire, this is the news that one of my brothers told me, it's right to keep it, but you can't say that it's my leak. ”
Holding the silver dollar in his palm, he reminded him before leaving.
"The rumors from the mouth of the running hall just now sound ridiculous, I don't think the things in it are so simple, you must know that the main body of this rumor is the person with the highest status in Mingde Mansion, if there is an intention to smear, it is impossible to spread so easily in the market. ”
The private room was full of his own people, and Xu Chu immediately expressed his opinion.
"If this monster hunting conference does involve some kind of monster, then it is very likely that the Qianhe Island government wants to use these monster hunters as cannon fodder...... The Holy Blood Sect had done something similar before. ”
Gorman chimed in.
"After eating, let's go to the dojo on the island for a turn, or that sentence, solving the problem of resentment is the most important thing to come to Qianhe Island this time, if there is no mage in the dojo who can help, it is not too late for us to go back and join in the fun." ”
It was not Lu Jing's will to forcibly get involved in this kind of thing, but if the mages in the dojo were really unreliable, he could only try to find someone who could help among these demon hunters.
