Chapter 8: Reunion of Old Friends (Recommend!Collect!)

The so-called shipwreck island is naturally not an island formed by a shipwreck.

In fact, it is a small island in the middle of a group of reefs, and it is often called a shipwreck island because fishing boats often sink near it because they run aground.

Because of this, Lu Jing's ship can anchor in a safe area, and then put down the wooden boat on the side of the ship, and transport the people on board in batches.

Stepping on the tide and landing on the beach, Lu Jing's eyes were immediately attracted by the distant scene.

When Old Man Xu mentioned the shipwreck bazaar before, he only said that it was a trading place for "special people", and Lu Jing subconsciously regarded it as a dark and chaotic trading market, but all this in front of him subverted Lu Jing's imagination.

As far as the eye can see, large bonfires and high-powered gas lamps hanging high between tree branches illuminate most of the island, and the central area of Shipwreck Island is a bustling market.

With the footsteps forward, Lu Jing soon found that the shipwreck market seemed to be divided into two layers, and the ground area was arranged with various tents according to a certain law, the largest may be an entertainment venue, which was very lively, and in just a few minutes, Lu Jing saw many people coming in and out, either holding wine glasses in their hands, or holding scantily clad women, and the small ones were serious stalls, with a wooden shelf in front of the tent, and the goods were displayed in the middle.

The upper floor of the market is a platform of more than a dozen wooden houses built a few meters above the ground connected by a suspended wooden bridge, and the only way to go up is through the spiral staircase scattered around the thick tree trunks scattered throughout the platform, and among these wooden house platforms, Lu Jing is especially concerned about the two-story wooden house built in the center of three large trees in the center.

Unlike the other wooden houses in the surrounding area, which are only practical, the structure of this building is obviously more elaborate, with a black flag hanging on the outside, and the wooden house has a lot of people coming in and out compared to the surrounding area.

"It's only been two years, but I didn't expect this place to look like this...... No wonder, it turned out to be a Black Flag supply point. ”

Not only Lu Jing, but Old Man Xu also seemed to be shocked by the scene in front of him, and when he saw the two-story wooden house with the black flag hanging, he seemed to think of something, and muttered in a low voice.

"Black Flag Supply Point?"

Lu Jing turned his head and asked.

"It is a place dedicated to supplying some ships that cannot dock in the port, such as pirate ships that have been wanted by the Divine Court Alliance, once this kind of ship is damaged in a large area, if they want to repair it, they can only go to the Black Flag supply point or private port, because they will be immediately notified to the Alliance Navy when they enter any official port, not only will they not be reinforced, but they will be attacked by the local army. ”

As he spoke, Old Man Xu pointed to the materials piled up under the wooden house and the people who were being transported, and then said,

"Supply points such as these, which are generally contracted by underground forces in the state capitals, and the existence of bazaars, which can ensure the circulation of money and goods, are to some extent mutually beneficial, and each has a profit. ”

"The Alliance Navy?"

Lu Jing was confused when he heard it.

"You don't even know this, right, the Divine Court Alliance is a coalition government of countries in the Boundless Sea, and the Shuoming Dynasty is one of the member states, and the Alliance Navy is an army that recruits troops from various countries for unified training, and then is stationed in their branches in various countries to assist or lead local countries to deal with various problems in the Boundless Sea. ”

"Ah~ I understand when you say that. ”

Lu Jing, who had a certain seagull symbol in his mind inexplicably, immediately understood what Old Man Xu meant, paused, and asked with a rather narrow expression,

"Are there three major generals in the alliance navy or something, and they all have beasts in their names......"

"How do I know, now is not the time to talk about this, since the shipwreck market has become a supply point, it proves that there may be a considerable number of pirates here, you have to take advantage of no one to keep an eye on it, and quickly go and sell the things for portable gold leaf. ”

Old man Xu is an old man in the end, and while speaking, his eyes immediately locked on the wooden house platform with copper coin flags hanging at the door of a high-rise building.

"That's it, there aren't many people in the shipwreck market who can eat the goods in your hand, and there is no need to count on these tents underneath, they are all some retail investors, only the high-rise wooden houses are serious shops, and there are chambers of commerce behind them. ”

"They take everything?"

Going up the nearest spiral wooden ladder, in order not to attract too much attention, Lu Jing carried the package in his hand.

"As long as there is something of sufficient value, they will not refuse, and this kind of shop has a special appraiser, and it doesn't take much time to give a price. ”

Glancing at Lu Jing, as if guessing that he had concerns, Old Man Xu spoke again,

"Don't worry, these shops deal with pirates all year round, and the most important thing is integrity, they don't dare to make random prices, otherwise they won't be able to stay in the shipwreck bazaar. ”

"I hope so. ”

Lu Jing hoped that he could make up the cost of buying the ship at one time, otherwise he could only consider borrowing.

"Xu Xu!"

The two were walking and chatting, and as soon as they walked onto the suspended suspension bridge, a call suddenly came from the opposite side.

At first glance, it was a trio, two men and one woman, led by a tall and thin man, and a man and a woman beside him.

Lu Jing first looked back to confirm that there was no one behind him, and then turned his gaze to the old man Xu beside him and asked,

"Looking for you?"

"Well, crews who have been out to sea together before. ”

Old man Xu, who is also Xu Chu, nodded.

"Since it's an old friend, let's talk first, I'll wait for you over there. ”

The old friends are reunited, and Lu Jing doesn't care about waiting for a few minutes.

"The deceased is indeed the deceased, and whether the friend is not a friend is another matter. ”

Pouting, Xu Chu looked at the three people opposite, and couldn't help frowning.

While the two were talking, the three people on the opposite side had already stepped forward, and Lu Jing only noticed that standing behind the tall and thin man was the bald strong man who had been staring at him when he first boarded the boat.

Could it be that he was actually looking at Xu Chu instead of the goods in his hand before?

Lu Jing, who was quite embarrassed when he realized this, could only tilt his head and deliberately take two steps behind, pretending to look around at the scenery.

"Yo, Xu Chu, how did you become like this, I really can't see it if I don't get closer...... Like a bad old man, I thought you would wash your hands a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to be mixed up at sea. ”

As soon as the two sides met, the tall and thin man in the lead did not have the slightest greeting in his words.

"What, is this boundless sea the bathtub of the Zhao family, only you are allowed to stretch your feet?"

Xu Chu's response was quite quick, and then he was about to end the topic,

"Get out of the way if there's nothing to do, we're busy. ”

Zhao Chao didn't say much, and stood in the middle of the suspension bridge, while the two people who followed behind him moved one step to the side, occupying the entire suspension bridge, looking at Xu Chu condescendingly, and clearly wanted to add blockage.

"Lu Jing, let's go...... Hey!"

Xu Chu sank his face and turned around to take Lu Jing to a different path, but he didn't think that the latter had already walked up first.

"Get out of the way!"

Standing in front of Zhao Chao, this time Lu Jing was condescending, looked at him with lowered eyes, and said in a muffled voice.

"You ......"

I wanted to open my mouth to scold, but at the moment when the eyes of the two sides collided, Zhao Chao subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and the fierce momentum that suddenly emerged from the burly man in front of him made it a little difficult for him to speak for a while!

"Boy, when I was on the boat just now, I didn't like you, are you fucking looking for death?"

The bald strong man next to him took a step forward and was about to push Lu Jing's shoulder.

"You're right, I'm looking for death, are you going to help me?"

Grabbing the other party's wrist with his backhand, watching the bald man's face gradually redden, and his forehead was dripping with sweat, Lu Jing grinned and showed a dangerous smile.

Although the bonuses provided by the sea dependents on land are not much, they are enough for Lu Jing, who is far beyond ordinary people in terms of strength, to crush such a small character.

No longer waiting for the replies of the three people opposite, Lu Jing took a step forward and knocked them away directly, turned around and waved his hand, signaling Xu Chu to follow.

"Give Xu a broom like this, you will regret it!"

Xu is a little embarrassed to be knocked away in such a tough way, Zhao Chao opened his mouth and shouted, and when Lu Jing looked back at him, he said in a loud voice full of malice,

"That guy has a curse on him, there are monsters everywhere he goes, and he has killed the people of Mifune, including my original ship, if you take him out to sea, I'm afraid I don't know how he died!"

"Huh?"

Lu Jing looked at Xu Chu in surprise, didn't wait for the latter to speak, and continued to speak with a face full of surprise,

"I didn't expect you to have such a powerful ability, why didn't you say it earlier, I like monsters the most!"

This is the truth, if every monster can send Lu Jing moonlight shells and fins, Lu Jing will definitely love them to death!

It was a mocking speech that was not yin or yang, but now it has become a compliment to the other party, Zhao Chao lowered his face and turned his head to leave, and the other two hurriedly followed.

"Thanks, I didn't expect to meet them here, it's really lucky. ”

For Lu Jing's maintenance, Xu Chu was still very grateful, patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Seriously, you really have a curse on you?"

Lu Jing chewed kraft candy and asked curiously,

"It stands to reason that this ability should only be possessed by the legendary Son of Destiny, and you don't look like this. ”

"Hah, that's because they're not strong...... Don't talk about that, don't you want to sell something, hurry up!"

Xu Chu didn't want to talk about this, so he swallowed it back halfway, pushing Lu Jing's back, urging him to move forward.

"Don't worry, if you really have the ability to attract monsters, or you can mess with me in the future, I am short of a bait that can help me attract monsters...... Phew, the guide who understands the situation at sea, yes, the guide!"

Lu Jing would never admit that he wanted to lure the monster through Xu Chu and then "swipe" himself.

"I'm not a random person who sells my flesh. ”

"You're really troublesome, I won't give you money, so it's not a betrayal, right?"

“...... Get out!"

Crisp and crisp reply.
