Chapter 184: Ink Merchant, Xiao Luoshi
The sails are getting closer and bigger.
This is a huge sail, unusually large, up to 100 zhang, majestic as high as more than 10 zhang, the deck is as wide as the ground. With such a huge sail, I'm afraid it's enough to house 10,000 people.
On the board of the ship stood more than twenty well-proportioned sailors, clutching the cables, busy with something. Two men in green robes had cold expressions, and their gazes penetrated through the space and landed on this island.
"Immortal cultivator?"
When the two of them saw Kanto, they looked at each other.
The giant sail slowly sailed towards the desert island, and finally stopped, and a large anchor was thrown to hold the giant sail in place.
When the black-toothed natives saw this, they immediately cheered, and they all got up and ran towards the giant sail. Soon, they removed cans of water and food from the deck, while some of the black-toothed young men carried baskets of colorful pebbles onto the ship.
It's a deal.
Because the deserted island was so small that there were no streams or springs, all the fresh water and food needed by the Blacktooth natives were brought in by outside merchant ships. And they collect colorful pebbles, which are also needed by some maritime merchants.
"Dare to ask the two fellow Daoists, which maritime merchant does this merchant ship belong to?" Seeing this, Kanto walked out calmly and said to the two blue-robed men.
These two people are different from the black-toothed natives, although their complexions are sallow, they are no different from the monks of the Zhaohua Kingdom. Moreover, they are all in the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, which makes Kanto feel a little happy.
The two had already noticed Kanto, and a man with a black mole on his eyebrows on the left replied, "We are ink merchants. Daoist friends are adventurers who venture to the edge of the sea of stars to hunt demon beasts and take pills? If you have a demon pill, we can buy it at a preferential price. β
"Ugh. It's true that I'm a risk-taker, but I'm ashamed to say it. The trip was fruitless. I am planning to leave this place with the help of your giant sails, I wonder if the two Taoist friends can be accommodating?" Kanto's mind turned extremely quickly. He laughed.
"It's not difficult to take a trip with a fellow Daoist. It's just that this matter requires the consent of my young lady. Wait a minute, I'll go and ask for instructions. The man with the black mole couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard that Kanto had "found nothing", but he still said the same.
"It's so hard. Kanto nodded in delight.
The man with the black mole turned, burrowed into the cabin, and vanished. A moment later, he emerged from the cabin, followed by a maid-like woman.
"Hey. Are you the monk who wants to leave by boat?" asked the maid in a raised voice.
"Yes, that's just down there. Kanto narrowed his eyes and found that this maid had actually cultivated the exercises, about the seventh layer of the fetal body.
"Come with me!" the maid was very arrogant, as if she was too lazy to talk nonsense with Kanto, and turned around and left.
Kanto frowned, even the maid looked like this, I'm afraid its owner is not an easy person to talk to. But now that we've come to this point. He won't back down either. So, following the maid, he crossed the deck and entered a compartment on the upper floor.
The dΓ©cor is elegant. The bead curtain hung down, and there was a burst of fragrance from the faint place. Next to the quaint coffee table, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl sits. The eyes are like pearls, the lips are red and the teeth are white. It's a rare beauty.
"This fellow Daoist, please take a seat. The girl gave up her seat to Kanto and looked at him carefully. A look of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly covered it up and said, "The little woman Xiao Luoshi is the master of the Mo family's merchant ships, and she dares to ask Daoyou what to call her?"
"In the lower Kanto, I saw Miss Xiao. Kanto also secretly looked at this woman, but found that she was at a young age, and she was actually in the early stage of the First Spirit Realm. With such qualifications, if it is placed in the Sword Lingxiao Sect, it is enough to rank in the top three.
A mere merchant family can cultivate such an amazing character, so that he has to be impressed by the power of this ink merchant.
"Giggles, fellow Daoists don't have to be so polite. Xiao Luoshi covered her mouth and smiled, and said with a smile, "Looking at Brother Guan's appearance, it doesn't look like the outfit of Xinghai and other me, I don't know where Your Excellency comes from?"
After all, this woman is a perennial businessman, and she has dealt with all kinds of people, so it is not surprising that she can see through the peculiarities of Kanto at a glance. Kanto's heart was slightly cold, and he said quietly: "Don't hide it from Miss Xiao, she has been cultivating in the open sea with her master all the year round, and it is indeed rare to enter the interior of the sea of stars. This cultivation has achieved a little success, so he plans to leave the place where he has cultivated for many years and enter the sea of stars to increase his knowledge. Unexpectedly, Miss Xiao's eyes were like torches, and she saw through the origin of her identity at a glance, admired, admired. β
Xiao Luoshi was overjoyed and said with a smile: "I see." Seeing that Brother Guan is alone, I'm afraid that there are not many acquaintances in the Xinghai Sea, right? If Your Excellency doesn't think that my ink merchant is too small, why don't you join temporarily and become a guest secretary of the little woman? I won't tell you the truth, although my ink merchant is not as powerful as the three major maritime merchants, in the Xinghai Islands, it is somewhat influential. If Daoyou holds the identity of a merchant and a guest, no matter what he does, it will be more convenient. β
When Kanto heard this, he couldn't help frowning.
It was just the first time he met this woman, and the other party actually directly threw out an invitation like "Keqing", which was too anxious. This made him suspicious in his heart, and he did not dare to agree rashly.
Besides, when he first set foot in this place, he hadn't even figured out what kind of intricate relationship the various forces in the Star Sea had, and he didn't want to get involved in the entanglement between them.
Thinking of this, Kanto pondered for a while, and said cautiously: "I'm sorry, I don't have any plans to join any of the forces in the Star Sea, please forgive Miss Xiao." This time, with the help of the ink merchant giant sail to leave, if you need to spend anything, you will definitely give it in the future. As for the rest, I will not obey it. β
"Giggles," Xiao Luoshi laughed, spitting out the aroma, "This matter is indeed reckless on the part of the little woman. Brother Guan doesn't need to be careful, in fact, I don't mean anything else. The matter of taking a boat is just a gesture of effort, so why worry about it? What's more, it is already a little woman's luck to be able to make friends with a late stage cultivator like Your Excellency, so why not talk about the cost?"
Xiao Luoshi really stopped talking about inviting Kanto to join the ink merchants, but began to chat with him, asking him about his origins. Obviously, she doesn't seem to believe very much in the origin of the subsequent nonsense in Kanto.
Kanto is familiar with dealing with this kind of thing, and there are no obvious flaws in his words, which gradually dispelled the suspicions of this woman. Then he began to inquire about Xinghai again, and this woman was very cheerful, and almost answered all questions.
It turned out that this so-called Star Sea was just an area of tens of thousands of miles in radius composed of tens of thousands of star-dense islands, which belonged to part of the Star Demon Sea. Most of these islands are garrisoned by human immortal cultivators, and ordinary demon beasts don't dare to attack lightly. However, beyond the sea of stars, it is very different, with a group of demons and many dangers. When encountering a high-level demon beast, I am afraid it will be a tragic battle.
And a force like the Ink Merchant developed by transporting some extremely valuable colorful stones, demon pills and other things from remote places beyond the Star Sea to earn huge profits. Of course, behind the high profits is high risk, even if there are many strong people sitting on their giant sails, they will often encounter all kinds of dangers.
Every danger will cause it to lose many strong people. Therefore, they recruited "guest secretaries" in case of emergency. (To be continued......)
