Gold coin is justice

The old man snorted, looked at the cup of hot water and raised his head again to look at Ai Luo in front of him. After thinking for a while, he said: "Whatever, it doesn't matter if I talk to you anyway. It's not the first time I said it anyway. ."

He took a sip from the water glass, and then continued--

"Our small village does not have a name. In fact, it is a village. There are more than 50 people living in it. At the beginning, our archipelago deviated from the route and was not located on the important sea routes, and there was no property. , So basically no one came. Later, someone was killed and floated on this island. Because I didn’t know that it was only half a day away from Hanhai City, so there was no other way but to survive here. After ten A few years later, it has gradually taken root here, and when there are finally ships coming, then I realize that it is so close to Hanhai City."

"Subsequently, this archipelago was also registered on the Blue Bay Empire's nautical chart, and it was under the direct jurisdiction of Hanhai City. However, it is jurisdiction, who will take care of such a settlement with no properties and residents?"

"Therefore, the development of the village has been very slow in recent years. Only those who want to live away from the crowd will come here slowly, looking for a life that is not disturbed by anyone. In this way, we have Such a village."

Ai Luo laughed: "So, Master Hai, you are also a person who doesn't like outsiders?"

Old Man Hai took a look away from Ai Luo: "Some people don't like to deal with people, and some people don't like the original way of life or the environment. You can't kill him with one shot."

Ai Luo smiled: "Okay, you continue."

Old man Hai: "Originally, our village has developed so slowly. But in recent years, things have suddenly changed."

"People from Hanhai City continue to come and ask everyone in our village to move out, either to Hanhai City or to other cities."

"But what do you mean? Suddenly came over and asked us to move? We have lived here for decades! You people in the city didn't care about us before, but now suddenly came to ask us to leave? There is no such truth in the world. what!"

Ai Luo left a heart in his heart. After thinking about it, he said, "So, you don't know why they want you to move?"

The old man snorted: "No! No matter how much money is given, we don’t move! The last few times they said that our village was requisitioned and this sea area was also requisitioned, and they asked us to leave! But what we care about It is not a question of money, but a question of how we have been living here! No matter what you say, we will not move! This is the belief that the people of our entire village hold fast!"

A piece of debris has formed in Ai Luo's heart. He nodded again and said: "Okay! Master Hai, let's not talk about those sad things. I just said that we are here to buy thick flesh starfish. How many thick fleshy starfish are there?"

Speaking of being able to do business, the resentment on this old man's face finally faded slightly.He snorted and said: "Apart from anything else, there are really a lot of thick sea stars on our side. There seems to be warm currents in this sea area in the past ten years, so the sea is very warm throughout the year, so warm. Sea water will naturally attract a lot of sea sand shells to breed."

"Do you know? The favorite food of thick-flesh starfish is sea sand oysters! There are more sea sand scallops, so there are more thick-flesh sea stars! The thick-flesh starfish raised in our village are all fat and strong. , The meat is different from other thick-meat starfish, very soft and sweet! Alas, if it’s not because it’s too far from the city and it’s not convenient for transportation, I really want to ship these starfish to the capital to sell. ."

Airo was a little surprised.

In this world, there will be people who think that the meat of the thick sea star is soft and sweet?Go crazy!

Seeing Ai Luo's disbelief look, the old man also put on a look of believing it or not, hehe sneered and said: "Whatever you think, come and taste it in our village tomorrow!"

"Okay, okay! I believe it, I really believe it."

Ai Luo raised his hands to express surrender, and then continued to ask——

"Then, how much output do you have here? I want to buy a lot. Can you supply it?"

The old man rolled his eyes again and said, "Enough! Enough! Every year I see so many thick-flesh starfishes, but because they can’t sell them, I can only feed them to Dabao. Our heart hurts too! Now, in our entire archipelago. There are at least 10,000 thick sea stars under the sea! And it's really convenient to fish. When the tide is low during the day, you can use fishing nets to catch them casually!"

Suddenly, Airo felt as if he understood what was going on inside.He nodded lightly, and said with a smile: "So that's it! Hmm... Another thing I want to ask is, your farm license... hasn't been issued yet?"

A vigilant expression flashed across Old Man's face again, but after a while, he still groaned and said, "Yes, I understand. You guys think I don't have a license here, so you want to not pay, right? Hmph! I tell you, it's not that easy! Even if I fight my life, I won't let you go wrong so easily!"

Interestingly speaking, this old man looked a little sluggish just now, but now he is rampant again.I don't know if he didn't think about it so much, or he really has some confidence...

Ai Luo didn't want to be out of the corner, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hahaha, no, of course, we are willing to spend money to buy it. Um... let's see... It's late now, and we will wait until tomorrow day. , Let’s go to your village and have a look. Then we will talk about the price."

After that, Ai Luo didn't plan to talk any more with the old man, but sent him to the cabin below with a smile.

As for the guild members next to him, he didn't say much, but lightly nodded and told everyone to rest and sleep. Let's talk about something tomorrow.

————

Early in the morning of the next day, after the mist that filled the sea gradually dissipated, the Queen Siren also moved again.

The monster in the sea that sank in the sea yesterday and called Dabao is now quietly leaning against the Queen Siren.Relying on the sunlight, looking down here from above can indeed be regarded as a small floating beach, the back of which is covered with gravel and dust.If it hadn't been for witnessing the cheese grabbing blood from the gravel and dust yesterday, I am afraid Airo would have thought it was an ordinary floating beach.

Now, the scratched place on this monster's back still has a little light red blood seeping out, dyeing the surrounding sea a little red.But compared to the blood flying scene last night, it was obviously much better.

This big treasure beast leaned on the side of Queen Siren, seeming to constantly dawdle towards the hull, wanting to explore something.

When the old man's face appeared on the edge of the ship, this monster finally protruded from the sea with a small group of fleshy tentacles similar to slimes, sticking to the edge of the ship, and it burst out. There was a slight shout.

The old man said hello to the monster below, then turned his head and looked at the Mermaid Song members in front of him.

While he was thinking in silence, he was abrupt, and there was an unhurried horn from another direction in the archipelago.

Cream listened for a while and said, "This is about to start the search. Although the search speed may be slower for those people without a ship, there are many magicians and masters in their team. The narrow waterways between the islands could not trap them."

There was a twitch on Old Man's face. After thinking for a moment, he finally said as if made up his mind: "You...really only here to buy the thick flesh starfish? Not for other things?"

Ai Luo knew that he couldn't give the old man too much time to hesitate now, and directly scared him and said: "Forget it, since you refuse to say it, then we will go find someone who is willing to say it. Set sail! Since there is one here Village, then it is impossible for this village to be built in a place that is too secret. We should be able to find it by turning inside."

"Yes! I'll take you, I'll take you! Don't... don't mess around, we still have children... well..."

When the words were spoken, Old Man Hai suddenly thought that he had missed his mouth, and he immediately exposed his weakness.But Ai Luo didn't hear it, smiled, and said, "Then, please lead the way."

The old man nodded, came to the edge of the ship again, and made a few shouts that Airo could not understand at the Dabao Beast below.After hearing the shout, the huge monster under the water finally released the Queen Siren, allowing the ship to slowly move along the current.

Along the winding seaway, the scenery on both sides is constantly changing.

Airo didn't worry about what tricks this old man could play.After all, this village doesn't look like a secret base, so there is absolutely no need to build it so concealed.Even if no one leads the way, as long as you wander around here a few more times, I believe you will find it sooner or later.

The fact did not exceed Airo's expectations, but within half an hour, Queen Siren drove into a natural harbour.As soon as I entered the harbor, I saw some wooden boats docked here, as well as scattered buildings on several nearby islands not far away.

Similarly, there are people living in this village who rushed out because they saw someone coming.
