Old Hai snorted, looked at this cup of hot water, looked up at ello in front of him again, thought about it and said, "whatever, it doesn't matter to talk to you anyway. It's not the first time. "
He picked up his glass and took a sip of it before he went on——
"Our small village has no 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, not at the route points of various important sea routes, and there were no products, so basically no one came. Later, someone died and floated to the islands. Because I didn't know it was only half a day away from Hanhai City, I had no way but to survive here. After more than ten years, it gradually took root here. When a ship finally came, it realized that it was so close to Hanhai city. "
"Subsequently, the archipelago was registered on the chart of the blue bay Empire and under the direct jurisdiction of Hanhai city. But when it comes to jurisdiction, who will take care of such a residential area without any property and residents? "
"Therefore, the development of the village has been very slow over the years. Only those who want to live far away from the crowd will slowly come here and look for a life that is not disturbed by anyone. In this way, we have such a village. "
Ailuo smiled: "so, master Hai, you are also a person who doesn't like outsiders?"
Old man Hai said goodbye to arrow: "some people don't like dealing with people, while others don't like the original lifestyle or environment. You can't kill him with one shot. "
Arrow smiled, "OK, you go on."
Old man Hai: "well, our village is developing so slowly. But in recent years, things have suddenly changed. "
"People kept coming from Hanhai city and asked the people of our whole village to move away, either to Hanhai city or to other cities."
"But what do you mean? Suddenly came and asked us to move? We have lived here for decades! You city people didn't care about us before, and now you suddenly come and ask us to leave? There is no such reason in the world! "
After thinking about it, arrow said, "so, you don't know why they want you to move?"
Old Hai snorted, "don't move! Don't move no matter how much money you give! Recently, they said that our village was expropriated and the sea area was expropriated. They asked us to leave! But what we care about is not the problem of money, but the problem of living here all the time! No matter what you say, we won't move! This is the belief that the whole village adheres to! "
A piece of debris had formed in ello's heart. He nodded again and said, "all right! Master Hai, we won't talk about those sad things. As I said just now, we are here to buy thick meat starfish. How many thick meat starfish do you have here? "
When it came to doing business, the resentment on the old man's face finally faded a little. He groaned and said, "nothing else, there are really many thick meat starfish on our side. It seems that there has been a warm current in this sea area in recent ten years, so the sea water is very warm all year round. Such warm sea water will naturally attract a lot of sea sand shells to breed. "
"You know what? The favorite food of thick meat starfish is seashells! More sea sand shells, more thick meat starfish! Those thick meat starfish raised in our village are fat and strong. The meat is different from other thick meat starfish. It is very soft, waxy and sweet! Alas, if it's not too far from the city and inconvenient for transportation, I really want to transport these starfish to the capital to sell. "
Arrow was a little surprised.
In this world, some people think that the meat of thick meat starfish is soft, waxy and sweet? Crazy!
Seeing ello's disbelief on his face, old man Hai also put on a look of love and disbelief. Hehe sneered: "whatever you think, come to our village and try it tomorrow!"
"All right, all right! I believe, I really believe. "
Arrow raised his hands in surrender, and then continued to ask——
"Well, how much output do you have? I want to buy a lot. Can you supply it? "
Old Hai rolled his eyes again and said, "enough! Enough! Seeing so many thick meat starfish every year, we can only feed them to Dabao because we can't sell them. It's also painful in our hearts! Now, under the sea water of our whole archipelago, there are at least 10000 thick flesh starfish! And it's really very convenient to salvage. When the tide ebbs during the day, you can catch it casually with a fishing net! "
Suddenly, ello felt as if he knew what was going on here. He nodded gently, smiled and said, "I see! HMM... another thing I want to ask is, haven't you ever issued the license plate of your farm? "
An alert expression flashed on the old man's face again, but a moment later, he still said, "yes, I see. You think I don't have a license plate, so I don't want to pay, right?! Hum! I tell you, it's not that easy! Even if I fight my life, I won't let you default so easily! "
Interestingly enough, the sea old man just looked a little depressed, and now he began to be rampant again. I don't know whether he didn't think so much or whether he really had some confidence
Ello didn't want to make trouble. He waved his hand again and again, smiled and said, "hahaha, no, of course, we are willing to spend money to buy it. Um... Let's see... It's very late now. When the day comes tomorrow, let's go to your village. We'll talk about the price then. "
With that, ello didn't intend to talk to the old man any more, but directly sent him to the cabin below with a smile.
As for the guild members next to him, he didn't say much, but nodded gently and told everyone to go to bed. Let's talk about anything tomorrow.
————
Early the next morning, when the fog over the sea gradually dissipated, the siren queen also acted again.
The Warcraft in the sea named Dabao, which sank in the sea yesterday, is now leaning quietly next to the siren queen. With the sunshine, looking down from above, it can indeed be regarded as a small floating beach, and the back of the floating beach is covered with gravel and dust. If I hadn't witnessed the cheese plucking blood from the gravel and dust yesterday, I'm afraid arrow would think it was an ordinary floating beach.
Now, there is still a little light red blood seeping from the scratched place on the Warcraft's back, which dyed the surrounding sea a little red. But it's obviously much better than the blood flying scene last night.
The big treasure Warcraft leaned on the side of the siren queen and seemed to linger on the ship to explore something.
When the sea old man's face appeared on the edge of the ship, the Warcraft finally stretched out a small mass of meat from the sea, similar to shrem's viscous tentacles, stuck to the edge of the ship, and made bursts of slight shouts.
Old Hai said hello to the Warcraft below, then turned his head and looked at the mermaid song member in front of him.
While he was thinking in silence, a slow horn came from another direction of the islands.
Cream listened and said, "this is the beginning of the search. Although the search speed may be slower for those people without ships, there are many magicians and experts in their team. The narrow waterway between these islands can't trap them. "
Old Hai's face twitched. After thinking for a moment, he finally said as if he had made up his mind: "are you... Really just here to buy thick meat starfish? Not for anything else? "
Arrow knew that he could not give the old man too much time to hesitate. He bluffed him and said, "forget it, since you won't say it, let's find someone who is willing to say it. Set sail! Since there is a village here, it can't be built in too secret places. We should be able to find it if we look inside again. "
"OK, OK! I'll take you, I'll take you! Don't... don't mess around, we still have children over there... "
When the words came out, old man Hai suddenly thought that he had leaked his mouth, and suddenly exposed his weakness. However, as if he hadn't heard it, ello smiled and said, "then please lead the way quickly."
The sea old man nodded, came to the edge of the ship again, and made a few shouts to the big treasure Warcraft below, which Ailuo couldn't understand. After hearing the cry, the huge Warcraft under the water finally released the siren queen so that the ship could move slowly along the current.
Along the winding Seaway, the scenery on both sides is constantly changing.
Arrow was not worried about what tricks the sea old man could play. After all, the village doesn't look like a secret base, so there's no need to build it. Even if no one leads the way, as long as you walk around here a few more times, I believe you will find it sooner or later.
The fact did not surprise arrow, but in half an hour, Queen siren drove into a natural harbor. As soon as I entered the harbor, I saw some wooden boats docked here and scattered buildings on several nearby islands not far away.
Similarly, there are those living in this village who hurried out because they saw someone coming.
