Chijo's assassination of the owner of the "Naganoya Geisha House" in the pirate city is definitely not a small problem.
After all, it is one of the local snakes in the pirate city. . .
That "Ghost Sword" Aki's own strength is not weak, not to mention that he represents the country of the hidden mountains.
Su Lun also guessed that this was probably the reason why Qianjo didn't want to get involved.
Even more complex situations may be involved.
Su Lun knew a secret from stripping the soul of "One-Eyed" Shok before: "Old Rune" is not a native of Shanyin, but defected from Lu Ying.
This is where the problem lies.
Why does an outsider become a person with more real power than the name of Shanyin Kingdom?
Official art halls like the Geisha Hall are run by the old man's son, which makes people very puzzled. The hidden feelings in it are probably the reason why geisha Koike is very taboo to talk about it.
......
A sudden battle broke out in the Geisha Pavilion, and a large number of samurai from the Yamayin Kingdom poured into the pavilion.
It's a pity that people didn't have time to rush up, and the battlefield shifted. The warriors searched everywhere, but couldn't find anyone, so naturally they had to let it go.
But with such a commotion, the tea art sword dance and so on naturally can't continue to watch.
Sang, the mother of the brothel, also sensibly exempted all the guests from spending.
But Su Lun still gave Xiaochi the money he should have given as a tip.
The geishas of the Mountain Hidden Country look bright with their food and lodging. But fate is not so good.
Not long after, Koike stepped on the clogs and sent Su Lun out of the geisha hall all the way.
The two said their goodbyes at the cherry blossom forest.
She looked at Su Lun with a gentle smile, and asked politely, "Sir, will you come next time?"
Look at that expression, sincere and sincere, I am afraid that people can't bear to say the word "no".
Su Lun smiled and felt that it would be good to come and sit in the future, so he responded, "I have a chance to come again."
"Ok."
Koike nodded and said nothing more.
Retention is to give people a thought, not a burden. Just right is the best.
What did she think of, Yingying smiled, "Xiaochi has never met such a special person as Mr...."
Su Lun couldn't hear any hypocrisy, and responded with a polite smile, "It's also very pleasant to get along with Miss Koike."
Hearing this, Xiaochi showed a happy smile on his face, and bowed his knees in a salute, "Sir, this is the best compliment I've heard..."
Seeing that Su Lun was going to leave, she pondered for a moment, and her expression showed a touch of shyness again, and her tone became a little less smooth for the first time tonight, "If... if you want to stay tonight, sir... it is also fine."
"Forget it today."
Su Lun raised his eyebrows and smiled, only then did he realize that the other party's ability to observe words and expressions really saw the difference in himself.
It's not that I don't care, I just don't want to make it too special.
A little pirate, who is qualified to stay overnight in a geisha tube.
It's always right to be careful.
Hearing this, Xiaochi didn't say much, a flash of regret flashed in his eyes, and bowed to greet him: "Sir, walk slowly."
......
Su Lun walked out of the geisha hall refreshed and refreshed, as if he had given a bath to the spirit, washing away all the depression and anxiety of floating at sea these days.
He walked on the streets of Pirate City again.
The area of the fortress is very large, the streets are twisty and deep, and it is not enough to visit the entertainment venues for ten days and a half. There are also small islands and floating boats around, each with its own characteristics. This is where the entertainment industry has been developed to the extreme.
If there are no children on the street rummaging for food in trash cans, skinny beggars without clothes, stinking pirate corpses in the alleys... The bustling scene of Hastelling, even Ruth The most prosperous territory in the UK is nothing more than that.
Su Lun walked unhurriedly in the city, he wanted to get acquainted with the road of the whole city.
Thinking that in case of emergency, I can run faster.
I had stripped away some memories before, and walked again, almost all of them were familiar.
About an hour later, I received a thousand communications.
The gambling-addicted young woman still did not elaborate on what she was doing, but she revealed her plan to go to the Land of Hidden Mountains.
Su Lun guessed something, but she didn't say it or ask more.
It's good to hear that she's fine.
......
After staying on the boat for a long time, there was no sleepiness, and Su Lun wandered around the city for a while.
When I walked to the street of the casino, I also encountered a pirate accomplice on the same ship.
Those guys also just came out of Fengyuechang Entertainment, and they still have some money in their hands, so they plan to gamble.
Speaking of going to the arena, Su Lun followed.
The four countries of Beizhou have their own characteristics.
Just like the Geisha Hall is a feature of the Yamayin Kingdom, and the gladiator is a specialty of the Roman Kingdom.
The aborigines of Romance are all belligerent, and so is the woman.
They believe in the "God of War" and various gods representing strength and bravery. There is a fighting gene in everyone's blood, and people are proud of the battlefield. It is said that there are many stone carvings of combat skills left over from ancient times in that country, even monkeys, after watching for a long time, are proficient in various combat skills.
Because of this tradition, the Roman Empire is also the strongest training base for gladiators, exporting a large number of gladiators to the outside world. Even many slave merchants in the two major empires specially sent people over for training.
The people around Lolotta around Qianjo were trained from the Roman Arena and went to Lu Ying to perform slave gladiators for the nobles.
Suren watched a few gladiator games and met real gladiators.
Although the gods that Roman's followers believe in seem to have fallen, some mysterious power systems have been passed down. This also allows those gladiators to possess a formidable combat power comparable to Warcraft even if they do not follow the alchemy system.
A group of people stayed in the arena until the middle of the night, winning and losing.
Those who have won money will go to the bathing area to spend the second half of the night happily; those who have lost all will go back to the boat at the dock and sleep in the cabin.
Su Lun's luck is not bad, winning or losing is not big.
He didn't want to spend the night in the cramped and foul-smelling cabin after taking the small half-moon boat.
I also found a hotel in the city and had a good night's sleep.
......
The next day, the weather was fine.
Sullen opened her eyes from the meditation.
Outside the hotel window, the scenery of the pirate city is unobstructed, the sea breeze blows slowly, the island has beautiful scenery, the blue waves are rippling, the scenery is really good.
But the city of gold during the day is like a beauty with the filter turned off. Although it still looks good, it doesn't have that radiant feeling after all.
Another unpretentious day as a pirate minion.
Rich pirates would sleep through the day, or go to pubs and gambling stalls for entertainment.
A pirate who has no money also sleeps for a day.
Su Lun was not idle, he left the hotel, changed his clothes, and continued to wander around the city.
In the pirate city, there are many shops that only open during the day.
Su Lun now knows that a large number of Mafa mechanical equipment and old Lingdon items have flowed into the pirate city. He plans to go to those boutique shops to find out if he can find some. Stop by to see if there are any other goodies. In the pirate city, there is never a shortage of good things.
Following the direction in his memory, Su Lun walked over several covered bridges, and then took the crude ropeway to a stalagmite pirate next to the Golden City.
It is called "Colorful Conch City".
It's a bit like the underground black market of Old Lington, where all the buildings are stilted buildings supported by some wooden sticks on the rock wall. The roof is colorful, like colorful mushrooms growing on the stone.
The black market that Sullen went to yesterday was a large-scale market, so it was a bit like a flea market.
There are street stalls, there are shops, selling all kinds of strange things.
There are also boutique shops selling high-end alchemy items. Those salvaged from the bottom of the sea, excavated from the ruins, and robbed of fine things will mostly converge on this market.
As long as you have money, you can always find something you are satisfied with.
Most of the people who hang out in the pirate market during the day are professional merchants among the pirates.
Not even pirates, there are middlemen in some grey areas of Lu Ying.
Pirates seem to be disorderly bandits, but in fact, some pirate groups are secretly funded by Lu Ying's major forces. The spy group of the royal family of Lu Ying, the pirate group of the Chamber of Commerce that suppressed competitors, and the adventure group funded by nobles...
So it has been playing continuously for so many years, and the scale is still getting bigger and bigger.
The looted items will also flow back to Lu Ying through these gray channels.
Su Lun wandered around the shops, and she was pleasantly surprised.
Not only did he find some finished mechanical products, he even found a lot of laboratory-level research instruments!
Pirates are all borrowers and have almost no ability to engage in research and development. For them, these high-precision instruments are similar to scrap iron, and they are all commodities that eat ashes in the shop. Su Lun bought these real treasures that money can't buy at a very beautiful price.
Fortunately, it was not too late for him to return to the Pirate City. In a year and a half, those things would most likely flow into the two empires.
When you buy something, the money is not enough.
Su Lun also sold several batches of loot that he had collected before. Although the price is a little lower, it is worth it for some urgently needed things.
......
Su Lun wandered around and came to a shop called "Three Torii".
This is a special shop in the mountain hidden country, selling swords, samurai kai and some strange things.
The sunny doll hanging at the door swayed, Su Lun glanced at it, and walked in.
The shop owner is a middle-aged man wearing a kimono. He has the typical courtesy of the Shanyin people. When he sees the guests, he bows and salutes politely: "Welcome to the small shop."
Su Lun nodded and looked at the goods displayed in the window.
Shanyin country produces famous swords, and there are also a large number of swords in the shop.
The middle-aged boss happened to be holding the long sword in his hand and introduced: "Sir, do you want to buy a knife? This is the [Three Generations Valley], the work of the forging master Mr. Kurosawa. But it's a rare good knife..."
All are good things, but unfortunately Su Lun is not a swordsman, this thing is useless to him.
When used on puppets, it's a bit tasteless, and it's good but too extravagant.
He thought of the "Chrysanthemum Pattern Shrine One Guard" he saw yesterday, and asked casually, "Are there any twelve famous swords?"
The middle-aged boss said with a smile: "Sir, you are joking. Naturally, there is no such famous knife shop. It can be said that there is not any shop."
He looked at Su Lun's seemingly joking expression, and smiled again: "It seems that the guests have high requirements for weapons. It's a pity, as far as I know, there are only four of the twelve famous swords in the world. It's in the hands of very powerful swordsmen..."
Su Lun shrugged noncommittally, thinking that if he can afford it, buy one for Qianjian?
The young woman who is addicted to gambling takes good care of herself and should give gifts.
The middle-aged man introduced other items in the store, "Sir, are you interested in seeing other items..."
This shop is more like an antique shop, there are many antiques in the window.
The armor of Yamagak General Hattori's dead ship;
A sealed bottle of a black jar, said to be made by a witch [chewing wine];
Legend has it that the [Tengu mask] can summon monsters, the talisman that hides the ghosts...
Everything is good, Su Lun has identified it, and most of them have some special effects.
For Sullen, though, it was of little use.
At this time, Su Lun saw some ancient books and documents in the corner of the shop, and asked again, "Are there any documents about monster legends?"
The middle-aged boss said: "Yes. The best thing about writing monster stories in the last century is none other than "Fairy Story" by the great writer Fujiwara Hayato. It just so happens that I have a few volumes of his manuscripts here, so I'll show you them a bit?"
Sullen nodded.
The monsters in the Mountain Hidden Country are rampant, which is different from the Warcraft, and also different from the aberration monster, a very special existence.
He was really interested to know.
The middle-aged boss was rummaging on the shelves, but at this moment, the wind bell rang outside the door, and a few more guests came in.
Su Lun sensed the breath of those people, and his pupils shrank suddenly!
There were seven people in the group, five were left at the door and two entered the house, all of them wearing cloaks and couldn't see their faces.
This configuration, no matter how you look at it, looks like a big man traveling, a guard and a master.
Moreover, in Su Lun's perception, the fire of the souls of these people is illusory and unpredictable.
If it wasn't for the interference of high-level curses, it would be outrageously strong.
No matter what kind it is, it doesn't look very provocative.
"Where do these people come from? If they are big pirates, there is absolutely no need to hide their heads and tails like this."
Su Lun murmured in his heart, without showing any abnormality, like an ordinary guest, watching in front of the window.
"Boss, do you have Gustav's literature here?"
He spoke like an old lady, and spoke in a kind tone.
The middle-aged boss asked suspiciously, "Gustav?"
The old lady said: "Maybe it's another name, called 'Fujiwara Hayato'."
The middle-aged boss said: "Oh, of course there is. I just want to show it to the guest. The small shop is probably the one that collects the most manuscripts of Mr. Fujiwara."
Hearing this, the old lady didn't ask the price at all, and said, "If you don't mind, I want to buy it all."
The middle-aged man was a little embarrassed. He looked at Su Lun and asked, "Sir, what do you think? After all, it is you who read it first."
Su Lun glanced at him with an uninterested look on his face, "Of course I don't mind."
Those manuscripts were identified as [ordinary manuscripts], and there were no special effects, so naturally there was no need to buy the original.
For Su Lun, who just wanted to know about the customs of the mountains, a transcript would suffice.
Moreover, the things of this great writer are still very expensive, and they are almost catching up with [Isaac's alchemy manuscript].
After listening to the price, Su Lun would definitely not waste the money.
But the old lady didn't bargain at all, and she spent nearly 10 million lisos for those manuscripts.
This group of people bought things and asked a few more questions about the great writer "Fujiwara Hayato", and they left without finding anything else.
The shop was quiet again.
Su Lun was still in front of the counter, guessing in his heart: "I bought it for collection? Why does it feel like a big noble..."
Some people can hear her self-restraint just from the tone of voice.
Although the old lady didn't talk much just now, Su Lun also heard that this person's origin was definitely not simple. Besides, someone who can spend such a large sum of money to buy a few manuscripts should not be a pirate.
Moreover, Su Lun didn't know if it was an illusion. When those people left just now, the **** next to the old lady seemed to take a second look at herself?
......
Su Lun spent most of the day shopping in Conch City and got a good harvest.
He returned to the Golden Walled City again. He was lucky. The materials ordered at "A Tangsao's Magic Materials Shop" last night were all collected in advance.
After paying the final payment, I got the materials filled with dozens of storage rings.
Su Lun originally wanted to take the materials back to the hotel to make a new puppet, but seeing that it was still early in the world, he happened to pass by another shop that had an impression in his memory. The small house with the sign "Poseidon Divination Shop".
There lives a witch who can do divination and is also one of the most well-informed intelligence merchants in the pirate city.
Su Lun lifted the curtain of magic isolation, and there were various seal formations everywhere in the room.
The magic lamp was dim and gray, and a dark-skinned woman who was playing tarot cards could be seen divination with chess and cards. She has fish scales on her face and is said to be a mixture of human and murloc. Pirates called her Amaris the "Black Beauty".
As soon as Su Lun entered, she said in a daze: "The divination told me that there will be a very special guest today."
Su Lun didn't listen to it. This is a professional term, and everyone is like this.
He said directly: "I need to inquire about a few news."
As soon as Amaris heard it, she knew she was here, and she didn't continue her tricks.
"Have you heard of the 'Cyclops'?"
"Have you heard of a Holy Grail? It came from the demihuman tribe..."
"Have you heard of the Pirate King 'Black Sam's Cursed Gold Coin'?"
"I want to find some advanced space materials, do you have any recommendations?"
"..."
Su Lun said all the information he wanted to inquire about, and it was not sensitive information.
I originally thought of casting a wide net, but it doesn't matter if I can find out.
But I didn't think so, this black beauty really knows a lot!
Amaris said directly: "In the legend of our sea clan, the Cyclops exists on a certain island in the depths of the West Sea. However, it is not a place that humans can set foot in. Only a great adventurer who is not afraid of wind and waves is possible. Get a glimpse of the true face of the mythical race. As for the 'Black Sam's Cursed Gold Coin', I think you may have to ask someone, and he has just one in his hand. As for space materials, I heard that someone in the black market has a supply I can ask you if you need to, but the price may be a bit high..."
When Su Lun heard this, he was overjoyed.
Sure enough, professional things have to be left to professional people to do!
These intelligence businessmen have a lot of surprising information in their hands.
Even the official Lu Ying has a "rat warehouse" to sell military supplies, let alone pirates? As long as there is profit, there will definitely be someone reselling the "space breeding"!
Before Su Lun came to Pirate City, he guessed that there would be information on "Void Colony" here.
When asked, there really is.
After some conversation, Su Lun spent 200,000 yuan to get the desired news from the black beauty.
As for the Void Colony, after listening to the exaggerated offer, he didn't ask.
Since there is news coming out, this news will become more and more worthless.
......
Pirate City is said to be big is very big.
But small is also small.
For example, there are a few big markets for selling materials.
It was also a coincidence that while Su Lun was still inquiring about the news in the divination shop, the sound of battle suddenly came from the black market.
Originally, it was normal for pirates to fight, but this time, when Su Lun went out to watch the fun, he found that the fighting party was actually an acquaintance.
The guy with the broken arm was clearly Alec Barrett, the commander of the Luying Holy Judgment Corps whom he had seen in the Valley of Curses before!
"Why did this guy come to Pirate City?"
Suren was also surprised when he saw the scratches on Barrett's rank.
That's a sign of defection.
