Parallel Armies——The Sound of the Turning Tide Chapter 80 The Little Beggar's Experience
Seeing that Fageni was already eating, Alexander silently ordered something to eat without wanting to say anything.
Fageni was eating a sea frog leg sandwich that tasted a little weird, thinking about what his new knife would look like tonight, but it probably wouldn't be too outrageous.
Hitz followed Alexander, but he only ordered a vegetable salad mixed with jam. This time, the other foods Alexander ordered were heavy in oil and salt. Although they were quite tasty, they were not suitable for elves.
"Have you found a way to go to the island for burial?" Seeing Hitz sitting down, Fageni asked her.
"Yes, I found it." The elf inserted a piece of apple, dipped it in some blueberry jam, and put it in his mouth.
Fageni nodded and continued to chew the chewy frog legs in his mouth. "Then do you know where Burial River Island is?" he asked again.
"Before you went to inquire about information, didn't you know that a few old crew members came back alive from Burial River Island and repaired the ship? You can ask them then." Hitz said.
"Didn't some of those people become businessmen and some were not here? Weren't they checked at the Chamber of Commerce before?" Fageni asked in return.
"There's nothing we can do about it. There seems to be nothing we can do except asking them. Alas, it's a bit difficult to find the Burial River Island." Heath inserted another piece of banana into his mouth.
Fageni nodded and did not mention the church. He planned to go to the church again around three or four in the afternoon.
Alexander waited until after lunch break to go to the Duke's Palace.
The two took a short rest, and Alexander and Heath arrived at the gate of the Duke's Palace at about two o'clock. This time, the guard let them go directly, and took them to the pavilion.
Alexander still stepped forward to greet him. "Hello, Duke, we came on time. How is the situation?"
After Lailan waved his hand for the two of them to sit down, he had a framed photo in his hand.
Alexander didn't show any pretense. He sat across from him and looked at the Duke and the photo frame in his hand, waiting for him to speak first. Heath also sat down and looked at the Duke and the photo frame in his hand without saying anything.
"This is a high-level trading license that allows you to travel freely by sea without paying taxes, and allows you to voluntarily deviate from the route. This thing costs three hundred linseys, and the ship costs one thousand four hundred linseys. Traders
You can sell the license in full to other captains who want to get it. After you return to the port and the ship can still be used normally, I can buy it with 1,200 linseys." He returned the remaining money.
Alexander.
"Thank you, Your Majesty Duke." Hitz thanked Alexander on his behalf, which enhanced his sense of presence.
Alexander took the money a little later than Hitz and said: "I understand. Is there a crew on the ship? Or do we need to hire our own?"
Lailan shook his head. "I think it will be more difficult for you to find crew members who are willing to go, but if you find at least one navigator, the other work that needs to be done on the ship will be simple for you. "
"Yeah...but we went to the pier to inquire. It seems that everyone who has been there before happens to be away from Bakato now." Alexander still had a headache.
"I can't help you in this regard." Lelan shook his head. At this time, a guard walked into the pavilion quickly and whispered something to the Duke. "Sorry, excuse me." After saying that, he stood up and left quickly.
.
"Uh, okay, please." Alexander watched Lailan and the guards leave.
While the two were waiting in the pavilion, Princess Bai Ni walked past the path at the other end of the garden. When their eyes met, she smiled kindly and immediately compared Hitz to him.
Hitz bowed his head to Princess Bai Ni politely.
"Ah, Your Highness Princess." Alexander stood up. "Nice to meet you. We have something to ask you. Is it convenient now?"
Princess Bai Ni stopped. She seemed a little confused, but she still stood there, waiting for Alexander to say something thirty feet away.
"That's it." Alexander stood still to avoid misunderstanding. "We are mercenaries. We have received a commission and need to go to Burial Island to find fish egg materials for treating scaly disease. But those who have been there before have recently
We are not in Bakato, is there anything you can do? We have a suitable ship, but we don’t have a pilot.”
"The Sea Clan doesn't know much about the situation on the islands above the tide line, but I can ask a royal guard to escort you. I think he can repel many sea beasts." If Princess Baini is the royal guard sent by Kanas,
Being equally strong would be a big help.
"Well... thank you for your kindness, but wouldn't it be a bad influence to directly ask the royal guards to help us do this kind of thing?" Alexander hesitated.
"How could it have such a bad influence? What a sacred cause this is." Princess Bai Ni lowered her head and blessed the two of them in the language of the sea tribe. Alexander and Shiz felt refreshed all over their bodies.
"Thank you for your blessing." Alexander began to sweat and nervously thought about how to formulate words to politely reject this innocent-looking princess.
"But you see, considering that an assassination occurred not long ago, your safety is more important. If something happens to a royal guard after he leaves with us, we really can't afford it. Your
We appreciate the kindness, so let's forget it." Alexander's problem is not a matter of combat power.
"It doesn't matter, there are many guards to protect me. You need this help which is only a small protection for me, and it's very safe here." Bai Ni smiled, turned around and left slowly. It can be seen that she is not quite there yet.
Walk on both feet after adapting to the deformation.
"Thank you so much, Your Highness, Princess." Hitz saluted Princess Bai Ni to show respect and gratitude.
"Um..." Alexander wanted to say something else, but his mind couldn't turn around. He didn't know what to say to make her stay, so he could only watch her leave. "Thank you."
After waiting for a while, a guard came to inform them that Duke Lelan would not be able to come back for the time being and was dealing with a difficult matter.
"I understand, thank you. Let's take our leave first." Alexander thought for a while and prepared to leave.
"Heath, let's go. Let's go to the dock to try our luck. Alas, I have to tell you about the guard when I see the Duke again."
"Okay, no problem." Hitz could only go to the dock with Alexander to see if they could find any crew members they could hire.
On the way to the Cathedral of the Holy God, a group of children were chasing a dirty little beggar who was hugging a broken bowl. As a very experienced adventurer, Fageni was naturally aware of this little beggar.
My legs were problematic and very stiff, but my speed was very fast. Other children could not catch up, and no passers-by cared about me. After all, this was a common occurrence.
Fageni stopped a child who was chasing someone and asked them why they were chasing the little beggar. He wondered if it was a thief, and then locked his eyes on the little beggar. As a result, the children ran away in a hurry.
If it falls, the little beggar will run into the alley if he catches it.
Fageni raised his eyebrows, thinking that the alleys here were too weird, so he activated the equipment effect and enveloped himself in a burst of glow, making him invisible, and followed the little beggar into the alley.
The little beggar ran for a long time without running out of breath. He finally stopped in the middle of the alley, loosened his hands and took a look at the bowl. Fageni, who was following behind quietly but with rapid strides, easily saw a broken bowl.
Exquisite mechanical parts.
After the little beggar looked back to make sure no one was following him, he sat down against the wall and began to disassemble his legs. After tearing open the very realistic fake skin, the silver mechanical legs were revealed in front of Fageni. Then the little beggar disassembled his legs.
I’ve picked up a few unimportant parts and plan to put this new part in there for storage.
Fageni was shocked. Such an exquisite mechanical creation should never appear on this beggar. So he walked behind the little beggar and said slowly in a harmless tone. "Child, what did you just say?
Are the parts stolen?" At the same time, he was also on guard against the little beggar getting up and running away.
The little beggar was startled, and he jumped up with his hands and was about to run away. Fageni caught him with sharp eyes and quick hands. Although the child struggled hard, he was still tightly grasped by Fageni's big hand.
At this time, the little beggar's stomach suddenly growled loudly. The situation became very embarrassing, and he stopped struggling. "Do you want to have a full meal?"
"Of course...as long as you promise to tell the truth." Fageni put him down, still wary of him. "What do you want to eat?"
"Is it OK to cook rice with lingyu?" This is a common fried rice with a strong taste. Alexander has eaten it, but only locals can eat it. At least Fageni is not used to it.
"I want to eat this," Fageni thought for a while. "Put on your legs and follow me. I'll ask you after you finish eating." Then she waited for him to finish and took him to eat.
Then the little beggar took out the part again and finished the fake leather on the legs. "You don't look like a bad person. I can give this to you. Can you control my business from now on?"
"Which one? This part?" Fageni asked. The paint on this part was peeled off and it was black inside.
"The old man called this a mental amplifier. It sounds very powerful, but if I continued to stay, I would be shot. I only stole this and ran out. If those people came to catch me, they would knock me out in the first blow.
"
Fageni frowned, thought for a while but still didn't remind him that the value of this thing is at least higher than being a foodkeeper. "Okay, but you just believe me like that?"
"Either starve to death or be captured. Either way, you will die. It's better to take a gamble. Either way, you will die." The little beggar smiled and looked in a good mood.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's have dinner first and then talk about it." Fageni thought for a while and decided to take him away from this alley where something might happen.
Now that he had made his decision, the little beggar wolfed down a large plate of seafood fried rice while vaguely telling Fageni his story.
The little beggar didn't have his own name. He was probably the son of a businessman, and he dressed like this. When he lost his memory, he was still young and no one cared about him. As time went by, he naturally became a beggar and a habitual thief.
When one day his legs were broken, an old man named Yurkin took him back to the laboratory.
Eugene's laboratory is in a seafood market near the port. In the laboratory, Eugene replaced him with mechanical legs - far more powerful than steam prosthetics. And Eugene promised him that if he helped him steal
Just install a powerful mechanical arm on him.
But one day, he overheard a conversation between Yergin and his assistant, saying that he was going to perform a craniotomy to implant a component.
Naturally, the little beggar would not sit still and wait for death. He stole a part that sounded like it could be sold for money and ran away. Because the little beggar thought that Yergin was related to the nobles, he did not dare to find the guards. Behind him were the children of other people who had been stolen by him before.
