Crescent Harbor is owned by Crescent Town. It faces Feiyu Strait and is backed by Honeymoon Forest.
Honeymoon Forest is the largest elf autonomous territory in the Shengming Empire. The elf king surrendered to Emperor Shengming very early. Emperor Shengming divided it into imperial marquises.
Honeymoon Forest is rich in products, the most famous of which is Moon Spring Water. Drinking this spring water can quickly replenish the magic power in the body. If you drink it for a long time, it can also increase the upper limit of your own magic power reserve.
The elves living in the forest have maintained a large-scale trade with the Shengming Empire all year round. However, Crescent Town does not play the role of a trade hub, even though it is right next to this vast forest.
Caishan Town is responsible for the trade hub. This town is located on a high mountain. The empire invested heavily in building it. The specific location and Crescent Town are just across the Honeymoon Forest.
Caishan Town has a famous imperial airport. Airships, hot air balloons, griffins, and whales come and go all year round. Especially in March and September every year, various flying mounts and tools like birds fly in the sky of Caishan Town.
Circle, take off and land.
Compared with more convenient and better-developed air routes, the competitiveness of Crescent Town's sea routes is too weak.
Crescent Town itself does not have any specialties, but its development also relies on Honeymoon Forest.
But unlike Caishan Town, Crescent Town relies not on trade, but on the annual beast tide in Honeymoon Forest.
Beast tides are both a crisis and an opportunity.
The mercenary union and thieves union have established branches here, and the super mercenary group has set up offices here. The hunting group is a regular visitor here. Sometimes you can see magicians and scholars. In the period before and after the beast tide occurred
Time is the busiest time in Crescent Town.
The Mermaid Tavern is the largest and oldest tavern in Crescent Town.
The reason why it is the largest and oldest is that it is the only tavern in the whole town.
The tavern was noisy and brightly lit.
The bartender was wiping glasses behind the bar.
A male bard sang a song on the stage. The song had a lively rhythm and was filled with a rich tropical style.
At this time, the door of the bar was suddenly pushed open.
Four people rushed in, attracting the attention of many people.
The leader was a human man with a strong build, yellow hair, and a rich and deep bronze aura.
Next came a goblin, covering his face with a black cloth and carrying a long sword behind his back.
Then there was an old man with a wrinkled face, a fat figure, and a pair of huge glasses. His black and white beard was well taken care of.
Finally there was a young man with an ordinary appearance who looked a little nervous.
The four of them passed through the wine tables and went straight to the bar.
The one who spoke was the old man among them. His voice was hoarse, and he first complained: "This damn mountain road."
Then he sat down on the high wooden chair, knocked on the bar table, and asked: "What good wine do you have here?"
The bartender put down the wine glass he was wiping: "Guest, our signature here is bronze apple cider. The material for making wine is taken from a bronze apple tree in the city in the center of the Honeymoon Forest. Guests should know about copper apples, iron apples, silver apples and even
From golden apples, right?”
The old man raised his brows slightly, showing a hint of surprise.
These apples are not ordinary, they are magic plants and contain wonderful magic power. Long-term consumption can allow extraordinary people of the corresponding level to increase their foundation and promote their own strength to grow rapidly. And the more critical role is that when an extraordinary person is in the life
When he is at the peak level, but is temporarily stuck in a bottleneck and cannot break through. Then this extraordinary person can choose to eat higher-level apples to help him break through smoothly.
These magic apples are the most precious foreign trade items in the Honeymoon Forest. As for the moon spring water, it is a sacred object of the elves and is never sold to the public.
The old man smiled: "Then bring me a cup of bronze cider. Everyone else has some beer."
"A cup of bronze cider costs one gold coin. Other beers cost a total of eighteen copper coins." The bartender smiled. He sensed the life breath of ordinary people from the old man's body, and advised, "The old man should try not to drink too much."
The old man directly took out two gold coins from his arms, placed them on the bar, pressed the surface of the gold coins with two fingers, and then slowly pushed them to the bartender: "Tell me something new."
As a result, the bartender understood that the extra money was the information fee paid by the old man.
"If you want to ask about the beast tide, then I have to tell you that you are here early."
"No, no, no." The old man shook his head, "Tell me about the boat."
He lowered his voice slightly and added: "The ship I am referring to is not a merchant ship or a warship."
The bartender's eyes flashed, and he also lowered his voice: "Then you came at a good time. In the past few days, there will be a good opportunity. At least two ships will dock at the dock for a large amount of supplies.
But I don’t know whether these two ships will accept people.”
"Two ships? What are they like?" the old man asked.
"They are a group. I don't know the specific situation, but they are very strong. The captains of the two ships are both silver-level masters. And it is said that there are more than two silver-level extraordinary beings in this pirate group!"
The old man wondered: "Which party is it? Two captains? Is it a small alliance?"
The bartender shook his head: "I'm not sure about that."
The old man took out another gold coin.
But the bartender refused.
This made the old man understand that it was not that the bartender did not want to charge the money, but that this was all he knew.
But the old man still pushed the gold coin directly to the bartender: "I want to get on the boat, is there any way?"
The bartender sighed and shook his head: "There is no way. This is their first stop. But I think you have a good chance. This group of people has experienced a big battle. Although they lost, their opponent was a golden fighter. It is said that they lost a lot of money."
One ship, the loss of lives can be imagined.”
The old man glanced at his three companions, and he immediately understood: the pirate gang the bartender was referring to was the fleet of Knight Boy, Zong Ge and Yi Yiyi.
The old man is none other than Cang Xu.
The other three are Blue Algae, Sandao, and Bai Ya.
Although the knight boy captured 006, he also initially reached cooperation with the empire and obtained a magic contract. But this time, they went to the empire's seaport in person for supplies.
Of course, the young knight will not go directly like this. What if the truth about the Mysterious Island is exposed? What if the empire wants to trap and kill the pirates?
Therefore, the young knight ordered that Cangxu and others should land first to investigate the situation. He himself led the fleet and took the initiative to dock at the unknown island for supplies, giving Cangxu and others time to conduct investigations.
Cang Xu and others took the Deep Sea Monster Fish and arrived at Crescent Port first. They used some means to slightly change their appearance and went to the Mermaid Tavern to inquire about the news.
There is a well-known proverb in the Empire - Wine cannot invent anything, but wine can reveal secrets.
Therefore, taverns have always been a good place to gather information.
After hearing the news that his gang was coming to supply supplies, most of Cang Xu's worries disappeared.
The news has spread, and the probability of the empire setting up a trap to trap and kill them has immediately become much smaller.
Because the reputation of the empire is more important than trapping and killing a few silver-level pirates.
From the information obtained from 006, Cang Xu was very clear: the Shengming Empire had a big plan for the Pirate Throne.
Therefore, the empire will not give up such a big plan just for a few silver pirates.
As for why the news spread?
It's actually very simple.
If the empire wants to provide supplies, it will inevitably involve the mobilization of personnel and materials. And some of the supplies requested by the knight boy include particularly huge artifacts.
These things cannot be hidden.
As long as there are people involved, relevant information will naturally spread.
Of course, just gathering information is not enough. In the next plan, Cang Xu and the others will also visit the dock at night.
But it's not yet late at night.
Cang Xu and others still stayed in the tavern, searching for other information while waiting for the time to come.
The business of the tavern is very good, and customers are constantly coming in.
The Mermaid Tavern is not big, and soon it became noisier and more crowded.
Cang Xu and others had already left the bar and were sitting at a table in the corner.
A tall, thin man with black hair bumped into Cang Xu.
"Feel sorry!"
He raised his hand to signal, turned around and left.
But San Dao suddenly took action, grabbed him at once, and knocked him to the ground with a fierce blow.
The man held his stomach and groaned in pain.
San Dao Shi took out the money bag from his arms and put it in front of Cang Xu's table.
Seeing his money bag, Cang Xu showed a look of astonishment.
"Thief!" Bai Ya shouted.
"I'll do it." Lan Zao stood up, grabbed the man's collar, dragged him all the way to the door of the bar, then opened the door and threw the thief out.
Because of this incident, the noise in the tavern became quieter, but it soon returned to the same level as before.
Cang Xu listened quietly in the corner.
The words of these drinkers often reveal a lot of information.
He got what he wanted and heard the information about his group. After the Pig Kiss disappeared mysteriously, the Knights Templar, the Shengming Sect, and the Hundred Needles Family all sent people to search for a while. After the search was fruitless, the search and rescue team was called off.
The missing person lists for Zhen Jin, Zhu Sha and others have been posted in cities along the coast.
Their portraits are on the list, and a generous bounty is also marked.
Cang Xu was not worried.
This situation had already been expected by him. At the same time, although Zhenjin and Zhusha had come into contact with Yiyihui and others very early on, their appearance had also undergone a certain degree of disguise, and they were quite different from their original appearance.
The most important thing is the Baihe fighting spirit of the knight boy. This kind of fighting spirit is very common, not the Hundred Needles fighting spirit. Therefore, it is difficult for people to associate the two together.
"What a wonderful story!" Bai Ya suddenly sighed.
Cang Xu was stunned for a moment.
Bai Ya pointed at the bard on the tavern stage: "Don't you think the story he recited is wonderful?"
Cang Xu was stunned for a moment. His attention had been focused on the conversations of other drinkers, but he had ignored the music that had always existed.
The bard on the stage played the lyre, and his companion played the recorder.
The poem he recited was in the format of a typical heroic epic. It told the story of several warriors who discovered cultists, brought them to justice, and protected the townspeople.
Cangxu didn't take it seriously at first, but at the end of the poem, the bard revealed the names of these warriors in a tone of praise. They were the mayor, guard captain, church pastor, and even the mayor of this small town.
And the owner of the Mermaid Tavern.
"It turns out this is what really happened." Bai Ya exclaimed.
The surrounding drinkers were not surprised. They had heard this music many times and had long been accustomed to it.
Cang Xu quickly lowered his head to hide his emotion. He heard more information about the cultists, and the end of the music revealed his evil belief - the Charming Blue God!
