"That's right, little brother, have you noticed that the business at the port where we took the ship was extremely booming? No matter the delivery people or the shippers, they would rather wait for half a month than go to other docks?
"
The young man thought for a while, the western coast is so vast, and there are definitely many ports and piers. But the strange thing is that after he inquired all the way, everyone suggested that he go to this pier, while the other piers only dealt with local business in the west, so he seriously
nodded.
"That's because this port is the only port in the Western Continent recognized by Lord Lotus, the Eighth Apostle, and they are the only ones who have signed a safe route agreement with the Lord Apostle!"
The young man was a little confused and frowned slightly.
The middle-aged man continued to explain:
"Actually, all the sea areas in our continent of Rhea are under the control of the Eighth Apostle, oh, that is, Lord Long-foot Rost. Only the ports recognized by the Lord are qualified to sail long distances on the sea. Naturally
You will also be protected by Lord Lotus."
The young man nodded thoughtfully and asked:
"Brother, do you mean that if our ship has an accident at sea, the apostle will come back to save us?"
"Hahaha, little brother is really smart."
The middle-aged man patted the purple-haired young man on the shoulder and nodded with satisfaction.
The young man grinned, maybe thinking of something, and asked another question:
"Brother, there have never been any accidents while traveling on the sea?"
The middle-aged man's face became pious:
"That's not true. Although there are more or less incidents of ship disappearances every year, we all believe that they offended the apostle, so we deserved the punishment. Hehe, don't do anything to the apostle.
Sir, it's disrespectful to speak out, otherwise the sea will punish us."
The young man smiled and nodded, looked back at the calm and gentle sea, and murmured to himself:
"Yes, who would have thought that such a beautiful sea can be so ferocious and terrifying when it gets angry."
"Okay, I'm going to see my goods. Little brother, my name is Kit. If you go to the slums in the northern part of Brooklyn, remember to find me. If nothing else, the daily routine is enough.
"
The middle-aged man waved goodbye to the young man with a smile, his face full of sadness.
Looking at the generous back of the middle-aged man, the young man felt a little emotional in his heart. These ordinary people had almost blind worship for the apostle's piety.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and then, a young man wearing a thin and dirty vest squeezed through the gap in the crowd and shouted to the young man with an anxious look:
"Brother Lingfei, it's bad, your sister is being bullied!"
The young man's expression became strange. He held his forehead speechlessly with one hand, and said in a low voice, "Being bullied? I'm afraid she's bullying someone. This girl just loves to cause trouble..."
Jim said anxiously:
"Brother Lingfei, go quickly. There are five big men bullying Momo this time. If you go late, it will be too late."
The young man's calm expression suddenly condensed, and he asked in a cold voice:
"Jim, where is she?"
The young man panted and said:
"On the... stern deck of the ship, at Ross the Gambler's place."
When the young man raised his head and wanted to say a few words, there was no one in front of him. Young Jim stared blankly at the empty deck, suddenly clenched his fists excitedly, his eyes were filled with little stars, and he whispered excitedly:
"Brother Lingfei is indeed a master. I must worship him as my teacher."
After saying that, the young man no longer cared about his fatigue, turned his head and slipped into the crowd, disappearing.
………………
"Hey, little girl, what's wrong? You just want to leave after winning money? That's not okay."
A strange voice sounded in the crowd.
People's eyes immediately focused, but when everyone saw the person's face clearly, some people subconsciously looked away. People's eyes immediately focused, but when everyone saw the person's face clearly,
Subconsciously, some people looked away.
I saw a man with a mohawk and a sharp mouth, leading four gangsters, surrounded by a bright-eyed and white-toothed girl with a sneer on his face.
The girl had long red hair, wore orange leather short sleeves, had a big wrench on her waist, and held two strange little beasts in her arms. She stood among five men with ferocious faces, and she was not afraid at all.
The girl said rather disdainfully:
"Then you didn't say you can't leave even if you win? I won your money openly, and everyone around me can testify to that."
But when she looked at the people around her, she found that everyone was avoiding her eyes.
The mohawk man glanced at the performance of the crowd, then pointed at the girl with a sneer, looked at everyone and asked:
"Hey, let me tell you, this little girl said he had a witness. Did any of you see it with your own eyes? Come on, stand up for me!"
There was silence all around, and as expected, no one stood up.
The girl's face turned ugly, and she pursed her lips unconsciously.
The mohawk man looked around with contempt, and then said condescendingly:
"Look, there is no witness in the little girl's video. Hahaha"
"Then... what do you want to do? I'll give you the money back..."
The girl asked nervously.
"Hmph, you think we are just playing house when we open the casino. Of course you have to return the money to us, but you have to pay some interest. After all, we have played with you for so long, haven't we?"
The giant man next to him snorted coldly and took a step forward with his belly puffed out, the pressure became even heavier.
"I have no money..."
The girl's voice became smaller and smaller, as thin as a mosquito or a fly.
The mohawk man deliberately put his hands to his ears and said exaggeratedly:
"What!? You have no money! That doesn't matter, you can compensate us with other things."
As he said that, the little pair of thieves glanced back and forth at the two little beasts.
Someone in the crowd started to murmur.
"It seems that Ross is eyeing this little girl's pet..."
"No, those little beasts are cute and cute. You can tell they are top quality at a glance. The big aristocrats in Brooklyn like this rare breed. I guess that's what Ross went for."
"Shh, keep your voice down. Ross is not a good guy. If he hears it, we will be in trouble."
Ross didn't care about the eyes of others at all. He just stared at the girl. He knew that as long as she was scared, the two cherished little beasts would naturally be obtained. After getting off the boat, he would contact the local snake Minters, and he would be sure
It can be sold for a big price.
Thinking of this, Rose's heart became alive and the smile on his face became even brighter.
Unexpectedly, when the other party asked for a pet to pay off the debt, the girl's nervousness disappeared. Not only that, she also became tougher.
