Chapter 299 The great writer

Senjo's assassination of the owner of the "Naganoya Geisha House" in the pirate city will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

After all, he is one of the gangsters of Pirate City.

That "Ghost Sword" Aki himself is not weak, not to mention that he represents the country of Hidden Mountain.

Su Lun also guessed that this was probably the reason why Qian Jiao didn't want to get involved.

There may even be more complex situations involved.

Su Lun previously learned a secret from the soul of "One-Eyed" Shuok: "Old Rune Man" was not a native of Shanyin, but a defector from Luying.

This is where the problem lies.

Why would an outsider become a more powerful figure than the daimyo of Shanyin Country?

Official geishas like the Geisha House are run by the son of an old man, which makes people very confused. The hidden secret is probably the reason why Geisha Koike avoids talking about it.

A battle suddenly broke out in the geisha hall, and a large number of samurai warriors from the Yamagakure Kingdom poured into the hall...

Unfortunately, the battlefield was moved before the people arrived. The warriors searched everywhere but couldn't find anyone, so naturally they had no choice but to leave the matter alone.

But with such a fuss, tea art, sword dance and so on, naturally I can't continue watching.

Mama Sang, the brothel owner, was also very considerate and exempted all the customers from spending money.

But Su Lun still gave Xiaochi the money he should have given as a tip.

The geishas of Shanyin Kingdom have good food and accommodation, but their fate is not so good.

Not long after, Xiaochi stepped on wooden clogs and escorted Su Lun out of the geisha house.

The two said goodbye in the cherry blossom forest.

She looked at Su Lun, with a gentle smile on her face, and asked politely: "Sir, will you come again next time?"

[This is a book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years! It is so easy to use. I rely on it to pass the time while driving and before going to bed by reading and listening to books. You can download it here]

Look at that expression, so sincere and sincere, that people might not be able to bear to say the word "no".

Su Lun smiled and thought it would be good to come and sit down when he had time in the future, so he responded: "Come back when I have the opportunity."

"Um."

Xiaochi nodded and said no more.

Retention is about giving people thoughts, not burdens. Just the right amount is the best.

She thought of something and smiled, "Xiaochi has never met a special person like Mr."

Su Lun couldn't detect the slightest hint of hypocrisy and responded with a polite smile, "It's also very pleasant to get along with Miss Xiaoike."

Hearing this, Xiaochi had a happy smile on his face, and he knelt down and saluted, "Sir, this is the best compliment I have ever heard."

Seeing Su Lun about to leave, she pondered for a moment, her expression showed a hint of shyness, and her tone became a little less smooth for the first time tonight, "If you, sir, want to stay overnight, you can."

"Forget it today."

Su Lun raised his eyebrows and smiled, and then realized that the other party's ability to observe words and expressions really saw the difference in him.

It's not that I'm having a good time, I just didn't want to make it too special.

How can a little pirate be qualified to stay in a geisha house?

It's always a good idea to be careful.

Hearing this, Xiaochi didn't say much, a flash of regret flashed in his eyes, and he bowed to greet him: "Sir, go slowly."

Su Lun walked out of the geisha house refreshed and refreshed, as if he had taken a bath for his spirit, washing away all the worries accumulated during these days of wandering at sea.

He walked on the streets of Pirate City again.

The Walled City has a large area, with winding and deep streets, and the bustling entertainment venues can be visited in ten and a half days. There are also small islands and floating buildings around, each with their own characteristics. This is the development of the entertainment industry to the extreme. The place.

If there were not children rummaging for food in the trash cans on the street, thin and thin beggars with no clothes on, and the stinking corpses of pirates in the alleys, such a lively scene as Hastlin, even Luying would be the most prosperous place. The territory is nothing more than this.

Su Lun walked leisurely in the city. He wanted to get familiar with the roads in the entire city.

Thinking that if there is an emergency, I can run faster.

I have peeled off some memories before and walked through it again, and I am almost familiar with it.

About an hour later, I received a message from Qian Tiao.

The gambling-addicted young woman still did not elaborate on what she was doing, but she revealed her plan to go to the Hidden Mountain Country.

Su Lun guessed a few things, but she didn't say anything or ask any more questions.

It sounds like she's fine

After staying on the boat for a long time, Su Lun didn't feel sleepy, so he walked around the city for a while.

When we walked to the casino street, we met fellow pirates on the same boat.

Those guys had just come out from Fengyue Casino, and they still had some money in their hands, so they planned to gamble.

He said he was going to the arena, and Su Lun followed him.

Each of the four countries in Hokkaido has its own characteristics.

Just like the geisha house is a specialty of Yamagakure country, gladiators are a specialty of Roman kingdom.

In that country, everyone is warlike. They believe in the "God of War" and various gods that represent strength and bravery. Everyone has a fighting gene flowing in their blood, and people regard the arena as a place where they die in battle. Rong. It is said that there are many stone carvings of combat techniques left over from ancient times in that country. Even monkeys are proficient in various combat techniques after observing them for a long time.

Because of this tradition, the Roman Empire was also the strongest gladiator training base and exported a large number of gladiators. Even many slave merchants from the two empires specially sent people for training.

The Lolotas around Senjo were slave gladiators who were trained at the Roman Arena and went to Lu Ying to perform for the nobles.

Su Lun watched several gladiator matches and saw real gladiators.

Although the gods believed by Roman's god believers seemed to have fallen, certain mysterious power systems were passed down. This also allowed those gladiators to have physical combat power comparable to that of Warcraft even if they did not follow the alchemy system.

A group of people stayed in the arena until midnight, winning and losing.

Those who win money go to the bathhouse and spend the rest of the night happily; those who lose everything go back to the boat at the pier in despair and sleep in the cabin.

Su Lun's luck is good or bad, and he doesn't win or lose much.

After taking a half-month boat ride, he didn't want to spend the night in a cramped and smelly cabin. So he found a hotel in the city and had a good sleep.

The next day, the weather was nice.

Su Lun opened his eyes from meditation.

Outside the hotel window, you can have an unobstructed view of the pirate city, the sea breeze blows gently, the island scenery is beautiful, the blue waves are rippling, the scenery is really good.

But during the day, the Golden City is like a beautiful woman with the filter turned off. Although she still looks good, she doesn't have that radiant feeling after all.

It's another plain and simple day as a pirate.

Rich pirates would sleep through the day, or go to taverns 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 are only open during the day.

Su Lun now knows that a large amount of Marfa machinery and equipment and things from Old Lington have flowed into the Pirate City. He plans to go to those boutique shops to check if he can find some. By the way, he will go and see if there are other good goods.

, there is never a shortage of good things in the Pirate City.

Su Lun followed the direction in his memory, walked through several covered bridges, and then took a simple cable car to a stalagmite pirate ship next to the Golden City.

This is called "Colorful Conch City".

This place is a bit like the underground black market in Old Town. All the buildings are stilted buildings supported by wooden sticks on the rock wall. The roofs are colorful, like colorful mushrooms growing on the stones.

The black market Su Lun went to yesterday was a bulk trading market, so this place is a bit like a flea market.

There are street stalls and shops selling all kinds of strange and weird things.

There are also boutique shops selling high-end alchemy items. Most of the high-quality items salvaged from the seabed, excavated from ruins, and looted are gathered in this market.

As long as you have money, you can always find something you are satisfied with.

Most of the people wandering around the pirate market during the day are professional pirate merchants.

Not even pirates, but middlemen in some gray 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 Lu Ying royal family's spy group, the chamber of commerce pirate group that suppresses competitors, and the adventure groups funded by nobles

Therefore, we have been fighting 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 from shop to shop and was really surprised.

Not only did he find some finished mechanical products, he even found a lot of laboratory-level research instruments!

The pirates are all appropriators and have almost no ability to engage in research and development. To them, these high-precision instruments are no more than scrap metal. They are just commodities that eat dust in the shop. Su Lun bought them at a very good price.

These are real treasures that money cannot buy.

Fortunately, it was not too late for him to return to the Pirate City. In another year and a half, those things would most likely flow into the two empires.

When I buy something, I don’t have enough money.

Su Lun also sold several batches of trophies he had collected before. Although the price was a little lower, it was still worth it to exchange for some urgently needed things.

Su Lun wandered around and came to a shop called "Three Torii".

This is a small specialty shop of Shanyin Country, selling swords, samurai Kai and some strange things.

The Qingyu doll hanging at the door was dangling. Su Lun took a look at it and walked in.

The shop owner is a middle-aged man wearing a kimono. He has the signature politeness of a Yamagakure native. When he meets a customer, he bows politely and says, "Welcome to the shop."

Su Lun nodded and looked at the products displayed in the window.

Shanyin Country produces famous swords, and there are a large number of swords displayed 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 [Sandai Valley], a work of the blacksmith master Mr. Kurosawa. It is a rare and good knife."

They are all good things, but it is a pity that Su Lun is not a swordsman, so this thing is of no use to him.

If used on a puppet, it would be a bit useless if it is not good, and too luxurious if it is good.

He thought of the "Chrysanthemum Pattern Shrine Ishou" he saw yesterday, and asked casually: "Are there any twelve good craftsmen and famous swords?"

The middle-aged boss said with a smile: "Sir, you are joking. Of course there is no such famous knife shop. It can be said that there is no shop in any shop."

He looked at Su Lun who didn't look like he was joking, and then smiled and said: "It seems that the guests have very high requirements for weapons. It's a pity. As far as I know, there are only four of the Twelve Good Swords in the world, and they are all It was in the hands of very powerful swordsmen.”

Su Lun shrugged noncommittally, thinking that if he could afford it, buy one as a gift to Qian Tiao?

The gambling-addicted young woman takes good care of herself, so she should give her 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, with many old items in the display window.

The armor of Yamagakushi Admiral Hattori who died in battle;

A black jar with a sealed bottle, said to be made by a witch [chewing wine];

The [Tengu Mask] is said to be able to summon monsters, and the talisman used to evade all ghosts

The items were all good. Su Lun appraised them and found that most of them had some special effects.

However, for Su Lun, it is 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 story about monsters in the past hundred years is "Fairy Story" by the great writer Fujiwara Hayato. It just so happens that I have collected several volumes of his manuscripts here. I'll show them to you. one time?"

Su Lun nodded.

Monsters are rampant in Shanyin Country. They are different from World of Warcraft and aberrations. They are very special existences.

He was really interested to know.

The middle-aged boss was rummaging through the shelves, but at this moment, the wind chime rang outside the door, and several more customers came in.

Su Lun felt 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 room. They were all wearing cloaks and couldn't see their faces.

No matter how you look at this configuration, it feels like a big shot is traveling, a guard and a master.

Moreover, in Su Lun's perception, the soul fire of these people was elusive and unpredictable.

If it weren't for the interference of high-level cursed objects, it would be ridiculously strong.

No matter which one it is, it doesn't look like it's easy to mess with.

"Where did these people come from? If they were big pirates, there would be no need to hide their heads and tails like this."

Su Lun muttered in his heart, but did not show any abnormality, just like an ordinary customer, watching in front of the window.

"Boss, do you have Gustav's documents here?"

The person who spoke looked like an old lady, and her tone of voice was kind.

The middle-aged boss asked doubtfully: "Gustave?"

The old lady said: "Maybe it's another name, 'Fujiwara Hayato'."

The middle-aged boss said: "Oh, of course there is. I just want to show it to the customer. This shop is probably the shop that collects the most manuscripts from 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 them all."

The middle-aged man looked a little embarrassed. He looked at Su Lun and asked, "Sir, what do you think? After all, you are the one who wants to see it first."

Su Lun glanced at it with an uninterested look on his face, "Of course I don't mind."

Those manuscripts were identified as "ordinary manuscripts" and had no special effects, so there was no need to buy the original version.

For Su Lun who just wants to understand the customs of Shanyin, a transcript is enough.

Moreover, the things of this great writer are extremely expensive, almost as expensive as "Isaac's Alchemy Manuscript".

After hearing the price, Su Lun would definitely not waste the money.

But the old lady didn't bargain at all and spent nearly 10 million liso to buy those manuscripts.

This group of people bought something and asked a few questions about the great writer "Fujiwara Hayato". After finding nothing else, they left.

The shop became deserted again.

Su Lun was still in front of the counter, guessing in his mind: "Did you buy it for collection? Why does he feel like a big noble?"

Some people can tell her self-cultivation just by her tone of voice.

Although the old lady didn't say much just now, Su Lun could tell that this person's background was definitely not simple. Besides, someone who could spend such a large sum of money to buy a few manuscripts shouldn't be a pirate.

Moreover, Su Lun didn't know if it was an illusion. When those people left just now, the person accompanying the old lady seemed to have glanced at him one more time?

Su Lun spent most of the day shopping in Conch City and gained a lot.

He returned to the Golden Walled City. With good luck, he had collected all the materials he had ordered at "Aunt Tang's Magic Materials Shop" last night.

After paying the final payment, I received the materials for 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, he happened to pass by a shop that had an impression in his memory. The small room with the sign "Poseidon Divination Shop".

There lives a witch who can do divination and is also one of the most well-informed intelligence traders in the Pirate City.

Su Lun opened the magical isolation curtain, and various sealing formations were everywhere in the room.

The magic lamp is very gray and dim, and you can see a dark-skinned woman playing with tarot cards and using chess cards to divine fortunes there. She has fish scales on her face and is said to be a mixture of humans and fish-men. The pirates call her "Black Beauty"

Amarys.

As soon as Su Lun entered, she said in a deep voice: "The divination told me that a very special guest will come today."

Su Lun didn't listen. It was a professional term, and everyone used it.

He said directly: "I need to inquire about some information."

Amalise knew as soon as she heard that someone knowledgeable was coming, and did not continue her deceptive tactics.

"Ever heard of the 'Cyclops'?"

"Have you ever heard of a kind of Holy Grail? It is spread from the demihuman tribe."

“Have you ever heard of the Pirate King’s ‘Black Sam’s Cursed Gold Coin’?”

"I want to find some space materials to upgrade. Do you have any recommendations?"

""

Su Lun told him all the information he wanted to know, and none of it was sensitive information.

I originally thought of casting a wide net and it didn't matter if I could find out.

But I didn’t expect that this black beauty really knows a lot!

Amarys said directly: "In the legend of our sea tribe, the Cyclops exists on an island deep in the Western Sea. However, it is not a place where humans can set foot. Only great adventurers who are not afraid of wind and waves can make it.

Get a glimpse of the true appearance of that mythical race. As for the 'Black Sam's Cursed Gold Coin', I think you may have to ask someone, and he happens to have one in his hand. As for space materials, I heard that someone has a supply in the black market.

.If necessary, I can help you ask, but the price may be a bit high."

When Su Lun heard this, he felt happy.

Sure enough, professional things must be left to professionals!

These intelligence merchants have a lot of surprising information in their hands.

Even the Luying official has a "rat warehouse" to sell military supplies, let alone pirates? As long as there is a profit, there will definitely be people who resell the "space farming equipment"!

Before Su Lun came to the Pirate City, he guessed that there would be information about the "Void Colonization Equipment" here.

When I asked, it turned out to be true.

After a conversation, Su Lun spent two hundred thousand to get the information he wanted from this black beauty.

As for the Void Colonization Equipment, after hearing the exaggerated quotation, he stopped asking.

Now that the news has leaked out, the news will become less and less valuable.

Pirate City said it was big, very big.

But to say small, it is also very small.

For example, there are only a few large markets for selling materials.

It was a coincidence that Su Lun was still inquiring about information in the divination shop when suddenly the sound of fighting came from the black market.

Originally, it was normal for pirates to fight among themselves, but this time when Su Lun went out to watch the excitement, he discovered that one of the parties involved in the fight was actually an acquaintance.

The guy with a broken arm turned out to be "Beast" Alec Barrett, the commander of Lu Ying's Holy Judgment Legion whom he had seen in the Cursed Valley before!

"Why did this guy come to Pirate City?"

Su Lun was also surprised when he saw the scratches on Barrett's military rank.

That's a sign of defection.
