I bought a batch of precision maps, which was an unexpected gain.
Su Lun wandered around the flea market, but couldn't find anything he liked, so he returned to the Golden Walled City.
After buying the materials, he still needed to get some information.
For example, there is news about the Cyclops, the whereabouts of the Daru tribe’s holy relic [Farr’s Holy Grail] and the last [Black Sam’s Curse Gold Coin]
Because Oleg became king, the situation in Beihai changed drastically, and neutral organizations such as the "Adventurers Guild", "Professional Guild", and "Alchemy Guild" also came over.
There are many more intelligence dealers, and it is much easier to inquire about information.
Things that can be done with money can always save a lot of effort.
Su Lun placed bounties on major trade unions, and then went to a tavern to wait for the news.
The "Blacksmith Tavern" is a low-end pirate tavern in the city and is also a pirate talent market.
There are often a group of sailors, cooks, gunners, experienced sailors, or newbies without a fixed owner.
Pirate captains often come to pick people.
Suellen sat by the window, ordered a glass of rum and drank it slowly.
"It's strange, no one is interested in that gold coin?"
Su Lun has just received the news that the last [Black Sam's Curse Gold Coin] is in the hands of a man named "Gurlin Tani".
In fact, he had heard about this news before going to Shanyin, but at that time, "Tani" seemed to have gone to sea and was not in the walled city... Now it is said that he is back and likes to hang out in pirate taverns.
Su Lun came to try his luck.
But what he was even more curious about was that this news didn't seem to be a secret, and many intelligence dealers in the Pirate City knew it.
But since we knew that the gold coin was in "Tani"'s hands, why didn't anyone pay attention?
The Pirate King's treasure is so unattractive?
The intelligence merchant just said that the gold coin was cursed and no one wanted to touch it.
Su Lun also wondered, what kind of curse could block human greed?
While he was thinking about it, he drank and listened to the pirates in the tavern bragging about spanking.
These sailors travel all over the country and are quite knowledgeable about the news. Most of the things they talk about are the recent events in the pirate city.
And that marriage.
"Boss Gar has made a lot of money this time. He married Skadi, the thirteenth princess of Marfa, "Princess Frost Moon". She is a real royal family."
"Oh, I was lucky enough to see the princess from a distance during the previous wedding ceremony. Oh my god, you don't know, she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life. Her skin is as smooth as the moon, and her breasts are as big as cows.
"
"I heard someone say that the "Princess of Frost Moon" doesn't have a very good reputation in the Marfa Empire. She said that in her society, lovers can line up from the palace to the city gate."
"Haha, I don't know what it's like to be a princess. Her delicate figure may not be able to withstand the majesty of Boss Gar."
""
The pirates were most interested in the romantic affairs of the upper class, and most of the topics they talked about were about the princess's coquettish beauty.
Su Lun also listened with great interest.
Although most of it was hearsay, he also felt that there might be some truth to it.
If she marries from afar and comes to Beihai for marriage, then the princess is probably not the daughter who is loved by the emperor.
Or an ambitious conspirator?
Suellen didn't care anyway.
Because it has nothing to do with him.
At this time, a one-eyed dragon wearing a pirate uniform and a pirate captain's uniform walked in.
Many of the pirates in the tavern seemed to know him and started to say hello.
"Hey, Captain CJ, are you here to recruit sailors again?"
"Captain CJ, I heard that your group found the 'Bartholomew Treasure Map'. Did you find the treasure this time when you went on a treasure hunt?"
"Forget it, the treasure was found, but the manpower was also heavily damaged. Not much money was brought back, and the ship sank in the storm."
"Hahaha, I knew you would definitely encounter a storm. Knowing that that boy Tani is the 'unlucky guy cursed by the sea', why do you want to go with that boy?"
"Although that kid is a bad guy, you have to admit that he may be the best navigator in the entire pirate city. If we don't look for him, we won't be able to find it in that sea area, let alone the treasure. Hey, don't say it, I want to recruit a group of people to salvage my sunken ship full of treasures. You know, it's worth at least several hundred million. Are you interested?"
"Of course! Count me in!"
""
For a time, the pirates' tavern became lively.
It was originally a normal chat, but when Su Lun heard the name "Tani" from their conversation, her ears suddenly pricked up.
After listening carefully, he realized that this "Tani" did not have the same name, but was probably the person holding the third [Black Sam's Curse Gold Coin].
Only then did Su Lun realize that the guy who went sailing was going treasure hunting with this person?
Moreover, he also captured several keywords: the best navigator, the unlucky man cursed by the sea, storm
"It's interesting. What's so magical about Tani? What these people mean is that when he goes to sea, he will definitely encounter a storm?"
Su Lun also felt amazing when he listened to the captain's story.
Su Lun stayed in the tavern for two or three hours and was almost done drinking.
He originally thought about coming back another day, but when he was leaving, a messenger came to the door.
He was a man wearing a very tattered sailor suit with the brim of his hat pulled down very low.
The man did not attract the attention of others. He saw the sign on Su Lun's seat, walked over and said directly: "Sir, I see that you are offering a reward for information about the 'Cyclops' and [Farr's Holy Grail]?"
"Oh? Do you have information?"
Su Lun listened, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
Even though he was disguised, he immediately recognized the soul fire of the man in front of him.
Isn't it the same person who sold his map at the flea market before?
What a coincidence, this guy still knows the information he wants?
The mysterious man said: "The price of your reward is one hundred thousand liso."
Su Lun also knew his business, so he took out a wad of cash and said, "This is the deposit. If the information is correct, the money is yours."
Pirate trading also has pirate rules. Everyone knows the rules, so there will be almost no problems. Trading in the tavern itself is a layer of protection, and it will not be good for anyone if it gets into trouble.
Su Lun is not worried about being taken away from the money and not doing anything.
The mysterious man accepted the money and said directly: "[Far's Holy Grail] last appeared thirty-five years ago, when it was in the hands of Marquis Hayes. That cup is a sacred object of the Daru tribe. Legend has it that a cup of holy water will be condensed every once in a while, which can cure 'karma' and many diseases."
""
When Su Lun heard this, his face was expressionless, but he was really surprised.
He had been asking for so long but there was no news, yet he never expected that someone would give him such accurate information!
Both the efficacy and origin of the Holy Grail are completely accurate, so the rest is probably not fabricated.
He asked: "Do you know where the Holy Grail is now?"
The mysterious man said: "You have to pay the balance."
Suellen gave another eighty thousand.
The man continued: "'Marquis Hayes' carried the Holy Grail with him wherever he went. But during a voyage, his fleet met the pirate king Sam Bellamy. So, in the end,
The Holy Grail fell into the hands of the Pirate King."
Su Lun listened to this story and said: "You mean to say that the Holy Grail finally sank into the sea together with Black Sam's fleet."
The mysterious man affirmed: "Yes."
""
Su Lun frowned as he heard this.
It's a good thing to have the whereabouts of the Holy Grail. With that thing, he has both mental and physical distortions.
But this whereabouts is a bit embarrassing.
On the pirate king's ship, sank into the sea?
Su Lun frowned and asked, "Can I know where you got the information from?"
The mysterious man said: "I'm sorry, I have my own source of information. But I can swear to the 'Ocean God' that the information is absolutely fine."
For people who walk on the sea all year round, this is a "poisonous oath".
Su Lun listened, pondered for a moment, and didn't ask any more questions.
This statement is also reliable.
What's more, now that the whereabouts of the third gold coin are known, he will soon know the location of the sunken ship, so it is not completely hopeless.
Su Lun asked again: "So, do you also know the information about the 'Cyclops'?"
He felt that the guy in front of him seemed to be able to bring him a surprise.
The mysterious man said simply: "I know!"
He watched Su Lun give the money quickly without any ink, and directly quoted: "The reward you are offering for this information is 50,000 yuan, which is generally worth this price. But if you need it, I can give you a detailed navigation chart! It's just that
price"
""
Su Lun was really shocked when he heard this.
He had inquired before about the "legend" that there were Cyclops on the islands in the dangerous waters of the west, but no one had ever been there, and there was no chart.
This guy actually said, can he provide detailed navigation charts?
Where does this guy come from?
Su Lun said solemnly: "If there is a detailed chart, I will give you 100,000!"
After hearing this, the mysterious man was silent for a moment, seeming to hesitate.
After thinking about it, he said: "Okay!"
As he said that, Su Lun looked at a roll of nautical charts wrapped in a leather jacket and handed it to him. His mood at the moment was indescribably complicated.
This guy actually carries it with him?
Su Lun opened the leather case, spread out the sheepskin map and took a look, murmuring in his heart: It is indeed so.
One look at the neat handwriting and exquisite patterns on it, isn't it the same one I bought before?
Now he was almost certain that this map was drawn by the guy in front of him, or someone around him.
The map is very detailed, marking a route to an island in the far west.
Ocean currents, wind direction, marine animal divisions, temperature, and reef areas are all available.
Because the details were so mind-boggling, Su Lun couldn't move his eyes away.
Without going there in person, it would be impossible to draw such a detailed map.
Seeing Su Lun looking at the map fascinated, the mysterious man reminded him: "Sir, it's time for you to pay."
Being reminded by this, Su Lun raised his eyebrows, took out a bag of money, and at the same time tried: "I am very satisfied with your information. I think we can establish a long-term relationship."
The mysterious man counted the money, but rejected the proposal, saying: "If you need it, you can hang a reward. I saw it and will contact you."
Just like selling the map before, after the transaction was completed, he quickly left the tavern.
Su Lun looked at it with a sharp look. This guy was like a "treasure". The more he came into contact with him, the more surprises he would get.
He would not give up this kind of thing. Before he got up, the black crow outside the house followed him.
But it didn't take long for the black crow to follow, before Su Lun let out a soft cry: "Hey, you are so careful."
Although I don't know how the boy found it, when he walked into an alley, the black crow was smashed into pieces by a beam of light.
“Very interesting magic equipment”
Su Lun saw the last picture shared by Black Crow. The guy seemed to have used a very strange device to fire a "laser" to kill Black Crow.
I found out all the information I needed to know at once, and I gained a lot.
The interest in drinking was gone, so Su Lun walked out of the tavern.
He planned to go shopping on the street.
The "Tani" market is mixed in the pub area, but I'm not sure which one it is.
Teabeard Tavern, Windmill Tavern, Giant Tavern, Blue Whale Tavern
The streets are full of drinkers, and charming girls are waiting at the door to welcome guests.
Su Lun strolled down the street and asked around, but no one saw him.
Unconsciously, I have reached the upper level, which is already a high-end pub area.
The Golden Walled City is said to be big, very big.
To say small, it is also very small.
There are only a few streets in the pub district.
Suddenly, Su Lun suddenly recognized a familiar "soul fire" in his soul perception.
Several half-grown boys blocked a brown-haired boy in ragged clothes, as if they were committing violence.
"Unfortunate Tani, I heard that you went to sea again and sank five large ships of the "Rhino Regiment"? Killed hundreds of people?"
"Jessica, don't get too close to that guy, he's an unlucky guy."
"That's it, don't let bad luck bring us all down."
"Bah! Let's go, Jessica, Tucker, leave him alone. This guy is a monster, be careful he bites your ear."
"Haha, a bastard born from a sea monster! Bah!"
""
After a few teenagers quenched their voices, they dispersed in a hurry.
The brown-haired boy kept silent and watched the person leave before silently turning around and going elsewhere.
When Su Lun saw this, he no longer knew how to describe his complicated feelings.
Is he "Tani"?
In one day, I saw the same person three times, three times in different scenes, three different costumes, and three identities.
The key is that they all aroused Su Lun's strong interest.
