"What do you think of this Sarah?" After leaving the tavern, Kalya asked with interest, "In your opinion, what kind of person is she?"
"She should be someone who has her own ideas." Lux thought for a moment and replied, "How should I put it... She gives me a very similar feeling to Camille, but it's different - what do you think?
"
"Remember her well." Kalya did not answer, but changed the topic, "Next, we are going to meet the disaster of the ocean."
"When I think about the hard-earned silver snake coins and golden sea monsters, I have to exchange them for a useless ship emblem. I'm really not willing to do it." Although Lux doesn't care about money, when she thinks about what she will do next,
A large amount of money would go down the drain, and I felt a little uncomfortable, "Do we really want to buy a ship's logo?"
"Of course." Kalya affirmed, "If you don't buy the ship's sign, how will you see Gangplank? How will you know where his treasure house is?"
"Wait, treasure house? What treasure house?" Lux blinked, "Did I miss something?"
"Didn't I tell you?" Kalya pretended to be stupid, "These gold siren and silver snake coins will definitely flow into Gangplank's treasury. As long as we mark them well, when he is finished, the money will return to its original owner.
of!"
"What kind of mark should I make?" Hearing what Kalya said, Lux suddenly became energetic, "But, I can't make a magic mark?"
"This is simple." Kalya was already prepared, "Just leave your exclusive magic mark. I will teach you this..."
Under Kalya's guidance, Lux's magic power quickly flowed through the bag in her hand. When she opened the bag again, the gold and silver coins in the bag became shiny - the old gold coins seemed to have been refurbished.
After polishing, the new gold coin is even more shiny and dazzling.
"Isn't this a little too obvious?" Lux looked at these obviously different gold coins and said with some hesitation, "Is it true that Plank won't notice?"
"It will be fine after a while. It is too shiny because you have injected too much magic power." Kalya explained helplessly, "Lux, your magic control has obviously declined. This is not good!"
Kalja's words made Lux freeze in place. She blinked, as if she wanted to find an excuse to fool her. In morning and evening self-study, Kalja's criticism always meant strengthening practice, and this always meant
Lux's most troublesome course.
Even though it had been three years since she had attended a formal Eight Classics class, when Kalya spoke in this tone, Lux would still subconsciously feel stiff and nervous.
However, this time, Kalya obviously had no intention of continuing to embarrass Lacus. He just mentioned it and changed the topic to other places.
"We're going to see Plank next. Anyway, I hope you can contain your anger."
"Controlling anger is very easy!" Lux waved her hand, showing that there was no problem, "Can you still not believe my acting skills?"
"Remember your promise now." Kalya said in a serious tone, "Even if Gangplank deserves death, you don't need to take action now. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand!"
……………………
Bilgewater is a very interesting port city.
At first, this was just a small bay area, and it was the only area open to outsiders for the Baru people of the Python Islands.
The Baru people have their own civilization, and they do not care about external political power at all. Therefore, Bilgewater has been a refuge for outlaws since its birth.
However, as more and more exiles come to Bilgewater, it is obvious that a small island is not enough to meet their needs.
Bilgewater needs to expand.
But the Baru people are really not easy to mess with, and it is obviously impossible for these desperadoes to occupy the nearby islands. In this case, the Bilgewater people simply took matters into their own hands, using various materials to fill the sea and build land.
Buildings on the land are piling up higher and higher.
Due to the lack of natural building materials, the people of Bilgewater used whatever they had, including statues, stones, and abandoned ships.
After hundreds of years of accumulation, Bilgewater has transformed from a bay into a huge, three-dimensional port.
White Harbor, Rat Town, Slaughterhouse, Butcher's Bridge, Bone Coast...these places were built bit by bit by the people of Bilgewater using all kinds of weird materials.
Gangplank and his Hook Gang occupy Rat Town and Butcher's Bridge. The former is the most prosperous place in Bilgewater and has the most abundant oil and water; the latter is the commanding heights of Bilgewater, and you can stand on it.
Overlooking the entire port.
After explaining that she wanted to buy a ship's emblem, Lux met Gangplank at the Butcher's Bridge - when she was brought to the famous scourge of the sea, he was nibbling an orange.
Planck had a very special way of eating oranges. He did not peel them, but gnawed them raw in his hands. He bit open a whole orange directly, and the juice splashed on his messy beard.
Planck didn't care about this. For him, as long as he wiped his hands on his waist, it was considered clean. As for the beard and so on... who cares?
After doing all this, the disaster of the ocean finally raised his head and looked at Lux.
"You want to buy a ship's mark?"
"That's right, I want to buy a ship's mark - by the way, let's see what kind of person he is, who can seize a huge ship from that Swain."
"Are you good at talking, little girl?" Plank's wrinkled face showed a hint of pride, "How is it, now you can see it?"
"I saw it. He is an eclectic pirate." Lux nodded, "Your men said that you need to handle the ship mark matter personally. So, what's the price?"
"The price is easy to talk about." Plank took out a stick from somewhere and said with a smile, picked it quickly between his teeth, then stuck out his tongue and rolled a piece of orange into his mouth, "What you say,
Five hundred silver snake coins, one ship, one month.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "...I can't afford this price." Planck's offer surprised Lux, "I only have more than 500 Silver Snake coins, and I only want to buy one ship.
I'm afraid the ship's emblem is unacceptable."
"Are you negotiating the price with me?" Plank put away his knife and his pride, and said in a dangerous tone, "Of course I know how much money you have, Miss Shadow - the ship mark that allows you to buy a ship has already been
It’s because of your kindness that you can speak.”
"Okay." Lux thought for a moment, "First come with a ship, a ship's mark for a month, and I will come to you next month."
"..."
Lux's decisiveness surprised Gangplank.
Under normal circumstances, five hundred silver snake coins are enough to pay for a merchant ship's ship for one year - if it is a fishing boat, it can be paid for three years. He never expected that Lux would agree so simply.
.
"Very good, seven hundred then." Plank overturned his previous offer simply and neatly, "It seems that the bounty you received is more than I knew."
Lux didn't speak.
But her hand quietly rested on the hilt of the sword.
"What on earth is this guy thinking?" she asked Kalya, "Even if he is a pirate, he wouldn't just sit there and raise the price, right?"
"Then just refuse." Karya didn't care much about Planck's words. "He obviously has his own purpose and is waiting for us to refuse."
Hearing what Kalya said, Lacus simply shook her head and rejected the offer: "I can't accept it. I can't afford the price of seven hundred silver snake coins."
"That's great." Plank laughed, "So, the generous Ocean Disaster can give you another way - how about working for me?"
"Seven hundred silver snake coins are not enough to make me work for you."
"What about adding your own life?" Gangplank quickly pulled out his machete, "Miss Shadow... I've wanted to meet you for a long time - make money from my territory to buy ship signs.
, this is the first time I’ve seen someone with such courage!”
