The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and there are only a few pedestrians on the road. Even if there are a few passers-by, they are all holding umbrellas and hurriedly walking with their heads lowered. As for the transportation in the waterways, there are very few people. Who would like to carry such a heavy burden?
How about riding Blue through the waterways in heavy rain?
Seven Tulips Family Hotel, Central Street, Seven Waters City.
Haoxue and others were sitting in the hall, waiting for Victor.
"Old man, is it really okay?" Perona asked Haoxue a little impatiently: "My brother still hasn't come back after so long."
"I have contacted him using the phone bug and told him the specific address of the hotel. Don't worry." Haoxue crossed his arms and said calmly. He was very confident in Victor's strength and was not worried that he would be unable to defeat him.
of enemies.
At this time, the hotel door was pushed open. Accompanied by the sudden increase in the sound of wind and rain, Victor, dressed in a black suit and a black bowler hat, walked into the hotel lobby.
"Wow! It's raining so hard!" Victor was soaked all over and sat down on the wooden stool in front of the bar: "Give me a cup of hot coffee quickly, it's so cold!"
Wu Hongji and Robin brought blankets and hot coffee respectively.
Victor wrapped himself in a blanket and took a sip of hot coffee, finally feeling relieved: "The rain in this season is still a bit cold."
At this time, he noticed Haoxue's questioning gaze and nodded slightly.
Matthew took out a pot of hot soup from the kitchen behind the bar and said with a smile: "It just happened. I borrowed the kitchen from the hotel owner and cooked a pot of hot soup for him."
"Thank you, Matthew." Victor scooped out a small bowl of hot soup, blew in the hot air and drank it slowly.
Perona looked at the rain outside the window: "Brother, this rain is expected to last for at least 4 hours."
"Well... let's have dinner at the hotel." Victor took a sip of hot soup and squinted his eyes in comfort: "Have a rest for the night and visit Mr. Tom tomorrow."
"I'm sorry, guest, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation." The innkeeper who was cleaning the cups said curiously: "But, which Mr. Tom are you going to visit? Is it the fish-man Tom?"
"What are you doing!? Can't fishmen do it?" Perona crossed her waist and got angry: "We are fans of Mr. Tom, and we came to him specifically to repair the boat! Is there a problem!?"
"Little lady, don't be angry!" The fat hotel owner waved his hand hurriedly: "I am not a racist! On the contrary, I like the people at Tom's Studio very much! Except for that little pervert!
"
Haoxue laughed loudly: "Little pervert? You must be talking about 'Franky', right? Ha! Ha! Ha! He really deserves this title!"
"If you want to find Mr. Tom, then ask the right person!" The innkeeper gestured towards the south: "There is a large garbage disposal site on the northeast coast of the back street of the City of Seven Waters, and there is a bridge nearby.
There is a warehouse under the bridge, and the headquarters of Tom's studio is there. If you want to visit Tom, then you are right to go to the warehouse under the bridge to find him! If you go to him, don't forget to ask him for an autograph for me~"
"Uncle, you like Mr. Tom very much." Wu Hongji said with a smile.
"That's natural! Little girl, you don't know what the City of Seven Waters looked like more than ten years ago. At that time, the pirate king Goldo Roger had just been executed, and pirates became more and more rampant. By yú dà hǎi Xiao' Akula
·The flood caused by Ragnar made timber and steel available for purchase only through other islands, and the water level in the City of Seven Waters also increased year by year. The ferocious sea and pirates continued to hinder transactions. At that time, almost every day
We can all hear the bad news that merchant ships transporting steel and lumber were robbed by pirates. Because there is little business, shipbuilding companies are fighting for customers, causing everyone to lose their jobs. If this situation continues, this Seven Rivers
The city can only become an island waiting to be submerged by the sea."
"At that time, everyone was in despair. This was the city of Seven Rivers that was once famous for its shipbuilding industry! In the end, no one was willing to entrust business. Shipyards closed down one after another, and some shipyard owners even hanged themselves.
Suicide! Because of lack of supplies, he used his own boat to buy wood and ended up 50 people drowning in the sea. This kind of thing is not uncommon! All the shops were closed down, and no tourists paid attention to the mask carnival. The island residents even had trouble eating.
You can’t even be self-sufficient. Human beings are so fragile..."
"Then what? 14 years ago, Mr. Tom proposed an amazing idea in front of the judges sent by the world government and in front of all the residents of the City of Seven Waters - to use a sea train to connect the City of Seven Waters, St. Poplar, and St. Preux
Specially, there are four islands in Phuket. The reason why this island is deserted is because of the inconvenient transportation. The reason why the people on the island are distracted is because they are afraid that the island will sink. And the sea train has become the savior of the Seven Waters City! Fourteenth
Years of time, four routes! Whether it is passengers, cargo, or ships, they are not affected by the weather, and everyone can travel freely on the sea!"
"I will never forget that day four years ago. The sea train 'Smoking Tom' set out from this almost deserted city, carrying once desperate people, and began to cross the sea!"
"And now, as you can see, the City of Seven Waters has regained its vitality and vitality. Not just me, many residents admire Mr. Tom. But..."
"It's just?" Wu Hongji tilted her head.
"It's just that we still know too little about Mr. Tom's race. We're a little...a little scared, haha." The hotel owner scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "Usually it's Mr. Tom's disciples or the one in their studio.
The beautiful secretary comes out to purchase supplies, and I don’t know what Mr. Tom’s temper is like. However, this does not prevent us from admiring him!”
Victor, who was sitting on the stool, raised his head and glanced at Haoxue, who folded his arms and made no sound for a long time.
After having a not hearty but warm meal in the hotel living room, everyone went back to their houses to rest.
Victor and Haoxue stood under the eaves outside the door, watching the heavy rain that had not stopped for a long time.
"...It turns out that this is how people view us." Haoxue, who was holding a long pipe, blew out a puff of thick smoke and sighed.
"You will be afraid if you don't understand. The 'unknown' is a common fear among intelligent creatures." Victor, who had changed into clean clothes, put his hands in his pockets and said with a smile: "Isn't it the same thing for the fish-men to humans...?"
Haoxue took a puff of cigarette silently and slowly exhaled the smoke: "...This is more difficult than we thought."
Victor shrugged his shoulders: "Who says it's not the case? But I won't just admit defeat, Mr. Haoshi."
Haoxue slowly exhaled another puff of smoke, and the scarlet fire in the pipe was looming in the rainy night.
After a long time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
