Chapter 18 Util(1/2)
In the end, Zhang Yun did not use the New Year fireworks. Because the rolling smoke was very eye-catching on the cliff, the people on the ship discovered this place immediately and saw Zhang Yun waving her hands constantly.
They drove the boat to the beach closest to the cliff, and raised thick smoke to signal Zhang Yun to guide him along.
Zhang Yun made a little preparation, took back the fishman team and the elves' squad back to the sergeant space, leaving only Brother Zun beside him, and at the same time put away Brother Zun's weapons.
After all, Zhang Yun has not figured out the details of this world yet, and he doesn't know the degree of acceptance of other creatures by those humans. If the other party doesn't believe in the profession of summoning, or does not think that there are elves and fishmen in this world...
That's trouble.
Soon, Zhang Yun and Brother Zun came to the group of people.
"Friends, have you been shipwrecked and drifted to this island?"
Fortunately, the automatic translation in the game has not been eliminated, and I can understand the other person's words...
Zhang Yun immediately replied: "Yes, we have been drifting on the sea for a long time and arrived on this island without realizing it."
The other party's leader was a greasy fat man. He looked at his big belly and dressed more gorgeously than others. He was protected by several powerful young men from Kong Wu. He should be a big boss in the sea business.
He said, "That's really unfortunate..."
After a pause, he said: "The destination of our ship is Bantsona, but it will stop and recharge once. It is located on the island of Lolo, about two days away from here. You can take our ship on Lolo, and then wait for other ships there to take you back to where you are thinking about it."
"If your destination is near Bantsona, you can also follow us directly to Bantsona and go down there."
Well?
So direct?
Zhang Yun was a little confused, but did not show it. Instead, she pretended to be embarrassed and said, "But sir, we both have no money on us because of the shipwreck..."
"Oh, no money, you just need to help do something on the boat."
The fat businessman continued, "By the way, you probably haven't had a meal on the island for a few days, right? I have saved some bread on the boat. You can eat some first and slow down."
"Carter, go to the kitchen and get some food for these two gentlemen."
"Okay, boss, go right now." The man known as Carter raised his hand, responded, and trotted back to the boat.
All this happened in just three seconds. After the fat boss finished speaking in one breath, Carter ran very fast, without giving Zhang Yun a chance to refuse.
that……
I'm not hungry at all...
I only chewed a chicken leg not long ago...
The fat boss didn't see the strange thing on Zhang Yun's face, but continued to arrange: "Two gentlemen, there are many monsters on the wild island nearby, all of which are quite powerful."
"We should not stay below for a long time, so as not to be attacked by them. Get on the boat first, be safer on the boat, and then we will chat slowly."
Zhang Yun: “…”
no!
Is this wrong?
Don’t you always ask the victims carefully on TV?
Why did you put it on the boat?
Are you not afraid of the undercover sent by some pirates?
Could it be that they are pirates or human traffickers themselves...
However, after getting on the ship, the group of people did not show any evil appearance, but returned to their posts and cooperated with the employees who had stayed on the ship to spread the main sail and let the ship restart.
In this way, Zhang Yun and Brother Zun didn't understand anything and explained their origins. They were invited by the fat boss and his men to the boat, and they also ate sweet bread and warm milk.
"Well……"
"What's going on..."
Zhang Yun was puzzled, so she used her inheritance skills to "insight" carefully to look at everyone on the ship. Based on the information given in the introduction, she found that they were indeed not bad people.
Among them, the fat boss is called "Robert", a maritime freighter. His main business covers three areas. First, he transports Bantsona's local specialties to a city called Rand, then transports Rand's silk to an island called Tris, and finally transports Tris's fine wine back to Bantsona.
There are about 30 employees under him, most of whom are sailors responsible for driving the boat, as well as chefs, repairmen and other basic personnel.
The remaining small part is the combatants, composed of five magicians at level 20, a priest at level 17, and three melee combat at level 25.
Carter, who delivered bread, is the leader among them. His personal level is level 27, and his profession is melee swordsman. The profession level and specific data show question marks, but judging from the temperament he exudes, it should not be too low.
In addition, there are several people on the boat who have inexplicable descriptions, such as third-rate painters and pig farmers.
If you think about it carefully, it should be that the passengers who took the boat to Bantsona - the crew members transported the cargo and transported a few more people to earn some extra money. It is normal.
Then, Zhang Yun had a full meal and had a close chat with Robert and the crew.
He got some information, learned some information about the world, and also understood the reason why this group of people directly let him get on the boat.
In fact, this world is not the background of "Lost Country". All countries and place names are different from those in the game, but the species that exist are strange and have all kinds of them, including the Little Fishman and the Light Ball version of the Elemental Elf.
If Zhang Yun wanted to summon all the entourages in the "Lost Kingdom", there would be basically no problem, and no one would be surprised by unknown species.
Unless it is a behemoth of 100 meters like the Evil Dragon Jinli...
Zhang Yun did not dare to ask about the detailed information about the world in detail, because this would make her very strange and she didn't even know some common sense things.
So he only figured out a few points.
First: This is the territory of the Kingdom of Alberia, including Bantsona, Tris, and Rand, all of which are its cities and this sea area, which can be regarded as its territory.
Second: It is not uncommon for people like Zhang Yun who have black hair and black eyes. On the contrary, they are everywhere. They all come from the Eastern Kingdoms, so the people on the ship do not find it strange at all about Zhang Yun's appearance.
Third: This sea area is very large and dangerous. Not only are there pirates, but also powerful monsters lurking under the sea.
Although they rarely attack large human ships, they are not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of if they are. Therefore, Robert recruited five powerful magic envoys on the ship to protect himself.
Fourth: I was so good that I explored the island first. If I didn’t explore it at that time, I would build a small wooden boat on the first day to go with the flow. Now the cliff will waste resurrection coins and dragon diamonds...
As for the reason why Robert and the others asked Zhang Yun to board the ship directly.
First of all, Robert is a man engaged in marine transportation and has been running around the ocean all year round. It can be said that he pressed half of his head into the sea water, and he might even be unable to encounter a tsunami at any time.
So he was very superstitious, or even faithful, and was extremely pious towards the "Sea Goddess Siren" and abide by the maritime doctrine she set - to save every invader who could encounter, so that he would be protected by the Sea Goddess and would never encounter danger.
Secondly, Robert was originally a kind-hearted person, and he often helped homeless people and gave them food and shelter.
Carter, the guy who delivered bread, has a strong strength of level 27, but he obeys such a greasy fat man, and it is because he has received Robert's favor since he was a child that he is so loyal.
If it weren't for Robert's relief, Carter would have starved to death on the streets long ago. How could he have become a swordsman like now and the captain of the battle squad on the ship?
Therefore, it is normal for Robert to let Zhang Yun get on the boat. If he were other people in trouble, he would decisively stop the boat and dock to save someone else's life.
In addition, there is another reason... Everyone who works on the boat knows that accidents will come at any time and will not be smooth sailing forever.
And you save the victim today, maybe when you are in trouble tomorrow, the person you save will find you on a boat and then save you back.
Even if it is not him, it is possible that other people who have been rescued will encounter you and save you.
Saving people is saving yourself. This sentence is a truth that many people believe in in the Kingdom of Alberia.
What's more, many people are willing to repay their kindness. If you take someone home, maybe the other party is grateful and then give you a gold mine as a reward. Then you will make a big profit?
Therefore, most captains will order people to save when they encounter in distress, unless there is no way, such as there are powerful sea creatures, or the food on the ship is completely insufficient...
As for the pirates.
These guys are indeed a little annoyed, but they are not the kind of short-sighted people who like to kill chickens and get eggs. They will not rob them all every time they rob, but rob some of them, which is considered a "toll" paid by merchant ships.
Seeing that they were wandering on the sea all day and getting rid of many monsters that like to attack ships, many merchant ships chose not to resist and paid the toll if they should pay.
And these pirates also have more conscientious ones. If you pay the money, we will follow you for a day to escort you.
So strictly speaking, these pirates are not pirates in the traditional sense, but mercenaries organized by the people themselves. They are just "special mercenaries" that will forcefully protect you.
Therefore, Robert and others were not afraid of pirates, so they did not interrogate Zhang Yun carefully. Anyway, what should be come will always come...
After understanding the reason, Zhang Yun felt relieved and no longer suspected these kind-hearted people, especially the fat boss Robert, who looked extremely vulgar...
At night, Zhang Yun and Zun Ge followed Robert's arrangement and lived in the wet ship warehouse.
Although the environment here is not very good, it can be considered as a place to live. After all, the employees and other people who boarded the boat together are for the staff. They really can't squeeze in. If they don't live here, they have to go to the deck to blow the cold sea breeze.
In this way, Zhang Yun spent another peaceful night in another world, and nothing happened all night.
The next day, Robert arranged some tasks for Zhang Yun and Zun Ge, basically sweeping the floor, organizing the dining table, washing dishes and other miscellaneous tasks, without any difficulty.
He and Zun Ge completed these things step by step, and did some extra things, such as helping sailors lift things, tying ropes, etc., which instantly brought him closer to the people on the boat.
When it was time for dinner, the chef on the boat made a rich lunch with the food preserved by frozen magic, and then summoned people who did not have to work at this time to enjoy it.
Zhang Yun followed it, eating the flat-tasting meat steak while listening to them talking about the miscellaneous things and absorbing the information and information from it.
It’s a pity that these people either talk about the three aunts and uncles or women of various styles, and there is nothing useful in the topic.
In desperation, Zhang Yun gave up eavesdropping and directly added to the topic, consciously guiding them to talk about things in this world, especially those of high-level professionals.
When talking about this, the group of professionals became interested and immediately added to the topic.
They can blow each one more than the other. What's the old man next door to me is a high-level archer who shot five monsters' heads with one arrow...
Or my uncle is a high-level magician who accidentally discovered the location of the underground organization and then took down the other party's secret base alone...
To be continued...
