Chapter 218 Going to the sea, asking for help(1/2)
After chattering all the way, after taking this generous guest to the Emerald Leaf Hotel, the boy Mante walked out of the hotel and walked towards the place he was in.
"Mante, what's going on? Didn't you tell me to bring this country bumpkin to our territory? Why did you bring him here?" A big man with a fierce face leaned over and asked in a low voice.
"Brother Kuoman, I dare not bring him to you." Mante shook his head.
"What's wrong? Is this person weird?" The man was not angry, but asked worriedly.
"It's really scary. I walked beside him just now and felt like something was pressing down in my heart. I couldn't have any other thoughts at all. Only by talking nonstop can I feel better - I didn't relax until after he went in just now."
"I have never encountered such a strange thing. Brother Kuoman, we'd better not provoke this person." The boy said with a look of fear.
The most important thing in making a living in society is to know people and know who can’t be provoked.
The big man nodded: "Since you have this feeling, then you will serve him honestly in the past two days. We can't afford to offend such an old man."
As the most prosperous and fertile city in the most powerful kingdom of the subcontinent, it will naturally attract many strong people. This is a highland of talents and is not a strange thing.
The mid-level powerful man who is rare in Gilter is not only a car-mounted battle in Beechlun Port, but it is not unusual.
Among the people who traveled to and from Beechlun Port, especially among the loners, there are really everyone. Not to mention one or two professionals, it is not unusual to have one or two high-level powerful men and even the dark race.

In any world where survival pressure is present, the small people at the bottom always have to face the strongest competition. Only by leaving the lower society can the world show a little gentleness to smart life.
Ende once died of cold and starvation. Although his sesame seeds bloomed gradually later in life, it does not mean that he did not know about this little thing in the lower class.
It is almost impossible for a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy to solicit guests alone to earn money as a guide without gang protection.
As a strong man close to legend, Ende doesn't care about this danger, but he doesn't want to waste time in vain. It's meaningless to entangle with such a small person at the bottom of society, and his time is not worth wasting here.
What's more, it is not easy to make a living in the lower class society. This bit of cheating has not exceeded Ende's bottom line.
People who condemn moral corruption at the moral high ground often forget that there are both fish and meat on their own tables, while those at the bottom often don’t know if they have to eat the next meal.
What's worse is that even with a modern democratic electoral system, it will not be the turn of representatives of the lower class to come to the stage to speak.
In politics, there are indeed people who speak for the lower class, but these people are not real lower class people. It is actually difficult for real lower class people to get out of this social class. A black NBA basketball star once said that in their neighborhood, boys can only play basketball and be a gangster.
Those politicians just saw some of the injustice and thought that they understood the life of the lower class and spoke for the lower class - there was some sincerity, but more to cheat votes.

"Sir, you can hand me your horse, we have the best animal care experts here, the druid from the Emerald Eye—uh—"
When Ender walked through the gate and walked into the front garden of Emerald Leaf, a male human servant came forward to take the initiative to take over the horse's reins, but found that Dabai had no saddles, horse's reins and other accessories except for a row of golden rings that tied the horse's mane.
"It's going to live with me and open a separate yard for me." Ender popped up a gold coin as a tip.
"—Okay, please come with me." The attendant grabbed the gold coins. Since the other party was not short of money, many problems were not a problem.
Jade Leaf is a hotel with a elven style. Not to mention the large area, it has rich vegetation inside, and isolates independent yards with trees and shrubs. Although it is not very large, it is also good for temporary settlement.
The Minglin courtyard rented by Ande is about 1,000 square meters, and is equipped with a special butler who can obey the guests' calls at any time.
Such high-quality service, of course, is also very high-quality, and the rent costs five gold coins per day.
However, this is a terrifying high price for ordinary people, but for Ender it is not that little money.
Let Dabai wander around the yard by himself, and Ender called the temporary housekeeper: "Ms. Bella, please check for me if there is a fleet to go to Wanta City recently."
"Mr. Ante, there is no direct route to Wanta City. If you want to go to Wanta City, you have to go to Moor Port first, then transfer to other passenger ships, pass through Storm Strait and the Mitheus Islands, and then you can reach Wanta City - the whole journey is more than 10,000 kilometers."
Ms. Bella is a middle-aged woman with white hair. She is wearing a long black dress and looks serious, looking like a female housekeeper in a noble family.
"Why are you so clear?" Ander asked curiously.
Because the paper has not yet been invented, we used a large sya leaves bred by the elf druid to bind them into a book, recording some information that does not require long-term storage. Although it is many times cheaper than parchment, it is not something that ordinary people can enjoy.
"Sir, the owner of Emerald Leaf, Master Andre*, once studied in the City of Wanta, is no secret." Ms. Bella said calmly.
"Can you recommend this Andrei Mage for me?" Asked Ander. If you can learn about it before going to Wanta City, it will be helpful to his plan.
"I can repay your request, but I can't guarantee that Master Andre will meet you--if you have any tokens that prove your identity, it may be helpful."
"Andre* Luoye, does he have anything to do with the elves?" The surname Luoye is relatively rare among other races.
"Lord Andre is a half-elf. During the North War a few years ago, Lord Andre went to the North to participate in the war."
"Then bring this to him." Ender thought for a while, and took out a golden oak leaf in his arms and handed it to Bella.
This leaf was given to him by the high-level elf demon-patterned fighter Elwin, and it comes with the "air purification technique" three times a day. After use, it needs to be placed in a place with abundant vegetation to recharge for one day.
This thing is not very valuable in terms of value, but it is quite useful for nobles who have lived in the room for a long time.
——————————————
The Tertes is a large passenger ship nearly forty meters long. It has three masts from beginning to end, making it a veritable behemoth.
When all the sails spread out together, the bow of the boat pushed the waves away at a speed that was as fast as the horse galloped, and white waves appeared on both sides of the boat. The seagulls took the opportunity to hunt down the small fish that had been overturned in the sea.
Some curious passengers stood by the side of the boat with some bread, and the seagulls would fly over to take the bread away, bringing bursts of laughter.
There are quite a few ships from Port Bechillen to Port Moore, but there are also many passengers to Port Moore. And Ender also has to take a giant war horse on the boat and has to go to the cabin, so he has not many options.
The reason why he was able to board the Tertes was because he promised Master Andre to take action to protect the ship and someone if necessary.
Ande stood by the side of the boat and looked at the sea. Dabai stood beside him, waving his tail from time to time - this was the first time that Ande took a sea boat in two lives.
"Hello, your horse is so beautiful. Can I touch it?" A tender voice rang beside Ander.
A little baby fat, about six or seven years old, with curly hair and wearing a pink dress. The chubby little girl looked at Dabai enviously. She wanted to reach out to touch Dabai's horse's legs, but she looked a little afraid.
"Of course, its temper is good." Ander squatted down.
"Then I touched it--" the little girl confirmed it, and when Ande nodded, she tentatively stretched out her hand and gently touched Dabai's hind legs.
With her little figure, she can only reach Dabai's calves.
"Its body is cold, and its hair is so thin and soft." Feeling the feeling coming from its palm, the little girl smiled in surprise.
"This is how Dabai is like this." Ander said with a smile.
"Well, this is how this horse is." The little girl said seriously, as if she knew it.
"What's your name? Run it out by yourself, won't your mother be in a hurry?" Ender asked.
Although it is on the boat, if you can't find your daughter, parents will be anxious.
"My name is Nina, my mother is there, I didn't run out by myself." The little girl turned around and pointed to the open-air tea room behind her, pouting and retorted.
In the direction of the little girl's finger, there were three whale bone skirts in different colors but the same form, with different patterns on the skirts decorated with ladies sitting around a sun umbrella and drinking afternoon tea leisurely. I don't know that one was the little girl's mother.
Seeing Ande looking over there, they picked up the teacup and signaled slightly, but they did not mean to call the child back.
This Tertes is a dedicated passenger ship, which is different from other half-customer and half-cargo ships, and only transports noble guests.
———————————————
"Ke Ruila, don't you call Nina back? We don't know that person." The lady in a white whale bone skirt covered her mouth with a tea cup and whispered.
"Let Nina play there for a while. It's not easy to take a horse on the boat. If you can get to know Nina, it might be helpful to our situation." Ms. Ke Ruila, wearing a blue whale bone skirt, whispered.
It is hard to get a ticket for a special passenger ship like the Tertes. Not to mention bringing such a big horse, even if you are a person, you will not be able to sell your tickets to you if you have money or not enough status.
(Ande himself did not take that leaf seriously, but since it was given by a high-level powerful man of the Jade Eye, how could it be an ordinary product? Otherwise, how could Master Andrei be willing to meet with Ande and arrange a ship as soon as he saw this leaf?
From the perspective of enchanting, that leaf is of course nothing, but as a token, only a real big man will be given this leaf - it must be the power of the great man, at least the character of the high-level power)
"Do we want to take the initiative to come over and get to know each other?" asked the woman in a yellow whale bone skirt.
"Wait, we are too unrestrained to go over and talk about it when he sends Nina back."
While they were talking, the little girl had already climbed onto the back of Dabai's horse with the help of Ender, giggling and dancing.
Although the children are active, they are tired very quickly.
Seeing Nina start to vent her anger, Ander took the little girl to the place where the three ladies were sitting.
"Thank you, Nina has caused you trouble." The lady wearing a blue whale bone skirt said decently.
"No, Nina is cute. I also have a daughter who is about the same age as hers," Ander handed Nina over to her mother.
"Nina, it's time for you to go to bed." Ke Ruila waved her hand, and a maid walked up and led the little girl to the cabin.
"Uncle Ante, goodbye; Dabai, goodbye." The little girl said politely.
Ander nodded with a smile, and Dabai also raised his front hooves to express his goodbye.
"Mr. Ante, have a drink together?" Ke Ruila made an invitation.
"Okay, then thank you for the reception, Dabai, you go back to your room first."
Dabai nodded, turned around and walked towards the hatch door, as if he could understand human words.
"It understands you? Are you a druid?"
"I'm not a druid, madam. If you encounter any trouble, you can tell me directly. For Nina's sake, I will provide some help." Ender sat down, picked up the black tea and took a sip, and said bluntly.
How could they hide it from Ende when they whispered behind them?
"——————————Sir, you?" The three ladies looked at each other in surprise, and finally Nina's mother Ke Ruila asked.
"You are still talking too loudly." Ender leaned against the chair, holding the teacup in both hands, and said casually.
