Chapter 261 Features of the Island (for Subscription~)

Seeing the tanned, hairy, sandy foot stepping on the cable, the veins on Quincy's forehead twitched. The tall, thin and dark man raised his head, looking at this one with the smell of the sea, The unkempt man with a hat on his head and a notebook in his hand said slowly.

"what are you doing?"

The man stepping on the cable responded in a shrill voice: "I should ask you this question. Who are you? Who allowed you to dock? Have you paid the mooring fee? If not, I'll take your damn boat Untie the dirty rope!"

Xifa was moving wine barrels, heard the sound, and looked towards the pier. Quincy was seen letting go of the cable, but clenched his fists. He hastily put down the wine barrel, jumped onto the pier, and bowed slightly to the man before the 'crazy old man' had an attack.

"My lord, please forgive me. He is just a worker, and he doesn't know a few big characters. If you are as honorable as you, you probably don't have the same knowledge as him."

Xifa felt Quincy's violent breathing sounded from behind, and knew that the 'crazy old man' probably wanted to beat someone now, and the one he wanted to beat the most was probably himself.

If he could, Sifer didn't want to interfere with Quincy's affairs, but if he let it go, they might see the captain with a stinky face on the Breaker at night.

"Hehe." It was probably the first time in his life that he was called a 'noble lord', and the man who should be the ship's officer laughed.

The job of the shipping officer is to register the entry and exit of ships at the dock. Although there is a word "official", it is not a real official.

They usually have only a rudimentary knowledge of writing and a little math, which allows them to record simple information about the vessel and ensure that the berthing fee is not undercharged or missed.

"Of course I don't care about a worker. I have seen too many people like him."

"However, you still have to answer my question, what do you do?"

Xifa pointed to the wine barrel on the boat: "As you can see, my lord, I am a wine merchant. I plan to come to Windmill Island to promote my wine. I think the people here may like it."

The ship's officer shook his head: "We prefer rum."

"We have rum too, but wine sells better. Maybe you can try it, and maybe you'll like it from now on."

As he spoke, Xifa took out a gold coin, stuffed it into the hands of the ship officer, and said with a smile, "This is our berthing fee. If you need to register your name, then just write 'Rayleigh'."

Although each country, whether it is Loen, Intis, or Fusac, the weight of each country's gold coins is different, and the gold content will also vary.

Still, a gold coin is a gold coin.

Gold is the hard currency at sea.

So the ship officer who received a gold coin smiled on every wrinkle: "Okay, Mr. Raleigh, welcome to Windmill Island, and I allow your ships to dock here."

Only then did Sifer turn around and wink at Quincy: "Do me a favor, bring up the wine barrels on the boat."

This is what workers should do.

Clearly suppressing his anger, Quincy whispered to Xifa, "Who do you call a worker?"

Xifa looked at him unflinchingly: "Are you still a child? We came to investigate, but as soon as you came up, you wanted to beat him up."

"If I hadn't said so, we might have to go back to the ship by now, would you like to do that?"

"If you still want to do this well, then, Mr. Quincy, please bring up the barrel."

Quincy's chest heaved, and it was best to refrain from jumping out of the boat and loading the casks onto the dock.

After finishing all this, he snorted and left the pier straight away.

"Mr. Raleigh, you workman has a very temper. If I were you, I would fire him immediately." The ship's officer closed the notebook, walked over, and spun in front of the wine barrel, "You wine ,tasty?"

Xifa took out a tin pot, took a jug of wine from the wine barrel, and handed it to the ship's officer: "Your Excellency, you have a taste."

The ship officer was also polite, took a sip and licked his lips: "It tastes good."

At this time, there was a commotion in front of the pier, and people gathered around, not knowing what they were looking at. Suddenly someone pushed away from the crowd, staggering, with a naked upper body and a big colorful bird tattooed on his chest.

His head seemed to have been hit hard, and blood was streaming down his face.

pedal! pedal! pedal!

Amidst a series of footsteps, a figure rushed over, threw the man down, then held up a short blade, roared, and stabbed hard.

The short blade pierced into the chest of the man with green tattoos until it was gone.

The man with blue tattoos stretched out his hand and tightly grabbed the murderer's neckline, but after a while, his hand fell to the ground weakly, and he was no longer breathing.

"Father, I have avenged you!" the murderer yelled, tears streaming down his face.

Strangely, he stood up, wiped the tears off his face, turned around and left.

the whole process.

No one came out to interfere, and even some people in the crowd applauded the murderer.

Sifa stared dumbfounded.

Such a thing is unimaginable in the Loen Kingdom. The murderer was probably thrown down and arrested by the police when he was chasing after the target with a knife in his hand.

"My lord, this, this killed a man." Xifa looked at the ship officer next to him.

The man took a few more sips of wine, hiccupped, and said with a smile: "It's okay, that's Genia, he just took revenge for killing his father and enemy."

Xifa felt his jaw drop: "Justified revenge? You guys, can you do this?"

He couldn't find the right words for a while, he just felt that such a bloody and barbaric event was happening before his eyes, and the residents of the island thought it was normal.

This is the weirdest thing.

"Normally, of course not." The ship officer wiped the corners of his mouth, shaking the tin pot, "I'm starting to like this wine."

Then he continued: "However, Genia's revenge is permitted by the 'God' and is completely legal."

"God?" Sifer suddenly remembered Oswald's commission.

"Yes, God." The ship officer turned towards the distant mountains of the island, bowed slightly with a serious expression, "The god of the sky, the pale king, the protector of the mountains, the great Asturka protects us, protects us to the sky and the sea."

"Genia's father went out to sea with some old fishermen in Barry last month, but they didn't come back. Barry said that their boat capsized, and Genia's father unfortunately died in the belly of the fish."

"But Genia didn't believe it, because the old guys in Barry had his father's belongings on them. So the child prayed to the gods, begging the gods to tell him the truth. As a result, he got a revelation and found him in the backyard of Barry's home. father's body."

"No, that can't be called a corpse. Poor old Mel only had one head left, and even the flesh on his face was eaten away by rats and insects. Since then, Genia has been allowed by the gods to carry out Justified revenge."

The ship officer smiled and said, "Do you need me to introduce you to a hotel? Mr. Raleigh."

"That's exactly what I want to say, my lord, please introduce me to a hotel." Xifa responded with a smile, but there were waves in his heart.

This island really has local beliefs. And, their gods respond, give revelations, and allow worshipers to take vengeance in broad daylight. The scene that the residents of Windmill Island thought was normal, but in the eyes of an "outsider" like Xifa, it was incredible.

And, a little bit scary.

"Come with me, Mr. Raleigh." The ship's officer shook the tin pot and said meaningfully, "Good wine is always drunk very quickly, don't you think?"

Xifa took the tin jug with a smile and filled him with a jug of wine. On the way to the hotel, the ship officer was in a good mood, so he mentioned a few words to Xifa.

For example, when outsiders come to Windmill Island, it is best to only move around in the small town near the pier, and not to run to their 'Holy Mountain'.

For example, it is best not to go out for activities at night. If you really need it, don't get close to dark places. If someone strikes up a conversation, don't answer it. Don't bother.

pity.

When Xifa asked about local beliefs, even if he asked insincerely, the ship officer was unwilling to mention it.

In a blink of an eye, they came to a hotel.

"White Windmill Hotel is the best hotel here. You can't even imagine how bad the sanitation of other hotels is. When you sleep at night, there may even be sea cockroaches crawling into your ears, but here, you Don't worry about things like that."

The ship officer pushed open the door of the hotel, opened his throat, and shouted inside: "Barry, old man, are you there? I brought you a guest, hurry up and say hello."

A small door at the back of the hotel reception suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man with gray beard and hair came out. He was wearing a dark brown top and light-colored loose trousers with many folds, similar to that of the Southern Continent. style, but the trouser legs are tied up, and the shoes made of grass and rattan seem to be a local characteristic.

In fact.

On the way here, Xifa found that many of the residents on this island, like ship officers, do not like to wear shoes. They seem to prefer to walk barefoot. Only children or girls wear straw rattan shoes, which is a special scenery on the island. .

"Noah, are you here to pay back the drink?" The man who seemed to be the hotel owner said angrily.

"Ahem, I'll pay you back later. This is Mr. Raleigh, the wine merchant. Barry, I think your small restaurant should buy more of Mr. Raleigh's wines. I'm starting to like them."

While talking, the ship officer named Noah has already opened the door and fled.

Only then did Barry raise his head and look at Xifa: "The wine merchant?"

"Yes, Mr. Barry." Xifa picked up a barrel of wine specially for guests to taste and put it on the counter, "This is our own wine, you can try it. If you like it, we can Talk about a price."

Barry nodded slightly, and then asked, "How many days do you need to stay on the island?"

Xifa responded with a smile: "At least two nights."

"1 soli per night, if there is no problem, please pay 1 soli first."

After Xifa paid the money, Barry shouted back: "Midiya, hurry up and help! Let your mother go alone, come and help right away!"

pedal pedal—

Footsteps sounded from the small door behind the reception desk, and a petite figure rushed over. At first glance, Xifa thought it was a boy. After all, the other party was wearing men's clothes that didn't fit well and a hat.

But if you take a closer look, you will find that this 'boy' has too delicate eyebrows and eyes, and the brown-red hair is stored in the hat. If it is put down, it must be very charming.

In addition, there is no Adam's apple, but the chest is slightly swollen, and there is a faint scent on the body that does not seem to be perfume.

Everything shows that this is a girl in men's clothing.

With a bad temper, Barry threw a bunch of keys on the counter: "The last room on the second floor, you can take the guests up."

Midia nodded imperceptibly, looked at Sifa, and whispered, "Please follow me."

Xifa glanced at the remaining barrels of wine: "Can I store these things with you."

"Yes, the storage fee is 5 pence per day, and it will be settled when you check out." Barry said with no expression.

"Listen to you."

Xifa smiled at the hotel owner's daughter again: "Please lead the way, Miss Midia."

As soon as Midea had a smile on her face, she immediately restrained herself, and then lowered her head to lead the way.

Sifer pretended not to see Barry's stern gaze on her daughter, and followed behind, thinking at the same time, the girl must have had a hard time in the hotel.

"Sir, where are you from?"

After leaving her father's sight, Midea became more lively, looking at Sifa curiously as she walked.

"Luen, I'm from Ruen." Sifa put his hands on his stomach and smiled, "But I'm from Intis, and I have to travel on the sea all year round."

"Loen, I heard people say that the Kingdom of Loen is very prosperous, is that true?" The girl was full of curiosity about the world outside the island.

Xifa laughed and said: "Not necessarily, Loen also has deserted towns. If you want to talk about prosperity, it must be Backlund. Backlund is the most prosperous city in Loen, and even the entire Northern Continent. If you have the opportunity, you should go Only by looking at it can you experience the true meaning of the word 'prosperous'."

Midia breathed heavily and shook her head, Sifa thought she was going to say something, but she didn't say anything.

The last room on the second floor, the room is not big, there is no distinction between the living room and the bedroom, but the layout is fairly simple, at least very hygienic. As soon as the window is opened, you can see the pier and see the rippling sea.

"You take a rest. For dinner, our hotel has a restaurant. Or, you can go to the restaurant at the street corner. Their fish soup is very good."

After briefly introducing the nearby restaurants, Midea said goodbye and left.

After resting for a while, Xifa took out candles and other items from the suitcase, set up a simple altar, and summoned the 'spiritual treasure chest'.

He took out a few things, namely 'Seer's Coin', 'Magic Ring', 'Traveler with a Thousand Faces', 'Embrace of the Tranquil Night' and two magician materials.

After finishing the summoning, Sifer took out the plotter and reaper potion formula copied from Raditz.

He copied the two formulas separately for the convenience of divination.

Xifa first took out the schemer's formula, and said the divination sentence: "There is a problem with this schemer's formula."

He popped the coin and was relieved to see the number side up.

After performing the same divination on the Reaper formula and getting the same answer, Xifa laughed: "Now, I can smoothly advance to Sequence 5."

He thought for a while, acting cautiously, he picked up the reaper formula alone: ​​"This formula will allow me to advance to Sequence 5 smoothly."

Pop the coins.

The coin spun continuously in mid-air, and finally landed on the table with a snap.

The digital side is on top
