Chapter 162 Encounter
Danitz opened his mouth, and subconsciously spat out an Intis word:
"hostel."
The air seemed to freeze in an instant. Danitz looked at the coachman's dark brown skin, rough and messy black hair, softer contour lines and the same blank expression. Go to the other side of the street.
"Shit! I met such a coachman who didn't understand Intis! Shouldn't he know a few words from the Northern Continent when he was carrying passengers near the pier? Sak people!" Danis muttered, looking ahead, looking for passers-by who looked like they were from the Northern Continent or had the corresponding bloodline, so that they could check into the hotel and fill their stomachs.
As far as he knew, there were quite a lot of Intis immigrants in Port Behrens, and there were also some Loen, Fusac, and Fenepot people. As long as they could meet one or two, communication would not be a problem.
However, Danitz feels that there is a prerequisite for all this, that is, he did not faint from heatstroke during the search.
"This shitty weather!" He looked up at the blue sky, the white clouds and the not-so-hot sun, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and cursed with a slightly distorted expression.
Cursing, scolding, Danis is actually very clear that the temperature in the Southern Continent this season is moderate, even a little low. The reason why he is so hot is because he wears the "sun brooch". He didn't know the status clearly, so he didn't dare to take off the brooch and put it in the suitcase - if he accidentally lost this item, he could completely imagine Gehrman Sparrow's cold and crazy behavior. eyes.
Come a few people from the Northern Continent, from any country is fine, I am a great pirate who has mastered multiple languages... Danitz kept muttering, all he could think of was iced beer and A sea of icebergs.
While thinking, he suddenly raised his hand and rubbed his eyes.
He finally saw a guy who was obviously of Northern Continent race!
Moreover, it seems that they may still be acquaintances!
Diagonally in front of Danitz, at the street entrance illuminated by the warm sun, a young man with short blond hair combed into a 70s was leaning against the wall, playing a silver-white harmonica.
He has green eyes, is wearing a white shirt with the top two buttons unbuttoned, a black vest that is completely open, dark trousers, and a single black glove. He is the strongest hunter in the Misty Sea, Anderson Hu. Germany!
Such a coincidence? This guy actually came to West Balam... Danitz was overjoyed, he felt that he had finally caught a piece of driftwood in the vast sea of people, and he didn't care about recalling Anderson's performance on the "Golden Dream", so he went straight to He moved closer and greeted with the hunter's standard tone:
"What? I can't continue being a treasure hunter, so I started performing on the street?"
He noticed that there was a top hat upside down in front of Anderson, which contained twenty or thirty brass coins, a small amount of "Kopey" belonging to Intis, and most of them were "Delixi" from the local area.
——"Delixi" means copper plate in Intis language.
Anderson stopped playing, and glanced at Danitz:
"It's not my hat.
"I just passed by here, and saw such a hat fell on the ground, and no one noticed it. I felt a little emotional, so I took out the harmonica and played it casually. Who knows, many people listened and lost some money in it.
"A rude pirate like you probably can't understand the charm of music. It has no borders. Let me tell you, your captain likes it very much..."
"Stop!" With a twitch on the forehead, Danis stopped Anderson's words from not knowing which direction he was going, and asked instead, "Why did you come here?"
Anderson held the harmonica and thought about it seriously:
"That's a good question.
"I don't know how I came to West Balam. I can't remember what happened in the past two months."
Danitz wanted to say stop joking, but Anderson's serious expression made him believe it involuntarily.
Considering it, he asked:
"Can't remember anything?"
Anderson put away the silver harmonica, bent down and picked up the top hat with a lot of coins, played the dust and said:
"My last memory stays in Bayam. After parting with Gehrman Sparrow, I seemed to be going to meet someone at the predetermined place, but when I woke up, I was in West Balam...
"Haha, don't worry about these things, as long as you are still alive, ah, it's almost noon, let's go, find a place to eat, I heard that Behrens' pork knuckle is very famous."
While speaking, Anderson put the top hat and the coins inside next to the homeless man next door.
Danitz was hot, hungry and tired, he was refreshed and said:
"Do you understand the Dutan language here?"
Anderson snorted suddenly:
"Haven't you heard of my many adventures as a treasure hunter in West Balam?"
That's right, I wanted to ask you for information on West Balam before... The situation here is chaotic and dangerous. If I can get Anderson, it will definitely be much safer, and there will be an extra translator! I can't talk about hiring, I can't afford to pay him... Danis smiled slightly:
"Then I'm relieved, let's go."
Carrying his luggage, he and Anderson went around to the side street, and found a nearby restaurant to enter.
Hearing the waiter's chattering native language, and seeing the menu full of unknown characters, Danitz had a headache, and hurriedly said to Anderson:
"Come and see."
As he spoke, he handed the menu to the strongest hunter in the Misty Sea opposite him.
Anderson didn't reach out, and responded with a normal face:
"I also can not understand."
"...Didn't you say you can speak frankly?" Danitz blurted out in astonishment.
Anderson spread his hands and said:
"I never said that.
"Is there any relationship between coming to West Balam to find treasures many times and knowing Dutan?"
"You don't know how to understand the text in ancient temples and castle ruins? How do you find treasures?" Danitz's expression was distorted again, and the speed of his speech involuntarily became faster.
Anderson picked up the cup that the waiter had just set, Gulu took a sip of water and said:
"Problems that can be solved with a dictionary are not problems.
"Besides, can't you communicate with people from the Southern Continent if you don't know how to speak frankly?"
After finishing speaking, he looked sideways at the waiter and said in Intis language:
"Two special pork knuckles."
The waiter kept pointing to the menu with an unmistakable blank look on his face.
Anderson was not impatient at all. He pressed his nose with his right hand in a calm manner, imitating the snoring of a pig.
The waiter was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a dazed expression. Then, Anderson pointed to his elbow and the Behrens icon on the menu, and compared the number "2" with his fingers.
"*%¥#" The waiter nodded continuously while speaking Dutan with an accent, indicating that he understood, while Danitz was almost stunned watching.
Anderson gestured, mixed with a small amount of simple Dutan words, and finally finished ordering, turned his head and smiled at Danitz:
"Got it? In this world, the truly universal language is body language!"
Danitz watched with a dull expression, and twitched the corner of his mouth as a response.
…………
The carriage drove out of the west district, headed south at the fork in the road, and soon arrived at a military base.
Klein, led by Colonel Calvin's handwriting and the lieutenant officer, entered smoothly, and came to a square paved with rammed earth, where a huge monster combining dark blue and pure white was parked.
This airship is tens of meters long, with strong and light alloy skeletons protruding from the top of the body, spreading and crisscrossing, supporting the airtight and waterproof fabric with airbags, and the machine gun ports, bomb openings and Artillery muzzle.
At this time, the humming sound of the high-phlogiston steam engine has not yet sounded, and the corresponding blades have not rotated, and everything is very quiet.
Klein handed over the documents and identification to the officer guarding the gangway, and after getting permission, he carried his suitcase and boarded the airship step by step.
This place is like a cabin, divided into three floors, with complex mechanical devices and warehouses for storing goods on the top, and a hall where buffets and dances can be held in the middle. Around the hall and on both sides of the passage leading to the upper and lower floors, are There are lounges one by one, as for the bottom floor, there are machine gun rooms, ammunition rooms, artillery positions, and soldiers' rooms.
Passing by the guards with rifles, Klein found the corresponding lounge according to what the officer told him just now, and put his luggage next to a sofa-like seat.
Then, he picked up the glass of water on the table, walked to the window, and looked at the scenery outside.
Frankly speaking, although he knows a little bit about everything, he only knows a little bit, so he doesn't understand what the design principle of this latest airship is, how high it can fly, and how bumpy it is in mid-air.
This made him a little apprehensive. Before setting off, he did a divination above the gray mist, and got the revelation that he could reach his destination relatively smoothly.
It seems that there are seat belts. The airship industry in this world has a history of many years, and there is relatively enough experience in all aspects... Klein was about to withdraw his gaze from looking outside, admiring the layout of the room and the candlelight behind the hard glass cover , suddenly saw a group of people approaching the airship numbered "1345".
These people include men and women, basically wearing black thin trench coats, red gloves, and carrying suitcases of different sizes. There is only one, wearing a mysterious psychic robe, and wearing blue eye shadow and blush , it was Daly Simone.
Behind this lady, walking behind is the dark-haired and blue-eyed Leonard Mitchell.
Without anyone else noticing, Leonard's footsteps suddenly slowed down. Immediately, he raised his head and looked at the second floor of the airship.
His eyes then reflected Dwayne Dantès, who was wearing a formal suit and a bow tie, with white sideburns and deep blue eyes.
The gentleman stood behind a window, showed a warm smile, and raised the cup in his hand.
