Alien Paradise.

Chapter 61 The Bloody Stone
The carriage drove forward for another ten minutes, and after climbing a small hill, an open land suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

There are not only sightseeing platforms, small shops, but also restaurants and hotels here!

Chaoyang couldn't help thinking of the rest area next to the highway, highlighting that a small sparrow has all five internal organs.

Moreover, there are quite a few tourists in this "rest area", at least two to three hundred people at a glance.The places where the most crowds gather are the photo-taking area on the viewing platform, and the other is in front of the small shop.

"I understand why everyone would rather travel across the ocean to come here to have a look..." Chaoyang whispered.

If the sea of ​​clouds in Huangshan Mountain is like a fairyland, walking in the mountains and forests is like walking with clouds, then here is another sea of ​​clouds-a towering fog wall rises from the slope, dividing the small hill into two, the nearest place Not even ten meters from the rest area.Standing on the slope is like standing at the end of the world, and if you take a step forward, you will fall into the abyss.

At this time, the sense of oppression on the senses has also reached its limit. As long as you look forward, no matter which direction you go, you will see a high gray wall, which makes you really feel your own insignificance.If such a spectacle were placed on the earth, it would definitely be a famous place to check in with Internet celebrities, and it would not be uncommon for the number of tourists to double by a hundred times.

"Let's go to the store and have a look." Judy suggested.

Chaoyang nodded.On the way, he also saw a small group of people walking down the hilltop, testing back and forth on the edge of the fog wall.

"Dear tourists, although the fog is extremely terrifying, there is also a treasure in this world that can dispel the fog and illuminate the way forward for you—that is the moonstone in my hand!"

The merchant in front of the counter yelled vigorously, shaking a stone back and forth in his hand.To be honest, the appearance of this thing is not good, it looks like an ordinary stone with blackish blue, it is not as bright and firelike as jewelry, nor is it smooth and round like jade.

At the same time, its price is quite high, the one with the size of a thumb is priced at ten thaliers.

However, there are still many people who are willing to pay.

After all, they have crossed the sea to the New World, and spending ten silver more is not a big deal to these people.

"If you want to go deep into the hinterland...then these things are a must." Dan leaned closer to his ear, "Of course, I don't recommend you to buy moonlight directly, but to buy a crafted spirit lamp in the city. It’s much cheaper that way.”

Of course, Chaoyang wouldn't buy it, so he found an opportunity to walk up to the counter, pretending to play with the moonlight sample on it, and recreated a prototype in his mind in the blink of an eye.

"Everyone! Please don't buy Moonlight Stones!" Suddenly, a loud voice erupted from the crowd, "Every stone in your hands is covered with blood!"

The noise at the scene suddenly subsided.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise and began to search for the source of the sound.

"What is she saying?"

"Stained with blood...is it true or not?"

Following the gazes of everyone, Chaoyang also saw the speaker—it was a young woman with striking orange long hair, and the ends of her hair were curled, which was a typical style of rich kids.Although she is not very old, she is quite proud of her figure, and her height of nearly 1.7 meters is even more outstanding among women.

"Everything I say is true! These guys—" she pointed to the counter merchant, "They are looking for wild Tritons in the sea, because there are often a lot of blue corals near the islands where Tritons live, and these After the coral is dried and crushed, it becomes the moonstone! This is a business, but guess what this group of people do? They burn, kill and loot, feed the dead Tritons to the fish, and sell the living ones slave!"

"The problem is, the Tritons know how to find blue coral reefs. Cooperation is a better choice, but why do they let go and plunder? Because only if the Tritons are trampled on their feet and they are slaves, these people Only then can they monopolize the trade of raw materials conveniently, and they can also use slave trade to make a fortune! They have been operating this process for almost 200 years! What else can the stone be stained with if it is not stained with blood?"

Everyone was talking about it for a while.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the businessman quickly said, "Miss... have you made a mistake? I'm just selling souvenirs, how can I go to sea to rob..."

"Yes, the one who robbed was called Schneck & Weil Shipping Company, and you are a parasite who relies on the company to make a living. There is a difference between you, but it's not big!"

Seeing that he couldn’t make an excuse, the businessman rolled his eyes and said, “Could it be that Miss is sympathetic to wild aliens? They are going to crossbreed with murlocs and octopuses. Letting them live in the sea is equivalent to cultivating a group of pirates in disguise. You still want to be with them.” Can't make a deal?"

"I'm not sympathizing with them!" The woman frowned, "But this group of people also has their own language and culture, at least they are much safer than the cultists, not to mention that they can accelerate the development of the New World, so they should reconsider their status! I object What’s more, in order to guarantee the monopoly interests, the shipping company did not hesitate to use bloodbaths to sweep up Triton islands and limit the overall production of Moonlight Stone, all just for the high price of this stone in your hands!”

"Then may I ask, Miss, in the new enslavement law passed by the kingdom, which one stipulates that wild Triton people are not allowed to be regarded as slaves?" The businessman laughed, "I remember, this law was promulgated to restrict the use of slaves, right? Since you didn't mention the Tritons, isn't your accusation of slave trade too frivolous? Besides, there are naturalized Tritons all over the mainland, and they didn't even protest, so why bother? "

As soon as these words came out, many voices of agreement were immediately aroused.

"That's right, it's okay to use wild species as slaves, right? There is a shortage of people overseas."

"I don't want to sympathize with pirates!"

"Have you seen Tritons? What do they look like?"

"It seems a bit like a sea monster..."

Especially when it comes to appearance, many ladies also made exaggerated low voices.

"Are the Sea Guards so weird?" Chaoyang recalled, except for the ripe brown skin and patterns on his body, the Sea Guards he saw had no obvious difference in appearance from the humans in Fort Glory, if it wasn't for the scars , can even be called good-looking.

"This is because the law is lagging behind..." The woman's voice was obviously a little lower, "However, for their own interests, the shipping company would rather delay the progress of exploring the New World and put the kingdom's safety at risk. This is indisputable fact!"

"Miss, what you said is too exaggerated." The businessman took advantage of the situation to pursue, "These Tritons have filled an important vacancy in the mine. Without them, who would we find to mine polycrystalline stones? I'm afraid you don't know, the conditions there are How bad it is, ordinary people are definitely not willing to go, and only slaves and criminals will be taken into that kind of place. And these ores are important raw materials for strange structures, mining can not stop for a day, and everyone of us is now enjoying Do you want to deny all the convenience brought by the miracle?"

"I think he's right!" Immediately, a nobleman agreed.

"That's right, the rapid development of the kingdom is inseparable from strange structures. I'm afraid this young lady doesn't understand the importance of the two."

"Which lady is this?" Some people also began to discuss the identity of the woman.

"I don't know. He looks good, so he must be an upstart, right? It's a pity that he's not very good at debating."

And the woman's eyes staring at the businessman were visibly turning cold.

"Miss, forget it, forget it..." A middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper hastily stretched out his hand and half-blocked her in front of her.

"Is this the street debate performance? It's the first time I've seen it." Judy still couldn't get enough of it.

"What?" Chaoyang raised his eyebrows.

"Benyan is when one party publicly expresses his point of view to attract others to watch, so as to promote his point of view and at the same time find a confidant." She explained, "Scholars in the Old World believe that the truth will only become clearer and clearer when debated. , so this kind of activity is often held in parks, streets and stations, and it gradually spread among the nobles."

"Can this be passed on?" Chaoyang was amazed, this is simply an activity exclusive to Sheniu, it seems that it is not easy to be a high-class person.

"That's right, and I bet it will be in the local newspapers. After all, there are very few street debates in Splendid Fort."

"In that case, let me help her."

"Eh?"

Before Judy could react, Chaoyang had already raised his hand, "I have a different opinion!"
