King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 403 Director of the Garbage Recycling Plant

"Monsters? Is there really such a thing?" Komatsu Jilong couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard Yu Yan's explanation. Shouldn't things like monsters only exist in legends?

"It's absolutely true." Ember nodded, and then lifted up a corner of Mengt's head, revealing his big tail with horns on the back.

Not only that, Mita also came close to Komatsu Yoshitaka's ear and whispered: "The two of them don't have the Eye of God but can use elemental power. I think they are actually traveling Onmyoji."

"That big guy should be Lord Ember's shikigami." Mita speculated based on the novels he had occasionally read before.

"Okay, okay, as long as they don't cause damage, let them go." Komatsu Takayoshi waved his hand, took out a best-quality weapon from Mita, and let them go.

What should I do if I’m not allowed to go? Sanda's words just now hinted at the unusualness of Yu Ember and Mengt. He, a little ronin, couldn't stop them even if he really wanted to.

"Hey..., okay!" Mita gritted his teeth. He originally thought that Komatsu Takayoshi wouldn't accept the gift, but he didn't expect that he would give him a hand in the end.

Mita waved to the people behind him, and then led them into the wreckage.

The wreckage of the sunken ship stretches one after another from the beach to the sea. Walking inside is like walking in a maze.

If there is no guide, you may not be able to find Bei once you enter.

After looking around, Ember nodded appreciatively. This is indeed a good place to hide. It's no wonder that a pirate can survive next to the battlefield for so long.

Even if he was just picking up trash on the edge of the battlefield.

Going deeper, there are gradually fewer wrecks stranded on the shore, replaced by more wooden boards protruding from the sea.

From a distance, it looks like a rock in the sea, dark and tough.

In the sea surrounded by sunken ships, a large ship appeared quietly swaying with the waves.

The boat is about twenty meters long and several meters wide. The size is just right to hide in this wreckage-strewn sea, if it were any bigger it would be exposed.

"This is where Master Guilong is. We usually do business here."

Seeing the ships docked at the simple dock in the distance, Mita breathed a sigh of relief. As long as you get on the ship, you can exchange the things in your hands for money and food.

As soon as we stepped onto the deck, the scene in front of us immediately became lively.

“For the newly dug medicinal materials, we don’t need mola, we just need grain!”

"Armor! Useful armor! I'll keep you safe and you won't be killed by two swords!"

"A wood chopping knife handed down from our ancestors! It can blow hair and break it easily!"

……

On the deck, various stalls were set up on both sides, with everything on them.

Armor, weapons, medicinal materials...even wood-cleaving knives are all available.

"This is the best trading place nearby. No one dares to make mistakes here." Sanda immediately relaxed a lot when he saw the familiar scene.

These stalls are all supplementary, and most of the transactions are done by Gui Long. After all, only Guilong has the channels and the ability to ensure the quality of transactions.

After all, no one wants to end up with a bag of rancid food for the things they risked their lives to pick up.

Mita excitedly walked towards the cabin, while Yi Yan was also looking at everything around him.

Fortunately, Menggert strengthened his concealment technique before boarding the ship, otherwise the two of them would have been judged again.

There were a lot of stalls, but the stuff was bland. They were all armors, swords and the like, and the medicinal materials sold before were quite small.

But it’s normal to think about it. During the war, the value of medicinal materials was probably second only to food.

Pushing open the door of the boat room, you will see a counter and a big man behind the counter who is writing something at his desk.

"Master Guilong?" Mita came to the counter and lightly knocked on the table.

"Huh? Mita? Didn't you go to scavenge? Why did you come back so quickly?" Guilong, who was at the desk, looked up and saw Mita and others who had just left yesterday.

Then, he noticed Yi Yan and Mengt who were looking around.

"Haha, it seems you are in luck. Go and get things from the warehouse below. Most of you know this by heart. Too much or too little is not good."

"Hey...hey! Don't worry!" Santian nodded a few times and ran to the warehouse below.

"Are you quite generous?" Yi Jin saw Gui Long's movements and asked curiously. The things in Mita's hands are of good and bad quality, and the pricing is very uncertain.

However, Guilong did not lower their price, but instead let them make their own decisions. I have to say that this was a very generous act.

"What's so generous? It's just a stupid idea like using a sword to exchange for a certain amount of food." Gui Long sighed. Only after he got bigger did he realize the importance of knowledge.

The most outstanding point is that now he doesn't even know how to calculate accounts. He can only keep accounts by stipulating how much food a sword can exchange for, how many moras an inch of armor can exchange for, and so on.

Fortunately, the price difference between food and weapons is now large enough, so he can maintain it like this.

Otherwise, he would have gone to drink the northwest wind.

"No wonder you have so many typos in it." Yi Jin glanced at the account book in Gui Long's hand. Not to mention the calculation, Yi Jin found several typos alone.

And it's an obvious typo.

"Ahem! Don't pay too much attention to the details." Guilong blushed when he heard this and quickly closed the ledger on the table.

"You two found me, why?" After sorting out his emotions, Guilong looked at Yu Hu and Mengt and asked.

"I just wanted to come and get to know you."

"???"

Ember spread his hands and said, in fact, he already knew how to get to Fimiki Village when Mita took him to Nashi Beach.

The reason why he followed Mita here in the end was just to meet Gui Long.

"Am I so famous?" Guilong touched his face. Although he was indeed famous, he was only near Nashi Beach.

Why are there still people making a special trip to see him now?

"Forget it, no joke, I want to ask you if there is any way to take us to Feimu Village."

Seeing Guilong's dazed look, Yi Yan stopped joking.

"Fei Mu Village? We have to cross the battle line." Gui Long heard Yu Yan's words and began to frown.

Ember nodded. In addition to meeting this "Ghost Takashi", Ember also wanted to know how ordinary people crossed Nashi Nada.

Nashii Beach is now the front line of the war between the rebels and the shogunate army. It is probably extremely difficult for ordinary people to cross here.

Guilong frowned, knocked on the table and said to the two of them: "There is some trouble."

"Okay, stop pretending to frown, your eyes are squeezed out of your forehead lines." Menggert saw Guilong trying to pretend to be embarrassed and exposed him.

"Ah? My acting skills are so bad?" Guilong opened his eyes that were about to close and said blankly.

I heard that expression management is a necessary skill for big people, so he spent a long time practicing his acting skills.

Unexpectedly, he was exposed ruthlessly by Menggert the first time he showed it.

"It's too deliberate. You can try to relax a little more in the future." Menggert commented, recalling Gui Long's appearance before.

"Forget it, I won't talk to you about this anymore. To be honest, I have a route to Feimu Village tomorrow and can take you there."

"But what price can you offer?"

Guilong put his hands on the counter and said seriously to Ember and Menggert in front of him.

There is a limit to his kindness. Crossing the battle line is extremely dangerous. Every additional person increases the risk.

If there wasn't enough money, he wouldn't do such a thankless thing.

"Is that so? There is a route to Feimu Village tomorrow?"

"Yes, after this time, there won't be any for half a year." Guilong also reminded.

"Okay! Goodbye, I wish you a safe journey!" After saying that, Ember pulled Mengt and ran out.

Gui Long was left alone, sitting at the counter wondering about life.

　I wish all book friends a Happy New Year and a Happy New Year!
