Chapter 229 Storm Sea

Next to a certain street in the harbor town, Wang Zhifan and the other three came to an NPC man who had been observing them for a long time not far away.

It was a red-skinned middle-aged man with sinister features and rough eyes. He had rough skin and was wearing old linen clothes. His body exuded the salty smell brought by sea water. His overall image gave off a bad impression.

"Look, I said that only I know where that island is, right? As long as you give me ten silver coins... no, it must be thirty silver coins, then I can tell you its true location!"

When the red-skinned NPC with sly eyebrows noticed the three people approaching, his face suddenly showed a slightly proud look, and then his eyes quickly swept over Wang Zhifan's extraordinary equipment, especially the four rings on Wang Zhifan's hand. These extraordinary equipment allowed him to open a temporary starting price.

"Can it be cheaper? Thirty silver coins are too expensive."

After hearing this, Wang Zhifan replied with a smile.

"No! The information I know is unique. Thirty silver coins are already very cheap!"

The red-skinned NPC with sinister features and stern eyes answered immediately without giving up.

"Well...it's so expensive that we can only say goodbye."

Although there was still a smile on his face, Wang Zhifan turned around and left with the two people next to him at this time, without any further entanglement with the NPC.

"Hmph... You guys will definitely come to beg me again, and then it will be more than thirty silver coins!"

The obscene NPC wasn't too surprised when he saw this. He crossed his arms and said disdainfully.

But Wang Zhifan still looked like he didn't care much about what he said. He walked straight towards the depths of the town with his two companions.

"Brother Fan, I think we can try to find a shop to sell some unused equipment in exchange for some silver coins to exchange information with that person. Sometimes there is no better way, just let him make some money."

Chen Ming followed Wang Zhifan and gave him suggestions on organizational language.

But before Wang Zhifan could answer him, Chen Can, who was following his brother on the other side, spoke:

"A Ming, first see which way Brother Fan is taking us, then you will know what Brother Fan's intentions are."

"what?"

Chen Ming heard a slight doubt and couldn't help but look at their current direction, and soon discovered that they seemed to be walking on the route leading to the port of this seaport town.

"Oh...Brother Fan, you feel that the person just now should be from the port, so why don't we just go to the port and ask?"

Chen Ming reacted immediately and understood why Wang Zhifan ignored the NPC man just now.

"Hmm... But your suggestion also has merit. It will be more convenient for us to get some money in hand first."

Wang Zhifan nodded slightly, then turned around and walked towards a tavern on the street.

It was a well-decorated tavern, built entirely of solid wood, with beautiful and smooth wave patterns carved on the surface of the wall panels. There were also several clusters of flowers planted on both sides of the wooden door, so that everyone who passed by the door could smell it. A light aroma.

As soon as the three of them entered the tavern, they found that it was quite lively. Many NPCs dressed in different costumes were drinking and chatting with wooden wine glasses. There were only a few empty tables in the entire tavern.

"Look, that guy is here too, and he even drank wine and ate grilled fish!"

The sharp-eyed Chen Ming then discovered that the player who made an impression on the beach today was actually in this tavern. He was the male player with long hair and a beard. He declared that he did not want to do the dungeon mission and was just going to lie down. That one.

"I feel that this person is not as bad as he looks. Maybe he is a hidden expert."

When Chen Can saw this, he lowered his voice and said something. His eyes swept over the sloppy player who was lying on the wooden table, drinking wine and eating fish. He found that the other player sensed something almost instantly. He raised his eyelids and glanced at the three of them. , but that was all. He then turned his attention back to the wooden table.

Only Wang Zhifan seemed to have no interest in this strange player. He led the two of them to the counter of the tavern, then turned to them and asked:

"Are you interested in having a meal? I'll treat you."

"I'm a little interested, but my brother and I entered the book after eating, and we're not very hungry now..."

Chen Ming answered immediately.

"You brat, if Brother Fan wants to eat, of course we have to work together, but Brother Fan, how do you solve the money problem? Just barter with this tavern?"

At this time, Chen Can raised his hand and hit Chen Ming beside him, and asked Wang Zhifan curiously.

"Don't worry, money is not an issue."

He replied with a flat expression and walked straight to the bar counter.

There were currently two NPCs in front of the counter ordering food, so he waited for a while for the two people to finish and leave, then took out a bright yellow gold coin and put it on the counter table. At the same time, he asked the middle-aged white NPC at the counter. said:

"Arrange for us a table of the best wine and meat in your tavern." The middle-aged NPC at the counter was slightly startled when he saw this. He first glanced at the gold coins that Wang Zhifan photographed on the table, and then smiled and replied to him:

"This distinguished guest, the most expensive drinks and meals in our tavern don't cost even one gold orchid coin, ten silver Finn coins are enough."

"Okay, then I'll give you ten silver coins. In addition, in addition to filling our stomachs, we also want to ask you about a place."

Wang Zhifan was a little satisfied with the boss's honest answer, and then took the opportunity to ask him for information. In this situation where the two parties have established a slight relationship of interest, generally speaking, the beneficiary is willing to provide such small help, let alone the tavern. Places with a lot of people talking about them are even better places to get information.

So a short while later, the tavern owner who listened to Wang Zhifan's information about Forbidden Fruit Island quickly frowned slightly and touched his dark brown hair, and replied in a somewhat uncertain tone:

"Distinguished guest, I seem to have only heard about this Forbidden Fruit Island when I was a child. It seems to be mentioned by fishermen who went out to sea. It seems to be some legendary mysterious place in the ocean. I can't remember the details. I wouldn't know it if you don't tell me. I don’t remember such a place...I suggest you go to the pier and ask."

"Thank you."

Although he did not obtain any valuable information from the tavern owner, Wang Zhifan still thanked him, and then the owner gave him change for his gold coins, giving him a full fifty silver coins, and then the three of them found a Sit down at an empty table and wait for your meal.

"Brother Fan, when did you get that gold coin? I haven't seen you selling anything?"

As soon as he sat down, Chen Ming couldn't help but curiously asked Wang Zhifan. He was very confused about when Wang Zhifan had solved the problem of money without anyone noticing, and used gold coins as a high-value currency.

"It's the function of a prop, but unfortunately it's only effective in this instance."

Wang Zhifan simply answered him without revealing his identity as a VIP player.

"Okay, I understand."

Chen Ming saw Wang Zhifan's mysterious expression and immediately knew that this was his personal secret, so he stopped asking further. He still had this common sense.

At this time, Chen Can on the other side gave a suggestion of his own:

"Brother Fan, according to what the tavern owner just said, the target location of this copy is most likely at the pier. The man who asked us for money before is probably from the pier. Do you want us brothers to go and ask first? Anyway, this is It will take a while before the food is served.”

"Don't be impatient. We'll talk about this after we finish eating. The dungeon cannot be impatient now. If you are impatient, you can easily fall into danger due to carelessness."

Wang Zhifan immediately shook his head and rejected him. He understood that although the other party was relatively calm, it was his first time to download the dungeon, so he would be a little excited inside and wanted to advance the progress as quickly as possible.

"Yeah, brother, don't look at it. We don't seem to be in any danger now. In fact, there are not many signs when danger comes in the dungeon. Let's not think about acting alone. We should stay with Brother Fan and be honest. Well, you only have one life."

Chen Ming also reminded Chen Can that as someone who has played several dungeons, he would not ignore any potential threats in the dungeon just because of his temporary comfort.

While several people were talking, the drinks and meals in the tavern were served one after another. There were three kinds of fruit wine, six kinds of fish, three portions of fruits and vegetables, and several large plates of delicious beef and mutton. Wang Zhifan took the lead to inspect them, and then They began to enjoy them one by one, and Chen Ming and Chen Can also ate some in cooperation.

After Wang, whose appetite had already become astonishing, took the lead to eliminate most of them, he led the two of them to get up and leave. At this time, they discovered that the sloppy player with long hair was still drinking at the original table. Eating grilled fish, and the progress is only halfway through, I don’t know how much longer I can linger.

"Is this guy really planning to lie down in this dungeon?"

Several people could not help but have this idea after seeing this, but they did not negotiate further with each other and quickly left the tavern and headed for the port which was not far away.

When they arrived at the target location, they found that the pier of this seaport town was really not small. Not only were there large and small sailboats unloading goods in the bay outside, but there were also people disembarking and boarding boats on the pier, and there were many people near the pier. There are few supporting shops, such as hotels to receive guests, fish shops to sell and collect fish, blacksmith shops to make various weapons, spice shops to sell and buy various spices, and even a shipbuilding factory, but this shipyard The scale is not very large, and the boats built are only small sailing boats.

"Let's first ask the ship owners if they want to go to Forbidden Fruit Island, but the hope is probably very small."

Even though they had expectations in their hearts, Wang Zhifan and others were the first to ask the people who were picking up the passengers on the sailboat. The results of this round of questioning were just as they expected. The shipowners were full of expressions when they saw them approaching. They were all laughing, thinking they were potential customers, but when they said they were going to the Forbidden Fruit Island, they all looked puzzled. If they were good-natured, they would tell them that no one knew where the Forbidden Fruit Island was. Have you been deceived? The bad-tempered person immediately thought that they were here to cause trouble, and almost got angry and started to take action.

"Damn it! Can't this dungeon give us a clear location for us to go there? We have to create this illusory ghost island..."

After a period of unsatisfactory efforts, the first one among the three to feel a little discouraged was the youngest Chen Ming. He could no longer stand the frustration of not being able to detect the required information.

"Don't worry, there will definitely be information. The copy cannot forcefully block us at this stage."

Wang Zhifan can be said to be the calmest among them. His current mentality is quite peaceful. If there is no progress, he just thinks that he has eliminated the wrong options by coming here, and then works hard in other directions.

Not long after, they came to the factory that manufactured small sailboats on the pier and inquired about it from an old man inside as a boat buyer.

The old man from the shipyard had thick hands and feet, rough skin and wrinkles. It looked like he had once made a living on the sea. He suddenly raised this strange question to the people in front of him who took out gold coins and wanted to buy a ship. The information revealed was more than There were more people before.

"Forbidden Fruit Island... I haven't heard anyone mention this name for many years... The first time I heard about it was when I went to sea once when I was young... At that time, a drunk sailor told us about it The legend of this island arose... It is said that this Forbidden Fruit Island is located in the vast stormy waters deep in the ocean. It is only the size of a small town. The most violent storms are always blowing around it, and huge waves can easily overturn ships. Only the most powerful Only the luckiest and bravest sailors can see it... According to what he said, the Forbidden Fruit Island is full of a magical fruit, called the Forbidden Fruit. This fruit can glow, making the entire Forbidden Fruit Island glow slightly at night. ...Of course, all this is what the old man and I heard from the sailor, and there is no guarantee that it is true. The Forbidden Fruit Island may be just a legend and does not really exist. You should not enter the stormy sea just for it, it is very dangerous there."

At the end of the sentence, the old man who sold the boat reminded Wang Zhifan and others not to think about entering the so-called Storm Sea where the Forbidden Fruit Island is hidden, but it was obvious that Wang Zhifan and others did not care about this, so they then asked the old man about the Storm Sea. specific location.

The old man couldn't help but sigh helplessly, but seeing that these people had the intention to buy a boat, he gave them some pointers.

"The edge of the Sea of ​​Storms is located to the west of this town. It is at least a month's boat ride away from here. It is a very large area, not a small area. There are strong winds all year round, and the waves are sometimes larger than those of large ships. The sails are high, and when the wind and waves are light, it will not exceed three days a year. You should give up the idea of ​​going there as soon as possible. Currently, no shipyard dares to say that its ship can sail through the stormy sea smoothly. Only the most desperate pirates will come. There are activities there…”

After hearing what the old man said, Wang Zhifan and others felt that Forbidden Fruit Island finally had some clues. In order to express his gratitude, Wang Zhifan gave the old man ten silver coins as a consultation fee, but in the end he did not choose to buy a boat here.
