Shared talent: traveling through the heavens and worlds at the same time

Chapter 98 Shieldstown

After a slightly exaggerated celebration, Lin Bei and Sauron each picked up an oar and rowed with all their strength, heading towards the island at full speed.

Although Wangshan was a dead horse, especially on this sea, with the strength of Lin Bei and Sauron, after spending a little time, the two of them quickly arrived at the island.

When the boat docked, Lin Bei and Sauron jumped off the boat at the same time. The feeling of being down to earth made Lin Bei let out a sigh of relief.

Although both of them wanted to go to the town to eat some delicious food as soon as possible, they were both penniless, so before going to eat, they needed to collect more than a dozen people on the boat. All pirates were exchanged for bounties.

"Zoron, go and drive all the pirates off the ship. Let's quickly take them to exchange for the bounty. I can't wait to have a big meal!"

Lin Bei, who had just stretched, turned around and shouted to Sauron.

After hearing this, Sauron showed a questioning expression on his face and looked at Lin Beidao:

"Huh? Why should I go? Can't you go?"

Lin Bei walked toward the interior of the port without looking back, waving as he walked:

"Because I basically captured those pirates! Also, I have to ask for directions first, otherwise do you know where the navy branch is?"

Zoro gave a helpless cry, but retorted with force, so he could only walk to their boat again to bring down the pirates.

As for Lin Bei, after coming out of the small port, he looked around, then found a small town resident who seemed to be easy to talk to, and prepared to inquire about the location of the navy branch.

The target Lin Bei chose was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her twenties, with long shawl hair and a gentle expression unique to Yamato Nadeshiko on her face. She also held a basket in her hand, which seemed to contain some ingredients.

"Hey, this beautiful sister, what do you call her?"

Lin Bei greeted the woman politely when he was far away. The woman didn't seem to know that Lin Bei was calling her at first, so she ignored her. It wasn't until Lin Bei walked up to her that she realized what she was doing. It's calling her.

Then she seemed a little embarrassed to be called beautiful sister by Lin Bei. The woman held her face in her hands and made a shy look and said:

"Ah, are you calling me? My name is Lixiang."

Lin Bei once again showed a sunny smile on his face, and continued to ask with a smile:

"Okay Sister Lilixiang, I would like to ask. I heard that there is a naval branch in this town. Can you tell me where that branch is?"

Hearing Lin Bei mention the navy branch, Lilixiang's face clearly showed a hint of panic. She seemed to be a little afraid of the navy branch, and she even stuttered when she spoke:

"Why are you asking this?"

Lin Bei pointed behind him. At this time, Sauron had just driven off the dozen pirates who were tied up in a string on the ship, and walked in along the wooden bridge of the port.

Lin Bei pointed at Sauron and the group of pirates and said to Lilixiang:

"My junior brother and I are both bounty hunters. We caught some pirates and we are going to the Navy branch to collect the reward."

After Lilixiang looked in the direction pointed by Lin Bei, she also saw Zoro and the dozen or so trapped pirates. There was a hint of hesitation on her face. After struggling for a while, she tactfully spoke. arrive:

"If you want to exchange the bounty, you'd better go elsewhere to exchange it. If you exchange it here, you may not get the full bounty."

At this point, Lilixiang seemed to have some concerns and was unwilling to continue talking. She just looked at Lin Bei with a worried look.

Although it was their first meeting, Lilixiang still had a good impression of Lin Bei, so she gave such an extra reminder, otherwise she would not dare to do this in normal times.

After Lin Bei heard Lilixiang's words, he quickly reacted. It seemed that the so-called Colonel Mengka not only bullied men and women in the small town, but also dared to deduct rewards from the navy?

You must know that bounties are usually issued by the Navy Headquarters. To a certain extent, they also represent the credibility of the Navy. This Colonel Mengka dares to deduct even this.

I can only say that it is true that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. I really regard myself as the local emperor of this place.

But Lin Bei has nothing to do now. He and Sauron have already gone through a lot of hardships to get to this island. If they change to another place, it will really take who knows how long it will take to get there.

Before meeting a reliable navigator, Lin Bei was not going to travel far with Sauron anymore. At most, he would wander around a few nearby islands.

The naval branch here is the only naval branch on the nearby islands.

Thinking of this, Lin Bei could only sigh helplessly towards Lilixiang and said:

"Hey, Miss Liliciang, there's nothing we can do. There are no other naval branches nearby. We don't know how long it will take to get to a place farther away."

Lilixiang looked at Lin Beidao with some confusion after hearing this:

"But I remember that there is a naval branch on another small island about five days away from here. It is the 154th branch there. It is much better than here."

Lin Bei looked slightly embarrassed and said:

"Well, for ordinary people, this trip may take five days, but for us, this distance may take one or two months."

Just at this time, Zoro had also led the group of pirates with a rope to Lin Bei and Lilixiang. He probably heard the previous conversation between Linbei and Lilixiang, and immediately laughed without shame:

"Hahaha, there's nothing I can do about it, miss. This guy is just like me. He loses his bearings when we reach the sea. It's already taken us almost a month to get to this island!"

Lin Bei heard this and slapped Zoro on the back of the head without thinking, and said angrily:

"You have the nerve to say that! After all, I just don't know the way on the sea. You are also a road fool on land!"

After giving the heartless Zoro a lesson, Lin Bei turned to look at Liliciang amidst Zoro's cries of pain and said:

"Miss Liliciang, you have also seen that, just like my junior brother said, the two of us don't know the way at sea, so we can only exchange the bounty here."

Lilixiang hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and finally sighed and said:

"Okay then, come with me."

Later, Lin Bei and Zoro followed Liliciang and walked a few hundred meters outside the port. They came to a street that ran across the entire town. They pointed to a building at the end of the street and said:

"Now, look, that high tower is the naval branch on the island. You just need to walk straight along this street to get there."

Lin Bei and Zoro looked in the direction Lilician pointed, and sure enough they saw a tall tower with green stripes standing in the center of the island in the distance, which seemed to occupy a large position.

The tower seemed to be twenty or thirty meters high. If it hadn't been blocked by the houses on the other side of the port, I would have been able to see the tower from the port.

After finding out the location of the navy branch as he wished, Lin Bei smiled and thanked Li Lixiang:

"Hehe, thank you Miss Lilixiang! By the way, is there a better place to cook in this town? After I exchanged the bounty with my junior brother, I am going to find a place to have a big meal! I hope Lili Miss Xiang can help recommend a good restaurant." Lilixiang, who had a worried look on her face just now, finally showed a happy smile when she heard Lin Bei's words, and said to Lin Bei kindly:

"Oh, is that so? That's a coincidence. My family owns a restaurant! My restaurant is called foodfoo. It's on this street. After you exchange your reward, you can come to my restaurant to eat. The taste will never let you down. Oh!"

Lin Bei was also a little surprised when he heard this. He looked at Lilixiang and said:

"Really? That's great! I can't wait! Then please ask Miss Liliciang to prepare the food first when she goes back. Junior Brother and I will definitely go!"

Zoro, who had just been slapped by Lin Bei and kept silent, couldn't help but interject at this time:

"Yes, yes, Miss Liliciang can make more. Senior brother and I both have huge appetites. We can eat whatever you make!"

Lilixiang covered her mouth and chuckled, then nodded gently and said:

"Okay, then you have to come quickly!"

After saying this, Lilixiang said goodbye to Lin Bei and the others for the time being with the basket of food in her hand, and walked towards a small restaurant not far away.

The name Lili Xiang introduced to them just now is written on the door sign of the restaurant, foodfoo.

Zoro looked at the bustle of people in the restaurant and immediately said with some drooling:

"Oh oh oh, it looks like the food in that restaurant is really good, there are so many customers!"

At this time, Lin Bei was also relying on his strong sense of smell to smell the faint fragrance in the air, drooling a little, and couldn't wait to say:

"Okay, okay, let's quickly take these pirates to exchange for the bounty and then go to dinner!"

Afterwards, Lin Bei and Sauron drove the pirates towards the navy branch.

Of course, this time it was Lin Bei who led the way. Although Lin Bei was a road fool like Sauron at sea and could not tell the difference between east, west and north, on land, Lin Bei was still much more reliable than Sauron.

At least Lin Bei wouldn't be as outrageous as Sauron. He could get lost and run out for two miles even on a 100-meter road.

Don't look at the tall tower of the Navy branch that can be clearly seen even from the port, but without Lin Bei to lead the way, even in this situation, Sauron could get lost and wander off.

Anyway, Lin Bei had no hope at all for Sauron's ability to recognize directions.

Perhaps because the port of the town was originally built for the navy, the port was not far from the navy branch, only a few hundred meters away. Lin Bei and the others did not spend much time arriving at the branch.

From the outside, the height of this tower is definitely a landmark in this small town.

Under this high tower, there is a large square with a cross standing in the middle. It seems to be the place where Zoro was tied up in the plot.

The entire tower and square are completely surrounded by a long wall, and the main entrance of the tower is two huge iron doors. The iron doors are also painted with the Navy's logo and the words "Navy" in huge fonts. Two big characters.

Although it was broad daylight at this time, the huge iron door was completely closed. Fortunately, there were two ordinary marines standing guard at the door, otherwise Lin Bei and the others would not know how to get in.

After explaining their purpose of coming to the two marines, the two ordinary marines did not mean to embarrass Lin Bei and the others. They opened the door and let Lin Bei and the others in.

When Lin Bei and Sauron drove the group of pirates into the navy branch, they found that there was no one in the branch. There was only one man on duty who looked a little careless, like a ruffian and more like a man who had been in the navy.

If this man wasn't wearing a navy uniform, Lin Bei would have thought that this guy was also captured by the navy.

At this time, the marine was sitting behind a desk and sleeping lazily. A chair was so crooked that one couldn't help but worry that he was about to fall down.

Lin Bei looked around and confirmed that there was no one else here who could help them, so he quickly walked forward, knocked on the desk in front of the navy and said:

"Wake up, wake up, get up and get to work!"

The man who was in the navy was awakened by Lin Bei's movements. The already crooked chair fell backwards with a snap, knocking the man upside down.

The navy man whose dream was disturbed was confused for a moment, and then said angrily:

"Who, who disturbed Mr. Chavez's sleep!"

Lin Bei looked helplessly at the furious navy man. Although he had known for a long time that he would most likely not encounter anything good when he came to this town, he did not expect to run into trouble so quickly.

Just by looking at the navy, I knew that the next thing might not be so easy to handle.

The good mood he had just met Lilixiang was completely ruined in an instant. Lin Bei looked at the navy and said angrily:

"I say, Lord Navy, stop making noises, it's time to get up and get to work!"

Hearing Lin Bei's voice, Charles, who was sitting on the ground, looked up and saw Lin Bei standing in front of his desk, and Zoro, who was pulling a group of pirates behind Lin Bei.

Charles seemed to have just realized at this time that he was lazy and sleeping during work. Even if the matter broke out, it would not do him any good, so he no longer looked as angry as before.

However, Mr. Charles was obviously not prepared to look down upon Lin Bei, the person who disturbed his sleep. After he lifted up the chair under him and sat down, Charles said to Lin Bei with a proud look on his face:

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Lin Bei rolled his eyes when he heard this, knowing that this guy was asking questions knowingly, but he still patiently pointed to the group of pirates behind him and answered:

"We are bounty hunters. We just captured a group of pirates, the Green Pepper Pirates, some time ago. According to the previously issued bounty order, the total bounty for these people is 20,000 beli. We brought them here to collect the bounty. !”
