Doomsday Totem

66 Tradition
"It is said that the defenders on a nearby island have withdrawn. Is this news reliable?" Tie Slag asked.

"I heard that it seems to be the Silver City Defense Team of the Western Continent." The boss couldn't help but interjected.He has been listening to them with his ears upright, and if the two fight, he can escape immediately.

"I've heard about it too, but..." the captain paused, and said, "If the information is wrong, we're going to throw ourselves into a trap." After speaking, the captain took out the nautical chart from his pocket, spread it on the table, and Point out the location of the rumored island and do some analysis.

This is a small island with an area of ​​less than one square kilometer. There is a Silver City garrison from the western mainland stationed there. The task is to protect the research ships exploring in the Black Sea.

Three months ago, the garrison team sent people to Luoyan Town and asked the "Fisherman's Home" to help them search for several research ships that disappeared in the Black Triangle waters.Therefore, the rumors about the evacuation are not groundless.

However, this does not rule out the possibility of being a trap.The strategy used by the Yincheng military to eliminate pirates is usually to throw out a sweet date first, attracting the pirates to flock to them, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop.Moreover, the way they identify pirates is very rough, as long as they are attracted by bait, they will be regarded as pirates, and they will shoot directly, without even giving them a chance to defend themselves.

"It's really not a thing! They don't treat people as people anymore. If it was a few hundred years ago, even a serious criminal would have to go through a court trial to be convicted." The bar owner said with righteous indignation.

"Don't ask too much. This is a world where the weak are prey to the strong. It's kind enough that they didn't wipe out all the people below us," the captain said.

"En." Tie Slag nodded in agreement.

"You..." The bar owner was so choked that he couldn't speak, and couldn't reason with the two robbers.

"Is there any other way? Let's talk about it." The captain suggested.Both the bar owner and the accountant shook their heads. The former rarely went out, while the latter stayed with the captain every day and had no new information.

"I heard that Lisbon Bar is recruiting sailors, and Horton's is recruiting chefs." Iron Slag said.He has just come here not long ago, and he is not familiar with the place, so this is the only information he has.

"Is someone recruiting in Lisbon?" The captain smiled and greeted, "Brothers, go to make money." After speaking, he took the iron slag and the accountant out and went to the center of the town.

"Lisbon" is one of the largest bars in Luoyan Town. It is located in the maid's square in the center of the town. It is named after the home of the navigator in mythology. It has a history of hundreds of years in Luoyan Town.

Even in such a cold morning, Lisbon is still full of people and lively.The huge bar was brightly lit, with burning braziers hanging everywhere, and hundreds of tables, large and small, were full of guests.Some male waiters wearing little red vests and carrying discs were going back and forth between the dining tables.Other bunny girls wearing dark tights and showing big white legs are holding magnums in their arms, crowded in the place with the most people, selling alcohol hard while being mobbed.Looking up, there are five to six hundred people here.

However, the most lively place is the small stage in the middle.Three good-looking, scantily clad girls are wriggling their young and beautiful bodies on the stage.People crowded around the edge of the stage, shouting and yelling at the girls.

On the other side of the stage is a large round table, on which is a half-person-high wooden sign, which reads - The large fishing boat Starchaser recruits a number of sailors. bonus!

The captain of Starchaser sat at the round table, happily admiring the dancing girls on the stage.At this moment, suddenly there was a loud shout, the voice was like a broken gong hitting rotten iron, it was extremely unpleasant.

"Senior veteran captain, former captain of Yulong, and current captain of Beidou frigate, Xia Yihan, recruits a large number of sailors, and invites all friends to join hands! Across the seven seas!"

Following the sound, three men walked towards the middle of the hall.

With a sound of "bang bang!", the captain of the Starchaser suddenly smashed his wine glass and stood up, cursing loudly, "Who is not long-sighted to steal business! I'll kill him!" According to the industry rules of deep-sea fishermen, when a The captain recruits sailors in the bar, and the other captain should consciously change places.

"Your family opened this place!" The captain greeted him.

"You follower! Wherever others go, you follow." "You are a brainless, brainless, brain-deficient, brain-deficient stroke, and you have brain cramps and brain-cramping idiots!"

The war between deep-sea fishermen often starts with the duel between the captains, and the duel between the captains often starts with the scolding.This is the consistent tradition of deep-sea fishermen. Of course, there are some outliers who don't respect this ancient tradition.For example, poisonous spiders, she usually does not say a word, directly.However, in this sea area, few people dare to raise objections to this point.

"You look particularly wretched like this. No wonder people say you are the most wretched captain in the Black Sea! No one!" The captain of the Chaser star pointed at Captain Xia Yihan's nose and cursed.

"Last time I heard that you don't do business with others after you give them money. Is that true?" Captain Xia Yihan asked casually.

"You! You!" The captain of the Starchaser was shaking with anger, his face turned pale, and he pointed at Captain Xia Yihan, speechless for a long time.Those words hurt him deeply.All along, he thought he was handsome and handsome, but he didn't have the slightest chance of being a woman, and he was still an older single man.

At this time, a tall and strong man stepped over the captain of the Starchaser and stood in front of Captain Xia Yihan, looking down on him condescendingly.

This is the second stage of the deep-sea fisherman's war, commonly known as "fighting first mate".

The captain glanced back at Tie Slag, but Tie Slag remained indifferent, and had no intention of interfering at all.The captain was in a hurry and winked desperately, Tie Slag asked lazily, "How much?" The captain compared two fingers, Tie Slag shook his head.The captain gestured three more fingers, and Iron Slag finally stepped forward and confronted the strong man.

The brawny man shouted violently, and swung his big fists to hit Iron Slag's face!Iron Slag remained motionless, but raised his head and glanced at him.This glance, like a gaze from hell, abruptly stopped his fist.He felt as if he had been drenched in icy water, and he felt chills all over his body, so he took a step back involuntarily.This is the instinct of a creature, a strong sense of crisis when facing a powerful creature.But he is a simple and honest person. Since he receives money from others, he must help them eliminate disasters.Therefore, he bit the bullet and let out a low growl, and punched him again!

Iron Slag remained motionless, just watching the fist hit.The fist finally stopped in front of his eyes, unable to move any further.

In the eyes of the onlookers, it seemed that there was an invisible force that stopped the punch of the fist.Only the strong man himself knows that he has lost the courage to attack.Facing such a fierce god, he could not exert any strength at all.

Seeing that the situation was over, the captain of the Starchaser said, "I'll be back!" and then turned and ran away.Half an hour later, he really came back, and he brought a large group of burly men with him.If quality can't win, use quantity!Only by being flexible can one survive, this is the law of the deep sea.

This group of brawny men, all of them have bronze skin and solid muscles, they can be seen to be as strong as cattle at a glance, and they are people who often do physical work.

Now is the third stage of the deep-sea fisherman's war - gang fights.

"Go!" The captain of the Starchaser pointed forward and ordered.

However, the scene was quiet, and there were no shouts and fights as imagined.The strong man who took the lead waved to Tie Zha, called "Brother Tie", and led them away.The captain of the Starchaser chased him out and asked, "What are you doing? I will pay you."

The strong man who took the lead replied, "You admit it, we can't afford to mess with that person. He was carrying three boxes by himself at the pier. Our group is not enough for him to fit his teeth."

The captain of the Starchaser returned to the bar dejectedly, and started the fourth stage of the deep-sea fisherman's war-negotiation.

"Captain Xia, please accept my sincerity." The captain of Starchaser stuffed 2 gold coins over.

"Too little..." "It's not easy to make a living in the Black Sea." "It's still too little..." "Captain Xia looks like a hero." "Really?" "Really... "

After two hours of negotiation, the captain got 5 golds, one step closer to the goal (169 plus 5 golds).

Back to the giant wooden wine barrel, Iron Slag stretched out his hand, and the captain had to give 3 gold, a step back (174 minus 3, 171 gold).

The owner of the bar saw that the captain was distributing the money, so he asked for accommodation and food expenses, and threatened that he would not cook dinner if he could not receive the money.

Next, the three of them went back to their rooms to sleep.The captain and the accountant tossed about for two days and two nights, and were so sleepy that they couldn't sleep anymore, while Iron Slag worked as a porter for a day, so tired that he couldn't make up for a night of sleep.

silent night...

The next morning, Tie Slag went to the trading market and exchanged the 3 gold earned yesterday and the 9 silver earned as a porter the day before yesterday into 13 yuan compressed biscuits. Together with the previous collection, there were 69 yuan in total.If you only eat two yuan a day, you can survive for more than a month on the road.

However, from the Snowy Night Ice Field to the Phikris Mountains, then to the Great Ice Ocean and the Far North, the end is the end of the world.There is a long way to go, and I don't know how long it will take to get there.Therefore, now we can only prepare as much as possible, and then we will see if we can catch prey on the road.According to the bar owner, although the Snowy Night Ice Field is not suitable for human survival, there are other creatures, such as the snowy giant bear several meters high, the Snowy Night elk that runs faster than a locomotive, and the ice field snow wolf in groups... …

In addition, it is said that there are ancient mammoths and glacier saber-toothed tigers in the mountains of Feili Mountain...

However, when encountering these pre-epoch beasts, it is really unclear who hunted whom.
