I'm sorry, I want to be a new person

I don't know if the creatures in the ocean farther away are the same.

On the morning of the third day, the coastline gradually appeared in the distance, and it took another hour before the "Conch" arrived at the destination of the first stage, the Dongfu Islands.

Since the period of the "Pangolin Project", Kyushu has been more concerned about the "Dongfu Islands", and has done a lot of work in the past two years.

For example, the island in front of me is called "Big Turtle Island", and a simple deep-water port has been established.

It is said that "Big Turtle Island" was translated from the language of the Dongfu Islands, because the shape resembles the head of a giant tortoise, and the word "head" was included in the name before, but it was too ugly, so it was omitted in the translation.

The conditions of this deep-water port are simple, and even many structures are made of wood, but due to natural conditions, it is already possible to moor large ships, and some people from Kyushu are stationed here, all of them depart from Guanzhou and detour to the Far East.

There are quite a lot of people in the port. It can be seen that in addition to people from Kyushu, there are also some local residents of the Dongfu Islands who are selling various things, and it feels like a busy city.

The Conch slowly landed and stopped, and several people from Kyushu were already waiting below.

A middle-aged man with a dark complexion saluted, and then said with a smile: "It made me laugh, it's a bit messy."

It is very difficult to establish a permanent port in such a remote place. The most troublesome thing is the limitation of manpower and material resources, and the shortage of food.

Therefore, Kyushu adopted the method of cooperating with the local people, using the small commodities and metal items that are scarce in the Dongfu Islands, and trading with the local people in exchange for manpower and food supplements. After a long time, people from nearby islands came here to set up stalls .

Considering that now is the time to build a good relationship with the aborigines, the person in charge of the port did not prohibit such behavior, but only designated a special area so as not to affect the normal work of the port.

Neither Ye Da nor Wang Baozhu was going to intervene in the navy, so let the captain Zheng Hongliang handle it himself.

They will rest here for a day and set off tomorrow morning after completing supplies.

In addition to precious fuel, spare parts, and military supplies, the various mountain and sea goods sold by the people of the Dongfu Islands can also be filled into the storage content of the Conch.

The chef who "boils soup" is delicious and took the kitchen team to see the fish catch.

Chapter 344 Strange Trade Behavior

Ye Da felt curious and walked into the area specially set up for stalls. The person in charge of the port even sent a translator to follow.

"*%￥@￥%?"

A local aunt pointed to a basket of unknown fruits in her hand and smiled at Ye Da.

The interpreter on the side said: "She said this is delicious and sweet."

Ye Da asked curiously, "How much?"

The interpreter shook his head and said: "Generally, they don't want money, they just want to barter. Dongfu Archipelago's coins are illegally coined, and their credibility is not high. People with high status will directly use gold and silver for trading and storage. Most ordinary people are used to bartering. Goods, I have eaten this fruit, and it tastes good."

As he said that, he took out a handful of candy from his pocket, which was the kind of cheap candy that is very common in Kyushu, and it should be something in the translator's own quota.

The translator picked five, and the aunt said something, the translator simply added two more, and then the aunt happily gave them all the baskets.

Ye Da was surprised: "Seven or eight candies can be exchanged for such a big basket of fruit?"

The translator explained: "They won't eat it, but they will take it farther and sell it to the rich. The reward is much higher than that of fruit. Candy is easy to sell and easy to carry and store. A welcome barter."

"Every time we come out, we carry some in our pockets, which is no different from carrying money. We are also willing to do this. The pressure on supplies is much less, and more candy can be exchanged for various supplies. Other small spoons and the like Metal utensils are also hard currency."

As he spoke, he gave Ye Da a handful of candies.

Ye Da held the candy, feeling very novel, like wandering around a market.

Most people in the Dongfu Islands sell food, including fresh fish, salted fish, melons, fruits, vegetables, etc. Most of them, Ye Da, can't name them.

Densely packed wooden boats are docked at a corner of the port. Some people take up positions on the shore to sell, and some people simply put things on the boats.

Ye Da changed a few fruits he hadn't seen before, and the taste was not bad. Since the currency was candy, he couldn't tell whether the price was expensive or not.

In addition to selling things to Kyushu people, the vendors here will also trade with each other. Obviously, this port has become an important trade distribution center in the surrounding area.

At the end of the market, Ye Da saw a strange stall. The stall owner spread a straw mat on the bow of his boat, but what he sold was not food, but some corals, shells, and strange stones.

Ye Da squatted down and took a look. It seemed that they were all found at the bottom of the sea. It was hard to say what special value they had, but they were all pretty good-looking, especially a few pieces of coral, which would not be cheap in Kyushu, but that’s all for now.

The front of this stall was deserted and deserted, and it was not as lively as other stalls. The stall owner was a middle-aged man, thin and small. He should have picked up these by diving.

Ye Da picked out a stone with a beautiful pattern and was about to buy it for Liu Xiaoqian, but when he was about to "pay the sugar", he thought of something.

He took out a small light blue shell from his pocket and showed it to the stall owner: "Do you know this thing?"

This person should be good at water, and he has been picking up things on the bottom of the Dongfu Islands all year round, so he might know something.

The translator said something to the stall owner, and the stall owner took the small shell and looked at it carefully in his palm.

I watched it for a long time.

After watching it for too long, the translator asked:

"%￥#@&...!"

Unexpectedly, the next moment, the stall owner jumped into the sea holding the shells.

"???"

This change stunned everyone around.

"not good!"

Only Ye Da came to his senses, sneered, stretched out his right hand, and grabbed directly at the surface of the sea.

A large vortex suddenly appeared on the sea surface, and the surrounding wooden boats shook violently and were pulled towards the center of the vortex.

Fortunately, this change didn't last long, and soon the stall owner was entangled by a stream of water and was caught out of the water.

The stall owner obviously didn't expect Ye Da to have this ability, and he struggled hard but couldn't break free.

As if he knew how serious his behavior was, he rolled his eyes and swallowed the light blue shell.

Ye Da frowned slightly, and manipulated the water flow to send the stall owner to the shore.

The translator immediately asked a few words in the language of the Dongfu Islands, but the stall owner just gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Ye Da snorted coldly, and used the puppet method to control the stall owner, making him retch constantly.

"Ugh~~! Ugh~!!..."

The series of retching became more and more intense, and finally the man had difficulty breathing.

Finally, with a pool of filth, the man involuntarily spat out the light blue shell.

Using seawater to wash the ground clean, Ye Da endured disgust and took back the shells.

"What does that mean? A robber?"

The interpreter was also very angry: "They also committed crimes before, but they were all local people. No one dared to attack people from Kyushu. I don't recognize this guy. He seems to have just arrived."

Soon, a port officer from the Kyushu side tied up this person.

Ye Da didn't care too much about this person's motives. He probably wanted to make money, but he probably knew what blue shells were, which was very important.

Take it back for a trial, maybe you will find out.

With this "robber", Ye Da and others went to the port station, and the person in charge came after hearing the news: "What's going on?"

The interpreter explained a few words, the person in charge didn't know what the shell was, but this kind of behavior obviously broke the rules of the port and must be severely punished, otherwise other vendors who set up stalls might follow suit.

The "robber" didn't say a word all the way, as if he no longer had any hope of escaping, no matter what the interpreter asked, he didn't answer the question.

Ye Da asked, "Is there an interrogation room? I'll try it, but I need your cooperation."

The official translator said: "There is no special interrogation room..."

"Then here it is...you just ask, and he will answer, sooner or later."

Saying that Ye Da deducted a seal, the fluctuation of the "Scary Curse" rushed to the middle-aged man.

The man shivered suddenly, and then a lot of cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.

The translator asked a few questions suspiciously, but at first the man was still biting his tongue.

But soon as Ye Da gradually increased the force of the "Scary Curse", fear gradually overcame reason, and he stuttered and began to reply.

After a while, the translator said in surprise, "He is actually from Sagara's family..."

Ye Da asked, "Sagara? The surname of Dongfu Islands?"

The interpreter nodded and said: "Yes, the nearby sea area was previously considered the sphere of influence of the Sagara family. They are the only three families in the Dongfu Islands that have extraordinary methods. It is said that the methods were passed down from Kyushu hundreds of years ago. We are now in a cooperative relationship, and the relationship is not bad."

"So this person is a spy sent by the Sagara family?"

The interpreter shook his head and said, "No, he said that he was an abandoned son of the Sagara family and was abandoned by the Sagara family. He robbed this shell because he had seen this kind of thing when he was in the Sagara family and wanted to rely on this for revenge."

Ye Da rolled his eyes, this is some kind of bullshit story.

"Then does he know what this shell is?"

"He just saw it and knew it was very precious. The Sagara family treasured it like a treasure."

Chapter 345 The Sagara Family

It didn't take long for the middle-aged man to finish his reply before he passed out in great fear.

If he is not a person with a mind as firm as a rock, Lu is a big boss who has honed his sword for decades.Then what is said in fear should be believable.

After the person in charge of the port knew the whole story, he immediately sent someone to contact the so-called Sagara family.

Whether it is the so-called "abandoned son of the Sagara family" or the true identity of the blue shell, it needs someone from the Sagara family to explain.

This family is on a large island not far from "Big Turtle Island". If all goes well, they should arrive tomorrow.

In this way, the departure time of the "Conch" may need to be postponed, but it is an ocean-going mission, and depending on the situation, there is not much difference between one day and one day, and it can just improve the supply work.

Ye Da became more and more curious about the origin of the blue shells.

To be honest, if it wasn't packed in an exaggerated white jade box, Ye Da might even throw it away.

The dinner was prepared by the port side, and it was considered a welcome banquet. It was quite a big scene, and Ye Da and his party also participated in it.

The food is basically made from local materials, and there are many new things. Even the wine is a specialty of Dongfu Islands.

Ren Shilin fought fiercely all night, and once again liked to mention the "hangover" debuff, Ye Da said that he would never save him again.

After this guy was promoted to S rank, he was a little bit flustered. Tomorrow, I can practice with him and beat him.

Early the next morning, Ren Shilin was sneaked by Ye Dati to the open space behind the port.

Both sides were unarmed, and Ren Shilin was beaten and ran around.

"Boss! I'm not a melee character either, it's not fair..."

Ye Da said with a blank expression: "What? You want to use the spirit enlightenment ability? I have no problem, do you want to go together?"

With a bitter face, Ren Shilin recalled the past of Hailong Research Base.

Forget it, now that he is sparring with bare hands, the boss at least puts in his strength.

If you use your ability, it will be different...

Half an hour later, Ren Shilin lay directly on the ground panting.

Ye Da said: "No matter how idle it is, it's also during the mission. Didn't you notice that neither Senior Wang Baozhu nor the other people in the port opened their mouths to drink?"

"You are the only drunk among so many people. From today until you return to Kyushu, don't drink any more."

Ren Shilin waved his hand weakly: "Don't drink it, don't drink it anymore, in fact, I feel uncomfortable too...vomit~!!"

When Ye Da returned to the port, the interpreter from yesterday ran over and said, "Colonel Ye, the Sagara family is here."

Ye Da nodded and followed the translator.

In the conference room, three strangely dressed people sat nervously.

Different from the commoners who set up stalls, these three people from the Dongfu Islands wore white robes and black gauze hats on their heads.

The overall style is somewhat similar to the ancient system of Kyushu, but it is specious.

Among the three people were two men and one woman, one of the two men was about 40 years old and the other was 30 years old, and the woman seemed to be under 20 years old.

The three of them all looked a little dusty, as if they had rushed here overnight.

They didn't know Ye Da either. Seeing Ye Da coming in, because his face was too young, they didn't pay much attention to it. They were all focused on talking with the person in charge of the port.

The person in charge of the port was about to stand up to say hello, but Ye Da raised his hand and pushed him down.

Ye Da couldn't understand the language of the Dongfu Islands, but he was not in a hurry. He found a seat and sat down, and said to the interpreter, "These should be the upper-class people in the Dongfu Islands."

The translator nodded: "Yes, there are only three families with a stable and extraordinary inheritance in the Dongfu Islands. They existed before the wall of gray mist rose. They have mastered many islands and resources, and they have a strong influence in the Dongfu Islands. .”
