After the Legend Chapter 54: Outlander

Manado is located at the mouth of the Manado River, and the largest river in Ist passes through the capital Ito. It stands to reason that the port of Manado should be a large port no less than Doro, but in fact, it is a little smaller than Gutenberg. There are many ships, and the traffic is busy. Countless cargo ships and merchant ships from the upper and middle reaches of the river take this place as a transit point and turn to the port of Matt, 30 kilometers north.

It is said that Manado was the domain of a certain prince two hundred years ago. The prince had the intention of rebelling. Although he did not succeed, the king vigorously developed Matt with a better seaport in order to suppress his power and gave up The city of Manado, which entered the sea, was only developed into a transit port after the territory was recovered.

Autumn and winter are not the peak season for maritime trade, and the port is somewhat desolate, with only a few dozen inland ships parked at the pier. At lunchtime, the workers rested and gathered in bars and restaurants large and small, gossiping while filling their stomachs.

At this time, Ming Na pulled her grandpa into a tavern. After a long time, she also knew that every time Grandpa went to a new place, if he didn't go to the local branch of the Xiao family, he would go to the local tavern to eat and inquire about news. There is no Xiao family branch in Manado, only a simple office. They didn't go there. They just wanted to find a place to eat and set off for Matt Harbor.

When they walked into the tavern, all the people inside suddenly looked over and exclaimed with joy, "It's finally here, we've been waiting for a long time!"

Xiao Tianjian looked at his granddaughter helplessly, and whispered: "Being a hero is so annoying..." Before he finished speaking, a voice came from behind him: "What are you waiting for? What do you want to inquire about?" Xiao Tianjian's face stiffened, and he was immediately pushed aside by someone. A fat man walked into the door and was immediately surrounded by people in the store enthusiastically.

Ming Na glanced at Grandpa's depressed expression, laughed secretly, and was knocked on the head by him: "Quickly find a seat, what are you doing standing here?!" In fact, Xiao Tianjian blushed.

The grandfather and grandson sat down and finally called the clerk who was attracted by the fat man over to order food, and then they noticed the conversation between the fat man and the others.

"...So, those treasures were left to you by that foreigner when he died? Where is he from?"

"I don't know either." The fat man said, "He looks similar to us, with black eyes, yellow hair, but black roots, very young, I don't think he is eighteen years old. , thin, small and weak. I can't understand what he said, he kept talking nonsense when he had a fever, what did he say..." He said a few words, which seemed to be "Wow", "Ye", "Yes", "Seven", no one else understands.

"I said... this guy doesn't know the common language, is he from another continent? Tell me, where did you find him?" someone said.

The fat man said: "At the seaside, I originally thought he was from Bath, aren't there many Bath people who were sold to the mainland as slaves? But then I didn't think so. At that time, he passed out in a small On the boat, he seems to have been hungry for several days, and he was seriously injured.

"You are kind, and you didn't suffer." Others sneered, "I heard that he has a lot of treasures on his body. When a person dies, they are taken away by you and sent to Wood's auction house. I heard that Boss Wood Asking for a thousand gold coins, isn't it?"

Everyone exclaimed, a thousand gold coins is really a lot. For a hard worker like them, it is a huge wealth that they can't even imagine.

However, the fat man seemed unsatisfied: "What is a thousand gold coins? A big boss said that ten thousand gold coins are too little in a big city like Matt or Ito. Wood Auction House wants to It is impossible for me to agree to buy my treasure at a low price.”

Everyone was even more astonished. With ten thousand gold coins, isn't that something only a noble master can have? Someone whispered to persuade Fatty to stop being greedy, but he didn't take it seriously. Another person said: "No matter how much you can sell, let us see what the treasure looks like, let's open our eyes." Everyone agreed in unison.

The fat man said contemptuously: "You poor bastards, the treasures have already been sent to the auction house, how could it be possible for you to see them?" Showing a smug smile: "But... I have a gadget left here. I originally planned to keep it for myself..."

The crowd immediately crowded in front of him, and Minna, who had been listening in her seat, also probed with interest. Xiao Tianjian suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart. He was just listening casually, but now he also stood up and walked a few steps in Fatty's direction.

The thing the fat man took out was a flat cuboid less than ten centimeters long and **** wide, a blue transparent tube filled with colorless liquid, the stopper was made of silver metal, and there was a The small black flaky mechanism, when Fatty pressed the button, the end of the plug would burst into flames. It was five or six centimeters high, and everyone was amazed.

Ming Na is also sighing that she has never been able to learn fire magic. If you have this thing, it seems that you can set fire without magic.

And Xiao Tianjian was already stunned.

That thing is clearly a lighter.

Ming Na watched with interest the discussion of the group of people not far away, secretly judging what the thing in the fat man's hand was made of. The blue transparent flat square tube didn't look like crystals and gems. The stopper is also not silver, and the liquid in the tube is unknown, but it seems to be related to the fire coming out of the mouth of the tube. Could this be an alchemical product? Is there any other function besides ignition? If it can only be ignited, it is a bit similar to a product made by alchemist Hanlin, except that it is larger than this and has more lighting functions. It uses fire-type spar fragments as energy.

The conversation among the drinkers continues. The fat man said proudly: "This is a good thing, magician, you know? They can make fire at any time, but with this, even ordinary people like us can set fire anytime, anywhere."

"Isn't that about the same as flint?" someone asked.

The fat man blushed immediately: "Nonsense! How does this compare to something like flint?! See? It's made of sapphire!"

Others were amazed again, and wanted to get close to touch it, but the fat man refused, thinking that they would soil their treasures. Some people were unhappy and said, "So baby, why don't you just send it to Mr. Wood together? Maybe it can be sold for a few hundred gold coins."

Someone sneered: "Mr. Wood is not a fool, why would he pay for this thing? I think it has no use other than ignition, it is worth a few gold coins at most, there is so much money, enough to buy A boat of flint."

These words seemed to hit the fat man's mind, he said angrily: "You poor **** have no vision, I don't have the same knowledge as you! If I hadn't thought that someone from the outsider's house might come to the door, I would have I won't leave this treasure, but Mr. Wood gave out a few hundred gold coins, and I'm not willing to sell it!" Everyone was dubious when they heard it.

Ming Na had already returned to her seat, snickering secretly. Hanlin's ignition stick sold for only two silver coins apiece, the least valuable of his works. The thing in the fat man's hand is not made of sapphire at all. If it can only be used for ignition, even if it is novel, it may not be able to sell a gold coin. Flint is also convenient and inexpensive to use. If that Mr. Wood was a competent businessman, he would never have spent money on such a thing. This fat man is just bragging.

She quietly said to Xiao Tianjian, "Grandpa, that fat man is lying." She waited for a while, but she didn't see any response from Grandpa, and turned to look at him strangely, only to see him staring blankly at Fatty and his hands. something inside, the expression on his face changed. She asked suspiciously: "Grandpa, what are you thinking?"

Xiao Tianjian woke up, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just... think that thing is quite interesting." Ming Na was even more suspicious, what's so interesting? She glanced at him a few times, but saw nothing. At this time, the clerk brought the food they ordered. Her stomach was grumbling early, and she hurriedly buried her head to eat.

Xiao Tianjian drank the wine quietly, suppressing the excitement in his heart. That one is indeed a lighter, so it is very likely that the foreigner that the fat man was talking about came from across the country! Black eyes, dyed black hair, and the sentence he said was clearly "I want to go back", so he must be Chinese! He has lived in this world for decades, and he has been looking forward to it. If he can't go back, at least one more person can be with him. I didn't expect to meet him today!

Unfortunately, that person is already dead...

Xiao Tianjian felt an indescribable sadness in his heart, but soon he thought again that when he came here, he fell in the great forest of Yarrow because there was "that" in the forest, and this compatriot appeared by the seaside in Manado , Is there a "that" here too?

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a sudden noise at the entrance of the tavern, and a group of big men rushed in, aggressively pushing away the other drinkers, and rushed straight to the fat man. Everyone in the store was taken aback, and hurriedly retreated to the side.

The fat man was arguing with people about the value of the lighter. Seeing this situation, he was at a loss. He hurriedly smiled and bowed to the people who came to him: "Mr. Deputy Steward, are you looking for me?"

"You liar!" The tall, thin man headed by the group of big men angrily threw a small bag of things on the fat man, "How dare you run up to our boss to cheat money?! Your so-called treasures are simply fake. Yes! What can glow, sing, and draw a portrait in an instant... What did you do when you demonstrated? Our boss just wanted to play, but found that they wouldn't move at all!"

The parcels are scattered on the ground, revealing two odd objects. Xiao Tianjian had sharp eyes and recognized that it was a mobile phone and an MP4.

"How could it be possible..." The fat man shivered and picked up the phone and MP4, and pressed it a few times. The phone didn't respond, but the MP4 screen turned on. He happily said, "Look at you, it's on... ..." The light suddenly disappeared, his face turned pale, and he kept pressing various buttons, but the MP4 never came on again.

The people around were talking in a low voice, Fatty listened and trembled even more: "This is impossible, I obviously... I have tried it several times... Deputy Steward, you have seen it with your own eyes, I have not Liar, it really lights up and sings..."

The steward gave him a scornful look: "Liar! Return the deposit quickly! Also, you are a crime! If you don't want to go to jail, lose money!"

The fat man was sweating profusely. Hearing some people talking about how generous he was spending the past two days, his legs were weak, and he suddenly remembered: "How many other things are there? That little crystal ball ornament that glows, Brown crystal glasses, high-grade tobacco, and that leather bag..." He took out the lighter he had just shown off: "This is also worth a lot of money."

The deputy steward quickly grabbed the lighter~IndoMTL.com~ and stuffed it into his pocket: "How much are these things worth?! It's not even enough to pay a fine!" Bind him up! Take him back to apologize to the boss!"

The big guys **** the fat man with all his hands, and when they saw him struggling and shouting, they took off his hat and gagged his mouth, and left the pub behind the deputy steward. The people in the store didn't dare to say anything to stop them during the whole process, and they only became commotion when they went out.

Ming Na saw it next to her and thought that although the fat man was not likable, it was even more annoying that the deputy manager hurriedly kidnapped people. It's too much to be deceived, even if you get your deposit back, to actually swallow other people's things!

She got close to Grandpa and was about to say something, but saw that he got up at an unknown time and was walking out the door, and hurriedly grabbed him: "Grandpa, where are you going?" Could it be that Grandpa wants to save that fat man ? She rolled her eyes and grinned, "I'm going too!"

Xiao Tianjian looked down at his granddaughter, and suddenly realized that this trip was different from the past two years. He also had a child who was less than ten years old and could not leave her alone in such an unfamiliar place. But you can't take her to places where the situation is unknown. But that fat man is likely to have clues about his compatriots, how could he just let it go?

With this hesitation, Fatty was escorted by the group and disappeared on the street corner. Xiao Tianjian sighed and patted his granddaughter's head: "Where are you going, little devil..."

Minna glanced at him and knew that he was pretending, but even if Grandpa couldn't keep up, it didn't mean they couldn't find a place. She beckoned to a clerk, put a silver coin in it, and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, who were those people just now?"
