Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 353: Tani
Buying a batch of precision maps is already an unexpected gain.
Su Lun walked around the flea market, but didn't find anything he liked, so he returned to the Golden City Walled City.
After buying the materials, he still needs to get some information.
For example, news about the Cyclops, as well as the whereabouts of the Daru tribe’s holy relic [Farr’s Holy Grail] and the last [Black Sam’s Curse Gold Coin]
Because Oleg became king, the situation in Beihai changed drastically, and neutral organizations such as the "Adventurers Guild", "Professional Guild" and "Alchemy Guild" also came over.
There are many more intelligence dealers, and it is much easier to inquire about information.
Things that can be done with money can always save a lot of effort.
Su Lun placed bounties on major trade unions, and then went to a tavern to wait for news
The "Blacksmith Tavern" is a low-end pirate tavern in the city and also a pirate talent market.
There are often a group of experienced sailors, cooks, gunners or newcomers who have no fixed owner.
Pirate captains often come to pick people.
Suellen sat by the window, ordered a glass of rum and drank it slowly.
"It's strange, no one is interested in that gold coin?"
Su Lun has just received the news that the last [Black Sam's Curse Gold Coin] is in the hands of a man named "Gurlin Tani".
In fact, he had heard about this news before going to Shanyin, but that "Tani" seemed to have gone to sea at that time and was not in the walled city... Now it is said that he is back and likes to hang out in pirate taverns.
Su Lun came to try his luck.
But what he was more curious about was that it seemed that this news was not a secret, and many intelligence dealers in the Pirate City knew it.
But since we knew that the gold coin was in "Tani"'s hands, why didn't anyone pay attention?
Is the Pirate King’s treasure so unattractive?
The intelligence merchant just said that the gold coin was cursed and no one wanted to touch it.
Su Lun was also confused, what kind of curse could block human greed?
While he was thinking about it, he drank and listened to the pirates in the tavern bragging about spanking.
These sailors travel all over the country and are quite knowledgeable about the news. Most of the things they talk about are the recent events in the Pirate City.
And that marriage.
"Boss Gar has made a lot of money this time. He married Skadi, the thirteenth princess of Marfa, "Princess Frost Moon". She is a real royal family. ”
"Oh, I was lucky enough to see the princess from a distance during the previous wedding ceremony. Oh my god, you don't know, that is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life. Her skin is as smooth as the moon, and her **** and As big as a cow"
"I heard someone say that the reputation of the "Princess of Frost Moon" in the Marfa Empire is not very good. It is said that lovers in her society can line up from the palace to the city gate"
"Haha, I don't know what it's like to be a princess. Her delicate figure may not be able to withstand the majesty of Boss Gar"
""
The pirates were most interested in the romantic affairs of the upper class, and most of the topics they talked about were about the princess's coquettish beauty.
Su Lun also listened with great interest.
Although it was mostly hearsay, he also felt that there might be some truth to it.
Marrying from far away and marrying in Beihai, the princess is probably not the daughter who is loved by the emperor.
Or an ambitious conspirator?
In any case, Suellen doesn't care.
Because it has nothing to do with him.
At this time, a one-eyed dragon wearing a pirate's uniform and a pirate captain's uniform walked in.
Many of the pirates in the tavern seemed to know him and started to say hello.
"Hey, Captain CJ, are you here to recruit sailors again?"
"Captain CJ, I heard that your group found the 'Bartholomew Treasure Map'. Did you find the treasure this time when you went on a treasure hunt?"
"Forget it, the treasure was found, but the manpower was also severely damaged. Not much money was brought back, and the ship sank in the storm."
"Hahaha, I knew you would definitely encounter a storm. Knowing that that boy from Tani is the 'unlucky guy cursed by the sea', why do you want to go with that boy?"
"Although that kid is a bad guy, you have to admit that he may be the best navigator in the entire pirate city. If you don't look for him, we can't find it in that sea area, let alone the treasure. Hey, don't As I said, I want to recruit a group of people to salvage my sunken ship full of treasures. You know, it is worth at least several hundred million. Are you interested?"
"Of course! Count me in!"
""
For a while, the pirates' tavern became lively.
It was originally a normal chat, but when Su Lun heard the name "Tani" from their conversation, his ears suddenly pricked up.
After listening carefully, he realized that this "Tani" did not have the same name, but was probably the person holding the third [Black Sam's Curse Gold Coin].
Su Lun then realized that the guy who went sailing was going treasure hunting with this person?
Moreover, he also captured several keywords: the best navigator, the unlucky man cursed by the sea, storm
"It's interesting. What's so magical about Tani? What these people mean is that when he goes to sea, he will definitely encounter a storm?"
Su Lun also felt amazing when listening to the captain's story.
Su Lun stayed in the tavern for two or three hours and was almost done drinking.
He originally thought about coming back another day, but he didn't expect that when he was leaving, a messenger came to the door.
He is a man wearing a very tattered sailor suit with the brim of his hat pulled down very low.
The man did not attract the attention of others. He saw the sign on Su Lun's seat, walked over, and said directly: "Sir, I see that you are offering a reward for information about the 'Cyclops' and [Farr's Holy Grail]. ?"
"Oh? Do you have information?"
As Su Lun listened, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
Although he was disguised, he still immediately recognized the soul fire of the man in front of him.
Isn’t it the same person who sold his map at the flea market before?
What a coincidence, this guy still knows the information he wants?
The mysterious man said: "The price of your reward is one hundred thousand liso."
Su Lun also knew his business, so he took out a wad of cash and said, "This is the deposit. If the information is correct, the money is yours."
Pirate transactions also have pirate rules, and everyone knows the rules, so there will be almost no problems. Trading in the tavern itself is a layer of protection, and it will not be good for anyone if it gets too big.
Su Lun is not worried about being taken away from others and does nothing.
The mysterious man accepted the money and said directly: "[Far's Holy Grail] last appeared thirty-five years ago, when it was in the hands of 'Marquis Hayes'. That cup belongs to the Daru tribe. It is a holy object. Legend has it that a cup of holy water will be condensed every once in a while, which can cure 'karma' and many diseases."
""
Hearing this, Su Lun had no expression on his face, but he was really surprised.
After asking for so long, there was no news, but no one expected that someone would give him such accurate information!
Whether it is the efficacy or origin of the Holy Grail, it is completely accurate, so the rest is probably not fabricated.
He asked: "Do you know where the Holy Grail is now?"
The mysterious man said: "You have to pay the balance."
Su Lun gave another 80,000.
The man continued: "'Marquis Hayes' always carried the Holy Grail with him wherever he went. But during a voyage, his fleet encountered the pirate king Sam Bellamy. Therefore, the Holy Grail finally fell into the hands of the Pirate King."
Su Lun listened to this story and said: "You mean to say that the Holy Grail eventually sank into the sea together with Black Sam's fleet."
The mysterious man affirmed: "Yes."
""
Su Lun frowned as he listened.
It is a good thing to know the whereabouts of the Holy Grail. With that thing, he will suffer both mental and physical distortion
But this whereabouts is a bit embarrassing.
On the Pirate King’s ship, sank into the sea?
Su Lun frowned and asked: "Can I know where you got the information from?"
The mysterious man said: "Sorry, I have my source of information. But I can swear to the 'Ocean God' that the information is absolutely fine."
For people who walk on the sea all year round, this is a "poisonous oath".
Su Lun listened and pondered for a moment without asking any more questions.
This statement is also reliable.
What's more, now that the whereabouts of the third gold coin are known, he will soon know the location of the sunken ship, so it's not completely hopeless.
Su Lun asked again: "So, do you also know the information about the 'Cyclops'?"
He felt that the guy in front of him seemed to be able to surprise him.
The mysterious man said simply: "I know!"
He watched Su Lun give the money quickly, without any ink, and quoted directly: "The reward you are offering for this information is 50,000 yuan, which is generally worth this price. But if you need it, I can give you detailed navigation information. Picture! Just the price"
""
Su Lun was really shocked when he heard this.
He had asked before about the "legend" that there were Cyclops on the islands in the dangerous waters of the west, but no one had ever been there, and there was no chart.
This guy actually said, can he provide detailed navigation charts?
Where does this guy come from?
Su Lun said solemnly: "If there is a detailed chart, I will give you one hundred thousand!"
Hearing this, the mysterious man was silent for a moment, seeming to hesitate.
After thinking about it, he said: "Okay!"
As he spoke, Su Lun looked at a roll of nautical charts wrapped in a leather jacket and handed it to him. His mood at the moment was indescribably complicated.
This guy actually carries it with him?
Su Lun opened the leather case, spread out the sheepskin map and took a look, murmuring in his heart: It is indeed so.
Looking at the neat handwriting and exquisitely drawn patterns on it, aren’t they the ones I bought before?
Now he is almost certain that this map was drawn by the guy in front of him or someone around him.
The map is very detailed, marking a route to an island in the far west.
Ocean currents, wind directions, marine animal divisions, temperatures, and reef areas are all available.
Because the details were so unbelievable, Su Lun couldn't move his eyes away.
It is impossible to draw such a detailed map without going there in person.
Seeing Su Lun looking at the map fascinated, the mysterious man reminded: "Sir, it's time for you to pay."
Reminded by this, Su Lun raised his eyebrows, took out a bag of money, and said tentatively: "I am very satisfied with your information. I think we can establish a long-term relationship"
The mysterious man counted the money, but rejected the proposal, saying: "If you need it, you can hang a reward. I saw it and will contact you."
Just like selling the map before, after the transaction was completed, he quickly left the tavern.
Su Lun looked at it with a sharp look. This guy was like a "treasure". The more he came into contact with him, the more surprises he got.
He would not give up this kind of thing. Before he got up, the black crow outside the house followed him
But not long after Black Crow followed, Su Lun let out a soft cry: "Hey, you are so careful."
Although I don’t know how the boy found it, as soon as he walked into an alley, the black crow was smashed into pieces by a beam of light.
"Very interesting magic equipment"
Su Lun saw the last picture shared by Black Crow. The guy seemed to have used a very strange device to fire a "laser" to kill Black Crow.
I found out everything I needed to know at once, which was a great harvest.
Su Lun walked out of the tavern as he lost interest in drinking.
He planned to go shopping on the street.
The "Tani" market is mixed in the pub area, but I'm not sure which one it is.
Teabeard Tavern, Windmill Tavern, Giant Tavern, Blue Whale Tavern
The streets are full of drinkers, and glamorous girls welcome guests at the door.
Su Lun strolled down the street and asked around, but no one saw him
Unconsciously, I have reached the upper level, which is already a high-end tavern area.
The Golden City Walled City is said to be big, very big.
To say small, it is also very small.
There are only a few streets in the pub area.
Suddenly, Su Lun suddenly recognized a familiar "soul fire" in his soul perception.
Several young men blocked a brown-haired boy in ragged clothes, as if they were committing violence.
"Unlucky Tani, I heard that you went to sea again and sank five large ships of the "Rhino Regiment"? Killed hundreds of people?"
"Jessica, don't get too close to that guy, he's an unlucky guy."
"Just, don't let bad luck get us all."
"Bah! Let's go, Jessica, Tucker, leave him alone. This guy is a monster, be careful he bites your ear"
"Haha, a **** born from a sea monster! Bah!"
""
After quenching their voices, several young men dispersed in a hurry.
The brown-haired boy kept silent. After watching the person leave, he turned around silently and went elsewhere.
Seeing this, Su Lun no longer knew how to describe his complicated mood.
Is he "Tani"?
In one day, I saw the same person three times, three different scenes, three different costumes, and three identities
The key is that they all aroused Su Lun's strong interest.
What is the background of this guy?
