Anyone can see that the middle-aged man in front of him is not willing to take this strange team to his ship. However, he was unable to resist the price offered by the woman who looked like a star in her eyes. It was a fortune that he could not get from fishing for a year, and his wife and children could live a better life on this money. Of course, the fisherman is not stupid. He knows that anyone who would exchange such a large sum of money for a ride must not be normal. They must have extremely dangerous attempts, and they may even kill themselves in order to seal off their debts. However, the economy of Cang lion was severely damaged in the rat plague. For those nobles and knights, it was nothing more than to collect more taxes. However, if these taxes fell on the common people, it meant that their livelihood was difficult to maintain. If he doesn''t do the business, I''m afraid his little son won''t be able to survive this spring.
Lothar can see the man''s reluctance and worry, but he can''t say anything. After all, Qili didn''t use magic to influence other people''s minds this time. If she only used money to get service, even the count of Heishan couldn''t find something wrong. The only thing that worried him was whether the witch had money to pay the price promised to the fisherman. Thinking of this, Lothar touched the gold necklace in her arms. It was a small ornament in the clothes of the count of Heishan, which should satisfy the fisherman.
"Your pet, don''t you come with me?" The count looked at a pair of reluctant net worms around him. Before entering the fishing village, the maids had placed their Eight Legged pets in the nearby forest, which was not something that ordinary people could easily see. Regarding Lothar''s concern, the latter looked at him and said in a somewhat sharp tone, "you don''t think a fishing boat can take us to our destination, do you? Don''t worry, I''ll let it follow on the shore. "
Obviously, the disturbance in the fish market just now made the net worm angry. The count touched his nose, turned his head and looked at Qili, who was very interested in the scene of the wharf. "Did you come by boat?" Since they are going to lose heart at this time, it is safe to take the path of witches when they come to Cang lion. However, along the way, Qili kept silent about how they came to this country. This feeling was not that she wanted to hide it on purpose, but simply out of interest, she didn''t want to tell her companions what they were going to encounter, expecting to see the surprise on their faces.
"Hey, you''ll know when you get there." Sure enough, Qili is still mysterious now. At the same time, she sniffed the air around her, and her bright eyes became more dazzling. "It seems that I am not the only one who has been called on, but it''s OK, so that things will be more interesting."
The port of the fishing village is not very big, or whether these simple wooden pedals stretching out of the land can be called ports is a problem. The middle-aged man stepped on the crunching planks under his feet and led the team to some fishing boats in the harbor. He pointed to one of them and turned to them and said, "this is my boat. If you think it''s OK, we can start now."
Lothar hesitated to look at the boat that didn''t even have a shed in front of her. Maybe sampan is the more suitable name for her. Sailing on the water in such a boat is essentially the same as holding a log. "Can it carry all of us?" The count''s worry is very reasonable. Even if no one is sitting in the boat, the draft of the ship has already reached a certain depth, and the part higher than the water surface is probably the height of two fists. This situation, coupled with the armor and weapons of the two soldiers, can hardly guarantee that the ship will not sink directly.
The middle-aged fisherman was also aware of the problem. He looked at the two mercenaries and his own boat with some embarrassment. After all, he was the one who ate. So he knew that the carrying capacity of the boat was not able to carry the people on the wharf. But just as he was about to propose to take three people in two batches to the agreed place, a loud noise came from the distance of the wharf.
"It looks like those guys got it back." Net insect light says. This is a very reasonable thing. After all, this is the town of other people. I''m afraid it''s not easy to leave after being injured. Lothar shook his head. He moved his wrist. It was impossible to listen to the news and solve the problem peacefully. In this way, the count of Heishan is not rigid enough to be attacked by swords. However, while the two mercenaries were rubbing their hands, Qili turned her eyes and kicked Lothar in the back of the waist and kicked her into the boat.
"What are you doing..." Before the count''s complaint was finished, the webworm was pushed by the witch with both hands and fell on him. Their faces were very close. Regardless of the two people in the boat who were in an awkward situation, Qili said to the poor boatman in a tone of half joke and half threat, "you have two ways now, or you can take us away quickly. As long as you move fast enough, those fools may not be able to find you. Or, guess if they''re going to take their anger at you? "
"But my boat can''t carry so many people. It will..." Half of the fisherman''s words were interrupted. The witch pressed her finger on his lips, then looked into the former''s eyes and said, "I said, it will be OK. And you, too, will get the payment that was negotiated before. "
By the time Lothar and the net worm were sitting up, the boat had already moved out of the harbor under the fisherman''s sliding. Interestingly, although the surrounding sea water seemed to be able to pour into the poor sampan at any time, it was almost blocked out of the boat by invisible forces, and only scattered splashes of water showed that it was sailing on the water. When the boat turned out of the fishing port, all the people were relieved. Those who came to seek revenge did not see them go out of the harbor. I think they did not expect that these foreigners convinced a fisherman to take them to sea at such a fast speed.The fishy and salty sea breeze is blowing people''s hair. After confirming the wind direction, the fishermen set up the sails and used the wind instead of human to push the boat forward. Nevertheless, the fishing boat is only less than 50 meters away from the cliffs and the mangroves growing in the shallow sea. It can be said that the fishing boat is moving along the coastline, which is totally different from the actual sailing into the sea. As the day moved westward, the towering cliffs ahead cast huge shadows that looked like a skull without a jaw.
"That''s where we''re going." Qili said, pointing to the strange scene in the distance.
