When Zhang Tie arrived at St. Genna Island, it was already the evening of the second day, a few hours later than the scheduled time. The reason was that the passenger ship encountered strong winds at sea last night. The sudden change of weather made the passenger ship difficult to travel at sea. The speed slowed down, which delayed a little time...
St. Genna Island is more than a thousand kilometers north of Aklay Island. Once here, the temperature is already significantly lower than that on Aklay Island.
As soon as the passenger ship arrived at the port, people who had been on board for dozens of hours rushed to get off the ship. Many people on the passenger ship were carrying luggage, and some were holding swords and other items. Only Zhang Tie was empty-handed.
When getting off the boat, Zhang Tiecai noticed that his empty hands were a bit eye-catching. He was pretending to be a pioneer, which was really unworthy of him. It seemed that he was going to a store selling pioneer supplies on St. Helena Island again. Went for a trip.
Although there are still some pioneer equipment and supplies in the Black Iron Castle that Zhang Tie once bought in the Star Observation City, those things are different from those used by the pioneers here in the Ewendaral Islands, both in appearance and style. They're all so different, and wearing those things is definitely telling everyone that I'm a newbie, coming from far away, which is stupid.
In particular, due to climate reasons in the Ewendala Islands and the Ice and Snow Wasteland, the clothes of the pioneers here are completely different from the clothes of the pioneers in Jinyun Country. Zhang Tie, who just wants to come here quietly to improve his strength, of course He won't turn himself into a noticeable presence just to save a few gold coins.
The cargo piled up like a mountain at the port of St. Genna Island, and the tall tower cranes on the port continued to unload the cargo from the oversized ships docked at the pier. Zhang Tie looked at the unloaded goods and found that most of them were wood. There are also a lot of various ores, and square linen bags containing various leather goods can be seen everywhere. The warehouses on the port are densely packed, and there are many workers loading and carrying them back and forth between the warehouses and the freighters. these goods.
The pier is bustling with people. This place is much more prosperous than Aklay Island, not only because of the large number of people, but also because the industry and commerce are more developed.
Zhang Tie also saw several shipyards near the port. The Zhang family was engaged in shipbuilding business in Jinhaicheng. Zhang Tie, who had visited the Zhangjia Shipyard, also learned a little about shipbuilding. Seeing the several shipyards near the dock, Zhang Tie immediately judged from the size and platform of the shipyards that those shipyards were actually All have the ability to build giant ships of 10,000 tons.
In addition to being more prosperous than Aklay Island, it also seems to be more barbaric. The rude overseers on the dock hold whips in their hands while working. You can slap those slow-moving dock workers unceremoniously at any time and scold them loudly...
Among the turbulent crowds on the pier, Zhang Tie also saw barbarians with weird tattoos on their faces and bodies running rampant in the crowd. Even those who wore skull and horn helmets on their heads had fleshy faces and fierce expressions. . There are many guys who barely have the word "pirate" written on their foreheads, brazenly showing up here carrying swords and shields.
From the moment he left the passenger ship to arriving at the ticket window at the port, Zhang Tie saw two fights. All those fights were happening, and everyone around them looked as if they were not surprised. Many people were not even interested in watching the fun. Naturally, there will be no security guards or police to take care of such nosy matters.
"Give me the nearest ferry ticket to the ice and snow wasteland!" The queue at the ticket window was not long, and Zhang Tie only waited for less than three minutes. It was his turn.
There was an old man with rosacea sitting at the ticket window. The old man glanced at Zhang Tie lazily, shook his head slightly, and said to himself, "Is he another pioneer who wants to make a fortune in the snow and ice wilderness? The latest one The passenger ship will leave in five days. The tickets include VIP class, first class, ordinary class and economy class. Which class do you want?"
"What's the difference?"
"VIP class tickets cost 16 gold coins each, first class tickets cost 7 gold coins each, and ordinary class tickets cost 4 gold coins each. The rooms in these three classes are for one person. Each ticket costs 80 silver coins. It is a large room where everyone is crowded together. VIP and first-class cabins come with free meals. What ticket do you want?"
The price of the ticket shocked Zhang Tie. In terms of the ticket, it was simply too expensive. You must know that this was a passenger ship, not an airship. "Why is it so expensive?"
"The passenger ship has to pass through the devil's north wind belt in the Oro Strait, so of course it's expensive!"
After thinking for a while, Zhang Tie took out four gold coins and handed them over, "Give me an ordinary cabin ticket!"
The old man who sold the ticket clicked the ticket machine and handed over the ticket after a few seconds. Zhang Tie took the ticket and took a look at the information on the ticket - 10 a.m. on July 31, Shenghe Nagang Pier 7, Blue Whale, No. G614 ordinary cabin, boarding by ticket.
It looks like I have to stay here for two days, Zhang Tie thought, and then left the ticket office.
On the street outside the port, there was a constant flow of people. Looking up, the streets outside were all filled with signboards of various trading firms.
Zhang Tie did not go too far, but stayed in an ordinary hotel less than 20 minutes away from the port that was neither luxurious nor shabby, but looked clean and tidy from the outside.
The management of the hotel is much stricter and less casual than that of the Pioneer Hotel. It requires the identity document of the registered guest. At the front desk of the hotel, Zhang Tie took out his latest identity card—an identity card for a citizen of the Sacred Golden Orchid Empire. There are photos of Zhang Tie's current appearance, and there is an extremely popular name that Zhang Tie chose for his current appearance - Peter Humpreis.
The whole Blackson people were walking in the corridor. Zhang Tie, the guy named Peter, estimated that there were not more than 10,000 but 8,000. I remember when I was in Black Flame City, there were several guys named Peter in just one school.
In this way, Zhang Tie stayed on St. Helena Island, waiting for the time to board the ship. In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
In the past two days, Zhang Tie also learned about the situation in the waters around St. Helena Island. There are a large number of seals and walruses on some small islands in the waters surrounding St. Helena. On St. Genna Island, many people make a living by hunting these animals. However, these animals are docile and honest, and rarely attack humans. Although they are mammals living in the sea, their tribe is not hostile to humans. According to the rules of the generation of Qiliguo, Zhang Tie will naturally not change his mind. onto the heads of these poor animals.
Ordinary seals and walruses are not good, but those mutated seals and walruses are two different things. The blood seals and giant walruses near St. Gena Island are existences that can make sailors angry. Both of these creatures like to attack people and small fishing boats, and have caused many disasters in this sea area.
Although there are these two things in the sea near St. Helena Island, their numbers are not too many. The sea area where these two things exist most is the Lanling Strait near the east side of the ice and snow wasteland. Therefore, if you want to hunt blood seals and giant walruses, you still have to go to the ice and snow wasteland, which does not conflict with Zhang Tie's original plan.
Zhang Tie just planned his trip to the ice and snow wasteland on the pioneer map, and then stayed in the hotel with peace of mind.
On the third day, Heller wanted him to collect some seeds of some special plants on the island, and Zhang Tie also wanted to buy some more necessary equipment for pioneers to go to the ice and snow wasteland. So after having dinner at the hotel, we left the hotel.
Pioneer equipment was easy to buy. For less than four gold coins, Zhang Tie gave himself a brand new look from head to toe and put on a sea dog skin hat. He wore a pair of bearskin gloves on his hands and a multi-purpose cloak of fox fur on his body. Carrying a heavy pioneering sword that is a local specialty and can be used both on land and sea, Zhang Tie's appearance is no different from the pioneers coming and going on the street.
The pioneers' things were bought, but the plant seeds Heller wanted to collect made Zhang Tie wander around the city for several hours, and finally ended up at a farmer's market in the suburbs that was so remote that even Zhang Tie didn't know where it was. I bought some at a small shop inside.
After buying the seeds and putting them in the backpack, the small store went straight to proofing. It was already after ten o'clock in the evening.
Zhang Tie returned along the original path in his memory...
…
There were very few pedestrians on the suburban road at night. There were rows of tall white birches on both sides of the road. Zhang Tie walked for more than 20 minutes and only met three or five people. For Zhang Tie now, walking such a night road was, of course, It doesn't make him feel that there is anything to be afraid of, not to mention that Zhang Tie still has dark vision...
There were car lights coming from behind. Zhang Tie, who was walking on the road, quickly walked to the edge of the roadbed to avoid it. More than ten seconds later, six cars passed by Zhang Tie quickly. When a car passed by Zhang Tie, When he hit a small puddle on the roadside, Zhang Tie was caught off guard with a "swish" sound, and a piece of muddy water splashed onto Zhang Tie's pants.
"Fake!", Zhang Tie yelled, but the driver didn't care about the feelings of this little guy on the roadside, and had no intention of stopping the car to apologize. In the blink of an eye, the six-car convoy drove out. dozens of meters away.
When encountering this kind of thing, besides scolding him, Zhang Tie was too lazy to care about it and could only admit that he was unlucky. Just when Zhang Tie was about to wipe the dirty water on his pants, Zhang Tie saw several people on the road ahead. A thick white birch suddenly fell from the roadside and blocked the road. A tree directly hit the hood of the first car, forcing the fast-moving convoy to stop. Come down. There were two cars behind that couldn't slow down enough and suddenly hit the butt of the car in front.
"Back up!" Even from dozens of meters away, Zhang Tie could hear someone in the six cars shouting earth-shatteringly.
In response to this shout, a flying ax flew out from the pine forest on the roadside like locusts, shining coldly in the darkness.
Some flying axes tore apart the fragile steel plates of the car body and embedded them into the car body...
Some throwing axes directly smashed the bulletproof glass on those vehicles to create spider web-like cracks...
The first wave of throwing axes was exhausted in the blink of an eye, and apart from making those vehicles look extremely embarrassed, no one was hurt.
In an instant, except for the first car that was hit by the falling tree, all the cars began to retreat quickly in a well-trained manner. The first car that could not move instantly jumped out of the car with six men holding shields and swords. The man, without saying a word, went to kill the pine trees on both sides of the road...
The second wave of flying axes arrived in an instant, and the six people who rushed out of the first car had not yet reached the roadside. He was torn into pieces in the shadow of a roaring flying axe...
Some of the flying axes accurately flew into the cars from the windows damaged by the first wave of flying axes, and into three of the five cars that were retreating. Immediately, a cloud of blood mist exploded, and the sprayed blood was like small puddles on the road that had just been run over by a car. It splashed onto the glass on all sides of the car, dyeing the glass red...
Just more than ten meters in front of Zhang Tie, several more thick birch trees fell down, completely blocking the road for the retreating cars.
The doors of the retreating cars suddenly opened, and the people inside rushed out. They were instantly fighting with the killers dressed in black who rushed out from both sides of the road...
Screams... ferocious fighting... splattered blood... the sound of swords and axes cutting into the body... and those battle spirit totems that were annihilated as soon as they rose...
Within seconds. Before Zhang Tie, who had encountered this kind of thing for the first time, could decide whether to rush forward to save someone in danger or simply turn around and run away to avoid this unknown trouble, the killing and situation on the field had suddenly changed. It became clear.
On a short stretch of several tens of meters of road, amid the lights of a few swaying cars, lay more than thirty corpses still bleeding. Most of them were people who got off the cars, and some Seven or eight were killers dressed in black. Killers in black clothes kept stabbing the corpses neatly.
A tall man covered in blood was leaning against a stopped car, holding a long sword and a shield, and protecting a woman behind him. He looked angrily at the expressions of those who were slowly surrounding him. A cold and bloody killer.
Although the number of those killers was still somewhat reduced in the battle just now. However, the number of people at this moment is also more than fifty.
"Who are you?" the man who was protecting the woman asked loudly, "The consequences of being an enemy of the Barras family will definitely make you pay with blood!"
The killers around them didn't say a word, but slowly surrounded them, blocking all escape routes in front and behind the man and the woman.
"Kita. No need to ask. Don't you understand by now? It was the immortals from the Barras family who sent these people here!" A calm voice sounded, protected by that man. The woman sighed faintly, "The stupidity and greed of those people have caused them to lose their last trace of reason and choose to cooperate with the devil. They don't even think about it, even if they get rid of me, Barras How could the family’s property fall into their hands?”
"Pa bang bang..." As a gentle slap sounded, behind the killers, a guy with a horse face and tangled muscles walked out, "Everyone in the entire Evandala Islands knows that Saint There is a charming fox on St. Helena Island. She is a stunningly beautiful and powerful widow in the Barras family. In just over ten years, one woman made the Barras family one of the three major families on St. Helena Island. One, when I saw it today, it really lives up to its reputation!"
From Zhang Tie's angle, he couldn't see what the woman who was carrying him more than 20 meters away looked like, but from the back, she looked mature and attractive, and the guy with a horse face looked like Looking at the blazing fire of desire spurted by that woman, Zhang Tie could feel it even from a distance of more than twenty meters.
It seemed that Zhang Tie's gaze caught the attention of the centaur-faced man. He glanced at Zhang Tie, then waved his hand impatiently and signaled with his eyes. A killer in black next to him pointed at Zhang Tie with a sword. Zhang Tie came over. To those people, young men like Zhang Tie were just unlucky little people. Who told him to be on the road so late at night, and yet he encountered this incident again? Isn't it a matter of course to kill the eggs easily
Seeing a killer walking towards Zhang Tie, no one among those killers, including the horse-faced man, cared about Zhang Tie anymore. In everyone's eyes, Zhang Tie at this moment looked exactly like It's like a salted fish on the chopping board. Such a down-and-out pioneer who can be seen everywhere is probably scared to death at this moment.
The so-called pioneers, in the eyes of many people, are just a group of helpless people running around dreaming of getting rich. They are no more intimidating than farmers who go to the countryside to farm after joining the army and retiring from the army, and many pioneers. It is those retired soldiers who are not willing to live an ordinary life that make up the majority of the ranks. They are all between level one to level five, and there are not many pioneers who have reached level six or even higher, but their number is even rarer than the officers among the same number of soldiers in the army. So those people naturally don't have anything to worry about.
The man and the woman may have thought so too. Zhang Tie, who was standing twenty meters away from the two of them, was just an unlucky witness who happened to encounter this incident.
No one thought that Zhang Tie's presence would have any impact on the situation at the scene and what was about to happen. It seemed that Zhang Tie had turned into a corpse lying on the road at this moment.
Zhang Tie glanced at the guy walking towards him with a weapon. He sighed secretly in his heart. If he didn't look for trouble, trouble would still come to him. Since those guys decided to kill him, then unless he left St. Genna Island right now, he would jump directly without even taking a boat. Swim into the sea and into the icy wastelands. Or cross-dress again, otherwise with the abilities and backgrounds of these people, it is not difficult to find themselves on such an island.
Although he didn't want to cause any trouble when he came out this time, Zhang Tie didn't want to wrong himself for these people. He felt it wasn't worth it. And Zhang Tie is sure that if he runs away now, then there is a high probability that by tomorrow, he will become the best scapegoat for this murder. He will definitely be wanted by that bullshit Barras family, regardless of his life or death. By doing this, you can seal your own mouth and take the blame for others. You kill two birds with one stone. Only a fool would not think of it.
The conversation between the two people just now aroused Zhang Tie's interest. Zhang Tie, who always felt that he was similar to ordinary citizens, also had a very strong gossip mentality towards this kind of "grievances between wealthy families". Therefore, after the thought of running away immediately circulated in Zhang Tie's head twice, he was forgotten by Zhang Tie.
This is a good show, a rare good show.
"I am now disheartened by the Barras family. I don't know what kind of promises those old immortals have given you, but I know what you want. Here, we might as well make a deal, you Let me and my captain of the guard leave the island of St. Genna. We can leave tomorrow without taking a single copper. I will give you everything I have in St. Genna with the Barras family to make it easier for you. What do you think about getting what you want?"
Although the woman was already at an absolute disadvantage, she did not give up. Instead, she negotiated terms and made deals with those people in a calm and calm tone.
"Before I saw you, I did want to kill you, but now, I have changed my mind!" The horse-faced man's greedy eyes, which did not hide his thoughts, were fixed on the woman, all over her body. Patrolling, like a wolf's tongue licking its prey, "It must be a pleasure to fuck such a smart and beautiful woman like you. It would be a pity to die like this!"
The killers around all laughed...
Hearing these words, the man protecting the woman roared, his fighting spirit surged, and a king snake appeared. The man wanted to rush over, but he was worried about the woman behind him, but his eyes seemed to be on fire. He looked at the men around him and said, "Unless I die, no one of you can touch a hair of Mrs. Olena!"
"Then... just die!" The horse-faced man's eyes turned cold when he said this, and a huge meteor hammer in his hand seemed to hit the man all at once, like a shooting star. At the same time, A huge blood scorpion battle spirit totem also appeared behind the horse-faced man.
Just after three loud noises, the shield in Kita's hand was completely shattered. His body flew up, vomiting blood, and landed heavily on the ground ten meters away.
The woman sighed...
With a disdainful sneer on his face, the horse-faced man was about to step forward and smash the fallen man into blood...
"Crack..." a crisp sound of bone breaking sounded, and all the men turned their heads and looked at the place where the sound came from.
That place was where Zhang Tie was. Zhang Tie's hand pinched the neck of the black-clothed killer who just walked towards him, like pinching a chicken. When everyone turned their heads, Zhang Tie Just as he took his hand back, the killer fell to the ground with his neck twisted, and there was no more sound...
Seeing everyone turn their heads, Zhang Tie smiled sheepishly, "This person just wanted to kill me, so I had to crush him to death. This... you won't mind, right?"
The eyes of the horse-faced man holding the meteor hammer suddenly turned cold...
Hearing Zhang Tie's words, the woman also turned her head and looked at Zhang Tie standing on the roadside outside the circle of people.
When the woman turned her head, Zhang Tie felt that his mind went blank for a moment, as if he saw Teacher Dinah, who had changed her clothes, standing in front of him...
