"Oh, it's more prosperous here than when I came here, um, it's a huge change."
In a spacious road, Aya, who was wearing a gray cloak, looked in surprise at the tall buildings and heavy traffic on both sides.
Now, following Wang Lu and the others, she has arrived at the extreme west of the Kyushu Continent, a city called Tianlu. As far as you can see, it is a bustling scene.
"This is one of the trade hubs of the East and West continents, and it is a newly built port city. Naturally, it is changing with each passing day. When you came here, it was a hundred years ago, and this place was just built. It is not much better than a small fishing village. Now it is already It’s a big city with a population of tens of thousands.”
In addition to the prosperity, what is even more impressive is the mixed and open cultural atmosphere here. With the development of trade, the cultures of the two continents have become more integrated and connected, and the various cultural crystallizations that have emerged are even more impressive. My eyes lit up.
It's a pity that the group didn't have much time to stay here to enjoy the scenery. Wang Lu's schedule was very tight. When he arrived at Tianlu City, it happened to be the day when Xuantian Pavilion's merchant fleet bound for Xiyi Continent was about to set sail. son.
Today, about half of the trade between the east and west continents is ruled by the Xuantian Pavilion and its various chambers of commerce. After all, only a giant like the Xuantian Pavilion has enough resources and manpower to organize trade across continents, the deadly fog on the endless sea, and The endless sea monsters and demons are beyond the reach of ordinary chambers of commerce.
Through the years of cooperation between Zhijiao and Xuantianguan, Wang Lu successfully contacted the branch of Tianlu City, made an appointment with a fleet of the branch, and set sail for Xiyi with the merchant ship. This kind of fleet only sails two or three times a year, and if you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait a few months. In addition to the fleet of Xuantian Pavilion, although there are many other cargo ships, it is difficult to guarantee safety and other issues.
Through the contact information sent by Xuantian Pavilion, Wang Lu and his party found the leader of the fleet at the pier and prepared to land and set off. However, as every seasoned adventurer knows the law: any adventure, most of the time is Used to handle emergencies. Wang Lu and the others just happened to encounter an unexpected situation.
"To put it simply, do you want to sit on the ground and raise the price? The one thousand spirit stones originally agreed can't fill you up?"
On the pier, facing the warm and humid sea breeze, Wang Lu smiled slightly, but there was no warmth in his smile.
And standing in front of Wang Lu was a burly, red-black-skinned, luxuriously dressed middle-aged man, who was the head of the fleet, Nie Yang. Nie Yang, as the vice president of the Tianlu City branch of Xuantian Pavilion, has a very high prestige and status in Tianlu City. At the same time, he has a good immortal cultivation. Ordinary monks are all respectful when they see him. Lu watched with icy eyes, but couldn't help breaking out in cold sweat, panicking in his heart.
"It's not wrong to say that the price is sitting on the ground... Maybe it's not wrong." After all, Nie Yang restrained his mind and explained, "But this is really because of helplessness. Recently, the endless sea has undergone sudden changes, and the risks have doubled. In order to cope with the risks, the fleet has made a lot of arrangements, and the cost of the voyage has doubled. The originally agreed 1,000 Lingshi is not enough to pay, so I have to put down my face and start the price... In fact, 3,000 Lingshi The price is not enough to cover the cost."
Wang Lu had no intention of calculating the cost with the other party, but sneered and said, "If there is no risk in this continent's trade, how can it be your turn to do it? You are businessmen, and you should understand the spirit of contract."
Nie Yang said: "The contract also stipulates that if force majeure occurs, we have the right to adjust the price.
"That's right, the definition of force majeure is free to explain to you."
Nie Yang said: "Please believe that we definitely did not intend to blackmail. It is really helpless. Such incidents will be detrimental to the reputation of our Xuantian Pavilion. If it weren't for the fleet that departed from Xiling Port some time ago, there would be no There are monstrous storms in the sea, and we will not take such a bad strategy. In fact, there are not many fleets willing to go to sea now."
Seeing that Nie Yang didn't let go of what he said, he just wanted to triple the already exorbitant ship price, Wang Lu frowned deeply.
Of course he doesn't care about thousands of spirit stones, which may be a huge sum of money for ordinary monks, but his net worth is incalculable, and tens of thousands of spirit stones are like pocket money. But he doesn't like being raised on the floor. However, Nie Yang's temporary price increase also makes sense in the contract...
"If it's embarrassing, it's fine not to disagree with his fleet."
In the silence, standing behind Wang Lu, the girl in a gray robe said softly.
Wang Lu shook his head: "The endless sea is vast and endless, and there are endless changes. It is not uncommon to encounter any situation on the sea. It is really difficult to cross the sea without skilled fleet guidance."
The girl said: "It's not that difficult. I used to cross the sea alone when I came from Xiyi. At that time, I didn't find a suitable fleet."
Wang Lu was surprised and said, "Crossing the sea alone? Did you swim here?"
The girl said: "I have the blessing of the elves, and I can walk freely on the water, so I came here directly. Of course, it will be troublesome to encounter tsunamis and huge waves occasionally, but generally speaking, as long as you aim at the east and go straight, you will always be able to walk on the water." arrived at the destination."
"..." Wang Lu sighed in his heart, no wonder you ran out of fuel not long after you came to the Kyushu Continent, you really deserve it
Wang Lu had nothing to say, but Nie Yang didn't take it seriously when he heard the girl's speech, and persuaded him: "It is true that a clever monk can fly in the air for a long time, but even if you don't consider the position on the sea, the giant dormant in the ocean Beasts are no small matter, even Daoist Nascent Soul can't resist it, if you don't follow the fleet, you will be in trouble if you encounter sea monsters."
Wang Lu was also curious, and asked, "Aya, did you encounter a sea monster attack back then?"
"Of course, they were all expelled by me. However, there are indeed strong people in the sea, and I sometimes feel uncomfortable when I fight."
When Aya crossed the sea back then, theoretically, she had the strength close to that of a monk at the fusion stage, and it made her feel uncomfortable, so it was not something that Wang Lu's team could face head-on, since that was the case...
"Then get on the boat." Wang Lu shrugged.
After paying half of the ship's fare, Wang Lu and others boarded the fleet. The captain of the fleet, Nie Yang, personally led them into the five superior guest rooms on the pilot ship. The guest rooms of Wang Lu and the others were all specially refitted, luxuriously decorated and spacious, occupying almost an entire floor of the huge pilot ship. There were only six vacant rooms on that floor, five of which were occupied by Wang Lu and the others. One room remains vacant. In fact, this is also the main reason for the huge cost of the ship. Otherwise, how could the cost of the ship cost as much as thousands of spirit stones for just a few travelers
Not long after the fleet set sail, Nie Yang graciously came to find Wang Lu. On the one hand, he expressed his apologies in haste, and on the other hand, he introduced a special neighbor to them.
Apart from Wang Lu and others, there was only one passenger in this cabin, and it was the one who followed Nie Yang in this matter.
"This is our navigator, Ayun." With a warm smile, Nie Yang pushed the girl beside him forward, "She is the biggest guarantee for our trip to Xiyi Continent"
Wang Lu looked at the girl named Ayun with a little surprise. She looked only thirteen or fourteen years old. She looked a bit like a mixed race of multiple races. Her facial features combined the characteristics of two continents, the East and the West. The young girl has long hair like a white cloud, and her skin is white and tender with ruddy, totally unlike the weather-beaten sea dwellers. At the same time, the girl's attire is also full of luxury. She is spotless, and the short one-piece skirt woven with the finest spiritual silk wraps her immature but curvaceous body. The limbs are exposed, and precious jade bracelets are worn on the wrists and ankles. On the delicate neck, there are two strings of necklaces, one string is neat and clean shells, and the other string is huge round pearls. Most of the trivial jewelry on her body contained a faint fairy aura, which was definitely not for the world.
Wang Lu carefully looked at the girl in front of him. At the same time, the girl raised her eyes, looked at Wang Lu, and gave him a slight nod in greeting. Her posture seemed calm and generous, not like a cardamom girl who was thirteen or fourteen years old and didn't know much about the world. But just as he nodded, Wang Lu saw something like a few scales growing behind the girl's ear.
Nie Yang noticed Wang Lu's gaze, and introduced with a smile: "Ah Yun is a member of the Sea Clan, the most professional navigator of the Endless Sea."
"Sea Clan?"
"Well, the legends are the gifted family of heaven and earth. They were born in the endless sea, and they have a unique perception and affinity for this treacherous ocean. We all know that the endless sea is unpredictable, even the most seasoned sailors are unpredictable What will happen in the next moment. But the sea people are keenly aware of changes in the ocean and can make advance warnings. Similarly, fierce beasts living in the sea usually do not attack ships with sea people on board. So as long as the fleet Among them is a navigator of the Sea Clan, who can eliminate 100% of the dangers of the endless sea. Of course, with such ability, the price is naturally terrifyingly high. Don't look at Miss Ayun, who is weak and cowardly. If you want to invite her to come forward, it is impossible without this number."
Nie Yang stretched out a slap and gestured twice, indicating 10,000 spirit stones.
Wang Lu nodded to show that he understood. Nie Yang brought Ayun to see them, apparently also explaining why he raised the price by sitting on the ground.
Ten thousand spirit stones, tsk tsk, generally speaking, a fleet of one voyage can earn tens of thousands of spirit stones in profit, which is a business that is risking one's life. And the girls of the sea tribe can get 10,000 spirit stones as long as they go to sea once, and knowledge is power as expected.
Nie Yang patted the girl Ayun on the shoulder, and said with emotion: "Generally, we would not invite people from the sea clan to join us. But some time ago, the fleet of Xiling Port encountered sea beasts at sea, and the fleet contained Many powerful monks, relying on their strength in force, did not follow the usual practice of throwing sacrifices, but fought with sea beasts. As a result... Alas, they did clean up the robber-like sea beasts, but they also provoked the sea beasts After that fleet passed, the entire endless sea was not at peace. Before that, three fleets were attacked by angry sea beasts one after another, and the entire army was wiped out. Now without the navigator of the sea tribe, no one dares to Out to sea."
Wang Lu waved his hand: "Okay, I know, it's not that I spent money and didn't spend money. We paid the down payment, and we will pay the balance when we arrive at the place. Are you afraid that we will default on the payment? We are very spirited about contract, We will not just use force majeure as an excuse to modify the contract."
Nie Yang naturally smiled wryly, and took Ayun to leave after a while.
Wang Lu watched Ayun's exquisite and exquisite back gradually go away, and sighed in his heart.
The fleet at Xiling Port...isn't it the team of the Development Management Committee? It is led by real Fengyin. It has a particularly luxurious lineup. The mess will make future generations suffer
I only hope that the extra two thousand spirit stones will be worth the money.
