(PS: I accidentally reached the top of the fan new book list. It’s all thanks to everyone. During the new book period, I also ask you all to help me! Recommendation votes and collections are particularly important. I also want to thank so many book friends for their rewards these days. I’m sorry that I can’t list all my thanks! )
The Kingdom of Alabasta is one of the superpowers located on the Great Channel of Sentinel.
An exotic country full of desert charm.
Not long ago, it stopped raining everywhere except the capital Albana, which was like a bolt from the blue for the desert country.
As a result, many people believed that the drought was caused by the king's private use of the rain-inducing agent "Dancing Powder" and reported it to the navy.
The seeds of civil war were planted at this moment...
"Ha...it's really hot!"
After disembarking at the 'Rape Flower' port, Luo Qing and his party mounted camels and began their desert journey.
In this case, the advantage of the one hundred cubic meters of space in the Infinity Gauntlet was reflected, allowing them to travel lightly. A large amount of food and water sources were stored inside, so they did not have to worry about dying of thirst.
"Isn't it here yet? What a crazy weather!"
Thanks to the hot weather, Nami wore a three-point dress underneath and a thin gauze scarf outside, just like an exotic dancer.
"I saw it, it should be right ahead!"
After hearing this, several people cheered up and headed straight to the 'oasis' ahead!
"This should be the 'Rainland'."
After entering the city, Luo Qing said to himself while looking at the surrounding scenery.
Alabasta, where there is no rain anywhere, is the new dream city here. Crocodile’s headquarters and the Kingdom’s largest casino, “Rain Feast,” is located here.
"What to do next?"
Luo Qing couldn't just hit the door like this, he wasn't that powerful yet.
However, it seems that the intelligence work of Baroque Works has always been controlled by Nico Robin, and then reported to the big boss Sand Crocodile after sorting it out.
So is it possible to reach some kind of agreement with Robin first
Luo Qing frowned as he looked at the crowded streets.
"Let's go, find a place to stay first."
Then leaving Xiao Xueqiu and Kebi in the room, Luo Qing and Nami went to a tavern to inquire about information. After all, traveling with two children was too eye-catching.
Ten minutes later, Luo Qing drank all the wine in his glass, then swaggered to sit in front of the bartender.
"Continued Cup!"
"I said, your wine is too expensive! You can at least buy a barrel of this size for the same money elsewhere!"
While complaining dissatisfiedly, Luo Qing made exaggerated gestures.
Perhaps because he had seen many outsiders like him, the bartender skillfully gave him another drink and said, "It's expensive and there's nothing you can do about it. Who said this is a desert country? It's good to have wine!"
"That's true. Along the way, there is a lack of water everywhere. It's hard to imagine how you have lived for so many years."
Speaking of this, the bartender also sighed: "Actually, although there was water shortage before, it was not that serious. It is still possible to maintain the normal life of the people."
"But just a few months ago, an unprecedented drought suddenly appeared, and it stopped raining everywhere except the capital Alba!"
“I don’t know how many innocent people have died of thirst!”
Luo Qing drank the wheat wine in the cup again, and then motioned for him to refill the cup.
"I heard someone said that the king secretly used 'dancing powder' and it became like this?"
Although Luo Qing's voice was very low, the bartender still looked around vigilantly before replying in a low voice: "Don't say this kind of thing outside. There has been some unrest recently. Many people have gathered together in private and don't know what they are plotting. I I don’t want to be implicated.”
Luo Qing smiled, and then asked casually: "I know, by the way, I heard someone introduce someone here to do that kind of business? It just so happens that I have an old rival who doesn't give me face, and I want him to disappear. The silent one, do you have any way?"
With that said, Luo Qing took out a stack of berries and an empty wine glass from his arms and pushed them to the bartender.
The bartender glanced around, then put it into his arms with ease.
"Then you've found the right person. It's the third room from the east across the street. The code is this..."
After silently writing down the rhythm of the bartender's tapping, Luo Qing drank the last glass of wine and asked Nami to leave.
And just after they left, the young bartender quickly recorded something on the note, then turned around, tapped twice on a wine rack behind him, put the note down, and continued his work as if nothing had happened.
. . . . . . . . .
A few minutes later, Luo Qing and Nami arrived at a store with a closed door. From the outside, it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.
Luo Qing stepped forward and knocked rhythmically on the door according to the bartender's words.
After waiting for another 3 minutes, I heard a click and the door was opened!
Luo Qing and Nami looked at each other, and then walked in slightly warily.
It was very dark inside, and then a voice came from the only luminous opening.
"Buy information or hire a killer?"
Luo Qing's original intention was to hire a killer to 'cheat' the person and kill him directly!
However, this approach can only be done once or twice at most, and it is very easy to attract the attention of Sand Crocodile. After all, there are only so many high-level agents, and although there are many people with Devil Fruit abilities, they are not bad on the street.
And even if they planned this, it would be difficult to deceive the intelligence capabilities of Baroque Works.
So Luo Qing changed his mind the moment he heard that the other party was selling information.
"He took out the big gift given to him by Little Snowball from inside the space, and then took out a piece of white paper and started writing and drawing."
Then he handed the paper with some 'ghost symbols' written on it through the light port.
"I want to know the information on this."
The man inside obviously couldn't understand the ancient characters written by Luo Qingzhao, and it was even the first time for him to encounter this kind of business.
After a brief silence, the man inside continued: "Wait a moment, I can't comment on the reward for this task. I need to report it."
"Can!"
Luo Qing was also betting that such trivial matters would not be reported directly to Sand Crocodile, but to Miss Allsunday Nicole Robin, who specializes in sorting out information!
And as long as this thing is in Robin's hands, the next thing will be easy to handle!
As an archaeologist, how could he not be moved when faced with what he pursues all his life
After all, Crocodile took Robin in because of her ability to decipher ancient texts. When Robin learned that Crocodile was searching for the whereabouts of the ancient weapon 'Pluto', she had actually embarked on the path of betrayal.
In order to know the content of the ancient text, it seems that there is no difference in betraying Crocodile in advance.
After waiting in boredom for half an hour, the sound from the wall came again.
And this time the person has obviously been replaced!
The fish...is hooked!
