Chapter 275 Fengrao Fishing Village
To be honest, Kennekomaru's imitation of wealthy merchants is very poor.
In Gordon's view, Haoshang is the kind of person who looks heroic but is actually shrewd, while Kenkomaru feels more like a passionate young knight.
Perhaps in the latter's eyes, that's what the squinty-eyed dragon-human uncle looks like.
The trading ship set off.
From chatting with Kennekomaru, Gordon learned that this ship regularly travels between Moga Village and Tangia Port, and is an important or even the only bridge for the isolated Moga Village to communicate with the outside world.
The seafood produced in Mojia Village needs to be transported to Tangia Port via trading ships. When returning, the ships will be loaded with various daily necessities ordered by the villagers.
The trading route is single and the distance is short, so there is actually no profit in this round.
However, wealthy merchants still arrange for this trading ship to travel all year round. The main reason is that the old village chief of Mojia Village was a hunting partner with him.
˜With his efforts, the high-quality catch from Moga Village and by-products such as pearls have opened a market in Tangia Port.
This line should continue to exist even in the future after they pass away.
This incident made Gordon's view of wealthy businessmen a little better.
—At least he is a loyal guy.
The straight-line distance from Tangia Port to the isolated island is not far, about two to three hundred kilometers. It only took two days for the trading ship to arrive at Moga Village, located in the southern bay of the isolated island.
This is Gordon’s first time coming to Mojia Village.
It looked pretty much as he imagined. This was a small fishing village that was far from prosperous.
There are many fishing boats docked at the simple wooden pier. The plank road connects the pier to several large rocks nearby, forming the basis of the village. The villagers' houses are built on these rocks.
Perhaps because of the abundance of fish, although Mojia Village is remote, it is not dilapidated.
The fishermen and villagers coming and going are strong and healthy, and they all have satisfied smiles on their faces. It is a village full of vitality.
“Well, I’m back!”
Back to her familiar hometown, the quiet and bookish Ai Xia also became excited. She was the first to jump off the trading ship and happily greeted the familiar villagers at the dock.
“The dialect has appeared, meow.” Zhupa muttered.
“It’s little Aisha!”
“Wow! What a beautiful dress, Ai Xia has completely transformed into a cool girl in the city!”
“Ai Xia came to E’s house for dinner in the evening, and E asked your aunt to make crab soup!”
The nearby villagers gathered around and chattered.
Zhupa scratched his beard and said, "It feels like there are so many Azimyos."
“What is Dialect Meow?” Pandan, who left the desert for the first time, looked at everything around her curiously, especially the rows of dried fish and shrimps on the bamboo racks on the shore.
“It’s the ‘O’ meow you often call me.”
“I understand, meow, it’s like what Mr. Pork Chop likes to say, ‘down here’ meow!”
"'Zaixia' is not meow, the word 'zaixia' used in zaixia is the polite word meow."
“It’s meow!”
Since Pandan became Hayata's hunting cat, Piglet likes to preach to it as a senior. Pandan also likes to argue, so they often quarrel.
Ignore the meows of the two El cats all the way.
Under the guidance of Kennekomaru, Gordon and Hayata met the head of Moga Village sitting cross-legged and fishing at the end of a plank road.
That was an old human man wearing only a loincloth and a cloak.
“Hunters from East Doruma? Welcome to come.”
Gordon briefly exchanged a few words with him. After introducing himself, he explained his purpose of coming.
“Mr. Village Chief, I heard that on this isolated island near Mojia Village, a material called ‘ancient shark skin’ can be obtained.
We would like to ask you about this material and the corresponding monster. If you agree, we hope to obtain your hunting permission. "
Mojia Village is remote and has not yet set up a special hunting gathering place. The village chief, as the head of the village, has the right to issue tasks and approve some hunting behaviors that are not excessive.
"Ancient shark's skin?" The village chief was obviously stunned. After thinking for a while, he asked: "Can I ask more, what do you need the 'ancient shark's skin' for?"
As far as I know, there are very few equipments that can use this material. "
Hayata took over and said: "Mr. Village Chief, we have obtained a blueprint for the production of the Nanman Sword from Mr. Hao Shang. This material will be used in the production and subsequent strengthening of the Nanman Sword."
The village chief held his forehead and sighed, "I knew that guy."
Gordon had a bad feeling.
“About half a month ago, a villager reported to me that in the waters north of the isolated island, there were so many sharks, as sharks are now called in ancient times, that it became dangerous to fish in the sea.
By chance, that guy came to Mojia Village on a trading ship to visit me a few days ago, so I mentioned the matter to him. "
Gordon's mouth twitched.
More than half a month ago, wasn't that the time when they had just arrived at Tangia Port, and then wealthy merchants approached them and used the Nanman sword drawings as "bait" to trick them into going to Lockakla to participate in a gluttonous feast.
So it turned out that this was still being calculated? !
Noticing that Gordon looked wrong, the village chief coughed slightly and said: "That guy was always like this when he was young, making calculations and calculations. I apologize to you on his behalf."
The village chief lowered his head and continued: "If you want to refuse, please don't be mentally burdened. It is quite dangerous to deal with multiple sharks in the water at the same time.
It just so happened that a hunter who walked out of the village would be back in the next few days, so I just asked him to go there.
Of course, if you are still willing to hunt down sharks, I will also issue you a receipt for the hunting mission and calculate the reward according to regulations. "
Gordon and Hayata looked at each other.
To be honest, although they were plotted again, compared to the previous commercial purpose, the reason this time made them a little less angry.
After exchanging a few words softly, Gordon said: "You don't need to apologize, Mr. Village Chief, we will be responsible for hunting down the sharks, which is also the goal of our trip."
“I’m really sorry to trouble you.” The village chief bowed his head again and thanked him.
Tired of the bickering, he finally chose to suppress it with force, and the pig chop that knocked Panlan's head off suddenly spoke.
“Mr. Village Chief, Meow, is the hunter you are talking about coming back Aziz Meow?”
It quite likes the spear user who is keen on fishing, is good at making various fish dishes, and always smells like fish.
The village chief was startled, "Do you know Aziz?"
Gordon also smiled, and he nodded and said: "We spent some time together in the Kurbutios Wetland, and we also hunted the Emerald Water Dragon together. He is a very interesting guy."
“Really? I’m relieved that the child is fine.”
“I seem to hear someone shouting?” A green head like a water ghost suddenly poked its head out of the sea next to the pier.
“Meow—!” Xianglan’s whole cat was so frightened that it flew up.
At that moment, Hayata had the urge to draw his sword.
“Az?!” Gordon shouted in surprise.
A fisherman and hunter wearing skin-like emerald green scales and a strange hood crawled out of the water. The scene was really scary.
The village chief hit Az on the head with a fishing rod angrily: "Stop playing tricks and take off your helmet quickly, it's scary."
Aziz took off his helmet, revealing his brown face and big white teeth, "Hello, village chief! Hahaha, and Gordon and Pork Chop, when did you come to Moga?"
