The World of Pirates

Chapter 125

Finally, under the embarrassing gaze of the shopkeeper, Li Cha reached into his arms, pinched a small piece of gold and put it on the counter.

"Is this enough?" Li Cha asked uncertainly.

When Li Cha had money before, he used Bailey to settle the bill, and when he had no money, he used Wuming to pay the bill. He had never used gold directly, so he didn't know the conversion ratio of gold and Bailey.

After verifying the authenticity of the gold, the shop owner quickly nodded and said, "Enough is enough!"

After receiving the high-end version of the permanent pointer from the shop owner, Li Cha went out of the shop one by one, followed by Ella.

The shop selling permanent pointers is located on the edge of Happy Island. After Li Cha went out, he saw a viewing platform in the distance, so Li Cha went straight to the high platform.

Ella changed her arrogance in the store just now, and returned to the beginning, quietly following behind Li Cha.

······
On the viewing platform, Li Cha stood leaning on a railing.This observation deck is adjacent to the beach, and Li Cha's eyes looked beyond the bustling and happy scene below, to the end of the sea and sky.

The evening clouds in the west are low, covering the setting sun, like a transparent flame burning in half the sky.The sky and the sea are boundless and boundless, and the boundaries cannot be distinguished.

Ella stood behind Li Cha, and suddenly asked, "Are you a navy?"

"Uh······"

Li Cha hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It used to be considered, but not now."

Ella's pupils lit up faintly, and then she lowered her eyes without saying anything more.

Li Cha turned around, stretched his right hand into his bosom, and took out a fist-sized piece of gold. There was a clear finger scratch on the round gold ball, which was left when he paid the money just now.

While handing the gold to the girl in front of him, Li Cha said, "This is my reward for helping me lead the way just now."

"I don't want it!" Ella replied without hesitation.

Just now, it was just a small piece of gold the size of a thumb, and it could be worth 500 million Baileys, and seeing the satisfaction of the shopkeeper, it was obvious that its value was more than that.

And right now, this fist-sized piece of gold is worth hundreds of millions, at least, but why did the girl in front of her refuse so simply?
Li Cha was puzzled, but he didn't hesitate, and took the gold back into his pocket.He didn't know that from the first time Ella saw him, she saw that he was extraordinary.

In fact, Ella didn't know exactly who Li Cha was, because she had never seen anyone like him before.

He is clearly a young man, but he seems very old.

Ella is a person who likes to observe. She once paid attention to the eyes of the old man, which were empty and faint, but it was not because she was upright in her heart, but because she had gone through too many things, and she felt dull, tired, and indifferent to everything. ······
Although the man's eyes were not exactly the same as those of the old man, she could feel the alienation and indifference in his eyes.

Moreover, Ella also noticed the long knife on the man's waist.

The scabbard of the long knife is very ordinary, it is made of ordinary shark skin, although the blade is slightly longer than ordinary swords, but judging from the proportion of a man's height, there is nothing unusual about it.However, Ella keenly noticed the opponent's hands, and there were thick calluses on the tiger's mouth.

How many years of knife practice will leave such a thick knife cocoon?How many people have to be killed before people's eyes can be so desolate?
So, even though Ella didn't know who Li Cha was, she knew that Li Cha was absolutely extraordinary.

"Heh~" Looking at the silent girl in front of him, Li Cha chuckled lightly and said, "Just say what you want."

Li Cha could tell that the girl wanted to say something to him, maybe she wanted to ask him for help, but don't get me wrong, Li Cha wasn't going to help her.

The reason why he took the initiative to ask was because the other party did not accept his reward, so Li Cha decided to play the role of a listener as a reward.By the way, listen to the story to pass this boring time.

A long silence followed, and Li Cha didn't rush, just standing on the viewing platform and blowing the sea breeze.

······
I don't know how long it took, the moon rose into the night sky.The moon was as round as a mirror, illuminating the sea in dark blue.

"I think, get out of here." Ella finally said slowly.

"Oh, if you want to leave, then leave." Li Cha casually continued.

"...I, I can't leave." Ella gritted her teeth and said.

"Why?" Li Cha asked at the right time, he has always been a good listener.

"My father was originally a businessman. He took me and my mother to play on Happy Street. At first, he just tried to play, but he was lucky. He won money in the casino, and then he went to Happy Street to squander."

Li Cha didn't speak, and quietly listened to the girl's story.

"... Later, when the money ran out, he sold his mother and went to the casino to gamble. But his luck seemed to run out and he lost all the money, including the usury he borrowed from the casino. "

"Then he committed suicide, but his gambling debt fell on my head. After that, I need to work on the island to pay off the debt."

"Last year, my mother died due to overwork..."

Speaking of this, Ella bit her lips tightly, her body trembled slightly, and the flowers in her hair were shaken off one by one.

"How much do you owe?"

Li Cha was a little puzzled, since she was short of money, why didn't she want her own gold just now?

"······do not know."

"Ok?"

"These years are compounding interest, and the debt is increasing. I don't know how they calculate it. In short, it is a number that I will never finish."

"And I know that even if I pay off my debts, I won't be able to leave the island. I once met a sister, saved up enough money, and was ready to buy herself and leave, but the next day, I saw her dead body. "

"Ah, what a pity." Li Cha sighed cooperatively.

"After tonight, I'll be full and they'll let me pick up."

"...I didn't expect that the people in Happy Street are quite patient."

The focus of Li Cha's attention has always been different from ordinary people.What he meant was that the other party would wait until Ella was an adult before arranging her to "work".According to his experience, this can be regarded as very benevolent.

"Humph!"

Regarding Li Cha's words, Ella snorted coldly, but said nothing.

Of course, the manager of Happy Street is not a good person. Ella has tried every means to make money to pay the interest in recent years. Although compared with the growing debt, it is only a drop in the bucket, but the debt collector reluctantly agrees to wait until she becomes an adult. Arrange for her to pick up guests.

"Picking up guests" here does not mean the same thing as she drove a boat to the beach to pick up guests today.

But Ella has been putting it off for far too long.

She is like a flower bone, the people of Happy Street, like the guests, held back for a long time, waiting for her to bloom so that they can pick it.

The guests wanted her body, and the manager of Happy Street wanted the money in exchange for that body.
