The man who was imprisoned in the 7th floor of the promotion city in One Piece
Chapter 232 Selling the Compass
Lei Luo and the drinking buddies around him waved and greeted each other from a distance.
At the same time, a young man in a suit wearing a black vest and a white shirt walked in from the door of the small bar.The young man looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, not tall, and there was a sense of maturity in his brows that was inconsistent with his age.
Seeing the young man coming over, the bartender quickly lowered his head slightly and said, "Master."
The young man nodded to the bartender, smiled and said: "Sorry, brother. I am the person in charge of this bar, and I just came here. Before I had time to make adjustments, this brother started to make trouble for me. I taught you a lesson. Big brother, I really want to thank you this time."
Lei Luo laughed and raised his eyebrows.
"This is nothing!"
The young man took out a money bag from his pocket, stuffed it into Lei Luo, and said: "This is the money I gave you for the beer belly that I gave you just now. Also, brother, tonight you and these two girls are in our You don’t have to pay anything in the shop. You three can order whatever you want to drink and take whatever you want to eat. This is our shop’s repayment of your kindness.”
Lei Luo was not polite, said thank you, took the money bag, and accepted the other party's reward generously.
He and Keya Sugar ordered another piece of fruit, a stack of snacks, and a few glasses of special wine.But it was just enough. I didn’t pick out the expensive ones, nor did I order too much.After all, the tavern still has to do business.
Drinks were served, as were fruits and snacks, the most popular of which was a plate of spicy peanuts.Lei Luo continued to chat with the young man in the black vest while jumping up and down while chewing crispy peanuts.
After all, the two of them were idle. They could chat with each other and relieve each other's boredom.
The boy called himself Aureliano, and he was actually only 15 years old this year. Because he looked quite mature, he looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old.
The young man said: "I am a relative of the Brundy family that controls this island. I am responsible for managing this entire tavern for my family. This tavern has the largest customer flow on the entire island. The family has always This tavern is operated as an information trading station on the island. Sailors on merchant ships and pirate ships often exchange information with each other here, or do some transactions that are not so high-profile.
The exchange of information about these transactions will be carried out under the nose of our bartender. If it is not the most evil, our bartender will generally not interfere, but we will also make some summaries of most of the information.I will display some of the more important information and report it to the family.Most sailors who deal with these situations will also know about it.For us, this is also mutually beneficial. "
Lei Luo nodded.
"This kind of operation is very common in the southeast, northwest and all over the world."
The young man said: "Hahaha, brother is well-informed."
Aureliano and Lei Luo chatted about their families.
"Our family's surname is Brundy, and we are the owners of the entire island. Our family has a monopoly on all docks, merchants, mines, and auction houses on the island. The industry is quite large."
Lei Luo heard the words "auction house" and his heart moved slightly.
"Since your family has an auction house, do you collect those strange treasures from here?"
Aureliano said: "It depends on what kind of treasure you bring."
Lei Luo nodded and told Aureliano about the strange golden compass on his ship.The other party listened with interest, nodded, and said: "Brother, you can try bringing your compass to the treasure appraiser of our family auction house to take a look. If that thing is indeed valuable, we will give it to you. It's a good price, but if it's of little value we will help you get rid of it. After all, you have helped us and are a friend of our family. Our family will not treat our friends badly."
Lei Luo nodded and finished drinking with the two girls.Before leaving the bar, he bought two large bags of chili and peanuts from Aureliano, and kept the money after the other party's repeated politeness.This stuff is so delicious, you might as well let the crew on the ship have a taste.
He and the two girls returned to the ship and took down the strange golden compass, and were led by Aureliano to the auction house on the island.
The auction house on this island is decorated very ordinary. There is just a small shop outside with a dusty signboard.After entering the door, my eyes suddenly opened up.Although the auction house doesn't look big from the outside, it actually has a very large hall inside, which is bustling with people. Young girls in uniforms are stepping on high heels to lure the guests here and there. They look very comfortable. .
The three of them paid attention to the appearance of other guests as they walked. They wanted to observe their colleagues, but after a few glances, their attention was attracted by the uniformed waiters.
There is no need to mention what Lei Luo is reading, and the hazy beauty of the novel’s language does not need to be broken.
Keya thought silently in her heart: "This black and white uniform is really good-looking. The white top, black vest and black skirt are the perfect combination. I will buy a suit like this next time."
Sugar stared at the girls' long and slender legs, thinking sourly in her heart: "It seems like they saw off a section and pressed it on my leg."
Aureliano took the three absent-minded people to a treasure appraiser in the auction house.The treasure appraiser was in his fifties, had a goatee, and wore a monocle between his eyelids.The old man took the golden compass from Lei Luo's hand and looked at it again and again. After listening to Lei Luo's description of the general situation, he said lightly: "This thing is indeed evil. We can accept it, but since several people have helped Ao Lei If Riano is busy, then I might as well say it directly. Instead of selling this thing, you might as well keep it for your own use."
Lei Luoqi said: "The pointer of this compass has stopped moving for a long time, so how can it be used?"
The treasure appraiser smiled and took out a very small screwdriver from the tool box beside him.The treasure appraiser put the screwdriver deep into the compass, found a screw, and twisted it a few times.The compass regained its power in an instant. After a few turns, the pointer pointed to the south in a rather unique way.
The old treasure appraiser said: "This thing is not difficult to use. Since it can radiate a new magnetic field outward, its magnetic force will probably not decay under normal circumstances. This thing should be more magnetic than the recording pointer and the permanent pointer. Much stronger."
Lei Luo nodded, but still said: "Let's forget it this time. Even if this thing is not difficult to use, we can't always use only one pointer when sailing. With it, other pointers cannot be used. It’s a big safety hazard.”
At the same time, a young man in a suit wearing a black vest and a white shirt walked in from the door of the small bar.The young man looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, not tall, and there was a sense of maturity in his brows that was inconsistent with his age.
