Pirate: Give me your power

Sure enough, Bayi rubbed his fingers, showing a philistine smile that met the society's expectations of businessmen: "It's only [-] Baileys."

Logan smiled: "Is it guaranteed to be a deal?"

Bayi's smile remained unchanged: "Master has a very strange temper, and the younger one can only make an appointment for you. As for whether the negotiation can be made or not, it depends on your own ability."

"That's it."

Logan firmly refused.

Just kidding, introducing someone is [-] Baileys, which is worse than black intermediaries.

What's more, I don't know if the negotiation can be completed, and I don't know how much it will cost.

The money for Kuku Nuoer's new ship has not been paid yet. If he accidentally spends it here, he will go to rob again.

It's always bad to fight and kill people.

What's more, Logan can use the wind to make a scabbard, which can barely be used in battle.

So, think twice, there is no need to spend this wrong money.

Logan patted the handle of the knife and said without hesitation: "Let's talk about it."

The smile on Bayi's face froze for a moment, but recovered quickly. Looking at Logan's broad and straight back, he opened his mouth to sell and still dared to say it.

After half an hour.

"Everyone in the Souvenir Shopping Street has finished shopping, so please allow me to take you to the most famous place in Maralui—the amusement park!!"

With a smile all over his face, Bayi suddenly waved his hand down, pointing to a place in the distance where there was a lot of voices and screams.

Mi Keou regained his energy in an instant, and rushed out with short legs.

Logan and the others followed behind with a smile.

At the exit of the souvenir commercial street, there are a strange number of carriages parked. The reason why it is strange is that the horses are not real horses, but wooden horses.

But the outside is covered with a layer of leather, which looks lifelike and vivid, as if it is grazing with its head down. If you don't look closely, you can't see it at all.

Bayi walked up to a yellow five-cornered carriage, leaned over and saluted Logan and the others: "Everyone, please get in the carriage."

There was no driver in the carriage, and Logan looked at the bay red wooden horse with its head lowered in front of it and asked strangely, "How do you move?"

"Watch me do it."

Bayi put his hand under the ponytail, moved it twice, then retracted his hand, sat on the gorgeous seat, and said with a mysterious smile, "Please wait patiently for a few seconds."

Click! Click!

A few seconds later, there was a slight sound of gears turning inside the wooden horse. Immediately afterwards, the wooden horse raised its strong neck, screamed upwards, and slowly moved forward with four hooves.

"so amazing."

Mikoo pulled the carriage with a curious expression on his face.

Da da da da!

The crisp sound of horseshoes falling on the bluestone slab, one after another, is crisp and pleasant.

"Good technology."

Logan glanced at it, full of praise.

"The Island of Ingenuity and Pleasure", Maralui is most famous not for its shopping, but for its amazing carpentry skills.

More than ten minutes later, when the carriage arrived at its destination, Bayi got out of the carriage and turned around, saying passionately to Logan and the others who came down, "Welcome to Maralui!!!"

After passing through the ticket office and handing Bailey over to the staff member in a bright puppet coat, Logan and the others entered a brand new world!

Big pendulum, roller coaster, roller coaster, crazy battle city...

The milder ones include luxury carousel, round-the-park train, ferris wheel, happy ocean, juggling circus with happy smiles...

There is also a magical puppet show dance troupe that can dance without any manipulations and make movements that are exactly the same as real people...

And the tallest one, deservedly, is the huge Ferris wheel that stands in the middle of all the amusement facilities like the stars holding the moon, the star of Maralui!

Here, all Logan's fantasies about playgrounds are fulfilled!

What's even more amazing is that the Maralui Playground adopts a full mortise and tenon structure. The entire building does not use a single nail. From the entrance sign to each amusement facility and public facility, all are exquisite log mortise and tenon designs. It is simple, clean and ingenious, leaving no gaps.

Simply incredible!

"The playground not only has play facilities, but also a special place to rest if you are tired. I will accompany you all the way here. Please relax and play."

Bai Yi's body was filled with a happy atmosphere, as if he was also infected by the people playing around.

"Oh oh!!!"

Mikoo cheered, jumped up and grabbed Logan's hand, pointed at a chaotic car team colliding passionately, emotionally: "Play that!"

"Play and play."

Logan was in a happy mood and showed a smile.

When you come to the playground, don't you just open it up and play?

……

From daytime to dusk, Logan and the pirates are going crazy, especially on the 300-meter-tall Maralui Star, Mikoo's screams can pierce people's eardrums .

I have to complain again, the development of science and technology in this world is really incomprehensible.

There is the huge Ferris wheel that runs entirely on gears and water flow, and Yundrick's grass-clothed stone spear back then.

However, perhaps after the sea train of Tom, the capital of seven waters, is manufactured and promoted to the whole world, this situation should change slightly.

When the setting sun shrouded the earth and dusk fell, several people lost their interest a little.

Logan and the others found a drink shop and took a break, licking ice cream and drinking iced strawberry juice.

At this moment, Bayi looked at the dim light gradually engulfing the land outside, turned around and said with a smile: "My lords, in one hour, the local curfew will be enforced, let's find a place to stay?"

"curfew?"

Logan looked around, the crowd had gradually left at some point, and Nuoda's playground gradually became deserted.

"Why is there a curfew in such a lively place? Do you have any grudges against money?"

"This, this... Cough, it's not something ulterior."

Bai Yi didn't have too many taboos, and after struggling for a few seconds, he explained: "In recent months, people have been missing on the island, and they all happened at night, so the Martina Woodman Guild passed the curfew proposal until they are caught. The murderer will be lifted."

Logan nodded thoughtfully, but Mikoou asked in doubt: "If you can build such a powerful Ferris wheel, can't you think of a way to catch the murderer as soon as possible?"

Saying that, Mi Keou felt heartbroken: "It's a huge loss!"

Bayi froze for a moment, and wanted to say that those of us who live here haven't said anything yet, why do you, a foreigner, feel so distressed.

what?Do you also have a deep love for the land?

However, Bayi didn't dare to say that, and just said with a smile: "Who says it's not, but my lords, it's going to be dark soon, let's go find a hotel?"

"Small knows a good place, absolutely comfortable and luxurious, and the price is fair."

Bai Yi showed a warm and flattering smile on his face: "Masters, are you going?"

Becky and the others looked at Logan, who blinked and asked, "Is it in the old town?"

???

The smile on Bayi's face froze in an instant, and after a long time, he said, "Well... I don't recommend that you choose to collapse in the old city."

"Why?" Logan raised his eyebrows, with some doubts between his eyebrows: "I heard that many people yearn for the old city, and there are very strict conditions for living in it. Why are you so resistant?"

Bayi rubbed his face, the stiff lines softened a little, and snorted: "They are yearning to join Lord Archimonde's law enforcement team, otherwise the devil would be willing to live in that shameless and backward place."

"Hmm... That's not right. After all, in the eyes of some brainless young people, the old town has a thick layer of idol filters."

"As for the harsh conditions you mentioned, there are a few new city residents who have met the conditions, but they only chose to buy the right of residence, and they still live in the new city."

Logan asked, "Does Archimonde live in the old city?"

Bayi frowned imperceptibly, and said, "Lord Archimonde doesn't live in the old town!"

He deliberately emphasized the word "adult".

Logan chuckled.

It seems that this Archimonde has a strong prestige on the island.

That being the case...

"We will stay in the old town tonight, you lead the way."

Hearing what Logan said, although Bayi was unwilling, he still led the way obediently.

Soon, after leaving the luxurious playground for about half an hour, a remote road appeared in front of Logan, leading to the small town by the lake.

It's just that the curved arc of this road is a bit large, and there are high dirt hills on one side, as if people deliberately took a long way around.

At the end of the road, there is a quiet small town.

It lay quietly on the bank of a deep lake, like an old cat.

In Logan's vision, this is a small town with low wooden buildings side by side and a leisurely atmosphere.

Suddenly, Logan noticed the shadow of a huge monster on the other side of the lake. Looking at the shape under the sunset, it looked like a huge gear that was randomly discarded in the wilderness by an indomitable giant.

Facing the doubts of several people, Bayi smiled and asked: "I wonder if you adults have watched the puppet show?"

Becky nodded, unable to hide her excitement: "It's just like a real person, it's incredible meow!"

Bayi raised his chin lightly, pointed at the huge gear building, and said proudly: "They, as well as all the wooden horses and puppets on the island, all come from Lord Archimonde's puppet factory!"

"Lord Archimonde is a rare carpentry genius! With his overwhelming talent, he attracted carpenters from all over the world to gather here, and established the world-famous Martina Woodman Guild!"

"In just ten years, he made a poor town that was once devastated by pirates skyrocket!"

"There is no doubt that Lord Archimonde is the greatest person in this world!!!"

Bayi's voice became more and more excited, and he spared no effort to praise the man named Archimonde.

"Wow!!"

Mi Keou exclaimed in shock.

The faces of Betsy and Ali didn't change much. In their view, Logan was the greatest person!

But only in Mikoou's shocking expression and exclamation, Bayi was also very helpful, and his face was bright.

Soon, the twilight deepened, rendering the whole small town, Logan and the others followed Bayi on the lively streets.

Yes, hilarious.

It is different from the desolation in the new urban area and the hurried looks on the faces of pedestrians.

People in the old city are unhurried and slow, without the slightest sense of tension about the imminent curfew.

Logan saw people on their way home from get off work, women carrying fresh vegetables, and peddlers leisurely closing their stalls. They crowded the entire narrow old street.

However, it is strangely not noisy.

The laughter and scolding of the stout workers on their way home after a tiring day, the cordial farewell sounds of the clerk looking at the back of the customer, and even the old man sitting on the street drinking and talking...

It seems that this is a poor but happy town.

However, in Logan's sense, there was a slight incongruity in their actions and words, so that Logan felt as if he was watching actors performing a bad drama.

The smile on the corner of Logan's mouth was subconsciously pressed down, looking at such a city scene with displeasure.

Bayi caught a glimpse of Logan's expressionless face, and quickly said with a smile: "My lord, the old city is like this, but these people will disappear soon."

Logan noticed his choice of words: "Disappear?"

"Yes." Bayi glanced sideways at the bustling street, with a bit of disgust in his tone: "These people are all bastards who are trying to go home. They won't leave until the last moment of the curfew, but when that time comes, they will be in a hurry." The bee chrysalis comes home like a brainless pig!"

"Moreover, those missing are all travelers and businessmen from the new city and the past, and there is no one from the old city!"

Bai Yi's face was a little angry, which is an emotion that a mature tour guide should not have.

However, it's not his fault.

People who have lived in the new city for a year will feel dissatisfied with the old city, and this dissatisfaction will become more severe as time goes by.

There are two urban areas in Maralui, a new urban area and an old urban area, which are managed by the Martina Woodman Guild.

Among them, people in the new city are in charge of everything, while the old city enjoys all privileges.

No need to earn money, no need to pay taxes, no need to do anything, the guild will unconditionally allocate 30.00% of all wealth and income to the old city every year!

But the living environment in the old town is still so bad, it's no different from ten years ago!

So where did the money go?

There is no doubt that it went into the pockets of these people!

Bai Yi glared at the guys in tatters and talking and laughing in front of him!

asshole!Worms!Mess with fat pigs waiting to die!

What are you wearing!

You are so rich, you still wear such shabby clothes, and you still do such a despicable job, who are you pretending to be for?

Don't think that Lord Archimonde lives in the old city and you can do whatever you want!

Lord Archimonde just raised you for ten years for the sake of fellow countrymen!

Lord Archimonde's vampire! ! !

Didn't you see that Lord Archimonde has always lived across the lake and never been here?

A group of disgustingly contrived vampires!

Like Archimonde and loathe the old town, in the eyes of Bayi and even many people in Xincheng, they are completely different things!

It is worth mentioning that only those who lived in the old city ten years ago were able to enjoy the privilege, and those who came later were not counted.

People from the new city sharpen their heads and want to join Lord Archimonde's law enforcement team, but people from the old city can get in with their mouths...

Ahhh! ! !

The more I think about it, the more angry the Xincheng people are! ! !

"What a bunch of bastards! Damn bastards!"

Bayi gritted his teeth and grunted.

Logan looked at Bayi's unknowingly ferocious and terrifying face, then at the noisy crowd, and said softly, "You don't mean to say that the murderer of the missing person case is someone from the old city?"

Bayi was stunned for a moment, then realized his gaffe, quickly rubbed his face, and squeezed out a chrysanthemum-like smile: "I made you adults laugh... I didn't say that."

Bayi looked at Logan and said with a meaningful smile.

Logan hummed and shrugged.

The smile on Bai Yi's face remained unchanged, he bent down, pointed to the alley on the left, and said, "My lords, go straight in. At the end of the road is the only hotel in the old city. It's just a B&B. The owner is an old man in his 60s or [-]s."

"Why, won't you take us there?"

Logan didn't move his feet, but looked straight at him.

Bayi bowed apologetically, and said, "I had a bad fight with that boss before, so it's inconvenient for me to accompany you."

Of course, another reason was that he didn't want to stay in the old town for a second!

Logan nodded, not reluctantly.

Becky handed over fourteen hundred Baileys: "There's no need to look for meow."

Bayi accepted the money, smiling all over his face: "I don't know if you adults still have the intention to play tomorrow. The small ones refer to those hidden places to play-returning caves, miracle flowers, war relics and so on."

Logan turned and walked towards the alley, and waved his back to him: "Come find us in the old city tomorrow."

The smile on Bayi's face was even wider, he touched his chest with his left hand, and bowed in a salute: "Good night."

Walking along the mottled and dilapidated road, Mi Keou kicked the weeds on the side of the road in dissatisfaction, slapped an offending mosquito, and pouted: "Why is there such a place in Pleasure Island~"

Becky stretched out a finger and scratched her chin, lacking in confidence: "Maybe it's to not forget the original intention? Meow?"

Ali: "I don't really believe it."

Logan smiled.

While the few people were talking, they had already reached the end of the alley.

Stop and look up, there is no signboard.

Although the appearance is a little old, it is a magnificent three-story wooden building.

The wooden steps extend to the entrance, and there are simple and weather-beaten carvings on the door.

"arrive."

Logan stepped up the steps, creaking and creaking.

Stepping into the porch, the door was ajar, and Logan pushed the door open and entered.

"It's incredible."

A magnetic old man's voice came, revealing a surprise.

Logan followed the prestige and saw that the speaker was a spirited, kind and kind old man.

His hair was carefully combed without any mess, and the silver-like white hairs were clearly visible in the dim light.

In the slightly sunken eye sockets of the old man, a pair of dark brown eyes seem to be quietly telling the years and vicissitudes.

Logan was taken aback, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he nodded and said, "Excuse me, we are tourists who have come to stay overnight."

The old man smiled kindly, took off the reading glasses on his eyes, got up and said: "Welcome, welcome, the old man has not had guests here for ten years."

Mi Keou was surprised: "Then it's really amazing that you can continue to drive."

"Yo ha ha ha ha."

The old man laughed heartily, took a long feather duster of unknown hair from the counter, and walked over to gently sweep the dust off Logan and the others.

"There is nothing left or right, this is the last thing the old man can do to Maralui."

The old man ushered Logan and the others to sit down at the old but clean round table, moved a chair and sat down, and said with a gentle smile, "You can call the old man Uncle Jinde, don't call him Grandpa Jinde, old man You won't be happy."

"Where are you from, have you ever played in the amusement park in Xincheng? Are you happy?"

"Did you be taken aback? To be honest, the old man was also taken aback when he saw the Ferris wheel for the first time, hahahaha."

……

For more than a minute, Uncle Jinde was talking endlessly.

Logan wanted to speak several times but had no chance, so he could only sigh helplessly.

Unexpectedly, it is very talkative, uncle.

Is it because no one talks all year round?

"Ah... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, because no one has spoken for a long time, I accidentally said too much."

Finally, Uncle Jinde realized his gaffe, and scratched the back of his head apologetically, his old face was full of apology.

Logan handed over a glass of water and said with a smile, "It's okay, you can call me Logan."

"I'm Becky Meow."

"Mikoou! Mikoou! You can call me Xiaoou, I like it when people call me that."

"Ali."

Uncle Jinde took the clear water and took a sip, the smile on his face deepened.

"Have you eaten yet?"

Logan shook his head.

Uncle Jin De immediately stood up and rolled up his cuffs, and laughed loudly: "Then try the old man's handicraft, no money required."

Immediately afterwards, before Logan could refuse, Uncle Kind walked in hurriedly, grabbed a white towel and walked into the kitchen.

Logan and the others were left staring at each other in the living room.

"Very, very enthusiastic uncle."

"It's completely enthusiastic and messy saying meow!"

"Enjoy it, there are not many people like this in the old city."

Logan imitated Uncle Kinder's tone, leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, and said.

Betsy blinked. As the person who knew Logan best among the pirates, she felt that Logan meant something else.

However, she didn't ask.

The other two buddies looked around curiously while chatting.

After a while, the aroma of food floated over from the kitchen.

Uncle Jin De came out quickly with a few plates in his hand.

He said with a hearty smile, "Try it quickly, it's all home-cooked food."

Golden egg fried rice, potato omelette, tomato scrambled eggs, braised pork...

They are indeed very home-cooked dishes, each dish is filled with smoke and smells tangy.

Logan walked around all afternoon, so he was naturally hungry at the moment.

"I'm gonna start now!"

Ali yelled and moved his chopsticks first.

Afterwards, a few people ate their chopsticks like flying, gobbled them up, looked at Uncle Jin De with a smile on his face, and said that it seems that the old man's craftsmanship has not regressed.

After eating and drinking enough, Jin De took a look at the sky, then stepped up the stairs, and greeted him kindly: "The old man will lead you to the second floor, so that you can sleep comfortably."

Becky was a little embarrassed, stood there without moving, and asked, "Uncle Jinde, how much is it for a night at your place?"

The old man smiled and shook his head: "You are the first time in ten years to take care of the old man's business, no money, no money."

Logan felt sorry: "Let's charge a little more."
