Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 354 Tani

Bought a batch of precision maps, it was an unexpected harvest.

Su Lun strolled around the flea market, but couldn't find any more favorite products, and returned to the Golden Walled City.

After buying the materials, he still needs to inquire about some information.

For example, the news of the Cyclops, as well as the whereabouts of the Daru sacred relic [Fal's Holy Grail] and the last [Black Sam's Cursed Gold Coin]

Because Oleg became king, the situation in the North Sea changed drastically, and the "Adventurer's Guild", "Professional Guild", "Alchemy Guild". Those neutral organizations also opened up.

There are many more intelligence merchants, and it is much more convenient to inquire about news.

Anything that can be done with money can always save a lot of effort.

Su Lun put a bounty on the major trade unions, and then went to a tavern to wait for news.

The "Blacksmith Tavern" is a low-end pirate tavern in the city and a market for pirate talent.

There are often a bunch of sailors, cooks, gunners, old fritters or newcomers who do not have a fixed owner.

There are also often pirate captains to pick people.

Su Lun sat by the window, ordered a glass of rum and drank slowly.

"Strange, no one is interested in that gold coin?"

Su Lun got the news that the last [Black Sam's Cursed Gold Coin] was in the hands of a man named "Gurlin Tani".

In fact, he heard the news before he went to Shanyin, but at that time that "Tani" seemed to have gone to sea and was not in the city wall. Now that I'm back, I like to hang out in the pirate tavern.

Su Lun came to try his luck.

But what he was more curious about was that the news didn't seem to be a secret, and many intelligence merchants in the pirate city knew it.

But since he knew that the gold coin was in "Tani"'s hands, why did no one pay attention?

The treasure of the pirate king, so unattractive?

The intelligence businessman just said that the gold coin has a curse and no one wants to touch it.

Su Lun was also puzzled, what curse would be able to block the greed of human nature?

He drank as he thought, and listened to those pirates in the tavern bragging about spanking.

These sailors traveled south and north, and the news in their mouths was quite well-informed. Most of the conversations were about the recent changes in the pirate city.

And that marriage.

"Boss Gar can make a lot of money this time, marrying Mafa's thirteen princess "Princess Frostmoon" Skadi, that is the real royal family. "

"Oh, I was fortunate enough to see the princess from afar at the previous wedding ceremony. God, don't you know, she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life. Her skin is as smooth as the moon and her breasts are the size of a cow. "

"I heard people say that the "Princess Frostmoon" has a bad reputation in the Marfa Empire. She said that her society's lovers can be lined up from the palace to the city gate."

"Haha, I don't know what it's like to be a princess. With her delicate figure, I'm afraid she can't bear the majesty of Boss Gal."

"."

The pirates are most interested in the romantic affairs of the upper class, and most of the topics they talk about are about the coquettish beauty of the princess.

Su Lun also listened with interest.

Although it is mostly hearsay, he also thinks that it may be true.

Marrying far away and coming to Beihai for marriage, then the princess is probably not the daughter who is loved by the emperor.

Or an ambitious conspirator?

In any case, Su Lun didn't care.

Because it has nothing to do with him.

While drinking and drinking, at this time, a one-eyed dragon wearing a pirate captain's suit walked in.

Many of the pirates in the tavern seemed to know him and greeted him one after another.

"Hey, Captain Cij, are you recruiting sailors again?"

"Captain Xijie, I heard that your regiment has found the 'Treasure Map of Bartholomew'. Did you find any treasure this time on the treasure hunt?"

"Don't mention it, the treasure was found, but the manpower lost a lot. Not much money was brought back, and the ship sank in the storm."

"Hahaha, I knew you were bound to encounter a storm. Knowing that Tani's boy is the 'unfortunate bastard cursed by the sea', why do you want to go with him?"

"Although that kid is a moldy ghost, you have to admit that he may be the best navigator in the entire pirate city. If we don't look for him, we won't be able to find any treasures in that sea area, let alone treasures. Hey, don't talk about it, I want to recruit a group of people to salvage my sunken ship full of treasures. You know, it's worth at least several hundred million. Are you interested?"

"Of course! Count me in!"

"."

For a while, the pirates' tavern was also lively.

It was a normal chat, but Su Lun's ears perked up when he heard the name "Tani" from their conversation.

After listening carefully, he realized that this "Tani" is not the same name, it should be the person who holds the third [Black Sam's Cursed Gold Coin].

It turned out that when the guy went sailing, he went on a treasure hunt with this Captain Cijie?

Moreover, Su Lun also captured several key words: the best navigator, the hapless man cursed by the sea, the storm.

"It's kind of interesting, what's so magical about Tani? Listening to what these people mean, when he goes out to sea, he will definitely encounter a storm?"

Su Lun also felt amazing listening to the process described by the captain.

Su Lun stayed in the tavern for two or three hours, almost drinking.

He originally wanted to come back another day, but he didn't want to. When he was leaving, he waited for a message to arrive.

It was a mysterious guy in a ragged sailor suit with the brim of his hat lowered.

The man ignored the attention of others, saw the sign on Su Lun's seat, walked over, and said directly: "Sir, I think you are offering a reward for the 'Cyclops' and [Fal's Holy Grail] news?"

"Oh? Do you have information?"

Su Lun listened, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Although he made a disguise, he still recognized the fire of the soul of the person in front of him at once.

Isn't that the guy who sold his maps at the flea market before?

So coincidentally, this guy still knows the information he wants?

"Yes."

The mysterious man nodded and reminded: "The price of your reward is 100,000 lisos."

Su Lun remained silent and didn't point out his identity. He also knew how to do it, so he took out a stack of cash and said, "This is the deposit. If the information is okay, the money is yours."

There are also pirate rules in pirate transactions, and they all know each other, and there will be almost no problems. Trading in the tavern itself is a major guarantee, and it is not good for anyone if it gets too big.

Su Lun is also not worried about being taken by the money.

The mysterious man received the money and said directly: "The last time [Faer's Holy Grail] appeared thirty-five years ago, when it was in the hands of the 'Marquis of Hayes'. Legend has it that every once in a while a cup of holy water is condensed, which can cure 'karma' and many diseases."

"."

Hearing this, Su Lun was expressionless, but was immediately shocked.

Originally thought it would be another "hearsay" news, but I didn't think that this guy actually gave such accurate information.

Whether it is the efficacy or origin of the Holy Grail, it is completely accurate.

Then the rest are 80% not made up.

He asked curiously, "Do you know where the Holy Grail is now?"

The mysterious man said, "You have to pay the balance."

Su Lun gave another eighty thousand.

The man continued: "The 'Marquis of Hayes' carries the Holy Grail with him wherever he goes. But on a voyage to sea, his fleet encountered the pirate king Sam Bellamy. So, In the end, the Holy Grail fell into the hands of the Pirate King."

Su Lun listened to this story, his thoughts changed, and he said, "You mean to say that the Holy Grail eventually sank into the sea with Black Sam's fleet."

The mysterious man affirmed: "Yes."

"."

Su Lun frowned.

It is a good thing to have the whereabouts of the Holy Grail. With that thing, there is hope for a complete resolution of his mental and physical aberrations.

But... this whereabouts make people a little embarrassed.

On the pirate king's ship, sinking into the sea?

Su Lun frowned and asked, "Can I know where you got this information from?"

The mysterious man thought he was suspicious of the authenticity of the information, and said solemnly: "Sorry, I have my source of information. But I can swear by the 'God of the Sea' that the information is absolutely fine."

For those who walk on the sea all the year round, this is a "poisonous oath".

Su Lun listened, pondered for a moment, and didn't ask any further questions.

This statement is also plausible.

What's more, now that the whereabouts of the third gold coin is known, he will soon know the location of One Piece's sunken ship, and it is not entirely hopeless to get it.

Su Lun didn't continue to talk about the Holy Grail, and instead asked: "Then you know the information about the 'Cyclops'?"

He felt that the guy in front of him seemed to be able to surprise him.

If not, the mysterious man responded simply and neatly: "I know!"

He watched Su Lun give the money neatly, without writing any ink, and directly quoted: "This news you are offering a reward of 50,000 yuan, which is generally worth this price. But if you need, I can give you detailed nautical charts! Just The price will be higher.”

"."

Su Lun was really shocked to hear that.

He had inquired before that there was a "legend" that there were Cyclops on the islands in the dangerous waters of the West, but no one had ever been there, and there was no chart.

This guy actually said, can he give detailed nautical charts?

What the hell is going on with this guy?

Su Lun's heart has been aroused with strong interest, he said solemnly: "If there is a detailed chart, I will pay you 100,000 as a reward for the intelligence!"

Hearing this, the mysterious man was silent for a moment, as if planning.

After thinking about it, he said, "Okay! This is a chart!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Lun watched a roll of charts in leather suits handed to him. His mood at the moment. Can't tell how complicated it is.

Does this guy actually carry it with him?

Su Lun opened the holster, spread out the sheepskin map, and murmured in his heart: Sure enough.

A look at the neat handwriting and delicate patterns on it, isn't it the one you bought before?

Now he is almost certain that this map was drawn by the guy in front of him, or by someone around him.

The map is very detailed, marking a route to an island in the extreme west.

Ocean currents, wind directions, sea beast divisions, temperatures, reef areas have it all.

Su Lun couldn't take his eyes off the chart because it was so detailed.

It is impossible to draw such a detailed map without going there in person.

How did this guy get this chart?

Su Lun's mind raced.

Seeing Su Lun looking at the map fascinated, the mysterious man reminded: "Sir. If there is no problem, you should give the money."

Being reminded by this, Su Lun raised his eyebrows, took out a bag of money, and tentatively said, "I am very satisfied with your information. I think it is, we can establish a long-term relationship."

The mysterious man counted the money, but rejected the proposal, saying, "If you need it, you can go and put up a reward. I see it and will contact you."

Just like selling maps before, this guy was very cautious. After the transaction was completed, he quickly left the tavern.

Su Lun looked at the bottom of his eyes with a playful look.

This guy is like a "treasure", the more you get in touch, the more surprises you will discover.

Su Lun wouldn't give up this rare opportunity. Although he didn't get up in a hurry, the black crow outside the house followed.

But it didn't take long for the black crow to follow, when Su Lun let out a light hum: "Huh, you're really alert."

Although I don't know how the kid discovered it, when he walked into an alley, the black crow was smashed into pieces by a beam of light.

"Very interesting magic equipment"

Su Lun saw the last picture shared by the black crow, the guy seemed to use a very strange device to fire a "laser" to kill the black crow.

All the news that should be inquired was heard at once, and the harvest was full.

The interest in drinking was gone, and Su Lun walked out of the pub.

He planned to go for a walk on the street.

The "Tani" market was in the tavern area, but I'm not sure which one it was.

Teabeard Tavern, Windmill Tavern, Giant Tavern, Blue Whale Tavern.

The streets are full of drunken drinkers, and the coquettish girls greet the guests with their heads and poses at the door.

Su Lun strolled down the street and inquired about it, but no one had seen that "Tani".

I didn't realize that I had already reached the upper floor, which was already a high-end tavern area.

The Golden Walled City is said to be big, very big.

Small is also small.

The pub area is just a few streets away.

Suddenly, Su Lun stopped because he recognized another familiar "soul fire" in his soul perception.

A few half-sized boys blocked a ragged brunette boy, as if they were violent.

"Unfortunate Tani, I heard that you went to sea again and sank the five large ships of the Rhino Group? Killed hundreds of people?"

"Jessica, don't get too close to that guy, he's a bad guy."

"That's right, don't let bad luck get us all."

"Bah! Go, Jessica, Tucker, leave him alone. This guy is a monster, be careful he bites your ears with his fangs"

"Haha, sea monster bastard! Bah!"

"."

After a few teenagers quenched their mouths, they dispersed.

The brown-haired boy kept silent for a while, and when he watched people leave, he silently turned around and went elsewhere.

When Su Lun saw this, he didn't know how to describe his complicated feelings.

Is he "Tani"?

In one day, I met the same person three times, three different scenes, three different outfits, and three identities.

The point is, they also aroused strong interest in Su Lun.

What the hell is this guy?
