"I'll try my best!
You wait here for a while, I'll be right back! "The old man said and walked out shakily.
Soon, the old man came back, but his hands were empty. Kirito thought that he didn't buy anything and was about to ask, but he was stopped by the old man.
After taking a sip of wine, the old man slowly said, "You're lucky, kid. There's no problem with twenty Log Indicators. The black market here doesn't want to reveal the location of their headquarters, so they'll deliver the goods to our door. All we have to do is wait here."
The black market here not only has strict rules, but also acts very quickly. The two didn't wait long before a strong man strode in carrying a wooden box.
"I don't know which one of you ordered the Log Pose?
Now it's here, you can check it! "The strong man said to the two.
The old man said first: "It's me, just put it here!
I'm sorry to trouble you to come here! "
The strong man waved his hand, put down the box, and left. He didn't mention the problem of money at all, which made Kirito stunned.
"These guys are very cautious. The guy who delivers the goods and the guy who collects the money are not the same person!" Seeing Kirito's doubts, the old man explained with a smile.
Kirito planned to give the money to the old man, but the old man refused on the grounds that he didn't know how much money it was. He laughed and said: "Haha, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make the future Pirate King owe me a favor!
How can I miss it? "
Knowing that the old man would never accept the money, Kirito had to thank the old man again and again, and then said goodbye to the old man.
Back on the ship, Hinata had already bought the things and was waiting for Kirito to come back. Seeing Kirito coming back with a big wooden box, her brows couldn't help but frown, but she still gently pulled Kirito onto the ship.
"What's going on? You said you were going to inquire about information. Why did you go drinking?
Also, what's this big wooden box?
Is the Log Pointer that big? "Hinata asked.
Kirito smiled sheepishly and explained, "I met a very interesting person, so I couldn't help but drink a few more cups with him. Here are 20 Log Indicators, just in case!"
"What? Even if there are twenty of them, they shouldn't be this big!" Hinata said as she opened the big wooden box.
Inside the box, there were neatly arranged Log Indicators. The indicators were separated by paper and straw for some unknown reason.
Seeing Hinata's confusion, Kirito smiled and said, "This pointer should still use magnetism. I think that if it's placed too close, it may produce a magnetic effect and degaussing it. That's why it's stored like this!"
After confirming the direction, the two set sail again. Now that they didn't know how the other girls were doing, they had to hurry.
After traveling for an unknown period of time, the two of them saw a black dot appear in the distant waves.
Kirito's heart thumped, and hurriedly shouted to Hinata, "There seems to be a boat there. Let's go and take a look!"
If Kirito's guess is right, this girl should be the girl who wanted to help the Millennium Dragon find the Dragon's Cave, Abis!
The two of them came to the side of the boat against the wind and waves, and saw a little girl holding the boat tightly and refusing to let go.
Seeing the pendant on the little girl's chest, they immediately determined that it was indeed the naughty girl, Abis.
Kirito didn't hesitate to take the little girl to the boat. At this time, Abis had fainted, and she was only holding the boat tightly by instinct, not being thrown into the sea.
Kirito looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no Marine ship, he quickly left the place.
In the cabin, Hinata carefully fed Abis a little hot soup, and she soon woke up.
Abis looked around cautiously and asked with a look of horror, "This … Where is this place?
The Marine didn't chase after us, right? "
"Here?
This is our Pirate Ship! "Hinata replied very honestly, and Kirito couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Sure enough, the little girl suddenly shrank to the corner of the bed, hugged her knees tightly, and began to tremble.
Kirito said helplessly, "Hey, you don't have to do this, do you?
No matter what, we were the ones who saved you! "
Abis trembled and said, "I … I have no money, please let me go!"
"We also want to let you go, but in the vast sea, where can you go?" Kirito said.
Abis immediately jumped up and shouted, "What? What's the matter?
Where did my ship go? "
At this time, she seemed to have completely forgotten her fear. She questioned Kirito with her hands on her hips, looking more like a pirate than Kirito and Hinata.
Kirito replied faintly, "Throw it away!
Your boat has been damaged by the wind and waves. If you don't throw it away, why keep it? "
"You … How could you decide to throw away my ship on your own?!" Abis shouted hysterically.
"You want to go back to Warship Island, don't you?
I advise you not to have such thoughts! "Kirito said straightforwardly.
Abis opened her mouth wide in surprise and said with a stutter, "How … How do you know about Warship Island?
Could it be that you're also … "Halfway through her sentence, she realized that she had misspoken and hurriedly stopped herself.
"Don't worry, I have no interest in thousand-year-old dragons, and I don't like immortality!" Kirito said.
The more he said this, the more Abis felt that this person was suspicious, and she became more vigilant.
Seeing the suspicion in Abis' eyes, how could Kirito not know what this little girl was thinking? He said bluntly, "Don't look at me like that. I'm a diviner, so I know everything that happened in between."
"Don't treat me like a child. What diviner? You must be with those bad guys!" Abis said disdainfully.
Kirito had no choice but to tell her everything he knew. "You ate the Whispering Fruit, so you can understand the language of animals. That's how you met the thousand-year-old dragon in the back mountain of Warship Island. He's also your Dragon Lord.
Then you began to help him find the dragon cave, hoping to let him return to the sky.
The Navy has been chasing you for the dragon bones of the thousand-year-old dragon. Am I right? "
"Do you think I need to lie to you after knowing the location of the thousand-year-old dragon?" Kirito looked at the speechless Abis and said faintly.
