Chapter 359

"Kill them."

Emilia, who was awakened, spoke briefly.

Rin nodded and continued to question the child.

But after asking again and again, the child could not remember the name of the island or the location of the island, and just repeated some meaningless words.

Qiyu said: "Since we are on a passenger ship, ask those people which passenger ship they are from, and then follow the clues and you may find it."

"This may be a society that studies necromancy, or even a death informant. We must find out."

Rin knew the seriousness of the matter, and then suddenly remembered something and looked at the child. From the conversation just now, he knew that the child's name was An An.

"Black water, you drank it too?"

An An nodded, and his little face wrinkled, obviously thinking of some bad memories.

"Fox, silly roe deer, hurry up and check him."

Although he didn't look sick, he still had to be checked for safety.

Qiyu and Iris checked over and over for a long time, but didn't find anything abnormal.

Qi Yu guessed: "It may be caused by individual deviation in the experiment. It is not clear whether Ayang's is a success or a failure, but the child is fine."

Rin was relieved and went to the restaurant to inquire about the situation.

The information obtained was that the passenger ship they were on all sailed from the Duran Port of the Mars Kingdom.

Rin opened the sea chart and determined the location of the Mars Kingdom.

The kingdom is located at the intersection of Suweidin and Luohai. It is not large in area. There are many small islands outside the main island. Duran Island is an island to the north of the kingdom.

The kingdom did not deviate too far from the original route, but could go directly there, just in time for supplies, and could also contact local nobles and administrators to arrange passenger ships to send the rescued people away.

After making the decision, the ship reset the route and set off for the Mars Kingdom.

Two days later, the ship was guided to the port by the Mars ship.

If the military ships of other countries want to enter other people's waters, they have to go through some negotiations. Church ships are more convenient and they successfully landed on the main island without waiting too long.

King Mars is seriously ill, and the eldest prince Hake is currently handling state affairs.

The eldest prince hosted a banquet for everyone and was very attentive.

Rin didn't want to be polite, so he told them about the pirates and the victims. Hake immediately patted his chest and promised that he would prepare a ship and send them to where they were supposed to go.

At the end of the banquet, Rin talked about going to Duran Island, and mentioned that a case had occurred in the Holy Empire, and he needed to go to the island where An An's family lived to find clues.

The eldest prince, who was originally very enthusiastic and generous, was very hesitant and worried at this time, but he didn't know where to start.

Lin guessed what he was worried about, and said: "The church's ship will stay here for supplies and rest. I hope your country can provide a ship for me to take. I will bear the cost of the voyage."

Hake was relieved and raised his glass: "Your Highness, please don't blame me. The church's armed warships appearing in the sea may cause panic among some people who don't know the truth, and it will be troublesome for travelers to see and spread rumors. As for the cost, it's too polite. We should have entertained the guests."

The more important reason is that foreign ships wandering around recklessly will reduce the prestige of the kingdom and make many ministers question his servility to outsiders.

Rin also knew that he shouldn't go around people's homes with weapons, and he had no objection to this.

After staying in the capital for one night, early the next morning, Lin took his sister and An An, as well as five good players from the church, and boarded the ship provided by the Kingdom of Mars.

This is a large armed patrol ship, which is very fast. Even if it encounters pirates, it can escape. The ship is also equipped with artillery, which is enough to scare small groups of pirates.

The patrol ship set off and arrived at the dock of Duran Island in the afternoon.

An official who was responsible for helping Lin asked in a low voice: "Master, do you want to eat first or go to the Shipping Department first?"

Lin's identity is still too sensitive, and he tried not to reveal his identity as much as possible.

Lin paused and looked back at An An who was walking behind Fei Miao.

He was not as lively and curious as children of the same age, but just followed them honestly, lowering his head and staring at the ground.

"Are you hungry?"

An An shook his head and pointed at Fei Miao: "Just now, Sister Cat gave me snacks."

"Then go directly to the Shipping Department, it won't take long."

After entering the office of the Shipping Department, the official used Prince Hake's handwritten order to transfer staff and files.

Lin found the registration form for the passenger ship when buying tickets that day.

There were no names of An An and A Yang, that is, no names with the words An and Yang.

This was not beyond Lin's expectations.

Ayang was not a local, and most likely he had escaped from the island. He would not register his real information out of caution.

Originally, it was not a special period, and he was not on a high-end cruise ship. The so-called registration was just a formality and should not be taken seriously.

Most port cities would set up similar shipping departments.

In addition to allocating the circulation of ships, another important responsibility of the shipping department is to manage passenger ships and collect fees.

The ticket sales are under the unified responsibility of the shipping department, of which 15% of the revenue will be directly withdrawn to serve as berthing fees and taxes, and used as a checkpoint during wartime.

Some ship owners do not want to be deprived of their interests, and have been soliciting customers privately, so it is even more impossible to have records.

In peacetime, the shipping sector is very lax.

Closing the register, Rin looked at the young woman standing awkwardly aside.

"Are you responsible for the registration and ticketing of this ship No. XX?"

Seeing the woman nodding, Rin pointed at An An and asked, "Do you have any impression of him?"

The woman thought hard for a long time, shook her head, and stammered: "This young master, I am very sorry, I have received too many guests this day, and... and it has been half a month, it is really... …I can’t remember, I’m very sorry.”

Rin thought for a moment and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm just asking. If you remember, you will be rewarded. It doesn't matter if you can't."

When he spoke, he didn't put on his usual arrogant air, and the other party actually relaxed a little.

Rin continued to ask: "With this child, there is a young man. He is not tall. He may have a skin disease and scratches from time to time."

This was Rin's guess based on what An An and others said. The ulcer on Ayang's body was not serious at first, but it was just itchy.

People on the same boat discovered that he had large-scale ulcers on his skin, which only worsened after taking the boat.

The woman seemed to recall something and said quickly: "I remembered it! There was such a person. I looked at him... there were red marks here, and he kept scratching them, so I asked him."

The woman gestured to her neck and ears, and continued: "At that time, he seemed to have said that he was allergic to peanuts, so he was itchy, and he would be fine after a while."

There was no excitement on Rin's face. The other party just remembered that there was a person like A Yang, which was not a clue.

"Besides, if he has any other abnormalities, characteristics, etc., please tell me everything you can think of."

Rin placed a silver coin on the table and pushed it in front of her. The woman's eyes sparkled as she tried to remember.

After a while, she said hesitantly: "I really can't remember anything else, but... I smelled the smell of orange wine on him. The smell was very strong, even stronger than drunkenness, so... maybe it was... Liquor worker."

Speaking of this, she herself shook her head uncertainly.

At this moment, An An, who was dumbfounded, suddenly said: "It's not wine, it's fruit, fragrant fruit."

"Fruit?" Rin asked.

"It's fruit! There are a lot of fruits on the island."

Rin narrowed his eyes, looked around, and asked, "Do you know any fruit that tastes like orange wine?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all shook their heads.

Qi Yu thoughtfully said: "There is a specialty fruit in the southern part of the Meteor Empire, called Orange Fruit. In addition to the unique aroma of oranges, it also has a faint smell of wine. However, it should not be grown here, and the wine taste is weak. , not that strong.”

Then Qiyu thought of something again and patted Lin on the shoulder.

"There's another possibility. I guess it's this. Let's go first. I'm hungry."

Chapter 7: Humans and ghosts will compete with me for men!

After leaving the Shipping Department, the group took a carriage and came to the streets with dense shops in the city.

After getting off the carriage, the boys and girls at the peak of their appearance attracted frequent glances from passers-by.

But when he saw the officials in noble attire and several tall and imposing "guards", he quickly stepped aside and did not dare to look back.

Elise held Rin's hand and looked around curiously. None of them brought their pets out.

"Xiao Lin, I found that the architectural style on the island is different from what I saw on the boat before."

Indeed, as she said, the buildings on the island are tall and boxy, some are made of gray square bricks, and some are made of white square bricks, but the general characteristics are the same.

The houses are all square and rectangular, as if large and small squares are piled up. It can't be said to be beautiful, it can only be said to be novel.

Officer A led them to one of the independent three-story buildings and said: "This is the leading restaurant on the entire Dulan Island, mainly serving our national specialties."

"Then go in."

Rin opened the door first and walked in.

It is now afternoon, and it has passed the peak dining period, but there are still many customers sitting on the first floor of the restaurant. There are rows of ovens in the backyard of the restaurant. I guess the food in the Kingdom of Mars is mainly grilled.

Rin came to the second floor, looked around, and found a table under the dining table. The church crew members sat at another table consciously.

The waiter quickly came over with a menu.

Rin glanced at the menu, and it was as expected.

In addition to scones, the staple food is baked potatoes, and the specialties are basically barbecued meats.

"Why don't you try the roasted pork knuckle? This roasted pork knuckle is the best in the entire Dulan Island. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and the meat is juicy." Official A recommended.

The waiter smiled and introduced: "In addition, our grilled fish is also excellent, but it is difficult to fish in the sea this season. There are no such things as umbrella fish and shuttle sharks, but there are still some saury and leng Leng fish." ”

The existing ones are all from local warm water fisheries, or can still be caught, and are stored frozen, but the prices have increased a lot.

"There's no need for fish. For the roasted pork knuckles, here are four whole ones. You guys should also take a look at what to order. Don't forget the vegetables."

There are greenhouses in this world, and you can eat less vegetables in winter, but the price is very expensive, and only rich people can afford it.

After everyone finished ordering, Rin handed the menu back to the waiter and ordered a pot of hot milk tea.

The first thing to arrive was the roasted pork knuckle and vegetable salad. The waiter separated the pork knuckle very considerately.

The crunching sound of the knife cutting into the puff pastry sounded extremely pleasant. The useless meow on the side swallowed and stared closely at the big elbow that was full of fragrance and juices flowed across it.

"Let's eat, let's eat."

Rin gave an order, and each person picked up a large piece of pork knuckle and put it on the dinner plate.

Pork knuckles come from local black pigs. The meat is thick and firm, juicy and has a hazelnut aroma. It has less fat and is as elastic as tendons. It is suitable for people who like to eat roasted pork.

Rin cut a piece and tasted it, her eyes lit up, she cut a thick piece and put it into her mouth, her mouth was immediately filled with happiness.

A carnivore like Fei Miao had already eaten quickly, and saw only shadows of knives and forks on the plate, which soon became empty.

An'an also grabbed it with her hands and gnawed it hard, and couldn't finish eating it.

Xiye has a standard knight dining posture, quite decent but also very fast.

Her Royal Highness Princess Elise and His Majesty the Demon King, their postures are elegant, and their every move is full of nobility.

The four elbows were gone quickly. Rin was still not satisfied with the waste, so he ordered two more, thinking about packing them away and giving them to others to try.

Elise ate a piece of meat the size of her fist, and a small plate of corn and vegetable salad. She was already about eighty percent full. She was hugging the quilt and sipping milk tea, looking around and admiring it. The decoration and hanging trinkets in the store,

Qiyu temporarily stopped eating, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then said: "I know that the fruit of another thing does have a strong smell of orange wine, but it is not an edible fruit."

Everyone was a little confused when they heard this.

At first they heard the smell of orange wine and heard An An say it was fruit, so they all subconsciously thought it was fruit.

"It's not fruit, it's ingredients?"

Rin asked, while he quickly went through the various materials he knew in his mind. Unfortunately, what he learned was only the basics. After thinking about it, he didn't expect what it would be.

"A kind of potion material, but this thing is banned in most kingdoms, and Mars should be no exception."

Seeing that he was the only one who knew it, Qi Yu curled up his lips, feeling a sense of superiority and satisfaction.

"The scientific name is Heiloupinxiangguo, and the native locals call it Bukabu. After eating it, you will have a strong feeling of drunkenness, and at the same time, you will feel hot all over the body and you will be energetic for a period of time.

After being made into a potion, it can shield pain in a short period of time, break through limits, and gain explosive power. The side effects are also obvious. The body is over-developed, causing great losses, shortening lifespan, and becoming addictive.

The planting temperature of bukabu must be maintained at 22 to 25 degrees Celsius. Transplantation and cultivation are difficult and costly. In addition, it is a contraband, so it is grown in few places. "
