Chapter 1021 Qian Ruchao

Annan followed Isaac’s gaze and looked back.

—It was a group of men dressed as thugs.

Wearing jackets with many zippers, and armed with a leathery weapon that Annan reminiscent of leather beats, they approached menacingly from a distance.

And what they are chasing in front of is a middle-aged man who looks quite rich in appearance, but is panicked for some reason and stumbled forward.

“The name of that weapon is [Been].”

Isaac explained to Annan on the side: “Because this thing was originally made of baleen panels of

baleen whales. “Do you know baleen panels?

Baleen whales have no teeth, and baleen is what they use to filter food.

It has a fair degree of toughness and is a very good material.

Since the age of elves, old sailors have used whalebone to make special self-defense weapons.

“You only need to tie an iron block to a section of the baleen, and then tie it up with a cable to form a very easy-to-use hammer. Because the baleen in the middle is quite flexible, it is easy to exert force while making it easier to use. It’s not easy to let go. Compared with a hammer, it’s easy to carry… Of course, the biggest advantage is that it’s cheap.”

“There are a lot fewer whales now.”

Annan turned his face slightly and whispered: “It’s still It seems that the only people who hunt whales are the Noahs.”

“This is actually also because of the gray fog. In the past, the name of this place was not ‘Black Sail Town’, but ‘Red Sail Town’. But the whales of these years Fewer and fewer whaling teams go out to sea with red sails, but more pirates with black sails…”

Isaac chuckled: “Of course, the gray fog will not sink below the surface of the sea. , but will float in the air… This keeps the fish from being corrupted by the curse, so fishermen can still fish.

“These fishermen are ordinary people, so the curse can’t corrode their souls. For them, the biggest disadvantage of the gray fog is probably that ‘the food will spoil very quickly at sea’. But as long as you get back fast enough, don’t go to the far sea, In fact, it is no different from before.

“But you may not know, Your Majesty, that a whale is not a fish – it cannot breathe in the water, but needs to return to the sea for ventilation.

And in the process, the whales inhale a lot of gray fog.

“Although the gray fog will not erode the whales, the food in the belly of the whales will be more easily eroded by the gray fog and rot and deteriorate. Eventually, gastroenteritis or stomach cancer will be diagnosed, which makes the number of whales sharply reduced to the age of elves. One twentieth of the total.

“Another reason is also because of the invention of green fire – the existence of green fire, which has replaced whale oil.

But because the number of whales suddenly plummeted, the number of fish began to increase, so the coastal cities did not lose too much food.

“Whales are quite rare these days. The extant whales

now have a new ability – they can judge the concentration of the curse in the vicinity before they come up. If the concentration is not too high, they will come up… and because they breathe gray fog for a long time. , they themselves are gradually alienated and have special abilities.

“First of all, the size of the whales began to increase abnormally.

Almost three to four times as many as in the Second Age… and they also gain some special abilities.

Since whales are already cursed creatures, the materials on them – such as ‘baleen’, naturally become expensive cursed materials.

“Then the sailors, and the thugs in those ports…they couldn’t make weapons out of baleen anymore. So they modified it. Instead of using baleen as a filler, they used tanned baleen on the outside. Leather, solid lead stuffed on one end, cotton padding inside…”

As Isaac was talking to Annan, the group of thugs finally caught up with the middle-aged man who seemed to have neglected his exercise. people.

The surrounding crowd did not respond to this.

They are not panicked or afraid.

Just stand there and watch the fun.

It wasn’t that no one was afraid at all, but at first glance, those people were foreigners, or, in other words, foreigners who came to Denisoya for the first time.

“What’s the matter?”

Annan asked Isaac, tilting his head slightly, “It seems very common…even people are not afraid of them.

” A native, but certainly knows Denisoya better than Annan.

And Isaac did not disappoint Annan.

He nodded and explained: “Those people are opening gambling stalls.”

“Gambling stalls?”

“It’s a pawnshop with gambling, or you can understand it as a casino with a pawnshop function.”

Isaac narrowed his eyes, Look at the group of people.

The group of thugs from the gambling stall soon surrounded the middle-aged man.

They took out the “baleen” and patted the middle-aged man’s forearm, calf, lower back and groin.

Soon the middle-aged man let out a series of miserable howls like killing pigs – his arms turned blue-purple at a speed visible to the naked eye.

There also appeared to be broken bones.

And Isaac looked at him indifferently.

He introduced calmly: “Don’t look at how light the baleen looks… But with a proper hammer blow, it can crack the skull; if it hits the chin, it can make people faint immediately. Use it to break The limbs are also much easier than hitting with a stick. The most important thing is – it hurts especially.”

“So, what are these people doing?”

Annan pointed to the group of strong bodies with his chin. Jian, the menacing thugs: “Are you taking back those who escaped gambling debts?”

“Yes, no.”

Isaac replied: “The so-called gambling stalls are bound to exist in places where pirates are prosperous… Because the ‘pawns’ in gambling stalls aren’t just treasures.”

“What’s that?”

“—Of course it’s people.”

A lean, dark-skinned old man stood behind them and took over.

He was wearing a short shirt, and the traces of the sea breeze could be seen on his face.

On the feet are open-toed bamboo shoes similar to sandals.

The old man also looked at the man indifferently, with undisguised schadenfreude on his face: “Even if it is the top card boy, it will not be easy to enter the gambling stall… Unless it is against someone…”

“Have a grudge .

”

You gamble on the arm, you gamble on the head.” The

old man sneered: “Small trouble. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com really come to the gambling stall to play, or those pirates

. The traitor, the woman and the child of the enemy’s family are dealt with.

There are also merchants like pirates who can only sell their children after taking out a loan and not being able to pay it back.

“Qian… Here we are, it’s like sea water. When the sea rises and falls, so does the money. The old won’t go away, and the new won’t come…” The

old man said yin and yang, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Annan looked thoughtfully at the middle-aged man dressed as a businessman with a pot belly.

In this way…

“Probably the goods were robbed by thieves… The idiot who wants to use his wife and children as gambling books to turn the tables, but gamble his own life in it.”

Isaac’s green pupils were quiet and deep: ” There’s a lot of idiots like this in the United Kingdom.”
