Chapter 107 [The Enemy's Road is Narrow] (2)
A magician can go to the sky and into the sea, and can call the wind and rain. A middle-level magician, as long as he is not approached by the enemy, can almost directly crush his opponent when facing a warrior of the same level! Even when facing a high-level warrior, as long as the magician is distanced, the loser will probably be a high-level warrior!
What's more, there is a murderous warrior minion next to this magician.
Chen Daolin exposed his identity as a magician without hesitation, in order to completely subdue the rebellious Captain Hook and prevent him from having any strange intentions in the next journey.
With Hook at the helm, the following voyage will make Chen Daolin feel much more at ease.
Mario and his accomplices continued to do sailor work, and Hook was in charge of the helm. Both sides were already in the same position, and had formed a life-and-death hatred and would never conspire. And they could supervise each other perfectly. No matter what ideas they wanted, they could escape the eyes of the other.
Although when Hook saw Mario, his eyes almost spit out of fire, Mario was also as if he was facing a great enemy and was in panic all day long.
But with Chen Daolin's squadron, they didn't dare to do anything for the time being.
There were originally seven crew members on the ship, including Hook, but now there are only three people left, so the work they do is naturally much heavier.
Chen Daolin asked for the poison from Mario, and he checked it out curiously.
As a magician, he possessed all the magical knowledge of a high-level alchemy master like Mrs. Stone, especially proficient in various theories of potions. Chen Daolin quickly analyzed the ingredients and medicinal properties of this poison.
"It's just a simple juice of the ponytail kite fruit and a little ordinary anesthetic." Chen Daolin couldn't help but feel a little disappointed after he figured out the ingredients of the medicine.
The ponytail fruit is a kind of pharmacy recorded in magic potion. After the fruit of this plant can be integrated into the blood, it will damage people's spirits. It is nothing, but if a poisoned person is a samurai, the samurai often needs to stimulate his mental power.
Chen Daolin speculated from the perspective of modern people that the so-called "fighting spirit" in this world probably needs to inspire some of the nervous systems of people.
The ponytail pot fruit drug may cause some damage to the nervous system. Therefore, it can be used specifically to deal with warriors.
Ordinary people eat this thing but it has no effect.
Moreover, if you take this kind of thing, the effect will only last for one or two days.
After all, the human body itself has metabolic functions. Some drugs, even some toxic drugs, are not caused by too much or too severe toxicity, and pharmacological reactions have a cycle. After the cycle, the human body's metabolic function will normally eliminate the drugs and slowly restore the body's original skills.
The poison Mario used was just obtained by another local snake boss in Port Dean who was doing the black ship business. How could this level of goods get that kind of truly powerful magic potion?
It's just an ordinary person.
This chronic poison, combined with some anesthetics, has the effect similar to the so-called sweating drug, and is probably more violent.
But after Hooker takes it, he will recover slowly in one or two days at most.
However, after knowing Chen Daolin's identity, even after recovering his physical strength and force, Hook did not dare to do anything.
...
Two days later, the ship finally arrived at Half Moon Island.
This is a relatively large island within the jurisdiction of the Newhoven province on the sea.
The area of Banyue Island is not small. According to the map of the Roland Empire that Chen Daolin prepared before going to sea, this island has an area of dozens of square kilometers.
Thanks to the senior Duke of Tulip Du Wei, Duke of Tulip, who has been in power for decades and did something that Chen Daolin was very grateful to: basically all the units of measurement of the Roland Empire were changed according to the real world.
On the Half Moon Island, which is dozens of square kilometers, one-third of the land is hillside, and two-thirds of the area is flat and suitable for people to live in. The most important thing is that it also has rich freshwater resources.
Half Moon Island is the top five large islands among the dozens of inhabited islands in the Newhoven province on the sea. It has a permanent population of over 10,000.
In this Roland world, even on the mainland, cities with a population of more than 10,000 are already considered prosperous. What's more, because the nearby waters of this Half Moon Island are close to the pearl-producing area, the pearl industry has developed business. In addition to the local permanent population, there are also many migrant populations on the island.
In general, the total population on this Half Moon Island will not be less than 20,000.
Half Moon Island, as the name suggests, has a terrain like a curved moon.
This terrain makes the south of the island a narrow and natural bay, and the bay here is very deep underwater, making it a good deep-water port in this world.
After decades of development, the port terminal here has been built very well.
When Chen Daolin's boat entered the port, he saw large and small sailing merchant ships moored in the harbor, and there were some scattered fishing boats and pearl fishing boats running on the sea not far away.
Sitting on the boat, you can see the scenery on Half Moon Island. From the coast, you can see the outline of the city on the island.
After all, it is an island city, not far from the coast, and there are no tall buildings here... Because there are monsoon storms all year round at the sea, the buildings in such places are not too high.
Looking at the house with a very real-world tropical country architectural style, Chen Daolin saw it quite fresh.
However, Chen Daolin did not intend to enter Banyue Island. He just asked the boat to be docked here to replenish fresh water supplies.
Chen Daolin chose Mario's accomplice: the timid sailor who was a little afraid of things and was cowardly.
Whether it was Hooker or Mario, Chen Daolin was not very relieved of these two guys.
He himself did not plan to go ashore, so he finally chose the timid sailor. With his temperament, he probably didn't have the courage to do anything.
Chuck was left to guard the ship, and Chen Daolin's order was very direct: whether it was Hook or Mario, they were locked in the cabin, and if there was any abnormal movement... kill it directly!
Chen Daolin himself followed the sailor to go ashore to purchase supplies.
The timid sailor is called Gold Teeth.
After getting off the boat, the two of them were walking on the road, but Chen Daolin looked at the trembling guy and couldn't help but tease him: "I have a question to ask you."
"Old, Master, please ask." Jinya's body shook.
"You don't have gold teeth in your mouth, why do you call this name?"
Jinya was stunned and then cried: "Reply to the master's words... I... I originally had a golden tooth, which was the only valuable property left to me by my father, but... but... I lost the gambling later."
Chen Daolin nodded, and then deliberately looked at the guy with a fearful look: "Are you afraid of me?"
Jinya shrank her head: "I, I..."
"It's right to be afraid." Chen Daolin smiled faintly: "If you are afraid of me, just listen to my instructions to do things honestly and don't think about any messy thoughts."
"I, I dare not!" Jinya hurriedly begged for mercy: "Master, I, Mario and I have been instigated by him to bewitch you. I, I really don't..."
"I won't ask more about your affairs. It's not me who rebels against you, so don't beg me for mercy." Chen Daolin smiled faintly, looked at Jinya's pale face, and then thought about it, and showed a smile: "But you are very timid, and you don't think you are the kind of person who dares to do such a big thing. Look, you were also cheated by that guy Mario."
"Yes, yes!" Jinya nodded repeatedly and said quickly: "He promised me a lot of benefits. I, I was confused for a moment and became obsessed with the ghosts, so I was so instigated by him. I, I don't have the courage, Master, and I have never done anything bad... I... When they rebelled against Boss Hook on the boat, I didn't dare to kill anyone!!"
Chen Daolin ignored it and said lightly: "I understand. If you do your best and satisfy me, I will consider ensuring that you are thorough."
Jinya looked shocked, and looked at Chen Daolin with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
Such timid and fearful people are best controlled by them, just want to escape from sin and live.
Chen Daolin captured the vital points of such a guy, and Jinya was immediately subdued by him.
The two of them came to the shore and walked into the port. The port on Half Moon Island was very prosperous, but it was also quite dirty. Chen Daolin walked along the way and watched the sailors and coolies in dirty clothes working at the port.
A warehouse was built next to the dock, and you could see some clean-dressed men. They were subordinates of some business associations. Many of them were wearing weapons and looked sophisticated.
This is not surprising. After all, it is far away from the mainland and is lonely overseas. Moreover, business is prosperous and wealth is gathered. Although ships are circulating at sea, transportation is not as convenient as those on the mainland. The control of the local government is not comparable to that of the mainland government. Public security is inevitably a bit poor. In order to protect themselves, those business associations and business groups will naturally raise some of their own escort thugs.
Jinya was very familiar with Banyue Island. She took Chen Dao out of the port before leaving and entered the city.
The streets in the city are very simple, but the planning is neat, horizontal and vertical, although rough, but simple.
Although the streets are a little dirty, the prosperity of wealth gathering cannot be concealed!
Chen Daolin looked here and suddenly felt a familiar feeling... The three-independent "free port" outside the Northern Empire seemed to have this smell.
Although the pearl industry is developed here, the streets are not full of pearl business shops like Dean Port. On the contrary, most of them are ordinary shops in ordinary towns.
Jinya introduced that those who come here to do pearl business are all experts, and those pearl shops that open randomly on the streets will naturally not be seen by those big businessmen who do pearl business.
There are several large business associations in the city who do pearl business, which almost monopolizes 80% of the pearl transactions here.
In addition, some small business associations and small businessmen naturally have to live, so there is an organization called the "Pearl Guild", which is a joint organization with dozens of small business associations and a large number of small and medium-sized pearl merchants.
