Chapter 499 Paradise Island
There is an island in the southern ocean called Paradise Island.
This island is only about a few hundred square kilometers, but it has an excellent natural harbor. It does not belong to any country in the world, but belongs to a person named Nintendo.
The island is named after him.
No one knows the origin of this Nintendo. Some say he is from Dongying, some say he is from Malai, some say he is a monk from Tianzhu, and some say he is a Taoist priest from China.
It's all rumors, because no one has ever seen his true face.
Some even say that he is actually a wizard and a woman...
The reputation of Paradise Island sounds peaceful, but it is actually a den of bandits, because all the ships anchored here are pirate ships.
All the property and goods robbed by the pirates must be sold here. Paradise Island will evaluate the value of the property and goods, and then pay the pirates 70% of the value in silver, and the other 30% is naturally a handling fee.
It should be said that the price is really not much, which is a very close to the people price.
That's why the pirates flock to it.
Paradise Island is not only a place for selling stolen goods, but also a holy place for entertainment.
The entertainment facilities on the island are extremely complete, restaurants, hotels, casinos, bars, shopping malls... Naturally, there are women.
So in the hearts of the pirates, this is their paradise.
"Boss, Paradise Island is ahead, and our fleet can't get close." This afternoon, the fleet finally reached the waters of Paradise Island. About ten miles away, Wu Hanming ordered the fleet to stop advancing.
"This is the territorial waters of Paradise Island, and warships from any country cannot enter it," Wilson explained.
"I rely on, isn't it just a den of thieves, why is it so awesome?" Shangguan Qiji expressed his dissatisfaction, "We have twenty warships, and we can occupy them in minutes."
"Hehe, not to mention twenty warships, even two hundred ships are useless." Wilson said, "The island director Tiantian has powerful mana, not only can call wind and rain, but also can summon dragon monsters in the sea. It was powerful before. The Habs royal family once sent hundreds of warships to attack Paradise Island, and the result..."
As a result, the whole army was wiped out!
Since then, no royal family or country has dared to invade Paradise Island.
"I don't believe this kind of thing." Shangguan Qiji felt that this must be a rumor, "Maybe it happened to encounter a typhoon or something."
"There has never been a typhoon in this sea area." Wilson shook his head, "Besides, how big a typhoon can destroy a fleet of hundreds of warships?"
"Anyway, I think there are ghosts in it." Shangguan Qiji is a person with correct scientific views.
"Hehe, there are ghosts, devils." Wilson said, "Actually, we all call this place Devil Island, and the island that is in charge of Paradise is the devil..."
Only the devil would dare to make deals with the most vicious pirates on the sea.
"Whoever he is, it has nothing to do with us." Xiao Chen ordered the fleet to set up a battle formation and cruise around.
He was also going to make a deal with the pirates.
Bringing Ling'er, Xiao Ye, Fu Yan, Wilson, and Shangguan Qiji to the port in a small boat with a white flag representing peace, they saw hundreds of strangely shaped ships of different sizes moored in the port. Probably a pirate ship.
In addition, there are some freighter merchant ships that should be the spoils looted by the pirates...
Before the boat approached the pier, a fast boat came quickly. The people on the boat signaled them to follow him to a small pier. The people on the pier used iron hooks to draw the boat closer and tied the cables.
A young man with blond hair and blue eyes in black robes was waiting at the pier. When he saw Xiao Chen and others coming ashore, he bowed very politely, "I'm crying for you!"
"Huh?" Xiao Chen thought to himself, does the fucking old man look like a little devil?
"Sawadika!" The young man hastily changed another language.
"We are Chinese!" Ling'er said loudly.
"Welcome!" The young man immediately changed to Chinese, how many languages does this guy know?
"Thank you, my name is Xiao Chen, what's your name?" Xiao Chen smiled.
"Just call me Johnny." The young man's smile was quite warm, "Huaxia is a beautiful place, right?"
"Yes, I also welcome Johnny to visit Huaxia." Xiao Chen said.
"Maybe... May I ask Mr. Xiao Chen what are your goods?" Johnny finished the greetings and got straight to the point.
"We're just here to make friends, not to trade." Xiao Chen said.
"Oh...that's very welcome too, you know, we need friends." Johnny froze for a moment, then smiled brightly again.
"Can you help me find a place to live? I think we may need to spend the night here." Xiao Chen said.
"Of course, it's just..." Johnny glanced at Linger and said hesitantly, "Are you sure this beautiful girl is going to the island too?"
"Why do the rules here not allow girls to go to the island?" Xiao Chen said.
"No, no, what I mean is that there are many rough people on this island, and they might be rude to this girl... Mr. Xiao Chen should know that this is a very dangerous place."
"I like taking risks." Xiao Chen smiled, "But thank you for your reminder, we will be careful."
"Well, good luck to you then." Johnny shrugged.
Paradise Island looks more like a small resort town. There are cobblestone streets that are neither wide nor narrow. There are various shops lined up on both sides of the street. There are large and small wooden houses hidden in the woods on the hillside. The uneven stretches almost cover the entire island. Almost all the facilities in the town Yes, but no one...
"I didn't expect it to be so quiet here." Xiao Chen suddenly had a creepy feeling, why do I feel that this place is not like heaven, but more like a ghost town?
Is it too quiet?
It stands to reason that it is impossible for there to be no one. There are so many ships moored in the port.
"It's daytime now." Johnny laughed. "Day and night here are opposite to those on land. In other words, the daytime here starts at night."
Johnny led Xiao Chen and others all the way to a large courtyard. There were about a dozen wooden houses in the courtyard, and the distribution was a bit like the Liuheyuan in Fengyang City.
"I'm sorry, I forgot to ask Mr. Xiao Chen, what kind of house do you want to live in? The price of each house is different, and the difference is huge." Johnny waited for the big guy to visit before mentioning it. price.
"I think this place is not bad, how much does it cost?" Xiao Chen is rich and powerful now.
"I'm so glad you like it here, this is the best house on our island, and only ten gold coins are charged every night." Johnny said.
I don't know how much silver is twenty gold coins?
"I don't know what currency you want to use to pay. Gold is ten taels, and if it's silver, it's one hundred taels." Seeing Xiao Chen's doubts, Johnny immediately converted for him.
One hundred taels of silver a day?
You might as well grab it!
"No problem." Xiao Chen smiled, "I like this place very much."
"Of course, it's one hundred taels per person." Unexpectedly, Johnny didn't finish his sentence.
In other words, if six of them lived here for one day, it would cost six hundred taels of silver...
