Chapter 4 You are... Murloc!
Maud spent three months on Montmont Island to get his physique to three stars.
In the next five months, even with the support of dietary supplements, the fourth star frame could not be condensed.
In the end, if you want to increase your star rating as soon as possible, the only way is to hunt.
The Dragon Pirates were Maud's first target after an eight-month absence.
In this regard, Maud is looking forward to it.
Small sailboats sailing downwind at sea.
Bailey lay in the cabin basking in the sun.
After many days of sailing, he is almost used to it.
At the bow, Maud looked out at the outline of the land in the distance, with anticipation in his eyes.
Lafayette squeezed his chin, thinking about changing to a reliable mast boat as soon as possible.
Just relying on the current small boat, let alone going to the great waterway, if there is a storm in the East China Sea, it may be overturned by a big wave.
Thinking of this, Lafayette glanced at Maud.
This time, I specially came to trouble the Evil Dragon Pirates, maybe I can get enough money.
In order to get here, it took a lot of effort to get a few nautical charts with coordinates.
Without these charts, even if Lafayette has good sailing skills and is not familiar with the East China Sea, it would be difficult for him to find the island where the Dragon Pirates are located.
Lafayette was thinking about changing ships, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with Maud's motives for coming here.
The East China Sea is truly the weakest sea among the four seas.
In the huge sea area, the pirate with the highest bounty is only 20 million, that is, Aaron, the leader of the Evil Dragon Pirates.
In Lafayette's view, the first thing to do when going to sea is to step on the strongest pirate in the East China Sea, which is the most normal thing.
The so-called fame, stepping on peers is one of the fastest shortcuts.
Furthermore, Maud has been on Mengmeng Island for a full eight months since he was rewarded.
These eight months of disappearance, from the outside world, Moder has mostly become a missing person.
Therefore, this crusade against the Evil Dragon Pirates can also be regarded as a signal bomb for Maud to return to the public.
In addition, you can also grab a sum of money to exchange for the ship.
Lafayette figured out Maud's motive for coming to crusade against the Dragon Pirates.
Don't say it, it's justifiable to make up your own mind.
Maud didn't know what Lafayette was thinking. He looked at the island that was getting closer and closer, and his mind gradually became more active.
"I finally saw the island!"
Bailey jumped on Maud's shoulder, excited.
These days, I can only eat dry food, which makes Bailey very uncomfortable.
When I saw the island now, my first thought was to rush to the island to eat and drink.
Lafayette looked at the environment on the lower shore and turned to Maud.
"Where do you want to dock?"
As far as the eye can see, there are cliffs and sandy beaches.
With the size of their ships, there are only a few places that are suitable for landing.
But Lafayette did not take the initiative, but asked Maud's opinion in the attitude of a subordinate.
"Just the beach over there."
"learn."
The small sailboat came to the shallow water.
Lafayette first retracted the sail, and then flew to the beach with the boat.
Flying over the shallow water, Lafayette slowly lowered the boat to the beach, and immediately folded his wings.
"It would be great if I could fly directly to the next island like this."
Bailey muttered softly, apparently preferring the feeling of being carried around rather than bumping back and forth at sea.
Lafayette pretended not to hear Bailey's muttering.
If this method of flying with a small boat is used as an alternative to sailing, he may become the first member of the team to die from overwork.
Maud stepped off the boat and looked around.
At the end of the beach is a sparse grove with a few trails that have been stepped on.
This is located in the east-northeast of the island, and the stronghold of the Dragon Pirates is in the west-southwest.
The positions of the two are almost diagonal.
Maud deliberately came to this place in a large half circle, in order to avoid the murlocs.
This choice of his is also the only thing that Lafayette cannot understand.
Lafayette doesn't take the Dragon Pirates lightly, but he doesn't think the Dragon Pirates are an enemy worthy of serious consideration.
So, there is really no need to be so careful.
Lafayette didn't ask questions, and Maud couldn't take the initiative to explain.
The reason why I didn't want to be discovered by the Evil Dragon Pirates was to go to Cocosia Village to get in touch with Nami, and then get more detailed information about the Evil Dragon Pirates from Nami.
In order to maximize profits, this information is very important.
"Lafayette, take Bailey to the village to eat something."
"how about you?"
"I have something to do, about money."
"it is good."
Hearing Maud talking about money, Lafayette didn't ask any further questions, and headed to the nearby village with an enthusiastic Bailey.
After Maud watched Lafayette and Bailey leave, he walked along the shore towards Cocosia Village.
While walking, Maud met a middle-aged woman who was squatting on the beach and digging for clams.
In order to save time, Maud took the initiative to walk over.
"Auntie, may I ask how to get to Cocosia Village?"
Maud asked with a smile.
The middle-aged woman was quite vigilant at first, after all, Maud looked very polite, not like a resident of the island.
But Maud was good-looking and so polite, and he relaxed and showed Maud the way.
"thanks."
After Maud thanked him, he followed the direction pointed by the middle-aged woman.
"Boy."
The middle-aged woman looked at Maud, hesitated for a few seconds, and called out to Maud.
Maud stopped and looked back at the middle-aged woman suspiciously.
"What's wrong?"
"What are you doing in Cocosia Village?"
"Go to relatives."
Maud said calmly.
The middle-aged woman did not suspect him, and said worriedly: "Young man, didn't your relatives say anything to you? I advise you to leave quickly, if you are hated..."
Halfway through the words, the middle-aged woman subconsciously shut up and lowered her head slightly, her face full of deep fear.
Maud knew what the middle-aged woman wanted to say, and his eyes swept over the look of fear that seemed to be carved into his soul.
This is the original sin of the weak.
In the face of oppression, there is no strength to resist, and can only be resigned and live in fear all day long.
The more than 20 villages ruled by the Evil Dragon Pirates on this island are only a small corner of the pirate world.
There are countless more cruel and dark places.
Therefore, in this world, power is a very important capital.
Maud looked at the middle-aged woman and smiled: "I know, but it doesn't matter, thank you aunt for your concern."
After speaking, Maud turned and left.
The middle-aged woman stared blankly at Maud's distant back.
Do you know how dare you come here?
The middle-aged woman sighed in worry.
But for some reason, what this young man said just now gave her an inexplicable sense of security.
Shaking her head, the middle-aged woman continued to dig clams.
The villagers have to pay a monthly head fee to the Dragon Pirates.
An adult is 100,000 Baileys, and a child is 50,000 Baileys.
Such harsh conditions make it difficult for the villagers to survive here.
......
After half an hour.
Maud came to a grove of oranges.
He has information of a prophetic nature, so there is no need to go to Cocosia Village.
The orange trees in the forest were planted neatly, and a spacious road of more than two meters was vacated between the trees.
It's the orange harvest season, and every orange tree is covered with beautiful and plump oranges, which shows the owner's dedication to this orange forest.
Looking away from the orange tree, Maud walked towards the house not far away.
Just a few steps away, a woman with a healthy complexion and a shovel came out from the side and blocked Maud's way.
The woman is Nuoqi Gao and Nami's family.
She stared vigilantly at Maud, who she had never seen before, and said solemnly: "Who are you? What do you want to do here?"
In the face of Nuoqigao's question, Maud did not answer, but looked at the house not far away, and quietly used his knowledge.
"Aren't you there..."
Seeing and hearing looked into the house, but did not feel the breath.
Realizing that Nami wasn't home, Maud muttered to himself with regret.
Nuoqigao noticed Maud's gesture of looking at the house, combined with Maud's undisguised regret.
Immediately, Noqigao realized that Maud was here for Nami.
After making this judgment, Nuo Qi Gao's eyes changed, out of the protection of Nami, he took a few steps forward and raised his shovel to smash Maud.
Her original intention was to stun Maud, so she took some strength.
But even if she did her best, it was useless.
Maud raised his hand a little, and then firmly caught the shovel that was slapped at his head.
"Um?"
Nuoqigao's expression changed.
Immediately afterwards, she stared blankly as Maud pinched the shovel into a small iron ball with his bare hands.
This is……
Such a terrifying power.
"you……"
Looking at this scene in horror, Nuo Qigao's head suddenly went blank.
She subconsciously released the handle of the shovel and stepped back two steps, but she accidentally fell and sat heavily on the ground.
"You are... a murloc!"
With his head blank, Nuo Qigao blurted out words without the slightest thought.
In her shallow cognition, only murlocs can possess such terrifying power.
"what???"
A series of question marks appeared in Maud's head.
