Chapter 1021 Money is like tide

  Annan followed Isaac's gaze and looked back.

  ——It is a group of men dressed as thugs.

  They were wearing jackets with a lot of zippers, and carrying a leather weapon that reminded Annan of a leather racket, they walked over aggressively from a distance.

  And what they were chasing in front of them was a middle-aged man who seemed to be rich in dress, but was panicked for some reason, stumbled forward and fled.

  "The name of that weapon is [Whale Baleen]."

  Isaac explained to Annan: “Because this thing was originally made of baleen whale baleen.

"Do you know the baleen board? Baleen whales do not have teeth, and the baleen is their teeth when they filter food. It has a considerable degree of toughness and is a very good material. Since the age of elves, there have been old sailors using baleen to make it. Special self-defense weapon.

"You only need to tie an iron block to a section of the whale baleen, and then wrap it with a cable to form a very easy-to-use hammer. Because the main body of the whale baleen in the middle is quite tough, and it is convenient to exert force at the same time. It’s not easy to get rid of. Compared to a hammer, it’s easy to carry...Of course, the biggest advantage is that it’s cheap."

   "Whales are now a lot less, right."

  Annan turned his face slightly and said in a low voice, “It seems that there are only Noahs who are still hunting whales.”

"This is actually because of the gray fog. In the past, the name of this place was not called'Black Sail Town', but'Hongfan Town'. But in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer whales, and the whaling team going out to sea with red sails has also There are fewer pirates with black sails..."

  Isaac chuckled: "Of course, the gray fog will not sink below the sea surface, but will float in the air...This prevents the fish from being corroded by the curse, so the fishermen can still fish.

"These fishermen are ordinary people, so curses cannot corrode their souls. For them, the biggest disadvantage of the gray fog is probably that'food will spoil very quickly at sea'. But as long as they come back fast enough, don't go to the far sea. In fact, it is no different from before.

  “But your Majesty, you may not know that a whale is not actually a fish—it cannot breathe in the water, but needs to return to the surface for ventilation. In the process, the whale will inhale a lot of gray mist.

"Although the gray mist will not cause the whales to be eroded, the food in the whale belly is more likely to be eroded by the gray mist and decayed. Eventually, it will suffer from gastroenteritis or gastric cancer, which sharply reduces the number of whales to the elf period. One twentieth of that.

"Another reason is also because of the invention of green fire-the existence of green fire, which replaced whale oil. But because the number of whales suddenly declined, the number of fish began to increase, so the coastal cities did not lose too much. food.

"Whales are quite rare now. Existing whales now have a new ability-they can determine the concentration of curses nearby before they float up. If the concentration is not too high, they will float up... and because of long-term breathing of the gray mist , They themselves are gradually alienated and have special abilities.

"First of all, the size of whales began to increase abnormally. Almost three to four times the size of the Second Age... and they will also gain some special abilities. Since whales are already cursed creatures, the materials on their bodies— -For example,'baleen', naturally becomes an expensive curse material.

"Then the sailors, and the thugs in the harbor...they can no longer use baleen as a weapon. So they modified it. Instead of using baleen as a filler, they use tanned externally instead. Leather, one end is stuffed with a solid lead block, and the inside is filled with cotton..."

  As Isaac was talking to Annan, the group of thugs finally caught up with the middle-aged man who seemed to be very negligent to exercise.

  The surrounding people did not respond to it.

  They are not panicked or afraid. Just stand in place and watch the excitement.

  It’s not that no one is scared at all, but those people seem to be out-of-towners at first glance, or, in other words, the first-time out-of-towners who have come to Denison.

"That is how the matter?"

  Annan tilted his head slightly and asked Isaac: "This seems very common...even people are not afraid of them."

  As a local, even though he was a native of more than a hundred years ago, he certainly knows Denizoya better than Annan.

   And Isaac did not disappoint Annan.

  He nodded and explained: "Those people are in gambling stalls."

  "Gambling stall?"

  "It is a pawnshop with gambling, or you can also understand it as a casino with pawnshop function."

  Isaac narrowed his eyes and looked at the group of people.

  The group of thugs from the gambling stall quickly 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 horrible howl like a pig—his arm turned blue-purple at a speed visible to the naked eye. It seems that some bones were also broken.

  And Isaac looked at him with a very cold look.

He calmly introduced: "Don't look at the lightness of the baleen... but just a proper hammer blow can crack the skull; if it hits the chin, it can make people faint immediately. Use it to interrupt The limbs are also much easier than hitting with a stick. The most important thing is-it hurts people especially."

   "So, what are these people here for?"

  Annan pointed at the group of strong and aggressive thugs with his chin: "Are you taking back the people who escaped gambling debts?"

   "Yes, nor is it."

  Isaac replied: "The so-called gambling stalls must exist in places where pirates thrive...because the ‘pawned things’ in the gambling stalls are not just treasures.”

"what is that?"

   "——Of course it’s human."

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

  He is wearing a short shirt, and traces of the sea breeze can be seen on his face. On the feet are open-toed bamboo shoes similar to sandals.

  The old man looked at the man equally indifferently, with an undisguised gloat on his face: "Even the top card cub will not go into the gambling stall...unless it is against someone..."

   "Have hatred?"

   "Betting on your arms, betting on your head."

  The old man sneered: "Little trouble~lightnovelpub.net~ It is the pirates who really come to the gambling stall.

  "Captives captured, traitors dealt with, women and children of enemies. There are also merchants who, like pirates, can only sell their children after borrowing loans but can't repay them.

   "Money... here we are, just like sea water. The sea rises and falls, and so does the money. The old ones don’t go, the new ones don’t come..."

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

  Annan thoughtfully looked at the middle-aged man who was dressed as a businessman and had a big belly.

So to say……

   "Probably the goods were robbed by a thief... I just want to use his wife and children as a bet, but he bet his own life in the idiot."

  Isaac’s emerald green pupils are quiet and deep: "This kind of idiot, there are many in the United Kingdom."
