Chapter 122: Equal Stream Island and the Naga
Matthew quickly said, “That’s easy. Since you’re a flying squirrel, I’ll call you
Hoodlum!”
"Good! Although I felt that this name was ordinary, it was probably because my standards were too low, and I couldn’t appreciate it. After all, I was just a little flying squirrel that hadn’t seen much of the world. From now on, Hoodlum is me, and I am Hoodlum. No one can mix me up with the other flying squirrels!”
Hoodlum cheered for a while, then solemnly extended his front paw at Matthew.
"Pinky swear, I learned it from you humans,” Hoodlum said seriously.
Matthew smiled and hooked it with his pinky.
Hoodlum bowed respectfully and ran into the rainforest.
"This little flying squirrel is quite interesting.”
Matthew looked at Soldier.
“So, where did you get this rope?”
Soldier looked confused and started to twist subconsciously.
Matthew had to check the data panel as he walked.
Finally, he flipped to a message from a few days ago.
[Hint: Your summoned creature Soldier has used the Bondage Master’s ability.]
He peeled the tree bark and Imeaded it to make a strong rope.
Your summoned creature Soldier is extremely satisfied!]
Bondage Master?
That was a real ability?!
Matthew was slightly surprised.
Recalling the scene of the flying squirrels being strung up, he suddenly realized that he should prepare a magic rope for Soldier!
“This ability might not be as indecent as it seems on the surface.”
As he pondered.
The grey lighthouse with mottled walls in front of the coastline was already close at hand.
There was a small dock on the east side of the lighthouse.
At this moment, only two figures could be seen on the dock, one old and one young.
Matthew walked over quickly.
Evening Wind Pier.
Under a row of lush palm trees.
An old man was resting with his eight or nine-year-old child.
Both of them had black hair, black eyes, and dark skin, but it was obvious that they had been tanned by the abundant sunlight on the Gold Coast. Their skin colour was still yellow.
These were the typical characteristics of the Su.
"Hello , ”
Matthew greeted from afar.
"Is it convenient to take a boat? I want to go equal stream island.”
The child looked at Matthew curiously.
The old man slowly stood up from under the tree. As he put on his straw hat, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Matthew.
"Equal Stream Island doesn’t welcome outsiders.”
Matthew explained, “I have a friend who is a distinguished guest of the island. I have a letter of introduction from him. He is a warrior monk and should be famous in this area.’
Without waiting for the old man to speak, the child spoke first,
“The monk you mentioned, is he the one who likes to talk nonsense and always likes to go into the sea to catch turtles to eat?”
The monk did have a full mouth of nonsense, but would he go around catching turtles to eat?
Matthew could only probe,
“Is his name Li Weiqi?”
"Yes! It’s him!”
The child said unhappily,
"I heard that he ate all the turtles on the island by himself! Do you know how ridiculous he was back then? He’s just a martial monk…”
The old man walked over and interrupted him. He said to Matthew,
"Li Weiqi is indeed a distinguished guest of the island, but I’m afraid that the island is very different from when he was there. If you insist on going, we can take you there.”
Matthew nodded.
"The fee is one gold coin.” the old man said.
Matthew asked as he took out the money, “Do you accept the Hundred Cities
Alliance’s gold coins?”
The old man nodded.
“Yes.”
He took the money and took out a very short flute from his waist. He put it to his lips and played it silently for a while before putting it away.
"Wait a moment.”
Perhaps to relieve his boredom, the old man continued the topic.
” There are many small city-states on the shores of the Arunay Sea. Most of the civilizations of these city-states came from the north. Some of the city-states here are very rich, while others are relatively poor. However, they are all within the influence of the Hundred Cities Alliance.
"Actually, if you walk around the Gold Coast, you will find that other than the unique customs of the locals, other places are no different from the Hundred Cities. ”
Matthew asked curiously,
“How many city-states are there on the Gold Coast?”
The old man pondered and said, “I don’t know. There are fewer cities on the north bank, but the south bank is very prosperous. There are at least a dozen famous city-states.
"Among them, Torch City, where the Golden Sacred Lord was located, was the most famous. The other small city-states also had their own characteristics and cultures.
"However, the south bank doesn’t seem to be peaceful recently. If you’re thinking of travelling, it’s safer to stay on the north bank.
"However, you should never enter the rainforest and do not provoke the Jango people and their Feathered Serpent God. They are a bunch of lunatics!”
Matthew noticed that the old man’s tone was full of resentment toward the Jangos.
He wanted to ask more questions.
At this moment, the child stood at the edge of the dock and waved at them.
"The boat is here! The boat is here!”
Matthew looked up and saw a white line coming from the sea and sky. When he got close, he saw that the turtle hidden in the white wave was the size of a basketball court in his previous life!
"Let’s go, young man.”
The old man gestured for Matthew to follow.
"Xuan Kunzi will take us to the island.”
Under the old man’s guidance.
Matthew tried to get on the turtle’s back from the dock, but when he passed the edge of the turtle shell, Matthew slipped..
