Black sail

Chapter 465 XCIX. Ogre

three days later.

Li Si and his party finally arrived at the capital of Esnor Province, Shagu, Swan's hometown.

It was not the stereotype that Li Site had imagined, with tents set up everywhere and hallucinogenic substances sold by everyone.

On the contrary, it is urbanized to the point of being somewhat boring, similar to other second-tier cities in Alan, but the architectural style and wall carvings include some ancestor worship and astrological diagrams unique to the tiger people.

There are many outsiders coming here to do business, but the proportion of Tiger people is smaller. Among ten people, maybe only four are Tiger people.

It can be seen that even though they are his own people, the emperor is not very confident about the aliens, and the economic lifeline cannot be completely handed over to the locals.

But even so, the tiger people are the best off compared to other races.

Look at what has become of the orcs in the north and the Argonians in the Wetlands.

Needless to say, Ryan's hometown is on the plateau, which has a geographical advantage. Ordinary people will suffer from altitude sickness if they go there. In addition, there are very few resources, and no one is willing to go to the trouble of provoking this extremely united race.

As for the Issu people, they have their own territory.

The collector that Driya mentioned is in a town near Sand Valley, the capital of Esnor.

The landform of Esnor is very special. Except for the built roads, it is basically dark brown sand. The shrubs are a strange red color, and the trees growing there are also umbrella-shaped. The climate is relatively dry, with less precipitation and no rainy season, making it most suitable for tiger people to settle down.

But Shagu, as the capital, is already very urbanized, and there are few natural features in the city.

After passing the checkpoint with Isis's passport and entering the city, Lister had never seen so many tiger people in his life.

Because other races are doing very badly.

There are a large number of orcs and dragons who come to the East China Sea to make a living, and the dark elves are even more heavyweight, but there are relatively few tiger people.

Li Site discovered that the tiger people were a very particular race.

The Leopard People are considered a branch of the Tiger People.

There are also many tiger men here who look more like lynxes, with more hair on the sides of their cheeks and pointed ears, and look more like murderers.

In history, the tiger people were a race widely distributed throughout the Western Continent. It was only a few hundred years ago that the tiger people in Esnor became prominent and produced great figures, and the area became a formal part of Alan. It was no longer an autonomous region, but was part of the country.

The village really distributed gold bars, so everyone came back to hang out.

I guess there are quite a lot of ethnic groups.

Swan is considered a relatively orthodox Esnor tiger man.

It is said that the appearance and physiological functions of tiger people are related to the astrological signs at birth, and their body shapes vary greatly. Some are tall and strong, reaching over two meters, some are as tall as Xishan dwarfs, at one meter thirty or four, and there are also very petite ones.

Swann is a normal person.

Return the rented carriage and driver to the post station.

"We have to go to town later, let's eat first."

After Li Site got off the car, he stretched. After sitting for so long, his limbs were about to degenerate.

The transportation system of the Alan Road is not in the same system as that in the province. The carriage just rented can only run on the road, otherwise it will go directly to the tiger collector's house.

Isis was also like a curious baby, looking at everything curiously. When she saw a tiger vendor grilling local specialties, she went up to him and asked a lot of questions.

It turned out that no one could understand her at all. The common language of Isis was originally spoken with a Zeon accent. The local tiger people had their own language, and the common language was spoken quite awkwardly.

Full barrier communication.

The tiger man just gestured to her, and the price was about two copper coins for a skewer of barbecue.

"I suggest you don't buy it. This is a roasted gerbil."

The knowledgeable Meredith thought that Miss Isis must have felt sick after eating.

"Gerbil?"

"It's a rat."

"what?"

Isis took two steps back and looked at the barbecue with a frown.

"Doesn't Esnor have moon candies, Skooma's? They must be sold here. I think it's okay to try a little. Why don't we try it?"

Isis remembered this.

She had never come into contact with it, but her best friends had played with it a lot and were familiar with the goods from the Wetland. Dollinger's goods were the best, after all, the raw materials were shipped from Jinghai for processing. It was a pity that the supply was cut off at the end of last year.

But after Isis finished speaking, the tiger people and humans around her all looked at her and asked if she was okay. Even though she had an accent, Moon Sugar didn't care, but Skooma was a transliteration of the tiger people's native language, so they could all understand it.

To put it in a metaphor, what she said is equivalent to you going to Prussia to find someone to buy poison gas for squids to breathe.

Isis's escort was also shocked. As expected of a young lady, she easily said what we dared not say.

This is a serious stereotype.

"Sister, why don't you just shut up."

Li Site was completely stunned.

Finally, the group found a more respectable restaurant in Shagu to eat. When Li Site sat down and saw the menu, he almost vomited.

Each dish was very expensive, starting at twenty copper coins.

Scarcity makes things valuable. For the inland tiger people, seafood is naturally the most precious.

As for the local special food, Li Site was not very praiseworthy. It was almost like a wetland, a food desert with rats, scorpions and fungi, which looked horrible.

Li Site asked Gloria, two adventurers who had been traveling around the world for many years, to do something.

"Did you see the true face of the thief who attacked you? I heard from Ryan and the others that it was a woman."

Gloria asked suddenly after she ordered the dishes.

Li Site was speechless. He had been planning to make some progress with these two women in the past few days, but his heartbeat value went down instead of up. Without his wife to train with him, these two women were actually his love rivals. Who could he turn to for justice?
He seemed to be unaware that Ryan was living a life of debauchery in Dugli, otherwise he would be furious. People were living a more comfortable life than him.

"That's right. She pretended to be you and that's why I fell for her trick. See, I almost lost my life because of you."

Li Site was a little angry.

Originally he was very alert, and subconsciously wanted to drink the whole cup of wine offered to him, but "Gloria" forcefully kissed him and poured the wine into his mouth, and even a god could not save him.

"Really? Fortunately, I'm still alive and kicking. Otherwise, I'd feel really guilty."

Gloria thought, pretending to be herself? When did she become the target of disguise? Someone was watching her from the dark. It was really scary.

"I'm not kidding. You don't know how much your words hurt me. I was going crazy."

Li Site looked at the first cold dish served and started eating it with his hands without saying a word. He was already used to being generous.

"Okay, it's ok as long as you're not dead. Why are you talking so much?"

Meredith picked up the beef with a fork and fed it to Gloria. This girl seemed to be manipulated again. Could she believe those lies of Lister? She was fooled by him to hijack the train.

Li Site had a tactical scowl on his face. Damn it, when this Iron T was looking for him to do experiments, he was so cute at that time, but now he ruins his plans every time.

"How is it? How does it taste compared to Zeon?"

Meredith was courting Isis. It was rare to see such a graceful noble lady. It was obvious that she had been well educated. She had seen many noble daughters and was ashamed to criticize their behavior.

"The taste is different. Don't look at me like this. I once went to the palace to attend a banquet and ate the food prepared by the royal chef. I really want to eat it again in my dreams."

Isis replied.

"Come to think of it, we have a royal chef from Zeon here as well."

Li Site thought of a person who was better than him, but his cooking skills were really impeccable. If the wine fairy went to Earth, he would directly resolve various disputes between Chinese and French cuisine. Archer would be the real god of food.

"Please don't say anything that could lead to Archer, thank you."

Meredith asked Lister for help. She had been on adventures all over the world and had never seen anyone more desiring a beating than that adult.

"Archer? You know him?"

Isis was shocked.

"More than knowing him, I can even smell the odor even if he turns to ashes. But you, do you know him?"

Lister's pupils trembled.

"No, I heard some rumors that he was an ogre."

Isis still felt a little scared when she thought about it.

Gloria: “Ah?”

Meredith: “Huh?”

Li Site's scalp tingled, and then: "Ah?"
