Chapter 153 Being targeted
Two underage children spent a lot of money in a dark and shabby flea market.

This scene was noticed by many people with ulterior motives.

Especially after Moon and Chris walked out of the herbal medicine shop, there were two or three more people following them.

"Should we follow the person who delivered the herbs?"

When Chris noticed someone was following her, she grabbed Moon's cloak tightly.

"Don't worry, there are still some animal-based potion ingredients that we haven't bought yet. Let's go to the fish market and have a look."

Moon remembered that Cedric and Sprout both needed him to bring back some marine biological materials.

There is also Professor Snape, who exchanges new potion materials for spells. This business is very profitable for Moon.

When Moon and the other man were about to leave the alley and head to the fish market outside, thirteen strong men approached quickly from all directions of the alley.

Their eyes were fixed on Moon's purse and Chris's pale little face.

But it really only took three steps, and all these people fell down without even a scream.

[Petrification Curse] + [Throat Lock]

There was no sign of a fight at all, and the people around were just curious, wondering why these people suddenly fainted?
After dealing with these ordinary people, Moon stepped over them and left the flea market full of dangers.

It was after Moon dealt with these thugs that two magicians deep in the alley got the news.

"Just now, news came from York that someone bought all the goods in the herbal medicine shop, including the Swamp Star Orchid."

"No, I still need this flower to save people. How could that old guy sell all of it?"

"You~, forget it. Your potion-making skills are not as good as mine. There is no way the Bailey Chamber of Commerce would let you rescue their young lady."

"But."

"No buts! The most important thing for us now is to find the lost key and the person who disappeared with the key."

"You reminded me. Today I found a large black ship at the dock. There were quite a few magical fluctuations on it. Perhaps the key is on it."

"Humph! I think you want to rob me."

Moon returned to the ship after buying everything as planned.

He had just stepped onto the deck of the Scarlet Moon when he heard Hall complaining there.

"Everything here is really too expensive. A small workshop dares to ask for three thousand gold coins."

"That's right, it's just an empty shell, with nothing on it!"

After hearing the veterans' loud voices, Moon knew that they were not having any success in finding a workshop.

However, after handing the matter over to the veterans, Moon no longer planned to participate. After all, the veterans obviously had more experience than Moon.

After handing all the materials over to Chris, Moon returned to the room and saw Zaran guarding Mimir.

After learning that the book Moon brought back could help him spread "The Anvil Song", the bard couldn't wait to learn it.

Because he couldn't understand the contents of these books, he could only start from the basics.

But Zalan thought that these books were very important and should not be known to outsiders, so he asked Mimir to read them only in the house and not take them out.

But Mimir doesn't care about these. He is now studying "Oxford Reading Tree" carefully.

Moon discovered that the old man had a great ability to learn languages.

After he simply taught some basic knowledge, Mimir was already able to understand more based on the associations.

This invisibly reduced some of Moon's chores, and there was now someone responsible for Sophia and the others' enlightenment.

"If we want to open a papermaking and printing workshop, the land must not be too small, and it must be close to a water source. Such locations are too expensive."

After seeing Moon come back, Zalan told him the results of his search that day.

They first found the person in charge of renting and selling houses, and then kept looking around the port.

By nightfall, they had visited eight places, three of which were suitable, but each one charged a very high price.

"I also discovered today that although Port Nitsch has a large flow of people, it is not suitable for so many of us to settle down here." Moon knew that if he wanted to build a papermaking and printing workshop, he must have a suitable location and also consider the issue of family housing.

Moon himself also needs to study magic, which requires a place where he won't be disturbed by too many people.

Considering all the current conditions, both Moon and Zalan gave up their plan to live permanently in Nitz Port.

Just as the two were discussing where to go next, Lance appeared outside the room with a slave.

As a new recruit trained by Zalan, Lance was assigned to take charge of guarding the slaves after boarding the ship.

Today, after Moon and his crew got off the ship, three slaves left and returned to the ship.

"Sir, they want you to take him home."

After seeing the appearance of these three slaves, Mimir took charge of the translation work.

"go home?"

Moon looked at the slave opposite with some confusion.

They wore bird feathers on their heads, painted their faces with oil paint, and wore simple clothes made of tree bark.

These should be the island natives captured by the pirates.

"Yes, they say you are the most benevolent captain on the sea, a messenger sent by the gods. If you can send them home, the elders of their tribe will surely treat you well and give you the most generous reward."

Moon was a little uncomfortable with the flattery he had heard before.

However, when Moon heard that there was a generous reward, he did not rush to refuse.

"How can I be sure what they say is true?"

The leader of the three slaves promised to send them home and give them gold coins and gems, but these were not very attractive to Moon.

However, the leader said that there would be gifts such as land and houses, which is very attractive.

After all, Moon was looking for a place to build a workshop and for his family to live.

After Mimir conveyed Moon's words to the other party, the slave leader pulled out a bead from his neck and talked for a long time.

"Sir, Ben said this is a symbol of his status in the tribe. As long as you can send him back, I will agree to all the conditions just mentioned."

Ben is the name of the leader of the three slaves.

Moon took the bead and looked at it.

This should be made of some kind of wood, with very fine workmanship and very strange patterns on it.

"Sir, I believe Ben's words are credible. Xingjin Island was originally the territory of the tribe, and this token doesn't seem fake."

Moon had learned from the nautical chart that Xingjin Island was one of the six main islands of the Vina Islands, and that it was inhabited by tribal people.

Because these indigenous people rarely communicate with outsiders and intermarriage is limited to within tribes, their numbers are not large.

The Xingjin Islands are the islands with the most vacant land in the Vena Islands.

"Okay, you guys go down first. We'll discuss this matter and give you an answer tomorrow."

After the three slaves left, Moon looked at Zalan, Hall, and Mimir.

Now the four of them are considered the highest decision-makers in the team.

Of course, Mimir is mainly responsible for making suggestions, while Hall is responsible for the specific implementation, and the decision-makers are Moon and Zalan.

After the decision was made, Zalan was in charge of the central command, while Moon studied his own magic.

"I think we can go and take a look. Even if Xingjin Island is not suitable, we can still leave."

"I agree with Zalan. Everything in Port Nitsch is too expensive. With so many of us, we can't last more than a few days here."

After hearing Zalan and Hall's opinions, Moon looked at Mimir.

"I also think it's better to leave. Solman Island has been developed a long time ago, but Xingjin Island is different. Another thing is that there are Selma flowers there."
