Be a legal businessman in Liyue!

Boss Zhang revealed a hint of sarcasm. "The one who took the stuff out of the Academy of Sciences was an insider. Outsiders can't do anything about it. But when they got to Roudeng Port, they were underground forces, so the Governor couldn't catch them."

"When neither the black nor white forces can stop it, naturally the business can't be controlled."

Wang Que suddenly understood and nodded: "I see, Boss Zhang is indeed well-informed."

Boss Zhang was delighted by the compliment and waved his hand with a smile: "It's just that I listened and watched more when I was working on the ship."

"Does Boss Zhang know what the underground forces in Roudeng Port are like?" Wang Que asked promptly.

Perhaps because of Wang Que's praise, Boss Zhang really had something to say.

He spoke directly, "There are many underground forces in Roudeng Port. The largest one is called the Novelty Pants Club. It's said to be very powerful, and some smuggling businesses cannot do without it."

"Novelty Pants Club?" Wang Que frowned, as if he had some impression of it, but couldn't remember where.

This force has most likely appeared in the plot, but it is definitely not very important.

But...as long as it appears in the plot, there must be something there.

Wang Que's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought that he could contact this force later.

If it is not possible to obtain the "true scriptures" from Fontaine, it is not impossible to make use of these forces.

Chapter 188 Rusty Rudder Tavern

Smooth sailing.

After seven days of sailing at sea,

The merchant ship that Wang Que was on finally arrived at Roudeng Port, one of Fontaine's external ports.

It is located in the middle and lower areas of Fontaine, adjacent to Liyue's Chenyu Valley, and is the core hub for tea trade between Fontaine and Liyue.

The harbor is surrounded by a 360-degree circular waterfall, which hangs down like silver chains, and the water mist refracts to form miniature rainbows.

Hidden in the waterfall are submerged lift doors and tracks, through which boats are lifted vertically to the upper waters by mechanical devices.

It is equipped with a watchtower and a hydraulic stabilization device to ensure the safety of the lifting process.

Because it is a commercial port, it is equipped with many complex crane gates. The brass cranes and steam pipes are exposed, and the sound of gears running and the roar of water are intertwined.

Although it has always been said that Roudeng Port is relatively backward, when Wang Que looked at this port, he felt that it had become somewhat modern.

Moreover, some of the ships anchored here are ironclad ships.

On the contrary, the ships from Liyue seemed a bit outdated.

However, Wang Que also knew that Fontaine's ships were all driven by the hybrid energy provided by the Opicle Opera House.

It seems powerful, but once it leaves the Fontaine area, it is likely to collapse.

As for ocean voyages, they are really not as good as Liyue’s ships.

Of course, if the energy problem could be solved, it would immediately become a much better ship.

Boss Zhang asked the merchant ships to line up and slowly dock at the port.

Immediately, the local port officer came forward to communicate.

Boss Zhang was clearly quite experienced. He first handed over the name of the incoming ship, recorded the crew, and then the cargo status...

In less than ten minutes, everything was communicated.

Then start unloading.

Boss Zhang walked back to Wang Que and said, "Mr. Envoy, if you want to go to Fontaine, you will need to find a local ship. Our ship cannot go deep into Fontaine."

Wang Que nodded: "I know. Thank you for your care along the way."

Boss Zhang waved his hand: "It's nothing."

"Goodbye then. I wish you prosperity, Boss Zhang." Wang Que bowed and said goodbye.

Boss Zhang also smiled: "Thank you for the blessing, messenger."

At the same time, he waved goodbye.

...

Fontaine does not seem to have strict immigration control.

At least it's not strict here in Roudeng Port.

As an outsider entering the country, Wang Que walked directly on the street and no security guard came to ask him anything.

Maybe it’s because it’s a port, there’s always a mix of good and bad people here, so everyone is used to it.

After leaving the dock, Wang Que walked around the street for a long time and then took the elevator to the top.

This is the real entry into the Fontaine area.

Life in the surrounding waters seems to be particularly active.

The water in Fontaine is different from the water in other countries.

I can only say that this country is truly a country of water.

"But how do I get to Fontaine? Should I fly there directly or take a boat?"

Walking on the road to Roudeng Harbor, Wang Que pondered for a moment.

Although Roudeng Port is far away from Fontaine, it is not impossible to fly there.

Of course, this does not mean flying directly to Fontaine.

Soft Light Harbor is not far from the Iliye Forest Area, and one area can be seen across the inland sea.

Even the Rusty Rudder Tavern is right over there.

Wang Que can definitely fly there.

Then follow the misty forest path in the Iriyelin area to the Opikle Opera House.

Then take the patrol boat to go directly to Fontaine.

The advantage of this route is that there is no need to bother looking for a boat, but the disadvantage is that Wang Que needs to travel a long distance.

Another option is to directly find a boat to take. The advantage is that you can go directly to Fontaine by boat. The disadvantage is... Wang Que is unfamiliar with the place and it is easy to be cheated.

Of course, he is not afraid of being cheated because of his strength, but he is mainly afraid of trouble.

Wang Que was thinking and moving forward unconsciously, and he didn't notice that someone was following him.

Several furtive men dressed as sailors looked at the elegantly dressed figure with ill intentions.

"Tsk, this outfit must be several thousand Mora heavier. He must be a fat sheep."

"Isn't he the eldest son of some big business association?"

"That shouldn't happen. There isn't a single guard around. Whose young master would come out like this?"

"Has the person who inquired for the news returned?"

"He's back, Boss. He said he got off a Liyue merchant ship. He's not from the merchant ship, but a passenger."

"Oh, hahaha, that's the fat sheep. Judging from his direction, he should be heading to the Rusted Helm. Let's follow him. Once he's out of the port, we'll take action."

After a few sailors made a plan, they quietly followed Wang Que's footsteps.

Wang Que walked all the way to the beach outside Roudeng Port before stopping.

With a quick glance, he saw the Rusty Rudder Tavern across the sea.

"Tsk, no need to worry about it. We've come this far, just fly."

With a light click of his tongue, he stretched out his hand to draw a talisman and sent it flying.

Suddenly a voice came from behind.

"Boy, come with us."

Several sailors with a fishy smell rushed out from behind and surrounded Wang Que directly.

Wang Que: ...

The perception did not detect it.

Zhao Xin did not warn either.

There are only two possibilities in this situation.

One possibility is that the opponent is too strong, so strong that he can deceive one's perception and block Zhaoxin's warnings.

The other is that the opponent is too weak.

The ant's malice was not enough to stimulate Wang Que's sense of crisis, let alone make Zhao Xin warn him.

Then, Wang Que smiled and said, "You want to rob me?"

"Stop talking nonsense, kid. If you don't want to suffer any physical pain, come with us."

One of the sailors took out a dagger and threatened.

The other sailors also gathered around.

Wang Que looked at his waist and asked, "Can't you see it?"

He gestured to his Eye of God.

Who knows.

The sailor holding the dagger sneered: "What are you pretending to be? Is this the color of your God's Eye? Who are you trying to scare?"

Wang Que: …

If the other party had an expert, perhaps he could detect that something was wrong with the Eye of Salt God.

But facing a group of noobs, they really think it is just a decoration.

It's still a low-quality decoration. After all, the colors are not right.

"Forget it, why waste time talking to you guys?"

A cold light flashed in Wang Que's eyes, and he pointed his finger, and a salt cone shot out.

The salt cone cannot break the scales of the rock dragon lizard, but it is still very useful against unarmored humans.

It pierced through the skin directly and penetrated into the abdomen. Before the sailor holding the dagger could scream, the power of salt spread rapidly.

In just less than a breath, the living person turned into a salt sculpture.

Seeing this scene, the remaining sailors suddenly showed horror in their eyes: "Monster, monster, run away!"

Without much hesitation, they turned and fled.

"Monster...how rude of you."

Wang Que curled his lips, looked at the fleeing figures, stretched out his hand and waved, and several more salt cones shot out.

There were several "pop" sounds as the weapons hit the target.

The sailors' frightened voices suddenly disappeared.

"It's quiet now."

Several lives were taken away at once, but Wang Que felt nothing.

These people don't seem to deserve the death penalty.

But in fact, these gangster-like guys are the most hateful.

If Wang Que had no strength, he would be just an ordinary rich man.

If you fall into their hands, you will probably be unable to live or die.

Therefore, Wang Que showed no mercy when he took action.

After getting rid of the annoying flies, Wang Que turned his gaze back to the shipwreck across the sea.

That's the Rusty Rudder Tavern.

It is also the only entertainment venue in Roudeng Port.

From this point of view, Roudeng Port is indeed quite backward.

Don't look at the salt man statue next to it,
