To be honest, Kennekomaru's imitation of wealthy merchants was very poor.
In Gordon's view, Goshang is the kind of person who looks heroic but is actually shrewd, while Kenkomaru feels more like a passionate young knight.
Perhaps in the latter's eyes, that's what the squinty-eyed dragon-human uncle looked like.
The trading ship set off.
From the chat with Kennekomaru, Gordon learned that this ship regularly travels between Moga Village and Tangia Port, and is an important or even the only bridge for the isolated Moga Village to communicate with the outside world.
The seafood produced in Mojia Village needs to be transported to Tangia Port via trading ships. When returning, the ships will be loaded with various daily necessities ordered by the villagers.
The trading route is single and the distance is close, so there is actually no profit in this round.
But the wealthy businessman still arranged for this trading ship to travel all year round. The main reason was that the old village chief of Mojia Village was a hunting partner with him.
Thanks to his efforts, the high-quality catch from Moga Village and by-products such as pearls have opened a market in Tangia Port.
Even in the future after their death, this line should continue to exist.
This incident made Gordon's view of wealthy businessmen a little better.
——At least he is a loyal guy.
The straight-line distance from Tangia Port to the isolated island is not far, about two to three hundred kilometers. It only took two days for the trading ship to arrive at Moga Village, located in the southern bay of the isolated island.
This is Gordon's first time coming to Mojia Village.
It looked similar to what he imagined. This was a small fishing village that was far from prosperous.
There are many fishing boats docked at the simple wooden wharf. The plank road connects the wharf to several nearby large rocks, forming the foundation of the village. The villagers' houses are built on these rocks.
Perhaps because of the abundance of fish, Mojia Village is remote but not run-down.
The fishermen and villagers coming and going are strong and healthy, and they all have satisfied smiles on their faces. It is a village full of vitality.
"Um, I'm back!"
Returning to her familiar hometown, the quiet and bookish Ai Xia also became excited. She was the first to jump off the trading ship and happily greeted the familiar villagers at the dock.
"Dialect appears, meow." Pig Chop muttered.
"It's little Ai Xia!"
"Wow! What a beautiful dress, Ai Xia has completely transformed into a cool girl in the city!"
"Ai Xia came to E's house for dinner in the evening, and E asked your aunt to make crab soup!"
The nearby villagers gathered around and chattered.
Pig Chop scratched his beard and said, "It feels like there are so many Azimyos."
"What is Dialect Meow?" Xianglan, who left the desert for the first time, looked at everything around her curiously, especially the rows of dried fish and shrimps on the bamboo racks on the shore.
"It's the 'meow' you often call me."
"I understand, meow, it's like what Mr. Pork Chop likes to say, 'down here,' meow!"
"'Zaixia' is not meow. The word 'zaixia' I use is a polite term for meow."
"It's Meow!"
Ever since Pandan became Hayata's hunting cat, Piglet likes to preach to it as a senior. Pandan also likes to argue, so they often quarrel.
Ignoring the meows of the two El cats all the way.
Under the guidance of Kenkomaru, Gordon and Hayata met the head of Moga Village sitting cross-legged and fishing at the end of a plank road.
It was an old human man wearing only a loincloth and a cloak.
"A hunter from East Doruma? Welcome to come."
The old village chief's lingua franca was very standard, "Thank you very much for sending Ai Xia home. Although the child loves to read, he can be a little reckless sometimes, which is worrying."
Gordon briefly exchanged a few words with him, introduced himself, and then explained his purpose.
"Mr. Village Chief, I heard that a material called 'ancient shark skin' can be obtained on this isolated island near Mojia Village.
We would like to ask you about this material and the corresponding monster. If you agree, we hope to obtain your hunting permission. "
Mojia Village is remote and has not yet set up a special hunting gathering place. As the head of the village, the village chief has the right to issue tasks and approve some hunting behaviors that are not excessive.
"The skin of the ancient shark?" The village chief was obviously stunned. After pondering for a while, he asked: "Can I ask more, what do you need the 'skin of the ancient shark'?
As far as I know, there are very few equipments that can use this material. "
Hayata took over and said: "Mr. Village Chief, we obtained a blueprint for the production of the Nanman Sword from Mr. Hao Shang. This material will be used in the production and subsequent strengthening of the Nanman Sword."
The village chief held his forehead and sighed, "I knew that guy."
Gordon had a bad feeling.
"About half a month ago, a villager reported to me that in the waters north of the isolated island, there were so many sharks, as the ancient sharks are now called, that it became dangerous to fish in the sea.
It just so happened that that guy came to Mojia Village on a trading ship to visit me in the past few days, so I mentioned the matter to him. "
Gordon's mouth twitched.
More than half a month ago, wasn't that the time when they had just arrived at Tangia Port, and then wealthy merchants approached them and used the Nanman knife drawings as "bait" to trick them into going to Lockakla to participate in the feast.
Was this actually being plotted against? !
Noticing that Gordon looked wrong, the village chief coughed slightly and said: "That guy was always like this when he was young, scheming and scheming. I apologize to you on his behalf."
The village chief lowered his head and continued: "If you want to refuse, please don't be mentally burdened. It is quite dangerous to deal with multiple sharks in the water at the same time.
It just so happened that a hunter who walked out of the village would be back in the next few days, so I just asked him to go there.
Of course, if you are still willing to hunt down sharks, I will also issue you a receipt for the hunting mission and calculate the reward according to regulations. "
Gordon and Hayata looked at each other.
To be honest, although they were plotted again, compared to the previous business purpose, the reason this time made them a little less angry.
After a few soft exchanges, Gordon said: "You don't need to apologize, Mr. Village Chief, we will be responsible for hunting down the sharks, which is also the goal of our trip."
"I'm really sorry to trouble you." The village chief bowed his head again and thanked him.
Tired of bickering, he finally chose to suppress it with force, and the pork chop that knocked Xianglan into a head suddenly spoke.
"Mr. Village Chief, Meow, is the hunter you are talking about coming back Aziz?"
It also quite likes the spear user who is keen on fishing, is good at making various fish dishes, and always smells like fish.
The village chief was stunned, "Do you know Aziz?"
Gordon also smiled. He nodded and said, "We spent some time together in the Kurbutios Wetland and hunted the Emerald Water Dragon together. He is a very interesting guy."
"Really? I'll be relieved that the child is fine."
"I think I heard someone shouting?" A green head like a water ghost suddenly poked its head out of the sea next to the pier.
"Meow——!" Xianglan's whole cat was so frightened that it flew up.
At that moment, Hayata had the urge to draw the sword.
"Az?!" Gordon shouted in surprise.
Wearing skin-like emerald green scales and wearing a strange hood, a fisherman crawled out of the water. The scene was really scary.
The village chief hit Aziz on the head with a fishing rod angrily: "Stop playing tricks and take off your helmet. It's scary."
Aziz took off his helmet, revealing his brown face and big white teeth, "Hello, village chief! Hahaha, and Gordon and Pork Chop, when did you come to Moga?"
