This is not the first time Zhang Daye and the others have paid entry fees. As a law-abiding tour group, they act according to the rules most of the time.
When they are in a good mood, they will also give a tip to the port guard as a reward for asking them to help solve unnecessary troubles. However, the entry fees to the Ciggu Kingdom are the most outrageous they have ever seen. They simply want to slaughter the merchant ships and cruise ships that come and go as fat sheep.
Zhang Da did not fall out for the time being. For the sake of Doluton's politeness, he kept a small notebook and decided what to do after checking the situation after entering the country.
The Amber docked at the designated location under the guidance of the soldiers, and Doruton returned to the palace to report.
A soldier pointed to a village not far away: "That's Big Horn Village. If you want to rest and sightsee, you can go there first."
"Okay, thank you." Zhang Daye and his companions got off the boat and walked towards Daxiaojiao Village.
Everyone was wearing thick winter clothes, and even Karu was draped in a blanket. Only Tom changed into his ski gear with excitement after seeing the vast snow field.
Originally, Tom was too cold and was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and scarf, but he threw away the cotton-padded jacket when he stepped on his skis and picked up his ski poles.
Starting, accelerating, avoiding obstacles, advancing in an S-shape around the tree, taking off when encountering a small slope, spinning 180 degrees and landing backwards... Tom performed all kinds of fancy skiing moves in the cold wind, and his whole face was written all over it. happy.
Weiwei praised: "Tom is really amazing!"
"Even professional skiers can't compare to Tom. Misaka said so and is looking forward to trying it for herself."
Sister Misaka looked at Zhang Tatsuya and seemed to be trying very hard to make an expectant expression.
Zhang Da also said: "When Tom comes back, let him get you some sets of ski equipment, and let him teach you by the way."
Perona and Wendy also joined in the cheers and applause for Tom.
Tom happily saluted his companions and expressed his gratitude for everyone's support.
However, the next second he hit the tree with a bang, and the snow on the branches fell down, burying Tom.
A pair of conspicuous big eyes appeared in the snowdrift, blinking innocently.
…
"Amber tour group? What is that?" King Wapol of the Drum Kingdom raised a table and stuffed it into his mouth.
Wapol is about the same height as Doruton, but his stature has developed more horizontally, making him look very short.
The fact that his figure has become like this is probably related to his Devil Fruit ability. As a 'devourer' who has eaten the Tuntun fruit, Wapol eats all the time and dares to eat anything.
Just like now, his mouth suddenly widened as he approached the table, biting off two table legs and nearly a third of the tabletop in one bite, chewing them loudly.
"Bah, bah... it tastes really bad!" Wapol spat out a few mouthfuls of wood residue, and said to himself, regardless of whether Doluton was reporting the matter to him, "Let's go eat 'roast house' tonight. !I remember the house in Cocowit had the best smell!”
Jess, the staff officer of the Drum Kingdom, said: "Of course there is no problem if it is your request, Your Majesty Wapol."
Doluton's expression was ugly. The so-called 'roasting a house' was to set fire to a civilian's house. When the house was on fire, Wapol used his ability to eat the house one by one.
Sometimes he feels that the house is too burnt, so he will continue to 'bake' the next one until he is satisfied.
As for the residents who originally lived there, Wapol didn't care about them, because everything in the Drum Kingdom belonged to him, including a few houses.
Doruton also tried to dissuade him, but his fellow staff officer Jess and clerk Chromamon were very conniving with the king. If Doruton said too much, he might be arrested and imprisoned by the two of them.
Once you are imprisoned, you really can't do anything, and you may be executed at any time. Dorudon still has his own mission - the old king who has passed away is still normal, and he was kind to Dorudon. He hopes that Dorudon will Dun can assist Wapol in revitalizing the Drum Kingdom.
It's a pity that Wapol doesn't like Doruton, but only likes Jace and Chromamon who obey him in everything.
Moreover, disobeying the king's order is very heavy for a person like Dorudun who grew up under the king's authority. All he can do is to rescue the residents before the king orders people to set fire, and then in his own Provide those residents with a little help within their purview.
According to Dorudun's understanding of Wapol, it was useless to persuade him directly. He could only think of other ways to divert his attention and make him forget about this matter.
When Doruton was about to say something, the affairs officer Cromalemon reminded him: "Your Majesty Wapol, the amber tour group that Doruton mentioned is still worthy of your attention."
"Huh? I seem to have heard this name somewhere..." Wapol tried to use his uncommon brain, but failed: "So, what exactly is the Amber Tour Group?"
While speaking, Wapol took out another long sword and bit off the blade with a click.
Cromalimon said: "The Amber Tour Group is a bounty hunter group that has become active in the past year or two. It has captured many big pirates and has cooperated with the navy. You can often see news about them in newspapers."
"What does that have to do with me?" Only then did Wapol remember that he might have seen this name while eating a newspaper, "Ah, by the way, Doruton, have they paid the entry fee?"
"The full amount has been paid." Dorudun felt relieved when he saw Wapol's attention shifted, and continued, "They said they came here for a trip, but because someone got sick during the trip, they wanted to stop by. Seek a doctor for treatment. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to let 'Doctor 20' treat them."
"Looking for a doctor?" Wapol put the hilt of the sword into his mouth and said vaguely, "Are you kidding? 'Doctor 20' is dedicated to serving me, how can I help them casually?"
"Your Majesty Wapol, I think you can definitely ask 'Doctor 20' to take action, but you can increase the consultation fee." Staff Officer Jess made a suggestion. If you are willing to pay such a high entry fee, this amber tour group is either very If you have money, or the patient is very ill, it would be a shame not to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.
Doluton breathed a sigh of relief. If he just raised the consultation fee, it wouldn't be a big problem. At least he could cure the patient. Judging from Jace's style, this is barely a human saying.
But Wapol is not very interested. What's the point of making money? He is not short of money. The purpose of raising the entry fee is just to make things difficult for ships. Anyway, whether it is businessmen, tourists, or people who come to seek medical treatment, there is no need for it. People dare to resist. Watching those people swallow their anger and accept their bad luck is much more fun than making money.
Jess continued: "You can raise the medical fee to a very high level. If they can't pay it, you can use it to pay for it with other things. Their ship looks delicious, and there are some strange animals on the ship. Animals are not bad either…”
"How could this be possible!" Doluton immediately objected. He felt that angering the Amber Tour Group was not a good choice.
"What's wrong?" Jace didn't take it seriously. As a staff officer, he had the responsibility to find ways to increase the kingdom's income. He had already worked very hard to get the king interested.
It can not only satisfy the king's interests, but also increase some financial revenue. He can come up with such perfect ideas. Is there any better adviser than him in the world?
