Chapter 649: First meeting with Xin Hai
The Doctor hopes that his colleagues can come and help, and because of some information exchange reasons, he also plans to transfer people from Liyue. It is obvious that he is well aware of how bad the reputation of the Fatui is in other countries.
But if Tartaglia and Rosaline knew the whole story, and if they might have to face another psychopath after coming here to help, it is not impossible that they would beat the doctor up on the spot.
I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of teammates like Dotorre.
Rather than having to fight against that inexplicable madman, Tartaglia would rather participate in an endless battle.
No, the so-called endless battle might be a reward for Yaya.
After a night, the highly executive officials of Haiji Island came politely to the door of Gu Sanqiu's guest room, ready to invite this "grain merchant" for tea.
They have already explored it, and have not seen any large ships full of food, or even any small sampans. It is conceivable that someone is definitely trying to trick them.
"Sir, may I ask why you chose to deceive us? Please tell us your true identity, otherwise you will be handed over to the Tenryo Bugyo by our Kaigi Island."
A shrine maiden from the shrine was responsible for talking to Gu Sanqiu. To be precise, it was more like an interrogation. If ordinary soldiers were sent, they would probably be fooled by such a sinister guy.
"I'm not lying to you. I'm really just a grain merchant."
Gu Sanqiu smiled and threw out bags of food: "The ship that sent me here, can't they have other business cooperation?"
"The guest's dress and demeanor do not seem like that of a businessman."
The witch stared at Gu Sanqiu and said, "But our Haiqi Island welcomes any guest with good intentions. Please name a price. Haiqi Island is willing to buy all the food in your hands at a high price."
“You might not be able to eat this.”
Gu Sanqiu smiled dryly. As the crown prince of Liyue, he had taken advantage of his status to make strategic reserves long ago, with food being the top priority.
If Qixing had not taken market stability into consideration and chosen to control the relative total amount of grain on the market, the savings of the past few years would have been spent, not to mention the imbalance in grain market prices, and small fluctuations would have been inevitable.
This time when he came to Inazuma, considering some issues, Gu Sanqiu brought two large warehouses of food.
Part of it is intended to be used to enhance the reputation of the Aradaki faction, and part of it is used to win over some more special talents.
The Green Ghost Clan, this was Gu Sanqiu's original plan, but he did not get any relevant information by asking indirectly during the banquet.
There is a high probability that it has not yet been born, but there is a small probability that it has already been recruited by some existence, such as a pink-haired fox.
It’s not that the people of Haiqi Island can’t finish eating that little bit of food, but they can’t come up with such a large amount of liquid funds in a short period of time. This is the most intuitive reality.
Although the history of Kaigi Island can be traced back to a famous ancestor, at this point in time, it is a lie to say that they are the children of a poor noble family.
If they take all the expenses into consideration, they certainly won't be able to consume this amount of food in one go.
After hearing the total amount of money Gu Sanqiu carried, the witch showed a shocked expression on her face as expected, and at the same time concealed the worry on her face.
"According to my investigation, your Haiji Island should not be able to come up with that much liquid funds in a short period of time."
Gu Sanqiu raised a finger and said, "How about this, as long as you can agree to my conditions, a discount or something is not impossible."
The witch breathed a sigh of relief: "Go ahead, guest."
As a peculiar species that carries a large amount of food and has a small chance of randomly refreshing, the witch believes that it is necessary to win over this precious lone merchant.
If we don't replenish the food reserves on Kaigi Island here, will we still be harassed by the people on Narukami Island? This is a calculation that can be figured out with a little brainpower.
Gu Sanqiu hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to meet your witch leader, the current human-god witch, Coral Palace Xinhai. Can you agree to this condition?"
"impossible!"
The witch stood up suddenly and said: "Although Lord Coral Palace is humble and close to the people, please understand that for outsiders like you, Lord Coral Palace is not someone you can see whenever you want."
"You have no say in this matter. Report it."
Gu Sanqiu shook his head: "Tell your lady from the Coral Palace that someone with a similar status to you wants to see you. She should know what it means."
The witch's eyes widened. This guest was obviously well prepared. Even under such circumstances, he could still say something like "similar identities".
The person in front of me is also the heir of God's bloodline?
The witch realized that things had gone beyond her expectations and left in a hurry. This kind of thing could only be reported. If certain consequences occurred due to her arbitrary behavior, the losses would be truly incalculable.
"The present human god priestess, a human who inherited the blood of the great snake?"
Gu Sanqiu tilted his head. He had originally thought that based on Orobasi 's level, his physique should be at least similar to Osel's. How did such a big thing pass on its bloodline?
But if you think about the various powers of the demon god, and the fact that he can transform into a human, this one does make sense.
Half an hour later——
"Sorry for the long wait, sir. I wonder what you want from me."
Gu Sanqiu finally met Coral Palace Xinhai. This man's temperament was not gentle, but instead possessed the aura and decorum of a superior.
Simply put, it is the external attitude.
"I really don't see how the blood of the snake god can show up in you."
At least there should be a tail or something!
Coral Palace Xinhai smiled: "I don't see anything different from you, guest. I wonder which demon god you are representing."
"This is not important. Maybe in your heart, this is just an excuse for me to see you."
Gu Sanqiu looked at Xin Hai with pity: "You guys are really miserable. Even the channels for external communication have been controlled."
Not to mention that ordinary people know what he looks like. For a big boss of such a force, if there are unexpected people or things on this continent, intelligence gathering work must be in place.
This is a large, well-organized and logical intelligence system.
What is very coincidental is that all the bizarre events that have occurred on the mainland in recent times are somewhat related to himself.
Coral Palace Xinhai doesn't know who he is. This is enough to show how much control the Three Magistrates have over Kaigi Island.
Gu Sanqiu decided to introduce himself: "I am one of the three people who broke into the castle tower a long time ago."
You have to know this.
Coral Palace was stunned for a moment, then smiled gently.
"I see. Could it be that Mr. Long Hai feels that he can no longer stay in the wild and wants to live in seclusion on our Haiji Island?"
"If that's the case, as long as Mr. Long Hai doesn't break the rules, our Haiji Island still welcomes strong men like you."
"Of course, as rent, you may need to occasionally give the soldiers some pointers on combat techniques. I wonder if this deal satisfies you, sir?"
Gu Sanqiu:?
