Chapter 157 The Rumor of the "Golden Ship"
Chapter 157 The Rumor of the "Golden Ship"
Goldsmith Town is not a prosperous and prosperous island, but there are still shouts and hawking on the streets, which is very market-like.
The Storm Warship stopped at a hard-to-find coast in Goldshire - of course they couldn't anchor in the port, otherwise the navy would be surrounding them soon.
Zeta, Lisa and SCV stayed to watch the ship.
Tyrion was on the way to Goldshire and the Storm Battleship, while Amos, Lamy and Aeneas split up and entered Goldshire to purchase the supplies they needed next.
Amos was responsible for purchasing food and fresh water.
Lamy is responsible for buying clothes and medicine.
Aeneas bought whatever he thought of.
In fact, they won't stay in Goldshire for too long. They may leave after a day of repairs. Aeneas also wants to inquire about some strange things here, preferably about the North Sea and the Grand Line.
If you want to get these little tidbits of information, there are two places you can go.
One is an auction house and the other is a tavern.
Aeneas walked to the tavern without thinking. Now he felt like vomiting when he thought of the auction house. He had watched too many videos of the auction house in the past few days, and it was really boring.
Aeneas is a tall man, very conspicuous when walking on the road, and he looks even more conspicuous in a black robe and black clothes, which makes people think that he is not a good person.
Aeneas even felt that a sailor was secretly observing him.
"Are you so vigilant?" Aeneas was also helpless. He really didn't look like a good person like this. "I took it for granted. In fact, I changed into a normal outfit, untied my ponytail, and put on a little makeup. You can’t tell it’s me, Aeneas.”
This was also the first time Aeneas was pretending in front of outsiders, so he had no experience. Fortunately, this time he got some attention.
After walking a few steps, Aeneas saw a tavern that looked cold and dilapidated - the archway at the door read "Dragon's Blood Tavern".
"Dragon Blood Tavern?" Aeneas raised an eyebrow, "How dare you name it. I want to see which dragon-slaying warrior founded this Dragon Blood Tavern."
Just when Aeneas was about to enter the Dragon Blood Tavern, the sailors in Goldshire who noticed Aeneas all left in unison - which made Aeneas a little confused.
"What's going on? It's so strange." Aeneas didn't think much, "Let's go in and have a look."
Despite the dilapidated appearance, there are still many people in this Dragon Blood Tavern. What's interesting is that the people here are all wearing black robes and gray robes. Even those who don't cover their bodies are bald and burly men with tattoos.
At first glance, it didn't look like a tavern that normal gentry and nobles could visit.
"This place is filled with murderous intent. It seems that they are all those who lick blood with swords!" Aeneas could feel the pungent smell of blood as soon as he entered the door. "Golden Town is the last island in the North Sea to enter the great route. It must be There are many pirates stopping in Goldshire every day.”
Aeneas can understand that just like Rogge Town in the East China Sea, there are also some taverns or gangster groups hidden in the dark.
It is said that one of Luffy's little fans, Bartolomeo, was born in Rogue Town.
Aeneas suddenly remembered this matter, but quickly shook it out of his head.
"I don't know how long it will take for that to happen. I won't be visiting the East China Sea for the time being. Let's talk about it later!"
In Aeneas's plan, after entering the Grand Line, he has no plans to go to the East China Sea or the other two seas for the time being, so what happens in the East China Sea has nothing to do with Aeneas.
Aeneas has a unique aura about him, and even though he is 1.9 meters tall, he is not too short here.
So Aeneas didn't encounter any trouble after entering the Dragon Blood Tavern and sat down directly at the bar.
"Dear sir, do you need anything?" A middle-aged male waiter walked into Aeneas and asked, "Do you need anything to drink?"
"Do you have any rum here?" Aeneas asked casually.
"Yes, a thousand beli bottles." The waiter said directly.
"The price is quite reasonable." Aeneas didn't say much, "Just give me three bottles!"
Aeneas put down three thousand-beli banknotes on the bar, and then waited there, observing what the other people were saying.
"Trump, do you know about the gold ship that has been making a lot of noise recently?" said a bald man with a big face plate and a man with a scar on his face next to him.
"Oh, it's Putin. I've heard about the gold ship you talked about. Do you believe it?" The scarred man named Trump sneered, "They're all fake. They lied to people that there is a lot of gold. , is actually a trap, someone specializes in stealing the money of those greedy people!"
Putin shook his head slightly.
"How did I hear that someone saw a real gold ship? The entire ship is made of gold, and gold will be left on the water when it sails!" Putin said vividly, as if he was also on the scene and saw it. Everything floating on the vast water is gold.
"Gold ship?" Aeneas noticed that these people seemed to be talking about something about the gold ship.
At this moment, the waiter brought three bottles of rum.
"Do you know anything about the gold ship?" Aeneas asked casually. He didn't expect the waiter to answer his question, but he didn't expect the other party to directly offer a price.
"Fifty thousand Baileys!" The waiter raised his five fingers and wiped the empty wine bottle in his hand.
"So expensive?" Aeneas was a little unbelievable, "It's just a piece of news. I don't need to spend money to eavesdrop!"
Aeneas's voice was not loud, only the waiter heard it.
"This is your first time." The waiter was quite patient. "You earn money by selling information. If you think the information is valuable, buy it. If you think it's worthless, go ahead and eavesdrop. But I can't guarantee it. Everything they said was right.”
Aeneas sighed.
"Okay, I'll give you [-] beli!" Aeneas himself also had funds from these two major chambers of commerce. In fact, he was not short of money at all. He happened to have [-] beli with him, and he gave it all to the waiter. .
"Happy!" The waiter also opened his eyes at the money and started whispering directly to Aeneas.
It turns out that there is a rumor about a "golden ship" circulating in the sea recently. It is said that if you drive along the Red Earth Continent near the Upside Down Mountain in the distance of Shining Gold Town, you will encounter a golden ship. The place where the golden ship passes will be left. The gold of the next land is floating on the sea.
If this news may be false, but someone actually brought back a large amount of gold, this proves that the news is not false.
But not long after, the gold disappeared.
Some people say that this is because they did not get the real gold. If they want to get the treasure, they must follow the gold ship and sail all the way to the quiet depths.
For a time, there were divergent opinions and no definite conclusion.
