Chapter 18 Yutiel
In the end, Zhang Yun did not use the New Year fireworks because the billowing smoke was very conspicuous on the cliff. The people on the ship immediately noticed this place and saw Zhang Yun waving her hands.
They drove the boat to the beach closest to the cliff and raised thick smoke to signal Zhang Yun to follow the instructions.
Zhang Yun made some preparations, and took the murloc team and the elves back to the follower space, leaving only Brother Zun by his side, while also collecting Brother Zun's weapons.
After all, Zhang Yun had not figured out the details of this world, and he did not know how those humans would accept other creatures. What if they did not believe in the profession of summoner, or did not think that there were elves and murlocs in this world...
That would be troublesome.
Soon, Zhang Yun and Zun Ge came in front of the group of people.
"Friends, have you encountered a shipwreck and drifted to this island?"
Fortunately, the automatic translation in the game was not disabled, so I could understand what the other person said...
Zhang Yun immediately replied: "Yes, we drifted on the sea for a long time and unknowingly arrived at this island."
The leader of the other party was a greasy fat man with a big belly. He was dressed more gorgeously than the others and was protected by several strong young men. He should be a big boss doing maritime business.
He said: "That's unfortunate..."
After a pause, he continued, "The destination of our ship is Bantsona, but we will stop for supplies on the way. The location is Lolo Island, which is about two days away from here. You can take our ship to Lolo Island, and then wait for other ships there to take you back to where you want to go."
“If your destination is near Bantsona, you can also follow us directly to Bantsona and get off there.”
Well?
So direct?
Zhang Yun was a little confused, but she didn't show it. Instead, she pretended to be embarrassed and said, "But sir, we both have no money because of the shipwreck..."
"Oh, it's free, you just need to help do some work on the boat."
The fat businessman continued, "By the way, you probably haven't eaten for a few days on the island, right? I still have some bread on my boat. You can eat some first to relax."
"Carter, go to the kitchen and get these two gentlemen something to eat."
"Okay, boss, I'll be there right away." The man called Carter raised his hand, responded, and trotted back to the boat.
All this happened in just three seconds. The fat boss finished speaking in one breath, and Carter ran very fast, not giving Zhang Yun any chance to refuse.
that……
I'm not hungry at all...
I just ate a chicken drumstick not long ago...
The fat boss didn't notice the strangeness on Zhang Yun's face, but continued to make arrangements: "Gentlemen , there are many magical beasts on the wild islands nearby, and they are all very powerful."
"We should not stay down there for too long, lest we be attacked by them. Let's get on the boat first. It's safer on the boat, and we can talk slowly then."
Zhang Yun: “…”
no!
Isn't this right?
Don’t they always interrogate the victims carefully on TV?
Why put it directly on the boat?
Aren’t you afraid that we are undercover agents sent by pirates?
Could it be that they themselves are pirates or human traffickers...
However, once on board, the group of people did not show any aggressive attitude. Instead, they returned to their respective jobs and cooperated with the employees who had stayed on the ship before to open the mainsail and restart the ship.
Just like that, Zhang Yun and Zun Ge were invited on board by the fat boss and his men without them figuring out anything and without explaining their origins. They were also given sweet bread and warm milk.
"Well……"
"What the hell is going on..."
Zhang Yun was very puzzled, so she used her inherited skill "Insight" to carefully look at all the people on the boat. Based on the information given in the introduction, she found that they were indeed not bad people.
Among them, the fat boss was called "Robert", a sea freight merchant. His main business covered three areas. First, he transported the local specialties of Bantsona to a city called Rant, then transported the silk of Rant to an island called Tris, and finally transported the fine wine of Tris back to Bantsona.
He has about thirty employees under him, most of whom are sailors responsible for driving the ship, as well as basic staff such as cooks and repairmen.
The remaining small part is made up of combatants, consisting of five magicians around level 20, one priest at level 17, and three melee fighters around level 25.
Carter, who delivered the bread, was the leader. His personal level was 27 and his occupation was a melee swordsman. There were question marks over his occupation level and specific data, but judging from the aura he exuded, it should not be too low.
In addition, there are a few people with strange introductions on the ship, such as a third-rate painter and a pig farmer.
If you think about it carefully, they should be passengers who took the boat to Bantsona. It is normal for the crew to transport a few more people while transporting goods to make some extra money.
Afterwards, after Zhang Yun had eaten and drunk her fill, she had a detailed chat with Robert and the crew members.
He obtained some intelligence, learned some information about this world, and also figured out why this group of people asked him to board the ship directly.
In fact, this world is not the background of "The Lost Kingdom". All the country and place names are different from those in the game, but the existing species are strange and there are all kinds of them, including murlocs and light ball versions of elemental elves.
If Zhang Yun wanted to summon all the followers in the "Lost Kingdom", there would basically be no problem, and no one would be surprised by the unknown species.
Unless it's a hundred-meter-long behemoth like the evil dragon Jinli...
As for the detailed information about the world, Zhang Yun did not dare to ask in detail, because it would make herself seem strange that she did not even know some common sense things.
So he only figured out a few points.
First: This is the territory of the Kingdom of Alberia, including Bantsona, Tris, and Lant, all of which are its cities, and this sea area is also considered its territory.
Second: People like Zhang Yun with black hair and black eyes are not uncommon. On the contrary, they are everywhere. They all come from Eastern countries, so the people on the ship don’t find Zhang Yun’s appearance strange at all.
Third: This sea area is large and dangerous. Not only are there pirates, but there are also powerful monsters lurking beneath the sea.
Although they rarely attack large human ships, it is better to be safe than sorry, so Robert recruited five powerful magicians on the ship to escort him.
Fourth: Oh my goodness I explored the island first. If I hadn’t, and instead built a small wooden boat on the first day and just drifted with the current, I would have wasted my resurrection coins and dragon diamonds…
As for the reason why Robert and others let Zhang Yun get on board directly.
First of all, Robert is a man engaged in ocean transportation. He travels back and forth on the ocean all year round. It can be said that he has half of his head pressed into the sea water. He might be killed by a tsunami at any time.
So he was very superstitious, or you could say he had faith. He was extremely pious to the "Sea Goddess Siren" and abided by the sea doctrine she set - saving every distressed person he met. In this way, he would be protected by the Sea Goddess and would never be in danger.
Secondly, Robert is a kind person. He often helps homeless people and provides them with food and shelter.
Carter, the bread delivery guy, obviously has a powerful strength of level 27, but he obeys orders from a greasy fat man like him. It is because he has been favored by Robert since he was a child that he is so loyal.
If it weren't for Robert's help, the orphan Carter would have starved to death on the streets long ago. How could he have become a swordsman and the captain of the combat team on this ship?
Therefore, it was normal for Robert to let Zhang Yun get on the boat. If it were another person in distress, he would also decisively stop the boat and save someone's life.
In addition, there is another reason... Everyone who works on a ship knows that accidents can happen at any time and it is impossible to always go smoothly.
If you save a victim today, maybe tomorrow when you are in trouble, the person you saved will find you by boat and rescue you.
Even if it wasn't him, it might be someone else who was rescued and ran into you and saved you.
Saving others is the same as saving yourself. This is a truth believed by many people in the Kingdom of Alberia.
What's more, many people are willing to repay a favor. If you take someone home, who knows, the other person might be so grateful that he or she might give you a gold mine as a reward. Wouldn't you make a fortune then?
Therefore, most captains would order rescue when they encounter people in distress, unless there is really no other way, such as when there are powerful sea creatures, or there is not enough food on the ship...
As for the pirates.
These guys are indeed a bit annoying, but they are not the short-sighted type who like to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. They will not rob everything every time, but will rob a part of it as the "toll" paid by the merchant ships.
Considering that they hang around on the sea all day and have eliminated many magical beasts that like to attack ships, many merchant ships choose not to resist and just pay the tolls.
Some of these pirates are quite conscientious. If you pay them, they will follow you for a day and protect you.
So strictly speaking, these pirates are not pirates in the traditional sense, but mercenaries organized by the people themselves. They are just "special mercenaries" who will forcibly protect you.
Therefore, Robert and his companions were not very afraid of pirates, and did not carefully interrogate Zhang Yun. What was to come would come anyway...
After figuring out the reason, Zhang Yun felt relieved and no longer doubted this group of kind-hearted people, especially the fat boss Robert who looked extremely wretched...
At night, Zhang Yun and Zun Ge followed Robert's arrangements and lived in the damp hold.
Although the environment here is not very good, it is still habitable. After all, other places are reserved for employees and other people on the ship. The two of them really can't squeeze in. If they don't live here, they will have to go to the deck to blow the cold sea breeze.
In this way, Zhang Yun spent another peaceful night in the other world, and nothing happened the whole night.
The next day, Robert assigned some tasks to Zhang Yun and Zun Ge, which were basically chores like sweeping the floor, setting the table, washing dishes, etc., which were not difficult at all.
He and Brother Zun completed these tasks step by step, and also did some extra things, such as helping the sailors carry things and tie ropes, which instantly brought him closer to the people on the boat.
When it was time for dinner, the chef on the ship prepared a sumptuous lunch using food preserved by freezing magic, and then gathered those who did not have to work at the time to enjoy it.
Zhang Yun followed them , eating the mediocre steak while listening to them talk about all sorts of things and absorbing the information and intelligence.
It’s a pity that these people either talk about their aunts and uncles or women of various styles, and there is nothing useful in their topics.
In desperation, Zhang Yun gave up eavesdropping and directly joined the conversation, consciously guiding them to talk about things in this world, especially those concerning high-level professionals.
When talking about this, the group of professionals became interested and immediately joined the topic.
They are all boasting more than the other, saying that the guy next door is a high-level archer who shot the heads of five monsters with one arrow...
Or maybe my uncle was a high-level magician who accidentally discovered the location of an underground organization and destroyed their secret base by himself...
Some even said that their ancestors were super warriors who had torn a dragon apart with their bare hands...
But there were also normal speeches.
"There are top warriors who can fight one against a hundred, but they are very rare."
"Most high-level professionals are not as powerful as imagined. Although they have outstanding abilities, they will still be at a disadvantage when besieged by an organized and disciplined army."
"When they encounter some powerful monsters, they cannot defeat them by their own strength. They must rely on the abilities of their companions and cooperate with each other to defeat the monsters."
"A magician can easily defeat hundreds of people, but the triggering conditions are too harsh. Ordinary people will never deliberately stand in a group and let the magician use magic to attack them at will."
"Moreover, magicians generally have weaker physical qualities, and their reaction speed is no different from that of ordinary people. If someone gets close to them, even if it's just an ordinary person without a job, there is a chance that they can kill a high-level magician with a sneak attack..."
The man sitting in the corner was named "Yutier". He was dressed simply, had a delicate appearance and a thin body. He was out of place among the muscular men around him who were shirtless and drinking beer.
After hearing what Yutier said, Zhang Yun couldn't help but become interested in him. She found out that this guy didn't show up yesterday and she hadn't seen his information.
He quickly used "Insight" to scan Yutiel's information.

[Introduction: A mysterious man. ]
…
Damn it!
what is this?
All question marks? Even the level and profession are question marks? Can't figure it out?
And this weird introduction, which is even simpler than my own "Lonely Summoner", only has six words, which is definitely the shortest introduction ever...
Zhang Yun became more and more curious. He sat directly next to Yutiel, picked up a glass of beer, toasted him, and asked, "Friend, have a drink?"
Yutiel shook his head apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I don't drink alcohol. I'm allergic to it."
After hearing this, Zhang Yun put down his wine glass and asked, "Just now you said that the powerful monsters are so powerful that even high-level professionals cannot fight alone. They must rely on the help of many people to have a chance to defeat them."
"I want to ask you something."
" Are the two magical beasts, the Night Wolf and the Fierce Wind Bird, considered powerful magical beasts?"
