“Good Morning Fina.”
“Nngg... Good morning Jaya~”
Today's activities are still the same as yesterday, after waking up and preparing me with Fina will explore the Ten Thousand Islands.
“Aready?”
“Siap.”
*hop*
After returning to the surface, while carrying Fina I began to jump to the next island.
Our direction of exploring the island of the Ten Thousand Islands leads south following this cluster of islands. If we continue to follow this direction, we will eventually approach the Ten Thousand Islands area adjacent to the Jugara and Namgara kingdoms.
!!?
“Fina..”
“I've activated it.”
When I jumped, I was shocked to see the scene ahead. About 25 km south, there was a ship sailing towards us.
Fina instantly understood what I meant when I called her. Even before I called him he had already first activated the Penetrating View skill to eliminate us. Hopefully the scouts of the ship don't notice us.
Since yesterday was just us here, I forgot to be on guard. Fortunately there was Fina who was always on standby.
“Thank you dear.”
After taking off the golems, it looks like we should return to the ship immediately after this. So we quickly jumped over the islands to take off the lookout golems.
Upon returning, I created golems disguised as humans as an additional ship crew and took out some items to make our group look like merchants.
Hmm.. After creating the golems and looking back at the adventurer ship, the distance of their ship was already about 15 km with us. It should be that the scouts of those at the mast of the watchtower have seen our ship.
About 100 meters away from our ship, one of their crew members gave a gesture of body movement that seemed to indicate that they would approach us peacefully.
Well.. of his movements it's the one I can catch. Maybe they mean something different, but look at it first. Since the Danger Detection skill was off I thought they really wanted to come in peace. Just try if there is a standardization of communication using a flag like on Earth or a loudspeaker magic tool maybe communication between ships can be better.
After the ship was about 20 meters away from our ship, they started to lower the lifeboats and row here. With the help of the golems that gave them the rope, they climbed up our ship.
There were 4 people on board. Three men wearing quiras with long black pants and a woman wearing kemben then coated with kebaya-like clothes? A long gray color past his knees coupled with trousers.
From their status, the three men were the type of melee physical attackers while the women specialized in long-range magic.
“Good morning!”
The oldest and most experienced-looking man came forward as their representative greeted us. Uh even though I said the oldest, she's still 30.
“Good morning gentlemen and adventurous ladies, is there anything we can help you with today?”
Because the adventurer seemed confused who to talk to so I went forward as our representative while returning his greetings.
“We are actually on our way to go to the Kingdom of Pangara while combing the area of the Ten Thousand Islands. But when he saw the flag flying on your ship, one of our group members immediately went out of control forcing to meet you soon. Hahaha.”.
Their representative spoke in a friendly tone and there was even a joke in his words. Waw, quite talkative also this adventurer to the person he just met. But at least from there it can be felt that he is a good person.
The flag that the adventurer means is the flag of the symbol of the Pangara Trade Union. Because I am a member of the union so we have the right to fly the flag.
After saying so, I took out the guild card and displayed a hologram of the guild emblem. I hope that they can trust us more.
“Hm... hm. But it's not ordinary rice, which we want rice from the western kingdoms of Gagara or Patgara. Do you guys have it?”
It seems like they want to find quality rice. Both kingdoms are famous for their rice quality. Did one of their crew members wait three days to get to Pangara and eat rice?
“Of course we have both masters! It costs 1 silver coin and 30 copper coins per kilogram. But if master buys 5 kilos, I can give you the price of 6 silver coins!”
Yes, yes, try to be promoted like that, who knows they are interested.
“Hm... no need, we just want to buy one kilogram of Patgara rice only.”
Promotion failed. But at least not in the bargain.
“Then please wait a minute we will provide the rice.”
After picking up the sack of rice and the scales, I started measuring them on the scales.
“Astarting from zero well sir.”
I said with a business smile while pointing my right hand at the scales.
“?? Okay.”
The adventurer looked at me in surprise at first then nodded his head.
“Adventurous master, is this area of the archipelago always quiet like this?”
While weighing, I tried to find information related to this archipelago. Because after I thought back, this area was too quiet for monsters and adventurers as an area reserved for silver adventurer leveling.
“Hm. so you are new to this island. The Ten Thousand Islands area adjacent to the kingdoms is sometimes quiet monsters or adventurers who stop by because this area is often cleared of royal soldiers. In addition, there are usually many adventurers who pass by around here so if there are monsters, they will definitely be cleansed.”
Oh that's it anyway. Btw, usually? Indeed what happened to the extent that only one ship had been seen since we arrived here?
While thinking like that, I gave the rice wrapped in banana leaves.
“Thank you for the purchase! Since the master has provided valuable information, the master only needs to pay half of it.”
Well. I think the information is quite valuable. Because as long as the scouting golems traced the Kingdom of Pangara, I did not get this kind of information.
Even though cutting the price of rice by half feels excessive.
“Hm... How about I provide additional valuable information so that the price can be cut more?”
The humans. Hearts ask for heart.
“Oho... depends on the contents of the information sir.”.
Smiling with a curious expression I tried asking.
“If you go further south about 2 days from here, there are many adventurers are gathering there. There were even some groups of golden adventurers gathering. They are crowded because there is a valuable dungeon.”
Hmm. The information does sound important. But those of us who are indeed aiming to the south and will even explore these islands until the Kingdom of Tigara will certainly meet with these adventurers and will find out information about the dungeon. But after I thought back, there was a good thing if we could find out this information first than when we had already arrived there.
“Thank you very much for the information sir! You can get the rice for free!”
Consider it a gift because you are our first buyer since I became a trader ‘sah’.
Moreover, where many adventurers had gathered, merchants should have interspersed there. It can certainly benefit a lot. Yes, that's if the mindset as a trader. If it is currently, my mindset where they are gathered, other than a precious dungeon, it must be a monster and its dungeon is difficult. Hohoho. if the dungeon is difficult maybe I can secretly take the dungeon core. There will be plenty of mana for Moon Island.
