Chapter 140 (1/2)
In common customs, the waiter of the restaurant must be the most informed group. As long as he is willing to spend a little money, there is nothing he can't find out.
So once on Jiaolong Island, Lu Qingshan went straight to the port restaurant of Jiaolong port.
The business of restaurants opened in jiaolonggang, a place with such a large flow of people, is naturally very prosperous. The huge three-story restaurant is almost full before the meal point.
Lu Qingshan found a window seat on the third floor and sat down. After ordering rich wine and dishes, he shouted to the waiter and stuffed a small piece of broken silver. ”Waiter, ask you something.”
The waiter did not receive the broken silver at the first time, but asked politely, ”what do you want to know?”
”I'm a newcomer here and want to know about the situation on the island. I wonder if you can tell me something or two.” Lu Qingshan smiled.
After hearing Lu Qingshan's request, the waiter took the broken silver with a smile on his face, carefully wiped the broken silver with his cuffs, received it into his pocket, and said in a restrained voice: ”young master, you're asking the right person. I've been working in this restaurant for five or six years, and there are still things on the island, if you don't know clearly...”
Jiaolong island is large, but because of its unique terrain, 99% of the population is actually concentrated in the southern coastal area around Jiaolong port. The farther north, the more sparsely populated.
”And it's strange to say that there is a live fire mountain pass at the big head in the south of the island, which will erupt irregularly...” the waiter said in suspense.
Lu Qingshan waited for the following, ”there's nothing strange about the crater?”
Seeing Lu Qingshan's answer, the waiter was very excited and said, ”it's strange that what erupted in this crater is not magma, but water mist all over the sky.”
”Oh?”
”What's more strange is that the crater is dark, bottomless and marginal, and has extremely strong suction, like an abyss that devours everything.
It is said that even the friars who have the ability to fly to heaven and escape from the earth have no resistance if they accidentally fall into the crater. They are sucked into the depths and disappear! ”The waiter added.
Lu Qingshan was distracted. The crater that even monks can swallow is really worth noting.
Having finished the landform and customs of the island, the waiter introduced Lu Qingshan to the forces on the island.
On Jiaolong Island, the biggest force is the sea god sect. It can be said that it covers the sky and controls the only city on Jiaolong Island, Jiaolong city.
The sea god sect got its name because they stood behind the ”sea god”.
”Poseidon?” Lu Qingshan frowned.
The waiter explained, ”it's the Jiaolong family. The sea area near the sea god islands inhabits the Jiaolong family. Their king calls himself the sea god. The sea god islands belong to their rule. The sea god sect is the sect power supported by the Jiaolong king.”
”I just heard a saying that the sea god sect sold its compatriots to please monsters...”
The waiter seemed to be struck by lightning and was shocked without answering.
The sea god sect really has great prestige in Jiaolong island.
Seeing this, Lu Qingshan said in his heart. At the same time, he quietly handed over a complete ingot of silver.
The waiter blinked hesitation in his eyes and struggled for a long time. Finally, he couldn't resist the temptation of silver. He bit his teeth, took the silver from Lu Qingshan, lowered his voice a few minutes and said: ”the sea god sect ostensibly said that it was the sect supported by the Jiaolong clan, but it was actually the running dog of the Jiaolong clan and the butcher's knife of the Jiaolong demon clan!
The Dragon demon king calls himself the sea god. He is cruel by nature. He will hold a sacrifice ceremony every other year, with 99 pairs of boys and girls as sacrifices.
The sea god sect is responsible for the operation of this matter. This tradition has lasted for hundreds of years. I don't know how many people on the island have lost their families. ”
Lu Qingshan's face was frozen. ”Didn't anyone fight?”
”How dare you? Not to mention that the Jiaolong family can turn over rivers and seas in the sea. Just because the Poseidon sect is powerful, it is not that ordinary people dare to resist.” the waiter suddenly remembered something when he said that, ”However, it seems that in recent decades, some friars on the island who dislike the atrocities of the sea god sect secretly organized a force to try to overturn the rule of the sea god sect, but they don't know whether they can succeed...”
Lu Qingshan thought deeply and asked the last question, ”when will this year's sacrificial ceremony be held?”
”Childe, you're here. In five days, it will be the day of this year's sacrificial ceremony.”
