Undercover pirate, you can become stronger by killing enemies

After the battle, everything in the village was as normal as before, as if nothing had happened last night. But how could this be possible?

Zhang Lie didn't believe it, so he stopped an old man who was carrying a bucket to fetch water and asked:

"Old man, do you know what happened last night?"

The old man looked alert and waved his hands repeatedly without saying a word.

Zhang Lie tried various methods and asked Kalifa to communicate, but he couldn't get the old man to speak.

"Dumb?" Martin concluded, and so did the others.

"You are the mute, if you can't speak, don't speak!"The old man suddenly said something that startled several people.

"You can talk, so you should know what happened last night, right?"Zhang Lie hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

But the situation returned to what it was just now. The old man became mute again and refused to speak.

Zhang Lie had no choice but to turn around and look at the people in the village, watching them busy with their own things in an orderly manner.

Washing clothes, cooking, fetching water, although it was a small village, it looked very lively and vibrant.

Just as Zhang Lie was about to find the receptionist, he suddenly caught a glimpse of someone peeking at him.

Turning his head, he found that it was a child of fourteen or fifteen years old. The other party immediately turned his head away and pretended that it had nothing to do with him.

But how could Zhang Lie let it go? He glanced at Kalifa, and the other party immediately walked over, and then he saw that the other party's face was flushed.

After a while, Kalifa came back to report:"He is curious about who we are, but he doesn't know anything else, or he doesn't want to say it. He is curious about the outside of the island, but he dare not show it. When I wanted to ask more, I was stopped by the people next to me."

Zhang Lie suddenly thought of something:"After we came to the island, it seems that we have never said that we are pirates, right?"

Several people looked at each other and suddenly remembered this. Because they had other identities, they usually wouldn't introduce themselves as pirates when they arrived on an island.

"This is a bit awkward." Martin said directly,"Looking at what happened yesterday, they are very afraid of pirates. If they knew our identities, wouldn't they call in the army immediately?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhang Lie wanted to understand the situation. It looked peaceful now, but there were many abnormal situations.

Zhang Lie had to go over and ask. Even if he had to threaten, he couldn't be so ignorant as he is now.

However, after walking a few steps, he passed by a man in his thirties or forties. Suddenly, he felt that there was an extra piece of paper in his windbreaker pocket.

Without changing his expression, Zhang Lie continued to walk towards the young man. Just as he came to the side and was about to question him, he noticed that the receptionist suddenly appeared again.

"How come this guy can't sense it at all?"Zhang Lie thought to himself.

Not only now, but also last night, he suddenly appeared without any sense, and neither he nor Martin could sense it in advance.

"Dear guests, it's almost time. Let's go to the town, which is more lively."

Zhang Lie glanced at the frightened young man in front of him, and without hesitation, he walked towards the receptionist.

"Then you should learn more about how to maintain equality and order."

"It's my honor."

The group walked out of the village and encountered thick fog again not long after going. However, with the guidance of the receptionist, they found a gap in the fog, which showed a road.

Martin immediately asked,"Why is there no fog around this road?"

"You just got it wrong. It's not because there is no fog around the road, but because there is no fog, there is a road." The receptionist explained.

Zhang Lie suddenly said,"I don't know your name yet. Would you mind telling us?"

"Just call me Ed."

""Hmm." Zhang Lie said no more. It was obvious that the other party would not tell him more.

The crowd walked in a line on the road. There was thick fog on both sides and on the top, as if a tunnel was dug out of the fog.

From time to time, the sound of wild beasts could be heard in the fog, which sounded like the howling of wolves. This shows that people can survive in the fog, but they don't know what the scene is inside.

From time to time, the path branches out into several forks, which seem to be connected to other villages, but these roads are also blocked by fog, which means that Ed did not tell the truth before.

Several people remained silent, and Zhang Lie even signaled Martin with his eyes to let him stop talking.

Soon everyone walked out of the thick fog, and a town appeared in front of them. It was called a town, but it looked like a larger village.

There were no city walls, and the houses and infrastructure were very layered. There were also farmlands all around, and farmers were working in the fields.

Zhang Lie asked,"Ed, I just heard that there were wolves in the fog. It seems that there is no sense of defense here. Will there be any danger?"

"Don't worry, they can't get out of the fog, and there are people to deal with these beasts."

Ed briefly explained and continued to lead them into the town.

Compared with the village, there were indeed more people in the town, and there were also some vendors doing business.

Kalifa took a quick look and whispered to Zhang Lie:"They are all food, clothing, housing, transportation and tools, all necessities of life"

"It's pretty much what I expected, after all, it's a secluded place." Zhang Lie had just finished speaking when he saw someone handing a bag of noodles to the fruit vendor.

"Being able to use grain to buy fruit means that the family still has a lot of surplus grain, and it seems that there is really not much tax."

Then Ed took them on a tour. In addition to the vendors, there were also some workshops, but they were all necessities of life.

Zhang Lie didn't want to waste time like this, so he asked directly:

"Ed, as we've seen so far, it's pretty much the same as before. There won't be cities or capitals next, right?"

"We don't have a capital, only villages and towns like this. There are no nobles who are high above us, and there are no civilians who starve to death."Ed showed a proud look on his face.

"You can move around freely and feel everything here, and then you will have a request tomorrow."

Zhang Lie finally felt relieved. It was normal to have something to ask for:"Then you can leave first, and we will see for ourselves."

"Please go ahead. If you need to rest, any house without a name on the door will do. I will take you there when it is time for dinner."

After saying that, Ed left without caring whether they would follow the rules.

The few of them looked at each other and naturally did not continue to visit. Instead, they found an empty house and just as they closed the door, Zhang Lie said:

"Tell us about your thoughts and discoveries."

While Zhang Lie and his team were discussing, a warship was heading straight for Vans Island.

Because Mott couldn't contact Zhang Lie, there happened to be a navy team nearby, and they were Aokiji's former subordinates, so he asked them to come over and take a look.

At the current speed, they will reach Vans Island soon.
