After a battle, everything in the village was as usual, 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 and was about to fetch water and asked:

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

The old man was alert, waving his hands repeatedly, but didn't say a word.

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

"Mute?" Martin concluded, and others thought so too.

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

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

But the situation turned back to just now, and the old man became mute again and just didn't speak.

Zhang Lie had no choice but to turn back 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 is a small village, it looks very lively and full of vitality.

Just when 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 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 red.

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. He is curious about the outside of the island, but he doesn't dare to 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 matter. Because there are some other identities, they usually don't introduce themselves as pirates when they go to the island.

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

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Lie wanted to understand the situation. It looks peaceful now, but there are many abnormal situations.

Zhang Lie had to go over and ask himself. Even if he threatened, 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, and suddenly felt that there was an extra piece of paper in his windbreaker pocket.

Without a change of expression on his face, Zhang Lie continued to walk towards the young man. Just as he came to the side and prepared to interrogate him, he noticed that the receptionist suddenly appeared again.

"Why can't I sense this guy 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 set off to the town. It's more lively there."

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

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

"It's an honor."

The group walked out of the village and encountered thick fog again not far away. However, under the guidance of the receptionist, everyone found a gap in the thick fog, and there was a road inside.

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

"You just said it the other way around. It's not because there is no fog around the road, but because there is no fog." The receptionist explained.

Zhang Lie suddenly said: "I don't know your name yet, is it convenient to tell us?"

"Just call me Ed."

"Yeah." Zhang Lie didn't say anything more. The other party obviously wouldn't tell him more.

Everyone lined up and walked on the road. There was thick fog on both sides and the same on the top, as if a tunnel was dug out of the fog.

From time to time, the sound of wild animals came from the fog, which sounded like wolf howling, which means that you can survive in the fog, but you don't know what it looks like inside.

The path branched out from time to time, and it seemed that it should be connected to other villages, but these roads were also blocked by fog, which meant that Ed had not told the truth before.

The few people remained calm, 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 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 danger?"

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

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

Compared with the village, there are indeed more people in the town, and there are 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 of which are necessities of life."

"It's almost the same as expected. After all, it's an isolated place." Zhang Lie just finished speaking, and saw someone took out a bag of noodles and handed it to the fruit vendor.

"You can take out grain to buy fruit, which means that there is still a lot of surplus grain at home. 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 production workshops, but they were all necessities of life.

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

"Ed, we have seen it all the way, and it is similar to the previous one. Will there be cities and capitals next? "

"We don't have a capital city, but only villages and towns like this. There are no nobles here, and there are no civilians starving to death." Ade showed a proud look on his face.

"You can move freely, feel everything here, and then there will be 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 take a look ourselves."

"Please go ahead. If you need to rest, any house without a name on the door will do. I will send you there when it's time to eat."

After that, Ade left directly, not caring whether they would abide by the rules.

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

"Tell us about your thoughts and discoveries. "

While Zhang Lie and his team were discussing within the team, a warship headed 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.
