No matter how fast the Wind God Boat was, it could only cover sixty thousand kilometers in a day.
Han Fei regretted that he didn't carve all kinds of speed arrays on the Wind God Boat after he grasped the arrays.
However, it wasn't slow at all. It took them two and a half days to reach the big ship at the center of the Sea of Pearls.
It was more like a fortress at the center of the sea than a ship. It wasn't in the shape of a ship at all. Below it was an indestructible mountain that seemed to have been nailed to the bottom of the ocean.
Three hundred meters above the sea, there were stairs, corridors, and many windows. The higher they went, the more complicated the structure would be. It was like a small city had been built on a ship-shaped mountain.
Luo Xiaobai said, "The pearl divers like to call this place the Pearl Divers' Port. This place has already become a small city. It's not as rich as the Scattered Stars Island, but it's not bad. Also, because this is the Sea of Pearls, the source of wealth for the Scattered Stars Island, the Thousand Star City, and the 36 towns, large transactions often happen here. Therefore, there are often extremely wealthy people who stay here. "
Han Fei's eyes glittered. "Rich people?"
Luo Xiaobai glanced at him. "Don't get any ideas. Because this place is very rich, it has all the facilities, and rare items are often auctioned here. You don't have to worry about any accidents during the auctions here. That's because at least ten Law Enforcers are stationed in the Pearl Divers' Port at any time … "
Everybody gasped and looked at Luo Xiaobai. "Where are we going now?"
Luo Xiaobai said, "To pay the fee and go to sea. We can't dive for pearls without permission. There's nothing interesting about the Pearl Divers' Port, except that the buildings are different. The facilities here are the same as those on the Scattered Stars Island. "
Han Fei asked, "What about the auction? When will it be held? "
Luo Xiaobai said, "I'm not sure. I've only read the files, and it might be held on the register. However, if there is an auction, it'll be posted at the registration office. "
A moment later …
Led by Luo Xiaobai, everybody set foot on a departure port.
In fact, they didn't need to search for it.
As long as they walked on the road to the departure port, they could see the steeple-shaped building about three thousand meters away with their naked eyes. Apart from the building, the rest of the place was a plaza.
Luo Xiaobai explained, "The registration office has two functions. One is the handover service for pearl divers, and the other is the issuance of temporary sea passes. Recently, everyone knew that there was something wrong with the Sea of Pearls. Therefore, there are a lot of people who want to explore this place. "
When they walked to the registration office, Han Fei said, "What if the temporary pass expires? Wouldn't it be troublesome if I had to keep coming here to renew the fee? "
Luo Xiaobai said, "The temporary card I gave you is white. Once it expired, it would turn black. At that time, as long as you are in the Sea of Pearls, someone will come looking for you, and you can pay on the spot. "
Han Fei nodded. "It's really expensive! Five thousand high-quality pearls a day! Isn't that too expensive? "
Le Renkuang nodded quickly. "That's true. It's too expensive. We need to catch more marine creatures … "
Luo Xiaobai said, "No! The Sea of Pearls was filled with low-level creatures. Because of the diversity of species here, it's easier for the Spiritual Energy Mussels to hunt and breed high-quality pearls. If you hunt them randomly, you'll be fined if you're caught. "
Han Fei and the others were all surprised. Was there such a rule?
Han Fei thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. Speaking of which, once the temporary pass expires, they'll know it immediately, right? Also, they'll be able to locate us? "
Luo Xiaobai nodded. "That's right. The Sea of Pearls is not small. We'll stay here for twenty days. If we don't find anything wrong in twenty days, we'll leave. "
Han Fei nodded. "I agree."
Le Renkuang remarked with mixed feelings, "400,000 high-quality pearls, that's all?"
Zhang Xuanyu said lazily, "If so many people find out that there's something special about this place, it'll be worth more than 400,000. But I suspect that they're just trying to trick us out of our money. "
Luo Xiaobai shook her head and smiled casually. "Not yet."
A moment later …
On the way to the registration office, Han Fei found that most of the people in the crowd were only Hanging Fishers.
Among them, there were quite a number of people with incomplete bodies. Some were missing an arm, some were missing half an arm, some had leg problems, and some were wearing masks.
In fact, other than broken limbs that couldn't be regrown, many injuries could be healed. Otherwise, why would they need spirit gatherers?
Luo Xiaobai said, "Most of them are from the battlefield. Most of these people are disabled, which means that even spirit gatherers can't do anything about their injuries. They don't have the money to hire stronger spirit gatherers or alchemists to buy medicine and see a doctor. So, they come to be pearl divers to make money. After they recover from their injuries, most people will not continue to be pearl divers. "
Finally, he walked to the registration office. Han Fei looked at the wall. However, there was no notice of the auction here. So, Han Fei entered the registration office.
There was a hubbub of voices in the hall.
Some of the reception windows were for pearl divers. The way to distinguish pearl divers was actually very simple. He only needed to see if there were any disabled people in the crowd, and they were basically pearl divers.
Han Fei said, "Hello, four temporary waist tags for twenty days."
The waiter said, "Please pay 400,000 high-quality pearls."
When Han Fei and the others paid, they attracted a lot of attention. Luo Xiaobai and the others might be too outstanding.
Someone in the team of pearl divers nearby asked in surprise, "Are people here to find the secrets of the Sea of Pearls again?"
Someone slightly shook his head. "How many groups of people have come? Are they really unwilling to give up? Besides, the fireballs are not interesting at all. "
Someone said, "Idiot, did you see their waist tags? They are six-star Slaughterers, and only one is a five-star Blood Guard. You can be slapped to death by that slap. "
The man smiled. "What are you scared of? This is the Pearl Divers' Port. Nothing has ever happened to anyone here. "
Han Fei overheard their conversation just now. He suddenly turned his head and looked at the two of them. "Brothers, do the fireballs you mentioned appear often?"
Hearing Han Fei's sudden question, the two of them immediately shivered. One of them said, "My lord, the fireballs don't appear a lot. They are only discovered when we are picking pearls. But they only exist for a while before disappearing. "
Han Fei nodded. "What do the fireballs look like?"
The pearl diver quickly said, "They're like Flying Disc Corals. However, they're fatter than Flying Disc Corals. Whenever they appear, there are always three or four of them in a row. They're blue and purple and quite bright. You can see them from a distance. "
The other person added, "Many people have seen the blue and purple flames. Some people observed them from a close distance, and some even touched them with their hands! However, they found that they were not hot at all. "
Han Fei asked in surprise, "Oh! So, you've all seen them? "
The two of them nodded. "In the Sea of Pearls, almost all the pearl divers saw them after the earthquake. Then, they became fewer and fewer. Now, they're barely seen. However, the mysterious flames are not the most famous. "
Han Fei smiled and asked, "Oh? Then what is it? "
The man glanced at Han Fei and said in a low voice, "My lord, that's a secret."
Han Fei glanced at the door, and the two of them smiled and soon followed Han Fei to the door.
Han Fei asked, "That depends on how much your intelligence is worth."
One of them chuckled and said, "My lord, the Pearl Divers' Port is not announced to the public. That's because many pearl divers have mysteriously gone missing recently. "
Zhang Xuanyu's eyes glittered. "That makes sense. Otherwise, nobody would've paid much attention to a few fires after the earthquake, right? "
Luo Xiaobai looked at them and said, "A hundred high-quality pearls for each of you."
The two of them didn't think it was too little and accepted the money with a smile.
It was just an outdated intelligence, and they had earned two hundred high-quality pearls. Why not?
Han Fei looked at Luo Xiaobai and the others. "It seems that there are indeed secrets! However, we seem to be late! "
Han Fei suddenly remembered that Luo Xiaobai mentioned something when he just came out of the Scattered Stars Island. However, Luo Xiaobai said it casually back then, so Han Fei didn't think much of it.
It seemed that there were indeed secrets hidden in the Sea of Pearls!
As the four of them walked out, Luo Xiaobai said, "We're indeed a bit late. Somebody must've been here to investigate. However, I'm thinking that if your little white fish is capable of tracking, maybe we still have a chance. "
Zhang Xuanyu and Le Renkuang nodded quickly. They trusted Xiaobai very much.
Han Fei chuckled. "Then let's give it a try. If we can't find anything, we can consider this a vacation. After all, we've been on the Scattered Stars Island for a long time, and we haven't had a chance to gather together. This time, let's just treat it as an adventure. "
Zhang Xuanyu and Le Renkuang looked at Han Fei at the same time.
Zhang Xuanyu said, "Hey, you were the one who was busy, weren't you? You were busy refining and … Then, you stayed outside for such a long time! "
Han Fei chuckled. "It's not too late to start now! After all, there are still more than two years before we leave the Scattered Stars Island! That's enough for us to explore a lot of places … "
Suddenly, Han Fei's eyes cramped. He saw an acquaintance: Jiang Tong?
When Han Fei saw Jiang Tong, Jiang Tong happened to see Han Fei too.
This was a person with a very low sense of existence.
When they worked together to cheat money in the Wind Thunder Town … Bah, bah, bah … When they worked together to make money, this Jiang Tong played a great role.
Later, when he first came to the Scattered Stars Island, Han Fei also saw Jiang Tong in the battle of the Heaven-Human Strait.
Then, Han Fei didn't see him again. But at this moment, he found that Jiang Tong was already a Hidden Fisher, and his waist tag was the same as his, also a six-star.
At this moment, Han Fei suddenly realized that this person was not simple! He could get a six-star quietly, faster than Le Renkuang! Besides, few people knew him. This made Han Fei quite curious.
Seeing Han Fei, Jiang Tong looked away and was about to go to the registration hall.
Han Fei immediately shouted, "Why are you running? Come on, long time no see. Shouldn't we catch up? "
Jiang Tong looked back with a sad face. He didn't expect to meet Han Fei at this time!
Jiang Tong smiled and said, "Oh! What a coincidence, what a coincidence. Are you … Pearl divers? "
Han Fei replied with a fake smile, "Do you think the four of us look like pearl divers?"
Jiang Tong glanced at the corner of his mouth. "No."
