In the mortal world, the waiters and waiters of restaurants were the most well-informed people. As long as they were willing to spend a little money, there was nothing they couldn't find out.
Therefore, as soon as Lu Qingshan arrived at Flood Dragon Island, he went straight to the restaurant at Flood Dragon Harbor.
For a restaurant to be opened in a place like Serpent Harbor with such a large flow of people, the business was naturally very good. The huge three-story restaurant was already close to full before it was time for dinner.
Lu Qingshan found a table on the third floor by the window and sat down. After ordering a sumptuous meal, he called out to the waiter who greeted him and gave him a small piece of silver. "Waiter, I want to ask you something."
The waiter didn't immediately take the silver and asked very politely, "What does Young Master want to ask about?"
"I'm new here and want to know about the situation on the island. I wonder if you can tell me a thing or two about it." Lu Qingshan smiled.
After understanding Lu Qingshan's request, the waiter took the silver with a face full of smiles. He used his sleeve to carefully wipe the silver clean and put it in his pocket. He said in a rhythmic voice, "Young Master, you've asked the right person. I've worked in this restaurant for five or six years. Even if I don't know everything about the island, I know most of it …"
Although Flood Dragon Island was large, because of its unique topography, 99% of the population was actually gathered in the southern coastal area around Flood Dragon Harbor. The further north one went, the fewer people there were.
"And it's strange. In the southern part of the island, there's an active volcano that erupts irregularly …" The waiter said in a suspenseful tone.
Lu Qingshan waited for him to continue. "There's nothing strange about a volcano."
Seeing Lu Qingshan answer, the waiter said excitedly, "The strange thing is that this volcano doesn't erupt magma, but a mist that fills the sky."
"Oh?"
"What's even stranger is that this volcano is dark and bottomless. It has an extremely strong suction force, like an abyss that swallows everything.
It is said that even cultivators with the ability to fly in the sky and burrow into the ground would not be able to resist if they accidentally fell into the mouth of this volcano. They would be sucked into the depths and disappear! "The waiter added.
This time, Lu Qingshan paid more attention. A volcano that could even swallow cultivators was indeed worth paying attention to.
After telling Lu Qingshan about the landforms and customs of the island, the waiter introduced the situation of the forces on the island to him.
On Jiao Dragon Island, the most powerful force was the Oceanus Sect. It could be said to be able to cover the sky with one hand and control the only city on Jiao Dragon Island, Jiao Dragon City.
As for the Sea Divinity Sect, the reason for their name was because the person standing behind them was the Sea Divinity.
"Sea God?" Lu Qingshan frowned.
The waiter explained, "It's the Flood Dragon Clan. The Flood Dragon Clan lives in the waters near the Sea God Islands. Their king calls himself the Sea God, and the Sea God Islands are ruled by them. The Sea God Sect is the sect that the Flood Dragon King supports."
"I just heard a saying that the Sea God Sect betrayed their compatriots to please the demon beasts …"
The waiter trembled as if he had been struck by lightning. He did not respond.
'The Sea God Sect is indeed very powerful on Jiao Dragon Island.'
Seeing this, Lu Qingshan thought to himself. At the same time, he quietly handed over another ingot of silver.
A look of hesitation flashed in the waiter's eyes. After struggling for a long time, he finally could not resist the temptation of the silver. He gritted his teeth and took the silver from Lu Qingshan's hand. He lowered his voice and said, "On the surface, the Sea God Sect is a sect supported by the Flood Dragon Clan, but in fact, it's the Flood Dragon Clan's lackey. It's the butcher knife of the Flood Dragon Clan!
The Flood Dragon Demon King calls himself the Sea Divinity, and he's cruel by nature. Every other year, he would hold a sacrificial ceremony and use 99 pairs of virgin boys and girls as sacrifices.
The Sea God Sect is in charge of this ceremony. This tradition has been going on for hundreds of years. Many people on the island have lost their families because of this. "
Lu Qingshan's expression froze. "No one resisted?"
"How dare they? Not to mention that the Flood Dragon Clan can overturn rivers and seas in the sea, just the Sea God Sect's power alone is not something that ordinary people dare to resist." As soon as the waiter finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something. "However, it seems that in recent decades, there are cultivators on the island who can't stand the atrocities of the Sea God Sect. They secretly formed a force and tried to overthrow the rule of the Sea God Sect. I just don't know if they'll succeed …"
Lu Qingshan thought for a while and asked one last question. "When will this year's sacrificial ceremony be held?"
"Young Master, you came at the right time. In five days, this year's sacrificial ceremony will be held."
…
After asking about the specific situation on the island, Lu Qingshan gradually fell into deep thought. When he came back to his senses and wanted to eat some food, he found that the table was already in a mess.
It was not all the work of the Western Rat King, but this time, Lu Qingshan had a companion with him. It was Hidden Sword, who asked to go with him when he got off the ship.
Lu Qingshan looked at the girl who looked like the Western Rat King. Her eyes were shining brightly as she buried her head in the food on the table. He felt a little helpless.
"On the ship, there's nothing but seafood. That's what humans should eat!" Hidden Sword explained when he felt Lu Qingshan's gaze.
The Western Rat King nodded his little head a few times in agreement. He felt that Hidden Sword was a kindred spirit.
Lu Qingshan thought for a while and asked Hidden Sword, who was busy eating, "Why did you come to the Dragon Island? Visiting relatives? Visiting friends? "
Hidden Sword had taught him before. It seemed that the little girl wanted to go with him for a while, so he did not want to refuse. However, he wanted to know the little girl's purpose.
Hidden Sword shook her head and said vaguely, "No … Hmm, wait for me."
She was using her chopsticks to put a big meat bun into her mouth. She only took a small bite, and the steaming hot meat filling was exposed. The girl obviously did not want to give up on the meat bun, but she was in a hurry to answer Lu Qingshan, so she put down her chopsticks and stuffed the rest of the meat bun into her mouth without caring about how hot it was. She stuffed her little face into a small steamed bun, and her cheeks were puffed up.
Hidden Sword tried her best to swallow the meat bun in her mouth. She quickly picked up the teacup beside her and took a big gulp of tea. Only then did she pat her chest and catch her breath. "I almost choked …"
Then, the girl stared at Lu Qingshan with her dark eyes and said calmly, "I'm the same as you. I'm here to find my Natal Sword!"
Lu Qingshan glanced at the Western Rat King who was focused on eating the food on the table.
Hidden Sword immediately understood what Lu Qingshan meant. She waved her hand and clarified for the Western Rat King, "It's not the Western Rat King who told me.
I was born with an ability that allows me to sense swords very well.
However, I didn't feel the existence of your Natal Sword in your dantian. "
"Later, I asked the Western Rat King where you came from, and I learned that you and the Western Rat King came from Qing Province's Zhenjiang Prefecture."
"My father told me that seven years ago, he sensed an extremely powerful sword near the South Sea. I happened to need an Origin Sword, so my father asked me to come to the South Sea to give it a try."
Hidden Sword did not say everything, but the meaning was clear. A sword cultivator who did not have a Natal Sword traveled thousands of miles across two provinces to the Southern Sea where powerful swords once appeared. What else could he want other than a powerful sword?
This inference was very reasonable.
When the Western Rat King heard his name, he raised his head and looked at the two people with a confused expression.
Lu Qingshan said unhappily, "Eat your food."
He was not surprised by Hidden Sword's behavior. Just like how he had tried to find out Hidden Sword's origin, it was natural that Hidden Sword would ask about him intentionally or unintentionally.
However, he did not expect Hidden Sword to have such a special ability and be able to determine his purpose so easily.
However, the little girl had also very frankly stated the purpose of her search for the sword. This undoubtedly caused Lu Qingshan's heart to be filled with unhappiness.
What a clever girl!
She had an extremely strong ability to sense swords. This talent was very strange, but it did not seem to be very useful. Moreover, even with Lu Qingshan's understanding of the Empyrean, he had never heard of it before.
Since Hidden Sword was so frank, Lu Qingshan did not hide it. He nodded and said, "Yes, I'm here to look for my Natal Sword."
Hidden Sword smiled and said, "I saw that you went straight to the restaurant to ask for information as soon as you came to the island, so you must not be sure of the direction.
As for me, I am the same. Perhaps we can exchange information and find the whereabouts of this sword. "
"As for the ownership of the sword …" Hidden Sword tilted his head and looked at Lu Qingshan. He raised his voice and said, "Then it will depend on our own abilities. What do you think?"
