I'm really the captain of the flying Henan people.

Chapter 182 Raise your skull!

City of Shipwrecks.

Raven was wearing a hooded suit, slowly patrolling the East and West City.

For a city or even a country, their market is always the most sensitive place to reflect the economic and political conditions.

The market is separated by shipwrecks, and according to the different items sold, it is divided into nine small markets, each with [-] steps.

The cries of sales in various markets are endless, and people come and go, like a cloud of smoke.

Those who specialize in selling alcoholic beverages are for alcoholic beverages. You can often see the priests of the sea god in the name of enshrining the god of the sea, eating and drinking at the liquor market with public funds;
Next to the wine market is the Fragrance Market, where the fishy smell of the sea is strong, and people have a great demand for spices. The fairy osmanthus from the Southern Islands and the magic incense from the West Prison Kingdom are extremely popular.

There are also food markets that sell all kinds of food, such as dog butchers, pig butchers, and the cheapest fish butchers...

Raven was most concerned about the fish butcher business, he stood silently beside the fish butcher stall, observing the people coming and going.

"Sell fresh fish, sell fresh fish, one silver jazz and two catties of fish!"

"Deep-sea hairtail, eat it to strengthen your body and prevent all diseases, all you need is one Inal!"

An old lady Zheng who has lived in the poor areas of the city for many years walked slowly into Dongshi with a basket. When she heard the price of fresh fish, she was shocked and exclaimed:
"Why has the price of fresh fish tripled? How can you afford it?"

Li Yutu was busy scraping fish scales for the guests, when he heard Mrs. Zheng's words, he immediately explained:

"Those evil outlanders threw the corpses of evil objects into our Ansu Kingdom, and fishing activities in tens of thousands of miles of sea area were affected. Our shipwreck city is only more than 1000 miles away from the outlander's sea area. The price of fish will only get higher and higher."

Mrs. Zheng collapsed on the ground, crying loudly on the spot, cursing foreigners repeatedly with the slang of the shipwreck city:
"These damn outsiders, garbage, mudbloods, go to hell... My family has five children, and two of my sons died at the hands of outsiders. If I can't even afford fresh fish, how will I live in the future? oh."

"I'm not alive, I'm dead~"

Mrs. Zheng's ugly cry attracted many passers-by to watch.

Li Yutu frowned, hurriedly pulled Mrs. Zheng to her side, and whispered:

"Don't cry, I also have cheap fish here, ten catties of fish for one silver sir, do you want it?"

Mrs. Zheng was overjoyed when she heard the words, her crying face turned into a smile, and she hurriedly said:

"If you want, I'll buy ten catties. Thank you very much. You are the savior of our family."

As she said that, Mrs. Zheng took out a red cloth bag from the sole of her shoe, and then took out a slightly old silver knight from it, and was about to hand it to Li Yutu, but found that he secretly handed her a "big bag" from his sleeve. Fish", suddenly said angrily:

"Surnamed Li, are you trying to kill our whole family? You cut off the tentacles under this fish, so you thought I couldn't see? Although I am old, my eyesight is still good!"

Li Yutu said angrily:
"I thought you were pitiful, so I planned to sell it to you."

"As far as your family is concerned, you only earn seven or eight silver knights a month. If you don't eat this kind of fish, what will you do to support your family?"

Raven, who was standing aside, covered his face with a hood, wanting to observe which way Mrs. Zheng would choose?Do you risk becoming evil and eat "fish", or go hungry and buy expensive fish?
Mrs. Zheng is caught in a tangle. Once she makes a wrong choice, she and the whole family may face a life-and-death crisis.

Raven's expression hidden under the hood became more and more cheerful, very curious about Mrs. Zheng's final decision.

"I'll buy."

Old Madam Zheng looked sad, looked at Yu Tu with pity, and bought a "fish" with a silver coin.

Afterwards, she carefully left the food market with the basket in her hand.

Raven was curious, so he followed secretly, but found that Mrs. Zheng did not leave the East and West Second Market, but turned around and turned back again, returning to the food market.

She went to Jiujunsi.

Raven had a vague guess in his heart.

Jiujun Division is the market management organization of the Shipwreck City, responsible for collecting taxes, monitoring and maintaining market law and order.

Mrs. Zheng had a bit of shame on her face, but for the sake of the few children at home, she resolutely walked in and said loudly:
"My lord, I will report, I will report the fifth fish butcher on the west side of the food market, surnamed Li, he sold me a fish!"

Chief Jiujun was taken aback when he heard the words, and said in doubt:
"Yu Tu sold you a fish, what's the problem?"

Mrs. Zheng choked, and then took out a "fish" from the wrapped vegetable basket. Chief Jiu Jun's face suddenly changed, and he said angrily:

"He really sold it to you?"

Mrs. Zheng said rightly:
"Just now, just now, Li Yutu took out a fish from the box at the bottom of his feet and sold it to me. Go check it now, and you will definitely get something."

Chief Jiu Jun immediately dispatched with several soldiers and surrounded Li Yutu's stall.

Li Yutu's expression remained unchanged, and he pretended to be calm and said:

"My lords, I am a good citizen, and I never do tax evasion."

Chief Jiujun sneered, and kicked away Li Yutu's stall, and the evil fish corpses in the box below were dumped, making the passers-by around afraid to avoid it.

"Evil thing?"

"No, it's an evil fish, you can't eat it, we'll turn into monsters if we eat it!"

"It's devoid of conscience."

Li Yutu was about to speak, but saw Mrs. Zheng hiding in the crowd, and immediately knew the cause and effect, and said angrily:

"Zheng Guifeng, I sold you cheap meat with good intentions and good intentions, but you still come to harm me, you will die... um."

Li Yutu's mouth was stuffed into a white cloth by Chief Jiujun, and he was then taken to the detention center.

Mrs. Zheng received the reporting bonus from Jiu Junsi—a total of twelve golden Enals.

She used these bloody gold coins to buy over a hundred catties of salted fish, as well as various kinds of food that could be preserved, and brought them all back home.

"Grandma, you're back."

Five young children cheered and gathered around Mrs. Zheng.

Mrs. Zheng touched the youngest youngest son, tears flowed down unconsciously, and apologized weakly:
"Brother Li, I know you are a good person, I really feel sorry for you, it's all for the children..."

a day later.

Li Yutu and his parents and children were all sent to the "People's Market" by Jiu Junsi, that is, the slave market where Raven once visited.

The last "good" businessman in the Shipwreck City became a slave, but the contradiction between the food needs of the poor and the lack of fishery in the nearby waters still exists.

So, the "fish" disappeared, but those evil fish were crushed, mixed with a lot of kelp and seaweed, made into various fish balls, and flowed into the slums.

Even some civilians with little savings have to eat a small amount of fish balls to alleviate the famine due to rising prices.

The resentment accumulated by the people is getting heavier.

In order to ease the conflict, the City Lord's Mansion immediately activated its propaganda machine, posting information about foreigners everywhere.

Raven picked up a promotional paper, looked at the weird portrait on it, couldn't help laughing in surprise:
"Did we portray us humans as evil ghosts? Did you paint all the blame on humans?"

"However, you underestimate such things as contradictions. You make the poor resent foreigners. The lower classes will affect the middle classes, and the middle classes will affect the upper classes. Sooner or later, you will be forced to wage war against humans! The lower classes will also overcome the upper classes. of!"

Raven shook his head, no longer caring about the life and death of the poor in the deep sea, turned around and walked into a secret residence, and said slowly:

"Are you ready?"

An alchemy apprentice held up a scalpel and said tremblingly:

"Preparation is ready, but you may not be able to resist the rejection reaction later, you are only a fourth-level extraordinary species, at least you need a high-level extraordinary species to..."

With a dotted line drawn on Raven's eyebrows, she slowly lay down on the operating table and said with a smile:
"It's okay, I'm already prepared."

The alchemy apprentice brought dozens of strange instruments, pushed them all to the operating table, aimed at Raven's upper skull, and slowly raised the saw blade.

呲吱~呲吱~呵吱~
The alchemist apprentice slowly sawed open the raven's skull along the dotted line above the eyebrows, holding a saw blade.

Raven watched helplessly as the skull was receding away from him, feeling like he had turned into a piece of wood, being slowly sawed into two pieces by an old carpenter.

Head hurts!
The endless pain reached his brain, making every muscle on Raven's body tense to the extreme, and the entire white cloth on the operating table was wet with the sweat from his body.

But until this situation, the raven still didn't utter a single cry, but instead sang leisurely:

"Lift your skull..."

The white cloth on the top of the operating table was wet with brains and blood from the raven's head.

The alchemy apprentice was not frightened by this situation. He took a deep breath and quickly covered a deep-sea human skull, which happened to coincide with the sawn-off part, and asked:
"Mr. Raven, are you alright?"

"continue."

"Yes, Mr. Raven."

The alchemy apprentice tightly held the needle and thread, stitching the new skull and the raven's head little by little.

When the suturing was completed, Raven immediately took out the silver quality potion from his bosom, and swallowed it in big gulps.

The powerful silver potion immediately begins to heal the new skull with the old one.

"Huh~huh~"

Raven panted heavily, straightened up suddenly, and said sharply:

"Bring me my skull!"

The alchemy apprentice trembled all over, and immediately handed over the skull on the equipment table to Raven.

Raven stood up with difficulty, walked slowly to the pool, and washed his skull gently and meticulously.

The flesh and blood on the inside of the skull was cleaned little by little, and a familiar pattern gradually emerged.

A pair of seven stars, like a spoon-like pattern...

Map of the Big Dipper!
Raven grinned and said:

"It's no wonder that the hair has an antenna-like effect, the daughters of the deep-sea system planted on humans..."

"It's just under our Tianling Cap!"
