The opening kaleidoscope writing wheel eye: the war on the top

Chapter 414 Reward Order

"That's because the king didn't know the news at first. It was Jaka who took the initiative to besiege the city. Oh, Jaka is the adjutant of the Guards of the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Crocodile sent someone to deliver a letter to the king, and the king immediately ordered the withdrawal of the troops, and afterwards issued a reward order to Crocodile. "

Hanan and the others looked at each other, with a hint of strangeness in their eyes. Although they had heard that Crocodile was very prestigious, they did not expect it to be to such an extent that even the king could not compare to him.

Hicks was elated, and continued to praise: "If it wasn't for Crocodile's efforts to turn the tide, 'Nahana' would have run out of water, and I would definitely not be able to do this business, and I probably wouldn't be able to see you."

Jessica retorted: “I don’t think the credit belongs entirely to Crocodile, right?

The king would rather let his confidant suffer from a new base than ruthlessly eradicate it. If you want to thank him, you should thank the king even more, right?And Crocodile may not necessarily have good intentions! "

Hicks' face was very ugly and he said: "What do you know, little girl? I'm fine with what I said before, how can you slander the great hero of Alabasta! I'm not willing to earn your money!"

After all, he walked away in a huff, seemingly very angry.

Hanan hurriedly stopped him, told him not to be angry, and said a few more words to Jessica, and Clabattle also tried to persuade him, and finally let Hicks sit down again.

Jessica was originally worried about Princess Weiwei, but as seen today, almost everyone has a lot of trust in Crocodile.

Even blind worship, coupled with extreme dissatisfaction with this profiteer Hicks, also breeds anger in his heart.

"Hanan, I'm sleepy, I'm going back to rest first, if you have any important news, just let me know later!" After speaking, Jessica left without looking back.

"Hey, Boss Hicks laughed at me," Hanan apologized, "She's just so forthright, so don't take offense."

After all, Hicks is old, and he doesn't want to know the same as the little girl, and said: "It's okay, it's okay!"

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased and there was no possibility of doing anything, Ajin went back to his seat and sat down, but he still looked warily at Hicks.

"Brother Yu Nan, if there is anything else you want to know, just ask. The price is negotiable, but don't say bad things about our country's heroes again!"

Hanan quickly agreed, thought for a while, and then asked Hicks: "Isn't the Cattleya you just said a neutral place? Why do I hear that there are still some wars over there?"

"The so-called neutral land is limited to the city of Katriya itself and its surrounding areas, but its adjacent towns are not within the range, and the rebel army has difficulty in supplying them. Whether it is weapons or food, they are very scarce. They must send troops to rob. .

Of course, SAR Nahana is an exception. "

Hanan said, "Then how should we go to Katriya?"

"I just said that if I want to go now, I can only go through the desert area. Although the distance is not far, I can arrive in the same day, but there is no guide who is familiar with the terrain. If you are unlucky, it is easy to get lost. There may even be a risk of life.”

Hanan heard him say it very seriously, and it should be true, "Then does the boss have a familiar and reliable guide?"

Hicks suddenly slapped his thigh and laughed heartily: "What a coincidence, I happen to be going to Catrea tomorrow to deliver goods. If Brother Yu Nan is willing, and the cost of leading the way, hehe, if you don't mind too much, you can Let’s go together.”

"Oh? What a coincidence!" Hanan stared at Hicks for a long time before saying, "Since that's the case, if you don't bother two masters with one thing, there will be Boss Hicks."

"Good talk good talk!"

After the major matter was finalized, Yu Nan paid for some more information, mainly about the situation in the Kingdom of Alabasta, and finally asked about the general situation of the 'Rainland'.

Hicks answered almost all of them, and explained in detail, which made Hanan understand a lot of things.

It was late at night, and the three of Hanan bid farewell to Hicks and returned to their residence. Jessica was still waiting for them.

As soon as Hanan sat down, Jessica said in a low voice, "Hanan, I've been thinking about it for a long time, there must be something wrong with Hicks!"

Clabatel still had something to discuss with Hanan, so he didn't go back and listened: "That's right, this Hicks is indeed weird, he seems to be very interested in us, I guess he already knows our identities.

What's more, what a coincidence, he happened to be going to Catrea as well! "

"What?" Jessica left just now, not knowing that she would be traveling with Hicks tomorrow.

Hanan hurriedly told her the itinerary, Jessica was even more skeptical.

Seeing that his partners had doubts, Hanan persuaded softly: "The boss' plan is not yet apparent, and from the current point of view, it seems that there is no hostility. Although the asking price is not low, he did give very important information. You get what you pay for, no injustice!"

He suddenly changed the subject: "Observe him more, if it's really bad for us, it's better to keep him by our side."

Hanan smiled at Clabatel again: "Chief of Staff, you are the best at judging people. You might as well communicate with him more tomorrow."

Several people discussed for a while, and went back to their rooms to rest.

Yu Nan lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time. His mind was filled with the scene of Crocodile killing the pirates and those weird headless mummies.

On the second day, just after dawn, Ah Jin woke up his companions. Except for the party last night, the others did not know that the itinerary had changed. Hanan simply said that everyone went to prepare by themselves.

The 'Great Eagle' is still docked at the port of Nahana. Although Hicks said that this place is very safe and can even send someone to help take care of it, Krabattel did not believe him. After discussing with Hanan, he planned to let Jessica and Carmen Also stay, but Jessica is firmly opposed.

Coincidentally, Qiao suddenly felt unwell, not only chest tightness, shortness of breath, general fatigue, but also slight nausea and abdominal pain.

Based on these symptoms, Harvey probably had a guess. After the inspection, it turned out that Joe was not acclimated to the environment. Everyone was surprised. Although Elf Joe looked relatively thin, his physical fitness was outstanding.

Harvey had diagnosed the cause, too.

Elves are close to the living substances in nature, especially plants such as trees and flowers. Joe, who is an elf, is no exception, and is more suitable for places with lush vegetation and sufficient water.

The climate and environment of Alabasta are just the opposite. Except for the oasis, there are almost no plants. There are sand dunes and deserts everywhere, even in the oasis.

Most of the vegetation is dry and drought tolerant. In addition to the severe drought in the past few years, there has been no rain. The weather is drier and hotter, and there are few water molecules in the air.
