Yearning for Pirates

Chapter 21 Buying Pictures
The area of ​​Scorpion Island is not very large. There are only two small towns on the entire island, one is called Michelle Town and the other is called Huafan Town.

The town of Mitchell is where the clown Bucky bought the treasure map, and it is also known as the "tumor area".

The people living here do almost all kinds of crimes, stealing, defrauding, dilapidated houses and messy streets.

Huafan Town is a different scene. People here love life, the streets are thriving, flowers are everywhere, and people's faces are full of happiness.

The strangest thing is that the people in these two small towns never interfere with each other, just like people living on two islands.

The two small towns were blocked by a tall and thick city wall, and they couldn't see each other, and no one wanted to try to cross them.

Each town has its own port, and you can dock at whichever town you want to go to.

Hill didn't understand the system on the island.

Cooby pushed Hill onto the pier and sank to the bottom of the sea.

When I came to find the source of the treasure map, Hill naturally couldn't wear navy clothes blatantly. Hill took off the navy uniform and put it on his arm in turn. When he went ashore, he found that it was like a retirement resort with a harmonious atmosphere. , laughter everywhere, the air is also unusually fresh, people will greet you warmly.

After walking several streets, Hill didn't see any treasure map sellers, so he found a coffee shop, and Hill walked in.

The boss is a middle-aged man, neatly dressed, with a curly hair combed back.

"Excuse me, has anyone sold treasure maps around here?"

As soon as Hill asked, the middle-aged man looked at Hill with angry and discriminatory eyes.

"You are not welcome here, sir, please leave Huafan Town." Then he got up and opened the door, signaling Hill to go out.

"Huafan Town?" Hill was kicked out before he understood the situation.

Hill asked many more people, and everyone would change from smiling to disgusting in an instant.

An old man named Harlan, a cleaner, stopped Hill, "This gentleman, come with me."

Although Harlan's clothes were patched, they were also unusually clean.

Hill was brought to a remote street. Harlan looked around cautiously and explained: "There are two small towns on this island. The one you are looking for to sell treasure maps should be the town of Michelle. The other side of the city wall." He said, pointing to the towering city wall in the distance.

As soon as Hill came ashore, he saw the huge city wall, and he was a little curious. Only now did he know that it was used to separate the two small towns.

"If I want to go to the town of Mitchell, do I have to jump over that wall?" Hill asked.

Harlan looked at Hill incredulously, "Are you crazy? Living from there will offend the Lord God."

Hill frowned, "Lord God?"

"Yes, Lord God who controls this island." Harun continued to explain: "That city wall is the territory of the Lord God. No one can climb it, or they will be punished by the Lord God."

The main purpose of Hill's coming here was to look up the treasure map, and he didn't ask any more about the city wall. "Then how can I get to the town of Michelle?"

Harlan pointed to the pier and said, "Go out from the pier, turn half a circle, and go to the island from the pier in Michelle Town."

Hill glanced at the city wall, thanked Harlan, and came to the pier to call for Kubi.

Kubi came quickly and sent Hill to the pier on the other side.

It is better to say that it is a dump than a pier, and there is almost no place to step down.

Hill got off the boat and walked towards the town. Compared with Huafan Town, here is a heaven and an underground. People don't have the enthusiasm of Huafan Town, and they all look at Hill with smirks.

"Brother, come to the store for a drink."

"Brother, do you want to buy a knife?"

Hill walked over to the two young men with tattoos, "Is there anyone selling treasure maps here?"

"Treasure map?" The young man took a look at Hill, "Hey, go east from here, the fifth house is Peak's house that sells treasure maps."

"Thanks." Hill walked towards the house pointed by the young man, completely ignoring the laughter behind him.

"See? Another fool."

"I really envy Peake. There are so many idiots who buy treasure maps. I should have known that I would also sell treasure maps."

Hill came to the fifth house. There were many holes in the door of the house, as if it had been smashed by someone. "Is there anyone? I'm here to buy a treasure map?"

After a long time, a middle-aged man who was drunk, staggered, and hunched over called Pick came out, "Do you want to buy a treasure map?"

Hill nodded.

Peake opened the dilapidated door and let Hill enter the house.

The inside of the house was just as dirty and messy as the outside, with debris piled up everywhere, "Where do you want the treasure map from?"

"Do you have treasure maps of many places?"

Peak sat on the chair and took two sips of wine, "I have all the treasure maps in the world."

Hill obviously didn't believe Pique's words, "How dare you say such big words?"

"believe it or not."

Hill recalled the treasure map of Peter Al written on the treasure map that Bucky the Clown took out, and asked, "Do you have Peter Hale's treasure map here?"

Peake burped, "Hi... You really found the right person. I really have the treasure map of that place. Wait a minute, I'll look for it."

After finishing speaking, Peake rummaged through all kinds of piled items in the house. Hill looked casually, a little disgusted, flies were flying all over the room, leftovers were everywhere, and there was already a stench, empty wine bottles, fruit peels and other garbage Filled the whole house.

Peake searched for a long time, and finally turned out a somewhat old parchment treasure map, and handed it to Hill, "Here, this is Peter Ayer's treasure map."

Just as Hill was about to take it, Pique withdrew his hand again, "One hundred thousand Baileys."

"Can't it be cheaper?"

"I can't." Pique refused nonchalantly, as if he liked to buy or not.

Hill casually dug out a stack of money from his pocket and handed it to Peake. Peake excitedly handed the treasure map to Hill, took the money, and counted it carefully.

Spreading out the treasure map, Hill took a closer look, and it was exactly the same as the treasure map in the hands of Bucky the Clown. The parchment felt very old and had been handed down for a long time, but it was just a sign painted on the treasure map. But it's different from Bucky's treasure map, it's like drawing whatever pirate flag comes to mind.

"Are there any other treasure maps?" Hill asked.

Pique raised his head with a smile, "Yes, how many do you want?"

Hill took out two more stacks of money and gave them to Peake, "Give me two more."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Pique went to rummage in the garbage dump again.

After searching for a long time, I finally found two different ones and handed them to Hill.

Hill took the treasure map and looked at it again, but his expression became more and more serious, "How many treasure maps do you have here?"

Pique thought for a while, felt a little dizzy, tapped his head, and finally confirmed: "There are 68 kinds."

Hill was startled, and stared at Pique with a bad expression, "Where did you get these treasure maps?"
