Chapter 18: Util

In the end, Zhang Yun didn't use the New Year's fireworks, because the billowing smoke was very eye-catching on the cliff. The people on the ship spotted it right away and saw Zhang Yun waving his hands constantly.
They drove the boat to the beach closest to the cliff and raised thick smoke to signal Zhang Yun to follow him.
Zhang Yun prepared a little, and took the Murloc team and the elves back into the entourage space, leaving only Brother Zun by his side, and at the same time put away Brother Zun's weapons.
After all, Zhang Yun hasn't figured out the details of this world, and he doesn't know how much human beings accept other creatures. In case the other party doesn't believe in the profession of summoners, or doesn't think there are elves and murlocs in this world...
That would be troublesome.
Soon, Zhang Yun and Brother Zun came to the group of people.
"Friends, did you have a shipwreck and drifted to this island?"
Fortunately, the automatic translation in the game has not been eliminated, and I can understand what the other party says...
Zhang Yun immediately replied: "Yes, we floated on the sea for a long time and arrived on this island without knowing it."
The leader of the other party was a greasy fat man, looking at the pot belly, dressed more gorgeously than the others, and was guarded by a few powerful young men. He should be a big boss doing sea business.
He said: "That's really unfortunate..."
After a pause, he said again: "Our ship’s destination is Bentsona, but it will stop at midway for replenishment. The location is on Lolo Island, which is about two days away from here. You can take our ship to Lolo. Los Angeles, and then wait there for other ships to take you back to where you want to go."
"If your destination is near Bantesona, you can follow us directly to Bantesona and get off there."
Uh?
So direct?
Zhang Yun was a little confused, but didn't show it. Instead, she pretended to be embarrassed and said, "But sir, we two have no money with us because of the shipwreck..."
"Oh, no money, you just need to help with something on the boat."
The fat businessman continued: "By the way, you probably haven't eaten for a few days on the island? I still have some bread on the boat. You can eat some first and take a moment."
"Carter, you go to the kitchen and get some food for these two gentlemen."
"Okay, boss, go right away." The man called Carter raised his hand, responded, and trot back to the boat.
All this happened in just three seconds. After the fat boss finished speaking in one breath, Carter also ran fast, giving Zhang Yun no chance to refuse.
That one……
I'm not hungry at all...
I just gnawed a drumstick not long ago...
The fat boss didn't see the strangeness on Zhang Yun's face, but continued to arrange: "Two gentlemen, there are a lot of monsters on the wild island nearby, all of them are quite powerful."
"We still don't stay here for a long time, lest we be attacked by them. Get on the boat first and be safer on board. Then we will talk slowly."
Zhang Yun: "..."
Not!
Is this wrong?
Isn’t it all about interrogating the victims carefully on TV?
So just put it on the boat?
Are you not afraid that we are an undercover agent sent by a pirate?
Could it be that they themselves are pirates or human traffickers...
However, when they boarded the ship, the group of people did not show a ferocious look, but instead returned to their jobs and cooperated with the employees who had stayed on the ship before spreading the mainsail and restarting the ship.
In this way, Zhang Yun and Brother Zun didn't figure out anything, and didn't explain their origins, they were invited on the boat by the fat boss and his men, and they also ate sweet bread and warm milk.
"Uh……"
"What the is going on..."
Zhang Yun was very puzzled, so she used her inheritance skill "insight" to carefully look at all the people on the ship, and based on the information given in the profile, she found that they were indeed not bad guys.
Among them, the fat boss is called "Robert". He is a sea freight forwarder. His main business covers three areas. First, he transports the local products of Bantesona to a city called Rand, and then the silk from Rand. On an island called Tris, the wine of Tris was finally shipped back to Bantesona.
He has more than 30 employees, most of whom are sailors in charge of sailing ships, as well as basic personnel such as cooks and repairmen.
The remaining small part is combat personnel, consisting of five magicians of level 20 or so, a priest of level 17 and 3 melees of level 25 or so.
Carter who gave the bread is the leader. His personal level is 27, his profession is a melee swordsman, and his professional rank and specific data show question marks, but the temperament he exudes should not be too low.
In addition, there are also a few people on board with inexplicable profiles, such as third-rate painters and big pig farmers.
After thinking about it carefully, it should be the passengers who took the boat to Bentsona — the crew transported a few more people at the same time to make some extra money, which is normal.
After that, Zhang Yun was full and had a good chat with Robert and the crew.
He collected some intelligence, learned part of the information about this world, and also figured out the reason why this group of people let themselves on board directly.
In fact, this world is not the background of the "Lost Kingdom". All countries and place names are different from those in the game, but the species that exist are strange and weird, and there are all kinds of them, including the little murloc and the light ball version of the elemental spirit .
If Zhang Yun wants to summon all the entourages in the "Lost Country", there is basically no problem, and no one will be surprised by the unknown species.
Unless it is a hundred-meter-level behemoth like Xielong Jinli...
As for the detailed information about the world, Zhang Yun didn't dare to ask in detail, because it would seem strange to herself, and she didn't even know some common sense things.
So he only figured out a few points.
First: This is the territory of the Kingdom of Alberia, including Bantesona, Tris, and Rand, all of which are its cities, and this sea area is also its territory.
Second: People like Zhang Yun with black hair and black eyes are not uncommon. On the contrary, they are everywhere. They all come from Eastern countries, so the people on board are not surprised by Zhang Yun's appearance.
Third: This sea area is very large and dangerous, not only with pirates, but also powerful monsters lurking under the sea.
Although they seldom attack large human ships, they are not afraid of ten thousand or just in case, so Robert recruited five powerful magicians on the ship to him.
Fourth: I’m going to be a good boy. Fortunately, I explored the island first. If I didn’t explore at that time, I would build a small wooden boat to drift with the flow on the first day. Now the cliff will waste resurrection coins and dragon diamonds...
As for Robert's reason for letting Zhang Yun go directly on board.
First of all, Robert is a person engaged in marine transportation. He travels back and forth across the ocean all year round. It can be said that he has pressed half of his head into the sea, and he may be hit by a tsunami.
Therefore, he is very superstitious, or he has faith, he is extremely pious to the "Goddess of the Sea Siren", and abides by the maritime doctrines she has laid down---save everyone who can meet in trouble, so that he will Under the shelter of the sea goddess, you will never encounter danger.
Secondly, Robert is a kind man, he often helps the homeless by giving them food and shelter.
And Carter, the bread-sending guy, obviously has a powerful strength of level 27, but he is obedient to such a greasy fat man. It is also because he has been so loyal to Robert's favor since he was a child.
If it weren't for Robert's relief, Carter, the orphan, would have starved to death on the street. How could he become a swordsman like he is now and the captain of the battle team on this ship?
Therefore, it is normal for Robert to let Zhang Yun board the ship. When he is another victim, he will decisively dock the ship and save others' lives.
In addition, there is another reason...Everyone who works on the ship knows that accidents can come at any time, and it is impossible to be smooth sailing forever.
And if you save a victim today, maybe tomorrow when you are in trouble, the person you saved will find you in a boat, and then save you back.
Even if it is not him, it is possible that other people who have been rescued run into you and rescue you.
Saving others is equal to saving oneself. This sentence is a truth many people believe in in the Kingdom of Albania.
What's more, many people are willing to repay their gratitude. If you bring others home, you may be grateful, and then give you a gold mine in return. Then you will make a lot of money?
Therefore, most of the captains will give orders to save people when they encounter the victims, unless there is no way, such as there are powerful sea creatures, or the food on the ship is completely insufficient...
As for pirates.
This group of guys is indeed a bit annoying, but they are not the kind of short-sighted people who like to kill chickens and get eggs. They will not rob all of them every time they rob, but rob a part, which is regarded as a "toll fee" paid by merchant ships.
Seeing that they swayed at sea all day and got rid of a lot of monsters who like to attack ships, many merchant ships chose not to resist, and paid tolls if they should pay tolls.
These pirates also have a more conscientious one. After you pay the money, we will follow you around for a day and you.
So in a strict sense, these pirates are not pirates in the traditional sense, but mercenaries organized by the people themselves. They are just "special mercenaries" who will forcefully protect you.
Therefore, Robert and others are not very afraid of pirates, so they did not interrogate Zhang Yun carefully. Anyway, the ones who should come will come...
After figuring out the reason, Zhang Yun was relieved, and no longer doubted these kind people, especially the fat boss Robert who seemed extremely obscene...
At night, Zhang Yun and Brother Zun obeyed Robert's arrangement and lived in the damp cabin.
Although the environment here is not very good, it can be considered to be able to live in. After all, other places are for employees and other people on the boat. They can't get in. If they don't live here, they have to go to the deck to blow cold and whistle. The sea breeze is gone.
In this way, Zhang Yun spent another peaceful night in another world, and nothing happened all night.
On the second day, Robert arranged some tasks for Zhang Yun and Brother Zun, which were basically chores such as sweeping the floor, organizing the dining table, and washing dishes, without any difficulty.
He and Brother Zun completed these things step by step, and also did some extra things, such as helping the sailor lift things, tie the rope, etc., instantly shortening their relationship with the people on board.
When it was time for the meal, the chef on the ship cooked a rich lunch with the food preserved by the frozen magic, and then gathered people who weren’t working at this time to enjoy it.
Zhang Yun followed them, eating the plain-tasting meat steak, listening to them talking about all sorts of miscellaneous things, absorbing the information and intelligence.
It's a pity that these people are either talking about the three great aunts and eight great uncles, or talking about women of various styles. There is nothing useful in the topic.
In desperation, Zhang Yun gave up eavesdropping and directly joined the topic, consciously guiding them to talk about things in the world, especially those of high-level professionals.
Talking about this, the group of professionals became interested and immediately joined the topic.
They can blow each other better than the other. Why is the older brother next door, a high-level archer, who shot five monsters in the head with one arrow...
Or my uncle, a high-level magician, accidentally discovered the location of the underground organization, and took the other's secret base alone...
Even more outrageous, he said that his ancestor was a super warrior, and he once tore a dragon...
But there are also normal speeches.
"It's not that there are no top powerhouses who can achieve one enemy and one hundred, but very few."
"Most high-level professionals are not as good as they might think. Although they are outstanding, they will still fall into a disadvantage under the siege of an organized and disciplined army."
"When encountering some powerful monsters, they can't defeat each other on their own. They must rely on the abilities of their companions and cooperate to defeat the monsters."
"The magician can easily defeat hundreds of people, but the trigger conditions are too harsh. Ordinary people will never stand in a pile on purpose and let the magician attack himself with magic."
"Moreover, magicians' physical fitness is generally weak, and their reflexes are no different from ordinary people. If someone is close to them, even an ordinary person with no career will have a chance to kill a high-level magician by sneak attack..."
It was a man sitting in the corner. His name was "Util". He was plainly dressed, handsome in appearance, and thin in stature. He was out of tune with the muscular men who were shirtless and smashing ale.
Hearing Util's words, Zhang Yun couldn't help but became interested in him, and found that this guy did not show up yesterday, nor did he read his information.
He quickly used "Insight" to scan Util's information.

I rely on!
what is this?
All question marks? Even grade and occupation are question marks? Can't detect it?
And this strange introduction is simpler than my own "Lonely Summoner", only six words, it is definitely the shortest introduction ever...
Zhang Yun became more curious. He sat directly next to Util, picked up a glass of ale, toasted him, and asked: "Friend, have a drink?"
Util shook his head apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry, I don't drink, I will be allergic."
After listening, Zhang Yun put down the wine glass and asked: "Just now you said that the powerful monsters can't be singled out even by high-level professionals. You must rely on many people to help you have a chance to defeat the opponent."
"I want to ask."
"Night Wolf and Gale Bird, two monsters, are they considered powerful monsters?"
