Chapter 966 I contracted this fish pond (49)
The big ship turned around and left the port, and many fishing boats coming and going stopped to watch.
The ship had once been the largest ship in the port, and now it was gone and the whole town knew about it.
Including the mayor.
During this time, he was irritable and depressed because his financial path was cut off.
The fishing team in the town belongs to him. In order to catch the legendary mermaid, he spent fifteen years and spent countless manpower and material resources. Finally, some time ago, the fishing team went into the sea and caught the mermaid. Unexpectedly, he was visited. Within three days, it was stolen.
He sent guards to search house to house for so long, and he also searched all fishing boats and merchant ships, but he still couldn't find any trace of the mermaid.
I could have collected dozens or even hundreds of gold coins per day.
Now it's all in vain.
He suspected that the mermaid had been released into the sea.
Maybe he will never encounter this magical creature again!
Although he got all the treasures he wanted from the mermaid.
But he is not satisfied.
He had plundered all the treasures from the mermaid, but he hadn't squeezed all the value out of the mermaid, so how could he be willing to do so.
The fishing team has gone to sea again, heading to the place where the mermaid was caught before, and continues to search.
The fishing team just left today.
The story of the pirate Hu En sailing away from the island soon reached his ears.
"What? He left? Who asked him to leave?"
The guard captain spoke.
"He is not a resident of this island. If he leaves, we have nothing to do with him."
"What about his tavern? If you open it here, you have to listen to me!"
"The tavern is closed. I heard from people around that Hu En's daughter came back some time ago, and the father and daughter left the island together."
The mayor sat up and asked casually.
"Did he pay his taxes?"
"I paid it, including his daughter's share." "Well, if that guy wants to come back again, double his taxes and let him come and leave whenever he wants."
The guard captain nodded.
"By the way, the fishing team should be near Dongqi Sea now. Do you need me to bring someone to pick it up?"
"Don't worry, we'll talk about it in two days."
As he said that, the mayor narrowed his eyes slightly and lay comfortably on the soft blanket. Then he raised his hand and pinched a small amount of light purple powder in a jar beside the table. He carefully put it into his mouth and connected it. Mix the two fingers together in your mouth until all the powder is licked clean before taking your fingers out.
This scene is truly nauseating to watch.
But the guard captain stared at the small jar with his eyes open and swallowed subconsciously.
The mayor laughed when he saw him like this.
"Want some too?"
"My subordinates dare not."
"Haha... This is a powder made from mermaid scales. Eating it can prolong your life. Don't you want to eat it?"
Looking at the mayor's narrow and dark eyes, the guard captain quickly shook his head firmly.
"My subordinates don't deserve such good things, so naturally I don't dare to think about it."
"Hmph! You are so brave and dare not even think about who is not afraid of death and dares to steal my mermaid!"
The mayor was angry again.
The captain lowered his head silently, listening to this increasingly manic and irritable scolding voice. He habitually kept his hands close to his sides to minimize his sense of presence.
Wait until the mayor is tired of scolding.
He can leave.
While silent, I couldn't help but think about it in my mind.
The mermaid is really a mysterious species. Maybe God released him.
