Gu Shi took Shufeng and Bradley and slowly walked towards the seaside town.
From the few times he looked down from a high place just now, Gu Shi found that this small town could be said to be quite prosperous. Although the various buildings and facilities in the town were not as gorgeous as those in big cities, they were far superior to most towns.
As Gu Shi got closer to the town, more and more people came and went.
However, the people in the town did not pay much attention to an outsider like Gu Shi, who looked so different and led two magical beasts. It seemed that they were already accustomed to it.
Gu Shi wondered curiously, could it be that this town was a popular tourist attraction? That's why these people were so used to seeing outsiders?
After Gu Shi completely entered the town, the "tour guides" from other worlds who rushed over further confirmed this point.
Looking at the group of people in front of him who were chattering and trying hard to attract customers, Gu Shi casually called out a half-grown boy from among them.
"It's you, come with me."
The boy happily responded, "Yes, sir!"
Others have already made their choice when they look at it, so they shift their focus and look for the next potential customer.
After Gu Shi and the young man left the place, they found a place with few people and started talking.
The young man spoke first. "Hello, sir. My name is Henry, and I grew up here. I'm very familiar with this place, and I know all the news. What is it that you would like to know?"
However, the service provided by Henry is naturally not free. If you want to get the information you want, you have to pay the corresponding price.
Gu Shi was of course aware of this, so he did not speak at the first time. Instead, he took out a gold coin and threw it to Henry.
The gold coin drew a beautiful parabola in the air and fell straight in front of Henry. He stretched out his hand and caught the gold coin with quick eyes and hands.
Henry was almost blinded by the golden light. This was the first time he received such a large reward. He was so lucky today to meet such a generous customer who gave him a gold coin without asking anything.
Henry touched the gold coin lovingly, then put it away carefully and quickly. When he looked up again, a smile even brighter than before appeared on Henry's face.
He said eagerly, "Thank you, sir! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I will be happy to answer them."
Gu Shi nodded with satisfaction when he saw this scene. It was just a gold coin. If he could use money to exchange for Henry's wholehearted service, it would be a profitable deal for him.
"Take me to the best hotel here first, and then we can talk slowly."
"Okay, please follow me."
With Henry leading the way, Gu Shi arrived at a hotel without any obstruction.
Henry seemed to be very familiar with the owner of this hotel. After Gu Shi handed him the room fee, he quickly helped Gu Shi to complete all the procedures, booked a luxurious single room, and then attentively handed the key to Gu Shi.
"Sir, here are your keys, please keep them. I have a good relationship with the owner of this store, so he promised to give you a 10% discount. This is extra money."
Gu Shi waved his hand casually, "No need to return it. Since this money was saved by your connections, you can keep it."
"Thank you!" Henry happily accepted the unexpected income. Although it was only one-tenth of the rent, it was not a small amount for him. He was really lucky to meet this gentleman today.
"Your two magical beasts have been arranged. The room is on the third floor. I will take you there."
In order to capture the heart of the big money man, Henry now wishes he could carry Gu Shi upstairs himself.
The conditions of this hotel are good. After taking a quick look, Gu Shi was very satisfied with his room.
Now that they had arrived, it was time to get down to business. Gu Shi sat on the soft sofa and began to ask Henry who was standing in front of him questions.
"Is there anything special in the sea north of this town?"
According to the pointer, if Gu Shi continued to move forward, he would have to enter the vast ocean. He had never been out to sea before, so considering all factors, it was safer to get some information in advance.
Although the possibility of finding out useful information is low, it is better than doing nothing.
Henry thought for a moment. "The sea to the north? Do you mean Pearl Cliff?"
"Pearl Cliff?" Gu Shi repeated doubtfully.
Henry said in surprise, "You didn't know? So you didn't come here for this rally?"
Ninety-nine percent of the outsiders who came to their town during this period were there to attend the rally. Henry originally thought that Gu Shi was one of them, but who knew that he had no idea at all.
Before Gu Shi could ask, Henry took the initiative to explain, "There is a very famous cliff on the seabed far north of our town. It is the territory of the mermaids.
About three hundred years ago, a group of mermaids moved here and began to cultivate various types of pearls on the cliffs. Gradually, that place became known as Pearl Cliff.
“As for the gathering, it’s also related to the mermaids.
The mermaids cultivated a lot of pearls, but they couldn't use them all. To prevent the pearls from piling up, they held a gathering on the seabed near our town every three to five years to exchange the pearls.
The reason why our town is so lively is largely due to the Pearl Fair!"
Listening to Henry's story, Gu Shi subconsciously touched the deep-sea pearl hanging on his chest. This was something he had bought at an auction before, and it was also a specialty of the mermaid tribe.
"When is the gathering you mentioned?" If the time was right, Gu Shi would actually like to go shopping. It would also be nice to buy some pearls to take home as souvenirs to give to others.
Henry replied: "In five days, the Pearl Rally will last for ten days. There is no threshold for participation and everyone can participate.
I still recommend you to go and have a look. Although most of the pearls sold by the mermaids are ordinary pearls, they always have a few extra goodies, and you might find something that interests you.
Gu Shi smiled and said, "If it's really like what you said, it wouldn't be bad for me to stay here for a few more days."
Henry patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, everything I said is absolutely true."
Henry is sixteen years old. The last pearl gathering was held four years ago, and he has only been there once. However, he can guarantee on his reputation that what he just said is true.
After all, as the Pearl Gathering is approaching, most people who come here will inevitably ask for relevant information. In order to better deal with these guests, Henry did a lot of homework in advance.
