Although the slums of Stanbeck City are called slums, they are not cluttered or dirty, and the temple of the goddess of wealth and trade controls it, so it naturally does not make it a real ghetto. The word ghetto was just a way of referring to the place in the past, but it wasn't changed because the temple saved Franklin some face.

It's what the people of Steinbeck call 'the real business district'! Because here you can buy all kinds of things, slaves, potions, equipment, poisons, contraband, anyway, as long as you can afford it, someone will be able to find a way to get it for you!

From time to time on the neat road, someone with a broom to clean the already neat street, at the moment the time is noon, Fitztimeler found Richard's shop with a familiar road, this is a very ordinary appearance of a small warehouse, on this street looks very inconspicuous, but the people on this street know that the owner of this shop is not an ordinary person, because the people who enter the shop are all three and nine people, and over time everyone does not dare to underestimate this small warehouse.

"Fetztier, why are you here, you kid, the last batch was good, and the buyers are very satisfied. I said at the beginning, give your boy a chance, and you will definitely be able to become a rich man! Richard was sitting on a leather sofa at the moment, shirtless, with strong muscles, and each hand was holding a woman with a convex and backward curvy, beautiful face, holding small fruits in their hands, peeling off the shell, and holding them on their rosy lips, and passing into Richard's mouth, Richard chewed with great satisfaction, and a pair of big hands were wandering on the bodies of the two women.

Fetzgiller didn't look too much, his eyes looked directly at Richard, he was also very direct, it was not interesting to go around and around with people like Richard, simply put forward what he wanted, and then pay for it, this is the rule of doing business with Richard, he won't ask you why you want to buy this thing, you don't need to ask how he can get this thing, anyway, this thing can be handed over to you, then its previous owner will definitely not come to you to trouble, "Richard, is there a way to help me get a brig?" ”

"Brigs? I think about it, it's really not what I said, you're so lucky this dog, yesterday I really got a brig, a merchant couldn't sell it, and the debt was not paid, so he sold it to me, and I was worried about how to sell it. Here comes your boy. I'm not going to fool you, this ship is quite new and well maintained, fifteen hundred gold soles, this thing is yours! Richard thought for a moment and said. At present, there is no price fluctuation in the ships of Steinbeck City, and the price of fifteen hundred gold soles has nothing to do with the word expensive, and can even be said to be very cheap.

"You see that I am selling so sincerely, is there any news that I can reveal to my brother?" Richard was indeed shrewd, and knew what he wanted to do when he heard the strings, and Fetzgerer would suddenly want to buy a brig, there must be something, otherwise what was the use of this overland fellow for such a thing? Buy it back and collect it? Especially now when the waterway is not passable, he sells it so cheaply so that he can get an answer. After all, Fitzteler may be stupid, but he has recently been accompanied by a magician, which has to make Richard more vigilant.

"Okay, I know I can't hide it from you. The magician said that there might be some bad things in Steinbeck City recently, and he doesn't plan to get involved, so I suggest you also make some preparations depending on the situation. Fitzteler didn't say much, after all, this kind of thing always has a bit of alarmist flavor before it happens, and even some people with a heart can frame this as a rumor, Fitzteler doesn't plan to cause more trouble at this time, after all, Raphael has explained, these days can be as low-key as possible!

"Bad things?" Fezsterle really didn't say much, but the bad thing that even a magician was leaving was obviously not a trivial matter, after all, this magician was a man who could do something like an ogre!

"The ship has been given to you, and the paperwork is in the first drawer in the second column of the cabinet over there." Whether this news is accurate or not, but Richard also smelled some of it, and the magician's fears didn't seem unfounded, the ogre and the sea clan had been trapped in Stanbeck City for more than a month!

He didn't know a lot of things, but judging from the war reports that came, the situation in Steinbeck City was still very good, whether it was food, armaments, etc., black market merchants like them had always been keen to understand this aspect! No matter how you look at Steinbeck City, why would this magician think of leaving at this time?

"Okay." Fitztierer also received peace of mind, and what Richard said rarely had to be reversed. He wasn't afraid of Richard settling accounts with him.

"Is there something I don't know?" Richard thought about it, and had no intention of continuing to ** the two women beside him, got up and put on his robe, and he decided to prepare a little as well.

……

Fetztel came out of Richard's small warehouse, holding a pile of materials in his hand, the two of them didn't talk for long, nodded to the caravan guards, and several people hurriedly left the slum again, and when they returned to the inn, many of the goods in it had been moved out by the caravan guards, and he had already ordered these caravan guards to sort out before he went out, although the things he bought before were all lost, but there was still a market for these things to sell!

He knocked on Raphael's door first, and the ship was there, and he naturally wanted to report to Raphael.

"Come in." Raphael stopped what he was doing, and he rolled up a scroll and placed it in the corner of his desk.

"My lord, the ship is here, and Richard didn't take our Kingsol." Fitztel respectfully placed the documents in his hand on the table, and Raphael picked them up and checked them, all of which were information about the ship, such as the weight of the ship, the use of the cabin, what it was used for, the time of launching, the entry permit of some ports, and so on.

"Well done, you sell those goods. I went to the shipyard and it was a shame that this ship was used as a cargo ship! Raphael nodded slightly, pleased with the good news that Fitztimeler had brought back, and the ship was now docked in the dockyard east of Steinbeck.

"I'll come with you, my lord. I can just ask my caravan guards to sell those goods, and their ability to do so is still possible. Besides, the adults are not familiar enough with Steinbeck City, and the shipyards in some places not only charge high fees, but also use poor materials, I know that the adults don't want to easily reveal their identities, and I can negotiate with them when the time comes. Fezsterer thought about it and decided to stay with Raphael, firstly for safety, and secondly, he was indeed more familiar with the situation here.

"You just trust me like that? Don't you think I might be lying to you? Raphael found it amusing, this man had spoken ill of himself some time ago, and now he was so saddling.

"Because I feel that I can live with adults." Fiztierer didn't think about it and said directly.

"Interesting, if you can survive this time and join the Yunfield Chamber of Commerce, your future will definitely not be just the leader of a caravan." A businessman with qualifications, vision, and knowledge of judging the situation is more practical than Awani and others. After all, chamber guards are easy to find, but a practical caravan leader is not so easy.

"Swear to the death for your lordship!" Isn't Fitztier's dedication during this time for this sentence? A businessman who has no reliance, even if he has some ability, is difficult to get ahead, and in a place where this kind of force speaks, it would be good for retail investors like them to be able to mix with food and clothing. As for making a fortune, a chamber of commerce was formed. It's not his first year as a trader!

He wants to join the Chamber of Commerce, but there are more people than him, who will look up to him?

"Let's go." Raphael doesn't need to say much, this kind of person is not stupid, and he doesn't need to say everything clearly.

"Yes, my lord! I'll go and exchange all the gold sol I've earned this time for a money ticket at the temple later, so that it will be easier to carry. When the time comes, I will give all this money to the adults. Fitztimeler had put himself in the role at the moment. This is an act of loyalty by a merchant who wants to join the Chamber of Commerce.

"It's okay, you can keep all this money, as long as you can make money for the Chamber of Commerce seriously, you don't need these fictitious things." Raphael shook his head, not to mention that Fitztier's net worth Raphael really didn't look down on him, and secondly, he felt that this kind of practice was actually a little inhumane. Out of the inn, Awani and the others followed behind the two, because the caravan guards had all been sent out by Fizterle to sell things.

……

"The bottom of the ship is thickened, and steel armor is attached."

"Suffocate the oil."

"Underwater torpedo installation."

"Powder keg."

Raphael asked Awani and the others to drive the ship to a very dilapidated looking shipyard, and if it weren't for Fitzteler saying that it was a shipyard, Raphael would definitely think it was a place to collect rags. The people inside also looked very sloppy, their clothes were as if they hadn't been washed for days, and there was a strange smell on their bodies.

"Okay, these things are trivial." A little old man was writing on a piece of parchment in his hand.

"Is there a thrust device?"

"Yes."

"Can you improve the wind riding ability of the sails?"

"No problem!"

……

After a question, Raphael nodded with great satisfaction, his things were enough to turn this brig into a military brig! It is no wonder that Fitzsteller has such a high regard for this shipyard, and it is not for nothing that it is not unreasonable.

"A total of 43,586 gold soles, I can remove a few fractions for you, and forty-three thousand five hundred gold soles will do. At the same time, I will give you a little more weapon. The little old man did the math quickly, and said to Raphael, this price is not cheap, and it is not very expensive.

As soon as Fitztimeler was about to speak, Raphael motioned for him not to speak.

"I'll give you forty-five thousand gold soles, when will I be able to deliver them to me as soon as possible?" Raphael didn't really care about the difference between one or two thousand gold soles, as long as he could make them according to his needs, he could still accept the money.

"Hmm...... A day and a half. We'll do it for you overnight, you see if it's okay. It's the fastest, after all, you don't want us to make you a semi-finished product! The little old man looked at the ships moored in the shipyard, thought for a moment, and said.

"No problem, it's a deposit." Raphael took out two tickets worth 10,000 yuan from the storage ring, which Diana Mullen went to redeem before leaving, originally Raphael felt that there was a bit of a fuss, but now it seems that women are more careful.

"Okay." The little old man's dirty hand took the money ticket and nodded.

"The little ones, all fucking move, big list, don't embarrass Lao Tzu!" The little old man shouted very angrily.

……

Fitztel and the others looked at Raphael so generous, and they all felt bright for their future, they really had never seen a young nobleman who could casually throw out this amount of Kinsol, just like not money.

"Food, bedding, all these things have to be prepared. These things had to be loaded on as soon as the ship was launched. Raphael commanded as he walked.

"Oh, yes. Fitztier, let Richard help with the information on this ship, it's okay to pay some money, I don't want to check the ship when I'm in Perkin Harbor. Raphael thought of something important and hurriedly said.

"No problem. My lord. Fitzterer nodded.

"Are you all familiar with water?" This is still very important, if you bring a batch of landlubbers on board, it will be really dark! And now it is difficult to recruit any proper sailors, as far as Raphael knows, these sailors and crew members have been recruited by the city lord of Steinbeck City in the recent period, and the welfare benefits are very good, and all those who are able to earn this bucket of sols have been left, leaving behind some old, weak, sick and disabled, and they are useless.

"Many of my caravan guards grew up by the sea, so there shouldn't be any problem."

"We don't have a problem either."

Everything was carried out in an orderly manner under Raphael's arrangement.

……

The boat was launched a little earlier than the little old man had said, and money could make the devil grind, and the Kinsol that Rafael had cast out was not in vain! By the way, let the little old man help him train himself how to operate these subordinates, the little old man looked at the extra money tickets on hand, nodded warmly, and asked the boatmen under his hands to teach.

After all, these things are not like modern warships, which can be launched at the press of a few buttons, and they still need to be used by their subordinates.

On the sea, the modified ship floated quietly, Raphael paced on it and watched, the whole ship was very stable, the waves hit it did not make the ship shake any feeling, the facilities on the ship were completed according to their own ideas, several unfamiliar caravan guards carried boxes of goods into the cabin, these things included food, basic household items, and long-barreled muskets bought from Richard!

Everything is ready, and the next thing is to wait for the actions of the sea clan and the ogre, and Raphael feels that this time is not far off!
