Chapter 238 - Entry Fee

The shipwreck is sinking more and more slowly.

It's about to sink completely.

Xu Feng, who was standing on the shore of the port, couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for Captain Jack......

It would be a bit embarrassing if it fell into the sea.

And Captain Jack, who was standing on the mast, still had a calm expression.

When the boat sank completely, it also happened to arrive at the trestle, and Captain Jack lifted his foot and landed firmly on the trestle.

The boat behind him, even the mast, sank in the ocean and disappeared without a trace.

It's as if Captain Jack didn't come by boat, but by the waves.

Captain Jack walked gracefully towards the harbor with pompous movements, as if he were acting in a play that the aristocracy of the 17th century loved to watch.

His clumsy theatrical posture, coupled with his dirty appearance, clash with each other, which is extremely hilarious.

But Captain Jack is anything but a funny man, he's a true legend of the seas.

Feng took a deep breath and walked towards Captain Jack.

At this time, a harbor warden wearing a wool curly wig and a standard tuxedo hurried towards Captain Jack.

"Sir, please give your name and pay five silver coins to register your ship, or you will not be allowed to enter the port."

As a port, Port Royal was responsible for the berthing and resting of warships on the one hand, and the collection of fees for passing merchant ships on the other.

Small boats are moored once for five silver coins, medium ships are moored once for one gold coin, and large ships are moored once for five gold coins.

This kind of charge is actually not expensive.

After all, merchant ships have goods, and berthing fees are not worth mentioning at all for maritime merchants.

Captain Jack looked at the Administrator and then looked back at his "ship".

The mainmast is completely sunk, where is the ship?

Captain Jack grinned and spread his hands at the Administrator.

The administrator was shocked, this was the first time he had seen such a way of entering the customs.

Although the ship is gone, the money still has to be collected.

The caretaker stubbornly said, "Sir, your ship is considered to be in port anyway, and you must register your name with me." ”

Captain Jack fumbled in his pocket, pulled out three shiny silver coins with his dirty fingers, and placed them in the administrator's register.

"Why don't you do this, I'll give you these 3 silver coins, and we won't bother with ships and names, okay?"

The Administrator frowned and said, "You want to bribe me!" Hum! I'm the caretaker of Port Royal in the British Empire! Guardsman! Guardβ€”"

The administrator was about to shout loudly, when the figure of Xu Feng flashed over.

The administrator was startled, and the registration book in his hand did not hold it steadily, and fell to the ground, and the three silver coins on it also rolled to the ground, and fell into the water along the gap in the wooden planks of the trestle.

The muscles on Captain Jack's dirty face twitched slightly.

It hurts.

All his money was wasted.

It's all to blame...... This handsome young man in front of you!

Xu Feng first bowed politely to Captain Jack, and then said to the administrator, "I'll pay this gentleman's entry fee." ”

As he spoke, Xu Feng took out a golden gold coin and handed it to the administrator.

The Administrator's face was a little kinder, "...... However, you still have to register your name! ”

Xu Feng smiled and said, "I'll give you another gold coin, you don't have to look for it." ”

This is the Red Β· Β· of bribes!

The administrator said with a straight face, "...... Welcome to Port Royal! Mr. Smith! ”

With that, the caretaker closed the register and hurried to the direction of another boat with two gold coins.

Captain Jack said to Xu Feng in surprise, "Friend, why can you do it and I can't?" ”

Xu Feng smiled: "Captain, this is not a human problem, but your three silver coins, which are not as effective as my two gold coins." ”

Captain Jack suddenly realized, "It turns out that the administrator doesn't take money, but I don't give enough!" Speaking of which, my young friend, you still owe me three silver coins. ”

Captain Jack pointed to the gap in the plank.

Xu Feng smiled: "No problem, I will pay you back a gold coin." ”

Captain Jack nodded in satisfaction and reached out with his dirty hand.

The smell of his body was extremely unpleasant, as if he had never taken a bath, and his fingernails were full of dirty mud, which he couldn't bear to look at.

This is the true portrayal of pirates.

Ten pirates, nine don't like to be clean.

But that doesn't hide Captain Jack's charisma.

Xu Feng smiled faintly, "How can ordinary gold coins qualify?" I'll give you a special gold coin. ”

He finally got to know Captain Jack, and if he gave Captain Jack gold now, Captain Jack would be gone.

So, he had to hold on to it first.

Captain Jack shrugged, "...... All right. I hope you will keep your promise before I leave. ”

Xu Feng smiled and stretched out his hand, "Yes, Captain!" My name is Arthur. ”

Captain Jack grinned, a mouth full of bad teeth, "My name is Smith. ”

Xu Feng said with a smile: "This is a fake name. ”

"Mine too."

…… Terrible!

What a legendary captain!

Xu Feng secretly admired in his heart, and had nothing to say for a while.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ahem, Captain, what are you doing in Port Royal? ”

"As you can see, my young friend, my ship has sunk, and I need to grab a sturdy and durable clipper." Captain Jack said unabashedly.

Xu Feng was not surprised at all.

Pirates.

How can you be called a pirate without a ship?

It's as as a race car driver without a car.

Captain Jack narrowed his eyes slightly, "You don't seem surprised by that?" ”

Xu Feng smiled: "Maybe I can help you." ”

Now, it was Captain Jack's turn to be surprised.

"You want to help me? Why? ”

"I've long since gotten tired of the English Marines." Xu Feng shrugged.

Captain Jack laughed and said, "Heroes see the same thing!" ”

He looked around and was immediately attracted by the two wooden warships moored in the military port.

"What about those two?"

"Yes, it's worth getting."

"Is it better to be small or bigger?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Small. ”

"Why?"

"The speed of the small is fast, you really grab it, but the big one can't catch up." Xu Feng analyzed seriously: "The large tonnage is too heavy, and it takes at least a dozen sailors to handle it, and you obviously don't have that many people now. ”

Captain Jack smiled in surprise, "My young friend, I really want to recruit you as my first mate. ”

"It's an honor!" Xu Feng said with a smile.

Captain Jack rubbed his dirty hands, "Don't rush to say yes yet, wait until we get that clipper first!" ”

With that, Captain Jack walked towards the warship with a pompous gesture.
