Chapter 470: A person's decision can be changed
Emperor Xue took Lin Hai to the port.
A dockmaster with a wide-brimmed sunhat greeted him, "Hey, you're on the wrong side, this is a merchant port, and the passenger ship dock is on the other side!" ”
Xue Di said lightly: "That's right, we're here to rent a boat." ”
The dock keeper was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile on his face: "It turned out to be the big boss!" Disrespectful, disrespectful! I wonder what kind of boat you two want to rent? ”
"Fast, sturdy, and preferably with a captain and sailor." Xue Di said briefly.
The dockmaster laughed: "It's simple, we have twenty or thirty fast and sturdy ships moored in the port of St. Martin!" Captains and sailors are also very rich, but in terms of price, they may be a little more expensive. ”
Lin Hai asked, "What price?" ”
The dockmaster said: "The minimum rent of the boat is 1000 gold coins per month, if there are special requirements, you have to add extra money, of course, before renting the boat, you have to pay 10% of the terminal management service fee and stamp duty, etc., a total of 130 gold coins." ”
This amount is definitely a huge amount of money for ordinary people, but for Emperor Xue, it is nothing at all.
Just now, Xu Feng had already given her a start-up capital of 3,000 gold coins.
Although Xue Di wanted to refuse, he finally accepted it.
The Snow Emperor asked, "Are there any ships that have been in contact with pirates recently?" ”
The dockmaster was stunned for a moment, "You're talking about a ship that won't be lucky, right?" Don't worry, I won't introduce you to a ship that has been unlucky with pirates recently. ”
Xue Di said expressionlessly: "How much is the rent of the ship with bad luck?" ”
The dockmaster sneered, "You dare to rent a ship with bad luck?" Aren't you afraid that all the money will go down the drain? Did you even lose your life? ”
Emperor Xue said coldly: "This is my own business. ”
The dockmaster shrugged, "Okay, now ...... want"
He looked down at the ship register in his hand, and then said with a smile: "There really is such a ship - the Julius Caesar." The ship had encountered the Barbossa pirate ship three days earlier, and all the cargo had been sacked, and if it weren't for the fact that the captain and Barbossa were fellow countrymen, the Julius Caesar would have been sunk long ago. The rent of this ship is not expensive, 500 gold coins a month is enough, but ...... The captain was already frightened and would not go to sea anytime soon. ”
Emperor Xue said lightly: "Okay, that's it." ”
The dockmaster hurriedly said: "Wait, I just said, the captain was frightened, he will not go to sea in a short time." ”
The Snow Emperor said coldly: "You don't have to worry about it, you just need to arrange the release of the Julius Caesar." ”
The dockmaster shrugged, "Of course, just give the money." ”
Emperor Xue glanced at Lin Hai, and Lin Hai immediately handed over the dock management fee of 130 gold coins to the dock administrator.
The dockmaster said happily: "I'm going to arrange the preparations for the voyage, oh yes, the captain of the Julius Caesar is in the fire bar of St. Martin, and the captain's name seems to be ...... Wait for me to check it out. ”
The dockmaster flipped through the thick register, glanced at it, and said, "Here - Abbot Charles." ”
"Okay, got it." The Snow Emperor turned and walked in the direction of the town.
The Agni Bar is easy to find, just near the pier and is dedicated to the crew.
It was full of alcohol, the floor was full of filthy vomit, and no one had cleaned it for days and nights.
The bar was full of smoky miasma, and it was full of drunken drunks.
There are also bar girls who are shuttled among the drunkards, dressed coolly, but with average looks and figures.
In this kind of place, it is difficult to find high-quality goods.
Lin Hai whispered: "Snow Emperor, I'll go to this kind of place." ”
Emperor Xue said expressionlessly: "No." ”
She walked straight in the direction of the bar.
The bartender glanced at the terrifying scarred face of the Snow Emperor, and then said in disgust: "Where did you come from, ugly bastard!" Hurry up and get out of my bar! so as not to disturb the appetite of my guests. ”
Xue Di said coldly: "I inquire about a person, Abbot Charles. ”
The bartender ignored Emperor Xue's question, and directly took out a dagger and stuck it on the bar in front of him, "Get out!" ”
The Snow Emperor glanced down and found that the bar was densely covered with traces of blades.
Obviously, this is not the first time that this bartender has intimidated someone.
But this is also easy to understand, after all, the sailor's bar is mixed, and as a bartender who manages the bar, I am afraid that it will not be able to support it if I am not hard.
Xue Di took out a gold coin with a blank face and threw it on the bar.
The bartender's eyes lit up, and he put down his dagger to get the gold coin.
The Snow Emperor quickly grabbed the dagger and slammed the back of the bartender's hand into the bar.
The bartender screamed in pain.
A few strong men drinking at the bar stood up with a snort.
The Snow Emperor showed his Thunder Sword, turned around and said coldly: "Look for the dead!" ”
How did those strong men stand up and sit down, they didn't even have the courage to raise their eyes and take a look.
The bartender said bitterly, "Spare your life!" Spare your life! ”
Emperor Xue said coldly: "I asked you a question, but you haven't answered me yet, and you can't make a request until I get an answer." ”
As he spoke, the Snow Emperor thrust the handle of the knife again.
The bartender hissed in pain, "I say! I say! Captain Abbot Charles, on the second floor, room 203. ”
The Snow Emperor pulled out his dagger and said coldly: "The gold coin rewarded you for healing your wounds." ”
With that, he ignored the bartender who was trembling with fear on his face, and went straight up the stairs to the second floor.
After finding room 203, Xue Di kicked the door open.
The people in the room got up from the bed with sleepy eyes, "...... Who? ”
The Snow Emperor asked coldly, "Abbot Charles?" ”
"Yes, but who are you? It's rude for you to break in like this! The decadent middle-aged balding man frowned in protest.
Emperor Xue said coldly: "You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know, I came to rent your ship and gave me ten minutes, and within ten minutes, I will see you on the Julius Caesar." ”
"Wait!" Captain Charles frowned and said, "Didn't the dockmaster tell you that I have no plans to go to sea recently?" ”
Xue Di said coldly: "The dockmaster did tell me, but a person's decision can be changed. ”
Captain Charles sneered, "To tell you the truth, I met pirates at sea and escaped by luck, and I am in a period of bad luck now, when a captain is unlucky, he will pit the whole ship!" If you hire my ship and go to sea, aren't you afraid of bad luck? ”
The Snow Emperor said coldly: "You met a pirate, the pirate let you go, you are not unlucky, but lucky, after all, you survived, very few captains can survive after the pirate attack, isn't it?" ”。
Captain Charles was stunned, scratched his head and said, "...... So, am I lucky? ”
"That's right." The Snow Emperor said coldly: "However, if you meet me and don't do what I ask, then you will be unlucky." ”
