Chapter 471: Destination!
Captain Charles asked, "How much can you give me?" ”
Xue Di said lightly: "How much money do you want?" ”
Captain Charles immediately said: "My original rent was 500, but since I am lucky, I need 1500 gold coins, otherwise, I will not go anywhere!" ”
Lin Hai on the side couldn't help frowning and said, "Captain Charles, you are simply sitting on the ground and starting the price!" Normally, shouldn't it be 1000 gold? Why do you want 500 more? ”
Charles grinned, "Because I'm lucky!" When you rent my boat, you enjoy my luck! If you don't give me 1,500 gold, you don't believe in my luck! ”
Emperor Xue said expressionlessly: "Okay, 1500 is 1500, Uncle Lin Hai, give him a deposit of 500 first, and then give him 1000 when the boat starts." ”
"Yes!" Lin Hai nodded helplessly.
Charles took the heavy bag of gold coins, and the whole person immediately smiled like a flower.
"Haha, I'm really lucky, I couldn't find this kind of thing with a lantern in the past, but now, someone actually took the initiative to send money to the door!"
The Snow Emperor said coldly: "Give you ten minutes, and after ten minutes, I will see you on your Julius Caesar." ”
Captain Charles grinned, "Don't worry, I still haven't earned 1,000 shadow energy points!" I'm so lucky now, and I'm going to cherish this opportunity! ”
Xue Di nodded slightly, and left Charles's room with Lin Hai.
Charles greedily touched the heavy gold coin purse, and then breathed a beautiful sigh of relief.
After getting dressed, Charles walked out of the room triumphantly, sweeping away his previous decadent appearance.
He walked over to the bar of the bar, slammed his fist on the table, and shouted, "Is there any sailor willing to go aboard Captain Charles's Julius Caesar?" ”
The sailors, who were drinking and having fun, fell silent.
It is normal for the captain to recruit sailors in the bar, many sailors of merchant ships are free sailors, and they can earn enough living expenses for more than half a year on a single voyage, and they will only find another ship to sail with them when the living expenses are spent.
Therefore, once there is a captain recruitment, the sailors will temporarily stop the noise and listen carefully to the captain's salary and requirements.
One of the sailors looked at Captain Charles and said with disdain on his face: "Captain Charles, wasn't your Julius Caesar attacked by Barbossa's pirate regiment three days ago?" ”
"Yes, we've all heard that half of your sailors are dead, and all your cargo is looted!"
"I heard that because you and Barbossa are fellow villagers, you were spared from death!"
"I say, Captain Charles, the name of your ship is unlucky! What is the Caesar the Great called? Julius Caesar was assassinated! ”
"You're so unlucky, who's going to be on your ship!"
The other sailors burst into laughter, the music went on, and the sound of clinking glasses and rolling dice was heard again.
Charles sneered and tapped his fist on the bar table again.
However, the sailors did not bother.
No one wants to follow a captain who has gone on a bad journey.
Annoyed, Charles grabbed his heavy bag of gold coins and slammed it on the bar.
The sound of gold coins crashing is more noticeable than the sound of banging on the bar with your fist.
Especially when the opening of the money bag is opened, revealing the golden coins inside.
The sailors all looked straight at each other, and the whole bar fell silent.
The bartender probe looked, "...... It's true! ”
The sailors all gasped.
Charles looked at the envious and surprised faces of those sailors, and his heart was suddenly full of pride.
"Originally, I thought I was unlucky. I was contracted by a Spanish merchant to deliver cigars back to the port of Seville for the Spaniards, only to be robbed by Barbossa's pirates before they could leave the Caribbean. ”
"The Spanish merchant fell to his death, his cigars were robbed, half of my sailors died in the fight, and I was almost killed."
"It was Barbossa, the pirate overlord of the seven seas, who heard my accent and knew that I was from his homeland, so I was spared death."
"Not only was I spared death, but I also brought back my Julius Caesar."
"I would like to ask all the sailors here, have you ever seen a captain who can escape from Barbossa's hands?"
The sailors present look at me, I look at you, and finally shook their heads.
Captain Charles said triumphantly: "I escaped from the hands of death, but you can tell me, am I unlucky or lucky?" ”
All the sailors present were stunned.
Indeed, from the point of view of life and death, there is no more fortunate captain than Charles.
He was supposed to die, but he didn't.
It was supposed to compensate the cargo owner for the loss, but it happened that the cargo owner was also on the ship, and the cargo owner was killed, so Captain Charles did not have to bear any responsibility for this.
Captain Charles looked around proudly, "I, I'm lucky, get on my ship and work for me, at least when I meet the strongest pirate Barbossa, I can rely on my identity as a fellow countryman to save your lives!" Now, there is a very fat errand, and the client has advanced me 500 gold coins, do you want to earn 500 gold coins? ”
The sailors all surrounded Captain Charles, and everyone made desperate gestures.
"Captain! I want to join! I am a veteran sailor with twelve years of experience! ”
"Captain! Please take me! You're so lucky, you can't go wrong with you! ”
"Haha! Julius Caesar, what a domineering name! As soon as you hear the name, you know how strong the captain is! ”
Captain Charles grinned: "Very good, don't worry, come one by one!" ”
…… After recruiting 30 sailors, Captain Charles went to the port with 30 sailors.
By this time, the Julius Caesar had been removed from the dock, and Captain Charles had paid the dockmaster 100 gold for the safekeeping, and then hurriedly boarded the ship with his sailors.
Emperor Xue and Lin Hai had been waiting for them on the ship for a long time.
"Captain Charles, you're late." Xue Di said expressionlessly.
Captain Charles grinned, "I'm sorry, it took a little time to recruit sailors, after all, I have to test their sailing skills, which is responsible for myself and for you both." ”
The Snow Emperor nodded slightly, "Okay, since it's all here, let's sail." ”
"Yes! Sail! Set sail! Captain Charles shouted energetically.
The sailors below immediately went into action, the helm of the helm, the sail of the sail.
Ten minutes later, the Julius Caesar slowly sailed out of the port of Saint-Martin and sailed out of the open sea.
Captain Charles smiled: "Two bosses, why didn't I see your cargo?" Did you forget to go in a hurry? Heck, if you forget, it will be troublesome, you need to pay two management fees and stamp duty in and out of the port. ”
Xue Di said lightly: "We don't have goods." ”
Captain Charles was stunned, "Then there is always a destination for this trip, right?" ”
Snow Emperor said lightly: "Well, this one does exist." ”
"Where is the destination?"
"Barbossa."
Captain Charles was stunned, "...... Sorry I didn't hear me, where? ”。
"Barbossa there." Emperor Xue said expressionlessly, "I want you to take me to Barbossa." ”
Captain Charles's legs went limp, "What's the joke!" ”
