Chapter 15: Goal, City Fernando! (3)
Sea Breeze City, the largest port city in the eastern part of the Eslar continent.
Seabreeze City has the best deep-water port on the entire continent, and a large fleet of ships comes and goes here all year round. Countless supplies, both legal and illegal, will be distributed here. Just take a little money, and who cares what you're shipping. Anyway, for Sea Breeze City, the basis of its survival is sea transportation, if it is too strict, won't it be difficult to get along with itself?
Another huge sea ship slowly sailed into the dock with the gentle sea breeze, and slowly leaned on the pier.
Hundreds of porters lined up and stepped onto the gangplank. Soon, they were carrying one big bag after another from the ship that had just entered the port. The large black pockets looked heavy, and each porter looked very struggling.
A foreman-like voice kept shouting beside the dock porter: "Hurry up, this batch of goods is waiting for others to be loaded." Everyone worked harder, and the owner promised to give everyone twice the salary. If you bastards don't move before dark, you're going to fucking die for me, not a single copper coin. ”
Under the threat of the foreman and the lure of gold coins, the dock porter seemed to go faster, and the small black pocket seemed to be less heavy.
In the captain's room of this sea ship, a burly man with an eyepatch on his right eye said angrily: "Head, we have made a lot of money this time." ”
The man called "Head" was about forty years old, he waved his hand and said, "Dieteb, although we sold this batch of goods for more than three times the purchase price, we didn't make a lot of money, don't forget the risk we take." You don't have to look at him as a fat guy for three times the price, but as long as he ships it back to his own territory, he can sell it for more than twenty times the price. ”
The burly man known as Dieteb was puzzled and said, "I think that our price is about to catch up with the robbery, how can that fat pige still sell for twenty times the price?"
There was a gleam in the eyes of the "head", and he said: "Quite simply, in his territory, only he himself can deal with this kind of goods. What is smuggling? It is necessary to take a huge risk, to avoid the arrest of the imperial navy, to avoid the black and black of other pirates, and to be swallowed up by the sea. These city lords can mainly use their mouths to seek profits that exceed our smuggling by several times or even dozens of times. ”
Diteb shook his head and said, "Head, the wind has been a bit tight lately, and many of our brothers in Seabreeze City have been caught. ”
The "head" said disdainfully: "Those idiots will only blackmail and intimidate." You go out at night, take out the lover of the city guard, strip naked, and throw it into the bed of his opponent, the fat tax collector. The guy in charge of the tax knows how to drink all day long, and he must be confused and confused. Then remember to inform the garrison officer on time, and watch the show when the time comes. ”
A smile appeared on Dieteb's face, he was looking forward to this good show in the evening, and muttered quietly: "It's still a while before it gets dark, I can't wait." ”
A skinny man pushed open the door to the captain's cabin and walked in.
"Head, you're playing this prank again. The new thin man heard the conversation between "Head" and Dieteb, and said dissatisfiedly.
Ditteb put away the yin smile on his face, and said nonchalantly to the thin man who had just walked into the captain's room, "Hey, Edward, don't always look sanctimonious. If you come up with an idea, it might be much more insidious than this. ”
The skinny Edward smiled and said, "Head, you hear me, Dieteb said that your idea was insidious. ”
Without waiting for the "head" to speak, Dieteb scolded loudly: "You guy with a bad stomach, Lao Tzu has fallen for you again." ”
The head waved his hand and said, "Alright, Edward, what are you here to tell me?"
"Hi head. Edward said, "The boring nobles of the imperial capital may really not have found anything to do, and they even issued a reward at this year's Royal Athletic Tournament." ”
"Oh?" and the "head" said, "What kind of reward?"
Edward shrugged his shoulders and said, "The winner of this year's Royal Athletic Tournament can choose one of three choices, the first is to serve in the army, the second is to get a piece of territory, and the third is for the emperor's guy to fulfill a wish. ”
Dieteb said disdainfully: "Who is rare!"
"Chief" said, "Don't speak, Dieteb, Edward, this guy with a bad stomach, must have come up with another plan to make us wow." ”
Edward had a smug smile on his face and said, "You still know me." That's what I thought. You see, if we go and win the championship, we'll be able to clear our hands. You arrange for a guy to serve in the army, and then spend some gold to get him to this Seabreeze City. When the time comes......"
No matter how stupid Diteb is, he knows, he said: "Isn't this Sea Breeze City our world at that time? ”
The "head" nodded and said, "This is indeed a good opportunity." But if we go deep into the imperial capital, will we be discovered?"
Edward said, "Head, you forgot about that Hawke guy, right?"
The head was reminded by Edward, remembering Hawke's unique stunt, and said: "It wasn't for you to remind me, I really almost forgot, Hawke, a big liar, is the best at makeup, last time he dressed up as an earl who came to the imperial capital, and deceived the confused tax collector of 2,000 gold coins." Well, he seems to have gone out to hide from the limelight, right? The portrait of him who is wanted is still posted at the city gate. Edward, you should send someone to find him at once, and Hawke should still be hiding in the castle he swindled from a marquis's widow?"
Edward said, "If he doesn't even have the ability to sneak into Seawind City, why talk about going to the imperial capital?"
The head nodded approvingly, and said to Dieteb, "Go and call Dodge too, he's a merry fellow who likes to chase those noble ladies the most." When the time comes, a few of us will go to the imperial capital, and it will be even better if we can seduce a few noble ladies through him and go through the path of some big people. ”
Dieteb asked, "Do you want to go now?"
He slapped Diteb on the head and said, "Don't worry about the garrison, we're going to the imperial capital to get those bigger people." ”
Edward smiled and said, "Yes, my lord." This time, we are going to turn this imperial capital upside down. ”
