Vol 4 Chapter 120: Thief Ship (Part 2)

Remember [] in one second, to provide you with wonderful novel reading.
The clear blue sky and the uninterrupted Jewel River; the squeaking of the rickety deck in the cabin; the cold breeze blowing from the window, and the white linen curtains passing gently over the bed.
The blonde hair was scattered on the pillow, and the teenager lying on the bed had a quiet and lazy gaze, a pair of red pupils under the soft eyes, overlooking the sky outside the window.
"Sea water ... what are you asking?
... is an eternal question;
Sky ... what are you answering?
... is eternal silence. "
The pale-looking boy gently opened his bloodless lips and murmured; he slowly extended his right hand, and his pure eyes passed through the gap between the five fingers.
The clear blue seemed to be like his crystal clear heart, with a trace of hesitation ...
"Snapped!"
The expressionless black-haired wizard suddenly appeared, and the other hand closed the window directly.
"Dear Loren, you are finally back." Asriel lying in bed was not embarrassed at all. He smiled politely, and the childlike smile could melt the snow and ice: "I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
What does it mean to finally come back ... I have n’t left yet?
Resisting the urge to twitch at the corner of his mouth, Loren looked down and looked at the well-behaved teenager in bed: "It is clearly me who was seriously injured ... Why are you lying in bed?"
"Probably because ... there was no one on this bed at the time?" Asrell blinked: "And I feel that as your friend, I have a responsibility to give my dear Loren a warm blanket at any time."
For a moment, Loren wanted to strangle him very much, and then toss him to the Jewel River to kill him without leaving any traces.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in a bed warmed by a wicked god, let alone your vampire is clearly a cold-blooded animal." The black-haired wizard with his eyes twitched and his eyes rolled in disgust:
"Get off my bed now, immediately."
Asriel's face immediately showed an aggrieved expression, and the scarlet eyes and water spirits were about to cry.
The next second, he was carried by the dark-haired wizard, and the rag doll was thrown into the corner.
Ignoring pretending to be full of resentment, Ariel, who was seriously injured, now has to lie down and rest for a while even if she walks a little bit-even if Edward can't avoid it, even if he recovers faster than ordinary people , The penetrating injury that hurts the heart and lungs can't be just a blink of an eye.
Looking at the small cabin closed on all sides, the water on the table and a few pieces of food as dry bread ... these are the "meat ticket treatments" Loren received after he promised "Captain Black Sparrow" a tax of one million silver coins. ".
But if you look closely, you can find a lot of suspicious things-the door lock is not inside the door, but outside, and even the door shaft is stuck from the outside.
Footsteps from the aisle outside the cabin prove that at least five or six people are wandering outside at all times, and there are at least two people standing still outside the door. Only people have to change their meals every day when they eat and sleep;
Even under the only ventilated window, there were always people lying beside him, holding crossbows and short knives to eavesdrop-this kind of strict defense is not inferior to the Xia Mu courtyard.
Of course, this is also thanks to a teenager ... It was because Loren talked to him again and again, so that the thieves who eavesdropped outside felt feeling wrong again and again, but they finally returned because they could n’t find anyone to do nothing. Vigilant.
Even the things on his body were not bad. All was taken away by Captain Ed—not even the
caster
was left, leaving only himself with the clothes worn by the sailors.
So that "Captain Black Sparrow" Ed is not as stupid as it seems.
He is greedy but not stupid ... I am afraid that until now, he has not completely believed his words.
But it doesn't matter, because he is asking for himself, he wants a ransom of one million silver coins!
From coma to waking up, Loren noticed several things.
First of all, the place where they were found should be not far from the port of the imperial capital, but not very close;
Secondly, this "Captain Black Sparrow" is not secretly talking to himself about the ransom, but in front of all the sailors, he directly announced to them that he would get a million dollars from himself without even asking himself a word. ransom;
In the end, their accent and some small moves prove that they are native Sacrans, which is also very important!
The Chamber of Commerce in Golovin is not as strong as the free nobles of Eboden. It is impossible to support private soldiers and thieves at the foot of the imperial capital. They hire at most some temporary mercenaries and killers; so 80% of these thieves are true Thieves, it should have nothing to do with Ebden;
They came out of the port of the imperial capital, but there was not much cargo in the cabin. In addition to the busy sailors on the deck, there were actually free people to monitor themselves. Pirates at sea knew that they were doing smuggling business while looting, even if they It's just a group of "rivers", it's also very strange that empty ships leave the port;
And the abnormal behavior of the "Captain Black Sparrow" ... Loren used to be a servant of the Knights of Leonardo Turin, and had "communicating" with many bandit robbers; this kind of ransom thing is generally not And ca n’t tell his people.
Because once they made it clear, they had to give at least half of it to their people. This was only the "rule" of the bandits. When Loren was in Ebden, he had heard that the pirates going to sea were more strictly divided, and the captain had the most. Can only take 30%.
And if there are too many points, the sailors will probably not continue to kill him ... for a whole million, even if it is one percent, how can they still use this kind of knife to lick blood?
So unless this "Captain Black Sparrow" is really stupid, he will never announce the real ransom number.
In this case, there is only one explanation for this abnormal behavior of this guy-he intends to use this ransom to stimulate the morale of the sailors, make a large sum and then run away immediately!
His importance to him has changed from an unexpected fortune to a pie falling in the sky, which has become an unparalleled opportunity to make him rich overnight and even turn around his life!
He wanted to squeeze oil from himself ... even if there was not a million silver coins, he would have to wind up a windfall so that he could run away after landing.
That's why he was so excited after knowing that Loren's surname "Yode" ... The Yard Chamber of Commerce, which can compete with Ebden, is already famous on the Gem River; for this family, let alone one million silver coins, it is one. Millions of gold coins are just trivial.
"In other words ... what do you do if you meet Loren?"
Asriel, who was crouching in the corner, looked pitifully at the dark-haired wizard: "Really give them a million silver coins?"
"Um ... it depends."
"It depends?"
"Except for Golovin, there is no station for the Jorde Chamber of Commerce near the imperial capital; the nearest is also to the port led by the Prince of East Sakland-even if it is moving at full speed, it will take a day or two." Loren shrugged:
"A day or two ... Although it can't be fully recovered, at least it's actionable."
"So ..." Asrell tilted his head.
"So if they really abide by the agreement, it ’s okay to give them one million silver coins at that time-all the gold tickets are in the hands of Ain; but the Jodhpur Chamber of Commerce should have my record, as long as it takes some effort and one million is not difficult. . "
The dark-haired wizard on the bed looked at the teenager: "It doesn't matter if the identity is pierced by then ... they don't care about who I am, but whether I can get the money ... Of course, this is only a one-handed plan."
"Well ... if something happens." Asriel's scarlet pupil flashed ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The voice was soft and soft, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "They want more than money?"
"That one or two days are enough." Loren lowered his voice deliberately, with a gentle smile on his face:
"Enough for me to say nothing ... kill them all!"
"boom--!"
The moment the hatch was opened, the teenager with the corner of his mouth disappeared; the "Black Captain Sparrow" with a group of dog legs broke in, and the only remaining eye was staring at the dark-haired wizard, exuding endless greedy:
"My Excellency Isaac Yoder, I am here to tell you good news!"
"Oh ..." Loren smiled quietly: "What good news?"
When the words fell, the captain smiled happier, and even the dog legs behind him also looked excited:
"Our watchman has just seen a merchant ship from the German-Chinese Chamber of Commerce. You ... can go home!" Mobile phone users, please browse for a better reading experience.
