Chapter 24: Suma: Come with me(1/2)
After everyone discussed it, the young knight found the receptionist again.
"Okay, fire crow monster meat, steel rhinoceros monster meat, bloodline stabilizing potion, explosive fighting spirit, 24 bronze-level cannons, 30 secret-keeping contracts..." The receptionist lowered his head and carefully recorded the knight boy's needs.
After a while, he raised his head and smiled: "It will take at least two days to transport the artillery. I think you can use this time to recruit sailors."
"That's what I planned too." The young knight nodded.
"Are you sure you want to put such a mark on the sail and flag?" the receptionist asked with a strange face.
"Of course." The young knight sighed, "You know, I am a knight, a knight of the empire."
"I understand." The receptionist nodded.
After sending the knight boy and Zong Ge away, he lowered his head and looked at the list he just recorded.
"Including the unlocking scrolls I acquired earlier, this group of people is richer than I expected."
"The only strange thing is that I actually purchased so many secret scrolls."
"Haha. Maybe he changed his career to become a pirate, but he is still very conflicted in his heart. This can be seen from his flag. According to his plan, he should go to the wilderness continent to strive for military exploits in exchange for a fiefdom. But he
I don’t want to give up this opportunity.”
The receptionist thought he understood the knight boy's true thoughts and shook his head with a smile.
He didn't care in his heart: "Only knights from the grassroots and common people would be so entangled. In fact, all nobles, no matter how down-and-out, know that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, and they will not have such a psychological barrier."
He also didn't know that the funds used by the young knight to purchase supplies this time were less than a quarter of the total capital in hand.
Although everyone has already discussed it, they will not make a one-time purchase because it would easily make the receptionist suspicious.
The recruitment of crew members is in progress.
The people hiding in the Deep Sea Monster quietly landed ashore, and then became sailors and pirates under the command of the knight boy.
This is also a carefully considered plan.
These days, hiding in the Strange Fish has made many people very emotional. They need to see the light of day again.
The Knight Boys need backbones to form a force, so recruiting all outsiders is not safe or reassuring.
After these people go through this level of operations, their identities are concealed and they can become active in front of the world again.
Two days later.
The new ship is moored quietly at the dock.
A group of recruited sailors lined up in a long queue, stepped onto the wooden ladder one by one, and walked onto the deck.
Zong Ge stood by the side of the ship with his arms folded, carefully examining these people.
"Sir Captain." An imperial oriental with a long beard and a sallow face nodded and bowed to Zong Ge.
Zong Ge was expressionless: "I am the first mate, not the captain. Name?"
"Xuma." Dongfang's middle-aged man chuckled, hunched over. He was thin and tall, taller than Zong Ge, but at this moment he was stooping so much that he almost knelt on the deck.
Zong Ge glanced up and down: "I heard you are a thief? Bronze level?"
"Hehe, petty theft, petty theft... can't compare to the big business of adults." Xuma said quickly.
"Watch your hands and don't let me find out you have done anything wrong on the boat."
"Of course, don't worry."
"Stand over there." Zong Ge shook his head slightly.
"Hey!" Xuma responded incessantly, acting very well-behaved.
Next, three fishermen came together.
"What's your name?" Zonge asked.
"Big head."
"Salted fish."
"Chicken feathers."
"Are they all fishermen from Crescent Town?" Zong Ge asked.
"Yes, sir." The three of them lowered their eyebrows.
Zong Ge glanced at the three of them, and then his eyes paused for a moment, stopping at the mouth of the big head's finger.
Zong Ge snorted coldly, and Datou's heart suddenly trembled, knowing that the identity of the pirate in the past had been discovered.
"It seems that you know what kind of business this ship is doing. Go and stand over there." Zong Ge raised his chin and gestured.
The three of them were photographed by the silver-level power of the half-orcs, bowed their heads and left.
Mu Ban boarded the deck, carrying some crude carpenter's tools behind him.
Zong Ge just thought it was the first time he saw Muban. He looked him up and down: "Do you know how to do carpentry?"
In fact, after Muban used the transformation potion, his appearance changed drastically from before, and he really needed to relearn it.
Muban quickly replied: "I know a little bit."
"Then go to the carpentry maintenance room and stay."
"Okay, sir."
Muban stood among the other sailors, and his special treatment immediately aroused the envious eyes of the people around him.
At this time, the sailors suddenly made a loud noise.
A little giant approached the new ship with long strides. His huge figure and ugly appearance made many people restless and panicked.
"What are you doing?!" Zong Ge shouted.
The little giant roared and glared at Zonge: "Will you accept me?"
Zonge hesitated for a moment: "Wait, I need to ask the captain for instructions."
The orc pretended to walk into the captain's cabin in the poop. Soon after, he returned to the deck and waved to the little giant: "Come up."
The little giant was overjoyed and laughed wildly: "Hahaha!"
Under the wary eyes of the sailors, he also stepped onto the deck.
"Get away!" he roared angrily, drove away the sailors, occupied a deck himself, then sat down, leaned on the side of the ship, and closed his eyes.
"Performing well." In the poop of the ship, the knight boy had a panoramic view of this scene.
The little giant is the big man.
He also used the transformation potion to change the color of his hair, and also installed a fake red copper horn on his forehead.
In order to differentiate him from his previous role in Pig Kiss, Fat Tongue personally taught him how to perform.
After training no less than a hundred times, I finally got this result, and it was worth the effort.
Bai Ya went on the deck, he was just ordinary, no one noticed him.
Fat Tongue also joined in. He is fat and considers himself a chef.
There are more and more people on the deck.
The sailors were whispering among themselves, and the most active one was Suma.
He talked everywhere.
He saw Bai Ya's embarrassment: "Young man, is this your first time on a pirate ship?"
Bai Ya's eyes widened: "Ah? Yes, yes."
"Hey, hey. Fuck with me and I'll protect you." Suma had already started to form a clique.
"ah?"
"Ah, what? One look at you and you tell me that it's your first time on the ship and you don't know the rules." Suma raised his head, "You can't survive on a pirate ship just by fighting and killing. You have to stand in the right place and find a good place.
Relationship. You are easily bullied when you are alone. Look at the few people over there."
Bai Ya looked away and heard Xu Ma's low voice: "The leader of them is called Datou, the one with a bad face is called Salted Fish, and the one with thick hair like a chicken coop is called Chicken Feather. The three of them stood together,
They were talking in private, and the clothes were similar, so they were obviously from the same group. They were the fishermen here. Look at that big head, there are calluses on the tiger's mouth, which is a sign of using a knife. His face was calm, and his eyes were not as erratic as the other two.
There are a lot of masts and gun ports, and he is very satisfied with this big ship. He must be an old pirate."
"Is that so?" Bai Ya was a little doubtful.
Xuma glared at Bai Ya: "If you don't believe me, just go and ask yourself."
Bai Ya was curious and went up to ask quietly. Da Tou snorted coldly and did not hide anything. The two people around him pretended to be intimidating. Because of Bai Ya's performance, they seemed to have established a psychological advantage and were no longer as nervous as before.
Bai Ya returned to the original place and said to Xuma with admiration: "Senior, your vision is really accurate."
Xuma sneered: "I'm telling you, I'm worried that you will be bullied. Everyone knows what this ship is for. Let me ask you, can you compete with these old pirates to divide the spoils in the future?"
Bai Ya shook his head.
Xuma asked again: "Even if they have never been pirates, can you fight three of them by yourself?"
