The Water Pig slave is the most important transaction item of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group.

The business was settled, and both the dragon boy and Zong Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, they returned to the dock to watch the ships.

The pier once became one of the main battlefields, but now it is in ruins and miserable.

There are many ships docked at the pier.

The origin of these ships is complex.

Some are from mercenary groups, some are from chambers of commerce, and some are pirate ships.

In the final stage of the melee, Huantong used the beam cannon to cause huge casualties to the enemy. Many pirates were wiped out, leaving many ships behind.

Some ships sank, but most were saved and towed ashore.

The degree of damage to the ships varies. Some can still sail, while others need major repairs. Some have broken keels, which need to be inspected and calculated. If the repair cost is too high, they should be abandoned and rebuilt or purchased.

The Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group is in great demand for seagoing ships.

During the melee, their ships basically stayed at the dock, unlike other mercenary groups or chambers of commerce's ships that all sailed out.

Of course, the result of the latter is not good either.

They were first intercepted by spell traps, and then fought fiercely with the Jealousy Pirates. During this period, they were stabbed in the back by Hutong, which was very miserable.

In any case, basically all the ships of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group suffered.

When they first came to Double Eye Island, the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group had 12 sea-going ships, including 2 medium-sized ships and the rest were small ships.

When resisting the beast tide, the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group lost 5 ships.

After the melee on Eye Island, only two boats survived and are still usable, and they are all small boats.

Fortunately, there are many unowned ships at the pier.

Before coming to trade with Huantong, the survivors had their sights set on the target.

The average market price of ordinary sea-going ships is 50 gold. The size of the ship affects the price, and the price of small ships is usually lower than that of medium-sized ships. The price of ships is also different in different maritime environments. At the same time, the structure of sea-going ships is also an important influencing factor. For example

The number of masts, sails, cargo hold size, number of guns, etc.

Huantong doesn't need these ships. Not only can he not use them, but he also has to pay a lot of money for repairs and maintenance.

In the previous melee, the patrol fleet's losses were relatively small.

One Eye's tactics are to bombard again and again.

There is an advantage to being cowardly, that is, it preserves the strength of one's own fleet.

The disadvantage is that one eye has almost no outstanding performance on the battlefield.

Huantong is not short of ships now, but what he is short of is money. He will try his best to sell these ships at a high price.

He smiled and talked eloquently, and his business talk was consistent and continuous without repetition, showing his true "bargaining strength".

The dragon boy and his group were large in number, but they were unable to withstand them.

Previously, Huantong sold water pig slaves cheaply, but it was due to Zidi's scheme.

If Zi Di were here now, she could still compete with Hutong, and Fat Tongue would be fine too.

But the current group of people is really no match for Huantong.

Zong Ge was silent, he understood that this was not a battlefield he was good at.

Menshi stared at it, astonished that Hutong, a cunning and insidious human nobleman, could be so eloquent.

Chi Lai was silent.

The young dragon man could only reluctantly go into battle in person, but without any surprise he fell into a disadvantage.

"Can I say a few words?" When the situation was difficult, Muban suddenly interrupted.

Seeing an ordinary person interjecting, Huantong felt confused and frowned slightly.

What is his identity?

He is gold-level and an imperial noble.

To be honest, talking about business with a silver-level mercenary like Longfu has already been a bit pricey, and now an ordinary person actually intervenes.

This is an offense.

But Huantong endured it.

If this was his person, he would definitely punish him severely on the spot.

He looked towards the dragon suit.

But the young dragon man's eyes lit up.

He has enough trust in Muban.

On the mysterious island, they experienced hardships together and fought against powerful enemies. They were comrades who could be trusted to support them!

"Tell me, what do you think?" The young dragon man supported Mu Ban.

Muban took a deep breath, spoke slightly nervously, and began to describe the shortcomings of each sea-going ship.

He is a senior carpenter and is good at making crossbows. He was not familiar with sea ships originally, but since he came out of the Mysterious Island, he has read many books about ships.

This information comes from the database of war traffickers and is very detailed and of high value.

Muban not only acquires this knowledge, but also puts it into action.

When the ship was sailing at sea, he also served as a repairman and repaired the ship.

Therefore, Muban is very familiar with the structure of ships.

"This type of rowing sailboat is a typical Tarida boat. Rowing means that the number of sailors must be larger, which brings pressure on transportation and supplies, and the endurance is difficult to compare with a real pure sailing boat."

"Although this ship has a poop, it is actually an improved version of the Nef ship. Initially, the Nef ship was a small coastal fishing and trading ship. Although this ship has been improved, the size has become larger, and the masts have been increased to three, but because

Flaws in the hull design make it very bulky.”

"This Cog boat does look nice. Look closely, it's made of oak and lapped, but it's too old. Look at the moss on the bottom and the shells attached. Even though it's in the melee

It hasn't suffered much damage, but it can only sail for a few years at most. Any strong winds and waves will damage its limited service life."

…

Huantong was speechless for a while.

Mu Banze became more and more confident as he spoke, and felt more and more accomplished in his heart: "One day, I can actually refute a gold-level imperial noble, a real lord in person?"

With Muban's help, the dragon boy finally secured his position in the price negotiation.

"Your group is really full of talents." Hutong smiled with deep meaning in his words, "At the same time, they are also very courageous!"

He had to admit that the ordinary man in front of him had certain talents.

But there are actually many talented ordinary people, and they all live at the bottom of society!

In this world of strong men, the primary factor that truly determines a person's status is the amount of personal power he controls.

As an ordinary person, Muban's ability to intervene on such an occasion can be said to be the highlight moment in an ordinary person's life.

The most important thing is that the young dragon man allowed him and gave him the opportunity and space to perform.

In the end, the dragon boy successfully bought 7 sea ships.

The two medium-sized ships are Dragon Boy and Zong Ge's ship respectively. The rest are 5 small ships.

It is not appropriate to blindly buy one type of boat.

There must be a match between ship types.

Just like the army is divided into arms, with long-range and close combat each performing their own duties and cooperating with each other. The same is true for maritime fleets.

Small ships are often fast and agile, large ships have more firepower and defense, and medium-sized ships are the backbone and more balanced.

The fleet of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group is not large. Buying big ships will slow down the speed, so medium-sized ships will suffice.

Another reason is that there are very few large boats for sale at the dock and they are not in good condition.

After negotiating the sale of seven sea ships, Huantong received hundreds of gold coins.

He still didn't want to finish, and still tried his best to sell: "There are many sea-going ships here, and I can't use them. Let's do this, Captain Longfu, the more ships you buy in the future, the greater the discount I will give you. For the eighth ship, you

You only need to pay 45 gold coins, and the ninth ship only needs 40 gold coins, and so on."

The dragon boy smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The remaining ships are very damaged. Even if we buy them, we still need to repair them."

"Including the cost of repairs, what's the difference between buying it at market price?"

Huntong laughed: "Don't your regiment have alchemy puppets? They can repair these ships."

The survivors once used basic repairmen to repair their own ships.

This information was leaked and collected by Huntong.

The dragon boy shook his head: "Driving these alchemy puppets requires mana, including maintenance materials."
