Chapter 10 Inspection
The chaotic footsteps sounded from far to near, as if several people were walking towards the cabin together. Ksmerd and the sailor looked at each other, and both of them saw a certain fear in each other's eyes. Then, they moved almost at the same time, leaned down and moved, and in the blink of an eye, they curled up in that corner. As for the candlestick held by the sailor, the next moment after the two of them had hidden themselves, they were extinguished by the sailor.
In the darkness where he could not see his fingers, Ksmerd and the sailor held their breath and kept their attention to the movement of the footsteps. At the same time, Ksmerd and the sailor also heard the voices of several people talking mixed with the footsteps.
"In another two or three hours, we will arrive at the port of Jiva Trace at dusk. You two will now go in and check all the goods for me to see if there is anything wrong. After many theoretical and practical evidence, Mr. Barthel's eternal dream is absolutely trustworthy, and in general, there will be no problems. If something goes wrong, it is mostly due to your negligence. Do you understand?" The person who said this was obviously a man of a certain age, his voice was a little old and his tone was majestic.
"I understand! We understand!" The two men replied at the same time, their voices almost completely overlapped. Then, one of the men continued, "Boss, don't worry, everything is covered by Bruce! This last moment is checked by Bruce, plus my help from the side, and there will be no mistake! Bruce uses his head to guarantee it!"
"Yes, Bill also used his head to ensure that this batch of goods will be intact and steadily sent to the dock of Jiva Trainze under his careful inspection and supervision." Another person was not willing to be outdone and said quickly.
"Okay, okay! If there are any small mistakes in this batch of goods, you can still afford it. At most, you and I will lose all your money! What I fear most is that if there is a big mess that cannot be cleaned up, then I can't afford it, and you can't afford it! At that time, our heads will be lost!" When he said this, the messy footsteps disappeared, and the three of them seemed to have walked outside the cabin door and stood together.
After the man's words paused, they continued to ring, "But, under the combined effect of Eternal Dreamland and us, the chance of capsizing in the gutter is almost zero. Therefore, as long as you are more serious, you will not make any mistakes. You will go in and check it carefully later, and after the inspection, I will be honest in front of the door of this cabin. Remember, without my permission, you can't even put a fly in it! As long as this batch of goods is delivered to the shore and no problems are allowed to be found by the people above, we have completed the task, then, at that time, each of us will be rewarded. It is hard to say that you two will receive more rewards because of the final careful inspection!"
"Haha, boss, Bill and I listen to you, we will definitely get serious!"
"Bruce is right, we will never be careless!"
Then, Bill and Bruce said a lot of words flattering their boss. Their boss left here with a laugh.
A sound of footsteps quickly disappeared from near to far, and soon disappeared into the hearing of Kersmerd and the sailor.
As for Bill and Bruce, after their boss left, they pushed open the hatch door and walked into the dark cabin one by one.
As the two of them came in, they were two candlesticks, held in their hands. The candlelight emitted a dim and scattered light, piercing the darkness that was invisible to the cabin.
Under the dim light of the candle, the sailor and Ksmerd, who were in the corner of the cabin, could vaguely see the appearance of the two people coming in.
The two of them were tall and short. The tall one had small eyes, a bridge of nose and a tuft of goatee on their chin. The short one had not big eyes, and the nose seemed to collapse. There was a circle of beard around their mouths. Although the two had obvious differences in height, with a half-head gap, they both had very strong figures.
"What the boss said just now made us feel like we had a heavy responsibility, and at the same time, it seemed like we had picked up some cheaper. Bruce, do you think we will get more rewards after this time?" said the taller man, and took a few steps away from the hatch, and then placed the candlestick in his hand on the top of a box.
Bruce, the shorter man, quickly closed the cabin door, looked at Bill, and smiled and said, "I can't be sure of this, I hope so! What I can be sure of is that we lost the most money in gambling today, so we were penniless, and then we lost the opportunity to sit at the bow of the boat, drinking and eating meat while blowing the sea breeze, and guarding in this dark and broken place."
"We were free to drink and eat meat while blowing the sea breeze, but in the eyes of those bastards, they were only worth eleven dinars, which really forced us into a desperate situation. Unless we are the god of gambling in Sagos, how could we turn over with eleven dinars? It's really bullying!" Bill spread his hands, raised them from both sides of his body over his head, and walked back and forth with exaggerated steps, as if he was going to dance some funny dance.
"Forget it, let's accept our fate! Come on, let's check the goods quickly, then leave here and go outside. I really don't want to suffocate myself to death in this darkness!" Bruce said impatiently.
"Okay! Let's start! In fact, this is a good opportunity for us to witness the greatness of eternal dreamland with our own eyes!" Bill said, then walked to a box and squatted down.
"It would be even better if you can experience it yourself, isn't it?" Bruce walked behind Bill with the candlestick and smiled.
"I dare not expect this!" Bill shook his head and refused, and his hands were stroking the surface of the box continuously, as if he was in a certain hesitation.
"Are you scared?" Bruce suddenly restrained his smile and his tone seemed to become serious.
"No, I'm probably just a little distracted! Mr. Barlett's eternal dream is a bit incredible, and the box specially made by Carpenter Pipano is also very clever. Come on! Dinar is about to present it to you, Bruce, you just need to imagine that they are all yours!" Before Bill was slightly excited, his hands and ten fingers were pressed heavily on the right edge of the lower half of the box wall, and then he pushed the ten fingers together.
With his pressing and pulling, the lower two-thirds of the box wall was separated from the upper one-third of the box wall, and was opened by Bill like a door.
The things contained in the box were presented without any concealment after the wall of the box was completely opened.
Ksmerd and the sailor in the right rear corner of Bill and Bruce not only clearly saw the process of Bill unboxing, but also clearly saw what appeared in the box.
After seeing the things in the box, Ksmerd was struck by lightning, and was stunned and fell into extreme fear.
