Being able to completely abandon face and dignity is not something ordinary people can do.
Especially when he saw the coldness well hidden in the other person's eyes, Wang Hao was even more sure that despite the respectful and humble behavior the other party was showing now, if he found the opportunity, he would definitely pounce on him and bite him.
It's quite interesting. If this guy gets a chance, he won't be an unknown person in the future.
Now Wang Hao has two choices. One is to insist on going to the governor, which will definitely crush him, but apart from breathing out a sigh of relief, there is no real benefit to him; the other is to temporarily let the other party go.
One horse may yield unexpected gains.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, let's just let it go."
This was Wang Hao's formal statement. Hearing this, Captain Lake breathed a sigh of relief and ordered people to remove the shackles from the former's body. Then he mounted his horse and ordered: "Close the team!"
The rest of the patrols left, but Hercules unexpectedly stayed. Captain Lake just blinked twice and didn't say much.
It wasn't until the patrol team walked away and the onlookers gradually dispersed that Hercules' face gradually became colder.
"Tell me, what do you want me to stay here specifically for?" Now that the matter has been resolved, he could have left directly, but the curiosity in his heart drove him to stay, and then he sneered, "I can't ask for money.
No."
This guy is also very good at changing his face. You can still see that he was trembling just a moment ago.
"We are all smart people, and I don't like beating around the bush. I said I was giving you money. Do you believe it?"
Wang Hao looked at the other party with a half-smile, as if he didn't see the other party's little plan. However, he said something unexpected.
Hercules' eyes suddenly started to twitch when he heard this. Then he smiled, stretched out his hands, and said, "I believe it. Bring it."
The other party's shamelessness and shamelessness were beyond Wang Hao's expectations. It was obvious that he wanted to get the benefits first regardless of what the other party said. As for whether he would listen to what he said later, it all depended on his mood.
"I can't trust you, finish what I tell you, and these one hundred gold coins will be yours."
Wang Hao said it truthfully. When dealing with such people, he will only suffer the consequences if he hides his words.
The reason why he temporarily decided to let the other party stay was because he took a fancy to the other party's bad character. Such people often have no bottom line in their actions. The latter dares to do things that ordinary people dare not do. As long as they pay a sufficient price.
Therefore, he decided to make a transaction with the other party.
When Hercules heard this, his expression finally returned to a bit of seriousness. How could a task worth a hundred gold be so easy to obtain?
The performance of the other party made Wang Hao's confidence in him a little stronger. If he was really the kind of person who gets dizzy when he hears a reward of one hundred gold coins, he would not feel comfortable trading with the other party.
"I want to visit several military strongholds in Hong Kong. I hope you can help."
Wang Hao did not make this request casually. In fact, after seeing signs of player activities at that military stronghold, he had been considering this aspect. The appearance of Hercules only provided an opportunity for this plan.
.
"Are you a spy sent by another country?"
With that said, Hercules took a step back and looked at Wang Hao warily. This was the first reaction of any local after hearing the news, "Do you think I am the kind of person who would betray the interests of my country?"
?" He stared at Wang Hao with a gloomy face, as if he would report him immediately if something was wrong with him.
"You are."
Wang Hao expressed his meaning clearly and unmistakably. It was as if he didn't see the corners of the other party's mouth twitching. He had used this hard-to-get method countless times, so naturally he would not be fooled by the other party's superficial signs.
Hercules' face froze, and he secretly blamed the other party for speaking too mercilessly, but as soon as he thought of the reward proposed by the other party, he resolutely suppressed these distracting thoughts, "Those military strongholds should speak out first and listen."
Although Hercules tried to look relaxed, Wang Hao could still tell that the other party was already moved, so he no longer concealed it and immediately revealed the coordinates of several ports in his mission.
He was not afraid that the other party would inform him. At least at this time, he had not done anything detrimental to Portugal's interests. More importantly, the other party did not have any evidence.
"I have never heard of any of these three strongholds. Either you are mistaken, or these three strongholds are very confidential."
After thinking carefully for a while, Hercules said with a somewhat unhappy expression, "It seems that this money is not easy to make."
"It should be right, there is a stronghold, I just entered it."
Wang Hao said without blinking that he had indeed been there, but he just wandered around the door and then turned back.
His words fully expressed two meanings. One was that the coordinates of the strongholds were correct, and the other was that he vaguely pointed out that even without the other party's help, he could still think of ways to approach these strongholds.
"...I might be able to ask the people who joined the patrol fleet for help, but these people have quite a big appetite. I think..."
After pondering for a long time, Hercules finally made a decision, but his words revealed that he thought the reward was too little, "You have to understand that if this matter is serious, it is treason. The risk is too great, so it is impossible not to pay for it."
It's possible."
"Two hundred gold coins, this is my bottom line." Seeing the other party still wanting to argue, Wang Hao said to himself: "No matter how much you spend, as long as you can do this, the rest will be left.
All the money you place is yours to keep."
After hearing this, Hercules began to think about which joints needed to be opened for this operation, which people must be involved, and which people could be omitted. He just made a rough calculation, and the final number was:
He was very excited. But there was still a look of embarrassment on his face, "This matter is difficult to handle. If you don't use money to feed who, I'm afraid I'll miss your important event!"
No matter what the strong man said, Wang Hao remained unmoved. Although he still had some money left, he was not someone who could be exploited by others. Naturally, he could not let the other party ask for high prices.
Seeing that the other party would not let go, Hercules had no choice but to show an expression of unwillingness to bear the loss, and gritted his teeth and agreed.
"One day, you only have one day. If the deadline is exceeded, our deal will automatically be invalidated." Wang Hao said in a deep voice. If he were not in a hurry, he would not make any deal with the other party.
"Oh my god, one day, this time is too short, it can't be done. It will take me a lot of time just to contact those people."
Hercules screamed strangely. He was not acting this time. In fact, the time given by Wang Hao was too tight, almost beyond his ability.
"Let's do this. I will pay 20 more gold coins for every hour you meet my requirements. Theoretically, as long as you can complete my requirements, you can get a reward of up to 680 gold coins. I think during this period
.There is no reward from any mission that can compare with it. Are you satisfied?"
Wang Hao decided to add fuel to the fire. As long as the other party could really do this, he would not hesitate to spend hundreds of gold coins. As long as he could get Billy Reis to take action, the pirate Kidd's matter would be almost the same.
After solving it, the reward he got was much more than these hundreds of gold coins.
Not to mention the reputation reward, the value of the items exploded by Pirate Kidd far exceeds this amount.
Hercules' breathing suddenly became rapid. After quickly weighing the gains and losses, he finally decided to do something big, "Okay, I will take this task!"
The two immediately exchanged contact information, and it was only then that Hercules finally knew the true identity of the yellow-skinned man in front of him.
"Haotian? It's you!" No wonder he always felt that the other person looked familiar, but he could never remember where he had seen him.
This is actually normal. Firstly, in the eyes of Europeans, all yellow-skinned people look the same. Secondly, Wang Hao's fame is mainly concentrated in the Nordic generation, to be precise, it refers to Britain, France and Germany.
The so-called European Three Stars, also known as the Nordic Three Stars during this period, were not really recognized by the entire European world. It was not until a series of melees in European countries that the former's name gradually became popular.
Therefore, in Portugal and other Mediterranean countries, Wang Hao is not too worried about someone recognizing him.
"OK, since you are also a celebrity, this matter will be easier to handle. I will leave first and let you know if I have news."
Sure enough, Hercules just complained in a low voice that Wang Hao was different from the people in the video, and did not show any exaggerated expressions. The video was just a video after all, and he had no personal experience with Wang Hao's strength.
For him now, Wang Hao is an ordinary expert, and has little to do with a top expert. He is now focused on how to complete the tasks assigned by Wang Hao, and even convey Wang Hao's identity back to the guild.
The interior was ignored by him intentionally or unintentionally.
It could be seen that Hercules was indeed very anxious. After the two signed the contract, he ran away into the distance.
Two minutes later, Hercules appeared in front of Wang Hao again. Just as he was astonishing the latter's efficiency, Hercules suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment.
"Well, can you advance some payment in advance?" Hercules currently has less than ten gold coins in his body, so this amount of money is naturally not enough.
"I'll give you 50 gold coins first and pay the rest later."
Because there is a system contract, Wang Hao is not afraid that the other party will take money and not do the work, so he gives it very simply.
The strong man nodded, took the money and turned around again. For him, every minute saved now means money. He will work hard to get this thing done without Wang Hao's supervision.
This unexpected episode suddenly made Wang Hao's work easier, but he was not someone who pinned all his hopes on others.
In the next few hours, Wang Hao went to two other military strongholds.
With the previous lesson in mind, he did not go deep this time. He just sat in the carriage, looked at the two military strongholds from a distance, then turned around and left.
It has to be said that the defenses of these three strongholds are indeed very tight. The surrounding terrain is open and there are almost no buildings to hide the body. Except for the garrison, only a handful of players can enter and exit.
There are dense patrols, one can be seen almost every 10 minutes.
At night, the four tall towers will turn on huge lights. They will patrol across the sky and illuminate the area below like daylight, with almost no blind spots.
The information sent by Hercules completely dispelled Wang Hao's plan of sneaking in alone. No wonder Billy Reis had not taken any action in this regard with his strength. It was probably because he had already tried it but failed.
Time passed by minute by second. Wang Hao's heart started to rise. Ten hours had passed since the negotiation with Hercules, but the latter had no other information except some fragmentary information.
Mark, this can't help but make him feel worried.
Did something go wrong here?
"Come quickly to the coordinates of XX and XXX."
Wang Hao, who was far less calm inside than on the surface, finally relaxed after receiving this news.
By the time he arrived at the designated coordinate point in a carriage, it was already dark.
Under the starlight in the sky, Wang Hao could faintly see that this place seemed to be an abandoned dock, and the surrounding ground was already covered with weeds.
Although he didn't understand the meaning of Hercules' move, he still asked the coachman to go back first, and then walked to the pier alone.
"This way, come here quickly!"
The light here was not very good. As soon as Wang Hao walked over, he saw a few sneaky black figures. If he hadn't heard that familiar voice, he might have been ready to draw his gun.
"This is Lieutenant Maurice of the Lisbon Second Patrol Fleet. Thank you to him today. Otherwise I..."
Hercules walked up eagerly and gave a brief introduction to the person behind him.
Wang Hao looked up and saw a total of three people on the opposite side. Except for Hercules, two of them were members of the navy patrol fleet.
"Hurry up. We don't have much time left." Second Lieutenant Maurice interrupted Hercules a little rudely. Originally, he didn't want to get involved in this matter, but in the end he was promised 50 by Hercules.
Impressed by a gold coin.
Isn't it just to visit a few strongholds? It's okay if they go there often. The most important thing is that as long as they are watching, that person can't do anything.
Lieutenant Maurice could only use this reason to constantly comfort himself.
"Get on the boat." Hercules was not dissatisfied at all and turned around and whispered to Wang Hao.
Then, a group of four people, including Wang Hao, walked towards the shore.
"By the way, can you swim?" Hercules suddenly turned around and asked as he patted his head.
"Yes." Wang Hao nodded.
"This is great. It can save a lot of trouble."
When Maurice heard this, he finally smiled. Swimming is not a rare skill. The main reason is that its application is too narrow, so not many people have learned it.
But this is one of the skills that regular naval soldiers must master, and Maurice and others will naturally know it.
"Pull forward with me later."
A group of four people walked to the seaside. The seawater had already reached their heels. The strong man said something and continued to move forward until the whole person was submerged in the seawater and his head was exposed. Then Wang Hao saw the other party and waved behind him.
Although Wang Hao didn't quite understand the intentions of these people, he had no way out at this time and had no choice but to swim over.
When he got closer, Wang Hao discovered that Hercules didn't know how to swim. He only had two balls of cotton balls stuffed in his nose, and he was holding a wooden board and being led forward by the three Maurices.
