Hearing this, Zheng Fei's fingers couldn't help but move, still looking ahead calmly, but his heart was surging.

How much money does this old guy have? If you can pull it all out by some means, the boat is coming.

Santiago put down the wide plank, Zheng Fei took Alonso and the butler up to the deck, came to the cabin and took out the stone-shaped ambergris, which had been taken out of the sperm whale's body a few days earlier.

Alonso came to inspect the goods, and if he was fooled by the fake ambergris, he would not only lose hundreds of thousands of silver coins, but also ruin his reputation and become the laughing stock of Barcelona.

Ambergris can only give off a unique aroma when it is ignited, and it cannot be smelled directly, and if you want to identify it from the appearance, you can only cut it and look at it.

Thirty kilograms of weight, Zheng Fei carried it from the cabin to the deck, took a breath and handed it to Alonso.

Alonso didn't reach out to take it, but took a puff on his pipe, squinted his eyes at the sea in the distance, and spat out a few wisps of smoke rings like clouds.

This kind of attitude of no one in his eyes made Zheng Fei very disgusted, just like a hot face sticking to a cold ass, nesting fire!

So he simply didn't care, put the ambergris directly on the deck, straightened up and confronted Alonso, Alonso smoked, and he drank.

I thought it would be like this, but Alonso squatted down, as if talking to himself: "That's right." ”

What a strange old man, Zheng Fei thought so, and watched him carefully observe the surface of ambergris with a magnifying glass, as if he was giving an antique palm.

Thinking of antiques, he suddenly understood why Alonso had that reaction just now.

There is a rule in the antique dealership, the buyer and the seller cannot touch the object at the same time, and the seller must first put the thing down before the buyer can get his hands on it, otherwise, who will it be if it is broken?

As a fragile treasure, ambergris is also traded in order to avoid conflicts.

"It's true on the surface, let me cut it open and see. As he spoke, Alonso raised his head to ask Zheng Fei's opinion, and after getting permission, he touched and pulled out a dagger from his waist, but was stopped by the butler when he was about to cut the knife, and then the butler whispered to him, he put the knife away, and said with a sly smile: "This captain, can you let your sailor cut it open?" ”

"Of course, Pete can get a knife to cut it!"

Zheng Fei knew what the old guy was thinking, in case the ambergris was cut open and found to be fake, the transaction was impossible, and it was a trivial matter to pay a little liquidated damages, the key was that the seller would definitely ask for compensation, and let the seller cut it himself to avoid this risk.

After a minute, Pete came out with the knife, and at this time Zheng Fei was chatting with Alonso, when he raised his eyes and casually caught a glimpse of the knife, he was suddenly startled and wanted to say something, hesitated for a moment and then swallowed it back.

England's Secret Treasure, the Eternal Sword.

He frowned, guessing that Alonso might not recognize the knife, and that it would be suspicious if he hastily put it away, so it would be better to take it easy.

He took a deep breath and watched as Pitley sliced through the whole piece of ambergris as he looked out of the corner of his eye to gauge Alonso's reaction, but fortunately nothing out of the ordinary.

The butler squatted down and picked up a small piece of ambergris and sniffed it, then put the whole piece on the scale and weighed it, and after careful discernment, he nodded to Alonso, who took a puff of his cigarette and waved his hand to the housekeeper to bring up two boxes of silver coins.

"It's been a pleasure working with you. He stretched out his hand to Zheng Fei and smiled, and there was an unpredictable meaning in his smile.

Zheng Fei shook hands with him, only to see that the family members had already pushed the silver coin box up to the deck, panting and wiping the beads of sweat from their foreheads.

"Santiago, count the numbers!"

The lid of the case was opened, and countless silver glittering coins lay in it, the seductive light that made everyone's necks stretch out, even Alonso, as the saying goes, the richer you are, the more you love money.

Looking a little depressed at Santiago's appearance, he complained and sat down next to the box, counting them one by one.

"Fuck!" Zheng Fei couldn't help but scold when he looked at his naΓ―ve appearance, and wanted to laugh while scolding, this guy really counts one by one?

"Use some brains, strong man! When are you going to count 150,000?"

Santiago looked confused and asked tentatively, "How do you count that?"

Zheng Fei was so amused by him that he couldn't hold it back, and beckoned to George with a smile, "You go and count!"

Originally, Alonso was waiting to see the joke, most of the large transactions in medieval Europe were bills, but Zheng Fei had to be cash, which made Alonso very unhappy, and wanted to see what he did with this large pile of silver coins, even if it was distributed to a dozen people, he would have to count a day.

However, the clever George surprised him.

George first counted a hundred silver coins, weighed them on the scale, and then poured them out in batches and weighed them, and after weighing, he did a division, and it took less than ten minutes to get the total amount of silver coins, a little less than 150,000, and the error was negligible.

Alonso's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he gave Zheng Fei a thumbs up and said, "Your subordinates are great." ”

"You're not bad. Zheng Fei gladly accepted his compliment.

Alonso raised his eyebrows, picked up his pipe to his lips and paused, then said, "Your knife is great too." ”

Zheng Fei chuckled in his heart, the smile on the corner of his mouth froze, and he pinched his fingers.

"I've heard a legend about the Knights of the Round Table, do you know the Knights of the Round Table? ”

"Oh, and then?" Zheng Fei decided to pretend.

"The earliest Knights of the Round Table obeyed an emperor who was called King Arthur, you must have heard of it?"

"Coincidentally, a friend I met in Algeria two years ago is also named Arthur, what did you say about King Arthur?"

"Alright boy, stop pretending to be stupid, make a price. Alonso read countless people, and he saw it very lightly.

Zheng Fei bit his lip, squeezed out a smile, and asked, "I don't understand, what do you want?"

"That knife, you already knew it was the Eternal Knife, right?"

"Huh, you want to buy it?"

"That's right, as long as I can get it, whatever you want. Alonso held a cigarette holder and smiled with a knife in his face.

Zheng Fei took a breath of hatred, looked at his arrogant appearance, and couldn't help but want to say, I want your daughter, can you give it? If you can exchange this knife for that stunner, the first beauty in the port of Barcelona, it is not impossible.

Anyway, it's holding back, why don't you say it and try it? What if it happens? Thinking of the seductive posture behind the curtain that night, he couldn't help but feel a little itchy.

"I want your daughter, is that okay?"
