Chapter 197: Cartoonists at Work
The speedboat quickly approached this seemingly large city, in fact, this is already a large city, the main reason is that Issinger is too big, everyone sees other cities and feels like a rural area! The speedboat was not attacked by the port artillery, the United States and China are not hostile in the game setting, and the shore defense batteries will not automatically attack Chinese ships. It would be different if the Japanese port system was wrong!-0x000000008, 112619180 The two countries are hostile, and the coastal defense artillery of all system cities will automatically attack the ships of the other country.
When our speedboat entered the harbor, we found that it was mostly small boats, and it seemed that there was no fleet stationed in the harbor, which was beneficial for our landing. After going ashore, I first observed the style of the port, the architecture here is very different from China, it looks like a port during the Columbian voyage, all wooden structure. Probably because it's not an important port!
After we went ashore, the speedboat returned to the fleet first, anyway, we could fly back by ourselves at such a distance, and besides, the carrier pigeon was still slipping in Su Mei's hand, so there was nothing to do with the pigeon.
Because it's night, there are very few people in the harbor, not only are the players sleeping, but even there are very few NPCs. I was going to talk to an NPC, but we just left the trestle when we suddenly heard the sound of a bullet hitting the ground with a "ping-pong".
A group of guys dressed like western cow cubs jumped down the steps above the harbor. The guy in the lead was holding a handful of oddly shaped things, and the thing was still smoking. This thing is supposed to be a gun, but the shape is really a bit weird, and the main feature is that it is relatively large. Judging by his one-handed use, this is supposed to be a pistol, but it is almost as large as a machine gun, and it is made of a mixture of wood and metal.
"Isn't that a gun?" asked True Red in a whisper.
Su Mei said: "It looks like a fire gun, and it's very old-fashioned!"
"You guys?" the guy who shot pointed at us with the weapon he didn't know what it was, "Where did you come from?"
This guy speaks English, but our translation system is already open. "Can we ask you who you are?" said Rose.
"I'm the sheriff here. Who are you?"
"Sheriff?" everyone was stunned.
Su Mei shouted, "It's the captain of the City Patrol!"
Everyone has reacted to this, and the United States is really quite different from ours.
I stood up and said, "That's right, we're a caravan from the East. ”
The self-proclaimed sheriff didn't let me finish his sentence and said arrogantly, "Caravan, I think you look like pirates." ”
He's talking nonsense, but we do occasionally work part-time as pirates, and we certainly can't admit it now. "How can we be pirates? You see I'm a child with nothing but women here, and pirates have to be some fierce men!" I said as I walked over to him and hooked him on the shoulder, "We're definitely not pirates, you have to trust us." As she spoke, I shoved a bulging bag into his hand without a trace.
As soon as the guy felt the cold and smooth texture of the thin package in his hand and the crisp sound of the wind chimes colliding, his eyes immediately changed and he looked at me. "You're really not pirates?"
"Of course not, how can we be pirates?"
The guy glanced at Rose and the others, and then his face suddenly changed: "I'll just say! You honest people don't look like pirates, how can my big sheriff's eyesight be wrong." "This guy really turned his face faster than he turned a book, and after getting the money, his attitude made a 180-degree turn.
I continued to pull him and said, "I still have something to discuss with the sheriff, this ......?" I glanced into his eyes, and then at his men when he noticed my gaze.
He immediately understood what I meant: "You all go back first, I have something to say to this gentleman." "Sure enough, he was a master, and with a glance he understood what I meant, and sent all his men away. After all his men were gone, he said, "Shall we find a place to sit down?"
"That's great. ”
We followed him to a bar he was more familiar with, with a wooden structure that had the flavor of an American western. The sheriff was familiar with the bar and led us straight into the back room. After everyone is seated, I will speak.
"The sheriff said that our caravan had brought a lot of things here, and was going to land here and transport them to the interior. ”
"So you still have a big ship out there?"
"Not one, but many. In fact, it's a fleet, a lot. ”
"And ...... you?"
I snapped my fingers and pointed forward, and Shura Ziyi took out a large box from the phoenix dragon space, and then moved it to the table with Ziyue. The box is not very large, but it is very heavy. Boom on the table. I turned the box around, opened it to the sheriff, and with a pull of the switch, the lid clicked and popped open.
"Wow......" The sheriff was not prepared for a moment to be caught in the eyes by the strong light, and he rubbed it for a long time before he dared to look at the box again. With a twisted smile on his face, his hands reached into the box and stroked the glittering saliva tributaries.
This chest contains crystals, diamonds, gold, pearls, and some magic crystals. When selecting these things, we specifically looked for good gloss, more translucent baby, and the color is also specially matched. In addition, a special light-emitting device is installed under the box, which emits a white light as soon as the box is opened. The light at the bottom of the box is repeatedly refracted and reflected by these colorful jewels, and then it appears to be a super charming sparkle that will definitely stun any money lover. As long as he faints, we'll be fine.
He admired it for about ten minutes, then suddenly pulled the box back and snapped the lid shut. As soon as the beautiful brilliance disappeared, the sheriff, whose soul had already flown up into the clouds, fell back to reality.
"Is the sheriff satisfied with these things?"
"Satisfied, satisfied!" the sheriff nodded like garlic.
"Since the sheriff is so satisfied, our affairs will definitely be handled by the sheriff as his own business, right?"
"Of course, of course!"

"That's going to be easy. I got to the point: "We have a very large fleet, and we plan to land tonight to bring all the cargo ashore. However, we have a lot of ships, and the general port does not dare to pick them up, so I found you here. If you let us unload the cargo and people safely, you'll be doing me a great favor." ”
He looked at the box pressed by my hand and said with some embarrassment: "It's okay if it's less, but you have so many boats...... Mayor there...... And my men...... What do you think ......?"
I snapped my fingers again, and two identical boxes were brought to the table. Three boxes lined up in a row, so heavy that neither the table nor the sheriff's heart could hold it. "Still have questions?"
The sheriff's head immediately shook like a rattle: "Absolutely no problem, give me ten minutes, and I'll help you get everything done." He rushed out the door in a whirlwind, but after a few seconds he ran back: System Error!-0x000000008, 112619180 "Do you want a porter?"
"No, I don't. ”
"Then you wait for me here, and I'll be back shortly...... Wait for me!" the sheriff ran away, hearing the screams of tables, chairs and benches along the way.
waited until the voice was far away before Rose began: "A country that puts money first is not without merit, at least as long as you have money, you will have a good life." ”
Su Mei said disdainfully: "That guy looked arrogant at the beginning, and a small wallet made him treat you as a brother, and then he would become a pug when he saw these boxes!"
"Individual values are different. His love of money is his freedom. "Shadow Springs doesn't have any dislike for this sheriff.
I interrupted their conversation, and if they continued like this, they would probably get into an argument. "Anyway, he helped us solve the problems that were needed most. Everyone has his price, the sheriff's price is a box of jewels, and the hero's price is the respect of others, and that's the matter of their values. What we need to do is to confirm the correct value of each person and give them a fair reward. ”
"Like with this sheriff?" asked Sumi.
"Of course. I replied affirmatively, "He needs money, so we give him money as long as he can do it for us." ”
"What about us?" asked Sumi.
"You are my friends, and you need friendship rather than money. It's a bit rude, but it's easy to understand. ”
Su Mei shook her head: "Interpersonal relationships are the only knowledge I can't master because humans are too complicated!"
"Don't be so yourself. "True Red System Error!-0x000000008,112619180 said: "When I was your age, I didn't even have a tenth of the knowledge you have now. ”
……
Everyone chatted and time passed quickly. No matter what the sheriff's character is, at least he is very efficient. Thirteen minutes later he came back with another European by his side.
"Where the hell are you taking me, Sheriff?" the guy was still wearing pajamas, and he had almost been forced here by the sheriff.
The sheriff pulled him into our room before stopping. "Sorry, a little slow. ”
The kidnapped guy in his pajamas was still yelling at the sheriff, "What the hell are you going to do with you idiot...... I ......!" his voice grew quieter and quieter, and began to speak a language he didn't even understand. The reason, of course, was that I opened a box on the table.
The guy was obviously much more seasoned than the sheriff, and he recovered from the flash quickly, but this was quickly only relative to the sheriff. "May I ask ......who you are?" the man in the pajamas instinctively noticed that I was the central character.
The sheriff introduced us: "This is a great merchant and navigator from the far east...... What's your name?" he hadn't asked for my name yet.
"Purple Sun. ”
"Mr. Purple Sun. He introduced the guy in his pajamas. "This is Mr. Rohm, the mayor of the city. ”
It turned out that the sheriff had called the mayor, and judging by this posture, the mayor seemed to have been kidnapped from his bed. "It's Mr. Mayor!" I showed only a small amount of politeness, for the box of jewels was enough to keep me haughty.
The mayor nodded and said, "Then what is the matter with Mr. Ziri asking the sheriff to come to me?"
"That's right. The sheriff hurriedly said, "Mr. Ziri's caravan is going to unload the ships with us and then transport the things to the mainland." His fleet is relatively large, and there are no formalities, I want to see if I can ......?"
The mayor immediately understood what we meant. "You guys are more handy?"
I nodded, and opened the other two boxes as well. "It's actually very simple, let's unload the goods here secretly, these three boxes of things are yours. ”
The mayor swallowed his saliva, then lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and finally the charm of the jewels finally prevailed over reason. "I can block the harbor until dawn, no one will be able to enter the vicinity until then, you have to be fast. ”
"There is no problem with this, my ship is advanced and can be unloaded quickly. ”
"So can we start now?"
I picked up one of the boxes and put it at his feet!-0x000000008,112619180. "It's a deposit, and we'll give you the rest when we leave the city. ”
"Yes. Let's arrange it, you can hurry up, it's only three hours before dawn. ”
All the way to the money, we just smashed the two chief NPCs in this small city to the ground. The next thing was easy, and the sheriff was not ambiguous about taking the money to do things quickly, and a large number of police officers were transferred out to block the port, and even those hills with a view of the port were guarded. We released carrier pigeons for the fleet to come and unload.
The sheriff and the mayor were still startled when the huge Tyrant and the Eternity entered the port, and the huge harbor was almost half occupied by two warships, and this was because the two warships came in vertically, and if they landed horizontally on the side, they would not be able to enter!
Instead of each ship docking, we put the battleships together to form a pontoon, and everyone went ashore past the two huge ships in front. Although we brought a lot of equipment with us this time, we came with 7,000 people after all, and we moved things very quickly. The only problem was that the port was too small for everyone to crowd into the port together, and the unloaded items had to be taken out of the city immediately, so we had to send some people out of the city to see things.
The whole unloading process lasted more than two hours, and by the time we finally finished, it was almost dawn. The fleet did not dare to stay here longer, and as soon as the people were finished, they turned around and left, and at the speed of our battleships, as long as they did not run into the enemy head-on, there would be no problem.
Hongyan is the most troublesome thing to unload this time, he definitely can't come down directly, and besides, the Great White Shark can't enter the port, and the deep-water port is still too shallow for it. We let the Great White Shark float in the open sea, and then Red Yan left the Great White Shark and lifted off directly into the sky into American territory.
It was already dawn when we left this port city, but fortunately, there were not many people online in the early morning, and the team quickly left the city and moved to the interior. The people in our guild all have phoenixes, so when we came out this time, most of the things were shipped in the phoenix dragon space, and the only things that needed to be carried directly were those damn large machinery and artillery. These things could have been placed in the Mother Earth Temple, but Mother Earth was adamant against putting the cannon in her garden, so she had to transport it by hand. Moreover, these things are too big, and there is no way for the entrance of the phoenix dragon space to pass through such a strange shape, so it can only be honestly transported by carriage.
When they came out of Isinger, they specially prepared a large number of four-wheeled carriages, and all the items that could not be put into the phoenix dragon space were transported in these carriages. Anyway, what we have is labor, and there are so many steel claws, are we still afraid that no one will pull the cart?
Rose and I rode on the back of Nightshade, looked at the convoy behind them, and said, "How do I feel like we're fleeing?"
Riding a big pot of wild boar, he said: "This is not called fleeing, but a pioneer team." That's how the United States has developed in the past. ”
"Do you know a thing or two about American history?"
"I watched it on TV. ”
Su Mei rode her steel claws to catch up with her and said, "Then it's better for you to watch less TV in the future." ”
"Why?"
"Because it's all wrong. I said: "These literary and artistic works, whether they are movies and television or books and comics, generally make some changes to history in order to achieve entertainment and artistic effects, and even some are completely fictional, if you take them all seriously, then it will be troublesome!"
"I thought it was history on TV!"
"Alert!" the sudden voice in the guild channel silenced everyone.
Of course, it is impossible for such a large team of ours to scurry around on the ground in such a daze, and a large number of air scouts have already been arranged in the sky, and once a large number of people may meet with our team, we will be notified in advance to take refuge. Evasion is not because of fear of the Americans, but because of the fear of delay. We don't have a city in the United States, and we can go back to China as soon as we hang up.
