You decide to continue on to the shipbuilders.

Under the guidance of your merchant, there is a shipbuilder you know not far away. Why not say it's a shipyard, because the shipyard is by the sea, and it is only an office place for managers and foremen when they are not working, and it is also the face of business. After all, it is located in a dense trade area.

The huge building was like a warehouse, full of timber and other materials from shipbuilding, and there were not many workers.

The boss was blind in one eye.

He looks more like a pirate than a pirate, although the merchant assures you that he has known the boss for many years and is definitely not a pirate. But...... Superimage.

"Phew!"

The boss spits in his palm, then rubs his left and right hands against each other, and then wipes his pants again, and extends his hand to you. The handshake was full of kindness and disgust.

The boss in his twenties looks older than he actually is, and he doesn't have much energy. He sat down on the couch with a thud and asked the guy next to him to hand you a bunch of papers.

You flipped through it, startled, and handed it to Hathaway. Hathaway seemed to be mentally prepared.

There are dozens of prices and details of various ships, all of which are standard package prices, including bow statues, interior decorations, sail ropes, artillery ammunition, a minimum number of sailors with a rank of 4-6 sailors' contracts, filling with water, rum and food before sailing, and by the way, a half-month warranty. That's right, only half a month.

A sixth-level warship costs 5000 gold, in fact, it can't fight at all, it can only run merchants or escorts, 6 guns, 15-150 people. If it's a minimum number of sailors, it must be all elite.

The fifth-class warship costs 9,000 gold, the most common privateer of pirates, fast, fierce and cheap, 20 guns, 20-200 men, the rest is the same.

The fourth-class warship costs 13,000 gold, the most balanced practical warship, and it is also the highest quality ship that this shipbuilder can build. 50 guns, 35-350 people. The original intention of the design was basically to sink a fifth-level warship, and the speed was about the same, but the firepower and solidity were much higher than that of the fifth-level, and it was rare to lose to the fifth-level. If you want to build it, you need to approve it from the Council of Representatives.

The third-class warship costs 26,000 gold, and it is necessary to hire senior craftsmen from other towns to cooperate in the construction, and the cost can easily soar more than 30,000 gold. The kingdom is not allowed to be built privately, and it needs to have a very hard guard backstage, otherwise it will be accused of piracy or rebellion.

The second-class warship is 40,000 gold, and it needs to be hired externally to increase the cost. Private construction is not allowed.

The first-class warship is 75,000 gold, and it needs to be hired externally to increase the cost. Private construction is not allowed.

Self-customized, additional 10% charge.

As if sensing that you were shocked by the price list, the boss casually handed you another very simple price list: "Fishing boat, five to ten gold coins, spot." "What do you want a fishing boat for?

It's not that you can't afford it, you can buy it right away at level six, and it's almost the same to save money at level five.

"Uh-huh, oh, misunderstanding, I don't think you have no money to ......" The boss saw the businessman's hinted eyes, and suddenly realized that his attitude was relatively sluggish, and raised his hand again and again to apologize, "I'm not targeting you, it's that the business is getting worse and worse, and I really don't have the heart to take over the business." He pointed to the gold-rimmed wooden signboard hanging above his head, and said proudly: "My family is a century-old shop, and the flagships of "Black Hook" and "White Fin" are all from my own craftsmanship, and I have been galloping freely on the sea until today, which is very awesome! I am also conscientiously inheriting the craftsmanship and foundation of my ancestors, not boasting, my father said that I am a rare genius in two years! Alas, it is a pity that the signboard is probably going to be smashed in my hands. ”

The boss opened the conversation, and the merchant stood behind him, imitating silently at the same time.

"A few years ago, I was so young and vigorous that I ran into the captain of the Black Hook and had one of my eyes gouged out. Speaking of this, the boss seemed to feel that his wound was aching, and the businessman also covered his face at the same time, "My personal matter is small, but the business is hindered and the matter is big." You know that the shipbuilding has to be built by the sea, otherwise how can such a terrain push the behemoth all the way through? But most of the forces on the seaside belong to the "Black Hook", and the other half belongs to the "White Fin", and my shipyard is within the protection of the "Black Hook". In a whole year, we only built three large ships, two of which were inexplicably seriously damaged and repaired, of course, out of our own pocket, and one buyer who somehow suddenly repented and preferred to pay a large deposit rather than this ship, and finally ran away. If we continue like this, we will go out of business...... We're not alone. ”

The boss paused, looked back at the merchant, who immediately stopped imitating and whistled to the side.

They put their hands over their faces together,

Sigh deeply together,

"Since you're a big man, can you figure it out for me?" the boss pleaded with you, "I urgently need an environment where I can build ships with peace of mind." If we can stop the nuisance of Black Hook once and for all, I would like to give you a Tier 5 Warship as a token of appreciation. If you can give us peace of mind to build a boat on the shoreline of "White Fin", I would like to give you half price until I retire. ”

Hathaway asked, "What if both problems are solved?"

The boss was stunned when he heard this,

Then he patted his thigh and laughed: "Impossible little girl! These two families contain each other, if one declines, the other will rise rapidly, this is not 2-1-1=0 is arithmetic, but the cruel reality of 2-1-3=0." ”

Suddenly, he whispered with a serious expression, "...... If you can dig out at least one of the eyes of the captain of the "Black Hook", you will not send level 5, but level 4, and all the manpower and materials are readily available. If I can bring his corpse, the artillery sailors and others will be of the best quality in the whole five lanes. ”

There's no reason not to say yes, Elizabeth also gave you a thumbs up, it's not a pit.

The boss says that if you can prove that you have the strength and sincerity to help him, he will send someone to secretly pass you information about the two pirate groups - after all, his shipyard is on the coast.

Shake hands again and make a deal. Annette hands you a handkerchief, and Hathaway gives him the address of the guild.

Under normal circumstances, you have just moved over, and the public still doesn't know what this address means, but the boss is stunned on the spot. He looked down at the address, then at you, with wide eyes, and asked, "You...... The leader of the Adventurer's Guild?"

A few of the people next to you have changed their expressions.

"It's Lord Baron, the newly-promoted. The merchant smiled and took over, "But how did you think he was the president?"

The boss stands up and looks you up and down: "It's impossible to make a mistake. Recently, "Black Hook" was hacked to death by adventurers to kill a first mate, and the news has spread all over their forces, and of course our shipyard has heard about it. You guys...... Do you know that in two or three days, the entire Wuxiang Bay will be blockaded on your entire territory?"

You were about to leave,

You sit back on the couch and ask your boss to continue.

The boss laughed for some reason, covered his mouth and thought about something, and then explained: "There are too many people who have offended you as soon as you come, and adventurers are not even welcome to civilians in Wuxiang Bay, and it is easy for villains to join forces with their enemies under the coordination of the market. I've heard that they, led by the Black Hook and the Market, plan to encircle you, cut off food and water, and then find an opportunity to bloodied the Guild and kill them all...... You really don't know about the catastrophe?"

Know the point.

But I don't know so detailed.

"Damn, the day I'm going to turn over!" the boss covered his mouth and laughed, as if he was thinking of some bad idea, "If you can survive, it will be the end of the Black Hook, to put it mildly, even if you both lose, I will survive completely." By the way, you won't be able to receive a half-order mission during the lockdown period, right? I can, I can support you as much as possible "secretly"!"

Suddenly, the boss stands up and bows deeply to you. The words are "please be sure to survive", but the momentum is to see off the strong men who are dying.

Is the state so bad?

You turn to the scholar and say, go, send a message to Linda, and tell her to check it out immediately. The scholar asked rhetorically, who is Linda?

You continue to the instructor in the back row...... Oh, she's not there.

What do you think of Hathaway...... She can't cast spells.

"Okay. Annette saluted respectfully, then cast a spell to send a message to Linda, asking her to investigate the details of the blockade as soon as possible. Her eyes are full of the smile of a girl in love, waiting for your praise.

Touch your head.

Linda, this guy, sooner or later, will delay the big thing because of stealth cancer. You can't even send her a message as an employer, what's it called?

You left the shipbuilders.

Annette whispered, "Why is the big ship so expensive?"

"Is it expensive? No matter what age it is, a warship is enough for civilians to live for several lifetimes. Wuxiang Bay and the ancient slave trading city were both marquis' domains, and the trade between them was smooth and the prices were similar. 6-8 gold coins for a bull, 50 gold for a refined set of non-magical heavy armor, 500 gold for a level 10 warrior mercenary, about 300 gold for a beautiful virgin with no combat power who has undergone strict etiquette training for "you" in the slave era, 500-700 gold for a person resurrected in the temple, 500 gold for the high-level resurrection ceremony of Sylvana and Boltz, the cost price alone is 5000 gold, and a warship is gone, and Fiertin and her annual salary are 100 gold. Prices in the surrounding towns are basically the same. Hathaway explained.

Annette could only smile wryly.

"In addition to specialties such as sea salt and seafood. The merchant pointed ahead and interjected, "Sea salt worth 1 gold can be turned into 20 gold if it is transported from the southernmost territory of the Marquis, that is, here, to the northernmost Cloud Splitting City. Aquatic products can also be increased at least tenfold, but after all, other towns also have rivers and lakes, so they are not as profitable as sea salt. ”

Creak...... Hearing such a statement, several people couldn't help but gasp. I know it's a huge profit, but I don't know how violent it is. 100 gold, a few days to change hands and become 20,000 gold.

The production of rock salt in the marquis's territory is very small, and it is all counting on the bay of five lanes.

"Can we ...... too?"

"No, that's official salt. Unlike aquatic products, they are all controlled by Viscount Polz alone, refusing to touch anyone. After a pause, the scholar added, "But I have heard that the Marquis loses money in this business." It's counterintuitive, and no one knows why. ”

"Then can we ......?"

"No, you can't. The scholar interjected, "Viscount Polz is the market manager appointed by the Marquis, and he brings immeasurable huge benefits to his old man every year, and he expects the Marquis to help again just for the matter of Haiyan? First, the impression of Viscount Polz is full of 100; second, he has always colluded with the interests of the Marquis's granddaughter, and Sylvana will do her best to keep Portz; third, Portz has indeed swelled over the years, but if he doesn't have the ability to slap horses......"

Oh, yes

It is indeed strange for a viscount to flaunt his might in the marquis's domain. Isn't the territory of the other viscount, Eliabes, far from the bay of the Five Lanes?, but Boltz has plunged like a sharp knife into the richest core of the marquisdom. If it weren't for the very pleasing sycophants, it wouldn't have been possible.

Suddenly, the scholar's words changed: "It's also the only chance for the Marquis to help us." ”

"Help, how to help? You just said it yourself: the Marquis will never touch Viscount Polz for us. Hathaway was not happy when she heard this.

"Porz will not be completely replaced, but someone else may be replaced in charge of sea salt. This is a small thing, but it is a heavy blow to Boltz. ”

"And then feel how brutal the wounded beast is?"

belch

The scholar choked again.

The atmosphere of the two women stiffened.

As if to ease the atmosphere, the merchant immediately pointed elsewhere and said, "Ah yes, there's the Canal Guild over there. Five Lanes Bay spent a lot of money long ago to dig the Hai River and the adjacent river, so that it could trade with several other towns by water. There are a lot more market guards than we have around us, and there are many villains entrenched, making it the most mixed area of the entire caravan trade area. ”

"Are We ......?"

"Nope. The waterway to the ancient slave trade town had a post station, where the market guards were stationed to check it, and there were two and actually a long detour to the labyrinth camp. Whether it is Haiyan or the canal, the guild and the ancient city market will not be able to feel the slightest benefit, and can only increase the risk. ”

The scholar interrupted the businessman: "You can't deny that we may get other opportunities besides money. "The businessman scratched his head and was noncommittal, because after all, it was very messy, and no one could say whether there would be any other opportunities.

"I think about it for a moment, this journey to death seems to be the rhythm you bring, right?"

......

Hathaway suddenly pinned the scholar into the ice cellar.

The scholar tried to open his mouth several times, but finally chose to remain silent.

She just explained in a low voice that she didn't have a rhythm, and she didn't intend to harm the guild. Whether it's true or not can be asked by Elizabeth. Elizabeth yawned and asked if she could move on? Rainbow Shadows was also a bit boring, as this was an area for large caravans, and nothing could be sold to tourists.

Elizabeth suddenly stopped halfway to yawn and looked at the crowd next to her. She whispered to you: "Elder, the stalking of the 'Haiqiang Sect' has become more and more, and it has become six or seven people one after another, and it continues to increase. Our identities are exposed. ”

"What are you afraid of, twenty more of that kind of little rabbit cub is a matter of a few swords. Raymond flexes his shoulders and whispers to you, "We can shake off these tails when we leave this trade area, as long as they're still on the lookout." ”

It's half past three, and it's still a quarter of an hour before the two instructors return.

What are you going to do?

A, go to the sea salt vendor.

B, go to the Canal Guild.

C, get out of here and head to the outskirts of Black Street.
