Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The capitalists will sell us the nooses they used to hang them. (Please search for the fastest novel website!) This famous sentence was said by the famous bald rebel Ulyanov in the old world, and this truth is equally common in the new world.
"Anyway, even if I refuse to sell, others will definitely sell, so it doesn't matter if I die or not, let's make money first!" There has always been no shortage of intelligent people with this spirit of realism, and the pursuit of profits by capital is driven by their nature, and it is more difficult to make capitalists abandon profits than to make human beings not breathe air. The boss of the exchange who has been fighting in the business sea for a long time deeply understands this iron law, and Luo Zhengdao, who has crossed over from the earth, knows that capital's greed for profits is endless.
After the two sides met, and the brief courtesy greeting ended, the exchange boss showed a meaningful smile on his face, and he said straight to the point:
"I heard that the Earl is from the island of Seland, and you must have a batch of spices in your hands to transfer! Have you found a suitable buyer? â
The black thin bald exchange owner who looked like a middle-aged version of Mahatma Gandhi on the other side, his face was full of wrinkles when he started laughing, Luo Zhengdao was not confused by the other party's warm smile, he replied quietly:
"There's a lot of spice ready to be sold."
"How many goods are ready to be transferred?"
"About two hundred boxes."
At this time, both the exchange boss who was the inquirer and the Vena who was in charge of answering the question only watched the change in each other's expressions, and Luo Zhengdao, who was caught between them, became an insignificant spectator.
Speaking of bargaining, due to the lack of sufficient understanding and depth of cognition of the situation in the new world, no matter how good Luo Zhengdao's eloquence is, he is not up to the task, except for the steps of leading the liaison must be completed by him himself, the rest of the things can not be done. Fortunately, with Luo Zhengdao's current aristocratic status, he is not only a captain, but also a nobleman with a prominent family, and it is only natural that the specific affairs are handed over to his subordinates.
After a fierce exchange of words and swords, the deal was negotiated, and Luo Zhengdao sold about two-thirds of the spices, in exchange for a total of more than 6,000 gold coins. This is ten times the amount of money that was invested in the purchase of spices a week ago, and don't forget that there are still a hundred boxes of spices left on the ship, and the principal has been earned back with interest, which can only be considered pure profit.
Luo Zhengdao accompanied him all the way to watch Vina and the personnel of the exchange complete the delivery procedures for the goods, and after the two sides were at the dock, he only asked at this time:
"Vina, why don't we just sell all the spices we have left?"
Hearing this, the half-elf beauty showed a bright smile full of intellectual beauty, she looked at her student, and immediately put on the posture of a teacher who taught earnestly, and said:
"Will, what a stupid student! Don't all the spices you left behind the Yalings love? Now that the trade routes of Big 6 are often interrupted, we can pry open the door of the Yaling Empire with these spices as gifts, which is very helpful for your career, understand? â
"Yes! My career ......"
Suddenly, Luo Zhengdao suddenly remembered that he was not playing the latest Age of Exploration virtual game, but now he was playing with his life! That's right, his simple way of life as an ordinary person has become a thing of the past since the moment his soul crosses, and the idea of being rich and peaceful is like a slow suicide act like drinking a donkey to quench his thirst. There are only two paths in front of Luo Zhengdao that are also not optimistic, either he does his best to fight those green-skinned goblins, which is very difficult to achieve, or he is completely defeated by the green-skinned goblins, which is relatively simple, but the final result may not be what Luo Zhengdao is happy to see.
Due to the fundamental contradiction between Luo Zhengdao and the goblin, this is destined to be an irreconcilable fierce conflict, in addition to choosing to commit suicide, now there is only one choice left to go to the black, perhaps this is one of the heavy prices that Luo Zhengdao must pay to cross over and replace Will Needham!
There is no such thing as a free lunch, and if there is, you'd better think about whether you can afford the heavy price hidden in the money before you move your chopsticks.
Suddenly, Luo Zhengdao's expression froze in an instant, his face was violently distorted by extreme pain, and he slowly bent down, as if he had been stabbed in the face.
Seeing this scene, the unprepared Vina Dubov was frightened enough, she hugged Luo Zhengdao's cheeks with her slender and silky hands, and called out loudly:
"Will! Will! What happened to you? Answer me! â
"I ......"
Luo Zhengdao, who was paralyzed and weak, barely spit out a few syllables and then became weak, not only did his tongue spasm to the edge of losing control, but the muscles of his whole body were twitching violently, as if he was being pulled by Professor Yang to treat the bear children who had quit Internet addiction. I can't say, the amount of sweat that can't stop pouring out of Luo Zhengdao's body is staggering, almost soaking through his clothes in the blink of an eye, compared to the cramp-like radiant pain on his body, Luo Zhengdao's head seems to be stuffed into dozens of elephants piled up and jumping and tapping, and the intensity of the headache makes him suspect that his head may explode at any time.
This sudden ** pain lasted for dozens of seconds, and it stopped as abruptly as when it first arrived, and when Luo Zhengdao sat up from the ground in shock, his face was as white as a piece of gold paper, if he said that he might fall to the ground and die violently at any time, someone would believe it immediately when he said it.
Leaning down and gasping for a while, Luo Zhengdao, who was sweating profusely, struggled to straighten his body and said to Vina Dubov with a surprised expression:
"Vina, help me get back."
After tens of thousands of years of continuous improvement and perfect performance, the Yaling battleship not only pays attention to practical functions, but also has extremely high requirements for aesthetics. The captain's cabin of the second-hand Yaling battleship was more than double the size of the Yong, and after that, it was carefully arranged by the half-elf beauty, and the whole room was full of grace and elegance.
At this time, a ray of sunlight shining into the room through the round porthole gave birth to the style of light and dark division in the room, and the people gathered in front of the bed did not care about the furnishings and aesthetic tastes around them, and their eyes were all focused on Luo Zhengdao alone.
"Miss Dubov, according to your statement, I suspect that Lord Count is not ill."
Needless to say, the core figure of the entire team is Luo Zhengdao, and his role is irreplaceable, if Luo Zhengdao swallows his breath, there will be no need for this temporary pirate team that has been put together to continue to save zĂ i, it is better to go home as soon as possible, therefore, Luo Zhengdao's health situation has attracted everyone's attention. As the ship's doctor, Drake King, admitted that he could not find out the cause of his illness, his subordinates hired a foreign doctor to treat him through a collegiate approach, and they immediately sent someone to invite one of the most famous senior doctors in the Aru Islands to diagnose Luo Zhengdao's condition.
The world is unpredictable, but when the doctor, who is known for his superb medical skills, carefully examined Luo Zhengdao's physical condition, and listened to the description of the symptoms of the illness by Vina Dubov, a bystander, he showed a very unoptimistic professional opinion.
"You say it's not a disease, so what could it be?"
The medical system of the New World, which relies on arcane and alchemy, is not much worse than the modern medicine of the Old World, and it is a joke to think that the doctors of the New World will only do bloodletting therapy or something. The current state of medicine in this world needs to be thanked by those arcanists who are committed to the study of necromantic magic, they have a good understanding of the composition and operation mode of human organs, and it is naturally easier for doctors to learn according to the map, especially the leaders in this industry, who are basically those who have failed to learn arcane arts, and have switched to medicine halfway.
Dr. Burns put down a portable stethoscope made of reeds made from the rare metal "vibranium" and said:
"Based on my experience in medicine and the patient's physical signs, I am personally inclined to think that this is some kind of curse, but what is it? I'm sorry, but I'm a doctor and can't do anything to lift the curse. Your Excellency the Earl would do well to go to the temple and hire a priest or priest to try to remove the curse, they will be better suited to deal with the situation than I am. â
Due to the size of the captain's room, only a dozen people were present, including the governess Vina Dubov, the boatswain Zola Hegel, the captain of the Brave Fal Chopin and the short and fat ship doctor Drake King, and the quartermaster Haile Pope and others, who were basically the main cadres of the fleet.
Luo Zhengdao, who was lying on the bed recuperating and had a faint breath, opened his eyes, glanced at everyone weakly, and whispered to Dr. Burns:
"Thank you! I hope you don't talk about my situation to anyone else. â
"Of course, keeping the patient's secret is our professional ethics as doctors, so please rest assured."
The front foot saw off Dr. Burns, and the back foot Vina Dubov said to the others worriedly:
"How can it be a curse? Could it be those green-skinned shamans? No, it won't! They don't even have a chance to do it. â
Luo Zhengdao, who had enough self-knowledge in this matter, looked at everyone present, lowered his voice and said:
"It's not the goblins, those greenskins have done a lot of bad things, but this time they were really wronged."
Hearing this, the half-elf beauty widened her beautiful eyes and said in confusion:
"Then how could you...... Will, what do you know? â
"Well, it's a long story, I'll tell you if I have the chance, and now I need to rest."
As a senior adventurer, one of the basic skills of coming out to mix with society is to observe words and looks, if you can't see which people you can't mess with, whether their mood is good or bad, no matter how strong the adventurer is, he will definitely hit the street. Vena, the half-elf, has also led a group to travel all over the world, and these basic skills have been practiced to the realm of perfection early in the morning. At this moment, she glanced at Luo Zhengdao's embarrassed expression, and immediately understood that there were some things that he was inconvenient to say, so she said empathetically:
ââŚâŚ Oh! All right! When you are willing to speak up, tell us again. â
