Under the guidance of the gods, what a holy, how glorious, what a great cause to fight evil and save the world. Alice and Linda's eyes lit up, their hearts pounded, and their breath became short.

"But......" Alice understood the plight of the Black Stone Collar too well, and her tone was lost: "We, the Black Stone Collar, do not have the ability to make enough antidote to get rid of the sea god, no, the curse of the devil." ”

"Alice, the knowledge of the gods is indeed not to be passed on lightly. For the foolish will defile the holiness of knowledge, but the wise will spread the virtues of knowledge. ”

"Children, don't be timid because you're weak, don't be silent because you're nameless. The road to fight evil is long, you will not be alone, and there will be countless companions who will fight side by side with you. ”

"Go, the heavy responsibility of maintaining world peace starts with you!"

Qin Song's voice gradually faded away, and Alice and Linda looked at each other firmly, clenching their fists tightly.

......

"What? can you lift the curse of the sea god?"

Early the next morning, in Captain Mason's room. With a mysterious smile on his face, Karrick sat down in his chair, calmly arranging his crumpled sleeves.

Before dawn, Alice hastily summoned him in the drawing room, and together with Linda, conveyed to him the revelations of the gods - the curse of the sea god and the sea monsters outside the harbor are resurgent evil forces that must stop their spread.

And the last few philosophical words of the gods, after the speculation of the three people, especially the participation of Karrick's shrewd business acumen, came to a conclusion - that is, the antidote to the curse of the sea god can be taught to the wise people.

The revelation of the gods never came out of thin air, and Mason, who encountered the sea monster, was in Blackstone Castle, which was obviously not a coincidence, and it was very likely that he was a smart person hinted by the gods.

Of course, the knowledge of the gods is not free.

Mason on the other side poked in surprise at the chair like half a piece of wood, the boss with his mouth open. Karrick arrived early, thinking that he was just discussing the transportation of fresh water and food, but unexpectedly, he heard the shocking news that the Blackstone Collar could lift the curse of the sea god.

"Mr. Carrick, you're not kidding. The curse of the sea god, a vicious curse that even the Holy Spirit Society could do nothing about, countless poor sailors died in agony, leaving their souls in the depths of the sea. ”

"Mr. Mason, your reaction is expected from me. In fact, I didn't believe what sounded ridiculous when I was cursed and gave up all hope. But - and so a miracle happened. Karrick calmly recounts all this: "My sailors and I were caught in a storm at sea, drifted for a month and a half, everyone cursed, but we all survived. ”

"Oh my God. Mason's face was still full of incredulity: "How is this possible?"

"That's exactly what happened. Karrick smiled and spread his hands, "The fact that I can sit here and talk to you is the best proof." Of course, if you don't believe it, you can verify it yourself. I bet there must be cursed happiers on your ship, too. ”

The Shining Pearl did not encounter storms at sea, except for the fact that it was unable to dock at the Daotan Pier, and the voyage was generally smooth, with regular docking along the coastline for resupply. However, the supplies were all fresh water, bread and air-dried meat, and there were no vegetables and fruits at all, which was a common problem in medieval navigation, resulting in insufficient VC intake, and scurvy was inevitable.

Sure enough, Mason Huo Ran raised his head, with a little doubt, but also a little expectation: "Really, can you let me see the curse lifted with my own eyes?"

As a businessman, he, like Karrick, understands the value of the 'antidote' too well. Especially in the city of Arabe, there are more than a dozen merchant ships docked every day, and there are countless sailors who are cursed by the sea god.

Sailing is not a simple matter, it is not a matter of buying a few serfs to be put on board a ship, and you can act as sailors, only those who are well-trained, skilled, and strong-willed to endure loneliness can dare to face the unpredictable sea.

A skilled sailor is to a captain what a knight with a skilled sword is to a lord.

"Of course, I can let you see them get back to health. A hint of cunning flashed in Karek's eyes: "However, the formula of the antidote is very precious. ”

"I understand!" Needless to say, Mason nodded, "If the magic antidote really exists, there is no doubt that it is worth a thousand gold." ”

"But......" Mason changed his words, looking at Karrick with burning eyes, as if observing the fluctuation of his gaze, and the corners of his mouth hooked a curvature: "Mr. Carrick, I have a question. Why are you telling me if you have the recipe for the antidote?"

The meaning is very clear, there is such a way to make money, why don't you go yourself?

"Hahaha......" Karrick laughed heartily, leaning forward slightly, not afraid to look at him at all: "We are too small! Talking about the port, how many ships can dock in a month? As far as I know, the port of Arabe City, in the peak season, can dock dozens of large merchant ships a day. ”

"That's true, but you can go to the city of Arabe. Rest assured, this time, no one will come to your trouble. I guarantee with personality. ”

"No, no, no. Mr. Mason. Karrick shook his head and leaned over to lower his voice: "You know, this is not only a good deed for the benefit of the common people, but also a profitable business. We, the Blackstone Lords, are just minor lords who owe allegiance to the Duke of Waterdeep, once the news spreads...... Hehe, Lord Duke's orders, we can't help but obey, right?"

Mason only thinks from the perspective of a merchant, but Carrick's words make him realize that there is a strict hierarchy among nobles, and once they swear allegiance, they must be controlled. Such a cash cow is probably coveted even by the duke of Waterdeep.

It's no wonder that Karrick is willing to secretly sell him the formula of the 'antidote', his purpose is to maximize the benefits that Blackstone Collar can get.

That way, everything makes sense. Mason let down his guard and looked solemn: "Mr. Carrick, I see what you mean. If my sailor can be cured successfully, then on behalf of the Pierre family, I can buy the recipe for the antidote at a price that satisfies you!"

"Mr. Mason, you won't be disappointed. ”

Carrick's heart was overjoyed, he knew too well how big the market was for Arabe. According to the peak season, an average of 40 merchant ships docked every day, each ship has five patients, and each patient is charged a fee of one gold coin, which is the income of 200 gold coins a day, and 6,000 gold coins a month, even if the cost of fruits and vegetables and labor costs are subtracted, there is a large enough profit.

Of course, a gold coin is only the most conservative estimate, I am afraid that when the time comes, 10 gold coins for a life, and there are also people competing for it.

"So what are we waiting for?" Mason quickly stood up and said anxiously, "My sailors are still suffering from the curse. I think we need to hurry up and get them ashore in small boats. ”

"Wait, Mr. Mason. Karrick smiled calmly, "Just the first thing I said. Below, there is a second thing. ”

"The second thing?"

"Yes, Mr. Mason, about the Shining Pearl, and the sea monsters that hovered outside the harbor. Karrick waved his hand at Mason and motioned for him to sit down, "We, the Blackstone Collar, have a way to get you to the port of Daotan." ”

"What?" Mason, who had just sat down, instantly bounced up from his stool again, "Mr. Carrick, this is the second incredible thing I've heard today, can you describe it clearly?"

"I'm sorry. Karrick shrugged, "It's a secret too. But we can guarantee that we will provide you with a way to expel the sea monsters!"

"Really?" Mason couldn't calm down any longer, even if the Flash Pearl was replenished with fresh water from the Blackstone Collar, as long as the sea monster existed, they would not be able to dock, and could only choose to return.

Karrick nodded confidently, "I guarantee it with my personality." ”

"I'm willing to give it a try. As a captain, he has plenty of adventurous spirit, and Mason gritted his teeth: "If it really works, I'm willing to pay the corresponding payment!"
