After a night in Valencia, the Seagull was ready to set sail for Arles the next day. Since it cost another 207 gold coins to buy ceramics and salt, Luo Fei also had to re-replace the certificate of deposit at the local Portuguese bank with Who I Am.

After deducting the crew's salaries, the squad's assets are 706 gold coins.

The money is kept by Long Aotian for 56 gold coins, and the remaining 650 gold coins will continue to be exchanged for vouchers and kept in the inventory by "Who am I".

However, although the two places were less than two days away, Oliver still protested to Luo Fei as soon as he said his destination!

The problem was an agreement between Oliver and Luffy, who had promised the Seagull that he would only trade between Portugal and Spain when he hired his original helmsman, lookout, and surveyor.

"Although Ceuta also belongs to Africa, after all, it is extremely close to Seville, and Seville's current trade is monopolized by the local Chamber of Commerce, so we tacitly believe that going to Ceuta is not a violation of the agreement between us!"

Oliver was a little angry, and continued in a persuasive tone, "Besides, you must have forgotten what I told you yesterday about pirates!" We had always tried to drive along the coastline before, so we didn't encounter pirates, but to get to Arles, we had to cross the Mediterranean, and not to mention the less than two days of sailing, it was enough for the pirates to ambush us and evacuate very calmly! ”

"Is this an NPC's warning to me?" Luo Fei thought to himself after hearing this, and immediately paid attention to it.

After all, in the script of "The Long Night" before, Su Ruoying didn't listen to Carl's words, and insisted on opening the iron cabinet in the hunter's hut, which finally led to Luo Fei being suddenly attacked by the hunter!

"If I hadn't had the "Inspiration Capture Notes" that time, I would have been short of food, not to mention the last to complete the hidden mission, and I would probably not have been able to complete the normal mission of successfully reaching the small town of Criss. When Luo Fei thought of this, the thought of going to Algiers had completely disappeared.

"But I heard that Argiers is rich in ivory, and we are only qualified to buy one cabin of ceramics in Valencia, and the other cabin of salt, just so that we can sell the salt to Algiers, buy another cabin of ivory, and ship it back to Lisbon to make money!" It was obvious that he hadn't suffered a loss of ignoring NPC warnings before, or that he had been in a similar situation before, but the blow he suffered didn't almost fail like Luo Fei's time.

"I've said everything I need to say anyway, and I hope the captain will abide by the previous agreement." Oliver saw that I was insisting on going to Algiers, so he had to spread his hands and look at Luo Fei.

"To make up for the agreement, we can triple your wages for five days!" Before Luo Fei could speak, who am I suddenly said to Oliver.

Oliver was stunned for a moment, and then did not immediately object, but pondered, as if thinking about whether he could make this money.

"Boss." At this time, I said to Luo Fei very seriously: "Whether it was in Ceuta or Valencia before, I consulted local merchants during the interval of trading. They say that the same goods cannot be sold continuously at the same high price in a short period of time. For example, if we ship saffron from Lisbon to Ceuta, Ceuta gives us a very high price because of the lack of saffron, but because they have already obtained saffron through purchase, no matter who ships saffron in the future, it will definitely not be able to sell it for as high a price as we have in the short term, and it will be much lower! ”

"You mean that if we don't go to Algiers to buy this ivory, then we will return to Lisbon much less profitable?" Luo Fei immediately grasped the point of who I was talking about.

"That's what it means." Who am I nodding: "You must know that salt itself is a specialty of Lisbon, even if we go to Ceuta to sell, there is no guarantee that there will not be merchants who have transported large quantities of salt from Lisbon to Ceuta before." At that time, our cabin of salt will probably not even be able to sell it at the current purchase price! ”

"You do have a point." Luo Fei nodded, and looked at Oliver again, he wanted to see who I was and if the high price he had proposed earlier could impress Oliver.

In Luo Fei's opinion, if Oliver still refuses after the high price, then the route from Valencia to Algiers must be dangerous and must not go. But if Oliver agrees to take the risk, it means that there is not necessarily a 100% chance of encountering pirates on this route, and there is still a chance to venture to Algiers.

At this time, Oliver saw Luo Fei looking at him, so he sighed and said: "Since the captain also agreed to pay three times the price for five days, I think the other crew members on the ship will also agree to go to Algiers, after all, this is already equivalent to their usual half a month's salary." ”

Luo Fei saw who I was and made a "sure enough" smile to him, and then looked at who he loved and Long Aotian.

"I think it's worth the risk." Whoever you love is naturally the same opinion as who I am, and Long Aotian rarely agreed with their statement, and at the same time showed off his muscles to the others: "Even if the pirates really come, I will take the lead and kill them!" ”

As a result of the final discussions, the Seagull set sail for Algiers.

On the first day of the two-day journey, the sea had been calm, not to mention pirates, not even other merchant ships, which also made Luo Fei feel a little reassured.

But the next morning, less than a day before Algiers, the lookout suddenly rang the warning bell on the lookout pole!!

"What's wrong? What's wrong! Luo Fei, as the captain of the ship, quickly ran to the bottom of the lookout pole, and Oliver, who usually patrolled the deck, reached the lookout pole faster, raised his head and asked.

"There seems to be a fleet of ships coming in the distance, about five ships!" At this time, the lookout Yurilan could see more clearly than when he warned him: "It looks like Barbarodin's pirate ship!" ”

"What?? Barbarodin's Five Pirate Ships??? Oliver, stunned, was so frightened that his face turned pale.

Seeing Luo Fei like Oliver, he also knew that this group of pirates must be difficult to deal with, but he, who was both the captain of the Seagull and the captain of the player team, still had to ask Oliver: "Who is Barbarodin?" Is he powerful? ”

"He's a red-bearded pirate who even many navies in Europe feared!" Oliver pointed to the side of the Seagull, and at this time, the pirate fleet in the distance was getting closer and closer, and even Luo Fei under the lookout pole had already seen five larger and larger black dots speeding towards this side!

"According to rumors, when Barbarodin's five pirate ships gather, there will definitely be no less than 500 pirates on board, and there will be more than 200 cannons that can fire together!" The frightened Oliver even began to persuade Luo Fei and said: "Such a powerful force is not something that dozens of us Seagull can stop, I suggest that we surrender directly!" We will lose money and goods, but at least they won't hurt us, and the Seagull will let us go safely! ”
