Chapter 121: Anchor Up! To the sea (14) (ask for recommendation votes earlier)
"If we follow the normal gameplay, it seems that we have only one way to go to Beihai now!" Luo Fei said to who I was: "But I am afraid of a problem. ”
"What's the problem?" Who am I asking.
"That's when we went to Algiers before, we ignored Oliver's warnings and forced all the goods and some gold coins to take that route, and Barbarodin looted all the goods and some of the gold coins." Luo Fei sighed.
"You mean, after being warned at the time, normal players will choose to follow the advice of the NPC and give up the idea of going to Algiers?" Who am I, I seem to understand what Luo Fei meant.
"What I'm afraid of is whether that loss will directly lead to us not being able to complete the task of collecting 2,000 gold coins within the stipulated time limit, no matter how hard we try in the future, even if we are determined to go to the North Sea." Luo Fei voiced his concerns about who I was.
"You mean trigger and fail?" I said with a different point of view: "But after all, this is only a script of ordinary difficulty, and due to the role of your previous notes, boss, after that defeat, we actually had no additional losses after that defeat." ”
"You have a point." Luo Fei nodded: "Maybe we go to Beihai to trade now, and we still have a chance to complete the task." ”
"But since Long Aotian was taken away by Barbarodin, I've been thinking about a question these days." Luo Fei continued to say to me openly and honestly: "When I played for a long night, it was also because my teammates insisted on prying the NPC's iron cabinet, which caused me to be suddenly attacked by hunters, all the food was stolen, and my teammates were also held hostage. But in the same way, I received an additional task from the system, and finally rescued my teammates, and I also got more experience, time coins, and even opened the aura specialization! ”
"Are you saying that if we go to the waters between the islands of Madeira and Las Palmas and help the Spanish Navy defeat Barbarodin, we may get an additional reward?" I was a little intrigued when she heard it, but she was still skeptical, "We didn't get a hint of the additional bonus quest appearing, though."
"It could also be like when I was working on a newbie script, maybe it's a hidden mission." Luo Fei looked at the announcement again and said: "I think the appearance of this announcement is also like some kind of prompt, and Barbarodin took Long Aotian away before, maybe the system prompted us to go to the two islands of Madeira and Las Palmas to find out!" ”
"Okay!" Having said that, who am I, who have already recognized the status of Captain Luo Fei, I also agreed to apply for the Spanish Navy.
"But captain, I still have to warn you that once in the waters between the islands of Madeira and Las Palmas, we will lose as much of the wages we paid to our crew for nothing less than the previous looting by pirates." I am very distressed to say.
"Who said I'm going to pay them for nothing?" Speaking of this, Luo Fei suddenly smiled weirdly.
。。。。。。
Three days later, ten ships of the Spanish Navy docked in Ceuta for supplies, and that day was the only day the navy recruited warriors.
But Luo Fei did not take who I am and who I love to accept the recruitment, on the contrary, he just asked me to visit the commander of the fleet, Marquis de Sanccos, with him with a Spanish bank voucher of 200 gold coins.
After getting off the flagship of the Marquis of St. Cos, who did I say her question to Luo Fei: "Boss, you spent 200 gold coins to obtain the protection of the Spanish fleet for a trade between the two islands of Madeira and Las Palmas, which is a convenient benefit for the Marquis of St. Cos, who was already there to exterminate the pirates, but I really don't understand why we did this. ”
"Do you think that the profits of the goods in these two small ports are limited, and even if we are lucky enough to rescue Long Aotianhe, it will actually do more harm than good to us to complete the task?" Luo Fei smiled and said what I didn't say.
"Sure enough, you still know this very well." Seeing Luo Fei being so direct, I was slightly stunned for a moment, and then stopped asking, but made a helpless statement: "Okay then!" Since this is the case, you still have to do it, there must be your reason, then I will listen to the captain! But will the crew agree? Especially if you've had one encounter with Barbarodin before! ”
"That's why we need to keep up with the Spanish fleet." Luo Fei pointed to his pocket, which contained a simple promise that the Marquis of St. Cos had written to him.
"It is impossible to buy ten battleships for 200 gold coins to escort the convoy, but I chose to give this money to the Marquis of St. Cos personally, and let you wait outside while talking, just for the secrecy of both me and him. When the time comes, we will only have to keep the Seagull behind the Spanish fleet, and the Marquis of St. Cos will neither expel nor speed up the distance between us and us! ”
"Then the only difficulty now is how to convince these crew members to go to the dangerous sea with you!" I was still a little worried and said, "Although the trade route agreement between us and the crew this month is no longer limited to Portugal and Spain, and this time we have the Spanish fleet to escort us, if the crew still does not agree, our 200 gold coins may be in vain!" ”
"It's okay, I have a way to get them to agree." Luo Fei said with great certainty to who I am.
。。。。。。
At dawn the next day, the fur-laden Seagull followed the Spanish fleet slowly westward towards the Atlantic Ocean farther west.
"Boss, your method is really powerful and direct." Who am I, Luo Fei, who was standing on the deck and watching the sea, came over with a ledger behind him: "Before returning to Ceuta, all the crew, including Oliver, were paid three times the salary, how could I be familiar with this method?" ”
"Haha, ego!" Recently, Luo Fei has become accustomed to calling me who I am and who I love is Xiaoai, because it is more affectionate to call me this way, and it is much easier to say than calling my full name. However, who loves who is obviously very depressed about being called Xiao Ai, and later Luo Fei changed to call him Xiao Ai, although he still doesn't like this title, but the lesser of the two phases, in the end, who loves who still accepts Luo Fei's title of "little who" to him.
At this time, Luo Fei was a little depressed when he saw who I was holding the account book, so he took the initiative to turn around and face her and enlightened: "The method is not necessarily the new method that is more effective than the old method. And I also promised Oliver not to let the fleet of the Spanish Navy out of our sight, so under the premise of a certain amount of safety, if you want to mobilize the enthusiasm of the crew, the salary increase must be the most direct way! ”
"But if it goes on like this, let alone scraping together 2,000 gold coins before the time limit, even our original 800 gold coins will soon be gone!" As the treasurer of the squad, who I am is still a few words inseparable from money.
"Don't worry!" Luo Fei patted her on the shoulder, and his eyes flashed and said, "Maybe we can make a big deal this time!" ”
