The newcomer, Carpenter, said that he had no problem with it, and that he was going to continue working on the alloy recipe with the dwarves, and it seemed that his interest was no less than that of the dwarves.

"You know what! Traditional materials science, combined with magical substances here, is a completely new discipline! Countless new materials are waiting for me to research, synthesize! I'm going to make a name for myself here! The black buddy left with a fanatical face.

It's just that he forgot that the game has been available for many years on the Earth side, and I hope he can make more discoveries than his peers.

However, speaking of the Shadow Assassin, Xu Yichen still wondered why it had been three days, and there was no news yet. Won't you be caught?

Recently, the lord's guard is still very tight, because the original city guards are dead and wounded, and many of them are holy warriors who have been seconded from the major temples to support.

According to the news of the demon hunter Gangze, a whole group of holy warriors is about to arrive at the port, which was originally to suppress the possible outbreak of chaos infection in the city, but now that the problem is solved, it is changed to rest outside the city of Anthony Dagang, and then drive directly into the Black Forest to solve the opened chaos gate.

This was the tacit agreement between Antoine and the representatives of the Church, that the Church could build temples in the city, while the Port of Antonio was responsible for the logistical supply of the Paladins during the war.

In exchange for the Church's support for him to become lord of the Great Port of Antonio, and for the Paladins not to enter the city, but to repair in an old castle 30 kilometers outside the city.

"The old castle 30 kilometers outside the city, it sounds very familiar, Ma Dan, it won't be my territory, right?" Xu Yichen thought for a while: "It can't be so coincidental, right?" ”

In the evening, Ames? Captain Rockefeller didn't know where to find out that Xu Yichen was now living in the Thunderhammer Blacksmith Shop, so he came to visit Xu Yichen.

The two men chatted for a while, inquired about the current situation of Lower Sildo, and after learning that Sildo was currently looking for a place in the city to learn the basics, Captain Amus told him what he meant.

"Mistress Antoine sent someone to ask me about you the other day, and I thought you were in some trouble, except that you saved us. I was worried that my sailors would reveal any secrets about you, and I was relieved to hear that you had been rewarded by your lord before I could find any trace of them. The old captain sat on a chair and drank the hot tea that Xu Yichen handed him, which was a good thing from the dwarves.

"Today, Antoine sent for me again, saying that the lord would like to finance a ship for me, and asked me if I would like to be captain. I know that the lord will not be courteous to me, and it must be because of you, so I found you to see what you mean. Captain Emus squinted and took a sip of his cup of hot tea, being very cautious at such a time as an experienced captain.

Xu Yichen also has to praise Antoine's fat man, although he is not a good person, but he does everything in these things, as long as it is profitable, he is your best friend.

Touching the [Li Oumeng's Secret Treasure Chest] in his arms, Xu Yichen had a bold idea: "Captain, why don't I sponsor you, you will be the captain of me?" ”

The sudden invitation made Captain Emus think he had misheard: "You mean, you also have a ship?" ”

"Not yet, but I'm going to buy a ship, and I'm sure I have enough money to buy the ship in Antoine's hand." Xu Yichen looked at the old captain with a smile, but he was thinking about how to convince Antoine that his money had nothing to do with his stolen secret room.

The old captain couldn't help but look at this Seris again, although he knew that the young man in front of him was an extraordinary person, but he really didn't expect that in just a few days, this young man would accumulate such a huge amount of wealth.

Thinking of the thrilling experience of those days in the wilderness, the young man's speech and demeanor, Captain Emus stood up, meticulously sorted out his clothes, bowed slightly like Xu Yichen, and said: "I am honored to have your trust, and I am very willing to be your captain." ”

Soon, the two of them finalized the details of this matter, Xu Yichen will pay all the purchase costs of the ship, as well as the cost of purchasing the first batch of goods, and the old captain will be the executor, fully responsible for the purchase of the ship and the purchase of goods.

The old captain's only request was to select the sailors and other entourages on the ship himself, and Xu Yichen agreed. The only dispute between the two sides is that Xu Yichen wants to share the profits with the old captain in half, but Captain Amus insists on only receiving the same 20% of the income as before.

"Actually, I don't recommend you to buy Antoine's boat." Upon accepting the appointment, Captain Amus immediately stepped into the role: "As a vicarious lord of a colonial city, Antoine was a novice in the shipping industry, despite being a very enlightened commercial lord. In fact, the situation of the ship in his hand is very worrying. ”

Captain Emus whispered the last sentence after leaving, even though it was in Xu Yichen's room, as if he was afraid of being heard by others.

"Oh? Do you have any good advice? Xu Yichen knew that the old captain was not a purposeless person, and he didn't need to trade through Antoine, which saved him a lot of trouble.

This large amount of money is still used to purchase the assets of the parties, and the funder is still the only person who has recently entered and exited his treasure house, and it will be difficult for Antoine not to link himself to the theft of the treasure house in the future.

"This oriental drink is amazing, I can feel it warming my stomach." Captain Amus savored the tea leaves in his cup: "Now is a good opportunity to get your hands on a nice ship!" It was a four-masted Galen, the Kingfisher, and it was a good ship! It's a bit expensive, but it's well worth it! ”

Looking at the old captain with his eyebrows fluttering, Xu Yichen felt that he might have been aiming at this ship for more than a day: "Tell me about this ship carefully, why would someone make a move on such a good ship?" ”

Captain Amus restrained his feelings: "That's right, there were several cases of disappearance in the port area a few days ago, and there was a lot of uproar, including the owner and captain of this ship. It is said that they were inspecting the goods in a warehouse in the port area at the time, and disappeared along with the shipowner's eldest son and the warehouse guards. ”

The old captain's words reminded Xu Yichen of the flesh platform he had seen in the Chaos Crack before, and then thinking about those who were missing, he vaguely felt his throat dry and his stomach refluxed acid.

Although he is a battle-hardened soldier, there is a big difference between bathing in blood and bathing in the residue of the human body.

He and the samurai had a tacit understanding after the war, and neither of them asked about the whereabouts of the missing people, nor did they communicate with each other about the situation at that time, because they didn't want to recall these events.

"The owner's widow doesn't want to continue running the ship, and she plans to sell all her family property and leave here to live in Imbram in the Old World." Captain Emus felt that his new partner seemed to be a little uncomfortable, and enthusiastically added a cup of hot tea to Xu Yichen.
