Chapter 155: Business Comes to the Door
"Hey, hey. Akashi. What are you doing. If you desert, I won't take you out next time. Luke, who had waited for a long time and didn't see any movement from Serena, screamed a little frantically as he pressed his headset. On the way here, it was agreed that Akashi would be in charge of the ship's weapons and equipment. As a result, this guy didn't react at all now.
"Huh. I'm here at the ammunition depot for the naval guns. "Akashi heard Luke say he wouldn't bring her next time. I was a little panicked. hurriedly ran towards the command room. Luke could hear the crunch of the guy running away in his headphones.
"You guy. Drop the chain at a critical moment. Luke was speechless. The hand is already on the hilt. So many ship mothers. So many naval guns. Even he felt a little troublesome. He certainly wouldn't have any problems himself. But this old man Reutt is not necessarily.
"This is Yaji. I'll take a look at Akashi first. The gun doors of the ship's guns are deployed. Just when Luke was about to draw his sword and strike first. A calm voice came from inside the headphones. Yasu, who was guarding the cab with Agano, was sitting in the gunner's seat at this time. Control all the gun doors from the console.
"Oh. Then please. Akashi, that guy is really unreliable. "I heard Ya Ji say. Luke's heart sank. But the hand is still on the hilt. Just in case the other side of the brain pump shoots at them.
Disa looked at Luke, who turned around. I don't know where he's screaming, though. But he couldn't delay any longer. Jumping on the temples. The slight resistance of these shipwives one by one has put pressure on him to the limit.
If he drags on a little longer, he'll have to pass out. And there was no order from him. These shipwives don't act autonomously. If he passes out. I might be going to spend the night lying on this dock that doesn't even have a roof. It won't freeze to death at that time. But if you have a cold or something, you must have gotten away.
But just as he was about to give the order for a few shipwives to open fire. The Selena beside Luke made his jaw drop when he saw it. I can't even care about the throbbing pain in my head.
I saw the Serena's originally smooth hull. Square cannon doors suddenly unfolded. The sound of clanging and clanging was continuing. Echoing over the pier. Among the guns, a shiny metallic barrel protruded from within. Listen to the dense sound of motors turning. Disa's scalp tingled.
After those barrels came out of the hull. Qi Brush pointed to the location of Dissa. The Serena is a huge weapon of war. Finally showed her fangs.
The barrels of black holes pointed at themselves. Disa suddenly felt a twitch in his heart. Those barrels. Either one has the ability to take their own life instantly. The situation turned around in an instant.
He still didn't use his own life and the other party's desperate determination. See this. Immediately removed control of the ship's mother. The other side didn't seem to have any intention of going to war with him. Otherwise, these naval guns would have been able to destroy most of his shipwives in the first place.
On the contrary, it is on his side. He didn't even know how thick the armor of the completely unseen battleship was. The places where the cannon doors were opened were at least a meter thick. Even if the ships in his ship could pierce the armor at those muzzles. But at a cursory glance, there were dozens of cannons on this ship. And he only has less than ten battleships.
In this case, it is absolutely unbeatable.
Luke saw the shipwrecks beside this guy move the barrels of their guns one by one. The corners of his mouth smiled disdainfully. "Let's go. This guy didn't have the guts to open fire. With a wave of his hand, he turned around and walked towards the port area with Congyun and a few people.
Seeing the sneer on the corner of Luke's mouth. Disa only felt her head twitch. I can't wait to let the ship girls fire and kill this guy right away. But see the barrels that haven't been retracted. Immediately gritted his teeth with hatred. Took back control of the ship's mother.
Then I felt the world spin around. Hurriedly let the Nagato next to him support him. Gritting his teeth with a headache, he said. "Take me back to the Doge's Palace."
Two gangs of people, one in front of the other. After exiting the dock, they left in two directions. Reut turned his head to look at Disa. I saw that he looked weak. I couldn't help but shake my head helplessly.
Although I know that an institution in the north has been studying the ship and the deep sea. But they didn't expect that the first research result they came up with was this kind of thing. Oyodo, who was following behind Reut, saw his sadness for a long time. I was also a little worried about the future.
What will become of Star Island in the future? Reutte thought silently. Look at Luke as he walks ahead. Maybe this guy will have the ability to change the status quo on this island. I just don't know if he'll help.
……
Luke and the others walked over to a store that sold grain. I happened to see the shopkeeper sitting at the door of the shop. A sad look on his face.
"Yo. Boss. Do you have any rice here? "I looked at some of the grain that was on the front door. Luke raised his hand to say hello.
The shopkeeper, who looked to be quite old, immediately jumped up like an electric shock. "Yes, yes, yes." His eyes lit up, too. Luke looked at him like a wolf that had spotted its prey.
Ooh. It scared me. Luke was startled by the uncle who suddenly came up and took his hand. As for it. Why are you so excited? Didn't I just want to ask if there was food? How did he know. After Reuter left. A large amount of grain, which was supposed to be supplied to the governor's palace, suddenly became overstocked. The new governor did not seem to have any intention of buying food from him. The same is true for the shops selling vegetables next door.
Even though people who usually live in the neighborhood still buy food and food here. But in relation to the large amount of grain and vegetables supplied to the governor's palace. It's a small business that's nothing.
He's a good grain seller. After all, grain can be stored for a while longer. Even if it can't be sold now. The impact on him is not very great. But the shops that sell vegetables and meat are different. The large quantities of ingredients that have been shipped from the inland areas cannot be sold. They're going to lose everything.
Although it won't be ruined because of these things. But these losses will certainly not be painless for them as small business people.
"That. I'm going to ......," Luke just wanted to say how much he needed. I saw the uncle in front of me roll his eyes. Saw Reut.
"Total. Your Excellency the Governor-General. Immediately let go of Luke's hand. Got in front of Reuter.
I heard the shopkeeper still calling himself the governor. Reutt couldn't help but feel embarrassed. If it was before. He might still think the title was nothing. But now it sounds like it. I always feel so unnatural.
"Uh. Hehe. Lars. Long time no see. He waved his hand and said hello. How's business going? "I thought about it. In the end, I still asked such a sentence that was not suitable for the situation. After all, just look at Russ's expression. Business is certainly not very good.
Really. Reutte said this. Russ's expression suddenly turned grim. "Alas. You don't know, Governor. After you're gone. We, the small merchants who were supposed to supply the Doge's Palace, were suddenly in a bad mood. In the past, occasionally your shipwreck would come out to buy some ingredients or something. Now the shipwreck in the Governor's Mansion doesn't come out to buy anything at all. He shook his head and continued.
"And most importantly. The large quantity of supplies that was supposed to be delivered to the Governor's Palace at the beginning of last month. It's still sitting in our warehouse. No one wants to take it over. I'm okay. Other people's vegetables or something. If you don't sell it again. I guess it's going to rot. Russ shook her head. Said with a sigh.
"Hey. I said boss. Don't ignore whether I'm good or not. Let's talk about it later. It just so happens that I want all the ones you have that you can't sell. Luke looked at this and said a lot in one breath. And there is no intention of stopping. The shopkeeper who seems to be pouring bitter water on Reut. Raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.
"Oh. You mean. Russ looked back. He glanced Luke up and down. Asked with some uncertainty.
Reut saw Luke speak. Immediately said. "Yes, yes. We're here to buy something this time. I was also relieved. If Luke doesn't speak. He really didn't know how to interrupt this guy. Russ this guy. It's a well-known chatter here in Minato-ku. If you don't talk about it, you won't stop for most of the day.
"Uh. I still have a lot of inventory. Are you sure you can eat them all? Russ looked at Luke suspiciously. This guy in front of him is dressed in such tatters. The vest on my body is all leaky. He could see Luke's bare belly through the hole. Does this guy really have the money to buy things. But I'm not here to rob. But since the old governor has already said so. I don't think there will be any problems.
"No problem. I want as much as you have here. Tianjin wind. As he spoke, Luke hooked his finger at the Tianjin wind behind him. He looks like a rogue ruffian with villains.
Some speechless Tianjin Feng immediately stepped forward. Pick up the suitcase in your hand and hold it in your hand. Opened the buckle on the top of the box.
Russ's eyes widened. There was a neat stack of bills in the box. The fresh ink smells like fairy.
See Russ's expression. Luke suddenly felt extremely useful. He finally got a taste of being a big money. It's no wonder that so many people love cash. This feeling of opening the box and blinding the other person's eyes is really good.
Just when Luke thought Russ was going to agree to the next word, it was more than a business to let people come out and move the goods. Russ reached out and pushed Luke away. He shouted into the shopping street. "It's all out. There's business coming to the door. ”
