Chapter Eighty-Four: High! It's really high!
"Lord Thornton, why are we waiting here? The warship towed by Buloh is not here, huh? Jeff had some questions.
He didn't understand why Thornton had brought him to this little dock, shouldn't they go to the old warehouse at 131 Harbor Street and follow the secret passage to find the ship?
"Wait a minute, you'll understand."
Just as he was about to say more, he suddenly noticed a vague black shadow in the dark sea heading towards the abandoned dock.
When he got closer, he realized that it was clearly a huge sea ship.
The speed of the sea ship is getting faster and faster, and if it continues like this, it will definitely kill the two people standing on the pier.
"Thornton-sama be careful!"
watched the big ship rush straight over, but Thornton remained unmoved, and the whole person seemed to be a statue standing straight at the front of the pier.
As it got closer, the ship got closer and closer, and Jeff seemed to be able to hear the wailing of the waves as the huge pitch-black ship smashed the sea water on the bow, the cable holding the huge sail squeaked like a noose, and even the figure illuminated by the windproof bull's-eye lantern on the bow of the ship was lined with incomparably hideous, and the whole ship was like a beast that had just woken up from ancient times, and it opened its mouth to devour everything in front of it, which naturally included the dock where they were now.
Jeff, who almost died of drowning when he was a child, didn't dare to stay any longer, so he reflexively ran away.
But Jeff didn't dare to go far, Thornton deserved to die, but he had to at least get first-hand information to report to others.
Just as it was about to hit the dock the next moment, the whole ship miraculously stopped.
But the sea still rushed forward unwillingly, and wanted to sweep Thornton, a human who despised his majesty, into the waves and drowned, but unfortunately the pier was too high, and the sea water would only wet the soles of Thornton's shoes, and then he could only reluctantly return to the dark sea.
"Young Master Thornton is so daring!" The old blind man stood on the boat and gave Thornton a thumbs up.
Thornton wasn't surprised at all how the 'Blood Scorpion' found the ship that Blow had towed, and there were very few things that the old fellow in the Emerald City didn't know.
Thornton was about to get on the boat, and Jeff hurried over.
"Be careful, adults! This group of people is hiding, and I don't know if they have bad intentions. He didn't really think that the old blind would be bad for Thornton, after all, the act of waiting for the boat at the dock in the middle of the night looked like a meeting at the appointed time communicated in advance, but just now he ran alone but left Thornton behind, and now he is just showing loyalty to make up for the loss of his image just now.
Thornton paused slightly, then boarded the boat without looking back.
"Your Excellency......" Jeff hurriedly followed.
Stepping off the rickety board, Jeff saw Thornton talking to a bald man.
Jeff was about to step forward when an emaciated man suddenly stood in front of him.
"You are? You're the man you are today, how can you ......" Jeff suddenly remembered that the emaciated man smiling at him in front of him was not the same intelligence officer today? Thornton also confessed that he handed him the "Emerald City Important Personnel Information" today, how could he be on the ship?
But before he could finish speaking, he felt a cramp in his lower back, and then he didn't know anything.
Before he was plunged into eternal darkness, he faintly heard the bald man's voice in the blowing sea breeze.
"Young Master Thornton is really refreshing! ...... I've seen the chart, there's no problem, this person is a small gift from our 'blood scorpion',...... No money, haha......"
Under the moonlight, the ship, the Golden Grail, was speeding forward.
"Young Master Thornton, now that you're at sea, don't keep any of your backs!"
"Scared?" Thornton looked amusedly at the flattering old blind eye.
This old thing is really capable of bending and stretching, a dignified high-level professional, even if he goes to those great nobles who have been inherited for thousands of years, don't grovel so much, but in the face of his intermediate rookie, he is not ambiguous at all with a "young master", and it is really embarrassing for him!
"Why! Isn't this afraid that we don't have enough manpower, if we miss one or two small miscellaneous fish and leak the news, isn't this causing chaos for Young Master Thornton?! When the old blind man heard this, he immediately cried out aggrieved.
"You'll know when the time comes!"
"What a thing! I'm not afraid of that blind man, old dog! ”
"Hey, Boss!"
A strong man who looked almost two Thornton walked out, and he said yes but showed a large number of black teeth, only two or three dotted white teeth were embedded in it, and in this dark night one would give people the illusion that this person only had these few teeth.
"Full sails!" The old blind man waved his hand, but he really had the momentum of a sea giant.
"Okay."
"Full sails!" The old dog leaned his right hand to his mouth and shouted at the sailors on the deck, a voice that was as loud as that of a mage who had blessed [Amplification Technique].
"Full sails!" The sailors shouted as they pulled up the thick and heavy cables.
The huge sail was successfully lifted with the help of pulleys and headed for full speed towards the depths of the ocean.
"Young Master, let's just let that Calvin go?" Hyde's tone sounded dissatisfied.
However, Morey knew that this was the reason why he cared too much about these warriors of Red Leaf City, because he had been the commander of the Red Leaf City Garrison, and he had an unusual sense of intimacy with these city guards who were originally born on the garrison.
Although there are thousands of ways to lead soldiers, Hyde chose the most popular one among soldiers, and he regarded soldiers as relatives, not numbers that could be crossed out at will in books; He could name all the fighters and their birthdays, not the pre-war showmanship.
So when Elon's whip was whipped at the City Guard soldiers, Hyde would have hated it as if his family had been humiliated, and if it weren't for Morey, he would have slaughtered the crumbs on the spot.
Morey scratched his head, although Hyde served as the commander of the Red Leaf City Security Division and had seen all kinds of dark things, but as a high-level Warcraft Knight, sometimes those darkness took the initiative to bypass him, but Morey, as a "former young genius" of the Faist family, whether it was Eire's deliberate cultivation or acquired experience, he was exposed to more and deeper darkness than Hyde.
Calvin is indeed rude, but in the eyes of others, he just connived at his subordinates to whip Morey's domestic servant, if you want to hold on to this and shout and kill Calvin, I am afraid that the first to jump out to express dissatisfaction is the leader of the rest of the battleship.
The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, no matter which world it is, it is the same.
Of course, for a straight person like Hyde, this reason is too cruel, and Morey can only communicate with him in another way.
"Do you think Calvin is so strong?" Morey suddenly asked Hyde a seemingly unrelated question.
"He? Seeing that although his strength is high-level, his hands and feet are weak, and he retreats in case of trouble, and at first glance, he spends money to drink potions to buy blessings in the temple and is a pseudo-high-level. If you fight seriously, young master, it is estimated that you can kill him within ten moves! Hyde thought about it for a moment and gave his opinion.
"Hehe, then let me tell you that his mercenary team is B-level strength in the mercenary union, what did you think of?" Morey continued to smile.
It's comfortable for honest people to pat their ass! The intermediate-level ten-move kills the high-level, and those geniuses carefully cultivated by various organizations are nothing more than that!
"Someone behind him?" After all, Hyde had been the commander, and these twists and turns were all it took to get through.
"And it's not small!" Morey nodded, got up, and continued, "This Calvin is Thor, the tax collector of the Emerald City. Chakins's own nephew, who is mixed in the territory of Emerald City is not allowed to give him three points of face! ”
For this "reserved identity" Captain Calvin who refused to go to the banquet, Old York did not make a small report behind their backs, and they took the initiative to tell Morey.
"So we'll leave it at that?" Haide looked a little weak in his tone.
Now that Momiji City and Saber Fort are blockaded by Saganis City, the finances are tight, and Morey is an auction and a toss of the convoy, isn't it just to break the blockade of Saganis City? And the trade route of this Emerald City is an important part of it!
If this Thor does something out of it, he doesn't even want to come forward directly, as long as he shows a little emotion in front of his subordinates, those subordinates will be extra "careful and careful" in matters related to Red Leaf City, which is an almost devastating blow to the business of Red Leaf City, which is just starting out.
"Forget it? I wasn't going to leave it at that! Morey was still smiling, but Hyde could feel the chill behind him.
"While we were on the front lines, this nephew of Lord Thor was unknown. But we had just won the victory, and he came out and beat the families of the martyrs for no reason, he was jealous that we were too good to fight, and he still wanted to avenge the pirates! He has to give us an explanation for Red Leaf City! ”
Who wouldn't button a hat?! Since Calvin was able to give Morey a label of "privately dividing property", then Morey could return him to the charge of "colluding with pirates".
This Calvin is not blind to Morey, but there are countless pairs of eyes before seeing Calvin run away and dare not fight with the pirates, when the time comes, Morey's charge of "privately dividing property" can be gotten rid of at some cost, and this Calvin "colluding with pirates" is only afraid that it is not so easy to clean.
Once this public opinion is stirred, after that, as long as Morey leaks a little bit of rumors, I am afraid that this Lord Thor will personally carry this nephew with a gold coupon to ask for guilt.
"Will Thor admit it?" Hyde knew all too well that these officials were moth-eaten, and when that time came, Thor would definitely kick Calvin away and leave him alone. It's just a nephew, and if you throw it away, you throw it away.
"Does he dare? At that time, even if I don't let him go, which of his subordinates and his colleagues will let him go so easily! ”
Since Thor had been in such a wealthy position as a tax collector for so many years, his subordinates and colleagues must have coveted this position for a long time, but they had never been able to find an opportunity.
If Moreken insists on biting, then those people will definitely attack him en masse, and when the time comes, he will not even be able to save his life if he can save his life, let alone the position of the tax officer.
Even if Saul won't pay this "moral compensation", those potential "prospective tax officials" will send a lot of money to Morey!
"Young Master, your strategy is high, it's really high!" 'Hyde. Soup's thumbs up, a look of admiration.
"Haha......"
