Chapter 185: Conditions

He said he was going to go out and look for it, but Kraz's ass was stuck firmly on the stool, and he didn't mean to leave at all. However, Diego didn't take the goblin's words seriously, but as a sign of respect for the snake of the land, they walked over to Kraz and sat down.

"Swift, two glasses of Thunder Ale, I'm in for a treat!" Kraz raised his hand and shouted to the tavern owner inside the bar.

"What do you want us to do?" Diego asked straight to the point.

"There's an operation against the Bloodsail Pirates, and we need manpower, especially good ones like you."

"No, we're here to relax on vacation, not to look for work, and we're tired of the fights." Diego refused without hesitation, but he also indirectly reminded the goblin captain: they are not honest country turtles, don't think about forcing us to do anything.

"Hey, brother, don't be so anxious to turn me down, it's a job that's good for both of us, you get a lot of money, and we can keep the route safe," Kraz said warmly, pausing and looking at Diego and Masrae - he could tell at a glance that the two weary adventurers were not going to return to the north on foot, and that a boat was their most likely option, "You don't want to be ransacked by pirates when you leave by boat, do you?" ”

"But as a nobleman in the Stormwind Kingdom, I'm not short of money." Diego didn't seem to be at all moved, and he didn't feel that it had anything to do with keeping the route safe and that it was the duty of Treasure Bay.

The goblin was a little annoyed, he didn't expect this human to be so oily and salty, to be honest, if it weren't for the real lack of manpower, he would have already walked away. He weighed the chips in his hand in his heart and felt that it was better to have a showdown.

"Listen, human! I'm not a good persuader, but I'm sure you'll get benefits you never dreamed of if you join this operation. ”

"For example?"

"For example, well-equipped." Goblin said. He stopped Diego as he tried to speak, and continued, "This is not the best armor and weapons on the market. From the private treasury of the rich man Rivigaz! As the Governor of Booty Bay, he is bleeding profusely this time, and you should not miss this opportunity. ”

"Speaking of weapons, I'm very happy with my musket, and my friend doesn't feel the need to change his staff. As for the armor. We're going to have better ones soon. Please forgive me for not thinking of anything else needed. ”

Kraz was about to say something, but just then, the tavernkeeper came over with two glasses of ale and slammed them on the bar, the foam in the glasses splashing high, and then falling back into the glass with a sharp drop. I have to say that this hand is so beautiful that most bartenders can't play it.

"Kraz, you already owe me fifteen gold coins. When will it be settled? The tavernkeeper asked, dissatisfied.

"Hey, Skinder, I'm getting down to business!" Kraz shouted dissatisfied, "I'll talk about you later." ”

"I just want my money, give it and I'll leave." The tavernkeeper said stubbornly.

"Alright, alright, man, I'll pay you back, I'll be here as soon as I get paid next month." Kraz rolled his eyes and said helplessly.

Having received the quasi-letter, Swift finally stopped pestering. Left satisfied. Relieved, Kraz turned back to see the two adventurers looking at him with distrust on their faces.

"Wow, looks like your credit isn't great, man." Diego said jokingly, glancing back at Masrae, "Maybe we shouldn't have accepted this offer." ”

"Oh, of course not, my reputation is notoriously good in all of Booty Bay?—— you can ask Skinder if Captain Kraz has ever done anything bad like withholding bounties. Hey, Skinder? ”

He turned his head and shouted at the tavernkeeper.

"What else would you like to drink?" Skinder walked over and asked very unenthusiastically.

"Sue them, how is my reputation?" Kraz pointed to the adventurers.

"Not bad, I mean, I haven't heard of any other debt to you other than fifteen gold coins owed to me."

Captain Goblin's face was as dark as the bottom of the pot: "Hey, I'm talking about business, I serve Rivigaz, did anything go wrong?" Has it ever damaged the business reputation of the wealthy people? ”

"Well, not really." The tavern owner said it honestly.

"Alright, Skinder, bring me another dwarven spirit," Kratz's face finally cleared, and he turned back and smirked at the adventurers, "Did you hear that?" I'm not representing myself, I'm Mr. Rivigaz's justice officer! ”

"But I don't see anything in you that impresses me." Diego took a sip of his glass and said.

"Alright, alright, guys, stop torturing me, just say what you want, don't let me guess." The goblin said impatiently. He could see that these two adventurers were not determined not to accept the job, the key was to judge what they wanted, but he was really not good at guessing people's hearts, otherwise he would not have run to be the head of the guards. You know, in the eyes of the goblins, the status of a guard is almost as far away from the entire Endless Sea as the respected big merchants, even if he achieves the position of captain of the guard.

Diego was tempted to say that he didn't want anything, but in the split second before he spoke, he suddenly remembered his territory, remembered the port of Long Beach, which was under construction, and then he thought of his conditions.

"I need a boat!"

"Huh?" The goblin captain froze for a moment, and he looked at Diego in disbelief, as if to make sure the human wasn't joking. But Diego looked at him with a smile on his face with a "you heard him right" expression.

"Do you know how much a boat is worth?" The goblin captain shouted a little hysterically, "At least 10,000 gold coins, large ones or even more, do you feel that you two are worth so much money?" ”

"No, I don't need that kind of big warship, in fact, I can't afford it, I only need a small ninety-foot sailboat for my territory." Diego explained.

Although as the territory of the Storm Kingdom, the Port of Long Beach was protected by the Kingdom after it was built, but far water could not quench his thirst, and he didn't want to ask for help when others came to the door, so the Port of Long Beach must also have enough strength to protect itself. In fact, before leaving Moonstream, he had asked Duke Berval to purchase a small warship from the harbor dockyard of Stormwind, but it was not approved.

"That's at least five thousand gold coins. With this money, I can hire the strongest orcs in a squadron. ”

"No, no, I think you got me wrong, I mean, I want to buy it to get it, you just need to build it for me."

Kraz finally calmed down, in fact, the dockyard in Treasure Bay has always accepted outside orders, but recently for the construction and maintenance of Treasure Bay's own fleet, these external orders have to be abandoned. This is a big loss for the Goblin Hot Sand Group, otherwise they wouldn't be in such a hurry to eliminate the Bloodsail Pirates and get Yiqiē back on track.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I don't think I have the authority to make this decision, but I can help you relay your request to Rivigaz. ”

"I'll wait, but we should be leaving soon."

"I promise, you won't have to wait long."

Finally with this done, Kraz relaxed, and he took his glass, toasting the adventurers frequently, and recounting some interesting things that had happened in the harbor recently. The three of them burst into a burst of laughter from time to time, and to be honest, if they didn't know the truth, they would definitely think that these people were old friends.
