Chapter 62: Jack, the Bad Gambler
Just after Beichuan and his party were kicked out by the old man, a tall and thin man suddenly appeared outside the window, and I saw this guy flipping in with both hands on the edge of the window quite dexterously...
"Old Harvey, would you really leave that matter to them?" As soon as the man came in, he asked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The town elder sat motionless on the wooden pier with drooping eyelids, as if he hadn't noticed the man, but a whisper of annoyance came out of his throat.
"You goddamn liar! Next time, can you stop eavesdropping under my window! ”
The man shrugged his shoulders absently, as if he had become accustomed to the mayor's words: "Don't think I don't know, that girl is no ordinary person, it is the master of Herrosburg, the pearl of the palm of Harold Jar, not the daughter of a merchant!" ”
The old man was startled in vain, and immediately stood up from the wooden pier and said, "Dead liar! Where did you get this news from? As far as I know, the news is tightly sealed, and the whole of Tiha is known only to Lord Faun except me..."
The man sneered and said, "Since the incident in Idenjarr, what secrets does Tiha have in the eyes of us people?" ”
Hearing this, the old man sat back as if he was about to hit it hard, and the whole person was like a frosted eggplant: "Lord Eden, in fact, I am also at fault..."
"Cut, cat crying mouse fake mercy. All right! Don't get off the hook, why let those people go? Those people are obviously a bunch of rookies! The guy who was called a liar by the old man reached out and put his hand on the old man's shoulder this time.
The old man sighed and said, "Since the matter has come to this, I might as well tell you." In fact, Lord Harold's daughter was not kidnapped by ordinary pirates, of course, with your wisdom, you can guess the flaws if you think about it carefully, after all, it is Lord Harold's daughter, how can ordinary pirates have that ability! The person who kidnapped her was someone else..."
The man's face was shocked, and a name suddenly came to mind: "Could that person be..."
"Not bad! It's Nabal, the pirate leader of the 'Reverse Shark Pirates'! The old man said with a rare solemnity.
"Nabal! It's really him! Hasn't he been caught by the 'Bounty Maniac' Karin? He said in surprise.
The old man stood up and walked to the window, looking at him deeply, "That's right! Nabal was captured and imprisoned in Fort Coolin, but then the Bounty Maniac Kailin was tasked with rescuing Nabal from the Bounty Guild..."
"This madman! Did she want to be wanted by Nord? ”
The old man glanced back at the guy behind him: "At least!" Now Nod's nobody really wants her, because no one really wants to mess with this guy..."
"Who said that..."
For some reason, the man swallowed the words back when they came to his lips...
"That's it! Since it's Nabal, I think there's someone who can help you..."
"Who?"
"Gambler!"
...
After discussing it at the door of the government affairs hall, the name of the brigade was officially confirmed by Beichuan as 'Dark Crow', and the name was handed over to the mayor, who promised to help them change it in person after the case was filed.
Regarding that mission, Kitagawa also got the information given by the mayor:
There are more than 20 people, and the equipment is about the same level as ordinary farmers.
The nearest tip, now they are probably on their way to Hain Village, and they are expected to arrive in two days...
...
And at the moment when Beichuan received the information, the system also happened to give an emergency:
Mission 1 (Emergency): Free the hostages!
Difficulty: Dangerous!
Mission Details: You learn from Mayor Tiha that the daughter of a great merchant has been kidnapped by a gang of unruly pirates. At the cost of 70 gold coins, the mayor of the town entrusts you with solving this problem... (Note: You cannot leave Tiha's jurisdiction while this Unexpected Mission is not completed, otherwise the mission will fail.) )
Reward: Weak Health Recovery Flask*5 (PS: That's right!) It's the thing you think! )
Dangerous? Beichuan was stunned for a moment, with the current force of the brigade, some small troubles are still easy to deal with, is this dangerous assessment a bit excessive? Or is the mission level dangerous when you're on a mission?
And the evaluation system that has never appeared before is a bright spot, is the system always evolving?
After Beichuan read the task bar, Lancet proposed to buy some slaves to fill the ship's tight labor force, and the first mate's idea was quickly unanimously supported by everyone.
Since Ken and Balu had to buy daily consumables, and Liz kidnapped the Ringthunder brothers on the grounds that children shouldn't go to that kind of place, the purchase of slaves had to be left to the captain and first mate...
The gate of the Tiha Sapodol Casino
"Aren't we going to buy slaves, Lancet? What do you do in this kind of place? Kitagawa shouted.
"I want to say, this is actually an underground slave exchange, can you believe it?" Lancet looked at Beichuan and deliberately provoked.
"I believe," Kitagawa smiled.
"Hey! Captain, you're not bored like this..., it's really okay to take you, okay! Follow me! Lancet led the way through the door.
(I stopped here six years ago, but when I set foot on this land again six years later, the place is still the same, but I am the only one left with those companions...
But Captain, I have a new partner now... )
In Kallad, 'slave' is a very sensitive term, and in any country, this particular 'cargo' will be regarded as a strategic material as important as steel.
The huge profits of this industry can be seen from the private legal slave catcher group of Ramon, the largest slave trader in Tiha! But in fact, the Nord official has always been cautious about slaves, so although a large number of prisoners of war will be sold as slaves after each war, the price of slaves has always been high...
"Hello! I'm Jack! Jack, Brad, just now when my card told me that someone was going to make a fortune, I followed its instructions and found two adults! How about playing two games? ”
As soon as I walked into the casino, there was a fat man wearing a small gown in the style of Gounod, and he enthusiastically posted it.
Ranster frowned and was about to drive this guy away, but he was rotted by Beichuan, he didn't hesitate
"Lord Higgs, this guy looks like a bad gambler, let's not get infected!"
Beichuan smiled: "Let's listen to what he has to say!" ”
The fat man saw Beichuan stop the little eyes on Lenster's fat face, and he rolled around and smiled: "Hehe! Actually, it's secondary to play, my cards tell me you must be a captain! And this person next to him must be your first mate! ”
An imperceptible hint of surprise flashed in Beichuan's eyes: "Oh? How do you know? ”
"Hey, hey! Didn't you just say it all? That's what my treasures told me..."The man skillfully drew a stack of cards and played a few flowers, showing two of them to the two Kitagawa.
"King of spades, J of clubs?"
"That's right! K is the scepter, which represents the 'flame' and symbolizes authority, energy, and creation. J is the long axe representing 'qi', symbolizing violence, communication, conflict, spade is the element - water, plum blossom is the element - qi. When the scepter meets the long axe, and the water and air are combined, then there is only one kind of person..."The fat man's eyebrows fluttered.
"Boring explanation, you talk slowly by yourself! We still have to go beforehand..."The corners of Beichuan's mouth curled, and he turned his head and left...
"Wait! ...”
