Chapter 373: The Promise of 100,000 Tons

Word spread that an armed merchant ship had wiped out a large nest of pirates, and on its way back from the port of Lordaeron to Dalaran, the Roka was never seen to suffer anything special - either thieves or bad weather. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Miss Loria's schedule was completely reversed, she always slept during the day, wandered around the deck at dusk with a parasol, and when the sun rose, she would retract into her room and sleep.

Most of the time, she practiced her magic on the deck at night, and by the time the ship unloaded at the port of Dalaran, reloaded with hilly specialties, and sailed into the waters of the Kingdom of Lordaeron again, she was able to control two ice arrows at the same time - though a closer look reveals that she could not really shoot two ice arrows at the same time.

Occasionally, when the boat stopped late at night, she would ask the crew to put the dinghy into the lake, and after riding it herself, she would summon her strange girly water elemental and wander with her in the lake for hours.

The second time the Roka docked in the harbor of Lordaeron, this time, after deducting various expenses, Loria only earned thirty-seven gold coins, as Sinbad said, good luck does not always favor the same ship, no matter how many gold motors you load, there will always be a day to kneel.

Luckily, Loria didn't expect to make much money from shipping, as long as she could break even, she would be satisfied.

This time, Loria received even worse news - Arthas had been confirmed to have appeared again, the county of Daron had fallen, and the undead who had once been in trouble in the north had invaded the south on a large scale, and the elven kingdom was the first to be destroyed by them.

At the same time, the orc shelters in Lordaeron are revolting one after another, losing the king and the main army has been transferred to the north to stop the undead, Lordaeron no longer has the strength to suppress the orcs, and wandering orcs can be seen everywhere in the hilly areas...... The Order of the Silver Hand lost almost all of its veterans, and it was officially reorganized by the three leaders into a new organization, the Scarlet Crusade.

Except for the relatively calm forests of the silver pines to the west, the land around Lake Lordamere is in turmoil, even in Dalaran.

The cold December wind blew across the lake, and the weather became very cold, and Loria had not been able to set foot on land for two months.

"This is Fenris Island."

Loria asked the navigator.

"Yes, miss, this is Fenris, the largest island on the lake."

The navigator checked the map to confirm, "We are in the northeast of the island. ā€

At Loria's request, the Roka soon anchored in a small naturally formed bay in the northeastern corner of Fenris Island.

"Captain Sinbad, I want to talk to you about a deal."

When the crew lowered the dinghy, Loria found the goblin who was dozing off in the bridge, "I want to transfer this ship, do you want to take over?" ā€

The goblins were awakened by Loria's sudden wayward speech, and two days earlier they had gone to the port of Lordaeron for the first time to sell a batch of herbs from the south, only to find that the entire harbor had been destroyed in flames, and they had no choice but to return.

"Miss Hillsbrad, this ...... This...... What's going on? ā€

Sinbad was as inarticulate as an honest minotaur, of course he wanted to have a boat of his own, and even if Loria didn't mention it, he was ready to leave in a few months - he had already received more than two hundred gold coins through the lake trade, and with a few more months of hard work, he might be able to buy a good boat.

By the way, after deducting all expenses, Loria netted four hundred gold coins.

"It's only been a little over two months since the ship was launched, it's still brand new, and I'm not going to take anything with me except the dinghy and two oars, four muskets, and the corresponding ammunition, how about it, Sinbad, are you interested in taking it?"

Loria asked again, so that Sinbad, who was sleepwalking, could hear clearly.

"But...... The ship...... My estimate is at least ...... I don't have that much money, Miss Hillsbrad. ā€

As if he had lost his racial talent as a bargaining master, Sinbad stammered, and even quoted a price very close to the actual valuation.

"I don't need you to pay even a single gold coin, this is my condition, you can consider it."

Loria slapped a contract on the table, "Twenty years from now, when I summon you, you must take your ship with you wherever you are...... or join me in the fleet, and I will pay you a fair fee, and I will not take advantage of you in the slightest. ā€

"This ......"

Sinbad hesitated, picked up the contract on the table and looked at it quickly, all the terms seemed very fair...... Loria's asking price was not low, and she demanded that the goblins trade their loyalty twenty years later for the three-masted galleon.

"How's it going, Mr. Captain."

Loria crossed her arms and gently tapped the tips of her shoes on the ground.

"I've never seen such a whimsical contract." Sinbad put down his contract and rubbed his eyes, "Twenty years later, I may have fed the fish a long time ago...... Do you trade the future for the opportunity of the present? ā€

Sinbad opened the drawer and found a random pen to sign his name on the contract, grinning with a big ugly green mouth, "I like this offer, and I will wait for the day when you summon me...... A monthly salary of one hundred gold coins per hundred tons of displacement, make good money, Miss Hillsbrad, and I will bring you a fleet of hundred thousand tons of displacement. ā€

Loria laughed too, and in twenty years the gold would be depreciated to the point of tears, and there would be no better deal.

……

The dinghy carried Loria and Elie Meow away from the Roka, oh, now it's called the 100,000-ton Promise.

"Why should I be thrown off the ship?"

Vanilla shrunk in the boat and shivered, she wasn't afraid of the cold like Loria and Elie Meow, the December weather was freezing her legs, "You'll continue to pay your salary, Lori!" ā€

"Why do you continue to be paid?" Loria stretched out her hand at the vanilla stall, "I'm no longer the owner of the ship, and I don't have an employment relationship with you, but I took you ashore out of kindness, and it's very good not to ask you for the freight." ā€

"What the hell is the shipping cost! After all, you were the one who tricked me into getting on the boat in the first place! You're responsible for me! ā€

"Elie Meow, throw her down."

"Wait, wait! Cute and beautiful Miss Loria, please forgive me! ā€

……

The 100,000-ton Promise lifted anchor and left, and Loria and her party also landed on Fenris Island.

Why did Loria choose this kind of place to land instead of Dalaran, which was relatively safe to the south?

Before she and Vanilla could tie the boat to their boats, some dwarf creatures spotted them in the distance.

"Meat! Fresh meat! ā€

A few rotting gnolls screamed and rushed at the three girls.

Perhaps that's why Loria chose Fenris Island. (Want to know more exciting news about Lori's World of Warcraft?)
