Chapter 367: Goblins
The human boy leaned into Sinbad's ear and whispered, "Mr. Captain, the lollipop for Miss Hilsbride has been bought. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
"Well done! Luffy! β
Sinbad laughed and shouted, although he had never been able to remember the names of the crew, but he was still able to distinguish race and gender when he messed up the names, and this time he must have been in a state of excitement to call out such a strange name.
Of course, he was not excited by the lollipop, but saw the shiny gold coin beckoning at him, he took a few steps forward and yelled loudly at the merchant, "I got the news that your goods are unsalable...... My employer is a distinguished lady, she is not willing to consign goods for others, and it is impossible to cooperate with an unreputable businessman like you! Let's go, buy and buy! β
No one has ever said that they will sell the goods to you, so why is there no reputation...... Sinbad had his own calculus, and as a responsible professional captain, he had to worry about Loria's balance, which she had to pay for one hundred and fifty gold coins a month, plus the maintenance and depreciation of the ship, the wear and tear of shells and gunpowder, and the supply of food and fresh water.
Captain Sinbad had an agreement with Miss Loria that the captain would be solely responsible for the trade, and that he would share the monthly profits in excess of the three hundred gold coins.
Shipping costs for a hundred gold coins...... It's too little, and Sinbad has to take the cargo himself.
I don't know if the goblin captain was too skillful in acting, or the merchant was too eager to sell the goods, the latter hurriedly blocked the door with his body, he stretched out two fingers and gestured vigorously, shouting, "Two hundred gold coins!" Pay as you go! β
"No amount of money is lucky, rot here with your wine, you liar!"
The goblin captain shouted...... William, who followed him, pouted, no matter how you looked at it, his captain was more of a liar.
"Two hundred and twenty! Couldn't be any higher! β
"Sell me everything, my employer is a ......"
"You're a noble lady, you've won, damn goblins!"
β¦β¦
The merchant succumbed, he was in an overwhelming position in the negotiations, the goblin could go elsewhere to buy someone else's cargo, but he would hardly have another chance to encounter a ship with a large enough displacement in the port to swallow the entire cargo.
If you lose a little, you can only consider yourself unlucky, as long as you hold the gold coins, the opportunity will always exist...... And once he defaults on his loans, his life as a businessman will come to an end.
"Take it, you thief!"
The new wine was sold for one gold and twenty silver coins per barrel, and the old wine was sold for one gold and sixty silver coins, and the merchant took five hundred and twenty gold coins and gave four hundred barrels to Sinbad...... Instead of recovering shipping and storage fees, the merchant paid a lower price than the winery's purchase price.
"The old rule, overboard delivery! You are responsible for transporting the wine to the ship, and you must bear all costs and losses incurred during this period......"
Captain Sinbad was still chattering, and the merchant angrily counted out five gold coins and threw them on the ground.
The goblin captain pursed his lips, not caring in the slightest about the insult of the other party, and he bent down to pick up the gold coin, thinking to himself that the cost of carrying twenty tons of cargo would be two gold coins at most, if it was a bargain......
Manpower is quite cheap.
The one-armed goblin picked up the gold coins on the ground one by one, wiped them clean on the bow tie, and put them back in the money bag, "Lordaeron City is in chaos right now, and there will be plenty of opportunities there...... The opportunity to get rich overnight, do you want to go with the ship? β
Although he wanted to devour the goblin in front of him alive, the merchant still suppressed his anger...... The goblin was right, there were plenty of opportunities in the chaos of Lordaeron, and he should probably check it out.
"As a gift of cooperation, you can live in my captain's room without any additional cost."
Captain Sinbad grinned and showed a lot of teeth, he had already knocked out enough good from this unlucky bastard, and it didn't hurt to give him a free ticket, "It's chaos in the north right now, and going with us will keep you safe." β
"I have to go to the bank to repay the loan, and I have to prepare a lot of things......"
The merchant was obviously moved, and the three-masted galleon in the harbor could avoid a lot of trouble, and the scattered pirates did not dare to approach it at all, "When are you leaving?" What if you encounter a horde of water pirates? β
"I'll leave early tomorrow morning, and besides, my employer ......"
Captain Sinbad paused, and when the merchant thought he was going to call his employer the honorable lady again, the goblin said, "It's a magician." β
β¦β¦
Miss Magician had been hiding in the cabin trying to carve Elie Meow out of magic, and she didn't even go out to look at the wine when it was brought onto the ship, and after countless failures in a row, her model finally couldn't sit still...... Elie Meow jumped out of her chair and ran around the room with her hands raisedβshe wanted to fire, but Loria wouldn't.
"Anyway, let's try something simple."
Loria searched for a template in the room, and the dry wildflowers in the vase caught her attention, and she lowered the vase to the ground, and Loria began to try to turn the water in the pot into a flower...... It's a lot simpler than the ice sculpture Eitmesh, but she still can't do it, and after using up a whole bucket of lake water, she can still only condense an icicle.
It doesn't take much magic to condense natural water into ice, but Loria's magic is very little - according to Marley's instructions, she pours magic into her staff every day to refine and purify it, and the benefits that Mare says she has not yet appreciated, but the magic power is half less.
After draining her magic, she remembered that it was time to let the scenery out and breathe.
Pulling out the collar of the scenery from the cupboard, Loria stepped out of the room and headed for the upper deck.
It was late at night, and the noisy docks were rarely quiet, and when she walked up to the first shift, she saw William swaying on the deck with a man she had never seen before.
"Miss, this is our ship's passenger going to Lordaeron for business."
The young sailor explained, perhaps thinking that the goblin captain had gone too far, and he omitted that the other party was the original owner of the wines.
"I see."
Loria nodded to the merchant and ignored him, she walked to the side of the boat, poured the remaining magic into the collar, and threw it into the lake.
In response to the master's call, a cloud of water swirls around the necklace, and when it is about to fall to the bottom of the lake, the water elemental girl appears in this life.
Loria wondered if the water elemental plane was filled with water - maybe not, judging by the scene of the scenery swimming happily in the lake?
Scenery approached the side of the boat and waved her arms at Loria, as if inviting her to come down and play.
After thinking about it for a moment, Loria took off her shoes and socks, jumped off with her clothes on. (To be continued.) )
