Chapter 076. Old Moulton's laughter
The Outer Harbour was still in ruins, and the cruel and tyrannical thieves of the Ketuf River suddenly appeared, and the incredible looting and merciless fire did not surprise the civilians, who had long been in peace, and most of them had to flee in panic, and a small number of unlucky ones had already died tragically under the knives of the water thieves. In fact www.biquge.info what really caused the ruins of the Outer Harbor was the mob formed by the greed for wealth after the water thieves quickly retreated.
Chaos and disorder are the best breeding grounds for tyranny, and wealth is the best trigger for tyranny. The group of poor people who had been suppressed for a long time were devoured by the greed in their hearts, and those who looked down on them in the past were no different from them at this moment, and even when they picked up axes, iron pipes, and wooden sticks, they already had some kind of right to act arbitrarily. So they formed a gang, wantonly robbed, set fires, killed people and even raped, butchers, and firefights, etc., and finally turned the entire outer harbor area of Gray Mist City into a chaotic hell, and then finally turned into ruins with the invasion of flames, and also covered up the sins of countless people.
Not to mention the storm of last night, the howling wind and heavy rain also stained the entire outer harbor area black, the burned ashes were flowing everywhere with the heavy rain, and the mud and squalor on the streets were even more serious, even the orderly reconstruction work was a little difficult, and the only way to do it was to let the idle dock porters and coolies sweep up the ruins, and on the other hand, let the horse-drawn wagons from the outer city near the interior transport a large amount of brick and wood building materials.
Levi and the more than 100 Barbary pirates were walking on this muddy road, their half-worn cowhide boots stepping on the mud, and every step made a clicking sound, but there were few people who dared not intercept the road in front of them, because the group of porters and coolies who had recovered their poor appearance could not provoke Levi who looked extremely strong at a glance, especially the scimitar on his waist and the leather armor on his body, even if it was a ten-member patrol team of the city defense team, they all subconsciously turned towards the intersection next to them and did not dare to face it directly.
No one is stupid, and they don't want to cause any more trouble at this time, not to mention that Levi and the others are just walking forward quickly, and they have little to do with the group of terrified poor people around them. Because the corner of the street in front of it is also the Golden Cave of the entire Outer Harbor District, which is also the entertainment area for merchants and wealthy captains and sailors who have just arrived in Gray Mist City, which is also Levi's destination, because the Sea Lance Tavern is located in the prime part of this Golden Cave street.
The taverns and inns on this street are basically owned or directly opened by wealthy people in the inner city, and in order to deal with the sailors who drink and make trouble, there are also many strong and ruthless thugs. This arrangement also played a great role in the invasion of the Ketufu River bandits, and the thugs organized and led by the Sea Lance Tavern also stubbornly blocked the plundering of the group of water thieves, at least so that the gold cave of the Outer Harbor City has not been plundered, and it is still in a more unusual and prosperous business.
Levi and the others were still quite conspicuous, and on the simple watchtowers that had been built of wood on both sides of the street, two thugs with war bows quickly spotted them. A group of tavern thugs armed with steel rods and axes poured out, and there were also more than thirty people in charge of the entrance, and even with a few hurried whistles, more thugs with weapons rushed out of the taverns on both sides of the street, looking at this side with hideous faces.
However, the dozen or so thugs from the Sea Lance Tavern were stunned, looking at Levi, who was walking in the front, and the new faces behind, swallowing and spitting, they also looked at each other. The leader hurriedly greeted the surroundings a few times, and scolded loudly: "Are they all blind, that's Mr. Levi, our friend of the boss of Moulton, not the group of thieves on the Ketuf River!" However, as he spoke, his face was also a little embarrassed, and he still waved his hand at Levi in front of him, and asked very cautiously: "Mr. Levi, didn't you hear that you didn't go to sea the day before yesterday, why did you come back so soon?" ”
"I came across a little bit of a situation, so I came back to talk to old Moulton."
Levi looked at such a big battle in front of him, a group of thugs from various taverns and inns glared at him, couldn't help touching the tip of his nose, and glanced at the group of Barbary pirates behind him who were not afraid, and even smiled provocatively at the thugs in front of him, and also exhaled softly, shrugged at the still familiar sea spear tavern thug and said: "It shouldn't be necessary, let my sailors go in and drink some wine and relax." ”
"That's great."
The thug leader of the Sea Lance Tavern also breathed a long sigh of relief, the more than 100 people behind Levi were still quite deterrent, and they knew that they were not serious civilian sailors by looking at their provocative appearance. But he didn't care too much, anyway, Levi and Boss Morton had a very good personal relationship, so he shook his head helplessly at Levi, beckoned: "In order to calm the panic caused by the riots, the rum in the Sea Lance Tavern is now free to drink, although it is of inferior quality, you can also try it if you don't mind." ”
"Old Moulton's marketing methods are still good."
With a smile on his face, Li Wei also felt that this marketing method to promote alcohol sales and win back customers as soon as possible was excellent. Especially the drink cost of the group of more than 100 Barbary pirates behind him is not low, and now that there is free rum, it can also reduce a huge amount of expenses, at least Levi doesn't have to worry about the excessive cost of drinks today, anyway, this group of pirates from Barbary doesn't care if it's good wine, and they are already satisfied if they can drink for free.
The group arrived at the Sea Lance Tavern under the vigilant eyes of the surrounding thugs, and when they pushed open the familiar oak door, there were still guests inside, and it seemed that the riot of the Ketulf River thieves had indeed caused a great impact on the entertainment industry in the Outer Harbor District. However, in the shocked eyes of the group of waiters and bartenders inside, the Barbary pirates of more than 100 people behind Levi also rushed in quickly, laughing and began to greet the wine, and many people were still smiling there, looking at the waitresses with plump breasts, they directly began to tell some meat jokes, which also caused bursts of laughter.
With the influx of more than 100 people, the entire tavern suddenly returned to its former lively scene, and although the entire first floor tavern has not yet been filled, it seems to have become extremely popular. Of course, this group of Barbary pirates had also been warned by Levi in advance, and although they laughed unscrupulously, they were also teasing the waitresses around them, but the drinks ordered in front of them were all free inferior rum, all of which were self-entertaining boasts and jokes, and they were simply a group of cheeky people who ate white food.
"Hahaha, little Levi, it seems to be in good spirits."
It was still the same table and seat, and the old Morton, who was still sitting there, leaned back slightly, and saw that Levi was walking towards this side, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face. Waving his hand to this side, his mouth was also sucking in his pipe, slowly exhaling the smoke with a faint aroma of wine, and the whole person felt that something to be happy about: "Tell me, my dear Mr. Levi, how does it feel to be a gentleman?" ”
"I knew it, you must have known."
Looking at the old man smoking a pipe in front of him, Li Wei also walked over and pulled the chair opposite him and sat down, shook his head a little helplessly, and propped his hands on the table in front of him, looking a little more helpless. Levi opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't say anything when the topic came to his mouth, he couldn't help frowning slightly, his face couldn't help but straighten up, he looked at old Morton and said softly: "What to become a gentleman and become the lord of Cape Town, I feel a little incredible now. ”
"Cape Town?" Old Morton couldn't help laughing when he heard Levi's words, and the hearty laughter still came out of his mouth, and then he took two puffs of the fine tobacco in his pipe, and his gray bearded face was even more joking, and said with a smile: "If you think that your territory is Cape Town, it's okay, but the current Cape Town is not the bustling small port it used to be, and I don't know if anyone lives there in that ruin, otherwise why would you say that the canonized territory is a village?" ”
