Chapter 135. The refreshment of the Hurricane Mercenary Regiment
The old silver city of Little Silver Island is famous in the North Trumming Sea, and the free city-state is also a neutral port, so anyone who does not break the law can live well in this small trading city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Not only the nobles of Grey Mist City are happy to buy some unsightly things here, but even the pirates who gather in Crash Bay are said to regularly disguise themselves as merchant ships and come here to sell some loot or buy a large amount of daily necessities, and there is nothing between them, and it has to be said that this black market has a unique charm.
Most people can distinguish the reality, in this black market where everything can be bought and sold, there is a huge amount of interest involved, and even the agents of the nobles and pirates will happily trade some unseemly things, and when they meet in other places the next day, the two will fight to the death, completely fighting for their lives.
In the black market of the old silver city, everyone had a pleasant conversation, and even went to the tavern for a few drinks, just because they had interests with each other, and if they saw it outside, they were enemies, and both sides understood this relationship very well.
However, most of the businessmen, but also only buyers and sellers, most of the two sides are willing, if you think the value of the money, then the two sides will trade happily, if there is a disagreement, then there is no need to leave immediately, not like the regular market for half a day.
Just like the burly bald man now, touching his smooth head, he also chose to inspect the goods on the spot, after all, the fraudsters in the old silver city are also endlessly refreshing the money bags of fools.
"These short knives are nice and of very hard quality." Looking at the wide-backed short knives of the Ketuf River thieves on the ground, this burly bald man also had a somewhat satisfied expression on his face.
This short knife similar to a hand axe is suitable for close slashing, and the frequency and strength of the chopping are not comparable to the hand axe, in the hands of the Ketuv River thieves, it can even slash four or five times in a short time, and the poorly maintained or poorly made shield can be smashed alive, which is definitely a good weapon for hand-to-hand combat.
"Mr. Green, something suddenly came to mind."
The burly leader of the Hurricane Mercenary Regiment, Willard, had a happy face, reached out and picked up a wide-backed scimitar and slowly tossed it in his hand, this feeling of weight also made the joy on his face more and more intense, turned his head to look at the first mate of the Green Clan, and said as a reminder: "At that time, you said that you would sell it to us if it was cheaper." ā
"Of course, we all talk about it."
First Officer Green also smiled, he knew a lot about the character of this regiment leader Willard who looked honest and was actually quite shrewd, shrugged his shoulders and didn't justify it too much, just stretched out his finger and pointed to the iron-clad armor, nodded and said: "If Willard Captain can eat them all, it doesn't matter if it's a discount." ā
Levi, who came over, also stood quietly on the side, without saying anything, after all, First Officer Green has been mixed in various ports in the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean for decades, and he is already familiar with trade, and he is much better at it than him.
Willard, the leader of the Hurricane Mercenary Regiment, had a happy face, put down the heavy wide-backed short knife in his hand, picked up another piece of iron-inlaid armor, looked at the blood stains on it that had not been wiped clean, raised his eyebrows slightly, and his fingers sipped the dark red liquid, and the appearance that had not yet completely solidified made him shrug his shoulders: "Hmm, new? ā
"If you need it, take all the 200 big silver coins."
Without answering his question, First Officer Green still had a faint smile on his face, and he picked up a leather armor and shook it gently, the leather armor inlaid with iron plates also represented excellent defense, and also showed First Officer Green's confidence: "Seventy percent of the new goods, what do you think?" ā
"These weapons and equipment are exactly what I need."
Willard didn't hesitate, he nodded directly and agreed, these are completely in his psychological expectations, and they are much cheaper, although they are second-hand goods that have been used, but for them who have just come to the North Roaring Sea, these equipment are simply a charcoal in the snow, and they must definitely eat them all.
He walked quickly to the side of the ship, stretched out his hand to greet the dozen or so mercenary members who were still waiting on the shore, and those mercenaries who were still wearing shabby clothes also walked up with happy faces, and directly began to carry the weapons and armor that had already been prepared on the deck.
At the same time, Willard also took out a bulging money bag in his arms, threw it directly to First Officer Green, and nodded to Levi to express his gratitude: "If you have any needs, you can contact our Hurricane Mercenary Group in time, although we look a little embarrassed, but our combat effectiveness is not to be said." ā
"You used to be soldiers?"
Levi nodded, looking at Willard's burly and strong body, as well as the efficient command of the group of mercenaries, he couldn't help but be slightly puzzled, and asked, "Looking at your appearance, it is not comparable to that group of scattered mercenaries." ā
Willard and the mercenaries who were still carrying things also looked slightly gloomy, but the burly bald head still sighed, shook his head and said helplessly: "I used to be a soldier from the South Roaring Sea, but of course it's not now." ā
The words paused, and his face also showed a little indifference, but there was also a look of resentment in his eyes, and he snorted coldly: "Those damn bureaucrats, sooner or later, there will be a sad day." ā
The group of mercenaries under him around him also snorted coldly, but they all had sad and indignant expressions on their faces, obviously there were various reasons for this, but they all held it in their hearts and didn't say it.
In this regard, Li Wei had to shake his head, and did not comment too much, the two of them were only a short-term transaction, and in-depth understanding often aroused vigilance and unnecessary suspicion on both sides.
However, looking at their shabby clothes and burly bodies, except for some elite troops who are well-nourished, it is impossible to raise such a group of guys, after all, this is a backward feudal era, and if you want to eat well and cultivate a strong and burly body, it costs money.
"Maybe a bunch of deserters."
First mate Green flipped the money bag, and the weight unique to that big silver coin was also calculated in his heart, and after confirming that it was indeed 200 big silver coins, his face lost the smile and conversation of the previous transaction, and he just said flatly: "And I don't have much experience as a mercenary at all." ā
"It seems that the South Trumming Sea is quite complicated over there."
Shrugging his shoulders, Levi looked at the dozen burly bodies that were carrying weapons and armor and were walking towards the warehouse, and he also turned his head and asked, "What about the prices of those construction raw materials in the market?" ā
"Go to the Senge Chamber of Commerce to see, the price gap between the two sides will not be too big, after all, it is just some raw materials."
First Officer Green shook his head, obviously not expecting much from the black market. Low-priced timber and stone are usually materials that can be purchased in the formal market, and most of the so-called timber and stone in the black market are relatively precious, and it is estimated that ordinary gentlemen cannot afford them except for the big nobles and big merchants.
This is almost a luxury, after all, the best scarce wood, and the seemingly luxurious stone, but the nobles' favorite material for building their villas, and the pomp and circumstance of competing with each other will make them in short supply of this building raw material, but it is not suitable for Levi at all.
What he needed was the most ordinary wood and stone, and even these basic building materials didn't matter if they were even almost, because the current Levi couldn't directly rebuild the entire Cape Town, and it would be enough to build a real fortress that could support it for years without collapsing with the help of the outline of the temporary fortress and the original dock of Cape Town.
"Wait, it's almost time for lunch."
Levi looked up at the sun in the sky, which was gradually drifting overhead, took out his pocket watch from his pocket and looked at it, the hands that were close to eleven o'clock also represented the arrival of noon.
This is indeed the time for lunch, even in the old silver city, there is a lot of light smoke, and with the sea breeze blowing, a faint smell of bread baking also comes, it seems that the bakeries in the city are already open, and good bread is served.
Devo Mall had its own reserves, of course, and the sailors could also act as Ottoman chefs temporarily, beckoning two sailors to go ashore to buy some fresh vegetables and meat, and they were going to have a good meal today.
All this is in charge of the first mate Green, Levi, who only rested at three or four o'clock in the morning last night, is still a little tired, and it is also time to rest after lunch at noon, so he can also sleep well through this short two hours to make up for the fatigue after yesterday's battle.
"Just call me when lunch is ready."
Levi casually commanded, and walked directly to the room in the cabin, lying on his wobbly hammock covered with blankets, but Yu Guang suddenly found that the things hanging on the pillar next to him were tightly wrapped in linen, and there seemed to be nothing mysterious, but it made Levi a little stunned.
This is the staff of the seizing of the female elf caster, wrapped in linen and hung on the pillar of this cabin before leaving, and I didn't pay attention to it because I was tired and busy at the time, and now I suddenly remembered this thing.
