Chapter 007. The joy of returning

However, the helmsmen and sailors still dutifully steered the dexterous Devo merchant ships under them, and there was already a conning tower on the dock in front of them, and a special person was responsible for guiding the ship's course by waving flags. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 With the conspicuous flag on the long pole, Levi's Devo merchant ship gradually sailed into an empty dock, and the helmsman and sailors cooperated skillfully, slowly stopping the ship less than three meters from the wooden pier, and the whole ship came to a safe stop after lowering the heavy iron anchor.

"Ten small silver coins for docking, send it to the greedy guys on the conning tower."

First Officer Green had already taken the lead in standing up, looking at the impatience of the sailors and passengers, he seemed quite calm at this time. After flipping through his notebook and taking a quick glance at the tasks he had already arranged, he nodded to Levi, and at the same time stretched out his hand and pointed to the sailors around him who were waiting for orders, and said loudly: "At the same time, remember to ask ten of our poor brothers to help unload the goods." First Officer Green was still talking, his face was slightly solemn, and he said in a warning tone: "Remember to help our poor brothers when they are working, otherwise you will give me a week of confinement if there is one less bucket of herring!" ”

"Understood, First Officer Green!"

The sailors also nodded their heads, and at the same time, the three guys on the side had already propped up the thick planks half a meter wide, which were used as ramps across the side of the ship and on the dock, which was deliberately raised almost at the level of the ship's side. And they who had already arranged the task, and immediately quickly got off the merchant ship with a clear division of labor, and took the money to pay the stop fee and recruit temporary porters. However, they also quite clearly stood by the barrel full of herring, carefully counting the number to avoid any accidents.

And they have been living here for more than three years, and they can understand that the squatting in the clearing, rags and ragged porters, always like to sneak something at some point. In fact, many of them are related to the Rotten Algae Gang behind them, and although they are the oppressed part, they are not reliable civilians either. And once a merchant is careless, this group of chaotic guys will turn the goods into a secret trick, which is very clear to First Officer Green and the sailors.

The barrels were filled with fine fresh herring, representing Levi's experiment of a new way of making money, but there must be no mistakes because of the small mess. Every day in the most chaotic outer harbor, the shops and bazaars in the Gray Mist City have already arranged for people to wait here, as long as there is still time, I am afraid that these delicious and fat herrings will be snapped up immediately. After all, for the residents of Grey Mist City, who are still relatively affluent, these delicacies will not be refused.

"Gentlemen, this is the end of this journey with surprises and without danger."

Looking at the sailors who had already begun to get busy, Levi also turned around. The passengers were already holding their packages and preparing to get off the ship, and he clapped his hands and motioned for them to come over, with a bright smile on his face, and said: "Of course, if you are willing, you can completely brag to the friends around you that we have repelled the attack of hundreds of Kou Tao Fishmen together, and we have also killed twenty or thirty Kou Tao Fishmen together!" ”

Levi's words immediately drew laughter from the sailors, causing the people on the surrounding docks and merchant ships to look in this direction. On the outboard of the Devo merchant ship, there were still obvious traces of blood that had not been washed and brushed, and the group of people who saw this scene were all solemn, and they knew that this was the mark left after a terrible battle. And the guy who had been in Gray Mist City for a long time saw that it was Levi's ship, and his eyes were a little more clear and a little awe-inspiring.

After chatting happily with Levi for a while, the travelers said goodbye to Levi with respect, walked up the thick ramp to the dock, and walked towards Grey Mist City in groups of friends who knew each other. After all, it is a home that has been away for a while, and although there are various opportunities and dangers on the sea, it is also worth looking forward to enjoying the warmth of the family and the prosperity of the Gray Mist City at this time.

On the docks, the sailors who had gone down to recruit porters had already led their men to this side, and although they were all dressed in rags and not very strong, the price of these porters was quite cheap, and twenty barrels of fresh herring were carried to the makeshift open storage for only ten small silver coins. Of course, it's all given to the docks, and it's a good thing that these poor poor fellows can get eighty percent of it.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Levi, and before he has the strength to make rules, it is undoubtedly a wise choice to be a law-abiding small businessman with peace of mind. And turning his head to see that the sailors were almost finished, Levi couldn't help but nodded, the command level of the first mate Green still reassured him, and now he didn't need everyone to help here, he also clapped his hands and said to those idle sailors: "The old tradition, divided into two groups, one group of people watch the ship for a day!" ”

"Hooray, Captain!"

When they heard Levi's voice, the sailors who had been impatient for a long time laughed and raised their hands in cheers, all of them looked at each other and winked their eyebrows, especially looking at the buildings at the end of the temporary warehouse in the outer harbor, and they couldn't wait in their hearts. Although they came from the Arabian Peninsula, life on the sea was not very faithful, or since they became sailors, the so-called faith was not as good as a glass of ale.

"In that case, I'll be in charge of the basic procurement and goods trading today."

First Officer Green nodded on the side, and he didn't have much idea of wanting to indulge after arriving at the port, but turned his head to look at the young sailors, stretched out his hand and nodded a few more calm guys to stay, and then nodded lightly to Levi: "Just contact those merchants in the South Roaring Sea, and dispose of all our loot cheaply." After a pause, he also sighed slightly: "The actual value is not much." ”

"Dispose of it as soon as possible."

Thinking of those loot, Levi's face couldn't help but change slightly, and he still turned his head and nodded to First Officer Green: "It's okay to shoot cheaply, after all, it's captured loot, and it doesn't really have much to do with us." However, as he spoke, a touch of gold in the velvet money bag could not help but appear in his mind, and subconsciously reached out and pressed the pocket next to him, and the hard feeling still appeared on his fingertips, making him frown, and leaned over to the side of the first mate Green and whispered: "Be clean." ”

"Understood." Although he didn't know what was going on, looking at Levi's very cautious appearance, First Officer Green still noticed the secret, but his eyes swept over the noisy docks around him, and the ragged porters also began to carry the barrels under the supervision of the sailors. However, the first mate Green nodded imperceptibly, still took a few steps forward, and continued to beckon and direct the porters to begin to work together to carefully carry the fresh herring.

"Something really awkward."

Clenched his fists, Levi could still feel the hardness between his fingers, but the golden light made him extremely solemn in his heart. Levi always felt that something was wrong with the delicate ornamentation on the silver-plated tableware, but it was nothing more than trophies, and as long as he gritted his teeth and made sure he didn't understand the velvet money bag, he didn't know anything. After all, when First Officer Green threw his money bag, the passengers gathered at the bow of the ship, and no one noticed their small movements.

With a slight dry cough, Levi turned his head to look at the sailors who still had expectations on their faces, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned into a smile, even if it was an enemy, if he didn't want to, he had to ask the scimitars, muskets, and the three 7-pounder guns in the hands of this group of young men. And in this world where thermal weapons are not very developed, although three 7-pounder guns cannot compete with those regular naval warships, the average guy can not withstand a few shells. Taking a deep breath, Levi gestured to the grouped sailors and said, "Then let's go to the outer harbor to find out the information first, and give me some cleverness!" ”

"Don't worry, my generous captain, no one will pity those little girls."

The nine sailors he had ordered suddenly had excited smiles on their faces, of course they knew what Levi meant by the inquiry, and of course they would do it quite conscientiously. However, in the tavern where the news is most widely circulated, order a glass of wine and drink it slowly, or call a few tavern waitresses who can provide special services, and you will know more information. This is a very common channel for news inquiry, but the question of truth or falsehood has to be judged by yourself.
