Chapter 101: The Cursed Captain
Yacoste and the others followed the young man named Hood around the humble dock area, eventually stopping at a shady alley.
"Brother Goode, Brother Goode, a nobleman has come to you! We're going to be developed! ”
Before they could enter the house, the young sailor cheered excitedly, and seeing his happy appearance, the four of them could not help but be slightly infected by this cheerful appearance.
The half-elves followed the boy into the dilapidated room.
A pungent and unpleasant smell of alcohol filled the room at once......
And this smell seems to be emanating from a drunken middle-aged man lying in the center of a chair, holding a wine bottle in his hand......
"Isn't he, is he really reliable?"
Lavis asked Acoste in a slightly embarrassed whisper, and the half-elf swordmaster was also a little helpless, but he still nodded at Vier, and the vampire queen stepped forward and snapped her fingers.
The middle-aged man who was called Goode and couldn't wake up his brother no matter how much he called him immediately sobered up......
In fact, Wei'er didn't do anything, but Wei'er, who was good at mobilizing the blood of mortals, made the other party's blood, which was paralyzed by alcohol, flow again, which was just a piece of cake for legendary-level vampires.
"Who are you?"
As soon as he woke up, Goode looked nervously at Acoster and a few outsiders, and asked with a little guard.
"Don't be nervous, I heard you've been to Yongju Island? Is that really the case? ”
Acoste pulled a chair and sat down, even if it was in someone else's house, the half-elf didn't know how to write the word polite.
"Yes, I once drifted to that island because I was shipwrecked, but what does that have to do with you?"
Goode's face was even more ugly, especially when he said the word shipwreck, if he didn't know that he would not leave even if he said the word "get out", he would have given the order to expel the guests.
"Of course, I have something to do to go to Yongju Island, this is your honorarium, you only need to be in the West Hartland area, or in the Northlands, the West Gate City on the Dragon Coast, in the cold lands, you can use this check to go to any chamber of commerce to withdraw a total of no more than 10,000 gold coins."
Acoste didn't care whether the other party agreed or not, and threw a check first.
Now with the strength of their territory, more and more merchants have come to cooperate with him, not to mention the checks opened by the half-elves, it is still no problem to circulate half the continent.
"This ......"
The down-and-out captain's breath was noticeably short, 10,000 gold coins was enough for him to organize a small fleet on his own, but Goode was clearly not carried away by the large sum of money.
"But outsiders aren't welcome over there!"
"You don't need to worry about it, you just need to be responsible for sending us over!"
"But I'm a captain cursed by the goddess of doom, and even then you're willing to hire me?"
"Hehe, that's really unfortunate, I'm still a person who has been blessed by Lady Doom, and your curse can't affect me at all."
Acoste said with a smile, not caring about the curse Goode said......
In fact, he was not targeted by the Doom Lady as he said, he was also a god anyway, how could he be full and had nothing to play tricks on a mortal?
Among the people who ran the boat, anyone who went out to sea and encountered a shipwreck but was able to come back alive without dying, would be considered to be cursed by the goddess of doom, because the goddess of doom did not want him to die, but wanted him to live to suffer more torture.
Goode is such a sad captain, he used to have a beautiful and sturdy ship and dozens of brothers, but during a voyage to sea, he encountered a giant beast of the deep sea, the dragon turtle!
This kind of overlord in the sea is equivalent to a dragon in the sky, so that Gude and the others are almost helpless, and a ship is torn to pieces by the other party in less than a minute, and they all fall overboard.
Thinking he was dead, Goode wakes up to find himself in a treehouse, and the person who saved him is none other than the High Elves of Eternal Island......
After a few days of recuperation, the High Elves sent him back to Baldur's Gate, but his seafaring career was ruined.
The fleet he had worked so hard to run was gone, and he was disliked by all his employers, who considered him an unlucky man with bad luck, and no one wanted to hire him to go to sea......
Until today, another opportunity was placed in front of him......
"Well, if you insist on hiring me, I'm willing to go to sea!"
A glint flashed in the eyes of the decadent middle-aged man at the beginning, he should have been a dead person anyway, so what else could he worry about?
"But with all due respect, if you want to get to the high sea, you have to prepare a ship large and strong enough to deal with the waves and possible bad weather, you also have to recruit at least 100 experienced sailors, prepare food for at least 2 months, and ......"
Now that Goode was ready to make a comeback, he quickly became professional, but before the middle-aged captain's advice was finished, he saw Acoste make a stop gesture.
"I don't know much about the professional knowledge of navigation, you see that I will give you another 50,000 gold coins to prepare, do you think it is enough?"
"50,000 gold coins? ……”
Goode gasped, he hadn't seen a local tyrant before, but it was the first time he had seen a person like Acoste who could take out 50,000 gold coins without taking a breath.
It seems that I met the real boss today......
"Of course it's enough, it's not enough money, you just need to give me 40,000 gold coins and I'll be able to get it all."
"It's okay, I'll give you 50,000, the extra will be your commission, and if you don't have it, you will subsidize yourself, I'm a person who looks at the results, you should know that if you don't meet my satisfaction, the consequences will be very serious."
The half-elf sword master narrowed his eyes slightly, and he didn't see any movement from him, and the entire simple wooden house suddenly let out a soft pop.
"I'll give you two days, and then let your brother, Uh, Hood, come to the Mariner's Pigeon Tavern to find me!"
Eventually, Acoste pulled out another check and slapped it on the table, and then left with Lavis and without looking back.
"Wow, my brother is so scary in front of me, I thought I was about to be killed for a moment?"
Hood patted his chest after the other party left, and said with palpitations, it was really terrifying when Acoster squinted his eyes just now.
But Goode ignored his brother, and he got up and rushed outside as if he had thought of something......
Hood was a little puzzled, and he followed his brother outside the house......
Then the two of them were speechless in astonishment......
Because in their field of vision, their two-story room has changed beyond recognition, except for the living room where they are, everything else has become a ruin...... (To be continued.) )
