CH.112 Isolated Island Negotiation
"Look what kind of ship they are, and if they have any of those deformed shapes." Donk bred up his spirits, unhooked the small telescope on his waist, and looked towards nine o'clock.
"Two small ships, two medium-sized ships, one large ship, all armed ships, but nothing special was found. There should be no magic ship in it. Flower Dew reported crisply.
If it weren't for the Demon Ship, the three ships of the Dragon Pirates would have been able to win without any suspense. Donk was a little more confident, he smiled a little, and said, "They brought a good dish." ”
"Are you going to war again?" Flower Dew said worriedly that she didn't like to fight and kill, and she liked the peaceful way of life on Starfish Island.
"Probably not, it depends on their attitude." Don Ke reassured, "Don't worry, our side has the advantage, even if there is a fight, I will guarantee your safety." ”
Flowery knows that Tonk won't put her in danger, but she also feels sad to see the pirates in her regiment injured. It was a very moment, and she didn't say much, but continued to observe the enemy situation with her binoculars and report what she had observed.
By the time the fleet got closer, Donk himself could see the situation clearly, and the fleet that had arrived here was carrying the family crest of the Gern family, confirming that it was undoubtedly here to save Tyke. On the large ship at the head, the flag bearer waved the flag of peace negotiations.
In order to seek wealth, Donk ordered his own standard-bearers to do the same. If the other party obediently sends the money, he is willing to follow the agreement, Raotek will have a small life.
The two sides exchanged flags in silence, and then the fleet of the Guerns side moved, four of them anchored in place, and only one small boat sped towards the narrow shallows.
This lonely shoal is small and perfect for meeting and negotiating.
Fearing that it would run aground, the Guern family's boat approached, and then lowered a smaller paddle boat, on which more than a dozen people were seated, slowly approaching the shoal.
Tang Ke had the handle of the other party in his hand, so he naturally did not have stage fright, and took more than a dozen people and rowed a boat to the shallows. He brought with him all the backbone of the regiment, including one eye and one ear.
Both sides arrived on the shore almost simultaneously and walked head-on.
After Tang Kedang got closer, he secretly used the investigation technique to get a clear understanding of the other party's background. The dwarf at the head is called Borot. Gern, he must be a member of the Gwen family, and he may have a direct blood relationship with Tyke, but he is not a combat profession, but an ordinary businessman.
In Boroth. Behind Gunn is a group of combat professional elites! All second- and third-order classes, including gunsmiths, swordsmen, and martial artists.
Tang Ke's heart was bumpy, the opponent's personnel lineup was stronger than their side, but fortunately, he had the chip of Tek in his hand, and the other party did not dare to come easily. He whispered: "Be careful later, the dozen or so people on the other side are not simple." ”
One eye and one ear answered, and their faces sank like water, and they were on guard.
The two sides stood still at a certain distance, looking at each other vigilantly, like two wolves meeting on a narrow road!
"I'm Borot. Gern, is Tek. Son of Gern. I'd like to talk to you individually. The leading dwarf shouted.
Donk knew the dwarf's background, and he was more at ease, if it was to talk alone, he had nothing to fear.
"Okay! Go ahead! Donk agreed.
The two left their line and continued on until they came face to face. The two of them were still some distance away from the group behind them, and the voices of their voices would not be heard.
The sand beneath Donk's feet was soft, and the smell of the sea blew into his nostrils. He looked at Borot up close, and found that the other party was very calm, and it seemed that he was also a person who had seen the world.
"Where's my money?"
"What about my father?"
"On the boat behind me."
"It's right in the back."
The two of them asked in unison, and the other replied, and Don Ke was a little embarrassed. This kind of theatrical answer eased the atmosphere a little.
Donk looked down at the dwarf, and then said, "I am a trustworthy pirate, and if you do what I say, you will be able to get your father, who has suffered a little, but his arms and legs are basically intact. ”
"The rest of the family said that 100,000 gold coins was too much, so they only agreed to give 80,000 gold coins and asked me to bargain. But I made a different decision from my family and brought 100,000 gold coins with me. Borot said calmly, as if he was not afraid of the pirates in front of him.
The other party's words were strange, and Tang Ke squinted his eyes and said, "You made a smart decision, if you don't bring 100,000 gold coins today, Tyke may have to have something less." ”
Borot remained calm, unfazed, and continued, "I can give you the coveted gold coins, but our trade will change a little. ”
"As much as I hate it when you're here to talk to me about the conditions, you can talk about it first."
Borot hesitated for a moment, closed his eyes, as if making a difficult decision, and said as calmly as possible: "Our transaction has changed, I want to buy a corpse with these 100,000 gold coins." ”
"What do you mean?" Tang Ke had the feeling of a cloud and mountain fog cover.
"I mean, let those 100,000 gold coins go from ransom to hard work. You pirates work hard and help turn hostages into corpses. Borot said gloomily.
These words took a turn for the worse and took a completely unexpected turn.
Tang Ke was surprised, his brows twisted into twists, and asked in disbelief, "What do you mean?" Buy a corpse, do you mean...... Let me kill your father? ”
"Yes, you heard me right, that's what I meant. Let him disappear from the world. Take advantage of this great opportunity you have created. After Borot said this thought, his eyes became more determined, and now no one could change his cruel thoughts.
Donk's eyes widened, and he re-examined Borot in front of him, if he heard correctly, Borot seemed to want to kill his father!
And it looks like Boruot isn't playing tricks, because that won't change the situation of the deal. As for the joke, it is even more unlikely, because of this dangerous joke, Tyke is likely to die.
"Could it be that you weren't born to him?" Donk can only think of this plausible explanation.
"I was born to him, and as for the reason why I did this...... Bo Ruot obviously didn't want to say it, but if he didn't say it, he couldn't dispel the other party's concerns, "It has something to do with my grandfather's death." ”
"Go on."
"I grew up with my grandfather, who raised me with love, and he was the most grateful and beloved person in the world. But I was under the bed, and I watched my grandfather being taken away by people like you, and then they demanded a ransom. Borot recalled bitterly.
"Tek said the ransom was out of his reach." Donk remembered that Tyke's father had been kidnapped.
"No!" Boruote's face flushed with excitement, and his beard trembled, "He can afford that ransom!" But he didn't pay and watched my grandfather's head being delivered to the front of the house! He killed my grandfather! It was he who watched my grandfather be killed for a few stinky money! ”
It dawned on Donk that it was the story of his grandson who wanted to avenge his grandfather, so he wanted to kill his father! It can only be said that this world is so crazy that history is like a circle, which coincides with each other under the arrangement of the devil.
Tyke watched his father die at the hands of the kidnappers because he was stingy with money, and today he has also become a prisoner of the kidnappers and has been pushed to a dead end by fate.
Borot didn't like Donk's surprised expression and continued: "I have a very strong relationship with my grandfather, and that incident hit me very hard, causing me to hold a grudge all the time. That's why I'm going to kill Tyke with you. ”
Already cleared things out, he raised his hand, shook his finger and said, "I'm not interested in your tragedy at all, but I've found another problem, since you want to kill your father, why bother with it?" It is only necessary to refuse to pay the ransom and we will tear up the ticket ourselves. ”
"The problem comes from the pressure of the rest of the family, and if I don't pay the ransom to it, my family will question it. This matter must be done without leakage. Borot explained.
"If you want to kill your father, why wait until this time to do it, wouldn't you save a lot of effort if you did it yourself?" Donk didn't even realize how cruel his topic was.
"In fact, I planned it once, but it failed, and my father almost got the hang of it. After that, I didn't dare to act rashly. It wasn't until you kidnapped my father that I had this idea back on my mind. "Is there anything else you can't figure out?" ”
"Tsk, the so-called tiger poison does not eat children......"
"Needless to say, a pirate who kills without blinking an eye is not qualified to say such things."
"Pirates can't do you like this, please don't discredit the word pirate, we pirates pursue to be bad and honest." Donk desperately wants to distance himself from the bastard who has the courage to kill his father, because of the difference between a bad guy and a brute.
"I said it because he was unkind first, and he killed his grandfather first, otherwise I wouldn't have treated him like this." Borot became angry and tried to add weight to his scale and make his behavior more reasonable.
Donk glanced at Borot with disdain and asked with cold water, "I have one last question, if Tyke dies, who will inherit his family property?" ”
Bo Ruote was stunned for a moment, feeling that he was running out of words. He was silent for a while, tore the last mask on his face, and said in a low voice, "That's right, his family property will be left to me in the end." ”
Although Tyke dies of old age normally, Borot can also inherit the inheritance, but the problem is that the life span of the dwarves is as long as three hundred years! Borot couldn't wait, so he made this decision.
Tang Ke has also seen a lot of things in the world, but this kind of person who can even bear his biological father can do it, he has seen it for the first time. However, he didn't care about Tyke's life or death at all, and other people's parents had nothing to do with him, he just wanted the heavy 100,000 gold coins!
"We still have something in common when it comes to dealing with Tek, we all want to kill Tek. It's a good common denominator and should get us to a good deal. Donk swept away the look of disdain just now, he was not a moral judge.
"Good. Mr. Pirate, here's what we're trading about. I'll give you all the 100,000 gold coins, and you give me the dead Tyke. In the aftermath, you have to promise to keep your mouth shut. You have to understand that 100,000 gold coins is already a lot of money, and remember not to be insatiable. If you push me too hard, I can do anything. "Borot no longer calls Tyke his father, but treats Tyke as a trade-in.
Donk considered the other party's proposal, but he found a problem, if he killed Tyke early, would the other party still give him money? In the end, this transaction still has to exchange living people for gold coins.
"I can't kill him before you give me the gold. With a handle in my hand, I can trade with peace of mind. Don't worry, I have a knack for stealing, and when the gold coins are in hand, I will naturally fulfill your ambition as a son of man. ”
"You've got to keep the deal, and I'm going to have to trade with peace of mind!" Borot blew his beard and glared.
"So how do you make a deal?"
"Alright, I'll send the gold to this shoal, and you send a corpse here. We pay with one hand and pay with the other. ”
"It's a good idea, but it needs to be changed." Donk smiled inscrutablely, "What I send to you will be a living Tyke, and his life and death will be handled by you." Also, I will only hand over Tyke to you when 100,000 gold coins are in my hands. Last but not least, the masters behind you are not allowed to show up during trading, they have to stay on board. ”
With a few words, Donk swept away all threats, and the deal became completely under his control. Although Bo Ruot did not agree at first, Tang Ke did not let go, and in the end the transaction could only be carried out according to the rules set by Tang Ke.
After the two finalized the agreement, they stepped back face to face and returned to their own team.
Borot had already bought off his father's bodyguards, and the ships were also his henchmen, so he only had to inflict a small wound on his body and let the two ships be sold in other ports, and when he returned, he could lie that there was a conflict in the deal, that Tyke was killed by the kidnappers, and that he escaped by chance.
Donk returned to the Sky, and he ordered not to tell Tyke the truth, but to knock Tyke unconscious. The purpose of this is to make Tyke die in a daze, so that he will not die too sadly at the hands of his son, and it will not be good to turn into a ghost.
This is also a kind of mercy on the part of the pirates.
