CH.29 Prey
Donk has always been generous, he treats friends to eat well when he has money, and when he doesn't have money...... You can invite your friends to a bully meal.
He took the woman to the restaurant, intending to ask for something. He was used to talking about things at the wine table. He said that he was going to sell the woman to the Jiyuan, but he was just talking casually.
The people sitting around were either businessmen or aristocrats, all of them dressed appropriately, and their eating movements had to be properly handled. There are also elven minstrels' minstrels, playing a small song, very engaging.
The people at the table were a little abrupt in this environment, especially this woman, who wore a round hat with feathers, red and white lacquer on her face, animal skin clothes, a pair of pretty legs under her short skirt, and shoes made of plants.
The women are dressed in a typical indigenous style.
"Eat, let's talk about you after eating." Ignoring the etiquette of the meal, Tonk gulped down a steaming steak and pushed a plate of fish stew to the woman.
The woman was actually very hungry, but she had no appetite at all, and asked eagerly, "Can you help me?" β
Donk waved his hand and feasted on himself. The woman looked very bitter and sad, so she had to eat it too, she tasted the delicious food, and the hunger in her stomach was stimulated, and she ate much faster, which caused the surrounding nobles to look sideways.
The plates on the table were stacked in a large stack, Tang Ke crossed Erlang's legs, picked his teeth, and spit out a voice between his teeth: "Let's talk about things." β
The woman finally waited for the words, and told the story about her and Neam in fits and starts.
Her name is Hualu, and she is the second daughter of the patriarch of Starfish Island. The island is named in a very simple style, women are called flowers, seashells, etc., and men are called tuna, sun, etc. As you can see from the name, the folk customs there are very simple and backward.
Three months ago, an epidemic broke out among the inhabitants of Starfish Island, and the patients would have dark spots all over their bodies, and it would not be long before they died of pain. This disease has a long history, it was ravaged once a hundred years ago, and the number of deaths was as high as millions, and it was called the black magic disease, but fortunately, an elven alchemist who knew various pharmacological specialties invented a special medicine, which stopped this disaster.
Neham's pharmaceutical factory has mastered the method of mass-producing this drug, and he has a monopoly on the circulation of this drug by his power, so the people of Starfish Island can only buy it from him. Neam raised the price of medicine so high that the residents of Starfish Island could not afford it at all, so they could only exchange it for valuables such as pearls and crystal fish horns, but this was not enough to make ends meet, and there were still a large number of residents who could not be treated.
In order to beg Neam to lower the price of medicine, Hualu's sister traveled thousands of miles to come here in a small boat, but was deceived by Neam. Neam took a fancy to Dew's sister and tricked her into exchanging ** for drugs, but afterwards, Neam broke the agreement and sold Dew's sister to the Black Triangle.
Seeing that her sister has not returned for a long time, Flower Dew repeats her sister's mistakes and ventures to Port Carlin to ask Nerham for help, hoping to lower the price of medicine. In addition, she also wants to find her sister.
She inquired in many ways that Neuham's merchant ship transporting medicine was about to go to sea, and on the way it would pass through Starfish Island, exchanging low-cost medicines for high returns.
After speaking, Dew looked at Donk eagerly, expecting help.
"Ding! You have inspired a Raid mission aimed at looting a caravan in Nyam for a reward of 2000 bonus points. β
Now that he heard the system prompt, Donk was no longer surprised, in fact, he was already tempted, even if there was no task reward, he decided to clean up Neham's caravan, if nothing else, just to look at Neam unpleasantly.
Donk turned to One-Eye and asked, "How much do you think you can make on this deal?" β
Neham once threw Cam with an egg. One-Eye had always held a grudge against it, and he wanted to kill Neuam more than Donk. One-Eyed licked his lips like a beast and said, "Medicine is very profitable, and I have a way to find a market." After doing this time, we can buy another ship, and in that case, the strength will be much stronger. It's just that Neham is not so easy to grab, and he has several large armed ships under his hands. β
Buying a ship and arming it is extremely expensive. Such a reward for a raid is already considerable.
"Is there a merchant ship in the world that is easy to rob?" Donk didn't care. Due to the rampant sea monsters, even merchant ships have to be equipped with firepower, and many pirates will die in the hands of merchant ships, which are not lambs to the slaughter.
The meal was finished, and the matter was finally finalized, Donk said goodbye to Hualu, paid for the meal, and got up to leave.
Flowerdew hurriedly caught up with Tang Ke and asked, "Can you help me?" β
Donk didn't look back, walked forward without saying a word, and answered Dew with silence. One-eyed didn't feel inappropriate at all, and continued to play the role of carrying the bag.
Flowerdew stumbled after her, and Tonk and the others deliberately wanted to shake her off, so they walked fast. She couldn't catch up no matter how much she couldn't catch up, so she was so anxious that she cried.
The cry was sad, and Tang Ke was upset when he heard it, and frowned: "One-eyed, if you remove the medicine that saved these islanders and use the rest to sell, can you still buy a boat?" β
"Captain, you're a pirate." One-Eye reminded.
It is not pirates who rob the rich and help the poor, but thieves. One-Eye doesn't care if Don Ke is a little worse and ruthless, but if Don Ke is a good guy all over the world, he will be depressed.
"If she keeps chasing us to the port, I'll help her." Tang Ke said lightly.
One-eye's face became a little embarrassed.
The two of them were still walking quickly, and Hualu gritted her teeth to chase after them, and the distance not only did not close, but gradually drifted away. Blossom tripped over a raised floor tile, and she lost her strength and couldn't get up from her stomach on the ground, so she was so anxious that she cried.
Donk glanced back and saw that the dew was gone, and he shook his head casually. Seeing that the tail had been shaken off, the two of them had returned to their normal pace, and talked about how to rob Neham.
One-Eyed is an old pirate, and he proposes a trap-based raid scheme, which is a common tactic for pirates, but it is still tried-and-true. After hearing this, Donk thought that this trick was quite detrimental, but it was very much to his liking.
The two of them walked to a quieter street. Donk heard a limping footstep and felt a little strange in his heart.
"Please, help me! I know you two must have a way. β
It turned out to be the voice of the flower dew.
Donk hurriedly looked back and found that Blossom was limping after him.
One of Hualu's ankles is swollen and her face is stained with tears, she is very weak and likes to cry at every turn, but she will not give up in order to save the lives of her people. In her eyes, these two people are the last ray of hope.
Donk glanced approvingly, and he was impressed by the toughness of the other party.
"What are you pestering us for?" Donk asked with a smile.
"I feel like you can help me." Hua Lu said.
"It seems that a woman's sixth sense is not very good sometimes. Aren't you afraid that I'll sell you? β
"Sell it, sell it, I have no way out anyway."
"If you're not afraid, then come."
Donk went over and held on to Dew so that she wouldn't walk shaking.
"Youβare you willing to help me?" Dew asked excitedly, grabbing Donk by the sleeve.
"I'm trying to sell you."
Donk didn't tell the truth, making Hua Lu uneasy, and he felt like he was on a thief ship. In fact, the woman's sixth sense is still very accurate, and soon Hualu is really on Tangk's thief ship.
Tang Ke couldn't walk fast even if he was holding Hua Lu, so Suo took Hua Lu on his back and carried the big sword in his hand. He felt that the flower dew was not as heavy as a big sword, it was light and fluttering, and his chest was like a small flower bud, clinging to his back, and the touch was not very strong.
They soon came to the harbor and found the Black Pearl, and to his surprise, the sailors were divided into two groups, one in which they were discussing in full swing, and the other who were crying loudly there, which became a strange situation of ice and fire.
When the sailors saw Donk, they gathered around and talked nonsense, but Donk was confused.
Donk put down the dew, grabbed a loyal old sailor, and asked what was going on, who gave him a newspaper and pointed to a report in the corner.
This is a maritime newspaper, a newspaper issued by the Greenland Empire, which is full of news about navigation, including the movements of the navy, pirates, and merchants, and this kind of newspaper has witnessed one major event after another at sea.
Following the sailor's instructions, Donk saw the report, which was not too big or small.
"The Black Toad Pirate Regiment declares its anger, and the newcomers of the Eastern Pirates are mysterious!"
