Episode 95 Dragon
After Anrui paid the money, the deal was completed, and both parties got their money, with Anrui getting the pardon and Bernie getting the money.
The deal deepened the relationship between the two parties, changed their positions, and from then on, there were no more contradictions between the two parties. In the next chat, the atmosphere between the two sides was obviously much lighter, and there was no more aggressiveness before.
During the chat, Bernie intentionally or unintentionally asked Anrui about his background, asking Anrui's occupation and identity background.
An Rui is well aware of the benefits of staying mysterious, of course, it is impossible to tell the other party his old truth, and for all kinds of temptations and inquiries, he will pretend to be stupid and not answer directly.
In the end, Bernie still couldn't figure out the details of Anrui, so he had to give up.
After this, Anrui invited Bernie to stay for dinner, but the latter refused on the grounds that he was busy with business.
Sending Bernie away, An Rui completely relieved his heart, and the aftermath caused by the bloody bath of Bront Mansion was finally completely erased.
Once you've got out of Brent's trouble, you can now focus all your attention on going to sea. In the days since, Anrui has been visiting the shipyard every day to check the progress of the shipbuilding. In the meantime, he finally had an idea and came up with the most suitable name for the ship.
Dragon!
The new ship has a bow statue made of keel, so it's best to have a name related to the dragon. And Anrui's career has just started, and he is about to soar. Considering the two together, the name of the new ship came into being, and there is no more appropriate name than this one.
An Rui was very satisfied with the name Longteng, and after telling everyone, it was unanimously agreed by everyone, and the name was finally finalized.
The name Dragons was soon engraved on the side of the new ship. With a new name, the feeling was suddenly different, as if it had been given a new life.
As the date of going to sea approaches, it is time to start purchasing new goods. An Rui knew that a route to sell weapons was very profitable, and he had already moved his mind to sell weapons, but now that the ship is available and the funds are available, it is time to buy goods. He bought a large number of weapons and hoarded them all in the hotel he had chartered.
Fine Iron Island is rich in fine iron, there is no other local thing, there are many fine iron products, especially weapons, the workmanship is quite excellent, you can reach the level of black iron at will, and there are not a few higher levels, as long as you have money, you can buy it.
An Rui spent a lot of money, buying low-grade weapons such as black iron and bronze, and packed several large boxes. If he could go to a particular port he knew and sell all these weapons, he would be able to sell them for more than three times the purchase price, and the income would be considerable.
Only this level of profiteering can enter his eyes, and he doesn't bother to do it at all if he makes less money.
With enough cargo, Anrui then began to recruit new crew members and sailors, and spread the word that he was going to recruit people through the various taverns in the port.
Because An Rui had just washed the Brent Mansion in blood not long ago, he had already become famous and was rumored to be in the open. The name is no longer unfamiliar to those inside the port.
Anray Stark, this has become synonymous with strength!
The person who can wash the Brent Mansion in blood is definitely not simple and trustworthy.
Since you want to go to sea, of course, you have to go with powerful people.
Fame helped Anrui a lot at this time, attracting many people to come to him to ask about the treatment of crew members or sailors.
Anrui is familiar with the local treatment, and in order to recruit talents, this treatment has been slightly increased. If you meet those who have real skills, you will be given more superior treatment according to the corresponding talents. However, his financial resources are limited, and the treatment he can offer is also limited, so it is difficult to beckon a crew member who is too high-ranked.
After many days of hard work, Anrui recruited nine crew members of various occupations, including helmsmen, surveyors, lookouts, sail controllers, cooks, repairmen, etc., basically covering all the important duties of a ship. With these crews, it is enough to drive a ship to the ends of the earth.
As for the sailors, a lot was also recruited, a total of more than two dozen were recruited. The Dragon is just a small ship, it doesn't need too many people, and there are enough of these sailors.
The new ship has been built, the cargo and the crew are also available, and everything is ready.
The day of going to sea has finally arrived!
An Rui found a local soothsayer, paid for an auspicious day, arranged a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new ship on this day, and then officially set sail the next day.
In the past few days near the ribbon-cutting day, An Rui is in a state of extreme excitement every day, and even laughs when he sleeps. His dream is to become the overlord of these seven seas, and now he has finally taken a crucial step towards his dream.
Unfortunately, Anrui did not expect that a crisis was approaching him, about to disrupt all his plans.
……
On the surface of the sea, the black waves are rolling, and the starlight is reflected on the waves, reflecting a little bit of cold light.
Ten ships sailed through the night sea, turning black waves and illuminating the sea in their passes through their gunwales. If you look closely, you can find that in front of the flagship led by this fleet, there is a special mammoth elephant skull as the bow statue, which is very vicious and domineering.
Even at night, the ten ships still carried their flags, and on the black flags, the skulls of orcs wearing horned helmets were drawn. But anyone with a little insight will be able to recognize that this is the banner of the Viking orcs!
Most pirates work as a team, with the exception of Vikings. Almost all of the Vikings were pirates, and they weren't a pirate group, they were a pirate race!
The orc race has always been known for its barbarism and brutality, and the Viking race is the most barbaric and brutal existence in the entire orc race. Some Vikings still retain the habit of cannibalism even today, which shows how terrible it is.
The leader of the fleet, Bai Ge, stood at the bow of the ship, his feet on the guardrail, his white, scarred face smiling, looking at the lights of thousands of homes across the sea. After many days of sailing, the fleet finally arrived at its destination, Jingtie Island, which is now located in the port opposite the fleet, which is the most famous port on Jingtie Island.
The purpose of Bai Ge's trip was twofold, one was to take away the unlucky merchant's property, and the other was to repair the damaged ship. Last month, his fleet had a clash with another fleet, several ships were shelled, and many places were seeping into the water and needed to be repaired. These two purposes should not be difficult to accomplish.
Just as Bai Ge was thinking like this, a small boat came across the sea and caught his eye.
When sailing at night, it is very obvious if the portlight is lit, like a firefly falling on the surface of the sea, fluttering with the swaying of the sea.
Bai Ge's eyes lit up slightly, showing an expression of interest, if this was a lone merchant ship, he would be happy to grab it, anyway, he couldn't sleep now.
"Looks like a ship is coming, dear." A soft female voice sounded from behind, and then a pair of soft arms wrapped around it, hugging Bai Ge from behind.
Bai Ge felt two extremely soft things behind him, which was very comfortable, and the smile on his face became even richer.
"Yes, I saw it too, and I hope it was a ship full of gold and silver treasures." Bai Ge smiled, explored back with his right hand, touched his wife's soft thighs, and moved towards the root.
Bai Ge and Gasha, the orc couple, were making love and talking about the oncoming ship, which was very pleasant.
The orc lookout standing on the lookout looked at the ship across the street through a telescope, constantly reporting on what he had observed.
Interestingly, the ship seemed to be prepared, and the white flag was raised in the distance. It can be seen that the people on this ship wanted to negotiate with Bai Ge, and they did not rush to get together.
Although Bai Ge has done a lot of evil, he has always acted in a measured manner and will not act brutally. Since the other party wants to negotiate with him, let's negotiate, maybe something good.
The orc gave an order, ordered the entire fleet to close the sails and slow down, and formed an inverted V-shaped formation, waiting for the ship with the bright white flag to approach.
After a long while, the ship finally came slowly and stopped next to the Baige. The two boats were on the gangways for people to pass back and forth.
Bai Ge held his beloved wife in his arms, and stood on the port side with a group of men, looking at the boat opposite with an unkind expression.
A man in chain mail and a red cloak stepped out of the crowd and stepped onto the gunwale, his face dignified and his eyes shining with the red glow of the portlights.
"Who are you?" Bai Ge raised his face and asked angrily.
"I'm the captain of the local guard, and I'm in charge of keeping the law and order here, and when the Admiral learned of your Viking fleet's approach, he sent me over to deliver a message to you." Bernie's throat moved, and there was unconcealed tension in his voice. He took off his helmet as a sign of respect.
"Hehe, it turns out that you are a dog cub raised by the local commander." Bai Ge chuckled, not taking the other party seriously at all.
Bernie was a powerful man in Ironport, and few dared to be disrespectful to him, but in front of a brutal group of Viking orcs, he was too hard. Regarding Bai Ge's ridicule, he could only choose to swallow his anger and dare not say anything.
As long as the strong dragon is strong enough, it can still suppress the ground snake.
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be the famous leader of Bai Ge, right?" Bernie asked in a deep voice.
Bai Ge is quite famous in the Sea of Blades, almost everyone knows it, and his unique white skin is his distinguishing feature, and it is not new for people to be recognized at a glance.
"Yes, I'm Bai Ge." Bai Ge proudly admitted.
"Leader Bai Ge, your deeds are famous, and I have heard of them for a long time. It's an honor for someone like you to come to Iron Cannon Harbor, but ......" Bernie said again.
"But what?"
"But our port here is too small to accommodate so many of you ships and so many people, I hope you don't dock together." Bernie took a deep breath and finally got the point of the negotiation. This time, the Admiral ordered him to come, mainly to prevent all the fleets led by Bai Ge from docking.
The combat effectiveness of this fleet was terrifying, enough to threaten the entire Iron Cannon Harbor, and if it landed and shelled the shore, it could raze a large area of buildings to the ground. The Admiral didn't want that to happen, so he sent Bernie over to negotiate.
"What did you just say?" Bai Ge's face sank suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was malice surging in his eyes, "My ears are not good, I didn't hear clearly, you tell me again." ”
