CH.53 Make a Big Profit
An Rui left Aoki Country on the same day and embarked on the return journey on a bulge horse that ran like the wind. Halfway through, he had been worried about being pursued by Alice, or even by Aoki Kuni's army, but fortunately, everything was just a false alarm, and there was no danger along the way.
After successfully returning to Zijinhua Port, An Rui immediately found a buyer who had already been looking for a good time, and sold the tons of blue crystal in his hand, selling a total of more than 25,000 gold coins.
If it continues to be consumed, the price of aquamarine will inevitably rise wildly, and the current price is by no means the upper limit of aquamarine, but Anrui is no longer interested in continuing to wait. Wait any longer, and God knows what will happen.
And this is not a one-shot deal, he has several mines rich in aquamarine in Xingyue Island, if he wants to make money, he will bring aquamarine over and sell it in the future.
It was the first time since An Rui crossed over that he had made such a big deal, and he was still very happy and celebrated with his companions. Even the toothed whale people were not disadvantaged, and received the wine of Anrui's reward, as well as some raw meat of wild beasts that could only be found on land.
After eating, An Rui divided the money he earned into two, and gave a part of it to his subordinates, and everyone made a small fortune with him.
The charm of money is unstoppable, after making money and tasting the sweetness, these people all sang praises to An Rui, and expressed that they would follow An Rui to the ends of the earth and never turn their backs.
The sailors and sailors from Blackspot Island had originally planned to serve Anrui for a year and then go home. Find your own mother. But after tasting the sweetness this time, many people have changed their minds and plan to follow An Rui all the time. It's not so easy to meet such a lucrative captain!
"An Rui, after making money this time, what are your plans next? Do you want to take us back to Xingyue Island to pull another batch of azurite to sell? Shafi drank the golden rum, her slightly drunk eyes wandered, and she asked curiously.
"Xingyue Island is now the foundation of our money, and we definitely want to go back. But don't be in such a hurry to go back. After leaving Zijinhua Port this time, I plan to go to a place with money and buy a special ship to have fun. Out to sea until now. We've been using regular boats all along, and it's time for a shotgun change. An Rui replied with a smile.
"You want to buy a special boat?" Sha Fei's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and the other crew members also cheered up, special ships for seafarers. It has a very strong attraction. "Eighteen thousand gold coins are enough to buy a low-level special ship, I don't know what kind of special ship you want to buy?"
Before An Rui could speak, the crew and sailors were the first to start a heated discussion, each expressing their opinions, and spitting stars flew everywhere on the long dining table.
"Since you want to buy a special ship, of course you want to buy a magic ship, this kind of ship is the most powerful, and a magic cannonball hits it. No plank can withstand anything. ”
"Who says you can't stand it? Templar ships and mechanical ships can withstand the bombardment of magic cannonballs, so in my opinion, it's better to buy a Templar ship. This kind of ship has strong defense capabilities, and it has a holy light circle, which can help people heal their wounds. ”
"The Templar ship is boring, so let's buy the ghost ship! How cool is the ghost ship! ”
", ghost ships can only be controlled by ghosts or necromancers, are you cursing us all to become ghosts?"
"If the ghost ship can't work, then buy a fish-man ship, this kind of boat can dive and sneak up on enemy ships from underwater, and it is impossible to prevent it."
"Fish-man ships are good, but the number of such ships is very small, and they are all in the hands of the fish-people, and it is not easy to deal with them."
In fact, this kind of debate is not very meaningful, special ships have their own advantages, and each special ship is great, much better than ordinary ships.
An Rui listened to the arguments of his subordinates, a smile appeared on his face, and after the voice at the table became quieter, he said leisurely: "A few people just now said that I have the heart to buy a fish-man ship." This kind of ship can dive and fight, directly attack the bottom of the enemy ship, even in the face of stronger special ships, it can defeat the strong with the weak, and win by surprise. ”
"But where are you going to buy a fish-man ship? Unlike magic ships and templar ships, this kind of ship is not mass-produced, and there is no place to buy it. Shafi wondered.
"Don't worry. If you have money, you can always buy it. Anrui drank the last bit of wine in his glass.
……
Aoki Imperial Palace.
Princess Alice stood in front of the window, letting the breeze caress her long, undulating blonde hair. On her long pointed ears, with two strings of silver-white earrings, she looks fresh and elegant.
An elderly minister stood aside, bent down, and presented a report respectfully.
Alice took the report and took it to her nose to look at.
On the report, it was written that "Anrui. Stark's investigation report" is a line of words, and under this line of words, it is all about Anrui.
These things are all inquired, and many of them are misinformation and inaccurate.
For example, one of them says that An Rui has three wives and five children, and another says that An Rui can transform into a werewolf on a full moon night......
When she saw these unreliable provisions, Alice burst out laughing, her smile was beautiful and moving, and she captivated the country. Although she knows very little about An Rui, she can also see that these articles are nonsense.
"You've been investigating for so many days and you've found out such a little bit of information?" Alice shook the report in her hand and asked with a smile.
"There are only so many, An Rui is a maritime merchant who has just gone to sea, he is not famous in the Blade Sea, and there are very few people who know about him. These things were basically secretly inquired about from his subordinates. The minister replied.
"Even so, there is too little information to be found."
"What does Her Highness the Princess want to know about him?"
"I mainly want to know about his previous experience, but this report only shows his experience after he went to sea, but not his experience before he went to sea."
"It seems that even his subordinates don't know much about those things, and I sent people to inquire about many people but couldn't ask about them."
"It seems that he has a lot of secrets." Alice smiled even sweeter, and studied the report in her hand, as if she were trying to find something between the lines.
"Your Majesty Princess, Rong Laochen asked more, why are you so interested in this person named An Rui, did he offend you? If that's the case, I'll take him back with my troops and bring him back for you to interrogate. The minister asked.
"He did offend me, but I didn't need to be so excited, I knew what to do. Moreover, he is not such an easy person to catch, if you lead an army to catch him, eighty percent of them will hit a nail. Even if you do capture him, you will definitely pay a big price and sacrifice many soldiers. Alice said in a pleasant tone.
"Where did he offend you? If the matter is serious, even if you pay some price, you can't spare him! The minister said stiffly.
"These things have nothing to do with you, don't ask more, go down." Alice waved her white jade hand.
Seeing that the princess did not want to say more, the minister had to close his mouth, bowed, and withdrew from the room.
The room was quiet again.
Alice held the report in her hand, her mind drifting back to days ago with the breeze outside the window, and the image of Anrui holding a sword around her neck came to mind. It was the first time in her life that she had been treated like this. Her heart was beating fast at that time, even faster than when she first stole something!
"That moment was so exciting...... Alice shuddered as she reminisced about that scene. (To be continued......)
