Chapter 225: The Strong Man Considered by Ferdinand
"Mr. Van der Kamp, are you finally back?" Ferdinand looked at Lao Wang and his party, his tone was short, and his excited breathing was a little unsteady.
These ten days were undoubtedly tormenting, and he came to the Caribbean on the orders of Miss Lilu to support his adventures in the Caribbean on behalf of the Argoth Chamber of Commerce as Monsieur van der Kamp's staunchest ally.
But there was no news of Monsieur van der Kamp and all the dignitaries of his ship on the small island of Curacao, and in an instant, the burden of a thousand pounds was all on Ferdinand's shoulders, and he slept all night, not daring to relax at all, and did his best to keep the fleet running.
He had survived Drake's ferocious attacks, the cynicism of the Dutch Softbone officials, and now that he was finally looking forward to the safe return of the Lord's backbone, it was no wonder that he was a little more emotional at this moment.
"Dear Ferdinand, I'm not up to the point where you're so worried, am I? Lao Wang smiled and patted Ferdinand on the shoulder to express his encouragement: "Have you forgotten that we were high rollers in Hamburg, at that time, there were many people who didn't believe that I could succeed in the end, but didn't I do it too?"
"I know that you are the kind of person who will have a way in any environment, and there is no way for the sea god to change this. Ferdinand nodded firmly.
He didn't lie, he didn't worry about whether Lao Wang could come back, no matter how difficult the situation was, he was just worried about whether he could support himself before Lao Wang came back.
"Well, I'm not President Argoth, so don't keep slapping me on the back. Lao Wang said to Ferdinand: "Tell me, what is the situation in the Caribbean Sea now?"
"It's not an exaggeration to describe it as chaotic. Ferdinand looked at Lao Wang and said solemnly, it stands to reason that people who have been struggling to survive on the island for more than ten days should not accept too much good news, but now that the situation is like this, he can't care about what humanistic feelings he pays attention to with Mr. Van der Kamp.
Some people will say that Lao Wang can know the current situation in the Caribbean Sea from the information of space, and then ask Ferdinand, isn't it superfluous?
However, this is not the case, of course, Lao Wang can know from the number of selectors, what kind of grandmother is the Caribbean Sea now, but this is not as objective and true as the intelligence that Ferdinand has been collecting on the sea, and if you want to know the details of the matter, you have to see it to be believing.
Therefore, when they were taken back to Great Curaçao by dinghy, Lao Wang discussed with his team and decided to find out what was going on on the sea through Ferdinand before setting off for the pirate city of Royal.
"Is it because of the Seven Seas Powerhouse Challenge that the Spaniards did? Could it be that besides adventurers like us, there are other big forces that are paying attention?" asked Lao Wang.
"Dear Admiral, please note what I'm saying next, I'm definitely not kidding you, you just mentioned the Seven Seas Mighty Challenge, to be precise, the recent chaos in the Caribbean is because of it, but it's not entirely because of it. Ferdinand said something ambiguous in earnest.
"My dear Ferdinand, I didn't know that your mouth could say things that no one understands like a damned defense lawyer. Lao Wang squeezed Ferdinand, and continued: "What is the situation, you just have to say, what losses the fleet has, and tell it, the Dutch people have always been prepared for possible losses!"
"Yes, Admiral Van der Kamp. Ferdinand straightened up and said, "The Seven Seas Mighty Challenge is indeed the cause of the uneven waves in the Caribbean during this time, but I think it's not that simple behind the scenes. ”
Ferdinand said solemnly: "First of all, this Seven Seas Powerhouse Challenge was created by the Spaniards and the Royal Pirate Alliance, and at the beginning, no one took this thing seriously.
You must know that the heroes who have crossed the seven seas have already achieved a lot of prestige and power in their own seas, and there is no reason to cross the ocean for some bullshit contest.
Just imagine, if something happens to you on the voyage, what should you do with the huge family business, so when the news of the competition just came out, the major forces were not interested in this competition. ”
"But now, the blue water of the Caribbean is boiling with excitement, and it doesn't seem to me like no one should be caring. Lao Wang questioned.
"You're so right, the current situation is not right here, the Spanish Chamber of Commerce and the Pirate Alliance have not made it public, they have used some great treasures as prizes for this competition, and they have not said what kind of benefits and territory they will get if they win the competition, but the sailors of the Seven Seas rushed like crazy and participated in this competition.
But I find it strange that most of the people who come are new and well-known.
However, their style is not like a novice, all of them are ruthless, and now the game has not started, there are already many famous heroes who have died in their hands, and they have been so driven, the major forces are interested in the game, and the long-famous pirates are not good to come in person, so they send outstanding small characters in the fleet to participate, in short, these newcomers will stir up the sea. Ferdinand recounted the situation.
"Is that all?" said Lao Wang pretending to frown, he didn't know what the reason for this sea was so lively, as the selectors of butterflies, they were desperately flapping their fragile little wings, giving birth to a hurricane that shook the world on the ocean, but this reason, he couldn't tell Ferdinand.
"Forgive me for being stupid, I really can't understand the reason behind my guess just now, but I think it's better for you not to participate in this stupid contest even if you have the Nanami Champion Challenge. Ferdinand said: "What you brought back from Little Curaçao is already a very good reason to stop you from continuing your adventure." ”
Ferdinand smiled slightly, even a well-informed sailor as he would be amused by the great amount of wealth, he licked his lips lightly, and said to the old king, "You can buy a small island in Europe and become its king yourself." ”
"Well, we can only say that there is a difference between our thoughts and realms, dear Ferdinand, in my opinion, the value of manhood is not something that can be measured by mere money.
Another thing you can rest assured is that there will definitely be a share of the Argoth Chamber of Commerce in the things I brought back, and our Van der Kamp Chamber of Commerce will definitely not treat our friends badly, but for now, you still have to continue to introduce me to the situation. Lao Wang directly threw a large diamond to Ferdinand.
