"Well, is this information helpful to you?" Laeri said.

Zhang Heng nodded, "What do you want?" ”

The black gladiator didn't answer the question immediately, but continued, "Although I have left Terrance Manor, there are still many people in my tribe there, you have to deal with Malcolm and know more about his secrets, I can help you contact them to assist you." ”

"You should also know that even if the Black Merchants Alliance finally disbands and Malcolm is kicked out of Nassau, it still won't change the fate of the other people in that manor."

"So I decided to take matters into my own hands and change it."

Laeri has a resolute expression, and different people will react differently when faced with difficulties, some will give up on themselves and become desperate under the blow, while others will choose to embrace the suffering, endure its baptism, and eventually become stronger, and the black gladiator is clearly the latter.

After experiencing the death of his father and brother, the destruction of his tribe, the branding of himself as a slave, and the loss of an eye and the bridge of his nose in order to escape from the manor, and having to kill his best friend with his own hands, Laeri is not depressed, but gradually begins to show the temperament of a chief.

"We can't be free in our homeland, we can't be free in those colonies, and we can't be free in this free city, so we have to get out of here, and I've heard that there are quite a few uninhabited islands in this sea, and some of them are outside the normal shipping routes, and there is fresh water and arable land where we can fish, hunt, and grow crops...... It's going to be tough at first, but eventually we'll survive and multiply just like our ancestors. ”

Zhang Heng said, "I have a boat and manpower, and I can help you find a place that meets your requirements when I go to sea, and I can also take you there, but the question is how do you escape from that manor?" Although I sympathize with your plight, it is impossible to attack Malcolm's manor directly and free the black slaves, otherwise it will anger the big landowners on the island, the development center of the Jackdaw is Nassau, and the families of many of the crew members on board are also on the island, I must think for them, I hope you can understand, I can only wait for you at the appointed time and on the appointed shore. ”

Laeri was obviously well aware of this, and the black gladiator didn't make excessive requests, but said, "We'll solve this problem ourselves, but I need a batch of weapons, not too many, but they should be small in size, easy to carry and hide, daggers will do, and in addition to that, I need at least five short muskets, don't worry about these things, you can wait until your trouble is solved before giving it to me." ”

"There is no problem with weapons, I am willing to accept your offer of cooperation, and I hope that you can finally get what you want." After Zhang Heng finished speaking, he took the lead in reaching out his hand.

Laeri was a little surprised to see this, this was the first time since he left his hometown that someone outside the tribe had done this to him, which meant that the Oriental in front of him did not see him as a commodity or a beast like everyone else, but as an equal communicator.

The black gladiator was stunned for about half a second, and then he also stretched out his palm and took the opposite hand, and then the two of them also heard footsteps from downstairs, and Anne and the doctor had already walked to the door.

Zhang Heng got up and said, "These days, you should deal with your injuries first and take a good rest, my other partner is also about to come back, and then I will trouble you to tell her what you heard before." ”

…………

Karina returned to Nassau a week later, and she hauled the shipload of nutmeg to New York, one of the best ports her father had ever run before, where customs were guarded up and down, so no one bothered her, and she was able to release the goods without even inspecting them, but it took her a lot of time to find a buyer.

The local demand for spices in New York was not large, although the shipload was very valuable, but it had to be sent back to Europe before it could be sold, and many of the merchants who did the shipping were interested, but the bid could not satisfy Karina, who had to continue to look for a buyer, until ten days later, a merchant specializing in selling ingredients heard the news, and after half a day of bargaining, the two sides finally closed the deal at a price that was satisfactory to both parties.

Karina got her first pot of gold after becoming a black market merchant, and after deducting the purchase fee paid to the Jackdaw, as well as the interest on the mortgage and the transportation costs, she made a net profit of about five hundred gold coins on this trip, and such a generous reward made the businesswoman quite excited, and also gave her hope of getting the ransom and ransom her father out of prison, but unfortunately such valuable prey is not common, otherwise she would have been able to see his father again in two years.

Anne sent a hundred of them to her mother for circulation, and the savings of the family to rescue her father had been basically spent recently, and she could take a breath with this money.

The remaining 400 gold coins, some of which will be used as a donation to continue to maintain the connections in each port, and the remaining part will be used as the principal for the next acquisition, so that some of the interest can be reduced.

When she was done with the things at hand, the businesswoman did not give herself a holiday, but rushed back to Nassau as soon as possible.

Karina's biggest worry now is what will happen to the relationship between the Jackdaw and her during her absence from the island, if it is not the first time to sell the stolen goods, it is equally important, she doesn't even want to leave the ****** businessman, and she didn't think that the cooperation between Zhang Heng and her was just to put pressure on the black merchant alliance, and when she took the initiative to negotiate, she kicked her away, but now she has no capital at all to ask the Jackdaw to treat her equally, even if she knows that the other party intends to do so, she can only cooperate, Because at least you can make some money that way.

But Karina doesn't know why, she always seems to have an inexplicable expectation of that person, maybe because she always ignores the identity of the other party when the two are alone, Zhang Heng is different from all the pirates she has seen, she subconsciously feels that that person's words may not be so untrustworthy.

And when she returned to Nassau, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least there was no bad news during this time, the Jackdaw was still in opposition to the Black Merchant Alliance, and the small and medium-sized pirates on the island still regarded the ship as a flag against the Black Merchant Alliance.

However, when she found Zhang Heng, she got a piece of news that made her a little unbelievable.
