"My name is Bailey, and I'm the best sailor in Isabel City, and if you want to go to the Siren Territory, I can guarantee that no one will dare to take you there except me."

In Bill's Bar, Wang Xu was eating tomato noodles, drinking rum, and listening to an old man brag without raising his head.

It's not bragging, the legendary sailor Bailey is a well-known existence in the nautical world, and sailors who have not heard of his legend are not considered good sailors.

"You want me to hire you?" Wang Xu didn't look up, still gobbling up food.

Bailey swallowed, looked at Carmen hiding outside the window, and whispered, "You should know that I'm the best." ”

"What do you need?"

Wang Xu put down the knife and fork and lay down on the chair.

Bailey was clear about his relationship with Carmen, and he knew that the two of them were planning to trick him, but he was happy to pretend that he didn't know anything.

After all, the ancestral land of the Carmen family is in the Siren Territory, where there are likely to be clues of wizards.

If Wang Xu doesn't help, Carmen doesn't know how long it will take to find a wronged boss like him and embark on the journey to the Kraken Territory.

Although Wang Xu has a lot of time, he doesn't like to wait, especially when there are shortcuts, why not promote the plot.

"If you want to enter the Kraken Territory, you must first overcome the strong winds and waves on the outskirts of the Kraken Territory, and the wooden warship cannot withstand such wind and waves, so we need a steam ironclad ship. At present, in the market, the rent of renting a steamship is about 5,000 US dollars, and it is about 6,000 US dollars if you count the supplies. ”

Treasure or something, of course it's fake.

Even if there really is, Carmen will not hand it over, if Wang Xu is an ordinary person, he is destined to return in vain.

It's a pity that Wang Xu is not an ordinary person, and Carmen's confident transformation skills are nothing in his eyes.

Not to mention what Carmen can transform now, it is only a first-order black-backed wolf in the juvenile stage, a second-order black-backed wolf in the growth stage, or a third-order black-backed wolf in the mature stage, and Wang Xu will not care too much.

"Okay, that's it." Wang Xuyi was bold and agreed nonchalantly.

Seeing that he agreed so happily, old Bailey was a little unconvinced.

You know, this is a $6,000 business, and Lao Bailey is even ready, Wang Xu is ready to bargain with him, and he doesn't have to grind at all.

"This is a cashier's check worth $6,000, I'm going to see the ship tomorrow morning, see the sailors, is there a problem?"

Wang Xu took out the cashier's check from his arms and pushed it in front of Old Bailey,

Old Bailey took the check tremblingly and asked in surprise, "Aren't you afraid that I will run away with the money?" ”

"I've always believed that there can be more trust between people, don't you think so?" This amount of money is only a drop in the bucket in Wang Xu's hands, and he is still idle in the water, so what can he do if Lao Bailey absconds with the money.

What's more, Wang Xu has been monitoring the two of them, which is so easy to run.

Even if the two of them plunged into the sea, Wang Xu stretched out two fingers and could pinch the two of them out.

"Go ahead, it's 11:15 p.m., and before 10 a.m. tomorrow, I'm going to see what I want, any questions?"

Under Wang Xu's gaze, Old Bailey subconsciously shook his head.

Wang Xu shook his hand slightly, signaling that Old Bailey could go, and then continued to fight Tomato Noodles.

Old Bailey turned back step by step, until he got out of the gate, and it was unbelievable that it would go so smoothly.

Carmen, who was waiting outside the door, saw old Bailey come out, trotted up to meet him, and asked, "Is it finished?" ”

"It went more smoothly than I thought, and before I could say anything, he decided to invest in us, as if we were not begging him, but he was begging us." Old Bailey shook the check in his hand, smelled the scent of ink on it, and whispered, "What a hell! ”

"Whatever, as long as he pays for it." Carmen thought more simply than the old Bailey, in his thoughts, his purpose was to go to the island and return to the ancestral land of the Carmen family, and the rest was trivial.

It doesn't matter where the money comes from or where it comes from, it's not a problem, as long as you have the money.

Rent a ship, find sailors, buy supplies, and over the rest of the day, Carmen and Bailey Sr. begin to split up.

Chartering a boat is simple, just pay for it, and at best accept a second mate provided by the owner of the ship, who is responsible for preventing anyone from escaping.

Finding sailors was easy, as it was the Great Depression, factories were bankrupt, prices were skyrocketing, and sailors were laid off en masse.

With the face of old Bailey, coupled with the banknotes of green flowers, the sailors roared to sign up, even the fierce reputation of the Kraken Territory could not scare this group of poor ghosts.

On the contrary, it is more difficult to buy materials, first of all, everyone has to sail at sea for more than a month, and the degree of food and clothing is not a decimal.

In addition, the Kraken Territory has a Kraken, and the rented steamship must be equipped with cannons, and the sailors must also have weapons.

If it's a lease, a few hundred dollars is enough to lease the old weapons of the police station.

In order to pit Wang Xu for a sum of money, of course, Carmen would not go to rent, but went to a weapons dealer and bought five cannons, fifty of the latest rifles, and thirty revolvers.

A gun costs $200, a rifle costs $28, and a revolver is cheaper, about $15, which is $2,850.

In Carmen's thoughts, this overspent money, of course, should be credited to Wang Xu's head, and it is best to make him bankrupt.

"Sir, you don't have enough money, we are still 2,500 dollars short."

As the deputy of the old Bailey, Carmen found Wang Xu, who came to inspect the dock.

"Hmm." Wang Xu snorted with a cigar in his mouth.

Carmen looked at him gloatingly, according to his calculations, Wang Xu's property was about seven or eight thousand dollars, and this time his property could be emptied.

It's a pity that no matter how he looks at it, he can't see the heartache and remorse in Wang Xu's eyes.

Wang Xu stood on the pier, smoking a cigar and blowing the sea breeze, leisurely like a rich man who came to vacation, not a fake rich man who was about to go bankrupt.

"Are you listening, sir? We don't have enough money, we have to equip ourselves with weapons to go to sea, and now we owe 2,500 dollars to the arms merchants. ”

Wang Xu raised his head slightly, looked at Carmen with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said with the same smile: "What a coincidence, when I came just now, I deliberately withdrew 5,000 US dollars from the bank, and I was afraid that you would not have enough, I didn't expect you to save so much!" ”

Counting out 25 hundred-yuan bills, Wang Xu raced into Carmen's hand and asked, "Is there any more problem?" ”

Looking at the banknotes in his hand, Carmen's eyes widened, and he wanted to ask why Wang Xu still had money.

It shouldn't be like this, he should have no money, and even mortgaged the apartment building on Center Street in order to close the $2,500 gap.

But now, looking at the pile of banknotes in Wang Xu's hand, Carmen was like a rooster stuck in the neck, and said hoarsely: "No problem." ”

"Then check it out, and we'll leave in the afternoon."

Wang Xu's time is very precious, and he doesn't want to go on here at all.

Carmen was very unwilling in his heart, he wanted to see Wang Xu's annoyed look, not a smug smile.

It's a pity that he guessed Wang Xu's property wrongly from the beginning, and he didn't even know who his opponent was, so how could he get his wish.

"Sir, let me introduce you, this is our St. Mary. First of all, the St. Mary is a steamship that doesn't require sails, and the requirements for personnel are relatively simple, but in order to cross the Kraken, we have gathered eighty battle sailors who will protect us and the ship. ”

Old Bailey took a pipe and stood beside Wang Xu to introduce him: "In addition, the St. Mary's is 57 meters long, divided into three layers, upper, middle and lower, and was a cargo ship in the past, which is enough to resist violent storms and rains, and the wind and waves of the Kraken Territory are by no means a problem for it. ”

Under the leadership of the old Bailey, Wang Xu inspected the St. Mary's.

As a cargo ship, the St. Mary's is not beautiful enough, and it can even be said to be a bit stupid.

Looking at the sailors who were wiping the deck on it, as well as the engineers who installed the artillery, Wang Xu asked without looking back: "If we can leave on time in the afternoon, how long will it take for us to arrive at the Kraken Territory?" ”

"Eighteen days, that's the ideal speed." Old Bailey calculated the route, and answered very happily.

Wang Xu nodded lightly, eighteen days said not much, said a lot less, it seems that he has to prepare some entertainment activities.

Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Book Keju mobile version reading website:
