Chapter 135: Refit of Ships
At the moment I am on a supply island outside the Chambord Islands, perhaps because war is about to break out, and many of the island's merchants have begun to carry out clearance sales.
I took Toi around the island to find out if there were any ships that could be sold at a low price.
Toi was familiar with this area, and under his leadership, we soon found several merchants who sold ships.
I thought it would be a clearance sale, but I didn't expect that the merchants on this island would sell everything at a low price, but only the ships had been speculated to sky-high prices.
Come to think of it, these people were already panicked after learning that the Chambord Islands were about to become a battlefield, and they just wanted to hide far away.
Therefore, the escaped ship became a sought-after commodity, and if anyone who bought the ship could still rent out the spare empty seats, there were so many people waiting for the island, it was a sure deal.
The ships are now being sold at auction, and up to four hundred gold coins have already been sold.
This group of people is crazy, you must know that four hundred gold coins are enough for me to live on the sea for several years.
I shook my head and sighed, no matter what, don't think about this ship, besides, this is a boat used by people to save their lives, and we are embarrassed to fight with others.
Continue to follow Shijing aimlessly on the island.
Looking at these people, I thought of the inhabitants of the Chambord Islands, how can there be such a big difference between the same inhabitants? Although the inhabitants of the Chambord Islands were also dull and depressed, they did not panic too much, and all activities continued in an orderly manner as usual.
The residents who encountered it head-on were not panicked, but they were panicked on the outlying islands, and I was speechless.
"Toi, are there any craftsmen on this island who repair ships, or craftsmen who transform ships?"
Since it is impossible to buy a new ship, the existing ship can only be refitted, although there is still a risk of being recognized, but it can still be somewhat confusing.
"Yes, there is a blacksmith shop on the south side of the island, and the version is the only shop on the island that can repair ships, and most of the ship repairers here are migrants, and only this is their family settled on the island." Tokai explained.
"Oh, I see, how are their charges, are they reliable?"
"Rest assured, sir, the version family has been repairing ships for generations, and the charging price is very fair, and the craftsmanship is very good."
"Well, I'm relieved."
……
The main business of the blacksmith shop is shipbuilding and ship repair, but the competition among peers is too fierce in these years, not to mention the port location of this supply station, although there will be a large number of ships to repair ships, but it is precisely because of this that the competition between peers is also more intense.
Although the version of the home is good but the rules are more rigid, only when you go to the version of the home to submit an order, people will come out of the port to repair the ship, and those who have been waiting in the port early in the morning to provide a new service model of the peers are instantly uncompetitive.
In the long run, the fame of the previous version gradually faded into the sea.
But I'm curious to see what such a capable person would be like, and it stands to reason that this kind of character is usually set up by a master of the world, and I'm looking forward to meeting him.
……
The island is small, and soon we arrive at the blacksmith's shop, which is even more desolate than we thought.
The rusty plaques, the dusty tables and chairs, and the half of the moldy bread on the table made me wonder if this was really the place to do business.
It was obviously not the first time that Shijing had come, and he stood outside the door and shouted, "Is Uncle Version here?" There's a list coming! ”
"Hey, yes! Welcome, what do you two want to buy? ”
A short, obscene-looking man came out of the dilapidated house, and when I saw the man's appearance, I felt the urge to turn around and leave.
This man is five short stature, a little fat, bald, and full of oily face is walking towards us with a smile at the moment, and this obscene smile makes me feel unwell for a while.
This guy is the legendary master of the world?
"Yo! It's Shijing, but I haven't come for a few days, let's go, let's go into the house and talk about something. "The version welcomed us warmly.
When I entered the house, I felt that it was better to stand outside and chat, this room was crowded with all kinds of groceries, there was only one room in the house, and the version of eating, drinking, and sleeping were all solved here, and the environment was so bad that you can imagine how bad it was.
"Hey, hey, what does this adult want to build?"
I originally wanted to talk about repairing the ship, but after thinking about it, I still felt the thunder light from behind me, and wanted this obscene guy to palm his eyes first to see if this knife was a supreme fast knife.
"Boss, let's give me an appraisal of this knife first." I said lightly, you have to do business with enough momentum, so as not to be slaughtered as a fat sheep when you get it.
"Gotcha!"
The version took the thunder light very well, and as soon as he started it, his whole body trembled.
With years of craftsmanship and experience, he knew that this knife was extraordinary as soon as he touched the scabbard, and his trembling hand put on the handle of the knife and carefully pulled out a section.
Zizizizi!
A trace of thunder spurted out, and the frightened version hurriedly threw the sword ghost scabbard towards Shijing.
I'm speechless, isn't it just a little thunder? As for it?
"What does the boss think? Is it a good knife? I continued.
"Good knife, peerless...... Good knives! The version looked at the knife in Shijing's hand with some trepidation, and the thunder just now really surprised him.
"How about it compared to that supreme fast knife?" I'm curious to know if this is a supreme fast knife.
"I had the pleasure of seeing Hawkeye's supreme fast knife once, and I thought this knife should be on the same level as that knife, but this knife has not been officially recorded, presumably someone has blocked its news."
The version answered truthfully that the person with the supreme fast knife in his hand was not something he could offend.
"Are you saying that my Thunder Light and the sword of the Sword Saint Eagle Eye in the Seven Martial Seas are of the same level?" My heart was hot, and I didn't expect to actually pick up the treasure.
Although I don't know how to use swords, Hawkeye is a man who stands at the pinnacle of swordsmanship, and the knives he uses are naturally the best in the world.
"It should be."
The version felt very uncomfortable, he just wanted to quietly take a small order and make a small profit, but it turned out that people came up with a supreme fast knife.
This time, he feels that he may be a little hardcore!
"Okay, yes, this time I came to ask Mr. Version to help me rebuild a ship, my request is very simple, just change it however you want, just make it look completely different from the original shape."
"Retrofitting ships?" Version didn't expect it to be such a job, it was too easy for him.
"Yes, under normal circumstances, five gold coins will be charged, if you are more urgent, you can add money and I will rush to work." Speaking of the money version, his eyes flashed green again, and he rubbed his fingers obscenely and smiled.
"When will it be completed at the earliest?" I frowned, I smelled the routine, this guy didn't want to kill me.
"Ten gold coins, it can be completed today." The version said categorically.
I'm furious, isn't that taking me for the wrongful? Ten gold coins This guy really can open his mouth, and ten gold coins is enough for me to buy a small boat.
"Hehe, it's impossible, haven't you seen money in ten gold coins?"
"That'...... This one, nine? The version looked embarrassed, and reluctantly subtracted me a gold coin.
"Boss, you have to think clearly, I have a big list, and it is enough for you to eat and drink for half a year, if the boss is wronged, then I will have to find the next one." I stared at the version, and this guy was very slippery.
"Your Excellency, you can just make a price......
"Six gold coins, completed today." I said lightly, this guy's house furnishings look like they haven't started for a long time, and now that I'm a big employer, I don't want to please me, but he still wants to slander people, it's disgusting.
"This ...... Okay, six is six, I'll pack up and follow the adults to the boat now. ”
The version agreed with a difficult face, but not to mention how happy he was in his heart, it was simply a happy flower, six gold coins, where can his broken craftsmanship be worth six gold coins, the adult is so generous, hehe!
