Chapter 269: Werther's Treasure Banquet (2-in-1)
"Good.." Squeo nodded hurriedly, and asked an equally frightened waiter next to him to prepare immediately, but he just didn't dare to accept the money on the table.
"I've heard them talk about Wirther's banquet." Seeing that he didn't accept the money, Jiang Cang pointed to the corpse of the black fox, "If Boss Scoo knows this news, please tell me." The money here is used as a gratuity, don't be neat, I'll send the money, and the boss of Scoo won't accept it, which makes me lose face.."
Jiang Cang smiled when he said this, "What do you say? ”
The words fell.
Jiang Cang didn't wait for Scoo to answer, he waved his hand to Wu Hong again, signaling to let the guests in the bar go, this is a grudge between himself and Hei Ying and others, and it has nothing to do with these guests.
And the news here, the news that Heiying and the others were killed by the Pioneer, this is a good thing to spread casually, and there is no law enforcement team on the island, and it can also promote the prestige of the Pioneer.
Maybe some of the big pirates valued the strength of himself and the others, and found himself to discuss some things about partnering to find the treasure.
"We can really go.." When the guests saw Takehiro, who was like a door god, let go of the exit, they came back to their senses, and although they asked, they walked towards the door.
When they came to the door, they saw that Wu Hong really didn't stop him, and saw Jiang Cang's gentle smile at the bar, they thanked them one after another, went out, and ran away in the curious eyes of pedestrians on the street, without thinking about stopping anything.
But at the same time.
At the bar of the bar.
Skao was not impressed by Jiang Cang's tolerance, but was taken aback by the smile on Jiang Cang's face, feeling that Jiang Cang and the others could still smile so frankly after killing people, it was like a ghost crawling out of the abyss!
If it's an ordinary person, even a pirate.
Skao saw that there were a lot of people, and he didn't think that there could be many people, like them, pioneers, killing people as the norm, as if they were all mechanized?
It's the devil, and he's sure he's not wrong!
But then, when he said it, he said with a flattering smile,
"My friend... You and your crew are simply merciful gods.."
With a heartfelt compliment, Squeo took the money and whispered, "Much more generous than that damn fox..." The black fox should not be called a cunning fox, but an abominable vampire... He's a demon from the abyss."
"Do you know anything about Wirther?" Jiang Cang saw that Skao accepted the money, then this matter was very clear, Skao definitely knew the information about Werther's banquet.
Otherwise, he is so bold that he does not have enough news value, how dare he collect his own money?
That's where it comes from.
The black fox must also be related to the treasure news, and the appearance of Qi Sanye is no accident, this is connected, and it is the norm in the Yuan Energy World.
Jiang Cang suddenly found that as long as he dared to fight, anything could go smoothly.
Even if you don't dare to fight, follow Qi Sanye as a prisoner, maybe you and others don't sell it, you can still work with Qi Sanye, and then meet the black fox, and slowly follow it, but the identity has changed from the crew of the pioneer to the slave of the Black Ying.
"I know some.." After taking the money, Scoo didn't think about hiding anything, and directly said: "Werther is a nobleman on the island and a former pirate."
As he spoke, he looked at Brother Li, and when he saw Brother Li nodding, he knew that Brother Li had told Jiang Cang about Welt, so he wouldn't repeat it, and went straight to the point.
"Wirther seems to have discovered an island to the south?" Squeo's words were a little uncertain about the location of the treasure, but he was sure that the news was true,
"The news should have been told to him by Lao Zuo.." When Scoo said the name 'Lao Zuo', when he saw that Brother Li didn't nod, it seemed to prove that his intelligence was indeed worthy of the price, and he said word by word,
"Lao Zuo is an old pirate and a regular customer in my bar, and I know that he is very timid, but he is adventurous. Usually he found news of treasure at sea, and often asked the pirates on the island to cooperate with the nobles to protect his safety. I think this time it was Lao Zuo who found Wirt and wanted Wirt to help him hire some helpers. Of course, I think with Werther's character, he should have gone too. He has always been very cautious, always feeling that others will take advantage of him. ”
"He's afraid of an uneven distribution of spoils?" Jiang Cang asked rhetorically, and then changed his words with a smile: "It should be that I am afraid that the hard-earned treasures will be unevenly distributed." ”
"The treasure this time is not the robbery of merchant ships.." Skao shook his head, "I heard the black fox say something yesterday, it's really an isolated island, it's very secretive and secretive, I heard that it has been sinking in the sea before?" It's like a myth, it's the power of God that brings it back to the light."
"It's a matter of 'God.'" Jiang Cang got up, "This is too mysterious, I just want to ask a practical matter, does the boss of Scoo have an invitation to the Wirt banquet?" Or recommend me to the past? ”
"This.." The strong man scratched his ears in embarrassment, looking a little ridiculous and a little cute.
"Found it.." When Jiang Cang was talking to Sco, he bent over and searched the corpses of the black fox and others next to each other, and found a 'gray letterhead invitation' on one person. ’
Jiang Cang walked over and took it, and saw that there was no handwriting on the cover, but the joint invitation was opened and read, it read,
Werther cordially invites the "Honorable Captain Black Fox" of the Black Ying to my banquet. I'll give you a message that will be of interest to you, the Southern Island, a legend about treasure. ’
"There's a name for this.." Wu Hong walked over and took a look, shook his head, and avoided Brother Li and Scoo at the bar: "Don't let us go, if they don't admit it, we will be embarrassed.. Master Jiang's words just now sound a bit 'full' to me."
"Who's going to open the invitation?" Xiao smiled, "Not to mention that the captain of the Black Ying, 'Black Fox', is a celebrity. Listening to Brother Li, many people on the island know him. Then let's take his invitation past, obviously. Let us enter, just enter, if we are not allowed to enter, there is no need to open it. ”
"Not necessarily." Jiang Cang closed the invitation and handed it to Xiao, "No one knows the rules here, if you really don't recognize the sticker, then no one will have a problem." ”
"Brother Jiang.." Yun Mu saw that this was not good, that was not good, so he asked. "Then we... To go or not to go? ”
"Of course I want to go." Jiang Cang smiled and patted Yunmu's shoulder, "It's a guest from afar, I think Wirt, as a businessman, will also value interests, and he won't choose to offend us Central Plains people on Egret Island." So, I feel like I can give it a try. How do you feel? ”
"It's a big deal." Wu Hong clenched his fists, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he was curious: "Soft can't work, can't you come hard?" ”
"Master Wu is right." Jiang Cang deeply agreed, and he also meant the same.
I can't be polite and sincerely participate in the 'Old Left's Expedition', and I want to go over to help, but Werther doesn't treat him with a word, and he has to lick his face.
You know, at the end of the day, it's a 'left's business', and Wirt is also a helper.
If this help is still strong, come first come, first come.
The pioneers would tell them what it means to 'attain first.' ’
It's also to cater to this pirate world, where the strong are respected and interests are paramount.
"Isn't it.. Something wrong? Xiao put away the invitation, and when he heard the same 'beating meaning' as the dragon head and Master Wu, he asked cautiously.
But when he looked at the two shadows and found that Yunmu and Shadow also agreed with Master Wu's words, he didn't ask.
Four votes to one vote, if you can't get into the banquet, then you can only do one fucking vote.
The owl also has this meaning.
The previous rhetorical question was just to discuss all kinds of gains and losses, prepare for the worst road, and at least have the bottom in your heart.
"That's it." Jiang Cang finally made a charter, and whether it will be successful or not in three days will be known when you see it.
Don't say anything else now.
The steak rice prepared by Scoo is ready, a total of six servings, five ripe, and the cake snack is greasy, and the fragrance wafts in, so taste the lunch of this world, what is so special.
And as Jiang Cang and the five of them chose a table and began to eat and drink, listening to Brother Li talk about some interesting things about the island.
Skao is a quick way to clean up the corpses and clean the ground.
Looking at this skillful process, and seeing a few customers coming to the bar, seeing the remaining corpses on the ground, the bloodstains that the guys were cleaning up, there was no curiosity, but ordered wine as usual.
I know that this kind of thing happens often on the island, and everyone on the island is used to it.
It's just that there was a black fox who had a quarrel or a conflict of interest and killed a few people, but this time he was lying on the smooth floor of the bar.
The body was pulled into the sea by the bar guys to feed the fish.
I don't know if he can better communicate with the undead after he dies.
It's just that the shadow knife belt is 'broken', the whetstone given by Jiang Cang, this is very stable, very authentic, from the polishing of the Jindan powerhouse of the bamboo road chief, to treat a little wizard, absolutely safe, so that the black fox is really scattered after he dies.
Except.
After Jiang Cang and the others finished eating, they said goodbye to the boss of Sco, and under the introduction of Brother Li, they lived in a nearby hostel.
Three days later.
Nothing else.
It's to talk to Brother Li, or go to the bar in Scoo to order wine, have a meal, and have three meals a day, which is quite real, but the wine is a little expensive, but he and others don't take credit like a black fox.
And so it goes.
Perhaps the boss of Scoo wanted to make powerful friends such as the pioneers, or to win over a long-term customer, but he made a promise that if there was any treasure information on the island, he would tell Captain Jiang the news as soon as possible.
I have to say that this is a mistake, one more source, half a guide.
In the Yuan Energy world, of course, the more such 'news friends', the better, after all, it is related to the benefits of oneself and others, provided that oneself and others have the strength to complete it.
And about the question of strength.
This Jiang Cang and the others don't say it, they don't boast.
But that day, the guests who saw the 'crew and captain' of the Black Ying, who were not infamous and prestigious, and were instantly strangled by the 'pioneers', brought the news out.
It's also that this town is not big, and pirates like to inquire more, one to two, two to four, and many people know about it.
But when they inquired more about the Pioneers, it was not because they were curious, but because they compared the strength of their crews, and if they ran into the Pioneer at sea in the future, it would be best to turn around and leave.
The pirates asked more questions, basically to know some strong people, and then to ensure their own lives.
The black foxes were all killed in an instant, and they were small boats, where were they the opponents of the pioneers.
Especially as the three days passed, people in other towns on the island heard about the pioneers to some extent.
This adds another topic to the island, 'Pioneers. Black Fox is delisted. ’
Whose sea area was the Black Ying was in charge of now?
No one dares to touch this, they are all waiting to see what happens.
Find out who is the new pirate king of this sea. ’
But on the night of the third day.
Jiang Cang and the others didn't care about the streets and alleys, and occasionally there were pedestrians and pirates discussing their five people, but under the leadership of Brother Li, they went straight to Werther's manor.
Wait to come here.
Jiang Cang saw that this manor was outside the town, and there were many European medieval buildings outside the town, which should be a place where outsiders gathered.
The manor he was looking for was just outside this complex, near a small forest.
The area is not small, about more than 1,000 square meters, 12 houses, and some forests in the backyard, which are used as back gardens.
The banquet is in the back garden, and you can see it from the doorway with the lights on.
It's just that there are two guards guarding the door, and it seems that it is not easy to enter.
"Come to Mr. Wirther's banquet." Jiang Cang walked over with everyone generously and handed over the invitation handed over by Xiao to the guards.
"You please.." The guards glanced at it twice, and didn't open it, so they let Jiang Cang and the others in, it's as simple as that.
If nothing else, these guards are small people, and Jiang Cang and the others are from the Central Plains, who would dare to offend?
Regardless of whether Jiang Cang and the others really received the invitation, but now they dare to come and get to the end, no matter whether it is right or wrong, it is not them who suffer.
And Jiang Cang saw that these people didn't check, so he glanced at each other with a few people, this is a good thing, let's go, go directly to the back garden to find the right master.
Wait for a maid to come here.
As far as the eye can see, the lights are bright, twelve tables are decorated with wine, cigars, and desserts, and sixty-two men and women walk back and forth in the spacious courtyard, talking, like a place of communication in an upscale place.
Jiang Cang glanced at it and listened.
I heard people chatting not only about treasures, but also about greetings, and the 'pioneers' who are now in the limelight. ’
That is, five of them.
"The pioneers are mysterious."
Jiang Cang looked over and saw that there were more than a dozen people nearby discussing in a circle.
The people next to them also thought that they had some inside story about the 'mysterious herald', and they were also eavesdropping.
"They killed the black fox very easily... But we don't know where they are... It's quite possible that it's already out of the island.."
"The Pioneers are a new group of pirates, right?" Someone has questions.
"It should be.." A young man answered, "I haven't heard of it before."
"Whether it's a new pirate or not." A middle-aged pirate touched the glass of red wine in his hand, "We must be careful when we meet pioneers at sea in the future... If you can avoid it, you can avoid it."
"Captain Thousand is right." Everyone nodded in agreement.
A team that can kill the Pirate King in a sea area, they can't afford to mess with it.
As everyone knows, there is no need to see you at sea, Jiang Cang and others are here today.
"We're famous.." Yun Mu also whispered to the dragon head and the others, "I think this time the matter is very stable, they should let us join." ”
"Just ask." Jiang Cang tilted his head, and among the group of people on the right, there was a middle-aged man with a mustache.
Listening to the respect in their conversation, and the honorific title, the middle-aged man was Wilt.
"Mr. Wirther." Jiang Cang picked up a glass of red wine from the table and walked towards Wirther.
Xiao and the others saw it and followed.
"Who are you..?" When Wirt heard someone shouting to him, he turned around and saw that Jiang Cang looked strange, he didn't know him, and he remembered that he didn't invite strangers, which was strange.
However, he saw that Brother Li next to Jiang Cang was an acquaintance, and it was not easy to ask anything in person, so he confessed to his friend next to him and walked over.
"Hello.." With a cigar in his hand and a red wine in the other, Wirther looked quite imposing, showing the aura of the owner.
"My crew and I want to take part in this treasure expedition." Jiang Cang had nothing to hide, and said bluntly: "If Mr. Wirther is embarrassed, we can discuss with Lao Zuo." ”
"Lao Zuo is a very careful person." When Wert heard that Jiang Cang and the others were here for this, he took a puff of his cigar and took a sip of the red wine in his hand, "If there is anything, you can tell me." He gave me full responsibility for the treasure. He's the boss, and you can help me as his secretary, the head of the plan. ”
"Nothing else." Jiang Cang looked at the few people beside him, "Again, our pioneer crew wants to join this expedition." I'm the captain of the Pioneer, Jiang Cang. ”
"Pioneers?!" Wirt's smoking hand paused, stared at Jiang Cang and the others, and frowned, "You are the ones who killed the black fox?" ”
"Yes." Jiang Cang nodded openly, "The people of the Black Ying have some grudges against us, and we are afraid that there will be trouble in the future, so we will strike first." But the black fox was the one Mr. Wirther invited, is this all right? ”
"I don't care what grudges you have." Wirther seemed to be afraid of the strength of Jiang Cang and the pioneers' crew, so he didn't mention it, but he also refused a little tactfully: "Can I choose not to let you pioneers participate in this mission?" ”
"Why?" Jiang Cang was curious, wondering if Wirther summoned so many pirate masters just for the treasure?
But he was also a little uncurious, knowing that Wirther should be afraid of the strength of himself and others, afraid that in the end, when the treasure appeared, he would wait for others to come and eat black. ’
This is a common occurrence in the pirate world, and it's all normal.
"I know we pioneers aren't yet famous." Xiao answered at this time, "There is no 'integrity' of relevant cooperation." But Mr. Werther turned down a strong pirate team, and I don't think it should be a good choice. ”
"I'm sure Mr. Werther has heard some about our pioneers." Jiang Cang saw that Wirther was a little in a dilemma, so he blocked the 'invisible threat' of the owl, and said with a smile:
"Let's put it this way, we pioneers are very just. It was our pioneers who replaced the Black Response and joined your Treasure Team, it was a collaboration. You can make a handwritten contract at the ferry crossing in town, and if you break it, we will have a bad reputation. We, the ships that walk on the sea, care about fame very much, and we pioneers care more about face, and face is our life. ”
"About Mr. Jiang's proposal.." Wirther extinguished the cigar and put it on the right color, but he was still a little embarrassed, and always wanted to excuse himself.
"Werther don't rush to answer yet." Jiang Cang picked up the wine glass, touched it towards Werther's wine glass, the smile disappeared, and said word by word: "We have an old saying in the Central Plains, called 'The interests of the world come and go'. And I feel that Mr. Werther, who is supposed to be a smart man, is also a businessman. Don't let us pioneers work together for the first time, be so embarrassed, and lose face before we can act. ”
'Da Da' Wirther didn't speak, but his heart tightened, but he nodded calmly on his face, and clapped his hands again, so that everyone in the garden was quiet.
At the same time, he took the wine and looked around, saluting Jiang Cang, and when he saw Jiang Cang smiling, he smiled and said, "Let's welcome our friends from the 'Pioneer'!" ”
