Isenas walked up to the man with the blue ribbon on his head and asked, "Are you the owner of the White Bird?"

"Yes, I am. The man glanced at the seven people and one cat in the adventure group. "You want to take a boat?"

"Exactly, we're going to Watertown. ”

"I suggest you wait for tomorrow, do you see the ship next to you?" said the man, pointing to a classic three-masted galleon painted black and red, "it's a big three-hundred-ton fellow, comfortable and much faster than my Shiratori, and it will depart tomorrow at noon." ”

Tomorrow at noon?Isenas glanced at the big ship.

"But we were in a hurry, and we couldn't afford to delay a single night. ”

"If you want to hurry, you can't get there, young man. The shipowner shrugged. "When sailing, we'd rather go slower than rush too much. If you want to go to Watertown, it's best to take a passenger ship, although the Black Volcano departed a few hours later than us, but it must have arrived in Watertown two days before us. ”

Leo frowned in the back.

Isenus smiled, "Not necessarily. ”

He looked at the people who were moving things back and forth to the boat, and asked, "How much money do you make on this trip?"

"The goods are worth more than 100 gold coins, and if they are sold 300 kilometers away, they can earn more than 80 gold coins if they throw away the money of the crew and the captain. ”

"If the seven of us want to get on the ship, how much land will we have to occupy for the goods?"

"A dozen gold coins are enough. But..."

Esenus raised his palms and stopped the shipowner's words.

"If you don't bring your goods and run from here to Watercity, will it be faster or slower than the Black Volcano?"

"It's going to be a day faster, but..."

"I'll give you three hundred gold coins. ”

"What, what?" the owner didn't turn a corner.

"I'll pay 300 gold coins to buy your ship, and I'll go to the water city without goods. ”

The shipowner's mind turned around at this time, his eyes rolled, and he said: "I still have to bring the goods when I come back from there, I don't know any merchants in Shuicheng, it's not cost-effective." ”

"Watertown is a trade center, how can you not find a merchant who transports goods. Esenus chuckled and said, "Well, then I'll give you five hundred gold coins." ”

"I have to think about it again, if I break the word, the business that is right with me will not necessarily think about me next time. ”

"A thousand. ”

"Although you have given a lot, my ship is not licensed to carry passengers, and I have to pay another fine for it..."

Isenus turned around and walked away.

"Oh, where are you going?"

"Let's see if any other ships are willing to give us a ride. ”

"Wait, wait, think about it. ”

Seeing that the windfall was about to fly, the owner of the ship hurriedly caught up with Esenas and persuaded him bitterly: "Only my Shiratori is ready to set sail on this dock, and the other ships have to gather sailors and captains to prepare food for sailing, and inspect oars and boats, and there is no week to set off." If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and if you want to hurry, you can't reach it. ”

Esenas glanced coldly at the shipowner, stretched out a hand and gestured, "Seven hundred gold coins." ”

The owner of the ship was about to speak again, but the shape of Isenas's hand was about to change from seven to five, and the owner immediately agreed: "No problem, I'll go and talk to the captain." ”

Isenus turned around and said to the others easily, "Now we are faster than the passenger ship." ”

The rest of the team looked at each other and smiled wryly.

It's a good idea, but there aren't many other parties in the world that can afford such a luxury.

Little Paul muttered: "Seven hundred gold coins, our family doesn't know if we can earn seven hundred gold coins after working all our lives, this is too luxurious." ”

"Anyway, it's the team's money, so I don't have a problem. Leo was optimistic.

Isenus tapped his palms and said to Leo, "Don't be too happy, you heard what the owner said, the Black Volcano, it will leave tomorrow." ”

"How?" Leo didn't put his hand around his neck this time, but just rubbed the fingers of his right hand for a while. "Buy them too?"

After such a battle of purely convincing people with money, Leo was a little fascinated by the feeling of smashing someone down with gold coins like this.

"Are you thinking about again?" said Isennas pressed his temples helplessly. "We're dealing with the Church of Light's Shadow Pursuit Team, and there's no justice or law in front of them, so what's the use of buying the ship and not allowing the captain and crew to drive it? Won't Blandwison rob it, won't force it? That's a special command force under the Church of Light, and money is not as useful as the knives in their hands. ”

That's right, Leo thought to himself.

"So what do we do?"

"Haven't you and little Paul always wanted to make some noise? It just so happens that one of you is suitable for a terrain detective, and the other has learned a little bit of thief skills, go to the Black Volcano to quietly wreak havoc, don't make too much noise. ”

Leo said, "Isn't this still going to be sabotage? ”

"Is this the same as your desire to make a big fuss in the port? Isenus said angrily.

Every time it was time to lay out the plan, the two guys always wanted to jump out and make a mess and add some ideas, so Isenus had to tell again: "Remember, I have three requirements: first, no human life, second, the crew must not find anything unusual when they check the state of the ship, and third, these sabotages can only slow down the Black Volcano, not let the Black Volcano sink." ”

"Insidious enough. Leo gave a thumbs up.

"Go and come back. ”

Isenas waved his hand and kicked the two out.

Ente looked at the two of them in the distance and asked Isennas, "Shall we board the ship now?"

"That's right, let's go talk to the captain. ”

Curious, Rizanka said, "Captain, didn't we talk to the captain?"

"That's the owner, not the captain. The owner of the ship is the owner of the ship, and the captain is the one who drives the ship. Isenus thought for a moment and then explained: "Figuratively speaking, the owner of the ship bought the ship and hired the captain to carry the goods for him, and the owner's income is the income of the goods, and the captain's income comes from the owner's income. ”

"And what are we talking to the captain?"

"Talk about money. The owner of the ship has seven hundred gold coins in his hand, but he will not give the captain an extra copper coin, and if we want the ship to sail fast, we will have to start with the captain and the crew. Isenus looked at the sunset on the surface of the lake and sighed, "If you want to be foolproof, you have to think about everything." ”

"That's the experience of blood. ”
