Chapter 64: Rescuing Old Jones
Nestled in the crook of Aguit's legs, it was extraordinary and difficult to sleep.
He wasn't thinking about the interests of Grand Duke Vasari's position, but about the benefits of saving Graybeard Jones.
The military minister and the finance minister of the free city-state of Saint-Trite are at odds, while Lisa, a diplomat who is close to her, is the finance minister.
As for the Minister of State, whose power is only under the Grand Duke of Vasari, that is the iron of the Grand Duke.
If you think about it, rescuing Graybeard Jones doesn't necessarily have a better relationship with the officials of the military secretary's family.
Get the friendship of a pirate group that can rank in the top 20 in strength in Freeport, the four oceans are so big that you can't go anywhere.
Extraordinary is a good person, and the Graybeard Pirates have a good reputation in the entire Santerrite, and the old Jones's courage at the end of the naval battle is also very impressive.
Then save people, but how to save them?
Graybeard Jones will definitely be brought to St. Trite for public trial, not to mention far away, just to say that this battle of Volcanic Island, the Sea Guard suffered hundreds of casualties, and these must be counted on the head of old Jones.
Needless to say, none of the pirates have plundered merchant ships or kidnapped fishing villages near the sea.
In terms of wind criticism, the Graybeard Pirates are one of the few righteous pirates who only want money and do not harm people's lives.
With his teleportation skills, Extraordinary can stealthily take Jones Sr., and William Kidman picks him up at the port docks.
Pick up Jones and sail straight out of port, away from St. Trit.
The trouble is how to meet the old Jones, and even if he does, how to win the trust of the old pirates.
"Forget it, these turns are a headache for others!"
In his sleep, he dreamed of the golden island in the depths of the sea, and on the golden reef, the blonde mermaid with waist-length hair hugged the harp in her arms, playing notes that made people forget their sorrows.
The next day, after breakfast, Extraordinary was invited to the captain's room.
In the neat and simple cabin, the three of them sat around a square table.
Röntgen Brontë, the captain of the "Roentgen", was sitting in his thirties, with a touch of beard adding a bit of elegance, and the three-point armor, shoulder armor and cuirass were not low at a glance.
Extraordinary is the first time I have seen the highest combat power in this pirate group, the seventh-order Earth Sword Master, and the eighth-order Sky Sword Master is only one step away.
Another extraordinary person didn't expect to be here, Tim Odyssey, the first mate of the Williams.
If there is one of the three people in front of him who wants to rescue Captain Jones the most, I am afraid that this person is this person.
The muscles are exposed, the simple leather armor is only to cover the shame, and a pair of eyes like bells are staring at the extraordinary, but the extraordinary can see the kindness in these big eyes.
When he learns that William Kidman informs him of a discussion on a plan to rescue Daddy Jones, the big man shows the composure he deserves.
After a simple repair, the steam unit was already operational, and the two battleships turned due north, facing the wind and waves, accompanied by the sea breeze, and sailed to the free port of Santrite.
On the Williams, the guards outside the captain's room were kicked out of the room, but table slapping and yelling could still be heard in the room.
"Hmph! After a whole morning of discussion, nothing came to fruition!I think you two just don't want to save Daddy Jones, so Graybeard is your leader!" Tim Odyssey blushed and squirted at the three people in the room.
"Odyssey, watch your words! Here are two captains, what about the manners that Daddy Jones taught you?Ask Kidman, who of us doesn't want to rescue Daddy!" Röntgen Brontë's roar was no weaker than a man.
Extraordinary sees a lot and talks little, but at this time you can't keep your mouth shut.
"Don't quarrel with the two, First Officer Tim don't talk about directly sending a high-level death squad to raid Freeport, what kind of place is it? The Sword Saint doesn't dare to mess around, I still say the same, you just need to determine the location where Old Jones is being held, and leave the rest to me! You can be responsible for answering outside the port!"
Extraordinary spoke very clearly, but unfortunately only William Kidman believed in the three people in the room.
Extraordinary is famous in the kingdom of Orlanto, and the pirates who wander on the sea only know about extraordinary whiskey, and their knowledge is very limited.
Besides, it's normal for a hairless teenager who has become famous by virtue of the Chamber of Commerce and trade not to be trusted.
Obviously, neither Röntgen nor Tim knew about the Crystal Essence Space Ring.
As long as William Kidman made things clear, I believe they would have believed that they would take risks for the sake of such a large fortune.
But if the rescue plan fails, the Crystal Ring will be the curse, whether it is Extraordinary or William, it will be hot.
Old Jones's flagships are all primary-middle-grade high-grade magic crystals, and the most valuable crystal essence and magic metal materials are missing, so it's very simple, or on the two black iron battleships that escaped, even if they don't know the news.
All that remains is to be surrounded by the Coast Guard in the Endless Sea, unless William and Röntgen are far away from the Endless Sea and run to the outer ocean.
The Elven Tree Sea, the Arctic Ocean, including the four oceans of the Extreme South Flame Sea, that kind of place, once you go, you don't know if you can come back in your lifetime.
What is the biggest benefit of the pirates? Raid? No, trade.
So Extraordinary wanted to win people's trust, and facilitated the largest coffee whiskey trade order with the Graybeard Pirates.
Will the Pirates with Black Iron-class warships be short of gold?
Therefore, the deposit paid by William and the three became three insurance deeds of up to 1,000 amethyst coins each.
Extraordinary left the captain's room and went to the dining room, and the remaining three stared at the blood beads on their fingers, feeling like they were in a hurry to sign a contract of sale.
"Captain William, is this friend of yours reliable?" asked Captain Röntgen, uneasy, looking at his extraordinary back.
Before William could make a sound, the first mate Tim snorted coldly: "The people in the Chamber of Commerce are greedy, he wants to empty all the gold coins of our pirates, then he will try his best to save Daddy Jones!"
Gotcha, the stupid big guy finished saying what he wanted to say.
Extraordinary went to the restaurant not hungry, but angry.
If the three contracts are sincere, he is just around the corner from becoming an advanced insurer, and now among the three, only William Kidman is sincere in signing the contract.
"It's better that these three guys hang up for no reason, otherwise they won't know where to send the insurance money when they die!"
The insurance contract of 1,000 purple gold coins will compensate for the insurance amount of 100 times, which means that the insurance association will come up with 100,000 amethyst coins.
As far as Extraordinary knows, each of the Coast Guards in Freeport has property contract insurance, but the ship's compensation is one-to-one, which means that if the battleship sinks or gets lost in the Endless Sea, as long as the insurance contract retained by the association is established, it must pay for the warship.
Each Black Iron-class battleship only needs 5,000 Amethyst coins, and the value of these three pirate leaders is equivalent to one-third of the warship.
To be precise, the Williams and Röntgen are still in the waters of the "Lighthouse Outpost", sailing north for three days, turning due east, and only ten days away from Freeport Saint-Trite.
It only takes five days at full speed, and three days at top speed.
