113. Buddhist Trade (Fourth Update!) )
Lu Cheng was right, the pirates were very clever, and when they realized that something was wrong, they immediately slipped into the captives and waited for an opportunity.
The captain of the merchant ship Laughter counted the crew members in turn, and the pirates hiding inside saw that they couldn't hide and planned to fight to the death, but before they could fight, they were directly taken down by their comrades in Lucheng.
"These pirates are left to you to deal with, and it is up to you to decide whether you want to throw them into the sea to feed the sharks or lock them up."
Lu Cheng counted the number of pirates on the deck, and in the end there were only nine surviving pirates, plus another merchant ship named the Goddess, a total of fifteen pirates.
This time, there were a total of twenty-two rescue teams sent by the Shangcheng ship, and Lu Cheng directly used the seal to conduct reconnaissance in advance, and after locating each target, he directly used the portal to teleport the team members to the ship.
The result of this series of arrangements is that the pirates have not yet reacted, 'Is there an enemy on board?' And they were all killed.
The total number of pirates killed was fifty, and the two giant pirate ships together probably had about two hundred people.
That's not a small amount.
"Your Excellency, aren't you going to deal with them?"
At this time, the captain had already seen that Lu Cheng was the leader of this rescue team, and the captain did not dare to ask Lu Cheng how he killed these pirates, he only knew that he was saved by a group of good people.
"We have little interest in executions." Lu Cheng said.
"And what do you want?"
The captain asked this sentence with some caution, the captain didn't think that this group of people was helping them for free, they had the ability to kill so many pirates in an instant, in a sense, they were even more terrifying than pirates.
"You often travel back and forth between the two countries of Xiuen Zhelai and the Gray Feather Kingdom?"
Lu Cheng glanced at the captain, and just looking at the pot-bellied figure, he didn't look like an old captain, but more like a shrewd businessman.
"Yes, Your Excellency, I am one of the heads of the White Salt Chamber of Commerce, do you have any needs?" The captain sensed the danger and the opportunity at the same time.
"Chamber of Commerce? There is already such an organization in this day and age ... It doesn't matter, do me a favor. ”
Lu Cheng had an improvised plan after learning that the ship that the pirates had hijacked was a merchant ship, and this was also the request that Lu Cheng made to the merchant in his private capacity.
"We're here to help." The captain said.
"When you go to the Gray Feather Kingdom or the Far Southern Empire in the future, you will spread a rumor and news, Scarley is willing to accept outsiders, and can give every outsider a living security, roughly this means."
Lu Cheng didn't expect this small merchant to start any immigration boom in the Far Southern Empire and the Gray Feather Kingdom, but it was always good to help behind the scenes.
"This request..."
He had a look of embarrassment on his face, if Lu Cheng asked for any gold, silver and jewelry as a reward, he would definitely gladly accept it, but Lu Cheng asked for not a reward, but a commission.
"I think your Chamber of Commerce will be interested in this product." Lu Cheng opened the portal and took out a lighter from it.
Before the captain could ask Lu Cheng what the little box in his hand was for, Lu Cheng pressed the lighter on the lighter... A small string of flames came out of it, and the captain instantly knew how valuable and potential this thing really was!
There are many ways to light a fire in this world, the most commonly used is to use flint, and there is a mineral called ignition stone, but because it is an alchemy material, it is more expensive, followed by some fire-breathing creatures, such as the most common salamander, and the feather can emit high temperatures.
In addition, because of the existence of fire magic, the people of this world have another choice, and there are only a few sealers after all, and most of the spellcasters are under the noble sect.
So the world still lacks a simple way to ignite.
"Of course interested, you... Are you going to sell us this? The captain made himself look calmer.
"Sell? Forget it. ”
Lu Cheng took out a large box of lighters from the portal, which Lu Cheng originally intended to be used as a commodity for business talks, so he had prepared a lot of them at the beginning.
"It's all the same commodity, called lighters... You don't need to pay, you just need to spread the rumors I mentioned earlier in the Far Southern Empire and the Grey Feather Kingdom, and then help transport the people you want to go to Scarley... Travelers on the line. ”
The conditions proposed by Lu Cheng are very simple, and this transaction seems to be very simple, there is not even a contractual contract, everything is a verbal promise.
"This is the first batch of goods, if you have an effect, I will give you a second batch." The box of lighters given by Lu Cheng is only more than two hundred yuan on the earth.
Even if this merchant didn't have a good head and swallowed this batch of goods alone, Lu Cheng wouldn't lose much, but if his head wasn't bright, this guy might not be so fat and still sit in the captain's position.
If he wants more benefits, then he will definitely listen to Lu Cheng and do it.
"Your Excellency! How can we contact you? ”
This captain has never seen such a business talk, it's like throwing money on the table and telling you, 'This business is handed over to you, it doesn't matter if it succeeds or not.'" Then he walked away.
But he was not so stupid as to be blinded by short-term interests in front of him.
"How to contact? If you go to Scalley often to talk about business, you will have a chance to buy these goods again. ”
Lu Cheng had already told the merchant how to get rich, and after leaving the key information of Scarley, Lu Cheng ignored the captain and looked at Agen, who had been staring at him.
"Are you a Scarley?" Agen stared at Lu Cheng for a long time and asked this question.
"I'm from the Celestial Empire, not from Scarre, but Scarley is our ally."
Lu Cheng pointed to his brown pupils, which were crimson even though Scarley was also black-haired.
"Celestial Empire...", Agen read the unfamiliar word, and Agen glanced at the pirate ship that had turned into a pile of scrap planks drifting on the surface of the sea in the distance, "You really took Scarley's..."
"Stop, I don't want to repeat what I just said, and the woman in your arms doesn't seem to be in good shape."
After Lu Cheng was strengthened by the Holy Crystal, he could indeed feel something like the breath of life and the breath of magic, and Lu Cheng relied on this perception to detect that Agen's wife was in a state of serious illness.
"If she doesn't receive treatment, she may die in a few days." Lu Cheng told Agen something he knew for a long time.
