Located on the southwest coast, Bay Harbor City has developed shipping and prosperous commerce. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Businessmen come and go, bustling together. As a result, many service industries such as restaurants, tea shops, and hotels have emerged in the city.

Chaoxiang House is one of them. The scale is not large, the location is not good, but the business is the hottest.

The reason is very simple, Chaoxianglou's morning tea is very famous. Merchants who come to Bay Harbour City to do business like to come here to drink a cup of cloud tea, have a few special snacks, and chat about business.

Therefore, Chaoxianglou is the most well-informed. In particular, as long as anyone inquires about maritime routes, they can get first-hand information.

In the early morning of this day, before seven o'clock, the hall on the ground floor of Chaoxiang Building was already full. As far as the eye can see, there are Chinese locals, and there are also many Westerners with yellow hair and blue eyes. They are like old acquaintances, in groups of three or five, or chatting and bragging, or talking about buying and selling. The guy who ran the hall carried a copper kettle and shouted hard to add water to make tea for the guests. The voices of the people are noisy and very lively.

"Old Zhou, you have made a fortune this time!"

"Yes! I ran five times in less than two months, and it was still the peak price period, and the round-trip was not empty-handed, and the goods were out of stock and in short supply...... Your brother has completely turned over this time! ”

"Give us a look, how much did you earn?"

A table on the south side. Six or seven merchants gathered, and at this moment they looked at a rich fat old man sitting in the main seat, all of them with envy on their faces.

The fat old man held a purple sand teapot in one hand and a big cigar in the other, and said proudly: "It's not much, I probably earned fifty hangs!" ”

This is the jargon of the running boat business, and a crane represents a million gold dollars. Fifty hangings is a full fifty million gold dollars.

Although Bay Harbor City is not large, it is very wealthy due to its special geographical location and developed commerce. Even so, there are very few merchants who can reach 50 million gold dollars. Especially in just two months, he has earned such a huge fortune.

As soon as the fat old man spoke, he immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding guests.

"Lao Zhou, you are lucky to step on shit."

A Western man at the next table got up and walked over, speaking fluent Chinese, and said with envy on his face: "If it weren't for the defeat of the royal fleet of the Principality of Magnolia by those pirates, we were worried about retribution, and we didn't dare to sail for half a month, you wouldn't have made so much money!" ”

The fat old man smiled: "Who made you Mao Zi not abide by the rules of Lord Skeletron, and still start a war with your own strength...... Now it's a loss, not to mention that the ship was impounded, and thousands of people worked as coolies on Fengwei Island. ”

"Not only that, their Western fleet is now being levied three times the water money!"

"This is a good thing for us, otherwise the market will be occupied by foreign hair!"

The businesses next to it gloated. In the past, Western caravans relied on ships and guns to navigate unimpeded waterways, and the trafficking of goods accounted for eighty percent of the market share. Today, we are frustrated, the rate of water money is high, the cost of trade has increased, and the favorable conditions for competition have been lost.

"It was the royal fleet of the Principality of Magnolia that was defeated, not the entire Saas Empire...... You wait and see, the empire will never allow this situation to continue, and will definitely send troops to encircle and suppress it! The Western man said with a smug face.

"Less bragging!"

The fat old man disagreed, squinted his eyes and shook his head, and said, "Everyone who runs the ship knows that the three pirates of the Chaos Sea are the most powerful...... In the past, none of them were exterminated by officers and soldiers, but now the three pirates are all under the command of Lord Skeletron, and their strength has increased greatly, and they want to encircle and suppress them...... Let's go for it! ”

"In my opinion, you still obediently pay for the water!"

"If you anger the Skeletron and seal the waterway, don't even think of a single ship from your Western caravan!"

Peers are a family. Peers are enemies. Seeing the deflated face of the Western man, other merchants fell into the well and ridiculed.

"The navy of my Sass Empire is extremely powerful, which is beyond your imagination!" Western men are still hard-mouthed.

The fat old man glanced at him and said unhurriedly: "Little Smith, for the sake of your father and our friendship, I will give you a word of advice, the most powerful under the command of Lord Skeletron is not the pirate team, but the relics...... Thousands of relict warriors! ”

At this point, he deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Although the relics are not welcomed in our ancient dynasty, in your Sass Empire, the relics are high gods, and their status is extremely high. I don't need to say more, you should know very well how powerful the Divine Descent is...... The strong among them are not afraid of the firearms of you Westerners at all! ”

It's true. When the Western man named Smith heard this, he pinched his nose and returned to his place in a silent manner.

The fat old man laughed when he saw this. Others don't mention it, he is most grateful to the Skeleton King, if it weren't for the other party, the pirates of the Chaos Sea are raging, and if you want to run away and get rich, it is a job to lift your head and play with your life, and if you don't do well, you will lose both people and money. Now look at the right time, not only to completely solve the troubles at home, but also to easily earn the wealth that ordinary people can't spend in a few lifetimes. As you can imagine, he was grateful to the Skeletron, and of course he had to speak for the other party.

"Old Zhou, I heard that you have seen Lord Skeletron?"

"Tell us, is he as rumored, two feet tall, bloody and fanged, and hideous in appearance, like a man-eating beast?"

Some merchants asked curiously. They were very interested in the true face of Lord Skeletron, who dominated the Chaos Sea.

"!"

The fat old man's face was full of disdain, and then he said with a smug face: "To tell you the truth, my old Zhou is very honored to be the first person to be charged for the Skeleton King's set up a checkpoint to pump money!" ”

It was an experience that I will never forget. The fat old man said in a colorful voice, and in his mouth, the Skeleton King was simply a handsome and chic, heroic and martial man, and a peerless beautiful man who looked better than Pan An. Not only that, but the heart is also very good, the first time the money is pumped, it is convenient, and it is allowed to make an IOU and pay it back.

He had seen the Skeleton King of the Sea of Chaos with his own eyes, and it had long been rumored in the market. Therefore, the guests present did not suspect that there was a fake, and they listened attentively one by one.

In particular, there were five guests not far from the adjacent table, who seemed to be paying close attention and listening attentively to what the fat old man had to say.

"That's not right...... That man doesn't seem to be as handsome as the old man says! A young man in purple sitting on the main seat muttered in a low voice. He looked in his twenties, handsome, with slightly drooping eyes, giving people a very intimate feeling.

"There are many exaggerations in the market, the second young master doesn't have to take it seriously!"

A burly man sitting opposite the purple-clothed young man looked solemn and said slowly: "The news given by the Chen family is directly from the Anling Palace, there should be no fake!" ”

The purple-clothed young man nodded, and at the same time, a flash of anger flashed on his face, "If it's really 'he' who robbed my fleet and kidnapped my little sister, Lao Tzu will definitely not let go of this dog!" ”

As a result of his emotions, his pitch is a little high. The big man sitting opposite hurriedly signaled his eyes and whispered: "There are many people here, let's be careful when we talk!" ”

The young man in purple nodded. Then he looked at a man next to him, lowered his voice and asked, "Have you notified Uncle Nine?" When will he arrive? ”

"Second Young Master, rest assured, your handwritten letter has been delivered, ten minutes at most, and someone will definitely arrive!"

"Good! Gao Xin, you go find a box and wait for Uncle Nine to come...... We have a place to talk! ”

"Yes!"
