As soon as he thought of this, Fang Senyan couldn't help but feel that the courage of this Governor Swan was not small, and he even invited the merchants of the enemy country to come. It is said that the governor at that time was as powerful as a king, and it seems that it is indeed not a lie that the country is rich. If it weren't for a hawkish young general like Norrington, I am afraid that Governor Swan would be even more unscrupulous.
In the original plot, Governor Swann also wholeheartedly wanted to promote the marriage of his daughter Elizabeth and Norrington, which should also be related to this aspect.
However, this time there was Fernandez, an uninvited guest with great financial resources, at the fair, and he was afraid that what he looked down on would be difficult for others to snatch. The celebrity of the enemy country can also play a catfish effect at the auction, muddying the otherwise calm water in order to make more profit at auction.
At this time, the black buddy suddenly said:
"It's time to start the auction."
Sure enough, Mr. McKinney, who was very noble, gently knocked off the gavel in his hand, knocked it three times in a row, and coughed:
"I'm sorry to say that, but please be quiet, the auction is about to start."
The people who came here still gave him face, probably for the sake of Governor Swan. Suddenly there was silence, even for the rough pirates.
At this time, Yurina, the blonde woman who looked like Elizabeth, had already taken the notebook next to her, and said with a sweet smile:
"Due to the absence of Colonel Norrington – I heard that he will soon be a brigadier general – we were able to successfully start our auction this time, and the time is tight, so the first items of the auction will be announced below."
Everyone fell silent, and according to the custom, the value of the first and last items in the auction was quite precious, and it was the best of the auction items, and its intention was naturally to make a good start, plus the final grand slam to close the palace.
At this time, someone from the side door at the back walked in carrying a huge wooden box. Behind the auctioneer, there is a large platform, which is usually used for teaching Mass or singing hymns. At this time, it was sorted out, and it can be seen that five or six black slaves carrying wooden boxes and struggling to put them on the platform for buyers to observe.
As it was put down, the wooden chest made an overwhelmed sound, and then the sheltered plank was removed, revealing a dark mechanical murder weapon. It looked like it was supposed to be a large harpoon cannon made with precision craftsmanship, but the surface was stained with cloudy jet-black stains, and at first glance it looked like it was covered in rust, but on closer inspection, it was an illusion.
Just by seeing this thing, you can feel an infinite ferocious aura emanating from the upper side, as if it is about to turn into many invisible arms to choke people's necks!
"Greenland murder weapon, this is a giant harpoon cannon that has been cast for nearly a hundred years, and the harpoon shot is held by mysterious black magic, plus the power of machinery to launch it!" "It had been placed on the whaling ship Daggins for thirty years, slaughtering at least thousands of whales and sucking their souls, not only has a terrifying killing effect on marine creatures, but can even launch illusions of whale souls to attack enemies when attacking ships. The sailors on the ship that are hit will be in a great panic. ”
"This harpoon cannon is extremely useful whether it is used to hunt and kill the sea creatures or to engage in broadside warfare at sea, everyone should have heard of it, the former captain of the famous Queen Anne's Revenge was shot by it."
The blonde Yurina on the stage had a beautiful voice and spoke eloquently like a treasure.
"Of course, you must be reminded that in order to control this powerful harpoon, you must also have a special person to carry out the relevant operations, otherwise the controller will suffer a curse. Prices start at £5,000 and increase by £1,000 each time. ”
Fang Senyan noticed that this woman cleverly did not mention the range of the harpoon, which should be a shortcoming. Compared with the firing range of several kilometers of artillery, it is difficult for the harpoon cannon to shoot more than 800 meters even if it has witchcraft, so the status of this medium-range weapon is a little awkward. ,
But in desperation, since the price was called and no one followed, then he could only pinch his nose and admit it. Fang Senyan followed the attendant next to him and handed over 11,000 gold pounds, so he had to get his hands on this expensive harpoon cannon worth a brand-new warship. At this time, because he had smuggled goods from Tetuga and made a lot of money, the gold pounds on his body were back to six figures, and 11,000 gold pounds were not enough to break his bones.
When he returned to the auction hall after the delivery, the Armand man who was likely to be Armand's representative also joined in the shopping struggle, and what was being auctioned was a good-looking stabbing sword, with a faint silver light on the surface, which looked quite sharp, Fang Senyan couldn't help but think of Armand as soon as he saw this sword, it was estimated that this person just wanted to buy it to honor him.
"A thousand pounds!"
Wahab the Atala Tabo quoted an updated price. Before Fang Senyan could sit down, he immediately shouted:
"Two thousand pounds!"
Fang Senyan's offer was purely to disgust people and make him spend more money, and at the same time, it also gave people the illusion that he wanted to buy everything, so that others could not figure out what he wanted. The Atala Bo man turned his head to look, and immediately saw Fang Senyan who was at ease, and then a sneer appeared on his face.
"Five thousand pounds!"
This Atala Tab, called Wahab, immediately showed his wealth. It has a bit of the style of the tycoon of the oil kingdom in later generations. Five thousand pounds was already equivalent to a brand-new merchant ship, and he raised his eyelids to so much at once, which immediately gave people the feeling that he was really not bad for money.
