Chapter 45: A Chance Encounter at the Gate of the Governor's Palace
After coming here, Fang Senyan had made clear a few things he wanted to do:
The first is to sell the goods of Tetuga, which is a very lucrative deal, and can inject at least 20,000 gold pounds into the rapidly shrinking treasury.
Then I checked it out at the Governor's Palace, and although I knew that Miss Elizabeth's gold coin was definitely not so easy to get, I had to try it anyway. It is worth mentioning that the curse of the Aztecs attached to the gold coin actually comes from the chest containing the gold coins, as long as the gold coins are taken out of the box containing the gold coins, they will be cursed, and Turner and Elizabeth's gold coins are not taken by them, but just transferred to them, so they are not cursed.
If at this point Jack. If Mr. Sparrow hadn't arrived at Port Royal yet, Fang Senyan wouldn't mind paying a visit to Will, who was still making a cameo appearance as a blacksmith's apprentice. Mr. Turner, after all, he is likely to be the next captain of the Flying Dutchman.
In the end, the reason why Fang Senyan was desperately trying to make money was for consumption, and the gold pound did not mean much to the contractor. However, Fang Senyan had heard from the pirates that there was also a powerful alchemist living in Port Royal, whose achievements were not in any way inferior to that of the previous dead ghost Mr. Bacon. Fang Senyan clearly knew that the quality of alchemists' services was often linked to the number of gold pounds, which was why he was so keen on earning money.
Although the incorruptible Colonel Norrington strictly forbade sī, a privileged class that flouted the law would exist wherever it was. Whether foreign or Chinese, whether in the Middle Ages or in modern times. As long as there are high profits, then there will be acquirers.
For example, according to Philip's intelligence, this business house called "Sherfield" seems to only be in the red wine business on the surface, but the owner dares to accept anything...... For according to the exact information, the master behind the boss is none other than the father of the beautiful Miss Elizabeth, the governor of Port Royal, Swan. He was an old-fashioned and kind father, but also a shrewd and greedy governor
Needless to say, the process of the transaction did not take much effort to sacrifice his two ** treasures of foaming debate and crackling abacus, which was very civilized and made the shopkeeper obey. In the end, Mr. McKinney, the polite and gentlemanly shopkeeper, wiped a cold sweat and sent them out. Fang Senyan had an extra profit of nearly 30,000 gold coins on his account.
Just when the two sides were about to separate, Mr. McKinney's seemingly cloudy old eyes suddenly showed a shrewd look, took out a gilded business card that looked very exquisite from his sleeve, coughed twice, and said to the other party:
"Ladies and gentlemen, since the cooperation between the two sides has made such a good start, then you Yijing has the qualifications to become the VIP of our store, there will be a ten-point auction tomorrow, if you are interested, you can participate with this business card I must add one point: since the wise Colonel Norrington took over Port Royal, this kind of auction is still the first time, and the next one is far away, so there will definitely be what you want in this auction, of course, Being able to buy it depends on your financial resources. ”
"What do we want?" The black buddy grinned silently, there was no malice in his smile, but he laughed at himself because of the difficulty of starting the Aztec gold coin.
But old McKinney understood the smile of this "black slave" as a kind of contempt and ridicule, and it is well known that the politeness of the British is just to hide the arrogance in their bones, so the old man immediately stepped forward, straightened his wig, and lowered his face with a calm face:
"What if I told a couple that among the goods in this auction was twenty brand-new cannon guns that had just been ordered from Huilai from Hamburg, ranging from three to seven pounds. So will this gentleman put away the contemptuous smile on your face? ”
It doesn't matter if the black buddies and the reef are two, but Fang Senyan and Mr. Gibbs were taken aback when they heard the five words of the canon cannon, for this era, the usual effective range of artillery is a few hundred meters, and the cannon cannon has both the ultra-long range of the cannon and the accuracy of the cannon. The firing range can be almost doubled, and the accuracy is the same as the rest of the guns!
Of course, such a cutting-edge weapon was wanted by everyone, but due to the manufacturing process problems at the time, the scrap rate was high and the cost remained high when it left the factory. To put it bluntly, if a Tier III ship were to be equipped with Cannon, it would cost enough money to build five Tier III ships of the same tier. , This thing can be obtained at this auction, which is enough to show that the **yijing of Port Royal is at the root, and these twenty brand-new cannon guns must have intercepted the arms that were originally to be distributed to Norrington. At this time, take advantage of Norrington's battle outside to take it out and sell it on sale!
Fang Senyan's face also became solemn:
"I'm sorry, sir, I apologize to you for his ignorance, I'm honored to be invited, and I'll be sure to be here on time tomorrow."
Old McKinney's pride was finally satisfied, he bowed slightly with his head held high, and then walked away without looking back with that kind of pride that was all too stylish. After Fang Senyan thought about it, he raised the invitation card in his hand and said with a smile:
"As soon as he said that, I was still interested in this auction."
At this time, Mr. Gibbs naturally began to urge Fang Senyan to find the head of the detective, Jack. Mr. Sparrow's whereabouts, but Fang Senyan knew that if the normal plot developed, it would most likely take two or three days, and he would appear when Colonel Norrington was promoted to brigadier general.
Norrington's rise to brigadier general was apparently due to the fact that he had made a great deal of merit in the battle with the Sival Pirate Group. Of course, Fang Senyan's own analysis and judgment would not just tell dear Mr. Gibbs like this, but for Mr. Gibbs, who had been in ruins for several years, even though he noticed that Fang Senyan was deliberately delaying, he didn't think that there would be any harm in enjoying the days of being fed with good wine and meat in the tavern.
Clearly, the Doge's Residence, perched on the hillside behind the harbour, is the most luxurious building in the whole of Port Royal. Norrington, the only one with the same rank as the Governor, was entitled to such a luxurious mansion, but he was a strict man and a strict self-discipline, and his residence was in the barracks and very simple. Therefore, Fang Senyan and the others did not spend much effort to find the Governor's Mansion.
Probably because the security situation in Port Royal was quite good, Fang Senyan and the others did not find too strict guards here, and the only threat was the two sailors, who yawned heavily at the door of the Governor's Palace, looking very sluggish.
However, according to Fang Senyan's inquiry, it was found that Norrington was indeed a good leader, and the average of these two of his descendants and sailors guarding was about thirty points, which seemed to be relatively modest, but the two abilities they possessed were tricky.
Ability 1: Team Spirit Lv4 (Passive), every time you add a companion to your side, your health will increase by 10,000 points, up to 40,000 points of health.
Lv4 Effect: Adds 10,000 HP.
Ability 2: Ambush Lv1 (Active), this ability can only be activated when the enemy is facing away, using a firearm or throwing a sailor knife to give the enemy a vital point in the back, causing them to fall into a bleeding state and reduce their movement speed by 50%, lasting 15 seconds. This ability has a cooldown: 10 seconds......
The first of these two abilities is to prevent them from being killed quickly, and the second is to make them quickly trip you up when you want to escape. And Fang Senyan also carefully observed, this place was only a mile away from the barracks in a straight line, unless it was like the Black Pearl in the plot to attack and invade, otherwise, once the gunshots in the Governor's Mansion rang out, then within five minutes, the entire barracks would flock in.
At this moment, Fang Senyan suddenly saw that the iron door of the Governor's Mansion was opened, and a young man walked out, with a long box under his armpits, and he would look at the Governor's Mansion reluctantly every few steps.
Following his gaze, he could see a blonde woman behind the second-floor window of the Governor's Palace, watching him leave. When the young man turned his head, Fang Senyan suddenly realized that this handsome man wearing gray sètuǐ socks, a scottish skirt, and a red sè tie should be one of the purposes of his trip. Turner.
Obviously, the beautiful girl behind the window is Miss Elizabeth, compared to her pure beauty appearance, it is hard to imagine that she is so sharp, so good at using her own unique charm weapon, that even Jack. Mr. Sparrow was also toyed with by her under the pomegranate skirt.
After Fang Senyan closed his gaze from the window on the second floor, he saw Mr. Wiltner walking over to his group with a calm face:
"What the hell are you doing here?"
Fang Senyan stood up and said:
"I'm from the East, and I've heard that the Republic of Great Britain is rich in products, so I came here to find some special products to be shipped back to the East for sale."
Wiltner stared at Fang Senyan's eyes with distrust, obviously distrusting his statement:
"Then the place you go should be the Exchange, not at the door of the Governor's Mansion!" RO!。
