The fat man walked into this tavern and was a little surprised, this tavern was actually well kept, and the floor was clean, which is rare in the port of Casablanca, no, it should be said that it is rare in the whole of Europe.

The fat man had not been in Casablanca for a short time, chaotic, filthy and destitute, numb civilians, without toilets, defecating on the streets, and the dung of cows, horses, and mules was pulled on the streets and no one was sweeping them.

There are often people who catch each other and beat each other on the street, and there are also drunk people who walk and sleep on the street, which often makes him sigh that this may also be a big port city in Europe.

Accustomed to seeing the dirt and mess of this city, he suddenly came to a fairly clean tavern, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Oh! Look who's coming, it turns out to be our Lord the Baron of the East, welcome! "It turned out to be the old man of the Duke of Auston, and when he came out, he made a noble salute to the fat man.

The fat man hurriedly replied with a bow, and then said strangely: "Dear Duke Auston, don't tell me that you opened this tavern. ”

The old man smiled: "Why can't I open it?" ”

"Aren't you from Bordeaux, France? How do you get to Casablanca, Portugal to open a tavern? The fat man asked curiously.

"Who told you that the French can't go to a foreign country and open a tavern?" The old man said proudly: "I basically have a little business in any port in the Mediterranean, of course, opening such a tavern is just a matter of taking what you need, I need the sailors and captains on the ship to bring me all kinds of news, and the sailors and captains also need to borrow my place to have a drink or two, and relax by the way, you know, life at sea is very hard." ”

"Alright! Did you get any news from the captains? The fat man asked.

Duke Auston smiled: "Some time ago I learned from them that a captain had come from the East, and he had brought a very magical wine. ”

"Alright! So, is there anything I can do for you? Your Excellency, Duke! The fat man had no choice but to ask.

"No, no, no! You came to my tavern because I asked you if there was anything I could do to help you? Duke Alston said with a smile.

"Alright! I'm here to recruit two first mates, and some sailors, and I'm going to go to sea in two days, do you have any good proposals? ”

"You're going to recruit two first mates? Two boats! Duke Auston asked solemnly.

The fat man nodded: "Yes, I plan to recruit a first mate on a ship, and now the captain has it, the son of Duke William, Arthur. William. ”

"Nope! You're wrong! Duke Auston said solemnly: "You are always unpredictable about things at sea, so you need to have two more first mates, just in case." ”

"Is it really that serious?" Fat people have no experience with this.

"Yes! It's serious, you know, when you go to sea, you are all about fighting gold coins with your life, and there are often situations where you can't come back when you go out, and if something happens to your first mate, are you willing to hand over the ship to a sailor who can't even read the charts? ”

"Therefore, the ship that goes to sea generally has a first mate and a second officer, they are responsible for the ship, the trivial matters on the ship, and the captain is the person who makes decisions on the ship, a captain should not put himself in the position of the helmsman, nor in the position of a sailor, let alone put himself in the position of the first officer and the second mate to take care of those trivial matters, the captain is to take the chart, point to the direction, and tell his subordinates, in that direction, there is our goal."

The old man spoke seriously, which made the fat man a little moved, but the fat man suddenly came to his senses and looked at the old man a little vigilantly: "There is a saying in our hometown, which is called to be a traitor or a thief if you have nothing to do." ”

This sentence blinded the old man: "What do you mean? ”

"There is no love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason, when a person is suddenly very good to you, it must have an ulterior purpose." The fat man said, "Is that so?" Lord Duke! ”

"It can be said that the words of your hometown are really philosophical." The old man nodded and sighed after chewing on the fat man's words. "Yes, I had a special purpose for you."

The fat man thought to himself, I know that you old man is a person who can't afford to be early.

Then he didn't speak, just waited for the old man to tell his purpose, he had already planned it in his heart, if it was easy to do, and the reward was enough, then help him do it, if it was not easy to do, or there was little oil and water, then it would be embarrassing.

The old man shook his head: "No, now you recruit people first, and then we will talk carefully." ”

"Okay!" The fat man called the waiter at the tavern: "If I want to invite everyone in the room to a glass of ale, how much will it cost?" ”

The waiter counted the heads in the room: "Sir, a total of one gold coin is enough, and the fraction is counted." ”

"Good!" A gold coin appeared between the fat man's fingers and was tossed to the waiter.

The waiter took it very skillfully, turned cleanly to carry the wine, and cried out in a loud voice: "All the people in the room will receive a cup of ale from the noble gentleman, let us cheer for the generous gentleman!" ”

There was a cry of ghosts and wolves in the room, and the captains stood up and said words of thanks in a witty manner, and the fat man also looked at the names and levels they showed one by one, and found several captains with advanced sailing skills, among them there was actually a woman, what is the situation, but since they are senior captains, then call them here and ask!

He asked Duke Auston for a quieter room, and asked the waiter to help him call in the four captains he had just seen, while he sat in the room and waited, thinking about the information about the four captains he had just seen.

Erif, who only has a name and no surname, is just a commoner, but his eleventh level of sailing experience is more than twice as high as the common four or five levels in the house, and the trade experience of up to level nine makes the fat man look up to him, that is, the combat experience is low, only level seven, but it is okay.

Wolflin, who also has no surname, seems to be a civilian, with ten levels of sailing experience, nine levels of trade experience, and eight levels of combat experience.

O'neill. Han Lin, thirty years old, a former French nobleman, drifted at sea because of vendetta and became a pirate, sailing level 20, trade level 4, combat level 24, he would be an excellent sea killer, but he could not be a good businessman, with the natural skill armor piercing, armor-piercing talent is the ability to control metal elements, can attach rich metal elements to fists or weapons or cannonballs, destroy the enemy's body, blade or ship defense, is a very strong offensive skill.

Katerina. Senny, twenty-one years old, a former noble daughter who followed her father in the seas since she was a child, her father was a viscount, and he had long ago walked between the Mediterranean and the ports of Northern Europe, earning a large fortune, but in one night he encountered a storm at sea, Caterina survived, but her father was gone, and along with the loss of the huge wealth that her father had saved, which was divided up by the greedy nobles, and even the castle was occupied by other territories, and she was currently desperate;

Seventeen levels of navigation, seventeen levels of trade, and seventeen levels of combat, she has been running around with her father since she was a child, and she has a balanced development that others can't imagine, what an all-rounder! Possessing the soul skill is a kind of spiritual use, and people with this skill will easily gain the trust of others, and it will be easy to get the secrets of other people's hearts.

It's a combination of the name of the red-haired queen and the skill of the pirate king Kidd, get her and you'll feel like you've got the whole world, come on! Juvenile!

All right! The display function is useful.

Looking at the four people sitting solemnly in the room, the fat man slowly spoke: "Originally, I only wanted to recruit two first mates, but the respected old French Duke Auston told me that it is better to have a first mate and a second mate on a ship, okay!" If I don't miss this amount of money, then I will recruit two first officers and two second officers. ”

"Well, I'll just ask four questions now, and if your answer makes me feel okay, then we're in the same boat, and I'll be your fleet commander;

First question, Erif, Wolfflin, you two captains have run a lot of boats, I don't know what the salary requirements? ”

Elive stood up first: "Captain, a thousand gold coins, if you give me a thousand gold coins a year, then I will work for you, yes, only a thousand gold coins!" ”

"Good! I'll give you a thousand gold coins, and you're now the second officer on my flagship Yinglong!" The fat man didn't say a word, and with a wave of his hand, a pile of gold coins was placed on the table in front of Erif: "This is a thousand gold coins, yours." ”

The eyes of the four people are straight, but some look at the gold coin, and some look at the fat man's hand, they don't understand where the gold coin comes from, this is also the fat man's scheming, maintaining the mystery that a superior person should have is a must for every leader.

Elive stood up with a "Teng", his eyes stared at the gold coins, and he just wanted to reach out, but he took his hand back: "Captain, according to the rules, you only need to give one-third of the settlement, and then count the rest when you come back, I can't take the one thousand gold coins here, you still give me one-third!" ”

The fat man waved his hand: "If you want to take it, you can take it!" Hurry back and settle down, because I will go to sea in the next two days, and what I need is for you to help me without worries, and not to worry about the children at home not being able to eat brown bread when I am at sea. ”

With tears in his eyes, Eriff bowed to the fat man and said in a choked voice, "Captain, I will give you all my loyalty!" ”

"Good! All I need is your loyalty! The fat man saw that the white name on Elive's head quickly turned light blue and jumped over the green, and he couldn't help but feel confident in his performance.

Then swept his gaze over the names above the other people's heads, and the three white names that had changed from passers-by to a general white name slowly turned green, did this mean that he began to identify with himself from the heart?

Sure enough, for people, the best offensive weapon belongs to money.

He turned his face to Wolflin: "Woflin, tell me about your salary request!" ”

Wufflin looked at the small pile of gold coins in front of Elive, swallowed his saliva, and said with difficulty: "Captain, can I do without gold coins?" I just want to make one request! ”

"Don't want gold? Just one request? The fat man was surprised: "I would love to hear your request, what is the reason why you are indifferent to so many gold coins, say it!" ”
