Chapter 43: The Peaks and Loops
The fat man was stunned to see a European tyrant take down ten bottles of 11 yuan Bai Niu Er with a high price of 30,000 gold coins, and then said proudly: "Do you think I'm stupid to see me shoot ten bottles with 30,000 gold coins?" ”
He smiled and said: "That's right, 30,000 gold coins is the largest amount that my lord can come up with, that is to say, I exchanged all my belongings for these ten bottles of life-saving wine, the problem is that there are only fifty bottles of this wine in the whole of Europe now, and I account for one-fifth, not to mention a bottle of 3,000 gold coins, even if it is a bottle of 10,000 gold coins, someone buys it, all I need to do is to change my hand." ”
Get! What a smart man!
When people heard this, they immediately came to their senses, yes! There are only fifty bottles of this wine in the whole of Europe, so why don't you rush to grab it?
Now the fat man has only one voice in his heart: "Get rich......"
At the auction, Bai Niu Er caused others to rob like crazy, but after all, there were only fifty bottles, so it was snatched up in a while, and after everyone dispersed, Lord William took the fat man to several boxes full of gold coins and pushed a box over to him: "This is yours, the money for shipbuilding and the money for paying taxes have been deducted, and the rest is here, fifty thousand gold coins." ”
The fat man hasn't seen so many gold coins yet, but he just fished in the gold coins a few times and lost interest, what he cares about now is where to find a treasure map, and if he can't complete the task, he won't be able to go back to this bit of a pit!
"Why are you not happy to see the gold coins?" Lord William asked with a smile.
"No, I just wanted to ask, do you know anyone else who has that kind of treasure map that was just auctioned? I want to buy one and get over the treasure hunt. The fat man shook his head, then asked.
Lord William thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any impression, it's this one, if no one takes it out for auction, who would know that he has this kind of treasure map in his house, and this kind of thing has to be stored in the treasure chest in the attic." ”
The fat man also knew that it was unlikely, but he still asked, but the result of the question was still the same, so he had to be unenergetic, reached out and put the gold coin in his backpack into a pile of numbers, and then walked out.
Now Lord William is no longer surprised that the fat man can conjure things out of thin air or change nothing out of thin air, but he is not very happy when he sees the fat man's face, so he has to persuade: "Actually, you can go to the Duke of Auston and ask, if you are not afraid of spending money." ”
"I'll try!" The fat man is not afraid of spending money, but in his mind, Duke Auston is not a master who is short of money, and it seems a little impossible to get this thing out of his hands, the problem is that he has nothing worth impressing him.
The fat man walked out of the hall of the exchange, but saw Duke Auston standing not far from the door, he couldn't be waiting for him!
Really, when Duke Auston saw the fat man coming out, he hurried to this side, and said with a smile as he walked, "Hey! Baron Xiao Lang, I've been waiting for you for a while, have you counted the gold coins in it? You've made a lot of money this time! ”
The fat man also smiled, he just wanted to ask this old man what conditions he had to hand over the treasure map in his hand, money is not a problem, with the money in his hand now, as long as the old man is willing to exchange, he is not afraid of tens of thousands, it is a big deal to return to the real world after completing the task and bring in some things that are not available here, making money is really nothing for him now.
It was only today that he learned about his strengths.
It turns out that his advantage is that he can swing between two worlds, and there is also a magical backpack space, so ......
"I don't know if Duke Auston is waiting for me here, is there anything I want to serve?" The fat man asked with a smile.
"Yes! I'm waiting for you at this time, and I'm bringing you what you care about! Alston handed over an object, and the fat man took it and saw that it was the treasure map.
The fat man pinched the picture in his hand and planned to kill it: "Okay! I'll admit I love this treasure map, but at what cost do I have to pay? ”
"I need charts to the East!" Duke Auston said with a smile.
"This ...... I'm really sorry, I don't have a chart to the east, I just know the approximately, I don't know how to get on the way, how long it will take to have a port or island that can be reclassified, you know, nautical doesn't know that these things will kill people. The fat man said helplessly: "I am willing to pay gold coins to buy this treasure map, you can make a price!" ”
"No, no, no! I'm not short of money, so I can give you this map, but at the cost of a rough map to the East, okay? Duke Auston asked with a smile.
"I can draw the coastline, and some islands, but I can't draw the ports that can be resupplied along the way......" The fat man didn't finish speaking.
When Auston heard this, he said excitedly: "That's already possible, it's already okay, it's okay to know how to go, we just need to know the direction, what we don't know, we can explore, we can't dare to touch because we don't know, then we will never grow up, won't we?" ”
"Yes! Your Excellency the Duke is right, but can we face up to the question, how much is the value of this map that will be drawn, and will the Duke use this so-called treasure map in his hand to exchange it for a chart to the East? ”
It was Lord William who spoke, and when he came out, he happened to hear the fat man and their conversation, and he was worried that this friend he had just met would suffer in front of the treacherous duke, so he interjected: "You know, compared with this so-called treasure map, the sea chart that is about to be drawn is the real treasure map to the golden land!" ”
Auston feigned annoyance and said, "Do you know it's rude to run out and bother while others are negotiating?" You know, I'm about to convince him. ”
He himself knows that as long as the fat man can draw the chart, then this chart is really a treasure map to the golden land, and its value is immeasurable, so he took the treasure map in his hand to exchange, it was a little regretful, if no one said it, it would be fine, as soon as Lord William said it, he couldn't hold it on his face.
"Alright! I also have a drawing of a Portuguese galleon there, and if you can draw a nautical chart, then I'll give you the drawing of that Portuguese galleon, plus that treasure map in your hand, how about it? Duke Auston gritted his teeth and said, "But you have to swear to Christ that what you draw is true!" ”
"Alright! I swear to Christ that I will draw you a real map of the coastline, but only in my impression, is that okay? "The fat man was not calm when he heard the drawings of the Portuguese galleon, and so was Lord William, who had forgotten to close his open mouth until now!
I heard of the Portuguese galleon, although I haven't heard of it, but since it is said to be a galleon, it must be more bullish than the three-masted merchant ship!
He immediately nodded.
Two days later, the fat man drew the world map to India according to the browser game he used to play, as for China, why draw it for you? Can you believe if you have sworn to Christ? The fat man did not believe in Christ.
Then the Duke of Auston went away happily, and then Lord William and the fat man looked at the drawings of the Portuguese galleon in the house, and the drawings were there, but there was no money to make them, and they just took them to the shipyard to see that they actually asked for 100,000 gold coins, which scared the fat man! Without saying a word, he walked back.
Let's go dig up the treasure first! If you don't dig up, you can't go home! Pit daddy!
Returning to his ship, the fat man inspected his new ship with satisfaction, this is a Hulk three-masted merchant ship that can carry three hundred tons, which is much larger than the two-masted Kog clipper that he grabbed from the pirates, and the two-masted Kog ship can only carry one hundred and fifty tons, and the fat man with two ships can be regarded as having a small fleet.
In two days, he would go out to sea with his small fleet to dig for treasure, but only if he had a full crew and another captain.
I now have two ships, and this three-masted merchant ship will be my flagship in the future, and of course Arthur will go to that brig to be the captain, and here he is! You have to find yourself a first mate, because there are still a lot of small and small chores on the ship, and you don't want to be busy all day long, just look for yourself when making decisions.
So now the destination is, the tavern!
Even in the morning, there were piles of men with vegetables on their faces squatting at the entrance of the tavern, and most of the current European civilians were in a situation where they did not have enough food and clothing, so now when they saw a noble lord walking here, they knew that he was here to find someone to get on the ship, so they squeezed over one by one.
"Noble lord, recruit me! You can tell by looking at my arms that I'm a good worker! ”
"Noble lord, recruit me! I've been on a boat, I've been out to sea, I'm familiar with it! ”
"Noble ......"
Arthur looked at the fat man and said, "Your Excellency, let's go find the two first mates first!" ”
Need to find two first mates, originally the fat man was going to recruit only one first mate, and the other used the giant Ethan to be the one, who knew that the giant Ethan actually couldn't look at the charts, how did he raise the navigation level?
There was no way, Ethan had to be his boatswain again, and the fat man would have to recruit another experienced one.
Entering the tavern, although it was morning, there were already quite a few people coming to the tavern, usually asking for a glass of wine and then sitting there still, but fortunately the tavern was big enough to seat so many people.
Because the tavern is also used to here, accustomed to the captains coming here to wait for someone to recruit the captain, used to others coming here to recruit the captain, everything is conventional, fortunately, these captains will order a glass of wine when they come here, no matter how much is the entry is not.
There were a lot of captains who came to work today, and the tavern guy muttered while wiping the table: "Which big man is coming to recruit people today?" Why did all these captains gather here like bees that have seen nectar? ”
Unbeknownst to him, the captains knew that the Fat Man needed to recruit a captain when they saw the Fat Man's ship move from the shipyard to the dock in the morning, so they came to the tavern in a swarmed manner and waited.
