Chapter 21 Chartered Dockyard (Page 1/1)

The dockyard in Jerez is not small, although it is open-air and unroofed, but there are three locations, which can build or repair two large and one small three ships at the same time, which is not small in Double Sails City. But now the dock is empty, there are no people, and it looks very depressed.

Jerez led Crete and Caterina around in a general circle, and then waited with some apprehension for Crete's reply. The latter, however, was apparently not in a hurry, and walked to a clearing in front of the dockyard, looked at the house not far away that was supposed to be the dock worker's quarters, and said, "I also need to see your men, everyone. ”

Jerez shouted to a man behind him, "Jocano, go and call all those slackers to me, so that Mr. Crete can take a good look." ”

"Boss, at this time, some people are probably going to drink in the tavern in the next town. Are you really going to call those drunken guys back?" said the strong man named Jocano.

Jerez exclaimed, "Mr. Crete doesn't know this, but he said he wants to see everybody, and get everybody back for me." ”

"But ......"

Jerez nudged him hard: "Go, call me back, no matter what they're doing now, if they can't stand here for another half an hour, they can get out." A few of you are going to call people together. ”

Crete was not in a hurry, and while they were looking for someone, he said to Jerez: "After we rent this dock, we will carry out some modifications here, and in addition, the whole renovation operation will be kept secret." During this time, neither you nor your people will be allowed to go outside the boundaries we have demarcated, and no one outside will let them in. ”

Jerez's face changed, and he realized that he was involved in something very unusual. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Mr. Crete, although I want to make money, I don't want to get into trouble with the old brothers who follow me, many of them have families to take care of, and they just want to stay away from the dangers of the sea. I don't want to do this business. ”

A smile appeared on Crete's face: "It's late, since you've seen us, listen to me say these things." There's no room for you to retreat. ”

"What if I don't want to?" Jerez's face turned pale, and his hand was already pressed to the hilt of the scimitar at his waist.

Crete stretched out a hand, holding a cloud of dark blue energy, which was constantly circulating, giving people a very strange feeling: "You don't want to know the result, in front of a high-level mage, you'd better cooperate, and we will pay you far more than you imagined." ”

"Are you the mercenary they hired to deal with me?" Jerez asked.

"They—do you mean the other dockmasters?" said Crete, sneering, "you think too much, do you think these people can bring in someone like me?"

"Alright, Crete, don't talk about that. Listen, we're not bad people, and we're not prepared to kill you when it's done. It should be said that we are the one who represents justice. It's just that there are too many things involved in this operation, and it must be kept secret. ”

Caterina glanced at his hand and said, "Although you are a good fighter, you are still far from me, let alone his opponent." ”

"Who the hell are you?" Jerez asked.

"You'll know when it's time to know. Caterina said.

It didn't take long for Jocano and the others to run back with a group of drunken men, and Jerez knew that everyone's lives were in the hands of these two young men.

Crete counted them, and found sixty-two of them, most of them dark-skinned and rough-skinned, and they looked like they had been weathered by the wind and rain of the sea.

At this time, Crete had already taken off his cloak, revealing a handsome face, and Caterina beside him, who had grown over the years, was also very beautiful, and the outstanding faces of the two had a different temperament, which was a kind of coercion on the people present, and Crete had a magic ball of light in his hand again, which made everyone dare not act rashly.

Crete cast a detection spell and observed all the people present, and found that none of them had strange magic fluctuations or hidden strength. Among these more than 60 people, about 20 are fighters who are good at fighting, and five of them have fighting spirit, and they should all be "maritime merchants" who followed Jerez to change careers. The rest of them looked like ordinary craftsmen, presumably shipbuilders from Jerez's snares.

The ball of light in Crete's hand suddenly burst open, breaking into many threads and sinking into the heads of these people, and these people's eyes suddenly became glazed, as if they had entered a state of confusion.

"What are you doing!" Jerez roared.

"It's just a test. Don't panic, relax!" Crete raised his hand, and a larger halo of magic struck Jerez's head, and Jerez let out a low roar, staggered a few steps, and like the others, his expression became sluggish.

Seeing that all the people were in a state of flux, Crete asked, "Is there any of you who are from the Great Power Scouts?Kingdom, Empire, Temple of Nature, Temple of Ancient God, Orc, Sea Clan, Elf, or any other city-state?"

This magic is called soul interrogation, and it is a unique intelligence gathering magic of the Spirit Tower, and as long as there is an overwhelming advantage in realm and mental power, the caster can easily obtain a judgment on whether the other party is lying or not. Every time Crete reported the name of a force, it would check everyone's soul fluctuations, and after looking around, no one admitted that they were spies from some big force.

So he asked, "Then are any of you being bribed by other shipyards, their eyeliner?"

At this time, a middle-aged craftsman began to tremble, he struggled for a while, and said: "I am, I was bought by them to monitor the movements here. If anyone wants to come here to build a ship, I'm going to report the news so that my owner can get the deal at a lower price. ”

"It turned out to be you!" Jerez roared. Crete loosened his grip on Jerez slightly, allowing him to listen to what he had to say.

Crete said, "Mr. Jerez, your staff seems to have a problem. ”

Jerez gritted his teeth in anger, rushed forward and kicked the traitor down, and said hatefully: "I didn't expect that old Tony was a person who had been with me for more than ten years, and he was actually bought like this! No wonder there are a few orders that are about to be completed, but in the end they are yellow for one reason or another." It turns out that you, the inner ghost, are doing something!"

"I'll leave this person to you. Now this shipyard and all those who passed the inspection are requisitioned by us. Crete walked up to Jerez, took a money pouch from the storage ring, and placed it in his hand.

The purse made a crisp and thin sound as it landed heavily in his hand, and Jerez opened it to find that it was full of golden axes from the kingdom, forty or fifty of which still glowed seductively in the dim light.

"It's just a deposit, work well with us and you'll get more. Crete said.
