The Colonel was a little dumbfounded, his gaze swept over the pirates on the deck disguised as guards and servants, and finally his gaze fell on Andy and Andler behind Herman, he frowned, his eyes flashing with surprise.

"I don't know why this lord stopped us, if it's a pirate search, I think...... You can leave. ”

Herman twisted his fingers and squinted his eyes, his tone respectful but slightly dissatisfied.

"No, I have something, in fact, I need your help. ”

The admiral hurriedly said that the St. Mary's Chamber of Commerce has a lot of influence in the Roman Empire, and he is not good at being aggressive.

In fact, the Colonel's rhythm was interrupted when Herman showed his status badge belonging to the St. Mary's Chamber of Commerce.

He originally wanted to use his identity to persecute Herman so that he could get the alchemical potion he wanted.

However, the identity of the Herman St. Mary's Chamber of Commerce made it impossible for him to do so, and the St. Mary's Chamber of Commerce was not a subsidiary of the Roma Empire, even if he was a navy, he did not have the ability and did not dare to do so.

"I don't know what a merchant like me, who has lost his merchant ship to a pirate attack and is able to keep his cargo, can help a naval officer...... If you need gold...... I don't think St. Mary's is a lamb to be slaughtered. ”

Herman replied coldly, in his opinion, perhaps the naval officer needed a large amount of gold to repair his sailboat, and although he could have returned to the naval harbor and let the navy's reserve repair it, if the sailboat was too badly damaged, it would affect his merits.

And if he can contribute a lot of gold......

"I have no interest in your gold coins. The Colonel chuckled, and he glanced at Herman with some contempt, for only a greedy merchant would think that everyone coveted his gold coins.

"As you may be aware, my ship has just been subjected to a terrible battle, and my soldiers are badly wounded, but unfortunately we are running out of medicines...... So ......"

Herman suddenly realized, and he groaned and looked at Andler.

"What about the box we have for herbs and potions?"

Andler was stunned for a moment, and replied in a low voice, "In that battle a few days ago, that wooden box was hit by a pirate's cannonball, and all the medicinal herbs and potions inside were destroyed. ”

Herman's eyes flashed with imperceptible appreciation, and he turned to look at the admiral with a heavy face, shrugging his shoulders with a slight teasing.

"Dear Navy, did you hear me? I'm sorry, it seems that I can't help you. ”

The Colonel's breathing was a little shorter, he rolled his eyes, glanced at Andrew, and said with some unwillingness:

"Do you have any potions to carry with you? It's better to be an alchemy potion, I know the merchant's guidelines, I can give you gold coins!"

"Don't you ......?"

Herman was about to refuse, but suddenly he felt a burning sensation in his palms, and he closed his mouth and stared at the Captain with a gloomy face. , as if something suddenly came to mind.

"Well, let me think about it, if the gold is ready, I think maybe we can talk. ”

Herman turned around and looked at Andy with some confusion in his eyes, but he immediately kicked Andler, pulling Andy by the clothes and pulling him aside.

"Come with me!"

A cold flash flashed in the Colonel's eyes, his cheek muscles bulged out, and he looked like he was almost crushing his teeth, and he turned and walked back to his sailboat.

The St. Mary's Chamber of Commerce behind Herman prevented him from forcibly snatching anything from him, and wanted to satisfy a greedy vampire-like merchant......

He had to pay a lot of gold, especially in a situation like the one he was asking for.

The Admiral was ready to be slaughtered.

"Adult ......"

Seeing the Colonel return, Herman lowered his voice and looked at Andy with some confusion.

"Andler, do you still have a Crimson Potion there?"

Andy ignored Herman, his eyes flashing with a strange light, and he looked at the sailing ship of the Navy with a little speculation.

"Yes, there are still a few bottles of low-level Crimson Elixirs. ”

Although Andler didn't know what Andy was thinking, he still answered truthfully.

"Take out two bottles in a moment, Herman, sell them to that fellow, and play your true colors as a businessman. ”

Herman laughed, his eyes filled with eager greed, instinct in his blood.

"But captain, why ......?"

Andre asked softly, he knew Andy's intention was not to get into trouble, but why did he suddenly change his mind?

"There was a very important person on that ship who was wounded, and when Herman rejected the naval officer just now, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, although it was very deep, but it could not hide it from me. ”

A deep darkness flashed in Andy's eyes, and he smiled with interest.

"I'd love to know what kind of person would make a naval officer go out of his way to turn his back on his honor and kill a merchant from the St. Mary's Chamber of Commerce for the sake of a possible potion......"

"Herman, try to hold him down first for a while, give me the scarlet potion at a high price, I will let the Arowana quietly leak that naval ship, and let them board the ship when the time comes, as long as they get on the ship, I will be sure to control them all!"

Andy sneered and walked to the captain's room, while Andler walked to the cabin in a pretended manner, and after a while walked up with two bottles of scarlet potion.

"Looks like you're in luck, Lord Navy, I still have two vials of Crimson Potion here. ”

Herman came to the railing and shouted to the admiral opposite.

A smile appeared on the Colonel's face, and he resisted the excitement in his heart and looked at Herman.

"Tell me about your price. ”

"Fifty gold coins per bottle, honorable Lord Navy. ”

Herman didn't have any jokes, he wasn't embarrassed, he was even very serious, and kept twisting his wrench.

"Fifty gold coins?ha~ I'm ready, but are you kidding me? I, Antonio, am a naval colonel in the Holy Roma Empire!"

Antonio sneered, he even had the idea of ordering his men to sink the ship.

"Colonel Antonio...... the corners of Herman's mouth curled into a smile, he did not hide the greed in his eyes at all, "In the world of merchants, everything is valuable, and the value of these two bottles of scarlet potion, at this moment, can no longer be measured by their own value. ”

"That's two lives! For a glorious navy, the lives of a companion should be priceless, right?"

Antonio's forehead bulged as he clenched his fists and squeezed a smile out of his face.

"But in the alchemist's shop, it's only worth one gold coin! I admit I need him very much right now, but I'll only give you five gold coins per bottle of potion, and if you agree, you'll win the friendship of the Roma Imperial Navy." ”

Antonio said in a deep voice, he really didn't want to waste time with Herman here, Valina was running out of time for that woman.

"Lord Antonio, you need to understand that the St. Mary's Chamber of Commerce has won the friendship of the Roma Empire, and the ...... that connects this friendship That's hundreds of thousands of gold coins that are donated to you every year!"

Herman sneered, he took the two bottles of potions from Andler's hands, and shook them slightly, the scarlet potion inside glowing in the sunlight.

"A hundred gold coins, or take this damn plank off my ship!" Herman said arrogantly, narrowing his eyes, "I don't have any time to spend here with you, there are still a lot of gold coins waiting for me elsewhere!"

Anthony gritted his teeth and took a deep breath.

"Your greed is more disgusting than that of the pirates of the seas, and one day, you will regret your greed. ”

"Then don't bother, sir. ”

Herman sneered, the St. Mary's Chamber of Commerce has countless powerful armed merchant ships, and its power is spread across various empires in the world, and behind the St. Mary's Chamber of Commerce is the West Spot Empire.

It is the Western Spotted Empire with an invincible arma that terrifies all empires on the seas.

So, Herman is not afraid of threats from anyone, except Andy...... The man who took his life into his hands.

I have to say that Herman's performance is in place, and when facing Antonio, his strength makes the other party a little confused, but this is very much in line with Herman's status as a big businessman in the St. Mary's Chamber of Commerce.

Andler recalled the picture of Herman kneeling on the deck and kissing Andy's boots when he was captured, his expression was a little strange, is this the merchant?

In the face of pirates who can threaten his life, he is as timid as a mouse, and humble as an ant.

And in the face of a navy......

Herman's pride and greed are indeed annoying, but they are ironic and realistic.

grovel to the enemy, but dictate to those who protect themselves.

Of course, in fact, Herman is this kind of person, since Andy asked him to play the role of a big businessman, so in order to keep his soul from being cursed by Andy, the evil wizard, he has been trying to make himself better.

Herman himself was not a great businessman, but he had seen a lot of merchants with great wealth, even the nobles of the empire and even the royal family, who maintained respect for them.

What's more, many merchants are big aristocrats themselves.

So, he didn't need to be polite to a naval colonel at all.

Antonio snorted coldly and turned to leave, apparently to get the gold coins, and by this time, Andy had already walked back.

"Everything is done~"

Andy smiled with satisfaction, and he vaguely felt that there was something amazing waiting for him on that navy ship.

Soon, a gloomy Antonio asked his men to send a box of gold coins.

With greed in Herman's eyes, he asked Andler to open the chest, which was full of gold coins that caught the attention of most of the pirates on deck.

"Give me the potion now, you greedy vampire!"

Antonio walked over and said in a cold voice, he didn't have any good feelings for Herman now, and even restrained himself, resisting the urge to jump on the other party and beat him hard.

"A pleasant deal, and I'm looking forward to working with you next time, Mistress Antonio. ”

Herman squinted and laughed, and handed the two vials of Scarlet Potion to Antonio's hand, before turning and shouting, "You lazy bugs, pull the anchor up for me, hoist the sails, we're going to the harbor soon, the gold is already calling me!"

The pirates took their eyes away from the crate of gold coins, and they skillfully moved to prepare to continue sailing.

And this time......

On the ship, a navy officer suddenly rushed up from the cabin, and he glanced over the deck to see Antonio who had just walked by.

"Colonel, the bottom cabin is leaking!"

"What?!" Antonio was stunned, grabbed the navyman and shouted in a daze, "what the hell is going on?"

"It's the captives! The pirate captives! I don't know what they used to blow the bilge open!"

Navy said with a sad face, took a deep breath, and trembled.

He ...... They want to die with us!"

"Damn pirates!"

Antonio clenched his fists, he looked at the captain's room, and said calmly.

"All the navy, bring your weapons and supplies, and give them to me on that merchant ship, first mate! Bring Varina, those damned pirates, and let them be food for the fish!"

Antonio turned around and looked at Herman calmly, without the fear he had before, but a little tough, and said coldly.

"I'm sorry, sir, as you can see, because of these irresistible factors, our navy soldiers are going to be on the same ship with you!"

Herman squinted, he hadn't said anything, the navy had already come up in groups through the planks, carrying weapons and supplies, there were about sixty people, but basically all of them were wounded.

"It seems that I have no chance to refuse......" Herman snorted coldly, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Lord Antonio, my merchant ship can also be used as a transport ship, but every soldier ...... A gold coin. ”

"You don't go too far, and greed must have a bottom line. ”

Antonio's face turned even colder, and as soon as his words fell, the navy behind him pulled out their muskets.

And the pirates had been nervous since the navy boarded the ship, and at this moment they also drew their muskets and shouted.

"What are you going to do?"

"Hah! Damn the Navy!"

"Relax, guys!"

Herman waved his hand, and the pirates on the deck closed their mouths, and they looked at Herman, or rather, at the man behind him.

"Ha~ Lord Antonio, this ship is the property of the St. Mary's Chamber of Commerce. ”

Antonio pursed his lips and smiled, and walked into the navy, and after a while, another box of gold coins was delivered.

"Gave us a ride to the port of Hamok. ”

"I'm sorry, Lord Antonio, our target is Port Modris, where my cargo will turn into a lot of gold, and I don't have a duty to send you to that damn port, but there are so many navies in Port Modris, you can go to them for help. ”

"Andre, go sail, I can't wait. ”

Andler nodded, and with the pirates ready to go, the Twilight was back in action.

And the navy ship was slowly sinking.
