Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Response from the Nords

The auction was temporarily suspended, and the Nord warriors rushed out of the warehouse in a rage, charging towards the port. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Without any prior warning, the merchant ship guards of the Double-Headed Eagle Chamber of Commerce were immediately stunned by this sudden attack. Before they could react, they were broken through the defenses and then all crushed.

Soon, a large number of Nibru spiders were rescued from the cabin by the Nord warriors. At the same time, incidentally, the Nords destroyed everything on merchant ships. They took everything of value, and lit the sails and masts, causing more than twenty huge merchant ships to sink under the harbor in the raging flames.

The warehouses and the port are close by, so it's a good place to see what the Nords are doing. And this kind of behavior, which was no different from that of a robber, immediately made the big businessman in front of Yan in front of him, who represented the Double-Headed Eagle Chamber of Commerce, tremble. He trembled his fingers and pointed at Hikoshi in front of him, making an unusually distinct cracking sound like a scream.

"You are a provocation, you are a provocation to the Grand Duke of Brittdam. I will report this to the Grand Duke. You damned robbers, you're not going to end well. ā€

"Sir, when you say this, did you ever think that you are now in a robber's den?"

With a sneer and a retort, Hiko immediately glanced at one of the Nord warriors beside him. And the Nord warrior immediately walked up with his fists clenched.

"Do you need me to break him up into pieces and throw them out?"

As soon as he spoke, the thick voice of the Nord made the merchants of this kingdom pale with fright. He looked at the big man in front of him, and his body trembled even more. But this time he was not angry, but frightened. When his mind finally turned a corner, he suddenly remembered the consistent character of the Nords, and he dared to say such a thing in front of such a group of murderous guys, which made him slap himself desperately in his heart just thinking about it.

"Don't go too far, Uncle Su. Smiling and patting the big businessman on the shoulder, Hiko gave orders to the familiar Nord man beside him. "Just get him out. If he doesn't want to, it's not too late for you to use your methods!"

"Hey, no problem. Please, sir. ā€

With a fierce expression on his face, this Nord warrior called Sue is exactly the one who wants you not to cooperate. And looking at his expression, the Kingdom Merchant, who felt that he was a smart person, immediately snorted, but still walked outside honestly.

He confessed! Or on the territory of the Nords, he really didn't have the courage to be arrogant. He knew very well that even the Grand Duke of Brittdam behind him, and even the army of the kingdom were unwilling to provoke these crazy Nords easily. Even if the losses were so heavy this time.

The Nords have been on the roam for 10,000 years, and their strength and bravery are enough to make people feel awe. Before, he had swelled up because of the strength of the kingdom, but now he figured it out. No matter how powerful the kingdom is, it will have no effect on these Nords. They don't care about any of this, and they don't care about the dignity of the kingdom, as can be seen from the behavior of all the Nords here.

Come with a high toe and walk with a disgraced face. I have to say that such a performance is too embarrassing and unbearable. But most of the people in the room were happy to see that. Because of the strength of the kingdom, the forces behind them are not less bullied by these people. Now I see that the guys who have always liked to bully others are bullied by others to their own heads. This is naturally something that everyone likes to see.

And Hiko, after watching the hapless businessman leave here, immediately said aloud to the others in the audience.

"Gentlemen, and ladies. It's a shame that there was such a surprising hiccup in our auction. But it just so happens that we also take this opportunity to show the attitude of our Nords. We are willing to be friends with anyone who respects us and respects our traditions. But correspondingly, if someone dares to provoke us, or even break our traditions, offend our majesty. Then we will not hesitate to teach him by any means of violence what attitude we Nords should have. ā€

"Everything here today is an example of this. It's the first time this has happened, and the Double-Headed Eagle Chamber of Commerce has provided us with a lot of benefits. We were very restrained in not letting our weapons get bloody. But next time, if anyone still dares to do such a thing. Then we promise, will let his blood spill every inch of ground under his feet. This is a warning, and I hope you will convey it to those behind you on my behalf, so that the whole world will know our determination. ā€

Hiko's words were sharp and resolute. As he said this, the Nord warriors around him cooperated with him, revealing a hideous and bloodthirsty expression. This reminds many people of the Nord pirates who raged on the sea, the fall of the Imperial Expeditionary Force in the past, and the glorious history created by the Nords in the past.

In the face of these proud achievements, many people secretly admonished themselves in their hearts. Seeing the reaction of most people at the moment, Hiko nodded with satisfaction and continued.

"Alright, let's put the unpleasant things behind for a while. Now let's move on to the auction just now. Because all the assets of Mr. Unlucky of the Kingdom of Velen have been confiscated by us, now the second highest offer is now used as the standard. 600,000 gold coins, 50 battle horned eagles. Is there anyone else who wants to surpass them in the high elves' offer? Okay, deal!"

Clapped his hands, and Hiko directly announced who would be the last auction item. And looking at the huge golden oak tree in front of him, the high elf merchant's face showed a strange expression that was neither crying nor laughing.

He had thought that he would re-bid the price, in which case he might be able to take the Golden Oak for a lower price. After all, the guy who has been driving up the price just now has been driven away, so in any case, the price should be more rational.

But he never imagined that Hiko directly skipped the stage of shouting, and instead used his previous high price as a benchmark.

It was a bit more than he expected, but it wasn't too hard to accept. After all, Hiko's difficulty is something that everyone here knows. It's not too shameful to lose at his hands.

In short, the Nords' ice-breaking deal is completely over. But Hiko's work is not over. On the one hand, he has to arrange the outflow and import of those conventional goods, and by the way, he has to check the data to provide everyone who pays the Nord people with the return they deserve. On the other hand, he needs to deal with the proceeds of the auction.

The proceeds from the auction are enormous, but not all of them are returned to the original owners of the goods. Let's say, Uncle Gu's Golden Oak. Although this treasure was sold for a sky-high price of 600,000 gold coins, these gold coins were not given to him.

On the one hand, it was because Uncle Gu didn't need these gold coins, and even if he gave them to him, he had no place to spend them. On the other hand, there are more important places to use these gold coins.

Of course, this does not mean that Uncle Gu should suffer this serious loss. It's just that they need to compensate him in another way. For example, now, Yan took Uncle Gu to a secret pier near Whale Hunting Bay in the past, pointed to a dragon whale ship by the pier that had just raised its keel, and said this to him.

"Uncle Gu, if you agree, then after this dragon whale ship is built, it will be yours. That is, you can choose to lease it to the Nord fleet, and I think the guys at sea will be happy to take over this new ship, so that whenever they get something, you can get a commission of three to fifty percent from it. Of course, you can also choose to be the captain yourself, then I can also provide you with a sum of supplies and gold coins in the name of the Nord fleet, so that you can choose your own sailors. ā€

"But I need to warn you that going to sea is risky, and you need to be cautious in your decision. Of course, the final decision is up to you, how about it, Uncle Gu, what is your decision?"

Facing Hiko's problem. Gu inevitably hesitated a little. To be sure, he did like the dragon whale ship.

Using the skeleton of a dragon whale as the keel, this large ship built little by little is nearly 50 meters long, of which the deck length is 42 meters, the width of the ship is 12 meters, and the draft is about 6 to 7 meters. There is a 40-meter-long main mast and two 30-meter-long auxiliary masts, and the sail area is about 3,600 square meters.

At the same time, the three-tiered deck can accommodate almost six hundred people working on the ship, while carrying more than one and a half thousand tons of cargo. The windows on the middle deck are equipped with more than 80 oars, keeping the ship powered at all times.

It can be said that in terms of the Nord shipbuilding industry, this is definitely the best ship in the hands of the Nords, and of course it may be one of the most expensive ships.

Since the construction of this ship last year, no less than 300,000 gold coins have been invested in this big ship, and when this big ship is completed, it is conservatively estimated that it will be about 500,000 gold coins. But it's worth the money, the performance of this boat is definitely the most advanced in the world. Even compared to the top warships of the Kingdom and the Empire, this dragon whale ship would not be much worse.

Once the ship was launched and staffed with top-notch sailors, it could immediately become the main ship of the Nord Maritime Fleet, a feared presence on the seas. Anyone with a discerning eye can see this. So after a little hesitation, Uncle Gu immediately made up his mind and said to Yan.

"I thought about it, I really want to try the feeling of the sea!"
