Chapter 18: Orcs and Traders
The pirate ship docked at the pier, and a one-eyed pirate with a black leather eyelid boarded the pirate ship.
The one-eyed pirate wore a turban with a skull on it, and when he opened his mouth to smile, he revealed a mouthful of yellow, blackened teeth, and a missing front tooth.
Donner took a serious look at it, and thought to himself, what a pirate this is!
Estimating that this was the little guy assigned to manage the port docks on Grant Island, Willy was not as fierce as before, he grinned and greeted him.
After the two men had said something, the commander took out a handful of silver coins from the cloth bag around his waist and handed them over, and the pirate counted them carefully one by one before satisfactorily placing them in the leather bag hanging from his waist.
The one-eyed pirate tossed Willy a flag and a wooden plaque, and disembarked from the pirate ship.
Willy put away the wooden sign, ordered one of the pirates beside him to plant the flag on the bow of the ship, and then turned to the crowd and said, "Hans, you and the Gerry brothers stay and watch the ship with the Donner brothers, and the two deputy heads of the regiment, Alan Ferdy, and I will take the rest of the brothers to the island." β
Hans understood what Willy meant, so he nodded and picked a few people, all of whom were Willy's henchmen.
"Remember, stay on the boat honestly and don't cause trouble for Lao Tzu. Willie glanced at Donner, and then led a group of pirates out of the pirate ship and headed for the interior of Gran Island.
Donner and the slaves who followed him stayed on board, and the pirates who had been left behind by Hans complained vigorously.
"Brother Hans, why am I again. β
"That's it, we stayed last time. β
"The head of the regiment is really true, every time he comes to Grand Island, he lets the group of fools under Allen go to the island first. β
Hans listened to the tiger's face and shouted: "Okay, the girls on the island won't run, tomorrow the head of the regiment will let you go to the island, then you don't drink too much, you can't climb into the bed of the girls." β
"Hehe, don't worry, this big brother Hans, a few of our brothers have come to Gran Island, which time is not that those on the island can't get out of bed. β
"Haha, yes, yes. β
Hans really couldn't do anything about these shameless pirates, shook his head, walked over to Donner and sat down.
"Brother Donner, is it your first time on the Isle of Gran?" asked Hans, picking his head.
Donner nodded flatly, apart from the iron mines and Crescent Island, Gran Island was the third place he had set foot in this world.
From the situation of this Grand Island, the order of this world is really chaotic, and there are so many pirates in such a small sea area.
"The island of Galan is a paradise for pirates, and pirates who have not been to the island are not real pirates. β
Donner smiled and didn't speak, Willy didn't know what tendon was missing, he kept guarding him, he wanted to take a look inside the island of Gran, and really understand a corner of this world, but it is estimated that there is no chance this time.
"The girdles and rum on Gran Island are the favorites of the guys, and the pirates who come here will go to Gran Island and squander the silver coins in their pockets. β
Donner glanced at Hans, so he couldn't laugh out loud, he really didn't know too much, what is an emperor-like service, I guess I can't imagine this group of dirt buns when I say it.
He didn't know what the life of the nobles was like, but as far as he saw this group of pirates, it was simply dirty, without the slightest concept of hygiene, and it was the norm not to take a bath for a month.
And living in a pirate's den, the girl is even more unimaginable, let him go to the island of Gran to play these medieval ghost-like girls, is he idle for too long?
On Crescent Island, Donner hadn't seen any alcohol, and the so-called rum in Hans's mouth, with the level of craftsmanship in this world, Donner didn't think it would be much better.
Hans patted Donner on the shoulder: "Every time we pirate groups come to Gran Island, we will take turns to go to the island, Donner, and you will go to Gran Island with us tomorrow." β
Donner nodded, but he didn't have much hope in his heart, let alone him, even these slaves around him were estimated to be impossible to be allowed on the island.
Donner chatted boredly with Hans and the people around him, waited until it was getting dark, and then hid in the cabin to rest.
It was not until near noon the next day that Willy and his two deputy captains returned with the pirates, followed by a merchant-like ghost.
The merchant was followed by several guards armed with swords and crossbows, one of whom was a monster with a green face with fangs, eyes like brass bells, and a mace in his hand, which was two and a half meters tall, and the appearance of this monster was particularly eye-catching......
Donner couldn't think of the name of this species for a while, but Gerry next to him whispered in Donner's ear: "This is an orc, I didn't expect Harry, a profiteer, to buy an orc slave as a guard." β
Orcs!
That's right, it's an orc, it's just like coming out of World of Warcraft.
Donner couldn't help but look at this orc a few more times, this was the first time he had seen such a magical race with his own eyes, if he had a camera in his hand, he thought about whether to go over and take a group photo.
The orcs on the opposite side seemed to sense Donner's curious gaze and looked this way. Donner smiled at the orc, who saw Donner's smile with a look of astonishment.
In the heart of this orc, when will humans smile at an orc, in the eyes of humans, aren't orcs all lowly species, dirty slaves?
The orc scratched the sparse hair on his head, at a loss, and Donner couldn't help but laugh when he saw the orc's naΓ―ve look.
At this time, Willy took the merchant onto the pirate ship, and when the orc stepped onto the deck, the whole ship tilted slightly.
"Donner, come here. Willie beckoned to Donner.
"Commander. Donner walked up to Willy.
Willy nodded, "This is Lord Harry, and he's an old friend of our pirate group. β
"By the way, Mr. Harry, this is our deputy head of mission, Donner, and he will deliver the goods to you this time. β
Harry, dressed in a splendid silk robe, with a ruby ring the size of a pigeon's egg, had a proud face, and his nostrils snorted at Donner and Willy, as if he had greeted them, apparently not taking the pirates in the slightest.
According to Hans, it seems that the goods looted by this pirate group were usually sold to this arrogant merchant.
Donner smiled, Willy was used to it, as if he didn't see it, he kicked the pirate sitting on the deck in the ass: "Guys, get up, bring things out." β
The cargo on board was obtained by the two merchant ships that Downer had looted since he arrived on the island of Acrescent Island.
The ship's grain and iron were left on Crescent Island, and the rest of the cargo was cargo that was not urgently needed on Crescent Island.
The most of these shipments were spices, all kinds of spices, and then a few boxes of pearls, some corals of various colors.
Donner had heard Vic say that pirates needed food, iron, and cloth first, and that the sea was rich in pearls, coral, and spices.
To the east of the islands, there are many more islands in the South China Sea, like a necklace of pearls scattered in the sea, and those islands are rich in countless spices, which have always been the favorite of the merchants and nobles of the mainland.
The price of these goods, Donner has already learned in detail about where Vic, so the next step is how to sell these goods at a high price.
