Chapter 11 First Cooperation
After a short exchange of false affection, the two reached a tacit understanding, no longer endlessly arguing with each other, and began to trade in the real sense. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"I'm interested in all three of the weapons you just introduced...... I want 1,000 rapid-fire guns, 10 long-barreled guns, and 50 short-barreled guns...... That's 957,300,000 soles, isn't it?" Liuke straightened his attitude, not only quoted the purchase order, but also gave him an accurate number.
"Yes. Yalei nodded.
"When will it be delivered?"
"I can give you a hundred rapid-fire guns, three long-barreled guns, and five short-barreled scatterer guns now, and the rest will be traded in twenty days, with one hand to pay and the other to deliver. β
"I'm going to have this shipment. β
Liu Ke subconsciously clenched his hands behind him, maintained a calm gaze, and said with a smile: "We don't have enough cash in our hands, so we exchange it for the equivalent amount of gold, no problem, right?"
"There's no problem with that. β
Seeing that he was gradually showing sincerity, the black-haired knight asked straightforwardly, "When is the transaction and where is the location?"
"Of course not here. β
Lyucco turned around and walked behind the desk, took out a scroll from the drawer, walked over to Yalei and gently spread it out:
"The red dot on the map is an abandoned port, which can be seen about three hundred nautical miles south from Flash City, and tomorrow at six o'clock in the afternoon, the twin snake-swallowing rainbow flags of the tower king Tingsiyu will be raised, and the goods will be paid on delivery. β
"No problem. β
The black-haired knight took the map, looked at it, closed it, and said unceremoniously: "It doesn't matter this time, if you want to cooperate in the future, you have to pay a full deposit." β
"It's the most basic rule. Ryuko smiled lightly.
"See you tomorrow. β
With a wave of his hand, Aree retrieved Arondale and the three samples, turned and walked to the door, and after taking a half-step, his figure froze for a second, then blurred, quickly dissipating into the bright moonlight.
Back in the lobby on the ground floor, the five of them stared at the middle of the curtain and whispered, seemingly in a heated discussion.
"What's going on?"
The black-haired knight walked up to the crowd and followed their line of sight to the middle of the curtain, and when he saw the tree elf girl playing the harp on the curved chair, his expression was stunned:
"This tree elf is familiar. β
"Yes, yes!"
Kara nodded vigorously and quickly added, "We suspect that she is Aisha's daughter, the little tree elf named Marta, because she looks too similar." β
"But she now looks like the personal belongings of some big man, and you can see her ankles, which are bound by an imperceptible silver chain. There was a faint fluctuation of mana on it, so I suspect that she was coerced into playing the piano here. Lydia explained with a slight raised eyebrow, and when it came to personal belongings, her pretty face was full of disgust.
β......β
Arei took a closer look at the side of the Tree Elf Girl's face and found that apart from the difference in hair color, the other party was really too similar to Aisha. The face is equally delicate and beautiful, the body is slender and well-proportioned, the complexion is white and smooth, and it looks like a delicate doll wrapped in a tender green elegant dress.
"Looks like I'm going to have to go find Liuko Cesa. β
The black-haired knight sighed softly, and his figure turned into a stream of light that was difficult to see with the naked eye, and ran silently into the stairs.
At this time, Liu Ke had just closed the door and was about to sit down, only to feel a cool breeze behind him, the door panel clicked open, and the voice that had just disappeared came into his ears again:
"I hope you don't mind me taking the liberty of bothering again, for I have encountered a strange thing in the ballroom and have to ask you the truth. β
"Of course, my friend. β
Liu Ke slowly let out a cool breath, patted his chest with palpitations, spread his hands and sighed: "I just hope that when you visit again, remember to knock on the door." β
"What's going on with that tree elf performing right now?"
"Oh, you mean the little tree elf, she says her name is Alice, and she came to Glitter a few months ago in rags, and has been singing on the streets. You know, this is Flash City, and there are a lot of bad guys and scum who move around every day, and I was worried that she would be tricked by other bad guys, so I took her in. β
Liuko smiled and explained the origin of the tree elf, and then looked at him in surprise: "Could it be...... Alice is your runaway pet, Lord Marquis, right?"
"No, she's a friend of mine's pet, her real name is Marta, and I promised to find this tree elf for him, Mr. Liuko, can you sell her to me at a price?"
"Of course, for our previous friendship. β
Liuke agreed, and then stretched out five fingers with a smile:
"Five million, she's yours. β
"Mr. Liuko, you are really a shrewd businessman. β
Yalei took a deep look at the other party, remembering this guy's shameless face in his heart, his eyebrows flashed, and two weapons appeared in his hands:
"A long-barreled cannon, a short-barreled cannon, the total value is definitely more than five million, it should be enough, right?"
"Enough is enough. β
Liu Ke took the two weapons with a spring on his face, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow at six o'clock in the afternoon, as long as you appear at the designated place with a weapon, this cute little girl will be yours." β
"Good. β
The black-haired knight's voice lingered in the space, and his figure had disappeared again, and as a confidence in his own strength and prestige, he was not at all worried about the deception of a mere rebel informant.
And in order to try not to attract attention and reduce unnecessary trouble, Yalei must also give Liuke enough time to prepare, otherwise it will be contrary to his original intention of keeping a low profile.
......
On the surface of the Caribbean Sea, the autumn breeze mixed with the characteristic smell of the sea water blows on the washed deck. The crew was shouting trumpets, tugging at fishing nets and dragging stacks of sealed crates of weapons out of the water and onto the deck.
After they had put the weapons back in place, Bruno counted them and how well they were preserved, and after making sure they had not been submerged in the sea, he re-covered them with canvas.
"Yare, no problem. β
The silver-haired boy snapped his fingers and walked briskly to Yalei's side.
"That's good, it's a good start. β
The black-haired knight looked back in the direction of the Shining City, where the colorful light of the city hung upside down on the sea, bringing a bit of jeweled charm to this quiet sea.
"As long as this transaction is successful, we will be able to make a profit of close to 500 million, can you imagine? In less than a month, nearly 500 million in revenue. And this is just the beginning, the rebellion of the Tawang Tinsiyu Empire will not end for decades, with our support, their strength will become stronger, and in turn, the demand for arms will become higher and higher......"
Yalei stared at the roofs connected to the back of the port, and did not hide the excitement in his heart, and at the end of the day, he suddenly frowned, and knocked on the door of his head with some headaches:
"But safe shipping channels, as well as reliable agents, have not yet found ......"
"yes, we can't deliver the goods every time...... That would be too costly......"
Bruno echoed and gently bowed his head, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he slapped the guardrail with both hands:
"Perhaps, we can enlist the cooperation of the Sea Demon Babur, isn't that guy more than 60,000 descendants, only a few are willing to help, won't our transportation line be stabilized?"
"What a genius solution!"
The black-haired knight hugged his friend hard and spun around the deck a few times, knowing that the other party was out of breath before letting him go.
As soon as the silver-haired boy hit the ground, he hurriedly picked it up, combed his scattered hair with both hands, and kicked him helplessly: "Don't be so happy first, do you have a way to contact it?"
Yalei smiled back, and Zhizhu said:
"No, but as long as the bounty is publicly offered by some means, I think Babur will definitely take the initiative. You know, it's not the kind of monster that doesn't want to deal with humans and maintain a secluded life, this guy is shrewd. β
"And what about the agents of the New World?" Bruno poured another scoop of cold water, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Don't worry, we still have to get acquainted with the situation in the New World. β
The black-haired knight waved his hand indifferently, raised his head, and looked at the vast land at the end of the sea: "Believe me, there are many people who want to profit from the arms smuggling business, and we have time to find it slowly." β
......
As the sky gradually brightened, and Yalei and the others fell asleep in turn, they took turns patrolling the sea one by one in order to prevent the Federation's maritime executors from suddenly appearing.
When the black-haired knight opened his eyes again, he saw the figure of Lydia, who walked into the cabin with a steaming tub, and then gestured to him to wipe his face, then put the tub down and withdrew.
"Thank you. β
Yalei sat up and thanked the female knight's back, and looked at the light shining through the canvas, but it was a slightly reddish sun, and it was probably afternoon.
He washed his face with hot water and walked to the deck, where he found the outline of an abandoned dock in front of him, and some strangely shaped earthen huts stretched far into the sky like anthills, but there was no trace of lifeβthis was the first city to be destroyed by the Federation.
The black-haired knight took out his pocket watch and checked the time, then shouted to someone who was hiding on the lookout drinking juice:
"Prepare to land, Kara, get up to speed. β
"Accelerate!"
Kara took a sip of juice and casually pushed out a column of wind, blowing the sails into the bag, and the speed of the ship increased several times at once.
The speeding Ruby broke through the wind and waves, carved a ravine in the blue sea, and gradually approached the abandoned dock ahead. Soon, they could see a double snake swallowing rainbow flag shining in the setting sun on the highest lighthouse of the pier.
On the shore, hundreds of aborigines wearing red and brown cloaks are waiting, led by Lyucco Sisa. The crowd was visibly agitated at the sight of the approaching Ruby, but after a few scoldings in the indigenous language, the commotion gradually subsided.
β......β
Yalei saw this scene in his eyes, narrowed his eyes, and vaguely understood something.
Once the ruby was docked, the sailors unloaded the crates of weapons off the deck, arranged them neatly on the beach, and then returned to the ship. The black-haired knight and the others stood in front of the weapons and waved at them, and the gang couldn't wait to lean over.
"General Liuko, please inspect the goods. Yalei summoned his true identity and motioned for the other party to check at will.
"Leading a rebel army is not an easy task, and it is a necessity to forge an identity, you can understand. β
The black-haired knight revealed his identity, and Ryuko didn't see embarrassment on his face, but just defended himself lightly, and strode over to the weapon box, counting and inspecting the weapons with his subordinates.
The speed of the inspection of hundreds of people together was very fast, and these people also understood the rules, and after inspecting the goods, they pushed them to their original positions and sent several trolleys full of gold to Yalei and the others.
"Here is gold worth more than 100 million soles. β
Liuke stretched out his hand and pointed to a few carts, then took a black leather case from his subordinates, opened the card lock, and displayed a stack of banknotes in front of everyone:
"Here's 10.4 million in cash. β
"Check it out. β
The black-haired knight raised his right hand and hooked his index finger, and everyone immediately stepped forward with high-strength spring scales, covering the gold with fishing nets, checking the weight and gold quality one by one, and the movements were dazzling.
It took them about a minute before they retreated to Are's side and nodded at the same timeβthe movements were indescribably clean and pleasing to the eye.
The efficiency and aura are extremely amazing, at least to frighten the rebels in front of them.
This is an action that everyone has discussed together and rehearsed several times before, in order to prove that their business level is high enough. Let the other party feel that all kinds of high-minded, so as to be more assured to trade arms.
"There is indeed no shortage of heroes under the command of the Marquis. β
Liuke was obviously frightened, the smile on his face softened, and he took the initiative to hand the suitcase to Yalei: "Then the first business is considered to be closed, and after twenty days, I hope to see the second batch of arms." β
β......β
The black-haired knight took the suitcase and handed it to Goethe to count, smiling without saying a word, with an expression of not seeing a rabbit or an eagle.
"Hahaha, I almost forgot, I still have a deposit!"
Liuke patted his head as if he had suddenly realized, took out a ruby the size of a goose egg from his cloak, and spread it in the palm of his hand: "Of course I would like to believe in the character of His Excellency the Marquis, this 'Fire Dragon Eye' can be regarded as a testimony to our friendship and transaction. β
"General Liuke is really happy, twenty days later, the second batch of munitions will definitely arrive on time!"
Yalei took the ruby with a smile, checked the color in the sunlight, and after seeing the six lines reflected inside the crystal, he put it into his pocket with peace of mind.
"It was a pleasure to work with. β
"It was a pleasure to work with. β
The two hands clasped together, and the black-haired knight and Ryuko looked at each other and smiled, as if they were brothers they hadn't seen for years.
"That's right, Miss Alice. β
And it was at this time that the sea suddenly remembered the sharp whistle, which contained warning meaning and made the nearby ground tremble, and the sand and rocks were towering, and it could be heard clearly for dozens of miles far away, even in mid-air.
Yalei and the warlord's faces changed dramatically at the same time, and they quickly raised their heads to see a sailing ship with three large sails entering the harbor. (To be continued.) )
