Chapter 116: Temporary Status (3rd Update)
What the round-faced middle-aged man and the receptionist didn't know was that their conversations were all heard word by word by Lei Fa in the reception room, such a close distance, even if Lei Fa didn't want to hear it, his hell ear was as powerful as instinct. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"I don't know what's going on in Alabastan now, listen to the Warring States Father, after the death of my eldest uncle, King Edmund, his only son Kobra inherited the throne, and it shouldn't be ...... before the kingdom is fully integrated," Refa thought secretly.
He wasn't too impressed with Kobra as a person.
Because in the comics, this person's presence is not very strong, but his daughter Weiwei, who is very popular, and is one of the partners recognized by the future 'protagonists'.
However, no matter what, this newly succeeded Kobra is his cousin, and his father died because he saved him, so it can be said that he has to accept this favor.
What made Lefa happy was that the round-faced middle-aged man was still very efficient, and in less than half an hour, he had already returned with a smile on his face.
Looking at his appearance, Leifa could also guess that most of the things were done.
The round-faced middle-aged words once again verified Lei Fa's guess, "My lord, I have helped you find a cargo ship that is about to go to [Shengting Island], and this cargo ship will depart for [Shengting Island] tomorrow to do business, which belongs to the private property of a merchant...... In addition, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by revealing your identity, I have arranged a temporary identity for you on my own initiative. ”
"Huh?" Lefa waited.
"You will board the ship as a conscripted escort, and I have already vouched for you here, and there will be no problems, but then you may be a little aggrieved along the way...... If you don't mind, I can also put pressure on them directly through the guild's side, but that would easily attract some extra attention, and I wonder if it will affect you. The round-faced middle-aged man asked respectfully.
"Don't be so troublesome, you're doing a good job, I'll just get on board as a conscripted escort. Lefa thought for a moment and waved his hand.
"Okay, then I'll have someone take you over there to wait, tomorrow morning, you can just get on the boat and report, I wish you a smooth journey-"
"Well, thank you. Lefa nodded.
The next day, according to the arrangement of the round-faced middle-aged, Lei Fa stepped on the cargo ship.
After being brought into the cabin by the ship's servants, Lefa met the owner of the ship, a wealthy old man who looked to be about fifty or sixty years old, with a kind face.
After a brief exchange, he learned that the old man's name was Glinton, and he was the owner of a merchant group, and the cargo ship was his main tool for business.
Because the ecology of each island in the Great Shipping Route is very different, there are many things that have very different values on different islands, and this is the meaning of business.
They buy items of modest value from this island and sell them on another island where they are in short supply, making a lot of money on the difference.
But this kind of business also faces many problems, the biggest problem is that there is a possibility of encountering pirates in the process of business!
You must know that there are a lot of pirates in this world, even if the 'era of pirates' has not really come yet, the number of pirates is not a few.
Although the merchant group itself has its own armed forces, it is nothing on this great voyage, and if it really encounters a more powerful pirate group, the armed forces of the merchant group itself are somewhat insufficient, so Greenton often hires some powerful guards temporarily.
A person with real strength would not be willing to be a subordinate to a small merchant group for a long time, but for the sake of payment, it is still okay to serve occasionally, and Grington understands this, so he does not hesitate to use half of the profits to hire guards every time, just to be safer.
This seemingly 'extravagant' move is one of the most important reasons why Greenton has been able to stand for many years.
For example, this time, he hired a total of seven guards, each of whom was a master found through a more reassuring channel, at least with the strength of a bounty of millions of bounties, and three of them even had the strength of a bounty of more than 10 million.
This kind of lineup of guards, as long as they are not unlucky enough to meet those large pirate groups, will generally be fine.
Lefa is one of the seven guards.
It's just that when Greenton saw Lefa with his own eyes, he was a little dumbfounded.
Because according to the information given by the introducer, this guard named Lei Fa is a two-star bounty hunter, which means that his strength is enough to kill bounties of more than 5 million and less than 10 million bounties.
But the person in front of him looked like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.
Whether it is from its appearance or from its youthful and sunny dress, it has nothing to do with a two-star bounty hunter.
This left Greenton a little undecided.
It's not that he looks down on people or anything, but he took out half of the profit of a merchant in order to invite these seven guards, which is not a small amount even for him. If the person invited is unreliable, it will not only waste money, but also increase the danger of this business.
Lefa also quickly saw the hesitation of the rich old man Glinton, and asked with a smile, "Boss Glinton is worried that my strength is not as good as in the introduction, right?"
"Mr. Refa is too worried, I definitely don't mean that. After thinking about it, Greenton decided not to ask more, because he could trust the introducer this time.
"It's okay, I'll have some doubts, so let's do it, if you don't feel at ease, Boss Greenton, you can let your people try their hands with me. Lefa said with a smile.
Naturally, he was not afraid of any temptation, because the temporary status arranged for him by the round-faced middle-aged man was just a two-star bounty hunter, which was really not challenging.
"It's really unnecessary, don't get me wrong, Mr. Lefa, I was just a little surprised to see you so young. Glinton shook his head again and again, and continued, "Since we have already met, then Mr. Riffa, you can go and rest first, and I will have someone arrange a separate room for you, and after a while, there will be a small dinner here at noon, and Mr. Riffa will be invited to appreciate his face." ”
"Okay, then I'll go and rest first, and when it's almost noon, you ask someone to call me, I'm afraid I'll lose time." Lefa said with a smile.
"This is as it should be. Greenton smiled back.
