Chapter 105: Bloody Sail Fleet
Seeing that the two goblins instantly changed from pinching each other to hugging, Lanloth's smile suddenly froze on his face. miscalculated, and forgot how lethal the shocking makeup on his face was.
"Ahem. Silently putting on his scarf again, Lanloth coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment before speaking, "As you can see, my name is Lanloth, and I am a High Elf spellcaster. ”
In the middle of the night, he encountered a strange man with strange makeup, and the two goblins were so frightened that they were scattered. It was only after the other party covered his face with a face towel for a while that they came to their senses.
"Really, I really didn't expect the Transfiguration Spell to be used like this. Toksbinder wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.
Hearing this, Lan Luos's eyelids jumped, but reading the plan he had just drawn up, he resisted the urge to flip the table, smiled, and said calmly: "To the master...... No, I mean I can help you. ”
Hearing this, Mazik also came to his senses: "What did you say?"
"It just so happened that something happened just now, and there are the legal residents of Treasure Bay, well, missing. I can help you disguise yourself if you want. ”
"How much do you want?" Toksbinder, worthy of an old goblin, immediately reacted by stuffing the gold coin in his pocket, "We don't have much money left to buy these two tickets." ”
"I'm not short of money. Lanros smiled softly, pretending to be lifelike.
Hearing this, the eyes of the two goblins lit up instantly.
Seeing this, the smile on Lanloth's face became even bigger: "But it just so happens that I have a project that needs help, you two are quite qualified, if you want, you can leave Treasure Bay with me in a few days." ”
"Where?" asked Marzik, alertly as he stopped the eager Toksbinder.
"Tanaris. "Ranros didn't hide this," Quel'Salas has partnered with Blue Dragon to build a large-scale enterprise on that land that will trade in resources such as fresh water, oil and gas, and minerals. As long as you are willing to join and contribute your talents and abilities, I assure you that not only will you be safe, but you will also know that elves and dragons have always been generous. ”
"But it's the territory of the hot sand group. A sugar-coated cannonball hit him, and Mazik couldn't help but swallow his saliva, but after many years of business, he was much more alert than the old engineer, "If Rivigaz reports to Gakison and puts pressure on you, why do you keep us both?"
"It's up to you. "Lanlos knows how clever it can be. The strength of a business relationship comes from the benefits to both parties. If you blindly give benefits and promises without worries, it will only make the other party taboo.
Although Mazik is a businessman, he also understands that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Although Lanloth's words sounded uncomfortable, they also showed his sincerity. Pay to be rewarded.
After all, Ratchet City is also affiliated with the Hot Sand Group after all, and the reason why they plan to escape there is only due to the reputation of the local leader, Gazruvi, who is relatively righteous.
Now there's a chance to get on the lap of elves and dragons, and that's great. The problem is, Mazik doesn't know how credible this guy is.
"I'll be staying in Treasure Cove for a few more days, and as a matter of sincerity, I can help you disguise yourself first, and when I'm ready to leave, it's not too late for you to make a decision. Lanlos obviously saw Mazik's concerns, and he didn't press it, and directly raised his hand and waved.
Despite their vigilance, the arcane energy easily broke through their wills and successfully shone through the two of them. In just a few seconds, the faces of the two changed dramatically.
"Hey, Mazik, you look like a bitter waiter right now. Grabbing his companion's collar and looking left and right, Toxbinder burst out laughing.
On the other hand, Mazik, who was too lazy to say more to the old engineer, looked at Lanlos with surprise in his eyes. He had seen a spellcaster before, but it was the first time he had encountered such a freehand of casting spells in conversation.
The absolute difference in strength made Mazik feel a lot more relieved: "Then let's just say it." ”

Somewhere in the southeast corner of Wanghai Cliff, three large ships with steel edges were quietly docked on the calm sea, completely integrated with the deep night.
The evening breeze blew, raising the skeletal banner that was smeared like blood. The howl of the flag, like the roar of a ferocious beast, intimidates all living beings in the nearby seas.
On deck, the sailors on duty did not hold torches to light up the night, but each wore a pair of thermal goggles, vigilant of the silence around.
"Someone's coming! Alert!" The second officer, who was still resting on the observation deck a second ago, suddenly stood up straight, stared carefully at the slowly approaching orange dot in the goggles, and hurriedly shouted to the guards below.
At the same time, most of the men gathered in the bow of the ship and pointed their muskets in the direction of the comers.
Although thermal imaging can see living creatures in the dark, it cannot distinguish the outfit of the person, let alone whether it is friend or foe.
However, just as everyone's nerves were tense, the small boat in the distance slid to a certain distance and suddenly stopped, and the orange-red dots that had shrunk into a ball slowly stretched out and turned into an upright humanoid figure. Then, the figure raised its hands in the air, leaving its left hand unmoved, and its right arm swinging one after another at different speeds.
"It's our people. Seeing the established response gesture, the guards breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly lit an oil lamp and hung it on the boarding cable.
Seeing this scene, Lanlos lowered his hands, but his face was full of sarcasm.
A pirate who prides himself on being free and unfettered, but he has set so many rules for himself. Isn't this just jumping from one pit to another? It's ridiculous.
In the final analysis, it's just a plausible excuse for your own selfish desires.
But how is this not the case with the world?
Paddled the boat, Lanlos slowly approached the boarding position, and the sharpness and danger in his expression became more and more intense.

"What's been the reaction from the Booty Bay side lately?"
"Aside from clearing out a bunch of spies we've put on the surface, we shouldn't have noticed our actions. "In the enclosed captain's cabin, a candle flame dispelled the darkness and illuminated Phillaren's vision. But as the captain of the Red Mist and the commander of the Blood Sail Fleet, he didn't dare to raise his head and look directly into the other party's gaze.
"Should?" the tone of the man on the other side changed suddenly, and the urgency that pressed on his chest like a mountain made Phil Laren quickly change his words.
"No, it's certainly not. As planned, Treasure Bay is still busy checking out the merchants who have recently traded with us, and the patrol force at sea has not only not increased, but has been held back by it. ”
The man didn't seem to hear Phil Laren's explanation, and took peanuts and fed them to the parrot that was quietly standing on his shoulder.
Strange to say, such a small creature would usually be nervous and restless in such a dim and closed environment, but this parrot seemed to know human nature, and stared at Phil Laren with the same contempt as its owner.
"Well done, the planned fleet will soon be able to enter the coastline of the Valley of Thorns, and it is expected to join us the night after tomorrow. ”
Although it seemed to be a compliment, Phil Laren felt more and more difficult to breathe instead of feeling joy.
"In order to take the Treasure Bay in one fell swoop, you have a great responsibility, and you must make sure that there are no mistakes, otherwise you will ......"
Wail!
The parrot's scream interrupted the man's threat, and Phil Laren was relieved to hear the commotion coming from outside the cabin: "I'll go see what's going on." ”
The evening breeze brought in by the opening of the hatch shook the candles, and in the constantly trembling darkness, the man who belonged to the captain showed a torch-like gaze, staring straight in the direction of the door.
"Crackers, go see what's going on. ”
The parrot let out a short chirp, flapped its wings, and snuck out through the crack in the closing door.
