Chapter 36 Buying a Boat

"Are you done, don't you continue to look on the boat?" said Old Barr to Tang Jie with a smile on his face.

Tang Jie shook his head: "It's okay, if you want to see it, there will be opportunities in the future." ”

Old Barr smiled, he turned his head, and continued to Darius: "Modify this ship, convert all its cargo holds into gun bays, and then I need to see the surveying room, the storage room, the staff room, the infirmary, and the timber room inside the ship! Besides, all the guns in the gun bays must be breech shotguns, don't fool me with those outdated mortars!"

Old Barr put his iron hook prosthetic leg on Darius's shoulder, and said, "With all these things, there are 20,000 gold coins in total, and there is no more! If you are willing to sell, then sell to us, if you are not, then we will go somewhere else! Anyway, Sisis is not a shipyard!"

Darius's mouth opened wide, but his eyes were full of surprise, this is the standard sea-going construction configuration of a battleship!

He ate and said, "Two masters, what do you want a battleship for?"

Old Barr looked at him forcefully: "Do you sell or not?"

Darius swallowed his saliva and was about to speak, but his eyes suddenly caught sight of Captain Baal's iron hook prosthesis, and his heart suddenly moved.

He, are they really businessmen?

Darius didn't think much about it when he first talked to Old Barr and Tang Jie, knowing that he was far from the only merchant on the dock who was soliciting customers, and if he was one step late, these customers would be pulled away by other merchants. In his opinion, these foreign faces are all wallets that can move.

After a long time of introduction, Darius noticed something unusual about these two people.

This bright iron hook prosthetic, this hair as black as night......

Darius suddenly remembered one of the most talked about by the sailors and the ** in the bar.

Hell, I should have gone back and gouged out my eyes!!

Darius's face suddenly became ugly, as a businessman who was smug with his eyesight, it was such an unforgivable fault to be so negligent!

Are they the pirates who are wreaking havoc in Dam City?

Especially when Darius saw Old Barr's sharp eyes sweeping towards him from time to time, Tang Jie's restrained but unconcealed spirit made Darius feel like a needle on his back.

Darius originally wanted to take this opportunity to kill the two of them, but right now, he had only one thought in his heart: O Almighty Sea God Tira, forgive me for my little greed, let these two guys go quickly, and disappear as far away as possible!

What are the most feared merchants at sea?

The answer is obvious: pirates!

Old Barr and Tang Jie stared at him together, causing a cold sweat to break out on the back of the stocky businessman.

What will they do with me?

I've heard that pirates will hang people from masts, then skin them with knives, and then let the seabirds peck at their flesh and watch them wail to death.

I'm not going to be caught and tortured like this, am I?

Darius's legs and stomach were constantly shaking, he was greedy by nature but afraid of death, and he would shrink himself into a ball at any disturbance, he was really an outlier among the Sicisians. He didn't think about it, how could pirates like Old Barr and Tang Jie dare to be so arrogant as to openly attract the attention of the Sithian guards in broad daylight before revealing their true identities?

Old Barr looked at Darius's face red and white for a while, and sighed: "Forget it, let's go find another seller!"

He glanced at Tang Jie, and the two of them turned to leave, not looking at the three-masted griffon-class sea ship.

The two of them walked less than five paces away when they heard Darius shouting, "Okay, 20,000 gold coins is 20,000 gold coins!"

Darius's face flushed, his chest heaved rapidly, and in his mind it was like an angel shouting: "Are you crazy, sell your ship to two notorious pirates?"

But another demon with a fork in his hand shouted: "They can give me 20,000 gold coins, 20,000 coins! 10,000 gold coins without modifications and cannons, and 8,000 gold coins from sea ships, I can earn at least 2,000 gold coins! This is the money I can earn in ten years!"

The head of the first family of the Pound Continent, Kelsman, once said a well-known saying in the business world: "A merchant is the kind of person who does not hesitate to make a deal with the devil in order to pursue greater interests!"

Clearly, Darius is just that kind of person.

But the stocky merchant, attracted by the price offered by old Barr, maintained the cunning and vigilance of a merchant on the other, and his eyes shone like a fox, as if to see where the two men had conjured up twenty thousand gold coins.

Old Barr smiled, his desire to capture was very effective, and he gave Tang Jie a look: "Congratulations to your child, you have a ship of your own, let's choose a name for it later!"

The two of them walked back laughing, Darius looked at the two of them nervously, swallowing his saliva, and a faint voice in his head shouted desperately: I must be crazy, I am actually making a deal with pirates!

Old Barr took out a thumb-sized turquoise ** eye stone from his arms and stuffed it into the palm of Darius' hand: "Is it worth 20,000 gold coins?"

As soon as Darius's eyes saw such a large opal, his eyes immediately straightened!

He looked at this opal that was crystal clear all over, but a burst of golden light was refracted in the middle, and there was a whirring sound rolling in his throat, panting eagerly.

Darius's fingers trembled slightly as he lifted it from his palm, and he watched the sunlight in the sky.

Usually, the main reason for the cat's eye effect of a cat's eye gemstone is the presence of a large number of small, dense, parallel filamentous rutile mineral inclusions inside the chrysoberyl mineral, and the arrangement of the filaments is parallel to the direction of the chrysoberyl mineral crystal C-axis. After a special directional polishing by a gem expert, the light incident on the inside of the gemstone is reflected through the inclusion, and the emitted light is concentrated into a band of light, which looks like a cat's eye.

In the Pound Continent, opal is extremely rare, and a high-quality opal is deeply favored by those noble women, under their chase, a good opal can often be sold for a shocking price.

Darius was not proficient in identifying the quality and price of opal, but he knew that the value of opal depended on its color, quality, and the perfection of its band of eye.

The cat's eye gem in his hand has a centered, straight and clear light band, and the cat's eye in the middle moves freely with the rotation of the gem. Even in the sun's rays, the cat's eye effect of this opal has not diminished in any way, and its color is the most valuable beeswax color!

This is an excellent opal worth at least 100,000 gold coins!!

The value of this opal alone is enough to form a small fleet!

After identifying this opal, Darius's anger suddenly became thicker, his tongue seemed to be bigger, he held this opal tightly, as if he was afraid that Baal would regret it in the next second, and stammered: "It's worth it, it's worth 20,000 gold coins! Two masters, do you have any other orders? If you have any orders, I will definitely do it for you! Even if you want a breech cannon, I will find a way to get it for you!"

Old Balhaha laughed: "I thought, can you get it?"

Breech shotguns can be freely bought and sold by merchants, but this kind of breech rifle guns with a very long range are forbidden to be sold among the people, and only people in the military circles are eligible to equip and buy, and anyone who dares to buy and sell such cannons will be punished with the most severe punishment!

Darius's cowhide was pierced on the spot, and he was not embarrassed at all, but said to old Barr: "Master, you wait here for a while, I will go and get the contract, and this ship will be yours in a while!

"Five days, five days is too long......" Old Barr frowned.

Darius bit his lip nervously and stretched out three fingers: "At least three days, I will let my workers work overtime to catch up, what do you think?"

Old Barr knew that three days was the limit time to complete the transformation of a sea vessel.

He nodded: "Three days is three days, but if I come to pick up the goods, I find that you cut corners and are concise, or you haven't done it well......!"

The bearded man put the iron hook around Darius's neck and sneered, only to scare him out of his mind. Darius said yes again and again, and left quickly.

Tang Jie watched this fat man run away as fast as he won the 100-meter championship, like a rolling meat ball, he never knew that a meat ball could roll so fast!

"How much is that gem of yours worth? Why do I think we're losing?" Tang Jie looked at Barr in confusion.

Captain Baal smiled: "At the Imperial Capital Auction seven months ago, an identical opal was sold for a high price of 130,000 gold coins, how much do you say it is worth?"

Tang Jie's color changed suddenly, and he gasped: "130,000 gold coins, isn't that enough to buy ten three-masted griffon-class sea ships?!"

"What a loss, why don't you exchange this cat's eye gem for gold coins?" Tang Jie asked rhetorically.

Old Barr looked at Tang Jie and sighed: "Kid, where did this gem come from, I'm sure you should be able to guess it!" However, you have to understand that it is just a drop in the bucket of the Pirate King Athos's treasure, as long as we find Athos's treasure first, there will be money that will never be spent!"

"What we lack now is not money, but time!" Tang Jie reacted very quickly, and immediately realized.

Old Barr nodded approvingly, and he patted Tang Jie's shoulder: "Let's go, let's get out of here!"

"Where are we going in a moment?" asked Tang Jie.

"Go to the Green Forest Bar in Sisis. Barr Sr. said.

"What are you doing there?" Tang Jie asked strangely.

Old Barr smiled: "Silly boy, you have a ship, but can you run it alone?

After speaking, Old Barr frowned at Tang Jie and said: "By the way, there is a very nice woman there, you can get to know each other! When you come to Siss, if you don't go to the Green Forest, and you haven't drunk with Maria in the Green Forest, then you haven't been to Siss!"
