Chapter 30: The Sea of Storms
It's in this stalemate.
A barrel with long legs sprang out of the camp and made its way through the crowd to the front.
When he saw Ji Chen and Naga Warriors, although they were also shocked, their performance was much better than others.
【Raymond】
[Race]: Human
[Level]: 5
[Skill]: Trade Smell (Blue Skill, with a very keen business sense, find any opportunity to make money)
Persuasion (blue skill, able to speak well, able to persuade others with clever language)
Lucky (white skill, sometimes able to survive to the death)
[Note]: The consul of the Chamber of Commerce has good business skills
The fat barrel was named Raymond, and it seemed that he was the head of the merchant ship.
Ji Chen planned to strike first.
Squinting his eyes, he said in an extremely unkind tone.
"I am the lord of this archipelago, and you have invaded my territory, which is a great provocation to me."
"Although I don't know how you came here, but you trespassed here without permission, for the inviolable sovereignty of the territory, I have the right to kill you all on the spot, even the god of the sea cannot condone such a crime."
"But the Lord is a merciful and forgiving man who can give you a chance to explain."
"You'd better give me a reasonable explanation now, or you'll be met with my untold wrath."
I'm going to stand on the moral high ground and point fingers at you, take the lead, and see how you respond.
Behind him, the tall and strong Naga warrior also half-raised his bone blade, and a threatening hissing sound came from his throat.
Really.
was hit in the face by this burst of words, and Raymond's face was a little embarrassed and caught off guard.
Looking at the Naga warriors who were extremely ferocious and gave them great pressure, a cold sweat couldn't help but flow from their heads.
I secretly complained in my heart, who the hell knew that this archipelago in the stormy sea had a lord?
Because of preconceived reasons, Raymond did not have the slightest doubt about Ji Chen's words.
Or don't dare to have doubts.
Don't you see this group of terrifying snake-tailed warriors, watching them with fierce eyes?
Try it and die.
After considering the language, Raymond spoke in a sincere and apologetic tone.
"Honorable lord, I beg your pardon for our reckless behavior, and allow me to offer you my sincerest apologies on behalf of the entire crew of the White Sands Princess."
"Listen to our explanation.
Seeing him like this, Ji Chen's heart was slightly happy, and his face eased a little.
Raymond breathed a sigh of relief at this and continued.
"We didn't mean to trespass into your territory, in fact, we were pursued by pirates, and we had to flee here to save our lives..."
After some explanation, Ji Chenchu learned about this merchant ship and the origin of this group of people.
Moored in the sea, the White Sand Princess, belonging to the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce in the Western Continent, is an ocean-going merchant ship that travels to and from the Middle Sea.
Raymond was the consul of the merchant ship, and was attacked by pirates while returning from the Eastern Continent to the Western Continent.
In order to escape the pursuit of pirates, they had no choice but to flee to this sea area for refuge, and accidentally discovered the archipelago.
From Raymond's explanation, he got some other important information from the few words.
The middle of the earth, with the stormy seas.
The Ocean in the Earth, as the name suggests, is the ocean in the middle of the earth, and its geographical location is the same as the Mediterranean Sea on the Blue Star, with the ocean in the middle and surrounded by continents on all sides.
During this period, there were many islands, and because of the geographical location, the sea routes were very developed, and there were many merchant ships, so there were many pirates.
The storm sea area is a forbidden sea area in the middle of the earth, because there are extremely bad storms entrenched all year round, the sea conditions are bad, far away from the shipping route, and no one dares to enter.
Because most of the ships that dared to enter, except for the White Sands Princess, had sunk to the bottom of the sea.
And the archipelago where he is located is in the middle of this sea.
Although he had been mentally prepared for the location of the territory, Ji Chen still couldn't help but complain secretly.
This is a goddamn good position, isn't this the existence of the Bermuda Triangle similar to the Blue Star?
And it's far away from the route, if it weren't for the fact that this merchant ship was chased by pirates and came here by accident, I'm afraid he wouldn't have seen other living people in his life.
It is precisely because of this that he must take this merchant ship.
Otherwise, when this caravan leaves, then everything will be at the same point, and if you want to wait until the next ship arrives here, you don't know what year and month it will be.
The malice in his heart gradually rose, but his face did not change.
Raymond naturally didn't know Ji Chen's inner activities, and after some talking, seeing his still indifferent expression, he thought that he couldn't persuade with words alone.
Immediately gritted his teeth.
"Your Excellency, I once again express my sincere apologies to you, and in order to express our apologies, we are willing to make certain compensation."
Hearing this, Ji Chen showed a slightly interested look.
I saw Raymond beckoning, shouting at a few sailors to take out two small wooden boxes from the camp and offer them respectfully.
【Chest with Gold Coins】
[Capacity]: Oriu Gold Coin (300 pieces)
【Chest with Silver Coins】
[Capacity]: Silver Kells (600 pieces)
Money? I liked it the most.
Although it is not yet known how much these coins are worth and how many things can be bought.
But seeing the distressed expression on the face of this fat man, it is probably a lot.
He bowed his head lightly and took it away.
After accepting the apology, Ji Chen couldn't continue to keep a straight face.
His face softened, and he said lightly: "Since you are so sincere and did not intrude on purpose, then I will no longer hold you responsible, but you can only operate near this tidal flat, and you must not venture into other places, otherwise you will be treated as an intruder."
"Thank you for your leniency," Raymond said with a happy face, "We have one more small request. ”
"Due to pirate pursuits and storms, we have lost a lot of food and fresh water reserves, and I would like to buy some from Your Excellency."
Food and fresh water? There are many territories, and there are too many to eat.
When it came to buying, he remembered a few specialties from his own territory, and thought that he would bring them over tomorrow for them to see.
"That's fine, I'll bring food and fresh water tomorrow."
After repeatedly warning Raymond that they should not leave the mudflats, he left with the Naga Warriors.
This was the end of the brief contact with them.
Back in the middle of the jungle.
Ji Chen's eyes were thoughtful.
Thinking about the plans and details of seizing the ship in the future.
Raymonds and they need to repair their ships, and they are also short of food and fresh water, so they should stay here for a while.
So you don't have to be too anxious to grab the boat right away, you can take it slowly.
The other is the issue of snatching.
Although Alice can control everyone on the shore in an instant with her singing, she cannot affect the guards and sailors stationed on the ship at the same time.
As soon as they see the situation on the shore, they may immediately sail away.
If they forcibly seize the ship, they will have the suicidal act of scuttling through the hull.
At that time, the bamboo basket will be empty.
For absolute certainty, it is best to wait until a dark and windy night to attack merchant ships directly.
As long as the ship is controlled, then the people on the shore will naturally not be able to escape the palm of his hand.
You're in control!
To be on the safe side.
He left half of the fish-men still lurking in the waters near the merchant ships, destroying the bottom of the ships as soon as they showed signs of forced departure, forcing them to stop.
The other half hides in the jungle to spy on Raymond and them, preventing them from running around and detecting the situation on the island.
