"Ahhh Welcome to Port Carlin, my dear friend. The fat man let out a hearty laugh with his arms outstretched.

With the laughter, the fat on his body was trembling up and down, and the waves of meat were even more wave after wave and couldn't stop at all.

Zuo Si couldn't imagine how unrestrained a person had to be to overeat to eat like this.

Bernard quickly stepped down from the boat and hugged each other, and said in a slightly apologetic tone, "Sorry, Chief Epke." I had some accidents at sea, so it was a little later than scheduled. ”

"Accident?" The bald fat man known as Epke first froze for a moment, and then quickly turned his gaze to the other pirate ship docked at the berth next to him, and his face quickly showed a look of sudden realization. "You've encountered pirates!"

"Yes. My ship and I were tragically targeted by Captain Hallett of the Bloody Hand. But fortunately, there is no danger, and I finally sent you this important shipment. ”

As he spoke, Bernard beckoned the first mate and several sailors to lift a sealed oversized crate up, followed by a crowbar to pry open a few planks, revealing the actual cargo inside.

It was a row of steel crossbows that Ammu had equipped with his own army, and underneath it was equipped with a special armor-piercing arrow with great penetrating power.

The sharp prismatic arrows reflect a faint cold light, which is scary just to look at.

You don't have to ask to know that this thing is absolutely contraband.

At least on the surface, Amm officially banned exports, let alone allowed them to flow into the private market.

The reason is simple!

It's not a sword, armor, bow or anything like that.

Instead, it only takes a few dozen and one salvo to take out a large group of heavily armed soldiers.

In addition to this, the use of a strong crossbow does not have to be trained for as long as a bow and arrow at all.

All you need to do is pull the string with enough force, then put the arrow into the groove and aim it at the enemy and pull the trigger.

In fact, in most of the cities of Faerun, crossbows are typically contraband, and are never sold openly by merchants and vendors, as is the case in the game.

Seeing the crossbow and the armor-piercing arrow, Epke's eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly took it out of the crate, pulled the bowstring hard, put an armor-piercing arrow into it, and aimed it at the boat and pulled the trigger.

Sou!

Bang!

The arrows unsurprisingly sinked into it, shooting directly through the hard thick planks.

"Awesome! This is exactly what I need. How many did you bring this time? Satisfied, Epke put the crossbow back in the box and asked bluntly.

Bernard replied without thinking: "The number of crossbows is five hundred, the number of armor-piercing arrows is ten thousand, and there are thirty thousand ordinary arrows, which is enough for you to start several guild wars, and even sell them to other cities in Kalinshan to make a lot of money." ”

Epke's fat face showed a look of satisfaction: "This amount does sound reassuring. As agreed, I will pay you a generous enough amount. However, at the moment, the docks are crowded, and the transaction cannot be carried out until after dark. ”

"No problem! We pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other after dark. In addition, the ship also brought a lot of Ascatra specialties to hide people's eyes, and you need to go to the market to contact buyers. Can I leave the safety of the ship to you? Bernard also took the opportunity to make a request.

Because he had already fallen out with the sailors, he couldn't believe that these men could take care of the cargo.

Add to that the insane number of thieves at the docks in Port Carlin, and if one is not careful, there will be inexplicably less cargo on board.

"Yes. I'll send someone to watch the two ships for you later. But if I'm not mistaken, the other one should not be a merchant ship but a warship, right? ”

Epke stared at the pirate ship that had belonged to Hallett, his eyes full of amusement.

As the leader of a Thieves' Guild, he has been in close contact with pirates operating around the Nälancer Islands.

After all, when the latter sells stolen goods and buys weapons and supplies, they often have to resort to the channels of the thieves' guild.

The leaders of the Thieves' Guild occasionally need pirates to help take out some troublesome enemies.

The business relationship between the two sides is simply not ordinarily close.

However, before Bernard could explain, Epke saw Harlet, whose upper body was trapped in a dumpling, walking up from under the cabin by a leopard.

Moment!

The bald fat man opened his mouth wide in shock and hurriedly rubbed his eyes with his hands, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

It took a few seconds before he asked in an uncertain tone, "You...... You defeated and captured Captain Bloody Hand?! ”

"No, it's not me. It's Lord Soss. Bernard hurriedly corrected.

"Soth? You mean the young warrior in chain mail? Epke gestured to the soldiers standing on the deck not far away.

Bernard shook his head with a wry smile: "Wrong. It was the boy next to him who looked to be about ten years old. ”

"What? Are you kidding? The bloody captain who has been galloping on the sea for so many years was planted in the hands of a child? ”

Epke felt like his worldview was collapsing.

"Don't be fooled by Lord Soth's appearance.

He's not a kid.

Rather, a cunning, ruthless, and cruel necromancer.

I watched him poison Harlett's pirates to pieces, then resurrect them as zombies one by one, and drown their enemies alive with hundreds of undead. ”

As he said this, the merchant's eyes revealed a strong sense of awe.

Unlike most Ams, who hate to repel magic.

When Bernard was young, in order to open up trade routes, he went to Luskan and Waterdeep in the north, and came into contact with many mages and warlocks.

I know what it means to be able to transform and control so many undead in a short period of time.

However, the merchant didn't know that Zuo Si actually didn't have the ability to control the total number of zombies as high as more than two hundred, and only led them to the nearest target through magic rituals.

That's why, he didn't show up until the zombies were almost cleaned up.

Because if it's too early, those undead will attack him with him.

"Necromancer?" Epke's pupils dilated, as if he realized something. "What do you mean......"

"Shhhh Don't say it! Lord Soth doesn't like to be judged of the way he is. Bernard lowered his voice and issued a warning.

"I see! No wonder you escaped safe and sound from Captain Bloodhand's pursuit, but luckily you met a powerful necromancer. Looks like Hallette is going to bleed profusely this time. Epke cracked his mouth with a gloating expression.

"Not only was it bleeding, he almost lost his life."

"What do you think I'd go up and say hello to Harlett? He should be happy to see my old friend, right? ”

"Maybe. Look, he's coming towards us. ”

With the two of them ending their whispered whispers, Zuo Si finally packed his belongings and planned to go ashore with the leopard, the soldiers, and his captives.

The long period of turbulent life at sea is about to shake people's brains.

Although he didn't get seasick himself, he was eager to have a truly hearty and delicious meal, with some fresh fruit to supplement his vitamins and finally find a soft bed that wouldn't shake and sleep beautifully.

As for everything else, it's all going to come later.
