Volume I: The End of the Outlaw 141
The man standing in front of him had a really big nose, not only a big nose, but also a very wide forehead. Men with broad foreheads are said to be intelligent. Unfortunately, a broad brow means that the hairline will run back desperately to show how wide the forehead of a smart person is.
Although the hair on his head had receded noticeably, the beard on his chin and around his mouth was so lush to complement it.
"Hmm!" He nodded to us and walked over. His eyelashes are very long, and his eyes, which are not very large, do not seem to match these long eyelashes.
"Hey, Donald!" The bartender is full of spring breeze.
"Business isn't going very well today." He glanced at me and pulled out a round stool and sat on it. This guy is not very burly, but he looks very strong.
"By the way, his name is Bill, and he's a Lordaeron merchant." The bartender smiled.
"Ha, Lordaeron!" He looked surprised. "It's been many, many years since I've seen a Lordaeron. It's ......," he raised an eyebrow. "Luckily!" He smiled and held out his hand.
"Hello." I took his hand, and it was thick and strong.
"This is Donald." The bartender introduced me to it.
"Don Adams." He said.
"This Mr. Bill wants to recruit some sailors." The bartender helped with referrals.
The Donald looked at me with a smile on his face. "How many people do you want?"
"What's the price here?"
"Tell me how many people you want." He said.
"The more the merrier!" I say.
He laughed, "Hah! His tone was full of disbelief. The more the merrier. What do you want? ”
"Ocean, do some business." I'm making up nonsense.
"Hmph, it's forbidden to be a privateer. Also, if you're looking for someone to be a pure pirate, I'd advise you to stop. "He didn't care about my feelings or thoughts, he just said to himself.
"Nope! No! I shook my head. I'm not a pirate, I don't want to loot, I just want to take some people to the Stormwind Kingdom. "I tell you the truth.
"Stormwind Kingdom?" He frowned. "Do you want to rob while it's hot? Yours is it! His tone was still full of suspicion.
"You know that, too?" His answer piqued my curiosity.
"Know what?"
"Some time ago, a guy from the Stormwind Kingdom appeared in the north, and he preached everywhere ......"
"Know, how can you not know this little thing, he also gave a speech on the altar. Hmph, he's a humorous guy. ”
"Humor?"
"Yes, humor. He declared that a man who could not conquer even his own wife tried to make the whole kingdom fall at his feet, and the people were silent, and he did not like the people to say about him. And the silence of the people is the best warning to the king. I remember him saying that. ”
I frowned, this is humor? Forgive me, I don't feel anything is humorous. However, I do not want to discuss with him what the king's incompetence is.
"How many crew members can you provide me?"
"How much do you want? The more the merrier...... I have more than 300 people under my hands, what do you want? "He obviously didn't take me seriously.
"Okay, three hundred, almost." I said.
His smile froze, and he pouted. "You're not kidding me."
"Do you think I'm joking with you?"
"Ha, that's good. Both! Do you want to be king? ”
"If I become king, I can consider making you my prime minister." I also learned to joke with him.
"The price is not low! Mr. Bill. He shook his head slightly.
"I'll listen to what you say."
He held out four fingers.
"Four hundred?" I deliberately pretended to be confused.
"Four hundred, I'll add two hundred to you, hire me your people." He snorted from his nostrils as he spoke. "Four thousand gold coins!" He said.
"It's high." I'm lowering the price.
"It's a friendship price." He said. "My sailors are the strongest of all Kurtiras's hired sailors. If I hadn't met you and everyone knew me, I wouldn't have been so cheap with you. ”
"Three thousand gold coins." I had a serious face.
"It's not negotiable. Four thousand! "He was resolute.
"Then I'll have to inquire again." I said.
The bartender let out a sneering laugh. I glanced at the bartender who was smiling with his mouth covered, and then at Donald. Donald looked disdainful.
"Without me, you can't take a single sailor with you, and you can't sail a ship." He shook his head. "It's good that we didn't collect more taxes from you."
I told him to tell me he was dizzy. I turned my eyes to the bartender, who pointed at him and said, "They all have something to do with your theft today." ”、
I was stunned for a moment.
"He was also stolen?" Donald seemed to be interested.
"He was just stolen, on Mariner Street." The bartender explained.
"Hmph." Donald touched his shiny head and said, "Since that's the case, let's know each other." ”
While I was still confused, the bartender leaned towards me and said, "He's the boss of the Bone Carving Gang." ”
"Who's that fat man?" I said in surprise.
"That guy you're talking about is called Hawkins." Boss Tang said: "Hmph, the more that guy mixes up, the less he looks like a boss." ”
The bartender looked confused and explained to me, "There are several branches of the Carved Bone Gang, and Donald is only one of them, and the Hawkins who stole your money is the boss of the other branch." ”
"Are they responsible for stealing?"
"No, no, no!" Donald waved his hand. "Although they will do some stealing things, but ......" his voice stopped abruptly.
He just stared at me, as if thoughtful.
"We can actually make a deal." Boss Tang looked at me and didn't seem to have told me anything.
Back on the boat, I locked myself in my room, thinking over and over again whether I should discuss the matter with Ralph. But there's always a voice in my heart telling me that you can call the shots on your own.
I didn't immediately say yes to this man named Don, Adams. On the one hand, I don't know much about him, so I don't trust him. On the other hand, this matter may cause me a lot of trouble. But there are also more important issues in front of him, if not for his willing nod of agreement. According to the bartender later, it was really impossible to take away from Kurtilas, at least one of the sailors under them.
I decided to talk to Ralph about it.
The first day of coming to Kul Tiras was coming to an end. It's not that there isn't any big credit, but at least one thing is certain. That is. There's a good chance we've got one foot in trouble.
Ralph had probably drunk too much last night, and he sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes slightly straight. I couldn't help but sigh.
"Now that this is the case, what else is there to discuss?" Ralph gets straight to the point and gets straight to the point. ”
I was about to open my mouth when Ralph interjected again. "Are you sure you're really going to bring so many people back to the Stormwind Kingdom?"
"Sure." I gave her a determined look as I spoke.
"If there's anyone who needs help, just say it." In the end, he didn't forget to show himself? "But I always felt that it wasn't that simple."
Looking at his slightly straight eyes, I said, "It seems that the warmth and gentleness of Kurtilas last night made you very useful." ”
"you!" Ralph was a little impatient and lay straight into the hammock.
Now that Talar has already agreed, this matter cannot be delayed any longer.
I've sent out several guys who are quite physically fit and have a pretty high IQ.
Donald's secret purpose is very clear, which is how to put the sin on the guy named Hawkins.
Donald didn't give me much information, he only pointed out the goal of the work, and he didn't plan how to implement it. There is only one goal, and that is to get Hawkins dead.
But this is easy to say, but it is troublesome to do. He also made a request. It's how to put the charge of assassinating Hawkins on that guy called Cannon.
This Donald wants to borrow a knife to kill someone.
For the assassination of such an obese middle-aged and elderly person. I don't have any doubts myself. But I really can't figure out how to put this pot on the head of that guy named Cannon.
In the tavern, I met Donald again, and he was still smiling and full of spring breeze.
"Have you thought about it?" He asked me.
"Why should I trust you?"
"You can only trust me. Because here you have no right to doubt. Donald said. You just have to tell me what you do or don't do? ”
I nodded in response.
"There's going to be a gamble tonight." Donald lowered his voice.
"Sanderson is in charge of the casino, and Lord Kannon will be visiting that casino tonight. Hawkins has already received an invitation, that is, the protagonists of tonight have already arrived. ”
"And then?"
"Gambling, some people win, some people lose, only a small number of people make money, and many more people lose money. And tonight, our poor Lord Hawkins, will be the protagonist of the night. ”
"Wouldn't it be enough to just kill him? It's not a big deal. ”
"Of course it needs to be killed, Mr. Bill. But today we want to let the two of them not only have a narrow path, but also let them both do something. ”
I don't seem to understand, he explained. "For Hawkins to be killed in the casino, but the one who kills him has to be Cannon."
"It's hard to do."
"If you succeed tonight, tomorrow you'll have a neat 300 of the strongest Kurtilas sailors. There are also 4 plundering ships that are large enough. ”
"Of course, it takes money. I'll give you a discount at my discretion. He said it lightly.
I nodded lightly and took the casino's identification badge from her
"I'm going to make it. Please keep your promises as well. I asked again, "How much discount?" ”
"Two thousand gold." He raised two fingers. "Try to come back alive."
