Chapter 16 Who doesn't have a business model

Frank's account wasn't complicated.

Yesterday afternoon, Frank, who had been scared all over again and was at a loss, accidentally bumped into the owner of the stall on the road.

The boss began to be absent-minded, and when he realized that Frank was a young and money-strapped new face, he asked him to watch the movements around the port at night on the grounds that he needed help, and gave him an advance salary of five hundred kol guilders.

Five hundred guilders was enough for Frank to save money for a month, not to mention that the boss promised to hire him to work at the stall in the future.

As a man who almost starved himself to death, and tried to be a thief in desperation and failed, Frank readily agreed.

Finally got the job, he also wanted to fulfill his duties, afraid that he would accidentally fall asleep, and even found a family's straw stack to rest for a while, and then came to the beach at night as promised, sat on the beach and began to check the dynamics of the dock.

The beach at night is rarely crowded, but the overall environment is refreshing – until the cannon fires.

Frank had discovered the pirate ship before this, and knew that the boss had told him to observe the people and things nearby, so he wrote down the characteristics when the wind was calm.

He hadn't even seen much of the sea before, and he didn't know much about real-world pirates, but he had the leisure to distinguish the icons on the flags that were illuminated by the moonlight and wrinkled by the sea breeze.

The pirate flag pattern on a black background is simple and clear, with a classic skull in the center, wearing an azure three-legged hat, but half of the eye socket is completely covered by the blindfold.

The bones that crossed below the skull were replaced with scimitars and swords.

The other feature is a sloppy griffon, at the tip of a long sword, marked with a cross.

Frank didn't know anything else, but he knew that the extra markings on the pirate flag were a form of intimidation and warning, not only to indicate the level of threat, but also to indicate the position of the pirate group against the griffon, which was the symbol of the kingdom of Crowley.

Rao is also aware that Frank can see that this is a special case in the pirate group. Other rumored flags at most have the names of their enemies engraved on the skeletons and the bones embellished to symbolize the removal of the enemy's head.

And the appearance is simple and ordinary, but it is directly declared against a country, which is simply unheard of.

But Frank didn't have time to think about it so much at that time, and was continuing to observe, when someone suddenly fired a cannon.

"And then you ran away?"

Frank shook his head, but hesitated.

"I was actually hiding nearby, trying to see what was going on...... It's all fired, I'm definitely going to dodge. ”

Frank, who was lucky, didn't go far, just found a shelter near the harbor and continued to watch the details.

After that, the sea seemed to be much calmer, and he observed the "opponent" of the pirate ship as he wished.

A second cannon sounded right after.

Both cannons actually came from a pirate ship, and the target of the cannon was an eerie black cargo ship.

"The ship was weird, I thought it was only because of the shape and silhouette." Frank frowned, "It's about the size of a pirate ship, and I can't see the figure...... Almost everywhere is dark, except for the windows. ”

Now that the pirate ship was anchored in the harbor, the others were more or less afraid to approach it, except for the owners or sailors of various cargo ships who had to approach and return to their ships, after all, the bright flag was there.

As a person with the ability to protect himself, Mogan actually wants to go and see, but after all, he has something to do for a while, and he doesn't want to "show up" and have multiple rights and wrongs before he has a certain understanding - he is not a reckless man who is rampage, and he never fights unprepared battles.

But Frank had been there before. After all, he had been keeping an eye on the large "incident" of the pirate ship until he landed, and he really didn't sleep all night.

From memory, Frank was able to infer the size of the cargo ship from the size of the existing pirate ship.

The reason for this troublesome need is also because after two cannons, the cargo ship disappeared completely from the sea level.

"It's like a ghost ship!"

Frank watched the whole process and did have a say. But he wrinkled his eyebrows, and he still hadn't figured out why.

"I was mainly looking at the pirate ship, mainly because it fired the cannon, but the cargo ship also looked at it once in a while, so I wouldn't get distracted. I felt like I saw the cargo ship on the side for a second, and in a few seconds, it was completely gone! ”

Mogan listened to him continue to think about how he was surprised, how he approached the pirate ship that was parked in the same way as he stole chickens and dogs, and saw a few sailors with their trouser legs rolled up, and even a few baldness on it.

At the same time, he squinted, searched for clues in his mind, and thought about it briefly.

Blue hat, black blindfold, sword cross, pirate flag naming griffin......

It seems to have a slight impression.

The griffin symbolizes courage and nobility, and the representative guardian beast of the Kingdom of Crowley is the griffon.

It's not a question of whether or not the Kingdom of Cole takes the initiative to attack the pirate ships that demonstrate to its neighbors like this, and the Kingdom of Crowley, which is across the sea from Cole, happens to be the target of the war thirty years ago.

Due to some remaining reasons, the relationship between the two countries can only be said to be moderate, and they are not very friendly neighbors, and they are so harmonious that they want to stand out.

The problem is that they are now on the southern side of the continent, while the kingdom of Crowley is north of the continent across the bay.

Why did the pirate ship that resisted the Crowley Kingdom run away from the Crowley Kingdom a full continent away from the Krolley Kingdom and ran to the seashore on the other side of the Cole Kingdom?

It would have been reasonable to want to rest the ranks in a less aggressive place, but the strangest thing was that it had openly and deliberately opened fire, made such a big noise, and then stopped on the harbor so boldly early in the morning.

In addition, there is the black cargo ship that has been missing with minimal information so far......

Lacking clues, Rao is Mogan is temporarily unable to advance. But Frank still had something to say.

"I really doubt that there will be ghosts on that cargo ship. I'm not talking about real ghosts, ghosts or ghosts, or ghosts, or ghosts in people's hearts. Where is there a ship that will cover itself completely, making it so tight, it is obviously the attacked party, but compared to the pirate ship, it is even a girl who runs! It's not a ghost in the heart, what is? ”

Morganton felt that the young man's brain circuits were unusual, but he was also interested in listening.

"Why do you think that?"

Although it is true that the black cargo ship is suspicious, the average person's thinking is not to start speculating from this angle at the first time.

Although it can be seen that this Frank does not have the basic impression of "burning, killing and looting" of pirate ships like most seaside residents, and is most likely a child who lives inland as a child and has only read fictional books, he will not start conspiracy theories from the bottom.

Of course, Mogan didn't mind this conspiracy theory at all.

Without much fanfare about influencing others, he appreciates the ability to go to extremes and enumerate the worst-case behaviors—because that's his specialty.

Frank was also a little weak-hearted, "I've seen a lot of people...... Some guys just have bad minds! Maybe there was some invisible person on the cargo ship, who was as invisible as the ship, and ran to kill the people on the pirate ship. ”

"Which guys?"

"How do I know......" Frank muttered quietly, "a bad guy like that kind of guy who goes against Her Majesty......"

Mogan was even more surprised this time.

The main thing that was mixed into Her Majesty's cliché was that he had only heard in the classroom of a noble governess.

This kind of discourse education is not brainwashing, because this kind of cliché is like an "answer template" for the upper class, and no matter how you say it, you can't go wrong.

Even if it is really secret, if someone dares to point out, it will be thankless to be charged with a crime of contempt for the queen for no reason.

Mogan needed to practice a different subject than an aristocratic child, and his parents were not interested in social situations, and he got tired of listening to it for a few days.

But he also has an understanding, after all, the object of this kind of aristocratic tutor is largely the potential market for him to make money.

Could it be that this child was a young nobleman when he was alone, before he was exiled in a foreign land?

How did that get to such a point?

"Repeat customer?"

At this time, the stall owner I saw yesterday walked over from nearby.

Today he cleaned up more properly than yesterday, he didn't see any clues, he was dressed more formally, he kept his beard on his beard, and he only saw a side face of Mogan and greeted him.

"Is there anything you want to buy today? Or maybe you're trying to trade the dragon scales clue for something? ”

Who doesn't have a business model?

There can be kings, there can be evil dragons, there can be bravery, and even the most flamboyant and irascible hound of the Knights knows how to rub the hem of a person's skirt when the queen visits, like a kitten reincarnated in the body of a vicious dog.

Mogan, of course, has it.

He's a businessman, and to properly please a generous enough boss or partner, he needs to have the right scale of response.

"I saw that your goods were good yesterday, and of course I will come to see them today. Isn't that coincidental? The eggs of the water bugs on your side are of good quality. ”

The corners of his mouth were hooked fifteen degrees, and he made a standard smile, and the emotional color of his expression did not even move when he spoke.

"It's already been bought, you new guy is doing a good job, and you'll sell me a good material after dividing five by two."

Frank on the side stood on end, almost unbelievable that the person in front of him, who had covered up his pretentiousness and hypocrisy to the extreme, was the same person just now and yesterday.

It can be seen that people's bottom line has always been free, and this truth is even more true and certainly true in Mogan.
