Chapter 49: Special Interviews
Three days flew by.
In fact, during those three days, Townsend spent only a handful of time in Port Tetuga, and most of the time, he preferred to stay aboard the Dreadnought.
No one can know that this disorderly and chaotic place has a much greater impact on Townsend than others, even Tom does not feel as much as Townes, after all, although Port Royal maintains the laws of England, it is much worse than the modern era in which Townsend lives.
It's just that in order to maintain his personality, Tang Sen tried his best not to show any clues.
In the minds of most of the fleet, including Jack Sparrow, Townsend is a strategic and mysterious character, but Townsend is self-aware.
He is definitely not too smart, not to mention compared with those famous smart people in history, even compared to Jack Sparrow, he is far behind, otherwise, he would not have just taken an ordinary exam, not even 211, and he couldn't afford to buy a house in the near future.
To be able to get to this point depends on the familiarity with all kinds of hidden information in this world, the golden finger of unlimited money, and the plan that I have thought hard about in the early stage.
Even so, the plan didn't go smoothly, as Jack Sparrow's compass didn't expect.
In the eyes of others, Townsend was in high spirits, and only Townsend himself knew that every late night, he reviewed every detail of the plan in his mind countless times, and calculated the response to any unexpected that might occur.
On the day of sailing, there was a long queue of pirates on the docks.
They were all those who had passed the test in the past three days, and to be honest, there were more skilled pirates than Townsend had imagined, perhaps because of the lure of heavy money, and even many captains and first mates of pirate ships were involved.
There were more than 300 people who defeated a member of the Undead Legion, and the number of those who defeated two was sharply reduced to more than ten, and only two were able to defeat three with one against three.
In the past three days, they have spent a lot of money in Tetuga, which has made the price of Tetuga rise a lot for a while, obviously, the pirates do not mind, in their opinion, they have hundreds of pounds on them, and the same money every month in the future, what does it matter if a bottle of rum is sold for one shilling or two shillings?
"Scumbags, line up honestly! Don't let me see anyone who dares to cut in line or run around! Tom stood at the front of the dock, shouting at the top of his voice.
All the pirates who passed the test were managed by him, and Tom was naturally quite a deterrent in front of them, and although the pirates were not used to such a regular thing as queuing, they still stood there honestly and slowly boarded the ship with the flow of people.
At this moment, in the cabin, Townsend was standing in front of a table, examining the nervous pirate in front of him.
"Name."
"Thomas, Thomas Notting, Mr. Don." The pirate pondered the words.
Everyone in Tetuga knew that the Oriental in front of him hated impolite people, and it was rumored that anyone who was rude in front of him would be killed outright.
Thomas had no doubts about the veracity of this rumor, because at this moment, he was surrounded by a group of people, the muzzle of the flintlock pistol in their hands never left his head, and it was obvious that if he was the slightest disrespectful, he would turn into a corpse in the next second.
Townsend took out a strip of cloth with Thomas' name written on it, and then pointed to the stone box on the table.
"Take a gold coin out of it, Mr. Thomas." "Be careful, you can only take one," he stressed. ”
"Well... Good. Thomas glanced nervously inside the stone box, and there was also half a box of gold coins, which looked like one of those pirate coins, much thicker than the gold kini coins.
"I didn't expect that there would be a meeting gift on the ship, and this Mr. Tang is really generous as always."
He felt a little happy in his heart, and raised his hand to take out a gold coin.
The moment the gold coin left the stone box, he suddenly felt as if he had lost something.
He wanted to confirm something, but Townsend had already spoken:
"Alright, give me the gold."
Confused, Thomas handed over the gold coin, and saw that Mr. Tang had wrapped it in the strip of cloth on which his name had been written on it, and placed it in another box next to him.
Inside the box, there were already a lot of gold coins wrapped in strips of cloth.
"Welcome to the Legion of the Undead, Mr. Thomas." At this time, Tang Sen waved his hand: "You can leave, and Mr. Newgate will explain the specific situation to you." ”
"Next!"
"Just... That's it? Thomas didn't understand what the hell this Mr. Don was doing, but that didn't stop him from turning around and leaving under the pressure of many guns.
"It's weird, I always feel that I don't feel hot all of a sudden."
He muttered, "Didn't you wake up from last night's wine?" ”
......
"Name."
"Ulysses, people used to call me Rusty Yuli."
Townsend raised an eyebrow and looked at the rusty Yuli, who looked particularly fierce with one eye and one eye, his left hand replaced by an iron hook.
"I know you." Tang Sen said: "There are only two people who have defeated my three followers, and you are one of them, right?" ”
"That's right, Mr. Tang." Yuri looked like a typical arrogant pirate, but he had to bow his head in the face of Townsen: "I have a pirate ship called Bloody Hooklock. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, I bought the ship." Townsend said nonchalantly.
In addition to recruiting manpower in the past three days, Townsend naturally did other things, such as buying a few pirate ships and armed merchant ships.
"Of course, it was my slip of the tongue, Mr. Tang was very generous, and the Bloody Hook Lock is now yours." Yuri said hurriedly.
Townsend didn't have time to make small talk with him, and said formulaically, "Take a gold coin out of the box, Mr. Yuri." ”
“aye。” Yuri glanced inside the stone box and was stunned for a moment: "Pirate gold coins?" No... No, this seems to be Aztec gold? ”
"I remember for ten years the Black Pearl was making waves on the seas for the Aztec coin, which was rumored to have a desperate curse on it."
His face turned ugly, and he squinted at Tang Sen: "Mr. Tang, what does this mean?" ”
Townsend stared at him without changing his face.
It's not surprising that the Aztec gold coin is recognized, or rather, it's not surprising that no one knows the huge Tetuga, the place where pirates gather, after all, the Black Pearl got the Aztec gold coin and spent it in Tetuga.
Apparently Captain Yuri had lived through the events of the day.
"Has anyone ever reminded you that I don't like to say my words a second time."
With Town's words, the entire cabin began to tense, and the soldiers of the loyal undead legion had their fingers on the trigger of the flintlock pistol.
Their meaning here is for the sake of this moment.
