Chapter 11: The Chicken That Lays the Golden Eggs
1510 in the Haiyuan calendar, May 1.
The spring is bright and the sea breeze is long, but there is a fierce artillery battle on the turquoise sea of the East China Sea.
Two ships are shelling each other with artillery at close range, one flying the pirate skull flag and the other flying the navy's seagull flag.
Rumble! Rumble! Boom!
The sound of the cannon was terrifying, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the black round shells were constantly speeding on the sea level, attacking each other, splashing the waves, and from time to time there was a burst of explosion.
A chained bullet was fired by the navy and wrapped around the pirate ship's mainmast with strong winds, causing the sails to fail and the pirate ship to stop moving.
"Close combat, knife wielding"!
"Attack!"
The naval battleship rushed straight into the side of the pirate ship, and there was a loud bang, and the hull of the ship was not yet stable, and the planks smashed into the opposite pirate ship, and the naval soldiers launched a frantic attack along the planks.
Dusty took the lead in killing the pirate ship, fighting with the enemy, holding the demon knife that had just arrived, feeling the combat power doubled, almost unstoppable.
In the dark, as long as she held this knife, she felt the blood boiling all over her body, and the fighting spirit was endless, and the more she fought, the more courageous she became, as if this demon knife prompted her to thirst for blood and slash and kill the enemy.
Before she knew it, she had come to the pirate captain, a middle-aged man with a heavy sword, with a very fierce face, stained with the blood of naval soldiers, and wielding a heavy sword with one hand.
"Damn the Navy!"
"I'm fighting with you today!"
The pirate captain was red-eyed, roared, and swung his heavy sword to attack, and the killing intent was decisive.
"Draw your sword and slash!"
Seeing this, Dusty immediately withdrew his sword, and suddenly drew his sword, and after a single sword, the pirate captain who was comparable to a giant bear raised his heavy sword and remained motionless.
Thump!
The bear-like body was misaligned, blood splattered on the spot, and then fell to the ground with a bang.
Dusty's sword slash slashed the pirate captain in two.
"Victory! The pirate captain is dead! ”
"Sergeant Dusty is wonderful."
"We've won!"
The navy soldiers shouted wildly, and the pirates who resisted around saw this, and they could only restrain themselves.
Dusty breathed a sigh of relief as a hand tapped her on the shoulder.
When he turned around, he saw a tall man with silver hair and a cigar in his mouth looking at him coldly, looking at the rank on his shoulder, the other party should be a colonel.
"I'm Major Smoker stationed in Rogue Town."
"Good job, your knife is good, it should be a demon knife...... Is your name Dusty? ”
Smoker asked, looking at Dusty.
Dusty nodded, and immediately saluted: "Report Major Smoker, I'm Sergeant Dusty." ”
Smoker said bluntly: "The Heavy Sword Pirates are one of the most active pirates in the vicinity, after this battle, the pirates near Orange Town should be a lot more honest, and your performance is very good......"
"Having said so much, I am very optimistic about you, so mix with me in the future."
"What?"
Dusty looked at the other in surprise, his face flushed.
。
The next day, the news that the Heavy Sword Pirates had been wiped out by the navy spread throughout Orange Town.
This has lifted all the residents of Orange Town.
During this time, Orange Town was miserable by those pirates who were running around, and everyone was scared, and some people even chose to move out of Orange Town, for fear of being robbed by pirates.
This heavy sword pirate group is extremely vicious and has done a lot of evil things, and now it is really happy to be killed, and the originally tense town of Orange has once again returned to its former peace and prosperity.
Everyone should visit the door, eat and drink, don't put anything in your heart, life is just a few decades, laughing is also over, crying is also over, just be comfortable.
The crisis in Orange Town has passed for the time being, but rumors of treasure are still circulating, and a storm is brewing in the East China Sea.
Martin's life has also returned to calm, and he continues to live lovingly with his wife, in addition to forging knives every day, he is developing new ways to play, and he does not go out of the door, and he does not step out of the second door.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Kim's carriage arrived in front of Martin's gate on time.
Ten days ago, Kim would come every week to collect the knife, and he was never late on time.
"Mr. Martin, how many knives have been out lately?"
Kim smiled when he saw Martin and immediately stepped forward to ask the other party.
"Three."
Martin handed over the bag containing the knives: "One fine knife, two sharp knives." ”
When Kim heard this, he smiled even brighter: "Yes, Mr. Martin after all." ”
"The old rule, 200,000 Baileys for a quick knife, 350,000 Baileys for high-quality fast knives, a total of 750,000 Baileys, please take it."
Kim took the knife, a smile on his lips that could not be finished, and his eyes sparkled.
Fast knife forging is actually not very difficult, as long as it is a qualified intermediate knife smith can be forged, but for intermediate knife smiths, the production and success rate are not very stable, and there are very few stable forging boutique knife makers.
Boutique knives can only be seen by poor swordsmen who have money to spend, and they will not spend money to buy them.
But for swordsmen who have some spare money, high-quality fast knives are very eye-catching, and they are very attractive to young and rich swordsmen.
Basically, Martin's sword quality is widely acclaimed, and it sells very well, and many people are looking for him to buy this kind of fast knife, including not only naval soldiers, but also some pirates of unknown origin, which can be said to be in short supply.
As a businessman, Kim sensed business opportunities and became Martin's sword agent in order to open up new avenues of wealth.
Who called the entire town of oranges, including the swordsmiths of several other towns to forge the quality of swords, none of them can fight.
All in all, the fast knives forged by Martin are in short supply in the East China Sea today!
As long as Martin's production can keep up, he can earn more than 200,000 Baileys a day, which is faster than selling other goods to make money.
Unlike other swordsmiths, Martin's production is very stable and the quality of his forging is also stable, so he has a partnership with Martin and comes every week to pick up his knives.
Kim now hopes that this cutler will forge a few more knives a day, and that he will be able to make more money as an agent.
Looking at Martin now, Kim always feels that the other party is shining and has a bright future.
It is estimated that in the future, this swordsmith should be able to forge a good fast knife grade treasure knife, and the future is limitless.
It's like a chicken that lays golden eggs!
After the transaction was completed, Martin turned to ask, "Kim, has there been any results from the recent matter about the treasure?" ”
Kim looked embarrassed and sighed slightly: "Martin, there is something I must remind you, the rumors about that treasure have become more and more excessive recently, and some people even say that the treasure is on an island not far from Orange Town. ”
"That's right...... That treasure is called the treasure of Unan. ”
Martin raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Unan's treasure? ”
Yes, the Unans are called the "gold thief", but he only robs the bad guys, and he owns about one-third of the world's gold, with a bounty of 60 million berry. ”
"Legend has it that his treasure is on an island of gold."
"I also got a message, it's good that you don't go out at night in the past few days, the Navy has transferred a Major Smoker to exterminate the pirates, I heard that there seem to be pirates hidden in our town, and there may be danger."
Martin nodded.
Even the cigarette man Smoker Smoker came to this remote town, which shows that the situation near Orange Town is a bit complicated.
It is estimated that there will be a conflict between the navy and the pirates.
It's just that the treasure of Unan is fake, and the gold thief Unan has already returned the gold to the owner.
I can't imagine that someone would talk about Unan's treasure and deliberately release this false treasure information.
It smells of conspiracy.
No matter who is behind the scenes, it is estimated that the East China Sea will continue to be chaotic for a while.
But don't worry about it, because it won't be long before Senbon Sakura will have the state of the first solution, and then her combat power will explode.
He picked up Senbon Sakura and looked at it.
