Byron continued to press on the profiteers.

"Mr. Michael, don't say that you misidentified a valuable gemstone, you can't even tell the difference between a knife and a sword?

I really have to doubt the professionalism of you and the Palme d'Or Trading Company! ”

In general, the East considers a single-edged sword and a symmetrical double-edged sword, but the Western definition is not like this.

Different from most people's cognition, their definition of knife and sword is not to look at the single and double blades, but to look at the way the handle is connected.

The sword strip is slammed into the round wooden handle, and the tail is riveted with a counterweight ball, so that it can be called: sword.

The handle of the sword, which is forged in one piece, is clamped with a wooden board and riveted, and this weapon is called: knife.

Although Fisher's sword bar is indeed asymmetrical, it is only a one-sided blade.

But it was still slammed into the hilt of the sword, and then fixed with a counterweight ball, which was obviously a very standard sword!

Hearing this, the profiteer's face first stiffened, then the muscles on his cheeks jumped again, and after a few breaths, he finally retreated completely in the eye with Byron.

took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat stains on the corners of his forehead, and had to admit:

"Maybe it's me... Wrong, right, wrong.

Today's sun is too harsh. ”

In fact, as a first-order attendant-level [Golden Eye] of the Golden Yuan Sequence, he was stronger than the [Craftsman] profession in the field of jewelry and luxury goods appraisal, how could he be mistaken?

It is both intentional and deliberate.

After being exposed by Byron, he couldn't help but secretly complain:

'It's unfortunate that this shipment looks like it comes from a typical Hattings aristocratic family, and eighty percent of them are Lancasters who fled the Battle of the Red and White Roses.

How could these illiterate pirates know so much about the aristocratic collections?

I'm at least 3,000 percent in profit! ’

The thought of his loss made Michal's heart ache.

"Pits" are the unspoken rules of black market merchants, and how much you can pit in a transaction is all your own ability.

Just like going to the "antique" market to pick up leaks, buyers and sellers know that nine out of ten of these items are fakes.

But as the convention goes, even if you buy it back and find out that it is a fake, you will only give yourself a slap in the face: "Phew, this time Lao Tzu is eye-catching again." ”

But if you meet an expert, someone will expose it on the spot, and then review it one by one, then you will really smash the signboard.

The rules of the gray area are also the rules.

In the land of Iron Anchor Bay, he was not afraid of the pirates being arrogant and unreasonable, but he was afraid that Byron's reasoning according to the rules was justified, so he decisively changed his attitude.

Seeing the performance of the black marketeers, the first mate Miles and a group of pirates still don't know, Byron must be right.

"Profiteers!"

"Do you know how hard it is for us to keep this shipment?"

"Damn it, you dare to rob us pirates!"

When dealing with black market merchants, their ideal outcome is to be cut in half.

When they started trading, they vaguely felt as if they had been cut to the neck.

I didn't expect that I was actually cut off on the soles of my feet, or even the floor!

Byron just waved his hand casually.

Including the first mate Miles, a group of pirates whose eyes were red and panting like cattle immediately died down and leaned back slightly.

Even though Byron did not have the position of deputy captain, the prestige of the Man-Shark was already only below [Bloody Eye] Salman.

The eyes of the young people in the small group were full of fanaticism.

Now the only obstacle to his ascension to the throne seems to be the only thing left in strength.

With Fisher's sword and jewel necklace finished, Byron walked over to the pile of goods and glanced at the dozens of bottles of rum on display.

Just moved his nose slightly, and then continued firmly:

"This batch is coppery yellow with subtle hints of citrus, spice and wood.

The finish is persistently dry and has rich aromas of orange peel, vanilla, nutmeg, hot coffee and cocoa.

This is Appleton dry rum from Appleton Estate that has been matured in oak barrels for at least twelve years.

I remember last year's auction in the royal capital, there was a bottle of Silver Age 1451 Appleton Collector's Edition, which once sold for a whopping 124 pounds.

The taste of this batch of wine is actually not very different from 1451, and it is enough to deceive the unjust head of the layman.

Going to a fancy restaurant, it's absolutely no problem to sell a bottle for £2. ”

"And then there's this ivory-inlaid pearl vanity box..."

Every time Byron said a word, the black marketeer's face became ugly, but he was reluctant to turn around and leave.

It is true that you can make less money when you meet connoisseurs, but it is much better than not making money and smashing brands.

You may make a small profit, but I will never lose.

Soon, all the goods were registered, and the money and goods were both paid and received.

The profiteer Michael took a deep look at Byron and hurried away with a loot of shrinking profits.

When I heard Byron's warm greeting of "next time we will work together" halfway, I almost stepped on the air and fell into the sea.

As if they had won the battle, the pirates cheered loudly for the excellent performance of their storekeepers.

If you ask those sailors and pirates who roam the sea all day long, what is the most fearful?

One is that the money is still there, and the people are gone! The other is that people are alive and the money is gone!

Strong power can conquer some people, professional knowledge can conquer some people, and life-saving kindness can also conquer some people.

But the golden coins can conquer everyone.

If you can't conquer it, it must be that you don't have enough money.

"Huh? What prisoners who were on board for less than ten days? What arrogant newcomer? That's our dearest angel of fortune. ”

Only the first mate Miles, who escaped the fate of being "missing", had mixed feelings in his heart.

'Aren't you a deacon in the service of the great nobles?' Why can a halfway monk become a pirate, but he can be so comfortable?

Ships, navigation, swordsmanship, treasure identification... It's no more than a pirate from the time of nursing.

Yes, it must not be how good your identification skills are.

It's because these things are originally from the Lancastrian Lord Crawford, you know that the situation of the lord's family is normal.

It must be so! ’

If Byron had heard the voice of his first mate, Miles, he would have laughed at him for being too young.

If the pirate sequence motto "force is better than hard work" is placed on the heads of the noble lords, there is no sense of disobedience.

In fact, all the good things and scarce resources in the world are snatched by all kinds of violent and non-violent means.

Only the ruled weak will wait for the secondary distribution, and by the way, pray to the ruler to give a relatively fair distribution system.

The difference is only to rob in the name of the individual, or in the name of the state.

This world has never been warm, and no matter how much it is whitewashed with the so-called civilization, it cannot change this naked fact.

And those pirates who have drunk the Blood of Transmutation don't care whether they worship him or hate him.

These future "secondary ghouls" will never be won over again under any circumstances, and they belong to the same targets that need to be eliminated as Salman.

In addition to implementing the family style of being diligent and thrifty, Byron actually has another more important purpose.

Soon, he also sorted out a copy of the ship's accounts, holding up a piece of paper and shaking it at the crew.

With a sad face, he told them the bad news:

"I have to regret to tell you that we lost too much cargo in order to avoid the pursuit of the cruiser [Stern].

Although the cost of repairing the [Maneater] is barely enough, but!

The next pension for you is really not enough.

The shortfall is about £1,300. ”

[Precept 8: A person who is crippled in battle may remain on board without work and receive 40 gold pounds from the public savings].

There are still more than fifty people who survived, but that doesn't mean they are unscathed.

According to the Ten Commandments of Pirates, all disabled people can receive a portion of the pension, and those who have family members can also have their families receive their share.

Thereupon.

As Bloody Eye walked out of the captain's quarters, he ran headlong into the hot stares of the crew.

The pirates all remember that their captain had taken a lot of small jewels from the spoils of the Pelican in the first place.

Combined with what had just happened, they realized that those things could be worth a lot of money if they were in the hands of the great "Angels of Fortune".

There is no doubt about the attitude now: Captain, hit the money!

At this moment, a gaze that fell on Salman's hands, mixed with dozens of equally fiery gazes, seemed inconspicuous at all.

On the slender little finger of his right hand, he was wearing a gold ring that looked ordinary except for the large one.

And that was Byron's real purpose.

- The Storm Ring, which symbolizes the position of the head of the Storm Knights and the inheritance of the royal power of the Lancaster family!
