62. Sandwich Islands
Two pirate ships rode the wind and waves, sailing southwest, loaded with all kinds of items, including gold and silver jewelry, magic materials, and some cloth woven by the elves, as well as spider silk cloth, and spent a few days on Hope Island, Ge Ling came to the top of the head, and the two pirate ships made a deal with the elves, trading with the elves with some of the things of the underwater city and the spider silk cloth.
The pirates were dazzled by the elves, and they were all salivating, but under the supervision of Wang Qinian and several other mages, they did not do anything, and the elves were very satisfied, especially for those spices and pearls on the bottom of the sea, with the special products of the elves, and even the elven bows in exchange, in general, Wang Qinian was also relatively satisfied.
The two ships are now ships of fortune, and they are rare commodities except for gold and silver treasures, which Bister estimates are worth more than gold.
With these two ships, the pirates had no intention of robbing any more, nor did they look down on the tattered pirate ships, and when they passed some of the pirate ships, they raised the skull flag to identify themselves, but they were not interested in moving other ships.
On the way, he also passed through some small islands, Wang Qinian went up with interest every time to investigate, in remote places, there are a lot of monsters, Wang Qinian used magic planting to plant his pirate hands one by one, his men are now pirates on the surface, but in fact they have undergone qualitative changes.
After a month's voyage, a large island appeared ahead of them, and there were some islands next to it, and they arrived at the Sanwich Islands, the first time in months that they had seen an island with a town. The Sandwich Islands were discovered by the explorer Sandwich two centuries ago, when there were some natives on the island, and later because of the pirates and many people who could not survive to this island, the island developed, the largest island is slightly olive-shaped, nearly 300 miles long, is a large island, become a bridge between the two continents of merchant ships.
There were no rulers on the island, and although Hippan, Norma, Siren, and Naples all tried to do so, they did not last long. An agreement was finally reached. It became a free trade port, the port was very prosperous, and Wang Qinian's two ships dropped anchor near the port.
"Do you want to dispose of something on the island. Dawena asked.
"I don't think I can sell anything at sea. So be it. Dispose of some things like the Spider Silk Cloth and the Elven Cloth. Leaving only a few of our own, this thing is estimated to sell for a high price, and you go to find customers. If the price is not more than 10 times that of our purchase, don't rush to sell. Wang Qinian thought for a while and said.
He nodded, summoned some of the pirates, and went ashore with the samples. Wang Qinian ordered to go down, and a third of the men were left on the ship, and the others also went ashore, and after drifting on the sea for many days, the pirates had money, and after they went ashore, they scattered in a hurry, each to find their own fun, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, what they did, Wang Qinian did not care.
Wang Qinian didn't need anyone to accompany him, he also went ashore, he only brought Tom with him, Tom was only fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in magic, and Wang Qinian was also wearing a magic robe.
"Waiter, is there a clean place. Wang Qinian walked into a restaurant, walked for a long time, although he was not tired, but Tom couldn't bear it, Wang Qinian walked into the restaurant.
"Yes, dear sir, there is a quiet place on our second floor. The waitress said, and welcomed them upstairs, sat down by the window, took the menu, Wang Qinian casually ordered a few local specialties, and did not order the things in the sea, but the things on the shore: milk carrots, blue-ribbon chicken steak with vegetable salad, asparagus black pepper veal steak and honey roast wings, ordered red wine to accompany the meal, and saw Tom stunned on the side.
Wang Qinian smiled and said, "What are you stunned about, don't you want to eat it?"
Tom blushed and said, "These are a lot of things, they're too expensive." ”
Wang Qinian laughed: "You still treat you as a small follower, don't worry, it won't cost a few dollars, just the money you have now, eat these things every day, it's enough for you to eat for a lifetime." ”
This sentence stunned Tom Shuo: "Do I have so much money?" Poor baby, he didn't even know how much money he had, no wonder he was stunned.
They were talking here, and a person next to them heard it, his eyes flashed, and he didn't speak, but lowered his head and just ate his own food, and Wang Qinian didn't notice it.
After eating, Wang Qinian went downstairs to check out, not noticing that the person next to him had already seen this qiē in his eyes, and followed quietly.
Wang Qinian purely went ashore to breathe, he was also mentally tired after being on the boat for a long time, and after walking for a while, he frowned, he had already found that there was a person following him, and then looking at Tom, he was still curious to look at the goods on the side of the road, how young was he, and he didn't find anyone following them.
Wang Qinian was very curious, how did he follow him, looking at his appearance, well-dressed, it was definitely the first time they met, what was the purpose.
Wang Qinian turned into a small alley, he followed to the alley, hesitating whether to enter the alley, but Wang Qinian appeared behind him: "Your Excellency, what are you doing with us?"
When he turned around, he was startled: "I... I didn't follow you, why did you show up behind me?"
Wang Qinian sneered: "You didn't follow us, you followed us from the restaurant, and you said that you didn't follow us, tell me, do you fancy our money, or do you have other purposes?"
His face immediately changed greatly, he turned around and ran into the alley, as soon as he ran, Wang Qinian shook his head and did not chase it, it is estimated that he took a fancy to their money, in the restaurant, the information revealed in Wang Qinian's tone made him tempted.
Tom watched him run away dumbfounded, and suddenly said, "Teacher, I'm afraid he doesn't just think about our money. ”
"I know, but we don't know anything about this place, and as long as he doesn't come to mess with us, we'll only be here for a few days to recuperate, and then we'll be gone, and whatever their plot is, it's all their business. Wang Qinian said.
Wang Qinian didn't expect that he would let go of a big fish casually. Wang Qinian and Tom returned to the ship, most of them did not come back, it is estimated that they spent the night outside, even Demps and Bister, Wang Qinian did not take it seriously, anyway, they will all come back tomorrow, no matter what they eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, pirates can't expect them to be like an army, then again, the army of this world is also such a virtue, robbery and lewdness are also common.
However, what caught Wang Qinian's attention was that some people were very strange on the dock. Wang Qinian saw that there were several people, but Dai Weiner and several people had returned, and they had already negotiated with a trading house in Norma, and a batch of goods were delivered, mainly elf cloth and spider silk cloth, and the price was even higher than Wang Qinian's expectation, reaching more than fifteen times the purchase price.
From here, it can be seen how popular the elves' products are, such a high price, they are still profitable, all more than the silk of the East, but they can't afford to eat such a large goods, only half of the goods.
Wang Qinian thought that if the elves were engaged in this industry, the profits would be very large, but the characteristics of the elves were that they could not engage in this industry, which also made the elves' products in a high-end state, and the general aristocracy was proud of owning the elves' artworks.
The pirates were smiling, and some of the pirates on the ship even privately said that they knew that the profits were so rich, so they simply stopped being pirates and simply became merchants.
Wang Qinian smiled at this, he knew that in the absence of international conventions at sea today, it is safer for pirates, if a merchant encounters pirates, there is no reason to talk about it, a better pirate can still save your life, a little pirate, I am afraid that there are no bones, in a word, maritime trade is a high-risk industry in this historical period, unless there is a strong force behind it, just like a trading house that eats their goods.
Dai Weina led the people of the trading house, got on the boat, and after giving a salute to Wang Qinian, the people of the trading house inspected the goods, and were very satisfied, and then loaded the goods into the carriage, and someone sent a few boxes of gold coins, Dai Weina inspected the goods, and Wang Qinian said hello, and also went ashore, although the people of the trading house invited Wang Qinian to attend the dinner, Wang Qinian did not go.
Night fell, Wang Qinian was doing real work on the boat, Tom started, they were dissecting the corpse of the monster obtained on the road, Wang Qinian was recording in the notebook, while instructing Tom how to dissect, recording the demon pattern on the surface of the monster and the inside, while recording and explaining, Tom also listened carefully, he knew that this was a rare opportunity, some of the magic patterns Wang Qinian had to identify for a while, combined with the talent embodied in this kind of magic beast at the time, before the deformed magic pattern was recognized, but he has not yet encountered a new magic pattern, which is basically a combination of some basic magic patterns。
At this time, the underwater warning instrument sounded, Wang Qinian casually took a little instrument, the halo immediately appeared, the projection showed the situation around the bottom of the boat, Wang Qinian saw two black figures, wearing tight water support, diving from the bottom of the sea, clinging to the boat to expose the water, vigilantly looking around, seeing that no one noticed on all sides, like a big octopus, climbed onto the Devil Artego.
Wang Qinian took a closer look, and saw that no one was on the Red Devil Challenger, so he stopped and said to Tom: "You are here, monitoring the surroundings, I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived, I was targeted, I'll go and take a look." With that, the figure flashed and disappeared into the cabin.
Mike and Lynn are members of the island gang mafia, the mafia originally originated in Tessie's Noma, but the mafia here is a branch of Tessie's mafia, not a branch at all, it is a small leader of the Noma mafia who offended the godfather of the mafia, fled overseas, and developed here.
Yiqiē followed the mafia, and after decades of development, he has become the leading local gang organization, and his influence has penetrated into all aspects.
Mike and Lynn came here because the informant had reported that there were two warships here, and they were very rich, so they came to explore the way. (To be continued......)
