Chapter 119: If you want to reap, you must pay first
Through the temptation of words, Lu Jing realized from the reaction of Captain Wilder of the Fierce Beast Pirates that the half of the scroll in his hand was indeed related to the ruins of the Ember Era.
Frankly speaking, for such a moment, Lu Jing planned to directly type the code that he had discussed with the crew during the waiting process to break out, especially after seeing that these people were basically injured.
As long as they are killed, not only can they get the remaining half of the scroll, but if nothing else, they can exchange their heads for a large bounty, and if they are lucky, they may be able to detain the ships of the three pirates, and the proceeds add up, they can even go straight to the capital of the Shuoming Dynasty and prepare the shipyard to start.
However, Lu Jing finally chose to cooperate, not because he was soft-hearted, you must know that the hands of these people in front of him can be said to be stained with blood, and Lu Jing will not have the slightest psychological pressure when he moves.
There are two reasons for this.
One is that he is not sure about the opponent's combat strength and whether there are other people in ambush outside, if the battle cannot be ended in a short time, once the people of the Shuye Division arrive, let alone make a lot of money, there will be no room for maneuver between him and these people.
The second is that the words of the blood parrot reminded Lu Jing that compared to himself, these people obviously know more about this scroll, and even have obtained some information about it through other channels in advance, in case there is the key information to unlock the secret of the scroll, doing it now is equivalent to cutting off his own back road.
However, the ruins involved his core card upgrade, and he had to be safe.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Jing offered to participate in their actions.
This half of the reel in your hand is the best bargaining chip.
It's just that when Lu Jing said his thoughts, the development of things was a little unexpected.
Originally, Lu Jing thought that these people in front of him would be dissatisfied with his somewhat robbing request, and then began to condemn or simply shoot the case, and he was ready to show his strength.
However, the voice on his side fell, whether it was the blood parrot or the few people next to her, their faces did show a little anger at first, but the next second they seemed to think of something, and they all fell silent after looking at each other, and even Wild, who was still angry just now, frowned, as if thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
"We need time to discuss, can you please go out first?"
After a short silence, the blood parrot spoke first, Lu Jing had no opinion on this, got up and left the private room, and the two deputies who came out with them, standing at the door to prevent Lu Jing from eavesdropping.
"They don't seem to be anti-fun, which is strange...... But now I'm sure they're pulling the tiger's skin, and the whale and the blood sail are really interested in this scroll, and there's no way we'll get involved. ”
Xu Chu didn't shy away from the two people at the door when he spoke, and he also wanted to get some information from the changes in their expressions.
"The three pirates teamed up, and it still doesn't seem enough to them, and I'm becoming more and more curious about what kind of ruins this scroll is involved in. ”
Under Lu Jing's two or three provocations, they were still willing to consider the former's request to "form a team", which was undoubtedly a sign of lack of confidence in their own strength in Lu Jing's opinion, and the Ember Era relics that could make them so cautious were obviously extraordinary.
Lu Jing and Xu Chu were chatting outside, and the three captains in the private room were also arguing.
"I don't agree, the four of us have been busy for this scroll for half a year, and we are inquiring about news and planning plans, the Reef Pirates are still dealing with the people of Blood Sail, if we bypass them and add those people outside, if they oppose it, how will we end up?"
The first to speak was Zhao Qing, the leader of the Black Flame Pirates, his gaze swept over the other two, and then said,
"I have an idea, and I promise them for the time being, that half of the scroll will be their vote, and when the scroll is in hand, it will return to the boundless sea...... The three of us will join forces to keep them all in the sea to feed the fish!"
That's right, it's not just the three of them who have joined forces, there is actually a pirate group, but they didn't participate in the plan to raid the Governor's Palace.
"Hmph, you also know that the people of the reef are delaying the Blood Sail Pirates, if they know about our discovery, they will definitely interfere, and when the time comes, we don't want to be destroyed, so we can only deal with the people of the giant whales...... Rather than being exploited by those people, I would rather take a gamble, no matter what, they dare to take the initiative to negotiate with us, indicating that they have enough confidence in their own strength, our five pirate groups are really head-on with blood sails, what can they do?
Wilder, who looked the most irritable before, was unusually calm at this time, others didn't know the current situation, but he knew it very well in his heart.
The two pirates of Giant Whale and Bloodsail are paying attention to them, which is true, the problem is that this attention is not well-intentioned, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that there are foreign enemies eyeing them, and they don't want to become tool men, this alliance can't be formed!
"You don't want to be their subordinates, can you guarantee the thoughts of those people outside, if they get involved and know the relationship between us and Xuefan, what if they suddenly turn against the water, when there is this leading party, we will enter the ruins, and we will also make wedding dresses for others!"
"It's as if it's believable to you, and it's only been half a year since we cooperated!"
"You ......"
Neither of these two could convince anyone, and they collided like bulls, and the atmosphere in the private room immediately became dangerous.
"Shut up, we are allies, not enemies, is it time for infighting?"
Even if she injured one arm, the blood parrot's words were still quite intimidating, and as soon as she spoke, the other two immediately stopped arguing and looked at each other, as if to make her make up her mind.
"We need help, that's for sure, you should know the reputation of the Bloodsail Pirates. ”
The blood parrot first set the tone for what he was going to say, and before the other two could speak, he continued,
"However, the details of those people outside the door are unknown, and none of the pirates with five transcendent beings know each other, which is a problem in itself, and they didn't participate in the preliminary preparations at all, and they want to get in with only half of the scroll, so they can't help but look down on themselves......
Don't forget that this scroll alone is not enough to find the ruins, and they also need a tricky item to find them, if they can help us solve this problem, then it means that they are strong enough, so what if they can't do it themselves, then they can't blame us. ”
"Hey~ That's right, I agree with the blood parrot, the place where the bearing is located is too evil, and now someone is rushing to help, it's very suitable, even if they fail, we can learn a lesson from it." ”
As soon as the blood parrot spoke, Wilddang agreed, and squinted at Zhao Qing,
"It's two to one now, do you have anything else you want to say?"
"Lolisa, if this is your will, I don't have any opinion. ”
is different from Wild's name for the blood parrot, but Zhao Qing calls it by his name, and the admiration in his eyes is not concealed in the slightest, but the former does not respond in the slightest.
After the three of them finished communicating, the two sides sat down again.
"We can consider letting you in, but there are two conditions, and you have to show sincerity on that...... With this half of the scroll alone, we can't get you to participate in the plan, it's the fruit of our labor, and you don't want to do anything and just pick peaches, it's not in order. ”
"And what kind of sincerity do you mean?"
The other party's condition was expected by Lu Jing.
"First of all, the scroll in your hand must be handed over to us to bring back, I think you have already opened it, it is written in the Ember Age, it is useless to put it in your hands, I have experts in this area on my ship, and the translation will take time, I hope it will be done as soon as possible. ”
"What about the second condition?"
Lu Jing was not in a hurry to give an answer, and then asked.
"To get into the ruins, we needed a special device, and we spent a lot of money on it for nearly half a year, and now we lack a few key components..... As I said earlier, if you want to join, you must pay the same price as us, and get a key part from the Sea Burial City within two months, saying that the Sea Burial City is very dangerous ahead, otherwise we will not hand this matter over to you. ”
The blood parrot didn't intend to hide it, but chose to talk directly,
"If you agree, I'll tell you the route to Sea Burial City and how to get the parts, and if you can bring it back, then I'll vouch for it in the name of Captain Macaw, and I'll share all the information with you and let you participate in all our plans. ”
"No problem, in two months' time, I will record the contents of this half of the scroll on rubbing paper, divide it into three parts, send you one every month, and the last one will be handed to you when I meet with you. ”
Lu Jing didn't seem to hear the first condition, but he just responded to the second condition that the blood parrot said, and added his own conditions by the way.
"What if you don't find the part after two months?"
The blood parrot also knew in his heart that the first condition was difficult for Lu Jing to accept, it was just a "sky-high asking price", Lu Jing had already set his own conditions, and it was also within their acceptable range, so naturally he didn't say more.
"10 gold leaves, you take the scroll, I will never mix it. ”
Compared to the family background of these pirates, 10 gold leaves are actually not much different from giving them away for nothing.
"Yes, I'll send someone to deliver the materials later, and we'll leave here in three days, so you'll have to copy the first copy before then. ”
Negotiations between pirates rarely talk about the consequences of dishonesty.
It's not that everyone is trustworthy, but all pirates know very well that for them as outlaws, this kind of verbal contract is both the least effective and the most effective.
It is said that it is not effective because it can be reversed anytime and anywhere, and these pirates will not have any psychological burden.
It is said to be most effective because both parties know one thing very well, and that is that once the contractual relationship breaks down, there will be a never-ending battle to the death, and there will be no room for negotiation!
