Chapter 887: Trade (Part 1)

Soon, the ship drove to the opposite side and kept parallel with it. -==Dream==- But on this ship, no one came, and there was no one on the deck. "Call!" the captain ordered. "We are the Mary, is there anyone?" A sailor shouted to the other party. After shouting three times, there was no one on the deck, and there was no answer. This time, Seaman's'. :f suddenly became uneasy. "Ship...captain, is it a ghost ship!" A sailor was trembling with fear, his teeth chattering. "Nonsense, first mate, take a man to have a look!" the captain roared angrily, ordering.

Reluctantly obeying the order, the first officer jumped on board with two sailors to see what happened.

All the people present looked at the three of them with anxious and fearful eyes, and jumped onto the deck, but no one on board came out to ask.

Because the hawser was broken, the sail swayed with the wind, hitting the mast now and the crosspiece again, making a clattering noise.

The first officer took a few steps forward trembling, and found that the forward cargo hold was open, and the hatch cover was placed on the deck facing the sky. Looking down again, there was a sound of "ah". "What's the matter, what happened?" the captain roared, ordering the boat to go up.

"Captain, it's not a ghost, it's the people inside, all killed." After exclaiming, the first officer calmed down. As long as it's not a mysterious ghost ship, it's not very scary to die some people. "Damn, pull it up, let's go and have a look!" The captain frowned, thought for a while, and ordered.

Now, the two boats are officially close together, and the sailors are very skilled in pulling them up with ropes, getting closer, and boarding the gangplank.

The captain jumped over with his people, and after a look, sure enough, there were corpses everywhere in the boat, and the first officer was checking the corpses.

"How is it?" Chang Chang shouted.

"It probably didn't last more than a day." The first mate shouted from below.

"Check it out." The captain ordered.

"On the ship, the cargo hold here is full of goods!" The first officer walked to a place, saw the warehouse open, looked inside, and said loudly.

"Grub...that's really the case!" The captain had such a keen eye, he ran to take a look, and knew that the cargo on this ship was of great value. "Scribe, take someone to count." "Bosun, take someone to collect all the corpses and put them on the deck." Yes! Both of them agreed. The captain opened the cabin door and walked quickly to the captain's cabin.

It was bright in the captain's cabin, the portholes were inexplicably open, and everything was damp, but the furniture was in order, the hammocks were securely tied up, the clothes were still hanging on the bulkhead, and there were some rolled seaweeds on the table. picture.

The first officer opened the first officer's cabin again,

There the portholes were closed and dry, and everything was in order.

The captain had no time to think about it, so he concentrated on reading the open logbook on the table.

The date on the last page above is yesterday.

According to the logbook, everything is normal.

In the upper drawer of the desk, the first mate saw a jewelry box inlaid with pearls, without the upper berth, containing rings, bracelets, tiaras, pearl necklaces inlaid with precious stones, and many small jewelry. > There is also a small wooden box next to it, and there are some silver coins in it. This shows that the ship was not robbed by robbers.

Check again, in the kitchen cabin, there are pots, spoons, plates, and plates, and there are a lot of food in the storage room: ham, bacon, dried fish, vegetables, flour and a large piece of butter. The inventory is enough for the whole ship to eat for half a year. "Captain, what should we do now?" the first mate asked.

... This ship and its goods are a lot of wealth. Listen, everyone is tight-lipped. We even sail this ship to Yuanfan Port to dispose of the ship and goods. This prophecy is enough for us to make a fortune up. "The captain thought for a while, then ordered.

"Yes, Captain!"

Yuanfan Harbor, Wharf.

"Look, another fleet is coming, ha! Some people are busy today.

"Yeah, I'm really happy. Ever since the route opened, Yuanfan Port has become lively again. The reward we get home this month will definitely make the whole family happy.

"It's not just this month. I heard that these coastal countries have signed a peace agreement with the elves. As long as we work hard here, next year, I can save enough money to marry my wife." "Haha , you boy, I said why are you working so hard, it turns out that you are saving money to marry a wife!" Don't worry, when I marry a wife, I will definitely not forget to invite you to drink! "

At the port wharf, ships are constantly docking, boxes of goods are being moved up and down, and a group of porters are working there while talking and laughing.

They were all physically strong, young and powerful. Although the weight of the boxes was not very light, they looked so light in their hands.

Especially at this time, they had just rested for a long time, and now that they had work to do again, they were naturally in a good mood.

It has been a while since this route was re-opened, and those long-lost merchant ships have returned to Yuanfan Port one after another.

In the past, because of the interruption of this route, some people who were doing business in Yuanfan Port City also went back one after another, but now, with the re-opening of this route, these people have returned here. It seems that not only the Yuanfan Port has become lively again, but also the Yuanfan Port City has become prosperous again. "Hey, look over there, come over there to inspect, isn't it an adult from the city?" At this time, a porter suddenly put down the goods in his hand and whispered to his companions beside him. "What's the matter?" His companion saw the slightly excited expression on his face, so he looked back.

I saw that a carriage came a few hundred meters away from them, and the carriage had already stopped in the open space.

From this car, two officials got off. One looked a little thin, but had a good temperament, and the other was very tall, with a heroic face, and they were all dressed in high-quality clothes.

Under the protection of their guards, they were talking to the person in charge of the pier. Because they were a little far away, no one here could hear what they were saying.

"My lord in the city? Let me see, ah, that one, huh? Isn't that the Lord Farfell? Look, is the one in black over there Lord Farfell? I remember last year's When they came to the port, we have all seen them." The porter said a little excitedly after seeing clearly. "Let me see...it seems, it seems to be Lord Farfell, so the one next to him, could it be Lord Nick? When I first saw the two adults in the legend, these young people are all excited up.

They didn't work at the dock for a long time, and they didn't have the chance to meet higher officials. As Romon's friends and Nick's tycoons, Gufer and Nick naturally had many people's opinions. They are curious.

However, the gap between the common people and the nobles is really big. In addition to the busy work of these two people, it is not easy for ordinary people to meet these two people, let alone see Romon. .

"...Well, you did a good job before, but since this month, more and more merchant ships have called at the port. Safety and security work must be done properly, and there must be no mistakes. Your future The task will be even heavier." Farfell stood in front of the person in charge of the dock and said seriously.

"Yes, yes! Please rest assured, Mr. Farfer. I will pay attention to these problems. The person in charge is older than Farfer, but in this world where status and official position determine identity, Farfer said If it is, it is an order to him, and naturally he can only respond.

"However, please rest assured that I will send another guard team to assist you in your security work. Coupled with the existence of the Mage Tower, there should be no major problems. Small problems will be resolved by you Seeing that the other party was a little nervous, Farfer smiled, softened his tone, and said, "Thank you, Lord Farfer! Seeing that the lord did not embarrass himself, the person in charge said gratefully.

"Okay, Nick, I've finished my business. If you have anything to ask, you can do it." After completing the tasks within his duties, Farfell said to the young man beside him. Yes, it was Nick.

Now, Nick's physical condition is getting better and better. The root cause of the disease left over from his youth has basically been recuperated over the years.

Although you can't engage in any occupation, you can practice some simple routines for strengthening your body every day. He has become a child's father, but he looks much more energetic than when he was young.

Seeing that Jie Feier finished asking about the matter, he smiled and said to the person in charge of the dock: "My business is actually very simple. I just walked over to have a look at the situation at the dock. By the way, take a look at the transaction catalog for this month. "Master Nick, you want to read the transaction diary, why come here in person? You send someone to tell me, and I will send it to you." The person in charge said in fear. "The main reason is that I want to come here today to enjoy the sea breeze. Anyway, it's on the way, so it doesn't matter." Nick said with a smile.

As they got older, Nick and Pfeiffer became more mature in dealing with subordinates. "Then - I'll take you there to see it." Seeing what Nick said, the person in charge said eagerly. "Let's go around the pier first, and then go to see it after reading it." Nick said. "Fafeier, what do you think?" Then he turned around and said to Fafeier. Farfell also wanted to inspect the security work at the pier, so he nodded: "Okay, let's go to 0 bar.

Accompanied by the person in charge, the two walked on the pier soil. Around them, the guards carefully inspected the surrounding situation.

Apart from Romon, these two people are the two most important people to Tetashaw's territory. Especially when Romon is not around, there is no room for any problems with them.

When inspecting Yuanfan Port Wharf, Nick's attention was mainly on those merchant ships, but there were exceptions. "Hey, what is this?" His eyes suddenly fell on an open box.

This is the rule of Yuanfan Port. When there are goods that need to be transported into the city, they need to be checked out of the box. This is to protect the safety of the city. When Nick came here, this box of goods happened to be opened for inspection. "Oh, Mr. Nick, this is a caravan. It has just been transported from another kingdom. I heard that it was ordered by a firm in the city." The person in charge of the dock answered hurriedly. "Exquisite workmanship." Nick bent down, reached out to pick up a small object from the box, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help saying in admiration. "Yeah, this kind of workmanship is really exquisite. It looks a bit like a product of an elf?" Farfell came over and said with a sigh after watching it. "My lords, I really didn't know they were elf products. I'm going to have them all confiscated!" Hearing what the two lords said, the person in charge of the dock hurriedly said.

Nick smiled lightly: "You don't have to be so nervous, that's what I said, who said it is the Genie product-7? I mean, this product is very delicate."

"Besides, even if it's an elf product, it's nothing. The kingdom of Esk has already formed an alliance with the elf kingdom, and the relationship is no longer hostile. Even if there is an influx of elf products, there is no need to be so alarmed." Farfell said on the side. "What your lord said is true, what your lord said is true." Even so, the person in charge of the dock was still nervous. "It's time, is there a lot of products like this?" Nick asked at the same time, putting the small items in his hand back into the box. "The quantity of products is not very large, there should only be these few boxes." The person in charge replied. "Oh, then don't worry about it, let it go." Nick smiled lightly, with a gentle look. Only Faffel, who is familiar with him, can understand how much Nick paid attention to this issue just now.

The elves and the Kingdom of Esk have reached a peace agreement. If it is normal transactions, business, and exchanges, there is no problem.

Judging from the current situation, the elves just want to conduct normal trade with the human kingdom, so there is no need to worry too much. As for what will happen in the future, that is not something they should worry about now. "Okay, let's go." No longer obsessed with this question, Nick and Farfer walked towards the office under the leadership of the young man. When their figures were far away, the porters just took back their own sunlight.

"Wow, it's so majestic. Look, Mr. Nick and Mr. Farfell are not much older than us, but they are so amazing, and we can only carry boxes here. It's really incomparable!" A porter couldn't help saying sighed. "However, we have our difficulties, and they also have theirs. Just do your own thing well. Well, we've got work again, and we're starting work!" another person said. As a result, several porters devoted themselves to their work again, and the port of Yuanfan was full of excitement.
