Chapter 58: Captain Ames' Ambition
The newcomer Carpenter said he had no objection and had nothing to do with him and he would continue to study the alloy formula with the dwarf. It seemed that his interest was not lower than that of the dwarf.
"Do you know! Traditional materials science and the magical matter here are simply a new discipline! Countless new materials are waiting for me to study and synthesize! I will definitely be famous here in history!" The black guy left with a fanatical look on his face.
But he forgot that the game has been on the Earth for many years, and hopes that he can make more new discoveries than his peers.
However, when it comes to Shadow Assassin, Xu Yichen wondered why it has been three days since the news has been released. Could it be that someone has been caught?
Recently, the lord has been on guard very seriously, because the original city guards were killed and injured, and many of them were seconded to support the paladins from the major temples.
According to the Demon Hunter Gangze, a whole paladin regiment is about to arrive at the port. It was originally going to suppress the possible chaos infection incident in the city. Now that the problem has been solved, it has been changed to rest outside Anthony Harbor City, and then directly drive into the Black Forest to solve the open chaos gate.
This is the tacit understanding reached between Antoine and the church representatives. Major churches can establish temples in the city, and Anthony Port is responsible for the logistics of the Paladin during the war.
In exchange for the church's support to become the lord of Anthony Harbor, and the Paladins would not enter the city, but would be repaired in an old castle 30 kilometers outside the city.
"The old castle 30 kilometers outside the city sounds very familiar. Madan, it's not my territory, right?" Xu Yichen thought for a guilty moment: "It's not that coincidental, right?"
In the evening, Captain Emus Rockefell found out from somewhere that Xu Yichen was now living in the Thunder Hammer Blacksmith shop, so he came to visit Xu Yichen.
The two chatted for a while and asked about Sildo's recent situation. After learning that Sildo is currently looking for a place in the city to learn basic knowledge, Captain Emus told him what he wanted.
"Mr. Antoine sent someone to ask me about you a few days ago. I thought you were in trouble, so I only said that you had saved us. I was worried that my sailors would reveal any secrets about you. Before I found their traces, I heard that you were rewarded by the lord. I was relieved." The old captain sat on the chair and drank the hot tea handed to him by Xu Yichen. This was a good thing I had bought from the dwarf.
"Today, Antoine sent someone to me again, saying that the lord was willing to fund a boat, and asked me if I would be the captain. I know that the lord would not be attentive to me. It must be because of your reasons, so I found you and wanted to see what you mean." Captain Emus narrowed his eyes and took a sip of the hot tea in the cup. As an experienced captain, he acted very cautiously at this time.
Xu Yichen also had to admire the fat man Antoine. Although he was not a good person no matter how he said it, he did everything in these things without any loss. As long as it was profitable, he would be your best friend.
After touching his arms [Li Oumeng's Secret Treasure Box], Xu Yichen had a bold idea: "Captain, why not sponsor you, come and be the captain for me?"
The sudden invitation made Captain Emus think he had heard it wrong: "You mean, do you have a ship too?"
"Not yet, but I plan to buy a ship. I'm sure my money is enough to buy the ship in Antoine." Xu Yichen looked at the old captain with a smile, but was thinking in his heart how to make Antoine believe that his money had nothing to do with his stolen secret room.
The old captain couldn't help but look at the Seris again. Although he knew that the young man in front of him was an extraordinary person, he really didn't expect that in just a few days, this young man would accumulate such a huge amount of wealth.
Thinking of the thrilling experiences in the wild for the past few days and the young man's words and demeanor, Captain Emus stood up and meticulously sorted out his clothes. He bowed slightly like Xu Yichen and said, "I am honored to gain your trust. I am very willing to be your captain."
Soon, the two of them finalized the details of this matter. Xu Yichen would pay all the cost of purchasing the ship and the cost of purchasing the first batch of goods, and the old captain would serve as the executor and be fully responsible for the matters related to buying the ship and purchasing goods.
The only request of the old captain was to select sailors and other entourages on the ship, and Xu Yichen agreed. The only place where the dispute between the two sides was that Xu Yichen hoped to share the profit with the old captain in half, but Captain Emus insisted on only receiving 20% of the income as before.
"In fact, I don't recommend you to buy Antoine's ship." Captain Emus immediately entered the role after accepting the appointment: "As the acting lord of a colonial city, although he is a very enlightened business lord, Antoine is just a novice in the shipping industry. In fact, the situation of the ship in his hands is very worrying."
Captain Emus whispered the words after leaving. Even though he was in Xu Yichen's room, he still seemed to be afraid of being heard by others.
"Oh? Then do you have any good suggestions?" Xu Yichen knew that the old captain was not a targetless person, and he did not need to go through Antoine transactions, which saved him a lot of trouble.
This large amount of capital turnover is still used to purchase the assets of the parties involved, and the investor is still the only person who has been in and out of his treasure house recently. In the future, it will be difficult for Antoine not to associate himself with the case of theft of the treasure house.
"This oriental drink is indeed magical. I can feel it warming my stomach." Captain Emus savored the tea in the cup carefully: "Now there is a good opportunity to buy a good ship! It is a four-masted Garen ship, Kingfisher, a good ship! It's a bit expensive, but it's very worth it!"
Looking at the old captain who was dancing with joy, Xu Yichen felt that he might have been aiming at the ship for more than a day: "Tell me carefully about this ship, why would anyone take action on such a good boat?"
Captain Emus calmed down his mood: "That's right. A few days ago, there were several disappearance cases in the port area, which caused a lot of controversy, including the owner and captain of the ship. It is said that they were randomly checking goods in a warehouse in the port area at that time. They also disappeared with the owner's eldest son and warehouse guards. Until now, they have never seen anyone or the body is dead."
The old captain's words reminded Xu Yichen of the flesh and blood platform he had seen in the Chaos Fracture before. Thinking about the missing people, he vaguely felt his throat dry and his stomach was sore.
Although he is a qualified soldier who has been through the battlefield, there is still a big difference between bathing in blood and bathing in the residues of the human body.
He and the samurai had a tacit understanding after the war, and had never asked about the whereabouts of the missing people, nor had they ever communicated with each other's scenes because they didn't want to recall these things.
