Seawind City is the largest port city in the eastern part of the Eslar continent.
Seawind City has the best deep-water port on the entire continent, where a large number of fleets come and go all year round. Countless supplies, whether legal or illegal, will be collected and distributed here. As long as you spend a little money, who cares what you are transporting. Anyway, for Seawind City, the basis for its survival is maritime transportation. If it is too strict, won't it be difficult for itself
Another huge sea ship slowly sailed into the pier accompanied by the gentle sea breeze and slowly docked on the pier.
Hundreds of porters lined up to step onto the gangplank. Soon, they were carrying big bags one after another from the ship that had just entered the port. This big black bag seems to be very heavy, and every porter seems to be very strenuous.
A man who looked like a foreman shouted loudly and kept shouting beside the dock porters: "Hurry up, others are waiting to load this batch of goods. If you work harder, the owner of the cargo has promised to give you twice the wages." If you bastards don't finish moving before dark, you'll all die without a single copper."
Under the threat of the foreman and the inducement of gold coins, the dock porter seemed to walk faster, and the big black bag the size of a person seemed not to be so heavy.
In the captain's cabin of this seagoing ship, a burly man with an eyepatch on his right eye said angrily: "Boss, we made a lot of money this time."
The man called "Head" was about forty years old. He waved his hand and said, "Ditteb, although we sold this batch of goods for three times more than the purchase price, we didn't make any profit." It’s a lot, don’t forget the risk we took. Don’t look at this fat guy who paid three times the price, but as long as he transports it back to his own territory, he can easily sell it for more than twenty times the price.”
The burly man known as Ditbu said in confusion: "I think our price is almost as good as robbery, how come that fat pig can still be sold for twenty times the price?"
A gleam appeared in the "Tou"'s eyes, and he said: "It's very simple. He is the only one who can handle this kind of goods in his territory. What's smuggling? You have to take huge risks and avoid being captured by the Imperial Navy." If other pirates take advantage of others, they may be swallowed up by the waves. These city lords can seek profits that are several times or even dozens of times more than our smuggling by just talking. "
Ditbu shook his head and said, "Boss, the situation has been a bit tight recently. Many of our brothers in Seawind City have been arrested."
The "head" said disdainfully: "Those idiots only know blackmail and intimidation. Go out at night, catch the lover of the city guard officer, strip her naked and throw it into the arms of his opponent, the fat and white tax collector." **. The guy in charge of taxation drinks all day long, so he must be confused and confused. Then remember to inform the garrison officer on time, and watch the show then. "
A *smile appeared on Ditbu's face. He was looking forward to the good show at night. He muttered in a low voice: "It will be a while before it gets dark. I can't wait any longer."
A thin man opened the door to the captain's cabin and walked in.
"Tou, you are doing this kind of prank again." The new thin man who came in heard the conversation between "Tou" and Ditb and said dissatisfiedly.
Ditb put away the *smile on his face and said nonchalantly to the thin man who had just walked into the captain's room: "Hey, Edward, don't always look sanctimonious. If you come up with ideas, maybe it will be better than this Much more insidious.”
The thin Edward smiled and said: "Boss, you heard it, Ditb said your idea was very insidious."
Before the "head" could speak, Ditbu cursed loudly: "You bad guy, I have been fooled by you again."
"Tou" waved his hand and said, "Okay, Edward, what do you want to tell me?"
"Hi, boss." Edward said: "Those boring nobles in the imperial capital may really have nothing to do. They actually issued a reward at this year's Royal Athletic Competition."
"Oh?" "Tou" said, "What kind of reward?"
Edward shrugged his shoulders and said: "The champion of this Royal Athletic Competition can choose from three options. The first is to serve in the military; the second is to get a territory; the third is to be completed by the emperor. A wish.”
Ditb said disdainfully: "Who cares!"
"Head" said: "Ditteb, don't say anything. This evil guy Edward must have come up with another plan to impress us."
Edward showed a proud smile on his face and said: "You better understand me. That's what I think. You see, if we also participate and win the championship, we can successfully clear our name. Head, you arrange a This guy will serve in the army, and then spend some gold coins to bring him to Seawind City. When the time comes... "
No matter how stupid Ditbu was, he knew it. He said: "Isn't this Seawind City our world by then? No matter what I say, they won't even dare to say anything. They will definitely follow suit."
"Tou" nodded and said: "This is indeed a good opportunity. But if we go deep into the imperial capital, will we be discovered?"
Edward said: "Boss, have you forgotten that guy Hawke?"
Edward reminded him of Hawke's unique skills and said, "If you hadn't reminded me, I almost forgot. Hawke, a big liar, is the best at makeup. The last time he dressed up as a count who came to the imperial capital. , defrauded the confused tax collector of 2,000 gold coins. Well, he seems to have gone out to hide from the limelight, right? The wanted portrait of him is still posted at the city gate. Edward, send someone to find him immediately, Hawke is still there Should he be hiding in the castle he defrauded from the widow of a marquis?"
Edward said: "If he doesn't even have the skills to sneak into Seawind City, why would he want to go to the Imperial Capital?"
Tou nodded in agreement and said to Ditbu: "Go and call Dodge. He is a romantic guy who likes to chase those noble ladies. Then we will go to the imperial capital. If we can pass him It would be even better if you seduce a few ladies and follow the path of some big shots."
Ditb asked: "Go now? Will the defender's lover still be arrested?"
He hit Ditbu hard on the head and said, "Don't worry about the defense officer. We are going to the imperial capital to find those bigger figures."
Edward smiled and said: "As you command, my lord. This time, we will turn this imperial capital upside down."
