"Master Hank, we are almost arriving at the port."
In the captain's room, when the two were sitting opposite each other, reports from the sailors came from outside. Seeing this situation, the mouth on the mask of the Gray Sea King raised his mouth and said to Suleman: "Hehehe, next you It's 'Hank', remember to play that role."
Suleman was relieved. He did not forget that when he boarded the ship, the sailors called the Lord of the Gray Sea 'Master Hank'. At that time, he thought it was the other party's disguised identity.
But after the Gray Sea King gave him a portrait and told him about his identity, Suleman understood that it was the Gray Sea King who used his ability to distort the cognition of ordinary people around him. In their eyes, the Gray Sea King His appearance is 'Hank'.
Instead of a mysterious person wearing a mask.
That's right, under normal circumstances, if the image of the gray sea king wearing a mask falls into the eyes of ordinary people, it will definitely cause suspicion and unnecessary troubles. The most important thing is that the group of sailors outside don't know who they serve, they are actually the masters who rule the entire sea of ashes. In their cognition, they are just hired sailors under the [Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce].
This is the soul mask of the Gray Sea King, which is used to disguise the identity. Compared with Suleman's "physical" performance, the Gray Sea King's mask is equal to curves to save the country. I can't change my appearance, but I can Distort your perception - quite like the 'beauty camera' on earth.
but,
What makes Suleman curious is that since he plays Hank, the vice president of the [Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce].
So, what is the image of the Gray Sea King in their eyes now
Suleman was very curious, but he couldn't ask directly, so when he followed the Gray Sea King out of the captain's cabin, and when the two came to the deck, the sailors immediately stood up straight when they saw the Gray Sea King, not at all. Dare to slacken—
"Boss, so you're on board too!"
"This time we traded a large amount of sandman leaves and palm fat oil from the pirates, and then sold them to those dignitaries in Nusha Port. We will definitely make a lot of money! Boss is wise!"
"That's right, if the boss hadn't opened up the relationship with the Haizhu Palace, how could we profit from the pirates?"
"That group of idiot pirates will act aggressively. If we really do business, it depends on us hahahaha!"
Hiss. Suleman frowned, and realized that the Gray Sea King's current identity turned out to be the president of the [Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce]. His same vest everywhere
Also, in front of the King of the Gray Sea, you called the pirates a bunch of idiots, is that really okay? Suleman resisted the desire to complain, looked at them with pity, and then looked at the Gray Sea King.
Sure enough, the gray sea king's face was covered with a mask, and the corners of his mouth were kept slightly raised, with an indifferent look, which made Suleman admire how good his manner was, and his acting skills were really great. Of course, Suleman could also guess what was going on in his heart, and silently mourned for the sailors of the [Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce] for a few seconds. After all, no matter whether it is the chairman or vice president, it is strictly based on identity.
Both were pirates, and one of them was a pirate king.
"Prepare to sail into the port, don't delay the business." The Gray Sea King maintained a calm tone, but the demeanor exuded from him made the sailors on the deck suddenly quiet, and all of them obeyed him involuntarily. Order.
The sailor immediately lowered the gray bunting on the sail, and replaced it with a unique canvas with a [Giant Whale] style.
Wow!
With the sails unfolding in the air, the entire merchant ship took advantage of the sea breeze and approached the Angry Shark Harbor in sight.
This time, Suleman re-appreciated the characteristics of Angry Shark Port. When they approached the port, a group of heavily armed investigation teams were already guarding the top. They were peripheral believers of the Silver Moon Church. But the leader was the official Silvermoon investigator. He wore a top hat, a black and gray double-breasted dress, and held a silver cane. He looked at everyone with a seemingly polite but indifferent face.
"The Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce, a registered commercial organization, needs to pay the city fee and parking fee on a head-to-head basis."
Silvermoon investigators began to charge each of them according to the rules formulated by the church. If they entered the city on land, they didn’t need to pay so much. For example, Suleman only needed to pay a small amount of fees to verify his assets. into the city.
But entering the port by sea has a completely different meaning, because the investigators on the shore are very clear: this group of sailors belonging to the [Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce] is making private transactions with the pirates on the Sea of Ashes, and they have a lot of oil and water on them. It is profitable, and the trading partners are hostile pirates. Naturally, the Silver Moon Church wants to squeeze them well.
There is no need for any psychological burden.
So, under the order of the investigators of Silver Moon, believers poured into the cabin one by one, and began to check the cargo on their ship, almost every inch of it was spared. The most important thing is to check whether there are arms or other things, which are strictly forbidden to be traded. Once found, no matter how big the background is, the Silver Moon Church will eliminate everything.
Suleman looked at the steam merchant ship, coming in and out, and the investigators who were conducting a carpet search. He couldn't help thinking about the things he had chatted with the Gray Sea King before landing. Why did the Silver Moon Church acquiesce in the Chamber of Commerce and the pirates? their deal
At that time, the Gray Sea King smiled mysteriously and said in an inexplicable tone:
"Such transactions are strictly prohibited. Even if they increase their efforts on the surface, they will not be able to completely prohibit the material transactions between pirates and chambers of commerce. Instead, they will go underground and become harder to detect. become unmanageable."
"Instead of letting them be like the underground network in the upper city, forming a bad situation that the Silver Moon Church cannot control, it is better to put it on the bright side, two harmful ways, you have to choose a relatively mild one, right? Let alone take a step back, they With the help of management and control responsibilities, I can earn benefits from the chamber of commerce, which can not only meet my own income, but also monitor the trade between the chamber of commerce and the pirates."
"How wonderful is it that the Silvermoon Church can grasp the material situation of the pirates when the information is gathered together?"
When the King of Gray Sea said the above information, it seemed that the matter had nothing to do with him, which surprised Suleman, and he couldn't help asking how he felt. As a result, the King of Gray Sea chuckled for a while, but did not respond positively he.
This made Suleman even more certain that the Gray Sea King must have his calculations. The way the Silver Moon Church treats the pirate trade in this way might really fall into his calculations. Perhaps in an unknown aspect, the Gray Sea King has already earned benefits beyond the imagination of the Silver Moon Church by virtue of this.
About half an hour later, the investigators of the Silver Moon Church finished their search, and a subordinate ran to the side of the investigation leader and said softly: "Captain, the cargo in the cabin below is mainly Shaman leaves, and a small amount of Palm fat oil, we have also found some encapsulated ancient silver implements in the well-hidden moisture-proof oil barrels, which may be ancient artifacts from the second era."
The investigation captain's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes moved slightly.
You should know that sandman leaves are the main material for making fragrant nuts, and palm fat oil is an ingredient that enhances the taste of fragrant nuts. Both are abundant in the sea islands. In particular, the Sidney Strait area of the Sea of Ashes is famous for its rich sandy leaves, but due to the blockade of the pirate forces, this piece of material is completely in the hands of the other party.
The addictive fragrant nuts are precisely the favorite things of the high-ranking dignitaries in Nusha Hong Kong. As long as you don’t use your thighs to think about the benefits, you can guess the inside story. Thinking of this, the investigation team leader’s eyes froze, He ordered his subordinates to collect and hand over the batch of ancient silver tools, and deduct a part of the Shaman leaves as the 'guarantee fee' for this entry into the city.
"I suspect that you have a private collusion with the secret forces that have recently spread in the upper city. This part of Shaman leaves will be used as a guarantee fee. If you do not agree, I will detain you for observation for a week." The investigation leader said indifferently, and His words made the sailors who were originally passionate were thrown cold water all of a sudden, and none of them dared to refute each other.
The hidden forces in the upper city, this isn't referring to the 'Hunting Church', is it? Suleman couldn't help being stunned. He didn't expect the impact of this matter to be so great that it had spread to the entire port. Even the investigation team leader of the Silver Moon Church found an excuse to embezzle the goods, and had to put a shit bowl on their heads—Hunting Church He is about to become a 'back-up man'.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Suleman glanced at the Gray Sea King next to him. There was no movement on his face, and he still maintained an indifferent attitude, as if he was not the one who was deprived of the goods. Look down on these.
After confiscating them, the investigation team of the Silver Moon Church left with their heads up, leaving only the sailors on the deck, each with their heads downcast, completely different from the high spirits just now.
"Boss, what should we do?" Another high-ranking member who was not as good as Suleman, but was also considered a sailor leader, asked the Gray Sea King with a frustrated expression.
After this deduction, the income that [Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce] can get is greatly reduced, even a small profit is not much, and it is impossible to make a lot of money. Therefore, the rewards and dividends of the sailors are also in vain. Make them very frustrated.
Moreover, the investigation team leader of the Silvermoon Church did a good job. He took away the most valuable batch of ancient silverware and a small part of Shaman leaves, but he didn't take them all away. The dignitaries will not offend the Silver Moon Church for this.
Apparently, the Captain Yinyue was very experienced in dealing with this kind of thing, and the sailors could only suffer a dull loss, but what made them feel strange was that their own president didn't seem to care about the loss at all. .
"Move the goods and prepare to disembark to find them to deliver."
The Gray Sea King didn't care, and let the sailors move the goods in an orderly manner. At the same time, Suleman, who was standing next to him, couldn't help lowering his voice, asking him with a voice that only two people could hear—
"Did you hide that batch of silverware in the cabin on purpose? Let the investigation team of the Silver Moon Church steal the goods. In this way, it will be more convenient for us to enter the Angry Shark Port?"
The King of Gray Sea raised his eyebrows, and then put on that mocking tone, and the tone that made him want to hit him: "The batch of well-hidden ancient silverware made them feel that they had found this steam ship. The biggest secret on the cargo ship. After a normal person discovers the secret, he must have the mentality of making a fortune in a hurry and then running away.”
"I've heard that some famous big pirates, when they buried huge treasures before their deaths, they would habitually lay a layer of fake treasures on top, or fill in some wrong clues to mislead those who covet the treasure, and let the wealth be left to them true descendants of
"Do you think this method is very clever?"
You are also a famous great pirate, so don’t sound like a judge of others. Suleman slandered inwardly. The longer he spent with him, the more he found that the ruler of the Sea of Ashes didn’t have the airs that a king should have. Instead, he behaved a bit .Under playing.
But no one can beat him. After all, the strength of the Gray Sea King is not only limited to the surface, nor is he the strongest among the pirates.
In his previous life, he used this hand to ruthlessly kill other churches.
Considering the difference in strength between the two sides, Suleman decided not to argue with him, and resolutely followed the choice of his heart—
"Well, quite clever."
"Hee hee hee hee. Insincere words are not a good choice for a gentleman."
The Gray Sea King made a joke, and followed the sailors off the boat, and Suleman also followed them. Compared with the dejected sailors, no one knew that the real purpose of this steam merchant ship was to carry two people. Just enter the port.
In fact, they are the biggest secret of the [Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce].
After leaving the port, a group of people carried the goods and came to the office of the [Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce] in Nusha Port. It is located on the commercial street in the lower city. .
However, when Suleman raised his head again with the support of the sailors, he found that the gray sea king who had been following him had disappeared unknowingly. It seemed that he left Suleman directly to do his work alone. something happened.
Sure enough, Suleman had expected it, and was not surprised.
This king definitely has his own personal goals. This time he stepped into Angry Shark Port, and just gave Suleman a ride by the way. More precisely, everyone on the merchant ship is his pawn, including Suleman. inside.
This is the last link of the chain of missions, the meaning of assisting the Gray Sea King.
Even Suleman didn't know what the Gray Sea King wanted to do? After all, the plot of the previous life was not exposed. Who knows what the Gray Sea King’s mind is. Phew, Suleman took a deep breath, and received the packaging samples of Shaman leaves and the most important token from the sailors , Then, he turned and headed to the other direction of the lower city.
Next, Suleman will hand over the goods to a certain dignitary in Nusha Port as the vice president of the [Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce].
But the King of the Gray Sea had told him long ago that this time, the forces of the Ash Sea would need the assistance of the opponent to intervene in the Battle of Faith.
The true identity is also a great pirate.
