After coming here, Fang Senyan made clear the few things he had to do before:
The first is to sell the smuggled goods from Tetuga, which is a very lucrative business, and can inject at least 20,000 gold pounds into the rapidly shrinking treasury.
Next, check at the Governor's Mansion. Although I know that Miss Elizabeth's gold coin is definitely not so easy to get, I still have to try it anyway. It is worth mentioning that the curse of the Aztecs attached to the gold coin actually originated from the box containing the gold coin. As long as you take out the gold coin from the box containing the gold coin, you will be cursed, and Turner and Yili They didn't take Sabeth's gold coin, but it was passed into their hands, so they were not cursed.
If Mr. Jack Sparrow has not come to Port Royal at this time, Sheyan doesn't mind paying a visit to Mr. Will Turner who is still serving as a blacksmith apprentice—after all, he is likely to be the next member of the Flying Dutchman in the future. Captain—at this time, let's get familiar with each other first.
In the end, the reason why Sheyan desperately made money was for consumption, and the gold pound was of little significance to the contractor. However, Sheyan heard from the pirates that there was a powerful alchemist living in Port Royal, and his achievements were not at all inferior to that of the dead Mr. Bacon. Fang Sheyan is well aware that the service quality of an alchemist is often linked to the amount of gold pounds, that's why he is so keen on making money.
Although smuggling was strictly prohibited by the incorruptible Colonel Norrington, privileged classes flouted the law wherever they existed. Whether foreign or Chinese, whether in the Middle Ages or in modern times. As long as there are high profits, there must be buyers.
For example, according to Philip's information, this firm called "Sheffield" seems to only deal in red wine on the surface, but the boss dares to accept anything... because according to the exact news, the master behind the boss is O Swann, Governor of Port Royal, father of the beautiful Miss Elizabeth. He is an old-fashioned and kind father, but also a shrewd and greedy governor...
Needless to say about the process of the transaction, Gold Mine did not take much effort to resort to his two magic weapons of frothy debate and crackling abacus, and very civilized to make the shopkeeper submit. In the end, Mr. McKinney, the owner of the polite and gentlemanly shop, sent them out in a cold sweat. Fang Sheyan's account has an extra profit of nearly 30,000 gold coins.
Just when the two sides were about to separate, this Mr. McKinney suddenly showed a shrewd look in his cloudy old eyes. He took out a bronzing business card that looked very beautiful from his sleeve, and coughed twice. Senyan Road:
"Everyone, since the cooperation between the two parties has had such a good start, you are already qualified to become our VIP guests. There will be a very grand auction tomorrow. If you are interested, you can use this business card to Participate - I must add that this is the first auction of its kind to take place since the brilliant Colonel Norrington took over at Port Royal, and the next one is not in sight, so there is bound to be something you want at this auction , Of course, it depends on your financial resources to be able to buy it."
"What do we want?" The black buddy grinned silently. There was no malice in his smile, but he laughed at himself because he thought of the difficulty of obtaining Aztec gold coins.
But old McKinney interpreted the smile of this "black slave" as a kind of contempt and ridicule. As we all know, the politeness of the British is just to cover up the arrogance in their bones, so the old man left immediately He came forward, straightened his wig, lowered his face sullenly and said:
"If I tell a few people that among the goods in this auction, there are twenty brand-new cannons that have just been ordered from Hamburg, ranging from three pounds to seven pounds. Will this gentleman put your face Put away the contemptuous smile on your face?"
Brother Hei and Jiao Shi didn't care much, but Sheyan and Mr. Gibbs were taken aback when they heard the words cannon. For this era, the effective range of a normal artillery is only a few hundred meters. , the curved cannon has both the ultra-long range of the cannon and the accuracy of the curved cannon. The range can be almost doubled while the accuracy remains the same compared to the rest of the guns!
Of course, everyone wants such a cutting-edge weapon, but due to the manufacturing process problems at that time, the scrap rate was very high when it left the factory, and the cost remained high. To put it bluntly, if a Tier III ship is equipped with cannons, then the money spent can be enough to build five Tier III ships of the same level.
To be able to get this thing at this auction is enough to show that the corruption of Port Royal is at its root. These twenty brand-new cannons must have intercepted the munitions that were supposed to be distributed to Norrington. At this time, when Norrington was fighting outside, he took it out and sold it for a big sale!
Fang Sheyan's complexion also became serious:
"I'm sorry, sir, I apologize for his ignorance, I am honored to be invited, and I will definitely be here on time tomorrow."
Old McKinney's self-esteem was finally satisfied, he bowed slightly with his head held high, and then walked away without looking back with that kind of pride. After Fang Sheyan thought for a while, he waved the invitation in his hand and smiled:
"After he said that, I'm really interested in this auction."
At this time, Mr. Gibbs naturally began to urge Sheyan, eager to find out the whereabouts of his boss, Mr. Jack Sparrow, but Sheyan knew that if the normal plot develops, it will probably have to wait two or three times. Tomorrow, when Colonel Norrington is promoted to brigadier general, he will appear.
The reason why Norrington was promoted to brigadier general was obviously because he had made great achievements in the battle against the Xivale pirate group. Of course, Sheyan's own analysis and judgment would not just tell my dear Mr. Gibbs, but for Mr. Gibbs, who has been down for several years, even though he noticed that Sheyan was deliberately procrastinating, he didn't think he was enjoying the comfort of the tavern. What harm can there be in the days of good wine and good meat.
…
Obviously, the Governor's Mansion located on the hillside behind the port is the most luxurious building in Port Royal. Norrington, who is the only one with the same rank as the governor, is also qualified to have such a luxurious mansion, but he is a guy who is strict with others and himself, and his residence is in the barracks and is very simple. So Fang Senyan and the others did not spend too much effort in finding the Governor's Mansion.
Probably because the law and order situation in Port Royal is quite good, Fang Sheyan and the others did not find too tight guards here, the only threat was two sailors, they were yawning at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, looking very sluggish look like.
However, according to Fang Senyan's inquiry information, he found that Norrington is indeed a well-leading soldier. The average attribute of the two direct-line sailors and guards is only about 30 points, which seems relatively average, but what they possess The two abilities are really tricky.
One of the abilities: team spirit lv4 (passive), whenever a companion is added to the side, the life value will increase by 10,000 points, up to 40,000 points of life.
Lv4 Special Effect: An additional 10,000 points of life are added.
Ability 2: Ambush LV1 (Active), this ability can only be activated when the back is facing the enemy, use guns or throw sailor knives to inflict the vital points on the enemy's back, make them fall into a bleeding state and reduce the movement speed by 50%, and last for 15 seconds . The cooling time of this ability is 10 seconds...
The first ability of these two abilities is to prevent them from being killed quickly, and the second ability is to make you want to run away, but they can quickly trip you up. And Fang Sheyan also observed carefully, the straight-line distance from here to the barracks is only one mile, unless it is like the Black Pearl in the plot that made a large-scale attack and invasion, otherwise, once the gunshots in the Governor's Mansion sounded, the entire barracks would be destroyed within five minutes. people will flock here.
At this moment, Fang Senyan suddenly saw the iron gate of the Governor's Mansion being opened, and a young man came out, with a long box under his armpit, every few steps he would look reluctantly at the Governor's Mansion .
Following his gaze, one could see a beautiful blonde girl watching him leave behind the window on the second floor of the Governor's Mansion. When the young man turned his head, Sheyan suddenly realized that this handsome guy in gray leg socks, kilt, and red tie should be one of the purposes of his trip, Will Turner.
Obviously, the beautiful girl behind the window is Miss Elizabeth. Compared with her pure and beautiful appearance, it is hard to imagine that she is so sharp, so good at using her unique feminine charm weapon, so that Even Mr. Jack Sparrow was played by her under the pomegranate skirt.
After Sheyan turned his eyes away from the window on the second floor, he saw Mr. Wiltner walking towards his group with a sullen face:
"What are you sneaking around here for?"
Sheyan stood up and said:
"I'm from the East. I heard that the British Republic is rich in products, so I came here specially to find some special products and ship them back to the East for sale."
Will Turner stared at Sheyan's eyes distrustfully, obviously distrusting his words:
"Then you should go to the exchange, not at the gate of the governor's mansion!"
