Chapter 887: Trade (1)(1/2)
Chapter 887 Trade (Part 1)
Soon, the ship drove to the opposite side and kept in parallel with it.
But no one came up on the boat, and there was no one on the deck.
"Call!" the captain said in an orderly manner.
"We are the Mary, are there anyone?" a sailor shouted loudly to the other party.
He shouted three times, and there was no one on the deck, and there was no answer.
Now, the seaman's mood suddenly became uneasy.
"Ship... Captain, is it a ghost ship?" A sailor shivered in fear and fought with his teeth.
"Nonsense, first mate, take people up and take a look!" the captain roared and ordered.
The first mate reluctantly responded, and took two sailors and jumped up to see what was going on.
Everyone present looked at the three of them with anxiety and fear, and jumped onto the deck, but no one on the boat came out to inquire.
Because the cable was broken, the sail swayed in the wind, hitting the mast and then hitting the crossbar, slashing for a while.
The first mate trembled and walked forward a few steps, and found that the front cargo hold was open and the hatch was placed on the deck facing the sky.
Looking down, I just said "ah".
"What's wrong? What happened?" the captain roared and ordered the ship to go up steadily.
"The captain, it's not the ghost ship, but the people inside, were killed." After exclaiming, the first mate calmed down instead. As long as it was not a mysterious ghost ship, it would not be very terrifying to die some people.
"Do you know, pull it up, let's go and see!" The captain frowned, thought for a while, and said in an orderly manner.
Now, the two boats were officially leaning against each other, and the sailors were very skillful in pulling them up with ropes, getting closer, and putting on the springboard.
The captain jumped over with the man. When he looked over, he found that there were corpses everywhere inside the ship, and the first mate was examining the corpse.
"How is it?" the captain shouted.
"I've died for about one day." The first mate shouted below.
"Check it down." The captain said in an orderly manner.
"The cargo hold here is full of cargo on the ship!" The first mate walked to a place and saw the warehouse open wide. He looked inside and said loudly.
"Hiss... it's really like this!" The captain had such a look. When he ran to see, he knew that the ship's cargo was of great value.
"Teacher, take someone to count."
"Saving sailors, you take someone to collect all the bodies and put them on the deck."
"Yes!" both of them responded.
The captain opened the hatch door and quickly walked towards the captain's room.
The captain's room was bright, the portholes were inexplicably open, everything was whispering, but the furniture was good, the hammock was tied tightly, the clothes were still hanging on the bulkhead, and there were some rolled charts on the table.
The first mate opened the first mate's cabin again, and the portholes there were closed, which looked dry and everything was arranged in an orderly manner.
Before the captain could think too much, he focused on looking at the navigation logs opened on the table. The date on the last page above was yesterday.
The navigation log records that everything is normal.
In the upper drawer of the desk, the first mate saw a jewelry box with pearls, which was not locked, with rings, bracelets, headdresses, pearl necklaces with gems and many small jewelry.
There is also a small wooden box next to it with some silver coins in it.
This shows that the ship was not robbed by robbers.
After checking again, there were all pots, spoons, dishes and plates in the kitchen cabin, and there were still a lot of food in the pantry: ham, bacon, dried fish, vegetables, flour and large chunks of butter.
The inventory is enough for the entire ship to consume for half a year.
"Captain, what should we do now?" the first mate asked.
"...This ship and cargo are a great fortune. Listen, everyone is tight-lipped. Even this ship is driving to Yuanfan Port together and deal with the ship and cargo. This money is enough for us to make a fortune." The captain thought for a while and said in an orderly manner.
"Yes, Captain!"
Yuanfan Port, Pier.
"Look, another fleet is coming, ha! Some are busy today."
"Yes, it's really fun. Since the route was opened, Yuanfan Port has started to become lively again. The reward we get home this month will definitely make the whole family happy."
"More than this month, I heard that these coastal countries have signed peace agreements with the elves. As long as we work hard here, I will save enough money for marrying a wife next year."
"Haha, you guy, I said why you worked so hard? It turned out that you were trying to save money to get a wife!"
"Don't worry, when I get married, I will never forget to invite you to drink!"
There were ships constantly docking at the port terminal, and boxes of goods were being moved up and down. A group of porters were doing work there while chatting and laughing.
They are both strong, young and strong. Although the boxes are not very light in size, they seem so light in their hands.
Especially, at this time, they had just had a long rest and now they had a job to do again, so they were in a good mood.
It has been a while since this route was reopened, and those long-lost merchant ships have returned to Yuanfan Port.
In the past, due to the interruption of this route, some people who were doing business in Yuanfan Port City also went back one after another. Now, with the reopening of this route, these people have returned here.
Not only has Yuanfan Port become lively again, but Yuanfan Port City has become prosperous again.
"Hey, look over there, come over there to patrol. Are you an adult in the city?" At this time, a porter suddenly put down the goods in his hand and whispered to his companion beside him.
"What kind of adult?" His companion saw that his expression was a little excited, so he turned around and took a look.
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 out. One looked a little thin but had a good temperament. The other was very burly and handsome, with a heroic look on his face. They were all wearing high-quality clothes.
Under the protection of the guards, they were talking to the person in charge of the dock. Because they were a little far away, people here couldn't hear what they were saying.
"Sir in the city? Let's take a look, ah, that one, huh? Isn't that one Lord Fafeer? Look, is the one who is wearing black clothes over there, Lord Fafeer? I remember that they came to the port last year and we all saw it." After seeing it clearly, the porter said excitedly.
"Let me look... it seems that it is really Lord Fafell. Then will the one beside him be Lord Nick?"
When they first met the two legendary adults, these young people were all excited.
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, Fafell and Nick were giants under the leadership of Tetasha, so naturally many people were curious about them.
However, the gap between the common people and the nobles is really big. In addition, these two people are busy with work, so it is not easy for ordinary people to meet Romon, not to mention wanting to see these two people.
"...Well, you did a good job before, but since this month, more and more merchant ships have arrived by the port. Security and security work must be done well and there must be no mistakes. Your future tasks will be heavier." Fafell stood in front of the dock head and said seriously.
"Yes, yes! Please rest assured by Lord Fafeer, I will notice these issues." The person in charge is older than Fafeer, but in this world where status and official positions determine their identity, what Fafeer said is an order for him, and he naturally has to respond.
"But please don't worry, I will send another escort team to assist you in security work. In addition, the existence of the Mage Tower, there should be no big problems. For small problems, you will solve them." Seeing that the other party was a little nervous, Fafeer smiled, eased his tone, and said.
"Thank you, Lord Fafell!" Seeing that the lord did not make things difficult for him, the person in charge said gratefully.
"Okay, Nick, my matter is over. If you have anything to ask, come on." After completing the matter under his responsibilities, Fafell said to the young man beside him, that the man was indeed nothing else, it was Nick.
Nowadays, Nick's physical condition is getting better and better. The root cause of the disease left when he was a teenager has basically been removed over the years.
Although you can't engage in any profession, you can practice some simple routines of strengthening your body every day.
He has become a child's father but looks much more energetic than when he was young.
Seeing that Fafeer had asked about the matter, he smiled and said to the dock manager: "My business is actually very simple. I just come and take a look at the situation of the dock, and by the way, take a look at the transaction directory for the past month."
"Sir Nick, if you want to read the transaction directory, why should you come here in person? Send someone to say it, and I will send it to you." The person in charge said in panic.
"Mainly, I want to come here today to blow the sea breeze. Anyway, it's the way, it doesn't matter." Nick said with a smile.
As he grows older, Nick and Fafell have become more and more mature in dealing with issues of subordinates.
"Then I'll take you over and see." Seeing Nick say this, the person in charge said with great enthusiasm.
"Let's turn the dock first, and then go over and see it after you finish reading." Nick said.
"Fafell, what do you think?" He then turned around and said to Fafell.
Fafer also wanted to inspect the security work of the dock, so he nodded: "Okay, let's go."
The person in charge accompanied him, and the two walked on the pier. Around them, the guards carefully patrolled the surrounding situation.
These two people are the two most important people to Tetashau's territory besides Romon, especially when Romon was away, they could not have any problems.
When patrolling Yuanfan Port Pier, Nick's attention was mainly focused on those merchant ships, but there were exceptions.
"Huh, what is this?"
His eyes suddenly appeared on an open box.
This is the rule of Yuanfan Port. Before any goods need to be shipped into the city, they need to be unboxed and inspected. This is to protect the safety of the city.
When Nick walked here, the box of goods was unboxed and inspected.
"Oh, Lord Nick, this is a caravan. I just arrived from other kingdoms. I heard that it was ordered by a commercial bank in the city." The dock manager hurriedly replied.
"What a delicate workmanship." Nick bent down, reached out to pick up a small object from the box, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but say in admiration.
"Yes, this kind of workmanship is really exquisite. It looks a bit like an elf product?" Fafell walked over and said sighing after reading it.
