A dragon who doesn't want to be a killer is not a good businessman
Chapter 16 Who doesn't have a business model
What Frank explained was not complicated.
Yesterday afternoon, Frank, who was frightened again and again and was at a loss, accidentally bumped into the owner of the stall on the road.
The boss was distracted at first, and after realizing that Frank was a young and new face who was short of money, he asked him to watch the movements near the port at night on the grounds that he needed help, and gave him a salary of 500 guilders in advance.
Five hundred guilders is enough for Frank to live frugally for a month, not to mention the boss has promised to hire him to work at the stall in the future.
As a man who almost starved himself to death and tried to be a thief in desperation but failed, Frank readily agreed.
After finally receiving the job, he also wanted to fulfill his duties, but was afraid that he would accidentally fall asleep. He even found a house to rest in a straw pile for a while, and then came to the beach near the beach at night as promised, sat on the beach and began to inspect the pier.
dynamics.
There were few people on the beach at night, but the overall environment was fresh and pleasant - until the sound of cannons sounded.
Frank had discovered the pirate ship before and knew that his boss asked him to observe the people and objects nearby, so he faithfully wrote down the characteristics when the sea was calm.
He had never even seen the sea before, and had no understanding of pirates in the real world, but he had the leisure to distinguish the flags illuminated by the moonlight and wrinkled by the sea breeze, and he could see the icons on them.
The pirate flag pattern on the black background is simple and clear, with a classic skull in the center clearly visible. It is wearing a blue three-legged hat, but half of its eye sockets are completely covered by eye patches.
The cross bones under the skull were replaced with scimitars and long swords.
Another feature is a hastily sketched griffin at the tip of a long sword, which is also marked with a cross.
Frank doesn't know anything else, but he knows that the additional markings on the pirate flag are a kind of intimidation and warning. They not only indicate the degree of threat, but also represent the stance that the pirate group is fighting against - the griffon is the symbol of the Kingdom of Crowley.
Even Frank could realize that this was a special case among pirate groups. Other legendary flags at most engraved the enemy's name on the skull, and decorated the skeleton to symbolize taking away the enemy's head.
It looks simple and ordinary, but directly declares war against a country. This is simply unheard of.
But Frank didn't have time to think so much at that time, and was continuing to observe, when suddenly someone fired a cannon.
"And you ran away?"
Frank shook his head, but hesitated.
"I was actually hiding nearby, and I wanted to check out the situation... They were firing, so I definitely had to hide."
Frank, who was feeling lucky, did not go far. He just found a shelter near the port and continued to watch the details.
Later, he felt that the sea seemed to be much calmer, and he observed the "enemy" of the pirate ship as he wished.
Immediately afterwards, there was a second cannon shot.
The two cannon shots actually came from pirate ships, and the target of the cannon attack was a strange black cargo ship.
"That cargo ship is very strange. I just thought it was a cargo ship because of its shape and outline." Frank frowned, "It's about a size larger than a pirate ship, and there's no one visible... except for the windows, almost everywhere is covered.
Black."
Now, the pirate ship has been moored in the port. Except for the owners or sailors of various cargo ships who have to get closer and return to their ships, others are more or less afraid to approach. After all, the bright flag is placed there.
As a person with the ability to protect himself, Mo Gan actually wanted to take a look, but after all, he had something to do at the moment, and he didn't want to "show his face" before he had a certain understanding, causing trouble - he was not a reckless man who never fought.
An unprepared battle.
But Frank had been there before. After all, he had been keeping an eye on the big "event" of the pirate ship until it docked. He really didn't sleep all night.
Based on his memory, Frank can also deduce the size of the cargo ship from the size of the existing pirate ships.
The reason for this troublesome need is that after two shots, the cargo ship was hidden on the sea level and completely disappeared.
"It's like a ghost ship!"
Frank watched the whole situation and did have the right to speak. But he frowned and he still hasn't figured out the reason.
"What I was mainly looking at was the pirate ship, mainly because it fired the cannons, but I also occasionally looked at the cargo ship so that I wouldn't be distracted. I felt that one second I saw the cargo ship on the side, and a few seconds later, it
It’s completely gone!”
Morgan listened to him continue to talk about how surprised he was, how he used sneaky skills to get close to the docked pirate ship, and saw several sailors with their trousers rolled up on it, and even remembered a few bald heads.
At the same time, he squinted his eyes, searched for clues in his mind, and thought briefly.
Blue hat, black eye patch, crossed sword, pirate flag naming the gryphon...
There seems to be some impression.
The griffon symbolizes courage and nobility, and the representative guardian animal of the Kingdom of Crowley is the griffon.
It is not a matter of whether the Kingdom of Cole should take the initiative to attack the pirate ships that are demonstrating to neighboring countries. The Kingdom of Crowley, across the sea from Cole, happened to be the target of the war thirty years ago.
Due to some legacy reasons, the relationship between the two countries can only be described as moderate, and they cannot be considered very friendly neighbors who are so harmonious that they have to stand out.
The problem is that they are now on the south side of the continent, while the Kingdom of Crowley is to the north of the continent across the bay.
Why did the pirate ship that boycotted the Kingdom of Crowley, a full continent away from the Kingdom of Crowley, end up on the coast on the other side of the Kingdom of Cole?
It would be reasonable if it wanted to rest the team in a less aggressive place, but the strangest thing is that it actually fired openly and deliberately, made such a big noise, and then parked on the port so boldly early in the morning.
In addition, there is the black cargo ship that currently has the least information and is now missing...
Without clues, even Morgan can't move forward for the time being. But Frank still has something to say.
"I really doubt that there will be ghosts on that cargo ship. I'm not talking about real ghosts, not like ghosts or ghosts, or the ghosts in people's hearts. Where can a ship cover itself completely?
The shielding was so tight. It was obvious that he was the one being attacked, but compared to the pirate ship, he actually ran away! Isn't this because he has something in his heart? What is?"
Morganton felt that this young man's brain circuit was different from ordinary people, but he was also very interested in listening.
"Why do you think so?"
Although the black cargo ship is indeed suspicious, most people would not immediately start speculating from this angle.
Although it can be seen that this Frank does not have the same basic impression of "burning, killing and looting" that most seaside residents have about pirate ships. He is most likely a child who lived inland and only read fictional books when he was young, but he does not have such a basic impression.
The conspiracy theories started.
Of course, Mogan doesn't mind this conspiracy theory at all.
Without publicizing it and affecting other people, he greatly appreciates this kind of thinking that can expand to extreme directions and clearly list the worst possible behavioral habits - because this is his expertise.
Frank also felt guilty, "I've seen a lot of people... some guys just have bad intentions! Maybe there are some invisible people on the cargo ship, who are as invisible as the ship, and they went to kill the people on the pirate ship."
Get up."
"Which guys?"
"How did I know..." Frank muttered in a low voice, "A bad person like the one who goes against Her Majesty the Queen..."
Mo Gan was even more surprised this time.
Mainly because he had only heard this kind of cliché mixed with Her Majesty the Queen in the classes of aristocratic tutors.
This kind of rhetoric education is not brainwashing, because this kind of cliché is like the "answer template" of the upper class, and you can't go wrong no matter how you say it.
Even if it's really a secret, if someone dares to point it out, they will be accused of contempt of the Queen for no reason, which is a thankless task.
The subjects that Morgan needs to practice are different from those of aristocratic children, and his parents are not interested in social situations. He will get tired of listening to them for a few days.
But he has also done some research. After all, the target of this kind of aristocratic tutoring is largely a potential market for him to make money.
Could it be that this child was still a young nobleman before he was alone and exiled in a foreign country?
How could it be reduced to such a state?
"Repeat customer?"
At this moment, the stall owner whom I met yesterday came over from nearby.
Today, his clothes were tidied up better than yesterday. There were no clues. He was also dressed more formally. He kept stroking his beard. He only saw Mo Gan's profile and greeted him.
"Is there anything you want to buy today? Or, do you want to exchange the clues of the dragon scale for something?"
Who doesn’t have a business model?
There can be kings, dragons, and brave men. Even the most flamboyant and violent hound of the Knights knows how to rub the hem of someone's skirt when the Queen visits, like a kitten reincarnated into the body of a vicious dog.
Of course Mogan does too.
He is a businessman, and in order to properly please a boss or partner who is generous enough, he needs to master the appropriate scale of response.
"I saw that your goods were very good yesterday. Of course I want to come and take a look today. Isn't this a coincidence? The quality of your waterworm eggs is good."
The corners of his mouth raised fifteen degrees, making a perfect smile. The emotion in his expression remained unchanged even when he spoke.
"I've already bought it. Your new boy has done a good job. He will sell me a good item in just three strokes, five divided by two."
Frank's hair stood on end, and he could hardly believe that the person in front of him, who had concealed his pretentiousness and hypocrisy to the extreme, was the same person just yesterday.
It can be seen that people's bottom line is always free, and this truth is even more true when it comes to Mo Gan, of course.
