A sneeze destroys a magical civilization

Just when Zuo Si was concentrating on building a giant energy storage device, and using the resources provided by Ebeni ​​Arbo, he tried his best to try out the [Transformation] ability he had just mastered.

Far away in the room of the "Happy Time" Hotel, an important transaction involving more than two hundred thousand gold coins was underway.

One of the parties, you know without asking, is naturally the "Bloodhand" Captain Hallett and his pirates.

On the other side are the soldiers authorized by Zuo Si, the leopard who is also a summoned creature, as well as the shadow assassin Yelnia and the shadow army controlled by her.

In addition, there are also little werewolves led by the girl Fangus.

Apke personally came to mediate as an intermediary to prevent the two parties from fighting because they could not reach an agreement.

He was not worried that Zuo Si's men would be injured or die in the conflict.

Instead, they were worried that Hallet and some of his most important men would all die in Calim Port, which would have an unnecessary impact on the pirate power of the Nelanthel Islands, leading to the outbreak of chaos and internal fighting.

You must know that pirates and the Thieves Guild have a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship.

The goods and ships grabbed by the former will be processed through the black market opened by the latter, and some urgently needed supplies, weapons and daily necessities will be purchased at the same time.

Businessman Bernard sat aside and stared at both parties nervously.

"Here are 170,000 gold coins! Plus the books and scrolls the captain has collected over the years."

Eric, a tall man with short brown hair and a beard, signaled his men to lift up all the heavy wooden boxes.

Except for two of the boxes containing books and scrolls, the rest were all gold coins cast by Amn [Dante] and Calimshan [Beacon Tower].

However, although it sounds like a lot, in fact, based on the average weight of each gold coin of 9.1 grams, the total weight is just over a ton and a half.

In addition, the density of gold is very high. One cubic meter of gold can reach nearly 20 tons.

So it actually looks like a lot less.

"Exactly 170,000 pieces! Not one too many, not too little."

Four financial personnel brought by the leader of the Thieves Guild counted it several times before finally nodding to confirm that there was no problem.

Upon hearing this, a happy smile suddenly appeared on Apke's plump face, and he said to Hallett: "Congratulations, my friend. You are a free man now."

"Phew - it's finally over. Come on, help me get this damn rope off!"

The pirate captain was visibly relieved, with relief in his eyes.

He didn't want to experience this feeling of his life being manipulated in the hands of others again in his life.

Without saying anything, the soldier took out a piece of quartz engraved with four runes that Zuo Si had given him before leaving, and lightly touched the [Activation Rope].

moment!

This extremely strong rope will automatically fall off and return to the appearance of an ordinary rope.

Hallett, who had regained his freedom, immediately moved his hands and feet that were tied until they were numb, then took Eric's place at the negotiating table and said solemnly: "Now, we should talk about the ships docked in the port. , and the ransom for the magic equipment on my body.”

"The owner has asked a professional to estimate it. The construction cost of your pirate ship will be at least 40,000 gold coins. Plus the weapons it is equipped with, you can redeem it as long as you pay 70,000 gold coins.

As for magic equipment...

[Secondary Strength Belt] worth 9,000 gold coins;

[Dispelling Amulet] worth 4,000 gold coins;

[+2 Lightning Scimitar] worth 8500 gold coins;

[+2 Agility Short Sword] worth 13,000 gold coins;

[Boots of Protection from Fear] worth 6700 gold coins;

[Physique Bracers] worth 4200 gold coins;

[Wind-Making Hat] worth 3500 gold coins;

[Captain's Coat] worth 9800 gold coins;

You can decide which ones to redeem based on the prices on the list. "

After that, the soldier handed over a list that had been prepared.

When the pirate captain saw the price above and secretly calculated the terrifying amount of money needed to redeem all the magic items, Hao Xuanhui's heart stopped.

After a long silence, he suddenly raised his head and asked: "Why is there no [Ring of the Ram]?"

The soldier answered without thinking: "The master thought that the Ring of the Ram was a good magic item, so he kept it for himself."

Hearing that his most beloved magic ring was taken by Zuo Si, Hallett felt his heart bleed. At the same time, he lowered his voice and asked Eric behind him: "How much funds do we have available now?"

"122,000 gold coins! Captain."

The latter immediately gave an exact number.

This also means that, excluding the ships that must be redeemed, the funds that can be used are only 52,000 gold coins, and it is impossible to redeem all the magic equipment.

After much hesitation, Hallett quickly gave up the two most valuable magic weapons and redeemed all the armor first.

After all, as a captain, he rarely needs to take action himself. Even if he uses an ordinary sword to deal with it first, it won't be a big problem.

But the armor is different!

These things can greatly improve your survivability in melee.

In particular, the [Wind-Making Hat] is indispensable whether it is used to chase merchant ships or escape from warships.

As for the remaining money, it still needs to be used to recruit people, buy supplies and strong slaves, so that the huge pirate ship can set sail again.

After completing the transaction, the famous Captain "Bloody Hand" had almost spent most of his savings and became a complete pauper.

fortunately!

He also has a team that has gone through years of training and training.

As long as the red blood sail appears in the Sword Sea area again, it will soon be possible to earn back bit by bit by plundering merchant ships.

In this way, with Apke's mediation, the transaction, with a total amount of nearly 300,000 yuan, was finally completed without incident.

He was even very considerate and helped exchange the heavy gold coins into bills issued by his guild.

After everyone, including the pirates and thieves guild, left, the soldier handed over the ransom that Hallett had just paid to the young businessman: "Here! Now all this money is yours to handle."

"Thank you, Mr. Soth, for your trust! I swear on my own reputation and that of my family, I will not let him down." Bernard solemnly promised.

"I hope so..."

The soldier shook his head in disbelief, and soon took the little werewolf to the backyard of the hotel to continue teaching them fighting skills.

Hua Bao, who was finally freed from the task of guarding the captives, also went to the backyard and watched the group of little werewolves undergoing training with interest.

Occasionally, we will have some discussions with them who have completely transformed into wolves, so that these little guys understand how to use natural weapons such as claws and teeth.

In fact, a born werewolf possesses three forms.

The first of these is the normal human form.

There's basically nothing special about it except that the hair is a bit thick.

The second is the half-human, half-wolf form they often use.

In this form, they can attack with teeth and claws like wild beasts and run quickly on all fours, but they can also use a variety of weapons.

The third type is complete animal transformation, turning into a wolf or a ferocious wolf that is slightly larger than itself.

In this last form, they are equivalent to intelligent beasts.

You can blend into the pack of various wolf creatures in the wild, and even become the highest-ranking leader of the pack.

As for being captured by the drow who were still in the room...

It's a sunny day now.

With her natural weakness of being afraid of the sun, she was currently huddled in a corner to avoid the light as much as possible. Her whole body was in an extremely weak state, so there was no way she could think of escaping.
