Arcane Age
Chapter 62 Pirate Trading
In front of Xi Wei, three apostles were sitting side by side from oldest to youngest. Since Xi Wei was not a strict teacher on weekdays, they also relaxed here as if they were their own homes. They looked like cute and interesting pets. , Cute and cute.
Xi Wei also liked this warm feeling, which warmed his lonely heart all the time. This way of getting along with each other as both a teacher and a friend also made him very comfortable.
However, just as he was enjoying the afternoon, the lookout post from the tower spotted a ship not far away with a dark green flag hanging on it. This was exactly what the pirate ship belonging to Little Wilford looked like when it was a merchant ship.
It’s time to trade again!
After receiving the notice, Xi Wei suddenly stood up and took out a suit of luggage and clothing that he had prepared long ago from the closet.
Putting on a white shirt, a black uniform, a cane, and tortoiseshell glasses, Xi Wei looked like a butler in a noble family, but he was a little too young and a little too handsome, with blond hair. Sparkling in the sunlight.
"Oh? Are you my housekeeper?" Charlotte stretched her forearms and reached in front of Xi Wei with a noble look.
"Yes, my noble countess!" Xi Wei bowed slightly, took her black-gloved hand, and kissed the back of her hand gently.
A burst of smoke rose up on Xi Wei. When the smoke dissipated, Xi Wei straightened up. He had completely transformed into the shape of the butler Edward.
"Oh my god, it can really be fake!" Meryl covered her mouth tightly with her little hands, with an expression of disbelief on her face.
"Miss Meryl, it's my honor to serve you!" Xi Wei's voice also changed, with a hint of hoarseness in his old age.
With Zero's help, Xi Wei was extremely impressed by Edward, and his simulation was very good. His disguise technique has reached the master level, and even people who are familiar with him can't tell.
It's just that the disguise technique has a lot of magic fluctuations, which can be easily seen through by other magicians.
In many transactions in the past, the butler Edward was bound to be present every time, but the master of the tower, Master Gatling, did not show up every time, so Xi Wei could only disguise himself as Edward.
Xi Wei summoned Yang and arranged tasks for everyone in the Order of the Phoenix.
Not long after, the ship docked at the dock. Several servants came over, took the rope thrown from the ship, and tied it tightly to the stone pole.
"Dear friends! I'm here again! Don't you welcome me?" Little Wilford took off his cowboy hat, revealing his perfectly combed hair and beard, with a warm smile on his face.
Several servants at the dock were arranged after Xiwei's careful inspection. They had families, wives and children on the island. Xiwei also improved their treatment, so they were relatively loyal.
"Butler Edward has been waiting for you for a long time. Why are you so late this time?" asked a servant. He was working at the dock and had already told Xi Wei all the information he knew about pirates, so he was promoted. Became the leader.
"You don't know, the sea is extremely tense now, many shipping routes are impassable, and countless merchant ships are gathering anxiously in the harbor!" Little Wilford jumped off the side of the ship and landed steadily on the pier. His eyes scanned the entire dock, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
"Oh? Why?" Xi Wei appeared from a short distance away. He was not walking eagerly, but his steps were brisk. This was the usual habit of Edward the housekeeper.
Little Wilford took out his pipe, lit the cigarette holder, took a deep breath, and exhaled a puff of thick smoke: "Hey, old dog Edward, isn't Master Gatling here today?"
Although he knew that old dog here represented loyalty and was a complimentary word, Xi Wei was still very unhappy. He replied in a nonchalant manner: "Master Gatlin is conducting an important and critical experiment. He doesn't have time." Come here, so I will be solely responsible for this transaction!"
"Okay? Then come in and take a look at this cargo!" Little Wilford waved his hand, and a soft ladder made of ropes was dropped on the deck.
Xi Wei narrowed his eyes slightly. Edward on the tower had never walked up the soft ladder. What posture should he use to get up?
Xi Wei acted as if nothing had happened. He held the edge of the soft ladder with one hand and climbed up with flexible legs.
"His eyes moved fifteen degrees to the lower right corner and his pupils contracted. He is paying attention to your actions!" Zero reminded Xi Wei in time.
what to do?
A flash of lightning flashed in Xi Wei's mind, and his whole body seemed to become much lighter. He lightly pushed his left foot on the rope, and his whole body floated up the side of the ship like a spring.
"Tsk, tsk, Edward, your body is as strong as that of a twenty-year-old boy!" Little Wilford asked with a smile.
My current body is less than sixteen!
Xi Wei secretly complained, but he also said: "Following the great Gatling master, there will always be some reward for loyalty!"
Little Wilford, the captain who traded with the tower, is undoubtedly a shrewd character. With the information Xi Wei possesses, it is obvious that he cannot completely simulate Edward without revealing any flaws, so he decided to take the initiative to make changes.
Let me tell you clearly that something has changed in me!
In this way, little Wilford will only observe what changes have happened to Edward the housekeeper, and will not suspect that he is a fake person.
"How is the cargo this time?" Xi Wei asked generally.
"Is Master Gatlin satisfied with the goods he brought last time? They are all children from the Chamber of Commerce, so they must be very smart!" Little Wilford did not answer directly.
"Not bad! There is one, Master Gatlin is very satisfied!" Xi Wei replied after pondering for a moment.
Over the years, the entire population and most supplies on the island have relied on pirates in exchange for arcane crystals produced in the mines.
This transaction has been going on for many years. If the pirates don't know that there is an arcane crystal vein on the island, they are really deceiving themselves.
It's just that this pirate group doesn't look powerful. While they are wary of Gatlin's strength, they are also unwilling to give up the opportunity to exchange for arcane crystals at a very low price, so this transaction can continue.
If once the pirates learn that Master Gatlin has died and the tower has changed its owner, then there will inevitably be an attack on the tower and the island based on their greed for precious wealth.
The current island is far from being able to cope with such an attack, so Xi Wei must find a way to prevent the news from leaking in order to survive this most dangerous period safely.
With his rapidly improving magical power and his unwavering efforts to cultivate other people in the tower, within a year and a half, the tower would have enough strength to protect itself.
