Black sails

Chapter 20 XX. Direct recruitment by Bosch

After finishing his work, Fen came out of the Adventurer's Guild gate.

"What's wrong? Is there something big going on?"

Seeing Li Site's restless state, Fen had to think this way.

Li Site was the ruthless guy who didn't even frown when he was surrounded by more than a dozen pirates at the Port of Heaven. Now he was actually sitting on a chair shaking his legs and still smoking. His eyes were unfocused and he was in a distracted state. It was extremely rare. Last time Or his secret meeting with the daughter of a big boss in Tianguo Port was discovered.

Li Site put out his cigarette butt after hearing this.

"Did you buy a newspaper?"

Li Site was going to let Fen serve as his advisor. He had been in the upper-class circles of the Western Continent, and he was more aware of the impact of the operation of steam trains.

"Are you talking about the steam train? I heard the adventurers inside discussing it. A friend of mine also thought about this invention, but he didn't publish the paper due to the current situation. In addition, he didn't have any good ideas for molds for iron ore finishing. , I didn’t expect it to be revealed now, the blessing of the Dragon of Eternity and Time, it’s too ridiculous.”

Fen didn't take it seriously, but he was a little regretful. His friend was actually himself. He was more obsessed with magic than invention, and he was just having fun.

Li Site was silent for a while and patted his head. Indeed, it was just a steam train. He had been a pirate for too long and his brain was rusty.

This doesn't mean anything. If you think about it carefully, it's just that transportation has become a little more developed, and it's still far from being widely used. It's just a road that has just been opened to traffic. The area of ​​​​the Western Continent is vaster than the seven continents combined. There are many, and they are far from a flat plain. Among them, the terrifying biological restricted area at the peak of the natural chasm is gone, and the infrastructure construction will take many years.

I just don’t know what other jobs that twenty-five-year-old boy can do.

"Why are you so upset about this?"

Fen was puzzled and continued to add: "I do have a good idea. In the near future, preferably within half a year, we will also go to the Aram Empire to enjoy the autumn breeze. Since the freight train has just been opened, maybe there will be a trial operation on that railway track. On the passenger train, the first batch of test takers must be nobles who are trying new things, and we can rob them."

Fin rubbed his chin, thinking this was a good idea and he had to do it before anyone else thought of it.

Li Site looked as if he had eaten a fly. How could General Fen, such a smart person, suddenly become mentally retarded?

"How are you going to rob? Brother, a dozen or so people are all wanted criminals. How do you get on the train? Do you have to chase them? Comparing with the speed of the train?"

Li Site suddenly fell into the inherent thinking mode of modern people.

Fen's expression looked like he had eaten a fly. How could such a smart person like Li Site suddenly become so brainless?

"Perhaps, we can ask Oakes' strange force fish to move more rocks, one weighing 700 to 800 kilograms, to block the railway. The train will be driven to a remote place, and the soldiers will not be able to catch up. They will rob the entire train. Just kill those who deserve to be killed, it’s best to tie up a few more nobles for ransom, the money you can earn from this one vote... I don’t dare to think about it.”

Fin has also fallen into the inherent mindset of a pirate, and it is difficult to imagine that he was once a noble.

"One word can awaken the dreamer. Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading!"

Li Site suddenly realized that he was worthy of General Fen, and it was even better than the one-fish-three-eating thing in this casino robbery.

Fen also bought a newspaper from the newsboy, read it carefully himself, and took it back to the ship later to give those illiterate people some eyesight.

There are many disadvantages to being a pirate, and lack of information is one of the biggest disadvantages. Once, they robbed a ship and robbed a large amount of cargo, earning more than 900 gold dragons. The group of people on the ship stayed in Tianguo Port for more than half a year, eating from the lake to the sea. People in the poor land of Tianguo Port spent their money foolishly investing in some real estate due to their excessive prostitution and gambling. They spent all their money for the rest of their lives and were almost ruined. When they returned to the Western Continent, the climate was completely different. The pattern is gone.

Fen looked at the newspaper. Apart from the train incident, it was nothing more than the recent murder cases on the East Coast. The deceased were all Khajiits. Officials suspected that they were perverted murderers who hated the Khajiit race. In fact, it was the Tongtian case carried by Swann.

Another thing worth noting is that a necromancer in the northern part of the Principality of Bema was recently killed by an honorary adventure group. Fen had a relationship with this necromancer in the Tower Alliance before. It is really unpredictable.

In addition, the rest of the events are gossips between adventurers, which hero class confirms the relationship with which girl, and sleeps in a room. These idiot editors really can't find anything to write about.

It is impossible to see anything about refugees fleeing famine in newspapers. These newspapers printed and published by the Adventurers Guild will not mention any local politics, do platform business on other people's territory, and pay taxes honestly. Just do things honestly and that's it.

Just as Fin closed the newspaper.

"Captain, captain, are you here too? I have something to tell you."

A sly-eyed intelligence dealer saw Archer, who was drunk and crying about the atomic bomb. He recognized Li Site and approached him enthusiastically. Li Site was also looking for him when he came ashore more than ten days ago and asked about him. Let’s take a look at the recent situation on the east coast and Linden City. Are there any pirates trying to steal business from Li Site?

Li Site also saw this person, he looked familiar, but it took him a while to remember him.

"Oh, it's you, tell me if you have anything to say."

Li Site was originally going to ask about the Thieves Guild, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided not to. These information dealers sell information from both ends, and if he inquired, it would attract attention.

The Thieves Guild probably hasn't found Black Sail yet, otherwise they wouldn't be searching all over the east coast. When their people come to Linden City, they will ask the intelligence dealers here if there is anyone who has inquired about them. It will be damn miserable.

It is enough to know from the newspaper that the Thieves Guild is still killing people randomly.

Swann was involved in the Blue Bay Port vote, but did not show up. The biggest clue at present is whether they can find out the relationship between Swann and Fin. However, the Thieves Guild's intelligence capabilities are much better than the Adventurers Guild. This is also It's just a matter of time. Sooner or later, they will find out and find Black Sails, because Fen is the officially certified first mate of Black Sails.

"Is there anyone missing on your ship? I'll introduce them to you."

The intelligence dealer forced a smile and had the professionalism of eating with his mouth. Don't look through it in tatters and pay good attention to oral hygiene.

"Huh?"

Li Site was very interested. There would be contact between the two parties. It was a taboo for intelligence dealers to make money from both sides at the same time. As long as one party paid the money, it seemed that some Sangmen star with a lawsuit on his back was eager to go to sea to find this information. The dealer makes a quick decision.

"don't want."

Li Site refused, maybe he was just a passenger on a boat, which was boring. Besides, there were treasures on the boat now, and people with big cases on their backs could get away as far as they could.

"Captain, that man..." The intelligence dealer glanced around and said to Li Site in a low voice: "That man offered five golden dragons. As long as you are willing to accept him and his brothers, he will give you money. "

Li Site was startled when he heard this, let alone asking for it. He also brought a group of brothers with him. Was it sent by the Thieves Guild to kill people like me?

Fin also became wary.

"Take me to see where they are."

Not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case, Fen decided to take the lead. Ordinary thieves were no match for his number three.

Li Site also saw Fen's thoughts, grabbed the dealer's collar, and sneered, "Everyone at Black Sail is there at Secret Harbor, and Morrison Oaks is not a vegetarian."

"Is the opposite side designated as Black Sail?"

Li Site planned to skin the information dealer soon.

"Master! It's unfair!"

The information dealer knew that pirates like Li Site were desperadoes who dared to kill people on the street, and he didn't know if he had offended them. He was very careful with what he said. Originally, it was a matter of professional ethics not to reveal the employer's information, but now he was spilling it all out. , "Those people used to be military masters, and the leader was a knight. They protected the son of a high-ranking official from the Aram Empire when he came to the Principality of Bema to do business. It turned out that the young master had a heart problem and died of a vicious disease on the way. He couldn't do the job and fled to here."

Li Site didn't think this information dealer was making it up.

"Go and have a look?"

Li Si Te asked Fen to take charge of the staff.

Fen nodded and added to the dealer: "You have to think about it. If you think about it halfway and tell the truth, you can still survive when you get there. If something goes wrong when we get there, you know what will happen."
