Infinite Bloodcore
Chapter 219: Buy a magic ship
Water pig slaves are the most important transaction items of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group.
The business was settled, and both the dragon boy and Zong Ge breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, they returned to the dock to watch the ships.
The dock, which had been reduced to one of the main battlefields, is now in ruins and miserable.
There are many ships docked in the pier.
The origins of these ships are complex.
Some are from mercenary groups, some are from chambers of commerce, and some are pirate ships.
In the final period of the melee, Huantong used the beam cannon to cause huge casualties to the enemy. Many pirates were wiped out, leaving many ships behind.
Some ships sank, but most were salvaged and towed ashore.
The ships suffered varying degrees of damage, with some still sailing and others in need of major repairs. Some keels are broken and need to be inspected and calculated. If the repair cost is too high, just discard them and rebuild or buy them.
The Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group is in great demand for seagoing ships.
In the melee, their ships basically stayed at the dock, unlike other mercenary groups or chamber of commerce ships that all sailed out.
Of course, the result of the latter is not good either.
They were first intercepted by spell traps, and then fought fiercely with the Jealousy Pirates. During this period, he was stabbed in the back severely by Hutong, which was very miserable.
In any case, basically all the ships of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group suffered.
When they first came to Double Eye Island, the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group had 12 sea-going ships, including 2 medium-sized ships and the rest were small ships.
When resisting the beast tide, the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group lost 5 ships.
After the melee on Eye Island, there are only two ships that survived and are still usable, and they are all small ships.
Fortunately, there are many unowned ships on the pier.
Before coming to trade with Huantong, the survivors had their sights set on the target.
The average market price of an ordinary seagoing ship is 50 gold. The size of the boat affects the price, with small boats generally costing less than medium-sized boats. Different sea environments have different ship prices. At the same time, the ship structure is also an important influencing factor. For example, the number of masts and sails, the size of the cargo hold, the number of cannons, etc.
Huntong doesn't need these ships. Not only can he not use them, but he also has to pay a lot of money for repairs and maintenance.
In the previous melee, the patrol fleet's losses were relatively small.
One Eye's tactics are to bombard and bombard again.
There is an advantage to being cowardly, that is, it preserves the strength of one's own fleet.
The downside is that one eye has little to show off on the battlefield.
Huantong is not short of ships now, but what he is short of is money. He will try his best to sell these ships at high prices.
He smiled and talked eloquently, and his business talk was consistent and continuous without repetition, showing his true "bargaining strength".
The dragon boy and his group were large in number, but they were unable to withstand them.
Before, Huantong sold the water pig slaves cheaply, but it was due to Zi Di's scheme.
If Zi Di were here now, she could still compete with Hutong, and Fat Tongue would be fine too.
But the current group of people is really no match for Huntong.
Zong Ge was silent, he understood that this was not a battlefield he was good at.
Menshi stared, astonished that Huntong, a cunning and insidious human nobleman, could be so eloquent.
Chi Lai was silent.
The young dragon man could only reluctantly go into battle in person and fell into a disadvantage without any surprise.
"Can I say a few words?" When the situation was difficult, Muban suddenly interrupted.
Seeing an ordinary person interjecting, Huntong felt confused and frowned slightly.
What is his identity?
He is a gold-level, imperial noble.
To be honest, negotiating business with a silver-level mercenary like Long Fu was already a bit pricey, and now an ordinary person actually intervened.
This is offensive.
But Huantong endured it.
If this was his person, he would definitely punish him severely on the spot.
He looked towards the dragon suit.
But the dragon boy's eyes lit up.
He has enough trust in Muban.
On the mysterious island, they experienced hardships together and fought against powerful enemies. They were comrades who could be trusted to support them!
"Tell me, what do you think?" The dragon boy supported Mu Ban.
Muban took a deep breath, spoke slightly nervously, and began to describe the flaws of each sea-going ship.
He is an experienced carpenter and is good at making crossbows. Originally he was not familiar with sea ships, but since he came out of the Mysterious Island, he has read many books about ships.
This information comes from the war trafficker's database and is very detailed and of high value.
Muban not only acquires this knowledge, but also puts it into action.
When the ship was sailing at sea, he also served as a repairman and repaired the ship.
Therefore, Muban is very familiar with the structure of ships.
"This kind of rowing sailboat is a typical tarida boat. Rowing means that the number of sailors must be larger, which brings pressure on transportation and supplies, and the endurance is difficult to compare with a real pure sailing boat."
"Although this ship has a poop, it is actually an improved version of the NEF ship. Initially, the NEF ship was a small coastal fishing and trading ship. Although this ship has been improved, the size has become larger, and the masts have been increased to three, but because Flaws in the hull design make it bulky.”
"This cog boat does look nice. Look closely. It's made of oak and lapped, but it's too old. Look at the moss on the bottom and the shells attached. Even though it's in the melee. It hasn’t suffered much damage, but it can only sail for a few years at most. Any strong winds and waves will damage its limited service life.”
…
Huntong was speechless for a while.
Mu Banze became more and more confident as he spoke, and felt more and more accomplished in his heart: "One day, I can actually refute a gold-level imperial noble, a real lord in person?"
With the help of Muban, the dragon boy finally stabilized his position in the price negotiation.
"Your group is really full of talents." Hutong said with a smile and a deep meaning, "At the same time, they are also very courageous!"
He had to admit that the ordinary man in front of him had certain talents.
But there are actually many talented ordinary people, and they all live at the bottom of society!
In this world of strong men, the primary factor that truly determines a person's status is the amount of personal power he controls.
As an ordinary person, Muban's ability to intervene on such an occasion can be said to be the highlight of an ordinary person's life.
The most important thing is that the young dragon man allows him to give him the opportunity and space to perform.
In the end, the dragon boy successfully bought 7 sea ships.
The two medium-sized ships are the ships of Dragon Boy and Zonge respectively. The rest are 5 small boats.
It is not appropriate to just buy one type of boat.
There must be a match between ship types.
Just like the division of arms in the army, there are long-range and close combat units, each performing their own duties and cooperating with each other. The same goes for maritime fleets.
Small ships tend to be fast and agile, larger ships have more firepower and defense, and medium ships are the backbone and more balanced.
The fleet of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group is not large. Buying big ships will slow down the speed, so medium-sized ships will suffice.
Another reason is that there are few large boats for sale at the dock and they are not in good condition.
After negotiating the sale of seven sea ships, Huantong received hundreds of gold coins.
He still didn't want to finish, and still tried his best to sell: "There are many sea-going ships here, and I can't use them. Let's do this, Captain Longfu, the more ships you buy in the future, the greater the discount I will give you. For the eighth ship, you You only need to pay 45 gold coins, the first gold, and so on."
The dragon boy smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The remaining ships are very damaged. Even if we buy them, we still need to repair them."
"Including the cost of repairs, what's the difference between buying it normally at market price?"
Huntong laughed: "Don't you have alchemy puppets in your group? They can repair these ships."
The survivors once used basic repairmen to repair their own ships.
This information was leaked and collected by Huntong.
The dragon boy shook his head: "Driving these alchemy puppets requires mana, including maintenance materials."
Huntong muttered: "Let's do this. I'll drop another 5 gold coins on top of the previous price."
The dragon boy was stunned for a moment, and after calculating it, he couldn't help but feel excited.
In the end, he bought three more sea-going ships, all of which were small ships with relatively minor damage.
The Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group lost many members in the melee, and they will definitely need to replace them in the future.
But the dragon boy has no intention of supplementing it on Double Eye Island.
Since we are going to Ice Sculpture Island, the people on that large island are undoubtedly better and have a wider range of choices.
Taking this into account, it is still possible to replenish some sea ships in advance to accommodate more mercenaries in the future.
The opportunity given by Huantong is still rare - the more you buy, the cheaper the price. According to Huantong's selling price plan, if you keep buying it, the price of the ship will be reduced to 0!
But this is actually just a trap.
On the one hand, the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group has limited members and cannot sail so many sea ships.
On the other hand, after several actual battles, the dragon boy has realized that ordinary sea ships are at most a consumable in naval battles. The only thing that is truly reliable is the magic ship!
"Won't you buy a supply ship?"
"Look how suitable this large ship is!"
"Once you leave the island, there are too many accidents that can happen at sea. Having one more supply ship like this, carrying more food and fresh water, is very safe for navigation."
Not satisfied yet, Huantong worked hard to sell a large sea-going ship with the best appearance.
The dragon boy shook his head: "We don't plan to sail far, and we won't use too many supplies."
Huntong suddenly smiled: "There is a ship, I believe you will be interested in it. But it may be a bit troublesome, I don't know if you dare to buy it."
Huntong used the provoking method, which made the dragon boy and others interested.
I wonder what kind of ship can make Huantong say this?
The transaction with Huantong was completed in the morning.
After truly obtaining the ownership of the ship, the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group once again used several basic repairers to quickly repair the ship.
Huntong personally witnessed the performance of these alchemy puppets and was immediately moved.
He found that the work efficiency of these basic maintainers was 30% higher than that of normal models.
He proposed to the Dragon Man boy on the spot that he purchase one or two units.
But the dragon boy politely refused.
The basic maintainers come from war dealers, and the survivors don't want these puppets to wander outside, lest they become a flaw that attracts suspicion.
Just after 12 noon, the fleet of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group set sail and slowly sailed away from Eye Island.
They have 11 ships in total.
The maintenance crews were still banging on the ship and carrying out maintenance work.
The dragon boy stood at the pier and said his final farewell to Hutong.
"Lord, thank you for sending your subordinates to transport a large amount of supplies directly to the cabin. This saved us a lot of time." The dragon boy thanked him.
Huntong stretched out his hand and wanted to pat the young man's shoulder, but due to the height, he could only barely pat his upper arm: "We have fought side by side and are comrades in arms. Remember, you are always welcome on Eye Island. I am also looking forward to it, we can have Deeper cooperation.”
At this moment, a group of people broke into the dock, full of indignation and shouting curses.
"Our flagship has been driven away!"
"That's our ship!"
"Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group! Do you want to start a war with our bandage mercenary group?"
"Lord Hutong, how can you sell other people's ships privately?"
The dragon boy was stunned, and his brows suddenly furrowed: "Lord Hutong, didn't you say that the White Bandage is already yours? The trouble I thought was completely different from what it is now."
Huntong laughed and said nonchalantly: "I defeated the powerful enemy and drove away the pirates and fishmen, otherwise the bandage mercenary group would have been destroyed."
"So, the Bandage is naturally my trophy!"
"Of course, I admit that these mercenaries have some stubborn opinions."
"It doesn't matter, there is absolutely no problem with this transaction. I will handle these things well."
"Let's go, the ship has sailed."
The dragon boy looked at the angry bandage group mercenaries and couldn't help but feel guilty, but just as Hutong said, the ship had already sailed.
He had no choice but to grit his teeth, jump up, burst out with strong jumping ability, and jump to the last ship.
Standing at the stern of the boat, he looked at the dim figure on the pier, and his impression of the latter became even worse.
"Captain Bandage died in Huntong's hands."
"The Bandage Mercenary Group doesn't have its only silver-level member, and I'm afraid it won't survive."
"Huntong began to attack this kind of force for his own benefit."
"This is definitely not a just act. This kind of eating is too ugly."
