My players are so fierce

Chapter 621 620. I thought I was playing Savage 6, but unexpectedly I turned around and turned into a red alert again.

"Come on, come on, have a drink, my dear little grumpy friend, look, Handsome Murphy has taken the initiative to raise his glass. He is a governor appointed by the kings of the two countries. This is for you, Chardo How can Hong Kong get preferential treatment from those bullshit steam lords?

The warriors under his command are very fierce, and now they have made a name for themselves in Black Flame Pass.

Let me tell you, don’t ask for trouble for this little guy! "

In the first-class dining room of the "Good Luck" airship, the drunken first mate Claire was trying to persuade her to drink.

This guy in cool clothes was almost sitting in the governor's arms next to Murphy. This kind of enthusiasm was hard for Murphy to bear, but damn Captain Barbro saw that his first mate was stuck with other men. He actually just smiled and continued to drink heavily, not caring at all.

Hey, are you pirates so wild?

But Murphy couldn't push Claire away yet, because the blood-feared first mate was now speaking to himself.

At her invitation, Captain Paula, who was sitting opposite Murphy, was very unhappy and grabbed a special wine glass with a cool robot hand. She clinked the glass with Murphy and drank the wine in one gulp. .

For a good man and a good daughter fighting against the storm, this means that the past grudges have been wiped out.

Of course, the grudge between her and Transia is indeed not attributable to Murphy. Unfortunately, it was that old bastard Salokdar who kidnapped her and damaged her ship. It is too late to take revenge now.

But the Governor knew very well that Captain Paula's unhappiness had not dissipated, just because she did not want to make the relationship between herself and the Blood Terror Fleet very tense because of this matter. At the moment, Captain Pablo and First Officer Claire were obviously on Murphy's side. , Paula didn’t have much to do, at least she had to deal with it in order to save face.

What Murphy thought he needed to put some thought into suddenly took a turn for the better.

Although this turn of events came quite unexpectedly, even Murphy still couldn't understand how the big pirates who roamed the Misty Sea had such a deep relationship with the halfling's serious shipping company.

But since Captain Paula is sitting and drinking with the big pirate, it shows that this "Perfect Shipping" company is not as serious a place as it seems on the surface.

Before he could ask questions, the burping Pablo ignored the airship's pyrotechnics control, picked up a skull-carved pipe and held it in his mouth. He then gestured to Paula, who raised the robotic arm. A flame was thrown just enough to light the captain's tobacco.

In the rich smell of tobacco, Pablo leaned in the luxurious booth and said in a very masculine low voice:

"I guess Handsome Murphy must be thinking about some very unseemly things, such as the grudges between pirates and airship captains. Ha, things are not as complicated as you think.

Before the Blood Terror clan entered the Sea of ​​Mist, the pirate industry already existed and was very prosperous. Port Shardeau was also a prosperous seaport, so it inevitably had to deal with pirates. There was a period of time when the two sides were at loggerheads, but Halflings do have their wits about them.

Especially the Steam Lords, their wisdom cannot be underestimated.

Anyway, they drew a line at it, you know?

No matter who is making a living on the Misty Sea, as long as they do not cross the line of halflings, our ships can dock in the bay near Port Chardeau without carrying pirate flags, and send people ashore to buy or sell some things. . "

"The black market of halflings has a long history. In the era when there was no black disaster, there was already a large-scale black market in Port Chardeau. At that time, it was mainly engaged in the smuggling of certain commodities from the Elf Kingdom of Castile and the mainland."

Captain Paula snorted and explained slowly:

"Later, after the introduction of the 'Maritime Act', the business of selling stolen goods with pirates quickly took over the mainstream of the halfling black market. The higher-ups turned a blind eye to this matter. Pirates relied on Chardeau Port to sell stolen goods, and the city You can also get taxes paid on the black market, and merchants can buy cheaper items.

Everyone was satisfied.

This is a well-established rule. As for how I met Pablo and Claire, this old slut, that is another story. "

"Don't hide it, tell it."

First Mate Claire leaned on Murphy's shoulder and said with a grin:

"Paula likes to pretend to be mysterious. In fact, when she was a child, her father often took her to collect all kinds of rare goods in pirate harbors offshore. At that time, Pablo and I worked with Her father met.

When her father was seriously ill, we even made a special trip to the Far East to bring back precious elixirs from the ancient country of Callum to her father. This allowed the old halfling captain who was very good at things to renew his life for ten years. With a long life, he was able to teach Paula all his skills.

It's a pity that stupid Paula has such bad luck.

On his third independent voyage, he encountered the fourth black disaster. He also encountered troubles in Transia that could not be solved with wisdom, which led to the destruction of the family airship "Hammer". "

"Oh, that's a good ship! The Impact Hammer is a real armed commercial airship. The two main guns at the front and rear and thirty-seven bomb openings are simply a mobile explosive depot."

Pablo also smoked a pipe and said with regret:

"Back then, my Blood Terror Fleet was in big trouble. We were trapped outside the Great Reef Province by a large group of Tidal Murlocs. It was Paula's father who risked being hanged by the Steam Lords and used bombing tactics to help We blasted a path.

That is a life-long friendship. "

"Zhuo, you stinky pirate! Do you also know that you and our family have a life-long friendship?"

Captain Paula finally couldn't hold it any longer.

The irritable halfling female captain clenched her mechanical hand into a fist and slammed it on the table. She cursed:

"I thought I could trust you, but you turned against your compatriots! You forced me to reconcile with this damn vampire. What benefits did he give you?"

The two pirates shrugged and didn't answer.

Murphy smiled, put the wine glass on the table, and said to Captain Paula seriously:

"Transia will really compensate you, Your Excellency Paula. Let's do this. I will instruct my governor to sign a five-year tax-free contract for your ship. During these five years, your airship will not be able to transport any goods into Transia." Lancia doesn’t have to pay taxes.”

"ten years!"

The halfling captain took off his captain's hat, glared at Murphy, and said:

"In addition to the Good Luck, I also have two smaller cargo airships. Are you sure you want to give us tax exemption? Let me tell you, our diligent operation means that your officials will lose a lot of tax."

"This is just petty gain. I want your friendship for something really big."

Murphy didn't hide it. Anyway, now two big pirates who could hold Paula were on his side, so he said loudly:

"As you can see, Transia is currently at war and we are severely lacking in air power, so I hope to use your connections in Port Chardeau to help us get some armed airships."

"That's because you're overthinking it."

Paula guessed that the vampire governor was so humble today because he was asking for it. But after hearing Murphy's request, she immediately lowered her face, picked up the wine glass and drank a few big sips, and then breathed. whined said:

"Every airship in Chardeau Port must be registered with the Airship Bureau under the Steam Lords Council when it leaves the factory. We have a specific scope of business licenses. Commercial airships cannot interfere with the military of various countries, and armed commercial airships are directly under the management of the Steam Lords. .

Especially after the last black disaster, when the lords summoned all the airships to carry out an unprecedented military mission, this kind of control became even stricter.

Governor Murphy, it’s really not that I won’t help you.

Various instruments on our airship require specific models of computing orbs as the core of operation. If we violate the Steam Lord's requirements, we will not be able to receive necessary inspections and maintenance at Port Chardeau.

The calculation orbs on those instruments will record the route of the airship. There is no trick to this kind of thing. Otherwise, you think King Louis of the Plantagenet Kingdom would leave a more convenient airship instead and spend a lot of money to find our body. Do people build railways?

The Steam Lords don't want the conflict from the outside world to spread to halfling civilization, you know?

Unless they are willing, it is impossible to lease military forces such as airships, steam trains, and walking machine corps to foreign countries. I advise you to give up this idea.

No airship owner dares to take such a risk. "

"Well?"

Murphy blinked. He heard the underlying meaning of Captain Paula's words and said:

"So, if the problem of calculating orbs can be solved, there are still many airship owners who are willing to take the risk, right?"

"Of course, war is a very profitable business."

Captain Paula snorted and brushed her long, chic blue hair. The halfling captain with the scar on his face leaned on the booth, holding a small ship-shaped pipe in his mouth and said:

“Young vampires like you can’t imagine how much it cost the Brass Dwarves to borrow our airship fleet to transport soldiers into the Dark Mountains during the Fourth Black Disaster, let alone how much each country paid to allow the airship formation to risk transporting wounded soldiers.

All I can say is that there are actually hawks in the Steam Lords Council.

They hope to profit from acts of war.

And although most of us halflings are timid and neurotic, occasionally some surprisingly brave guys are born, like me.”

"All right."

Murphy nodded. He took out a piece of paper and pen from his luggage and scribbled down a line of words. He glanced at Captain Paula again, twisted the seal on his finger and stamped it, He also asked Pablo to be a witness and put the seal of the Blood-Dreaded Duke on it.

Finally he handed it to Paula.

The halfling captain glanced at the piece of paper, which briefly stated that Paula's freight company would be given tax-free privileges for ten years, on the condition that Paula must bring back at least three ships to Transia within two months that can be transformed into weapons. Airship vehicle.

"You just need to take it to Miriam, and the Archon will give you a more formal tax exemption document."

Murphy spread his hands and said:

"I don't care how many ships your freight company has, this privilege will always be in effect, but for every five additional ships you have, Transia will get the right to use and expropriate one of them, no matter how big or small it is.

As for what we use it for, you don't have to worry about it. "

"Are you crazy, vampire?"

Captain Paula yelled:

"I said it all! The Steam Lords use the Calculation Orbs to control us, there is nothing we can do about it"

"I have thirty-six thousand cracked computing orbs in my hand, and I maintain a pretty good cooperation with an engineering master who can quickly transform the computing orbs. No, an ally!

Trust me, Captain Paula!

As long as you can bring the airship we need, I will find a way to prevent the Steam Lord from catching you!

When those air units that will be re-ordered as 'Kirov airships' are driven by my warriors onto the battlefield, one-fifteenth of the harvest from each battle will be deposited directly into your freight company as a rebate. In Transia's account.

Although we do not yet have a bank here, I believe that this institution will be established soon. "

Murphy picked up the wine glass, raised it to Paula, and said:

"So, happy working together?"

Paula's expression immediately turned to horror.

She didn't quite believe the conditions stated by this vampire, but if it was true, it meant that her poor "Perfect Shipping" company might be able to complete the operation to achieve success in one step today.

What is this called? Bankers.

This is the peak period for business. As long as you stand up, even if you put a pig in the manager's office, you can become a rich man among halflings!

"Ah, no, I can't promise you right away!"

Paula felt her head was a little hot. She put on her captain's hat again and said:

"Give me two days to think about it. You have to understand, Handsome Murphy, this matter is quite involved. I have to convince myself to take the risk, and if I really want to do it, I have to plan a process to avoid supervision. "

"No problem, I'll give you five days to think about it."

Murphy took a sip of wine and said:

"You can first go to Miriam to sign the tax exemption document, and then make a trip to Chardeau Port to transport back to us the various machines and supplies we purchased there.

There are several factories here waiting to start construction. Speaking of which, are the factory owners in Port Chardeau interested in investing in Transia? This is a fertile ground for new life, a real blue ocean market, and I guarantee they will not lose money.

Also, your crew would love to see Transia’s customs and customs, so would you like to land your cool airship?

I want to invite my generals and commanders to board the airship and observe it, so as to have a basic understanding of the war beast that they can control in the future. "

"Of course, in the face of such huge profits, these are small things."

Captain Paula's mind is no longer in this dimension.

She agreed wholeheartedly, and then returned to her captain's cabin to think seriously and rigorously.

A few minutes later, the airship suspended in the air began to descend. Amidst the cheers of the halfling crew, Murphy gave Barbro a wink, and the two vampires came to a more secret smoking place in the name of enjoying tobacco. room.

Captain Pablo leaned against the all-glass viewing skylight in a boss-like posture, puffing away his smoke while looking at Murphy, waiting for his questions.

"Why help me?"

Murphy refused the tobacco offered by Pablo, which was inconsistent with the persona he had maintained.

he asked:

"Do you and Claire want anything from me?"

"Of course, I don't hide that."

Pablo laughed and said:

"Claire is almost dying. If I hadn't been comforting her, my stupid first mate would have used stupid seduction skills to ask you for help. But I know that facing a woman of the level of Grand Duke Tris, she won't do anything. No chance of winning.

We have something big to discuss! A major event related to the survival of the Blood Terror clan.

But now is not the time to talk about it. I must tell you very seriously, Handsome Murphy, Claire and I and our marines came to Transia to join in this terrible excitement not just because of the kindness of Lord Paying.

We have our own troubles to deal with.

That was a very, very terrible trouble. In fact, after we left, the entire Blood Terror Fleet had suspended its activities in the Sea of ​​Mist and stayed in the Blood Raid Port.

It’s not that we suddenly changed our temper, nor that the Sea of ​​Mist suddenly became dangerous.

The Blood Terror clan is in trouble, handsome Murphy.

To escape that terrible disaster, Claire and I took a trip to the Far East six months ago.

We spent a large price that could buy a small principality to get a clear guide from the Dragon Emperor's Qintianjian Stargazer. After we returned to the Vampire Coast, Lord Paying sent a message.

This fully proves that guidance is correct. "

The Bloody Captain blew out a smoke ring, covered his cheek, and whispered:

"You! You can help us! You can save us! We will help you win this battle so that you owe a favor that you have to repay, and only then will I tell you about the trouble of Blood Fear.

I know you will definitely help.

This is how pirates do things. "
