The Death Knight of the Secret World

Chapter 77 0077. The price of support

In the small room, Alex wasn't too surprised that Beomi had revealed his secret mission!
He can also be regarded as someone who has been here for many years, so his impression of this young man Beomi is actually quite deep.

When he met Beomy for the first time, he clearly felt that the relationship between Beomy and Allen was not the usual master-slave relationship. When Allen made a decision, he even asked Beomy for help. Views.

Therefore, he judged at that time that Beomi was definitely not Alan's follower - he had a fairly good understanding of Alan's quality, and he knew deeply that this guy could not have a follower of this level.

According to Alex's judgment, even if Beomi is a servant, he is still a baron, or even a viscount.

In the following days, he stayed in Backlund for a while because he had to deal with the big man behind the scenes.

Then, he was surprised to find that the Beckman family was taking off at a surprising speed...

At the beginning, his judgment was that Romeo, the eldest son of the Beckman family, had climbed up to some important person.Afterwards, Romeo made a stunning appearance, until it was a matter of course that he became Count Louis' deputy—although he was only a deputy in a new department, he was almost convinced of his own judgment.

And not long after, Mr. Beckman was urgently recalled by His Majesty the King, and then he went up all the way, promoted three levels in a row, from a downcast Lord who was about to become a passerby, to a Viscount in the middle-level noble sequence.

This obviously abnormal change caused Alex a lot of doubts in his heart... This is definitely not something that bastard Earl Louis can do.

Even if someone told him that the scumbag earl who was full of five poisons fell in love with Romeo of the Beckman family and promoted him to the top at any cost, he would not believe it!

Because Earl Louis doesn't have that much energy at all, and his cousin the king won't let him do whatever he wants.

Then just a few days ago, the big man he was relying on actually took the initiative to send someone to contact him, asking him to get a batch of canned food shares through his relationship with the second son of the Beckman family.

This made him wake up in an instant - it turned out that the reason why the Beckman family came to power was actually the very popular canned food in Backlund recently.

He is no stranger to canned food, because he has been to many places during his service in the navy, and even ate a biochemical weapon that is notorious in the five seas and can be called Feysac—— Canned wolffish.

However, when he visited an old comrade who had served on a ship last week, he was also fortunate enough to taste the canned food produced by Backlund.

The sweet and greasy juice of canned fruit, or the crisp or soft taste.The tempting salty aroma of canned beef, the spicy and stimulating taste experience on the tongue after eating...all fascinated him.

At the beginning, he didn't know that it was a good thing made by the Beckman family, and even the secret of canned coupons, which was only circulated in certain small circles, was not shared with him, an unpopular naval captain.

It was his backer who took the initiative to send someone to pass on the message to him, and then he learned part of the inside story.

However, after learning about the inside story, he had other doubts—the Beckman family did not have talents in this field, which he was very sure of.

Because when he just graduated, Elsa of Beckman's family was not engaged yet. When he was planning his future life, his uncle suggested that he and Elsa marry.

At that time, he also studied the situation of Beckman's family carefully.However, in the opinion of Erics at the time, the Beckman family basically had no bright spots except that the previous generation's in-laws were the Baron Black family, so he did not agree to his uncle's proposal.

It has only been four or five years, and it is impossible for the Beckman family to suddenly have a new member with special talents, so he is very puzzled... What kind of luck did the Beckman family have?
However, when he tasted the canned fruit that time, he always felt that he had eaten something similar before... And, it was only recently.

Until two days ago, when he passed by Marigold Street again...he remembered it instantly.

Yesterday afternoon, Alan came over to send him an invitation letter in person, and then he chatted with Beomi on purpose. Ai Lun, a good-for-nothing, also has a big heart, and he directly gave Beomi to him in front of his idol. sold.

However, Allen didn't understand much, he only said that he and Beomi made the can together.As for how Romeo came to the fore, and why his father was suddenly recalled, he was completely confused, and it was impossible for him to disclose it to Alex.

But it was just that a Beomi was related to the appearance of canned food, which made Erics judge a lot of things—he knew that he was right that time.

Therefore, in the second half of today's banquet, he was not surprised at all when Alan pulled him here to meet Beomi under the pretext of urinating.

Even when he saw the pattern belonging to the Sweeper's Office on Beomi's clothes, he was not too surprised—as the former horseman family of the Earl of Birmingham, he knew that his father followed the big man with a My daughter now works for The Sweepers.

Therefore, he vaguely came to a conclusion in his mind: Beomi is probably a vassal cultivated by the Birmingham family, and now he is working in the Sweeper organization. Because of an accidental relationship, he has an intersection with Allen at the South City Branch... …

The Earl of Birmingham, as a super tycoon who once dominated the government and the public, has relatively good vassals cultivated by his family, so it is normal.

Even after Beomi had chatted with him for a few words, he was not surprised at all when she asked about such explosive news about [Slave Catchers]!

It would be strange if the earl's family could bring the vassals out of the house without even this bit of judgment.

"I'm only in charge of transportation..." Alex glanced at Alan who was lying there sprawled before explaining in a low voice.

"Che, do you think I'll believe it?" Beomi said with an expression of wisdom: "According to the route you sailed, the food reserves on board, and most importantly... the total number of people on board, I You can judge it!"

"Captain Lanshere, you are so courageous that you dare to secretly capture slaves!" Beomi said firmly.

Eric's heart tightened, as expected of being cultivated by the earl's family... You can see this.

"I think I've done it very covertly, who knows...!" Alex lay down on the sofa behind him in a slightly slumped manner, and lowered his head resignedly.

"Actually, this is just a very simple word problem!" Beomi shrugged: "You said that you can only stop once every time you sail, and you are still a small island with poor supplies. But the food consumption on your ship is very abnormal... "

"You ran at least a hundred nautical miles on the way, and the place you stopped in the middle should be in the Hanales area of ​​East Balam, because it is the closest to the route you are sailing."

"You should stop at a hidden port nearby for one night, and then send your men to the aboriginal village there to catch slaves..." Beomi drew a simple sketch with the pen and paper on the table.

"Although there are no good natural harbors near Hanales, it is still possible to find one or two temporary ports of call!" Beomi circled two or three locations on the paper, and then used the pen to draw another An approximate area is circled.

"And this area belongs to the dividing line between the Fenepot people and the indigenous warlords of East Balam, so small-scale conflicts often occur, and people will disappear or die every now and then."

"As long as there are local people to respond, you can send a small team of about 20 people, and you can go to a dozen nearby villages to arrest people at night, and you can return to the boat before dawn. Control the number of arrests, and arrest ten people at a time. For about a month, as long as you bring him back to Loen... that would be thousands of pounds."

"Tsk tsk..." Beomi smacked her lips, admiring the courage and courage of the young officer Erics.

"The only difficulty in the whole thing is the local support for your forces. How did you find this group of people?" Beomi thought about it in her heart, and then asked out her doubts.

"It was a small group of pirates, disguised as mercenaries, who occasionally worked for the Fenapot people, and sometimes did some black work for the local warlords. When I was performing patrol and escort missions nearby, I had a relationship with them. Contact." Erics said frankly.

"Then it's all done. With the support of the locals, you can even trade some supplies... or arms with them." Beomi nodded slightly, and finally put together the calculations in her heart.

"You can get thousands of pounds in this trip. In addition to distributing to the people under your hands, you can also pocket a lot..." He casually threw the pen on the table, grabbed the piece of paper and rubbed it. into a ball.

"If it weren't for these foreign financial subsidies, you wouldn't be able to hold on for long. After all...you won't make any money at all by running this trip, and you have to pay a lot." Beomi frowned: "Look The one behind you is simply taking you for a ride."

"It's true..." Alex's face was a little ugly: "Every time I replenish supplies in the middle, I pay for it myself. Once or twice is fine, but I can't bear it after more times. That's why I... "

"You said you made three trips?" Beomi asked.

"Yes, for the first time, I posted nearly 400 gold pounds myself, and my brothers also pooled in some, probably... a loss of more than [-] pounds for one trip." Erics recalled the first time he ran After experiencing the experience of the boat, he shook his head in pain.

"Then the next two times, especially the last trip, you should have just saved your capital!" Beomy thought about it in her heart, and then analyzed: "After all, the last trip was in May, and the weather started to change." It’s getting hot, slave... If the laborers eat spoiled food, their health will be bad, and money will be deducted when delivering the goods.”

"Well, a deposit of five hundred gold pounds was deducted on the last trip!" Erics agreed with Beomy's judgment: "Except for the few pounds of wine money left by my brothers, my share, Throw it all in."

"Hehe, I don't see it, but you really take care of yourself!" Beomi joked.

"I can't even talk about taking care of them. After all...they don't have titles, and they can't be ranked in the navy ranks. They're just trying to make ends meet. If I don't shoulder the guarantee money, their life will be even more difficult." Eric Si looked sad.

"Okay... I basically understand everything about you, and I agreed for him to ask Alan for help." Beomi waved her hand, signaling to Alex that he didn't have to be miserable anymore.

"Thank you very much!" Alex stood up and bowed solemnly to Beomi.

After accepting a salute from Alex calmly, Beomi said, "I'll ask Romeo to get a canned coupon of about [-] pounds. You can choose the type yourself, and I can give it to you in just two days."

"As for your investigation mission..." Beomi shook her head: "It should be over, and I won't let you run away again."

"Really?" Alex didn't quite believe it. After all, his performance on the last trip was really... He couldn't believe that the big man would let him go so easily.

"Don't worry, things like the slave trade won't last long. It's okay to do it once or twice once in a while. If you do it too often, you will always show your feet. The person behind you probably doesn't want to see this kind of thing!"

Beomi comforted Alex: "Your preliminary investigation should have been completed. Letting you contact Alan this time is to test your quality. If you can do it well, you can enter their small circle. It can't be done well...but it's just another person to try."

"There's nothing wrong with the canned coupons, but I personally have a request." Beomi motioned Alex to sit down.

Erics knew in his heart that this was a condition.He understands some rules within this circle very well, and if you pay, you will be rewarded.But if there is support, there must be conditions.

"Actually, it's nothing, just don't get in touch with Alan again!" Beomi stared at Erics, and said solemnly: "I think you understand what I mean!"

"..." Alex was taken aback, and looked apologetically at Allen who was lying there like a dead dog, and then nodded to Beomi: "I see!"
