Chapter 238 Entry Fee

The wreck was getting heavier and slower, and the speed was getting slower and slower.

It was about to sink completely.

Standing on the shore of the port, Xufeng couldn't help but sweat for Captain Jack...

It would be embarrassing if it fell into the sea.

Captain Jack standing on the mast still had a calm expression.

When the boat sank completely, it just arrived at the trestle. Captain Jack raised his foot and landed firmly on the trestle.

The boat behind him sank even its mast in the ocean, completely missing.

It's as if Captain Jack didn't come by boat, but by riding waves.

Captain Jack walked gracefully to the port, his movements were exaggerated, as if he was performing a play that the nobles of the 17th century liked to watch.

The conflict between his poor theatrical poses and his dirty grooming is hilarious.

But Captain Jack is by no means a joke, he is a true legend of the sea.

Xufeng took a deep breath and walked towards Captain Jack.

At this time, a harbor administrator wearing a wool curly wig and a standard tuxedo hurried towards Captain Jack.

"Sir, please state your name and pay five silver coins to register your ship, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter the port."

As a port, Port Royal, on the one hand, undertakes the function of berthing and resting warships, and on the other hand, charges passing merchant ships.

A small boat costs five silver coins to berth once, a medium-sized ship costs one gold coin to berth once, and a large ship costs five gold coins to berth once.

Such a fee is actually not expensive.

After all, there are always goods on merchant ships, and the berthing fee is not worth mentioning to ocean merchants.

Captain Jack looked at the administrator, and then looked back at his "ship".

The mainmast is completely sunk, where is the ship?
Captain Jack grinned and spread his hands at the administrator.

The administrator looked shocked. This was the first time he had seen such an entry method.

Although the boat is gone, the money still needs to be collected.

The administrator bit the bullet and said: "Sir, no matter what, your ship has entered port, and you must register your name with me."

Captain Jack fumbled in his pocket, and with dirty fingers produced three shiny silver coins, which he deposited in the steward's register.

"How about this, I'll give you these three silver coins, so we don't have to worry about ships and names, okay?"

The administrator frowned and said, "You want to bribe me! Hmph! I am the administrator of the Royal Port of the British Empire! Guards! Guards—"

The administrator was about to shout, when Xufeng flashed over with a graceful figure.

The administrator was taken aback. The register book in his hand fell to the ground without holding it firmly. The three silver coins on it also rolled to the ground and fell into the water along the wooden gap of the trestle bridge.

The muscles on Captain Jack's dirty face twitched slightly.

Heartache.

All his money was wasted like this.

It's all to blame... this handsome young man in front of him!
Xufeng first bowed politely to Captain Jack, and then said to the administrator: "I will pay the entry fee for this gentleman."

With that said, Xufeng took out a golden coin and handed it to the administrator.

The administrator's expression softened slightly, "...But, you still need to register your name!"

Xufeng smiled and said, "I'll give you another gold coin, so you don't have to look for it."

This is Chi's bribe!

The administrator said with a serious face: "...Welcome to Port Royal! Mr. Smith!"

After finishing speaking, the administrator closed the register, and hurried towards another boat that was coming with two gold coins.

Captain Jack said to Xufeng in surprise: "My friend, why can you do it, but I can't?"

Xufeng smiled and said: "Captain, this is not a human problem, but your three silver coins, which are not as effective as my two gold coins."

Captain Jack suddenly realized, "It turns out that the administrator didn't take money, but that I didn't pay enough! Speaking of which, my young friend, you still owe me three silver coins."

Captain Jack pointed to the gap in the planks.

Xufeng smiled and said: "No problem, I will return you a gold coin."

Captain Jack nodded in satisfaction, and stretched out his dirty hands.

The smell on his body was extremely bad, as if he had never taken a bath, and his fingernails were full of dirty mud, and he couldn't bear to look directly at him.

This is the true portrayal of pirates.

Out of ten pirates, nine don't like to be clean.

But this in no way conceals the charisma of Captain Jack.

Xufeng smiled faintly, "How can ordinary gold coins qualify? I will give you a special gold coin."

He finally got to know Captain Jack. If he gave Captain Jack the gold coin now, then Captain Jack would leave.

So, he had to stretch a little bit first.

Captain Jack shrugged, "...Okay. I hope you can fulfill your promise before I leave."

Xufeng smiled and stretched out her hand, "Yes, Captain! My name is Arthur."

Captain Jack grinned, showing his bad teeth, "My name is Smith."

Xufeng said dumbfoundedly: "This is a fake name."

"So are yours."

……sharp!
You really deserve to be a legendary captain!
Xufeng secretly admired her, and had nothing to say for a while.

"...Ahem, Captain, what are you doing in Port Royal?"

"As you can see, my young friend, my ship has sunk and I have to grab a strong and durable clipper," said Captain Jack without concealment.

Xufeng was not surprised by this at all.

Pirates.

How can you be a pirate without a ship?

It's as nonsense as a racing driver without a car.

Captain Jack narrowed his eyes slightly, "You don't seem surprised by this?"

Xufeng smiled and said, "Maybe I can help you."

Now, it was Captain Jack's turn to be surprised.

"You want to help me? Why?"

"I have long been displeased with the English sailors." Xufeng shrugged.

Captain Jack laughed loudly and said, "Heroes see the same thing!"

He looked around, and was immediately attracted by the two wooden warships moored in the naval port.

"How about those two ships?"

"Not bad, it's worth buying."

"Is the small one better or the big one?"

"……small."

"why?"

"The small ones are fast, so you can grab them, but the big ones can't catch up." Xufeng analyzed seriously: "The big ones are too heavy, and you need at least a dozen sailors to handle them, and you obviously don't have that many people now."

Captain Jack smiled in surprise: "My young friend, I really want to recruit you as my first mate."

"It's an honor!" Xufeng said with a charming smile.

Captain Jack rubbed his dirty hands, "Don't rush to agree, wait until we get the clipper first!"

After finishing speaking, Captain Jack walked towards the warship in an exaggerated manner.
