Never Fade Skull Flag

"Boss!"

Andler stood on the poop, shouted at Andy, and pointed ahead.

"I met a merchant ship!"

When the pirates heard that they had encountered a merchant ship, they subconsciously took out their muskets, and some went to clean up the artillery on the deck, and then they realized that the purpose of their disguise as a merchant ship was not to loot, but to sneak into Port Modris. .

The pirates all looked at Hawthorne, and Hawthorne looked at Andy.

"Continue sailing, the same direction, full sail, and try to get to Puerto Moderis sooner."

Andy shouted loudly that he had no interest in the merchant ship in front of him, but if the other party's purpose was also Port Modris, it might save him a lot of trouble.

Soon, the Twilight, which was speeding up, got closer to the merchant ship. Andy took a look at Husson's broken binoculars. The people on the opposite merchant ship were a little wary, and they seemed to be on the defensive.

They seemed to be on guard against the Twilight, fearing that it was a merchant ship disguised as a pirate ship.

After all, the Twilight does not have a Chamber of Commerce flag.

"Okay, let's lower the sails halfway, and follow them like this, there's no need to stick to them completely, we're not here for looting."

Andy said to Andler, Andler nodded, and Husson hurriedly went to tell the pirates on the deck and cabin to lower the sails.

Seeing the speed of the Twilight slow down, the people on the merchant ship in front were obviously relieved, and their speed also slowed down, but compared to the Twilight, it was still relatively uniform.

The two ships were on the same route, and it seemed that they were both destined for Puerto Moderis.

"My lord, they hang the banner of the Holy Roman Chamber of Commerce, which is the largest chamber of commerce in the Roman Empire. It is weaker than the Saint Mary Chamber of Commerce, especially within the sphere of influence of the Roman Empire."

Herman looked at the silver cross emblem of the merchant ship and said,

Andy raised his brows and nodded, but he didn't care, after all, he had no idea of ​​hitting that merchant ship.

With the passage of time, the Twilight has come to the coast of the Sapphire Sea, which is very close to Port Modris. If nothing else, Andy and the others can moor at that huge port tonight.

And because it went offshore, the Twilight encountered three naval sailing ships this afternoon, but none of them came over to check, perhaps because the Twilight followed the merchant ship with the silver cross flag.

Anyway, after a quiet and boring afternoon of sailing.

When the brilliance of the setting sun was pouring on the sea, the Twilight finally came to Puerto Moderis.

This is the first time Andy has come to a trading port. On the sea in front of the port, there are hundreds of merchant ships of different sizes and colors. Some are transport ships, with the exception of armed guards, and no artillery or the like.

On the cliffs on both sides of the port, brightly colored naval sailboats were moored. Andy glanced around and found at least ten three-masted sailboats, each of which was the same as the Victory that dominated the stormy seas. , like a huge ocean beast.

The beach in front of the port all the way to the town is full of people, densely packed, most of them are servants carrying goods, and there are also some potbellied businessmen with golden rings on their hands.

Although the trading port is not like the naval port, the cliffs on both sides are full of gallows, hanging the bodies of countless pirates, but it is also full of malice towards pirates.

On the beach by the port, a huge wooden mast stands, with several stripped pirates tied to their faces. Their bodies are covered in tattoos and scars, and they are motionless, allowing seagulls and crows to peck at their bodies.

This is a warning and demonstration to pirates.

The Twilight was parked in a corner, where most of the two-masted merchant ships were. The Twilight was anchored here, and it would not be eye-catching.

The pirates were ordered to die by Andy. Without his permission, no pirates were allowed to leave the ship. Fortunately, the ship still had sufficient supplies and rum. In addition, Huo Sen was worried about his own life. own subordinates.

But even without Andy's order, those pirates wouldn't dare to have fun in Port Moderis, they didn't have the guts.

After doing all this, Herman stepped out of the boat. Behind him were Anna and Margaret who had already dressed in noble girl costumes, as well as the little girl Valina. Behind them, it was a disguise. Andy and Andler as escorts.

When walking to the plank of the port, a half-old man in a black tuxedo suddenly appeared. He looked at Anna and Margaret, his eyes flashed in amazement, and then his eyes fell on Herman.

"This gentleman, these two beautiful ladies, are your daughters?"

"Of course, man, you look like I'm getting old, don't try to play them."

Herman said with a sneer, with an embarrassed smile on the man's face, he took out a notebook and a pen from his arms.

"Okay, then let's talk about business, to enter the port of Moderis, you need to register, and you need to pay the berthing fee."

The man looked at the Twilight in the distance and wrote something in his notebook.

"A brig, no registered chamber of commerce, berthing fee...a gold coin a day, how long are you going to stay here?"

The man sneered. In fact, the berthing price of a merchant ship without a registered chamber of commerce was one silver coin a day, but Herman just made him very unhappy, so he decided to temporarily increase the price.

"Are you kidding me? One gold coin a day?"

Herman's eyes widened immediately, his beard was upturned, and he looked angry.

"This is so outrageous! I'm going to complain to you!"

"I'm sorry, this is not something I can decide, sir, thank you for your generosity, one gold coin a day..."

The man continued, his eyes lingered on Anna and Margaret, and his smile became even stronger. He calculated that Herman was just a small businessman without any background, and it was the first time he came to Port Modris.

Because he doesn't have any impression of this ship.

"One gold coin a day! Damn it, your greed will send you to hell!"

Herman cursed, he put his hand into his arms, it seemed that he had accepted his fate, the man sneered, today he made extra money, and it was enough for him to buy some shiny things to beg those innocent people. Noble girl's favor.

Herman took out the money bag from his arms, which contained some gold coins that Andy gave him. He shook it, and the gold coins made a crisp sound.

The man's face showed greed.

"Ha! You stupid dog, keep your eyes open and see what this is? Want to charge my parking fee? Go to St. Mary's Chamber of Commerce to charge it!"

When the man was about to take the purse, Herman suddenly withdrew his hand. He shook the badge in the other hand with a sneer in his eyes.

"St... St. Mary's Chamber of Commerce?"

The St. Mary's Chamber of Commerce is very powerful because it has the backing of the West Bank Empire. This time it completely made the man who charged the fee lose his temper. He suddenly became cautious, because he knew that once the businessman in front of him complained to the St. Mary's Chamber of Commerce... …

Then he will not end well.

"I'm sorry... Sir, I'm sorry, your boat is free to berth, but you still need to register your identity."

The man lowered his head and said a word, and quickly backed away.

Herman snorted arrogantly and walked towards the town. Andy and Andler looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

They have never been to the trading port, so they don't know what the rules are here.

And after Herman led the crowd away, the man in the tuxedo clenched the quill with a stiff expression, and then wrote a few random names in the notebook.

Completely different from the chaos of the pirate port, although the trading port is equally lively, everything is so orderly.

Andler asked about it, and a few people went to a hotel not far from the port. This is a combination of a tavern and a hotel. There is a rotating staircase in one corner of the hall, and the second floor is a house for people to live in. .

Although there are no pirates in the trading port, the sales of rum are not bad. Many guards and servants of merchant ships, and even the navy, are willing to come and have a drink when they have nothing to do.

However, the tavern here is not as noisy as the Pirate Harbor. The guests at each table are chatting in a low voice, unlike those pirates who screamed after a few glasses of rum.

After Andy and the others walked in, they only attracted the attention of a few people. Most of them just glanced at them and retracted their gazes, and a few glanced at Anna and Margaret, stopped for a while and then retracted their gazes. look.

In this trading port, there are many big businessmen and nobles of the empire, and there are also quite a few noble girls and wives of equal appearance and stature.

Herman asked for three rooms, one for himself, one for Andy and Andler, and one for Anna, Margaret, and Valina. Le and Hermann went downstairs.

They wanted to inquire about the situation in Port Modris. As for the three ladies, they asked for some food and drinks and stayed in the room.

After the three came downstairs, they habitually found a corner and asked for some food.

"My lord, we have now entered Porto Modris. What are we going to do next? You can arrange anything, and I will not disappoint you."

Herman looked around and asked in a low voice.

Andy looked at Herman. He was appreciating this guy more and more now, and even had the idea of ​​recruiting him into the Black Fantasy. Herman's performance these days was very natural, and the Black Fantasy didn't know when, Perhaps the role of a big businessman will be used.

"We're looking for a sapphire, a sapphire of immeasurable value. According to that guy Mog, that gem was kept in a nearby noble's castle."

Andy whispered, he shook the glass and narrowed his eyes.

"What we have to do these two days is to determine which noble it is, and then find a way to infiltrate his castle."

Herman pondered for a while, he thought for a while, his eyes flickered, and he said:

"Maybe I can go to St. Mary's Chamber of Commerce and ask, they will definitely know."

Andy's brows jumped, and he looked at Herman with a half-smile.

"St. Mary's Chamber of Commerce is a good choice, but it's for the time being. Although you are really a businessman from St. Mary's Chamber of Commerce, you were originally a businessman between the Eagle Empire and the West Bank Empire. Besides, you have disappeared for so long. If it appears suddenly, it will always arouse suspicion from some people.”

Herman laughed awkwardly, but he didn't speak any more.

Andler glanced at him seemingly unintentionally, with a dangerous aura hidden in his eyes.

Andy really didn't dare to ask Herman to go to the St. Mary's Chamber of Commerce. The St. Mary's Chamber of Commerce had a lot of money. In the Roman Empire, they would definitely find more powerful priests or alchemists.

For them, it may not be difficult to remove Andy's curse.

After all, the curse Andy unleashed on Herman was not a special powerful curse.

"Old Ford, what are we going to give to Marquis Frank's daughter's birthday dinner in a few days? This is the Sapphire Sea... If you send sapphire, isn't it too new?"

"Then what else can we do? Narui, we don't have the Stone of Destiny, hey, this dinner party, Lord Robert must be the one who is in the limelight~www.readwn.com~ Ha~ Who let the Robert family own several large mines, business do it all over the world.”

"I heard that this birthday party will announce the engagement of Robert Jr. and the Marquis's daughter. Look, the Stone of Destiny must be the Marquis's daughter's birthday present."

There was the voice of two people discussing in a low voice. Andy and Andler looked at each other, and both saw surprises in each other's eyes.

At any time, the tavern is really the best place to collect information.

"head?"

Andler looked at Andy with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I think there will be a lot of people attending that birthday party. That's the best chance. Now, let's enjoy the food in front of us."

Andy laughed softly. He stuck a piece of pastry with a fork and ate it in one bite. Then he looked at Herman and said to him:

"Go and ask about the situation of Lord Marquis Frank, as well as the time and place of the birthday party."

Herman knew that his actions just now had caused Andy's dissatisfaction, so he nodded quickly. He tidied up his clothes, changed a smiling expression, coughed lightly, and walked over with a glass of red wine. The two who were discussing in a low voice.

Herman disguised himself as a big businessman who had just come to Port Modris to do business permanently, so giving gifts and seeking backers was a matter of course, and the other two were also businessmen, and they hoped to absorb Herman into the business Their own chamber of commerce, so they generously told Herman what they knew.
