Chapter 68 (1/2)
Zhang Yun and Lucina boarded the boat and waited for a while, then all the passengers came.
When all the people got together, the owner ordered the sailors to sail, and stood at the bow to explain the route to all the passengers.
The ship's final destination is a city nearest to the desert, which is where Zhang Yun and ruqina want to go, but they have to send other passengers to their target city halfway, so it will take some extra time to make a long journey on the sea.
So, what the owner means is that the journey is long, and you passengers had better find something interesting to pass the boring time.
Zhang Yun had a long way to go about this. Although he learned about the general world outlook in the library, there were still many small places that he didn't know. So he spent money to buy dozens of books, waiting to read them when he had nothing to do, and then thoroughly understood all kinds of information about the world.
Boring?
There are dozens of books waiting to be read. It is estimated that we can't finish reading the holy city of desert.
So, in the next few days, Zhang Yun and ruqina either stand on the deck to blow and chat, or stay in their rooms to read, occasionally get together to play some games, or make delicious Warcraft meat dishes.
It can be said that I had a wonderful life.
As for the pirate named ”Hank”, he has been on guard these days. He has never been out except eating and going to the toilet.
But Zhang Yun knows that this guy is not here to travel, and he will definitely start with this ship, because the system introduction has shown all his ideas in detail.
Sure enough, on the third day, the ocean going boat sailed to a sea area full of islands. This guy finally couldn't help it and began to make small moves.
Under the surveillance of Zhang Yun, this guy sneaks into the cabin in the middle of the night, opens his ”luggage” box, and releases a sleeping black Warcraft bird like a crow.
Then he took the blackbird to the deck, released it into the night sky, and went back to his room.
Soon, the day after the blackbird flew away, Hank's pirate Gang appeared.
They sat on a huge black sailboat with a flag at the top, embroidered with special red symbols, and painted a white skull at the bottom.
The ship is very solid and luxurious, with all kinds of defense magic on it. If it is not for the flag with special style, it is easy for people to mistake it for an army warship.
When he saw the pirate ship, the sailor reported the situation to the captain for the first time, and sounded the warning bell of ”danger”.
Suddenly, the passengers on board also realized that something was wrong. They all ran out of the room in a panic and gathered on the deck.
The Captain stood calmly on the platform and said, ”friends, don't be nervous. It's just a group of pirates I'll deal with the pirates. You'll be fine. Don't worry. Go back to your room first
A hostage asked, ”really?”
The captain raised his hand: ”don't worry, I've dealt with pirates seven or eight times, absolutely no problem.”
”Go back to your room first, don't come out, wait for them to leave.”
”I'll let you know when the danger is over.”
Under the comfort of the captain's confidence, the group of passengers who had never seen the pirates gradually calmed down and obediently went back to their room.
Zhang Yun and ruqina also return to the room, but he finally glances at Hank and finds that the boy pretends to be a panicked passenger and returns to his room in fear.
I can only say.
It's amazing.
Pretending to be a victim, I will not be doubted if I continue to take other people's boat next time. I can be the ”eye” of the whole Pirate Group on the shore.
Then select those big fat sheep with more rich people and less professional people, accurately locate and rob details
Not long after, the red Pirate Group's robbery ship got close to the belly of the ocean going ship. The pirates on it took out the hook and rope, threw it onto the ocean going ship, and then climbed along the hook and rope.
They pulled out their weapons and drove to the necks of the surrendering sailors. Then, a bearded pirate, who was obviously the leader, came to the ship, sat on the stool of his head and looked around the crowd with an arrogant face.
”Who is the captain?” he asked
The captain quickly walked out of the crowd and bowed to him: ”Sir, I am the captain. Please tell me what you want.”
Bearded laughed, pointed to the captain, thumbed up: ”ha ha ha, yes, you are very good, I like it.”
After a pause, bearded stopped smiling and said with a little dignity, ”I'll have to charge the toll.”
The captain nodded: ”OK, sir, do you come according to the rules? twenty percent? Can I pay five percent more, please come with me? ”
This is how the pirates on the sea are. Robbery belongs to robbery. They don't kill people. They only collect money and don't rob too hard at one time. About 20% of the owner's income is enough.
Moreover, the owner of the ship can say a little less about 10% of his income and 20% of his income. Anyway, the number can satisfy the pirates.As for the extra 5%, it's actually equivalent to the ”hire fee”. Although it's a little hurt to pay some more money, the owner of the ship will be followed by pirates before this issue. There's no need to worry about the invasion of Warcraft at sea and other pirates. In fact, it's a profit on the whole.
Er
It should be said that
In the case of pirates
It's earned
After ”hiring”, if the pirates are old hands, they will not refuse, because they can not only make their reputation known, but also make other merchant ships ”on the road” like this boss. They don't have to worry about the shipowners reporting themselves, and they won't be encircled by the Kingdom soldiers who turn a blind eye.
In a word, the pirate group that developed this set of rules is really a genius. They rigidly twist ”robbery” into ”hire fee”. Compared with the pirates who steal money and kill people in other places, the pirates here not only have high safety factor, but also earn a lot. After all, most ship owners will choose not to resist and pay money to leave when they encounter pirates.
The pirates in other places know the situation here, and they have tried to learn from the atmosphere here, and set up a ”compulsory escort” to collect the protection fees of merchant ships. However, some mentally handicapped pirates are insatiable and like to rob other people's merchant ships of nothing, so they have never succeeded.
And here, it can be successfully implemented, because there are so many pirates here. If a mentally disabled Pirate Group breaks the rules, it will be immediately besieged by all the other pirates.
Even if you do it cleanly, you will be found by other pirates who obey the rules and then chase you to kill.
So some people speculate that there should be a pirate king in this sea area, and the pirate king has powerful strength and secret method, which can find out the unruly people, and then order other pirates to besiege them
