Chapter 368 Jailor
"The captain hopes that you can pay attention to the forces behind Admiral Iceberg on the Golden Dream. According to the internal information of Black Sail, Admiral Iceberg seems to be from Lunburg. She relies on a certain force or organization, has many channels, and is well-informed. , which is the basis for her treasure hunting at sea."
Edward said in a low voice: "The captain hopes that you can find out what the forces behind Vice Admiral Iceberg are, and what is their attitude and position towards the Kingdom of Loen."
"If we want to grow stronger at sea, allies are indispensable. If the forces behind Vice Admiral Iceberg are not hostile to Loen, to be more precise, it is 'Black Sails', we may consider contacting Vice Admiral Iceberg to thereby A certain degree of cooperation with the forces behind her."
"At that time, you will be a key figure, and you will be an important bridge to facilitate cooperation."
With the movement of drinking, Xifa nodded slightly imperceptibly: "I know, I will see to it, but this is not a short-term job. I may stay on the ship of Vice Admiral Bingshan for a while."
"Of course, the captain also understands this. He asked me to tell you that everything you do will be clearly recorded in your file and become the cornerstone of your climb to the top."
Edward was called away by a guest at this time, and he came back after a while and continued: "Also, the captain wants to know what treasure Admiral Iceberg is looking for recently, if she has any."
Xifa put down his wine glass, smiled and said, "One more glass."
"OK."
Edward took the cup and heard Xifa lower his voice and say: "Recently Admiral Iceberg is looking for the 'Death's Treasure', and Admiral Blood also knows about this news, so he launched an operation against the 'Golden Dream'."
"Currently, the 'Golden Dream' has temporarily got rid of Admiral Blood, and Vice Admiral Iceberg has almost found the 'Death Treasure'."
Edward filled the glass with beer and pushed it in front of Sifa: "Where is the treasure?"
"I don't know yet, she doesn't trust me enough, I need some time to figure it out." Sifa lied without blinking.
If 'Black Sail' knows that 'Death Treasure' is near Sonia Island, then 'Breaker' will definitely come to intervene. Even if it wasn't the 'Breaker', it could be another ship.
As a person with the 'priority right', Xifa does not want to end up taking advantage of 'Black Sail' after a busy schedule.
Anyway, the main task given to him by 'Black Sail' was to find out the forces behind Lieutenant General Bingshan, so Xifa had reservations about the treasure.
It's not too late to report the matter after you have found the treasure and got the things you assigned.
Edward nodded and said, "If you have any news, when you dock at the private port, you can put the report in a drift bottle and throw it into the sea."
After speaking, he spread his hands and said with a smile on his face: "Two glasses of beer, a total of 1 soli, thank you."
Xifa said unexpectedly: "Loen's currency is also accepted here?"
"Take it, they have business dealings with the colony, so Loen's currency can be circulated here." Edward explained in a low voice.
Sifa took out 1 soli from his pocket and put it in Edward's hand. The latter quickly stuffed a thick envelope into Xifa by taking the money.
"This is?" Xifa opened the envelope, and a scent of ink wafted out.
Edward rolled his eyes and said, "Your bounty, yes, they have been sent out."
In this way, I have another 1,800 pounds in my account! This bounty, together with the gold pounds in the spirit world treasure chest, gives me 9,600 pounds. This wonderful number filled Xifa with a sense of happiness.
But soon, his sense of happiness was shattered by the sudden exclamation, cursing, and the sound of tables and chairs falling. Xifa's eyes blurred, someone fell to a place not far in front of him, it was a man in his thirties.
His face was a little pale, his eye sockets were deep, and his nose was big. He hugged his head, and then several feet landed on his head and his body. He went through a beating amid wailing and begging for mercy, before being picked up by a man with a skull tattoo on his arm and thrown onto the chair next to Sifa.
After they communicated in the local language for a while, the assailants left, and the man whose nose was bruised from the beating said to Edward, "Give me a glass of beer."
Xifa stared at this man, he recognized him, he had seen the portrait of this man in Lieutenant General Bingshan's collection room.
He knew that this guy in front of him was one of the jailers guarding Spence. Seeing this guy, Xifa suddenly had an inspiration and came up with an idea that was crazier but more efficient than Lieutenant General Bingberg's plan.
The jailer left after drinking a glass of beer without paying back the money.
"He owed the assailants £3 and he was given three days to pay it back, otherwise his creditors would kill him or throw him in the island prison."
Edward said while wiping the bar.
Xifa looked at him unexpectedly: "Can you understand what they said?"
"When I was bored on the boat, I learned several indigenous languages around here. If you are interested, I can teach you. It is not difficult to learn."
"Forget it, I don't have time."
Cifer jumped down and left the tavern.
He soon found the jailer, who was walking unhappily and distraught, as if he had lost all hope and was in trouble.
Xifa took two steps forward and coughed dryly: "Sir, do you want to earn some extra money?"
The jailer looked back at Sifa, and turned into an alley without interest. However, at this moment, he heard Sifa say: "As long as you do me a favor, you can earn 1 pound."
The jailer stopped immediately. Although 1 pound was not enough for him to clear his debts, at least it could give him a breath of relief.
Turning around, he looked at Xifa and said, "What can I help you with?"
"I heard that you work in prisons on the island. I'm actually a reporter. I'm currently writing a report about prisons in various places."
"If you can let me sneak into the prison, then I will pay you 1 pound, what do you think?"
The jailer thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, it's too dangerous. If someone finds out, it's not a big deal for me to lose my job, and I might go to jail too."
"Two pounds, at least two pounds, I'm willing to risk."
Xifa looked embarrassed, and then said: "Okay, I promise you."
The jailer spread his palms: "Give me the money, and I'll take you in tomorrow."
Like an inexperienced rookie, Xifa smiled and took out two pounds. Before handing it over to the jailer, he snatched it and ran away.
"What should I say, the folk customs here are really simple." Xifa smiled and sighed, and followed him calmly.
So when the jailer returned to the residence, he closed the door panting, and before he could turn on the lights, he heard someone in the dark room say, "So you live here!"
Afterwards, a ball of fire lit up, and flames rose above the palm of his hand. Xifa smiled and said, "Then, let's talk about sneaking into the prison tomorrow."
