Chapter 848 Auction
Bloody Mary Harbor.
Overlooking the past from a high altitude, you will find that the port is U-shaped like a horseshoe and has a unique geographical advantage.
On the hills on both sides, there are many forts, a large number of ferocious artillery aimed at the sea, and there are giant chains and other equipment, ready to deal with all incoming enemies.
After observing Bloody Mary Harbor, Fang Yuan had to admit that it was not only several times larger than the original Port of Dearborn, but even with ten times the manpower, it would be difficult to capture it if he did not use all his strength.
As soon as the Red Lotus reached the safe boundary, there was some commotion on the opposite fort.
Obviously, if it weren't for the red lotus industry fire pirate flag hanging high, these pirates would definitely think that the navy was dispatched to encircle them.
After clarifying the misunderstanding and paying a large amount of docking fees, the Red Lotus was guided by the boat and slowly sailed into Bloody Mary Harbor.
"A lively and dangerous place..."
As soon as he got off the boat, Fang Yuan moved his ears and heard gunshots not far away.
"You kid, don't run away, if you dare to steal something from the head of the black crow, I will chop you into meat paste..."
As soon as he walked out of the port, a thin figure passed in front of Fang Yuan, followed by a pirate wielding a sailor knife.
"Bloody Mary Harbor can't help but fight privately. Only a few places such as bars, hotels, and auction houses are protected by Blackbeard. No one is allowed to make trouble. Violators will be punished by skinning!"
Bill explained to Fang Yuan in detail, and pointed to a huge wall near the port.
The breeze blows, and the many human skins on it are like kites, swaying in the wind.
"This is a good idea. Pirates are a bunch of unruly things... Fighting is completely forbidden, just to make trouble for yourself..."
Fang Yuan nodded: "Let's find a hotel to stay in first, and then spend a day free to inquire about the news of the auction!"
It seems that because of the popularity of this auction, all the hotels in Bloody Mary Harbor are full at this time, and even the price of drinks has increased by 50%.
Fang Yuan had to leave most of the crew on the ship, and only brought the butcher and a few confidants with him, and checked into a blazing hammer bar.
This bar also operates as a hotel, and there are only a few rooms left at this time. Of course, we can't be too demanding in terms of comfort.
To Fang Yuan's surprise, the owner of this bar was a dwarf less than four feet tall, but his arms and thighs were extremely thick.
And a row of dwarf warrior bodyguards standing at the door, all wearing leather armor, holding heavy weapons such as sledgehammers and axes, giving people a sense of security.
Although they had known the news about other continents and alien races for a long time, Bill and the other local beetles still had their eyes straightened. They couldn't help but look a few more times, but Fang Yuan stopped them and cursed a few words.
As far as he knew, the dwarves in this world were not a good-natured race, especially when others looked at their height.
In Flaming Hammer, Fang Yuan and others occupied a table and ordered dinner.
The cooking skills of the dwarves are also quite good. There are barbecues, wheat cakes, and mead. Bill and the butcher are very happy to eat.
Wilson, on the other hand, had a frowning look on his face. It seemed that he would be eager to go out to inquire about the news after eating.
Fang Yuan casually took a few bites of the barbecue, and immediately took a wine glass and drank the mead slowly.
With his keen perception, even the whispered conversations of the pirates fell into his ears in every detail, and he immediately got a lot of information:
"The Pablo Pirates encountered a storm and suffered heavy losses!"
"Blackbeard intends to go to the Golden Sea and fight the pirate prince. His ultimate goal must be to occupy the pirate king's city and become a new generation of pirate king!"
"The eastern route has recently ushered in a wave of fat sheep. It is rumored that a caravan plundered the entire ship of gold and silver from the east!"
"The Octopus Pirates are back, and they have regained their place! Their original third officer, Orlando, is unexpectedly a character. At this time, he has become the head of the pirates, and he will drive them away. The Shark Pirates They were all destroyed, and now they have three big ships, the official bounty has reached 20,000 Galleons, and the nightmare sea is spreading the name of the magician Orlando..."
"I swear, I really saw the Big Octopus and that big octopus on the pier just now! It seems to have betrayed its original owner and become Orlando's contract partner!"
...
Various messages came, but the last one made Fang Yuan listen a few more times.
"The Octopus Pirates, I've heard of them!"
This matter is not as scrupulous as the news about Blackbeard, the pirates were talking loudly, Bill also heard it, and said to Fang Yuan in a low voice: "Their ship is the Big Octopus. It is rumored that the previous leader has the ability to summon giant octopuses. However, I was severely ambushed by the Fierce Shark Pirates once, and had to retreat to the sea to recuperate. Unexpectedly, it re-emerged so quickly..."
A pirate with only one pirate ship is not of the same magnitude as a pirate with three ships.
Of course, Fang Yuan had to dispose of the Mockingjay and Rose Merchant Ship that he owned before because of the short rise time and lack of manpower.
But in the real pirate port, it can be supplemented severely.
The Nightmare Sea is a paradise for pirates.
Here, as long as you are famous enough and have enough Galleons, if you call casually, a large number of pirates will flock to join you.
Although the quality is very problematic in this way, the momentum is definitely bluffing.
"Unexpectedly... Orlando is also here this time. His level should be higher than mine, right? But it's useless..."
Fang Yuan was indifferent to the pirate system in his body.
After all, he needs strength, and he can pray to the main body without any price.
But Orlando had to honestly complete the various tasks he assigned, and experienced countless things before he finally changed his job to become a magician.
'This time, he should also go to the auction, right? It’s impossible to go on like this, Donald’s plan still needs the cooperation of pirates...’
Fang Yuan thought lightly, finished his dinner in a leisurely manner, and announced the disbandment of free activities.
After receiving this order, Bill and the butcher immediately entangled several gorgeous hostesses with bright eyes, while Wilson ran out like a rabbit.
...
In the early morning of the next day, Fang Yuan saw Wilson with a disheveled face, sitting on the bar drinking wine.
"What? No success?"
Fang Yuan frowned.
Wilson has the previous dividends, plus he borrowed some yesterday, and he has already collected a thousand gold Galleons. The money is enough for ten slaves, not to mention one.
"Yes……"
With a bitter face on his face, Wilson asked for another glass of the strongest 'lava', and poured it down hard: "That damned slave trader, Sisfrey, saw that Helga was my friend, and asked me for a price. Fifteen hundred gold galleons! Otherwise, Helga will be sold to the black mine!"
"Come on!"
Fang Yuan rolled his eyes: "After all, Helga is a high-level talent who has mastered the art of navigation. If he is sold as a hard laborer in a mine, he may only be worth a few Galleons, and he will lose money."
"Boss, can you..."
Wilson said with some embarrassment: "Lend me another five hundred gold Galleons... I will definitely pay you back, and Helga, his ability is very useful! Isn't there a navigator on our ship?"
"It is true, but I don't want to be slaughtered!"
Fang Yuan had a hunch that if he came to the door like this, the profiteer might raise the price.
And the backstage of these big slave traders is probably related to Blackbeard, so they are not afraid of anything at all.
"Instead of doing this, why don't we wait until the auction... With that merchant's greed, maybe the slaves will fail in the end, so there is no problem! And I promise, if there is a competitor, I will definitely sell him Grab it."
Fang Yuan didn't want to be taken advantage of.
"well……"
Wilson nodded: "That's the only way to do it, poor Helga!"
"This incident is also a lesson for him. Also, private gambling is strictly prohibited on my ship unless notarized by the captain and first mate! As a way to settle disputes!"
Fang Yuan casually added another rule to the rules he had set.
...
The largest auction house in the port was called Bloody Mary, and it was rumored to be Blackbeard's own property.
When Fang Yuan brought two of his subordinates to escort the auction items, the auction meeting had not yet started.
"You dirty, despicable pirate, you dare to sell me as a slave... I swear in the name of Elizabeth, I will take revenge on you!"
At this time, Elizabeth's face was haggard, but she still looked like an angry lioness.
Of course, in Fang Yuan's eyes, this image is no different from a fluffy cat.
"Miss Elizabeth, your value seems to have exceeded my expectations..."
Fang Yuan stared at Elizabeth, but he meant something.
The marriage of two mere Viscounts actually allowed Viscount Dearborn to break the original rules and eventually led to the disaster of exterminating the family. Of course, the potential influence of Elizabeth cannot be underestimated.
However, with Donald as an insider, Fang Yuan also knew many things.
If it weren't for the fact that the extortion was really too troublesome, he really planned to blackmail Viscount Charlie.
"Your Excellency, I am the appraiser here!"
Just when Elizabeth was still struggling to say something, the door of the box was pushed open, and a well-dressed man who looked like a gentleman walked in and saluted slightly: "May I ask what your entrustment is..."
"It's her!"
Fang Yuan pointed at Elizabeth: "A viscount's daughter, Viscount Charlie who is about to marry Insman... I hope her starting bid is... 10,000 Galleons!"
"Um……"
The appraiser didn't take it seriously, and looked at Elizabeth with a professional look: "A beautiful woman...a mere daughter of a viscount is not worth the price, but if you add the cause of the destruction of Dearborn Port , presumably many people will be interested in her..."
