Chapter 385 Arriving at the Black Market
Cook is a very good knight.
Or, having walked in the gray area for many years, Cook also knows how to attract repeat customers.
A few or ten magic coins are not a small number. If this money had been given to the sea lizards just now, this conflict would probably not have broken out.
It can also be seen from here that Cook is also an impulsive, bloody, but also a first-level knight who knows right from wrong.
Such a knight, Sean, is still very happy to make friends and deal with him.
After Sean returned to the ship, he rested for almost an hour, and then Cook set sail again.
Their alchemical power ship has passed the most dangerous giant eye of the storm.
Now is the end of the storm season, and there will probably be no big waves in the future.
Except for the robbers like the sea lizards, who may need to be paid attention to, there is basically no trouble in other aspects.
…
The knights and magicians who took Cook's broken ship were not like Sean, who were all going to Munich.
Almost two days after the battle of the sea lizards, the first passenger began to disembark.
The place where he disembarked was a pocket-sized island in the vast ocean.
This island was very small, and on the surface, it seemed nothing special, and no one knew why this person chose to come here.
However, according to Cook's whispered conversation with him, Sean vaguely heard that the two agreed that Cook would need to return here to pick him up and take him back to Stormwind City in a few months.
This passenger was a male quasi-magician.
Sean guessed, was he going to be promoted here? Or was there any other research project?
As for what the truth was, no one would pursue it.
Since the male quasi-magician disembarked, for a period of time afterwards, there would be corresponding passengers disembarking almost every few days.
The places where these passengers disembarked were also varied, some disembarked in the trench, and some on an island.
Among them, Sean noticed that the place where two senior apprentices disembarked seemed to have many sea creatures living.
Private transactions with the sea creatures were not only done by Sean, but also by others.
Cook's ship fare is not low. Whether the two senior apprentices can make back their capital or even make a profit from smuggling depends on their own ability. It can also be seen from here that the knights and magicians walking in the gray area, regardless of their strength, at least their character and will are not too bad.
Sean disembarked late, including the place where he disembarked, which is also the destination of most passengers on Cook's black ship.
When Sean took Yuli off the ship, not only the brown-robed magician of the same level of strength got off the ship, but also five other people.
At this time, there were only two passengers left on Cook's ship.
Munich is not their destination. They have to continue to sail southwest for about a week.
"When will you come back?" Sean asked Cook.
Because he had a good impression of Cook, Sean also tended to continue to take Cook's black ship when he left the black market.
"It will take about a month to come back. I have something to do." Cook scratched his hair and said.
While talking to Sean, Cook kept glancing at Yuri behind him.
Cook had seen Yuri's strength in the battle with the sea lizards.
Cook envied Sean for having such a beautiful and powerful soul slave.
However, even though he envied him, Cook could not afford such a top-level slave with the combat power of the second level with his wealth.
In addition, Yuri's appearance, gender and degree of submission would increase her value.
Generally speaking, the price of such a top-quality soul slave would not be less than 3,000 magic coins.
"I'm curious, what is on the bottom of the ship?" Sean asked Cook with interest.
Cook showed a trace of difficulty on his face, but he did not hide it from Sean, because Sean was about to get off the ship, and with Sean's soul slave strength and wealth, he probably didn't look down on Cook's things.
A red and pink fish appeared in Cook's hand.
"That's it. We transported 2,700 snail fish this time, but we lost 500 in the previous battle." Cook introduced.
The small fish in front of him was only the size of a palm, and Sean didn't know much about it.
He just vaguely felt that the small fish in front of him had an extremely gentle breath of water elemental power.
In fact, what Sean didn't know was that these snail fish were special marine fish cultivated by specific means. They were the top ingredients that only the advanced sea people in the ocean were worthy of enjoying.
In the past, the trade of snail fish was limited to the major holy towers, the Knights' Hall and the Sea King's Hall.
In addition to the fact that the magicians of the holy towers could use special means to cultivate and produce snail fish in batches, the snail fish naturally bred in the ocean alone was not enough for the advanced sea people in the ocean to consume.
But now, with the advancement of civilization and the deepening of sea people's trade, some large chambers of commerce and organizations have gradually intervened in the transaction.
Cook's approach, to put it bluntly, is to compete with the holy tower, the Knights' Hall and those large chambers of commerce organizations for business.
Cook's trading partner is also very interesting. He did not choose a powerful high-level sea tribe as a partner, but chose a middle-level sea tribe.
The attraction of the snailfish to the marine tribes is common. This small fish contains trace elements needed for the growth of most marine tribes.
It’s just that in the past, this rare fish was monopolized by the high-level sea tribes at the top of the pyramid.
And what Cook did was to open up trade routes among those medium-level sea tribes with good strength.
Sean even further speculated that the reason why the sea lizard tribe attacked the black ship might be related to the small fish smuggled by Cook.
However, this kind of fish is only useful to the sea tribe after all, and the unit price of the snail fish is not high. If Sean wants to study it, he can go to the major holy towers to buy it.
Nodding and saying goodbye to Cook, Sean and Yuli stepped into the black market behind them.
…
Munich City was the name twenty years ago, and now this place is called Sea Wave City.
This is a prosperous city located on a larger island. If Sean didn’t know it in advance, he probably couldn’t link it with the black market.
And Sea Wave City is indeed not a pure black market.
Only when the storm season comes, this is the black market and the gray area.
When the storm season ends, the ocean ships or airships from the Holy Tower and various large merchant groups arrive, and this place becomes a wave city shining in the sun.
It is as white as it can be, a city protected by the rules of the Holy Tower and the Knights Hall.
This natural transformation from gray to white indicates that there must be a sufficient umbrella of protection above this island city.
Sure enough, after landing on the island, Sean soon discovered that this place is different from other cities he has passed through before.
