The Great Age of Voyage of the Elves

Chapter 232 Sheep and Wolf

The person in charge didn't refuse Mu's request, but said, "You are the only captain of the looting captain who has returned for the time being, and the rest of them will return to the port one after another after a while."

"Okay, then I just happen to rest nearby for a while."

The Black Pearl has also been drifting at sea for a while, and it's just time to sort out a wave on land.

Otherwise, the boat can stand it, but people can't stand it either.

The crew were given a holiday, and everyone took their dividends and went to the port to have fun.

Orr quietly went back to the navy to inquire about Siegfried.

Connings went home to visit her sister.

Mu didn't go far, and stayed near the port, waiting for the other plundering captains to return.

Five days passed in a flash.

On this day, the person in charge finally sent someone to inform him that another robber captain had returned.

Mu immediately took Aaron and Riels who were still at the port to have a look.

When they came to the port, they happened to see dock workers busy unloading one car after another from a large ship at anchor.

"So many goods?" Ryles exclaimed.

Mu also frowned slightly.

Subconsciously, he gave the captain he had never met a high score.

Being able to grab so many gains, the opponent seems to be quite capable.

Then he walked onto the pier, found the person in charge arranged by the fourth prince, and finally met the "powerful" captain.

But after meeting, Mu frowned a little.

The other party is a middle-aged man in his 40s, with a cheerful smile on his face all the time, and a very rich figure, just like a smiling Buddha.

Among other things, can such a figure really have outstanding force?Humans in this world don't have supernatural powers...

When Mu brought people over, the captain was still arguing with the person in charge about the value of the cargo he brought back, and seemed dissatisfied with the purchase price from the fourth prince.

However, when Mu came back, he didn't pay attention to this aspect at all.

Because the settlement fee that Mu wanted at that time was not silver dollars, but supplies, precious tree fruits, elf supplements, and everything that could enhance the strength of the elves in the fleet.

It was too troublesome for him to go to the market to buy these things by himself, and he might not be able to buy them, so it was the best choice to exchange them with the fourth prince, so their transaction was very straightforward at the time.

On the contrary, the captain insisted on paying in silver dollars, and he was very careful about the price of each shipment.

It doesn't mean that such a person is necessarily not powerful, but Mr. Mu feels that the other party seems to care too much about wealth rather than strength.

When the captain and the person in charge finally finished their bargaining, Mu stepped forward and said politely: "Hi, my name is Jack, Jack Sparrow, and I'm also the captain of the robbery. Do you have the honor to meet him?"

The other party quickly showed a flattered expression, grabbed Mu's hand and shook it twice excitedly.

"Oh, hello, hello, my name is Ge Ximo, we are all in the same business, we will take care of each other in the future and make a fortune together."

The person in charge coughed twice, and then interrupted Ge Ximo's continued approach.

This made Mu inevitably frown again.

It is really difficult for people to associate this posture of the other party with the strong man at sea.

However, Mu still patiently chatted with the other party, and even made an appointment to go to the port tavern for a drink.

When he left, Aaron asked in confusion: "Captain, why do you insist on talking to that fat man? That man feels like a businessman who fell into the eyes of money."

Aaron was born in a colony of the New World and was deeply poisoned by the colonial company, so he never had a good impression of businessmen.

"The new sea route is too unfamiliar to us. Exploring the sea area around the sea route and finding out the coastal situation on the other side of the New Continent is a huge project. It is always a good thing to have someone to cooperate with."

For pirates, too much sea area is not necessarily a good thing.

Pirates are also human beings, and they need to find an island to rest occasionally. If they are injured, they need to find a place to go ashore to recuperate.

A vast but unfamiliar sea area is also a difficult challenge for pirates.

That's why Mu hoped to find someone to share the burden of exploring this unknown sea.

In the end, he never really wanted to sit at the wine table in the tavern, but after listening to his proposal, Captain Gershmer put down his glass and laughed.

"Hahaha, so, Captain Jack, why do you have to think about robbing so hard? Given this opportunity, wouldn't it be good to grab a few more cargoes and sell them in the New World?"

"Pull goods to sell?"

"That's right, buy a batch of special products and sell them in the New World, and then buy a batch of special products locally and ship them back. Isn't the boat so big for this purpose?"

Mu finally realized now.

"So you bought all the goods you unloaded from the ship at the dock today?"

Ge Ximo said frankly: "Yes, but before I ran the route to the Cape of Moonlight."

"But why do you still come here to be the captain of the robbery?"

Ge Ximo touched the cup, his eyes gradually narrowed.

"At the beginning I had nothing, so naturally I had to work hard, how can I become the captain if I don't work hard?
But it’s different now. I now have a ship, people, and a stable market for receiving goods. I can make money steadily, so why do I have to work so hard?There is only one life. "

Mu was speechless for a moment.

For the first time, he really realized that he and the opponent were not the same from the beginning.

On the way back out of the tavern, he laughed at himself and said to Aaron beside him, "Oh, it seems I'm naive."

Aaron might have misunderstood his intentions, and asked quite nervously: "Captain, you don't plan to go shopping, and then take us into business, do you?"

"of course not."

Mu sneered and shook his head.

"I mean, I was naive. I naively thought that all marauders were hungry wolves like us. It turns out that no matter where you are, there are always more sheep than wolves."

This is determined by human nature. Most people do not lack the courage to fight to the death when they have nothing, but once they have capital, people will start to become conservative, want to seek stability, yearn for stability, and refuse to take risks.

The Captain Gershmer I met today is like this, so why not the old noble landowners and even the seventh princes in the country?

However, Mu is not such a person!

It was already night after returning, and when Mu was about to lie down to rest, there was a knock on the door of the room.

Mu opened the door and found that it was Anderson.

It was rare for the ship doctor to come to him so late.

"Sorry, Captain, for bothering you at such a late hour. I was looking for you during the day, but I haven't been able to find you."

During the day, Mu went out to see Ge Ximo, and later accompanied him to the tavern for several hours, and it was normal that Anderson couldn't find him.

After all, there are no mobile phones in this era.

Mu nodded in understanding.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"It's such a captain. When I collected Nianmeilong's mucus recently, I checked her a lot by the way, and I also talked to her about her eating habits, and formulated a targeted food supplement plan.

However, some precious raw materials need to be used in it, and the overall cost is quite expensive, so come and ask the captain if you need to use it? "

Mu immediately understood that the other party probably felt a little sorry for collecting mucus all the time, so he tried his best to design this plan to make up for it.

"How much will it cost?"

"Based on Nian Meilong's current food intake, it may cost more than 2000 silver dollars a month."

It is equivalent to the rent of a luxury villa with a garden pool.

In that flash of thought, Mu couldn't help recalling several special products recommended by Ge Ximo to himself during the day that could sell at high prices along the east coast of the New World.

However, in the blink of an eye, this idea was thrown far into the sea by him.

He is doomed not to be a lamb seeking stability.

He always yearns for a wolf with sharp teeth and sharp claws!
"I'll give you all the remaining funds, and try to allocate them as much as possible. If possible, I also entrust you with the food supplements for the other elves."

"Okay, Captain."
