Chapter III Golden Lady

    The pub owner sighed a rare sigh, the heavy rain blurred the difference between day and night, but he had a magical pendant that once belonged to a mage, he divided the day For twenty-four copies, the surface of the pendant has the same number of hollowed-out cells, each with a small but high-quality star sapphire, which glows slightly at the moment of its own.

    There are three more spaces from the next day.

    The storm will soon pass, the captain will summon his crew, nail the mast, sling the sling, scrub the deck, tidy the sails, pack the cables, and both sides of the deck The drain needs varnish, and it needs to pour asphalt into the lift, check the goods, and maintain the weapons. This is an inevitable activity that may last for a whole day, but there will definitely be a ship rushing to set sail that night. The owner of the blunt pub has a good grasp of this.

    There is no more than a tavern in the port of Minamata, but he is a good man only if he can allow the crew to owe him a glass of red wine or Bordeaux. Never misrepresenting the bad debts, they often help them solve small problems, such as collecting unidentified gadgets or introducing one or two theft and assassination businesses. Other pub owners are doing the same, but he swears that he The commission is the fairest in the whole port.

    It’s a very simple matter to ship a guest who is willing to give three times the price, although there is no credible introducer according to the customary rules. The good boss of Jianjian Port should not deal with a guy who doesn't know the roots, but his spending in the Fro celebration is a bit too much. He is eager to restore his purse to its original fullness.

    After the jewels were illuminated twelve times, the first crew stepped into the blunt tavern, then the more crew and their captains, merchants, smuggling Those, rogues, and thieves and bullies are a bit slow and absent-minded. Yesterday, there were a total of fifty Fro priests and ten times the number of crickets in the sacred port. In order to express their respect for Fro, they As long as a silver coin, this is a bit of a shackle that is also likely to come out of the price, it is impossible to reject this temptation.

    After the intense work, they have lost their remaining strength. Many people are reluctant to move around when they sit down. The target used to throw the dagger is empty. Cards and scorpions have been left out, and no one wants to dance, sing or flirt.

    This makes the smoky blunt pub become a rare quiet, everyone is boring, I hope there is a storm to let them see the excitement.

    They all noticed the strange face sitting in front of the stone bar. The man seemed to be incompatible with the blunt pub and even the entire port of Point, and he sat very straight. Dressed neatly, tastes elegant, no scars on the face and hands, fair skin, black hair draping softly behind the back, gray leather cloak elegantly on the left shoulder, a silver-headed travel cane leaning against his thigh on.

    The alcoholic waited with interest, who would be the first to provocate?

    Some well-informed thieves have learned the exact information from the little goblin, this person will soon leave, he will not stay in the port of Jianli to affect whichever The position of the man, his sword industry has tasted a half-ogre, a half-human and a human blood, they do not need to provoke him, and the owner of the blunt pub has already talked with him about business, from him The precious fennel wine can be seen, and this wine may not be available even if it is rich in Jianjian Port.

    but every place has some stupid and greedy people, a man who moves his bulky body and stands up from his position, he used to be blunt The most awesome singer in the pub, until another, stronger and younger person knocked him down. In that battle he lost four fingers and his guts. He didn't dare to provoke other villains. Maintaining his prestige by relying on the trouble of finding a woman and the weak.

    He has long noticed the cloak of the stranger, the cloak doesn’t look good, but you can find out how much it is by hand. Exquisite, the leather is delicate and soft, the hem is embroidered with the same color silk embroidered elegant pattern, used to hold the cloak pin on a smooth striped agate, as big as the sparrow's head, black and gray, auburn The stripes are as clear as the ones drawn, even those who do not know the goods know that it will be worth a lot of money.

    People gave him a passage, and the new guest sitting in front of the bar quietly turned his head to look at it. He found his eyes black. There is nothing inside, just as barren and desolate in the deepest part of the ocean.

    The worm with bristles and claws climbed over his back. He hesitated and wanted to withdraw without a trace. This time no one wants to give He gave way, and this poor pity knows that if he doesn't continue this thing, from tomorrow, he may not even qualify for the blunt pub.

    He had to move on, and the closer he got, the more he was horrified. He saw that the person who had beaten him before was sitting in a hidden and relaxed position, surrounded by subordinates and women, smug and evil smiles, like As he used to, he has watched many people voluntarily or forced to go to the dead end. This is an interesting program, never tired of it, and now it is his turn.

    A signature gold-plated triangulation sword occupies the shoulders of the swelled sputum, and he immediately stands, and his heart is grateful for his inability to describe in words. Fortunately.

    He humbled his body slightly in a gesture that would not cause counterattacks and anger, and after getting permission from the people, he took off the dirty The cap, stepping back, bowed to him respectfully (and took the opportunity to escape the control of the sword), and then can be said to return to the crowd in the crowd without losing the style.

    Replaced the Shuhan station there is a character who can almost compete with the outsiders. He looks dignified and wears a feather and wolf. The golden cap of the wide-brimmed hat, the brown dovetail is very beautifully trimmed, the tail is slightly tilted left and right, the eyes are clear, the lips are not cracked and peeled off due to sea breeze and alcoholism, the black silk shirt with gold-rimmed shell buttons, two flashes The bright belt crossed his chest, and the dagger and long sword were hidden under the purple fine wool coat and the scarlet duffel cloak, which looked gentle and amiable.

    The guards around him took the scabbard of the three-sword sword, their masters went to the bar, sat next to the black-eyed traveler, and the tavern owner gave him the A glass of ouzo, and a small plate of sea salted olives in the middle of two glasses of wine.

    "I am Captain Drake of the Golden Lady," he introduced himself, and gracefully bent the index finger and middle finger of the gemstone ring. Lift your hat: "Trusted, I have arranged the boat you need," he said. "Single room, with windows, clean and soft beds, wine and fresh fruit every day - we set off tonight, Four days later, go to the Tail-Tail Bay, go west along the Brass Coast, bypass the ruby ​​cape, and you will be able to go to the Bibi dike in twenty days.” His pale blue eyes swept in the corner and let himself There is some modest concern in the voice. "In addition, if you are willing, you can go to my boat for the next few hours. In the evening, there are too many things in the port of Minamata that I like nothing to do. I can I don't want those stupid guys to disturb my good guests."

    " Merchant Shipping?"
