Chapter 805 The Eve of the Storm (3) Month
"We are going to Xihai Town in Hongsong City," said the Ding Monk and the Dwarf Investigator to Namen. "Your ship cannot be directly driven to Dwarf Island, otherwise it may be targeted by the wizards of King's Landing City."
Namen had no objection to this. Those authorized to travel to the Dwarf Island were all ships from their agent chamber of commerce. If this Yoms pirate ship approached that island, not to mention whether it would be sunk, it would seem too eye-catching even if it appeared near that island.
They are currently located in the northern part of Ramsey's continent and are not too far to the Red Pine City waters on the west coast.
In addition, Xihai Town is an important commercial port in that area, with caravans from south to north. Although there are not as many sea boats as Junlin City, they are definitely not considered small. Therefore, if this ship is slightly disguised, it can sail safely on the waterway.
In less than two days, they drove into the port of Xihai Town and paid the berth fee. Because the ship was also carrying some rum and spices as a disguise, Namen also paid a tax.
Of course, the money was also made by the electric monk and the dwarf investigator. At least before connecting with other electric monks hidden here and loading the goods onto the cargo ships that the Fidewind Chamber of Commerce regularly headed to the Dwarf Island, they must also be with Namenxu and the Snake.
Even before the colleagues on Dwarf Island received the goods, they could not turn against them. Oak Fist and Abrost felt that the group of Yoms pirates might dare to rob the ships of the Chamber of Commerce of the Wind.
When they got ashore, it was the triennial day of inventory, the foreign trade representatives of the Trade Wind Chamber of Commerce, who would bring their books back to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce in Xihai Town, and this coastal town became very lively.
Oak fist sat in the spacious stone room of the tavern, surrounded by carnivals singing and singing, and they occasionally shouted and danced, clapped and clattered. The drummers played a new rhythm. The drum beat made him tremble, like a quartet of a pounding heart, pumping out invisible plasma, and energizing the whole room. The huge brazier scorched him, and also gave the revelers a bright light and shadow, urging out sweat beads. Some people could not withstand such carnivals, and their faces fell to the ground, proving that their stomachs were inferior wine bags. The drunk man looked no different from the dead, and he was carried out by his friends and placed on the bed prepared in advance, which showed a little vitality.
"How long will it take?" The dwarf investigator sitting next to him glanced at him, then sipped in small sips of honey cider from the horn cup, which would flow down a catheter into the dwarf's mouth in the exoskeleton's disguise.
"When they come back," Oak Fist replied: "The electric monks here have already contacted the sea boats of the Chamber of Commerce, but I don't want to wander on the sea for five or six days with a group of people I have never contacted before." Abrosette actually agreed with this sentence, "My mercenary has withdrawn from King's Landing. They will board the ship with us, and then protect us and the goods we have obtained through great difficulty to go to Dwarf Island."
Abrosted, manipulating the exoskeleton, putting a barbecue pie into the burqa, "Do as you said. After all, it's really reassuring to have your own people around you. Also, do we need it before we leave..."
The exoskeleton waved his arm slightly, and his palm turned into a knife and slashed it on the table. "...I think it can be done by the Fidewind Chamber of Commerce," Oak Fist fully understood the intention of this companion, but he still made his own suggestions, "But we can't say it clearly. So we have to think of a reason that makes sense. Do you think it's okay to tell them 'There is a group of Yoms pirates creeping into Xihai Town'?"
The dwarf investigator was eating, but still manipulated the exoskeleton's palm to gesture a "O" shape, which meant that he thought the idea of oak fist was pretty good.
They all know that although the boundaries between sea coachmen like the Trustwind Chamber of Commerce are actually very blurred - they have made guest appearances many times - even if they are really a pirate group, they will not tolerate another group of competitors stepping on their territory.
The door of the tavern was pushed open, and several dusty people squeezed into this noisy paradise. Oak Fist saw his deputy at a glance. If Namen were here, he would probably recognize that the person was the guy who was barbecuing behind the sand dike.
The people walked directly to the fire pit and squeezed away the drinkers who were chatting and roasting the fire. Seeing that these people were wearing guys, the drinkers did not dare to say anything more and leave in shame.
"How is the situation?" Oak Fist made a gesture obscurely. Under the influence of the priest's spell, his voice as light as a mosquito was accurately transmitted to his deputy's ears.
"It's neither good nor bad," the deputy focused on roasting beside the fire pit, and a member of the mercenary group went to the bar to buy food and drink for them. "The heads of Cuimu and Hongsong both ran to Junlin, and I don't know if any agreement would be reached. But there was no movement at the Chamber of Commerce - a inventory of Rizhao was held - I think it was a bit weird."
Abrosette glanced at his companion, and he had just been linked into the conversation, "Dwarf Island is the main customer and supplier of the trade winds, but King's Landing is the same. The loyalty of those people can only be considered ordinary, and we cannot trust them too much."
"So we have to find something for them. The foreign trade representative stationed in Junlin has had a serious problem. Although it is very serious, they still have not lost hope," Oak Fist decided decisively, "and they have to know that the group of Yoms pirates who are appearing on their territory now have the identity of tomb robbers. At that time, they will most likely choose to bury this matter quietly."
"That will only backfire," the dwarf investigator sneered, and then said seriously: "The secret spies in King's Landing City are everywhere. Their fluke mentality is a provocation in the eyes of the Yongxu Zhiscao Chamber of Commerce. The two chambers of commerce will definitely break out in the trade war, and maybe even escalate into military operations. Of course, at that time, the trade wind will soon disappear."
If the rise of King's Landing brought pressure to all the city-states on the Ramsey continent, then the powerful Eternal Scale is the nightmare of all Ramsey local chambers of commerce. Because they cannot resist, they can only accept a series of rules set by each other.
But this does not mean that those chambers of commerce have given up hostility. They just hide it well under normal daily trade behavior. If Yongxu Zhilin sent troops to wipe out the Chamber of Commerce, other Ramsey local chambers of commerce would probably be sad. Immediately afterwards, they might do many irrational behaviors and cause some disputes. War is the ultimate solution to all disputes.
