Chapter 45: A Chance Encounter at the Gate of the Governor's Mansion
Chapter 45: An encounter at the gate of the Governor's Palace
After arriving here, Sheyan had already made clear a few things he wanted to do:
The first step was to sell the stolen goods from Tetuga that he had brought with him. This was a very profitable transaction, which could at least inject 20,000 gold pounds of liquidity into the rapidly shrinking treasury.
The next step is to check it out at the Governor's Palace. Although I know that Miss Elizabeth's gold coin is definitely not easy to get, I still have to give it a try. It is worth mentioning that the curse of the Aztecs attached to the gold coin is actually
It comes from the box containing gold coins. Anyone who takes the gold coins out of the box will be cursed. The gold coins of Turner and Elizabeth were not taken by them, but passed into their hands, so they
Neither of them were cursed.
If Mr. Jack Sparrow has not arrived at Port Royal at this time, Sheyan would not mind paying a visit to Mr. Will Turner, who is still guest-starring as a blacksmith apprentice. After all, he is likely to become the next captain of the Flying Dutchman in the future.
At this point, let’s get familiar with each other first.
In the end, Sheyan's purpose of trying to make money was for consumption. The gold pound was of little significance to the contractor. However, Sheyan had heard from the pirates that there was also a powerful alchemist living in Port Royal.
His achievements are not inferior to those of the previous dead man Mr. Bacon. Sheyan clearly knows that the quality of an alchemist's service is often linked to the number of gold pounds, so he is so keen on making money.
Although the incorruptible Colonel Norrington strictly prohibits cheating, the privileged class that despises the law will exist wherever it is. Whether it is foreign countries or China, whether it is in the Middle Ages or in modern times. As long as there are high profits, there will definitely be
acquirer.
For example, according to Philip's information, this business called "Sheffield" seems to only deal in red wine business, but the boss dares to accept anything... Because according to the exact information, the boss's behind-the-scenes
The ruler is the father of the beautiful Miss Elizabeth, Governor Swann of Port Royal. He is an old-fashioned and kind father, but he is also a shrewd and greedy governor.
Needless to say, there was no need to elaborate on the process of the transaction. Jin Mining used his two magic weapons of frothing debate and crackling abacus without much effort, and made the shop owner submit in a very civilized manner. In the end, the shop owner Mai, who pays attention to politeness and gentlemanly demeanor,
Mr. Kinney still sent them out in cold sweat. Fang Sheyan's account had another profit of nearly 30,000 gold coins.
Just when the two sides were about to separate, Mr. McKinney's seemingly cloudy old eyes suddenly showed a shrewd look. He took out a very fine-looking gold-gilded business card from his sleeve and coughed twice.
Fang Senyan said:
"Everyone, since the cooperation between the two parties has made such a good start, you are already qualified to become our VIP guests. There will be a ten-cent auction tomorrow. If you are interested, you can participate with this business card.
I must add that this is the first time this kind of auction has been held since the wise Colonel Norrington took over Port Royal, and the next one is far away, so there will be something you want at this auction, of course.
, being able to purchase it depends on your financial resources.”
"What do we want?" Brother Black grinned silently. There was no malice in his smile. He just laughed at himself because he thought of the difficulty of obtaining Aztec gold coins.
But old McKinney interpreted the smile of this "nigger" as a kind of contempt and ridicule. As we all know, the politeness of the British is just to cover up the arrogance in their bones, so the old man left immediately
He came forward, straightened his wig, and said in a low voice with a stern face:
"If I tell a few of you that among the goods in this auction, there are twenty brand-new cannons that have just been ordered from Hamburg, ranging from three pounds to seven pounds. Then will this gentleman look down on you?
Are you going to put away your contemptuous smile?"
Brother Black and Reef didn't care, but Sheyan and Mr. Gibbs were surprised when they heard the words "Cannon Cannon". For this era, the effective range of ordinary artillery is only a few hundred meters.
, the cannon has both the ultra-long range of a cannon and the accuracy of a cannon. The range can be almost doubled, but the accuracy is the same as other artillery!
Of course, everyone wants such cutting-edge weapons, but due to the manufacturing process problems at the time, the scrap rate was very high when leaving the factory, and the cost was also high. To put it bluntly, if a III-level ship was completely refitted
Cannon cannon, then the money spent is enough to build five level III ships of the same level.
To be able to get this thing at this auction is enough to show that the corruption in Port Royal is at its root. These twenty brand-new cannons must have intercepted the arms that were originally distributed to Norrington.
At this time, while Norrington was fighting outside, he took it out and put it on sale!
Sheyan's face also became serious:
"I'm sorry, sir. I apologize to you for his ignorance. I'm honored to be invited. I will definitely come on time tomorrow."
Old McKinney's self-esteem was finally satisfied. He held his head high and bowed slightly, then walked away with that classy pride without looking back. After thinking about it, Sheyan raised the invitation in his hand and smiled.
road:
"When he said that, I became really interested in this auction."
At this time, Mr. Gibbs naturally began to urge Sheyan, eager to find and inquire about the whereabouts of his leader, Mr. Jack Sparrow. However, Sheyan knew that if the plot developed normally, he would probably have to wait for two or three days.
God, he will show up when Colonel Norrington is promoted to brigadier general.
The reason why Norrington was promoted to brigadier general was obviously because he had made great achievements in the battle with the Westvale pirate group. Fang Senyan would certainly not tell dear Mr. Gibbs just like this based on his own analysis and judgment.
But for Mr. Gibbs, who had been down and out for several years, even though he noticed that Sheyan was delaying on purpose, he didn't think there would be any harm in enjoying the days of being fed by good wine and meat in the tavern.
Obviously, the Governor's Mansion, located on the hillside behind the port, is the most luxurious building in the entire Port Royal. Norrington, the only one with the same rank as the Governor, is also qualified to own such a luxurious mansion, but he is a strict disciplinarian.
A strict self-discipline guy, his residence is in the military camp and is very simple. Therefore, it didn't take much effort for Fang Senyan and the others to find the Governor's Mansion.
Probably because the security situation in Port Royal is quite good, Sheyan and the others did not find too strict guards here. The only ones who posed a threat were two sailors. They yawned loudly at the door of the Governor's Palace and looked very depressed.
appearance.
However, according to Sheyan's research, it was found that Norrington is indeed a good leader. The average attributes of these two sailor guards who are his direct descendants are only about 30 points. They seem to be relatively average, but they have
The two abilities are really tricky.
One of the abilities: Team spirit level 4 (passive). Whenever a companion is added to the side, the health value will be increased by 10,000 points, up to a maximum of 40,000 health points.
lv4 special effect: additional 10,000 health points.
Ability 2: Ambush lv1 (active). This ability can only be activated when your back is turned to the enemy. Use a firearm or throw a sailor knife to inflict vital wounds on the enemy's back, causing it to bleed and reduce its movement speed by 50%, lasting 15 seconds.
.The cooling time of this ability is 10 seconds……..
The first ability of these two abilities prevents them from being killed quickly, but the second ability allows them to quickly trap you when you want to escape. Fang Sheyan also observed carefully, here
The straight-line distance from the barracks is only one mile. Unless there is a large-scale invasion by the Black Pearl like in the plot, otherwise, once the gunshots ring out in the Governor's Mansion, people from the entire barracks will swarm over within five minutes.
At this moment, Sheyan suddenly saw the iron door of the Governor's Mansion opened, and a young man came out with a long box under his armpit. Every time he took a few steps, he would reluctantly look into the Governor's Mansion.
.
Following his gaze, he could see a beautiful blond girl watching him leave behind the second-floor window of the Governor's Mansion. When the young man turned his head, Sheyan suddenly noticed that this young man was wearing gray socks.
The handsome guy in the kilt and red tie must be one of the purposes of his trip, Will Turner.
Obviously, the pretty girl behind the window is Miss Elizabeth. Compared with her pure and beautiful appearance, it is difficult to imagine that she is so sharp and so good at using her unique feminine charm weapon to...
As for even Mr. Jack Sparrow, she was playing tricks on her.
After Sheyan withdrew his gaze from the second floor window, he saw Mr. Wiltner walking towards his group with a sullen face:
"What are you doing sneaking around here?"
Fang Senyan stood up and said:
"I come from the East. I heard that the Republic of Great Britain is rich in products, so I came here specifically to find some special products and transport them back to the East for sale."
Wiltner stared at Sheyan's eyes with distrust, obviously not trusting his statement:
"Then the place you go to should be the exchange, not at the gate of the Governor's Mansion!" ro!.
