Chapter 241 Ghost Ship? Kraken?
Chapter 241 Ghost Ship? Kraken?
The huge sound of the sea caused a commotion at the pier.
"What's that sound?"
"Not knowing makes me feel so depressed!"
"Strange, why is there sound on the sea?"
"Could it be haunted? Could it be the legendary ghost ship?"
"Don't talk nonsense, those are all fake!"
Just when everyone was talking about it.
"0$......!!!!"
Another hiss came.
At this time someone found something and shouted loudly.
"Look over the ocean, what's that?"
"What are these two? Is it a ship?"
"It can't really be a ghost ship, can it? I don't seem to see the sails!"
"Whoever has an observation mirror, hurry up and see what it is!"
"Those two things seem to be looking at us!!"
"Monster! It must be a monster in the sea, run quickly!!"
When someone shouted that it was a monster, there was even more commotion on the pier.
One by one, they put down the items in their hands and ran towards the shore.
Will also stared dumbfounded at the gradually approaching boat.
He is sure that he has been running sea and land for more than two years, and he has never seen such a strange thing.
The blank Smith asked curiously.
"What's Verna?"
How did he know what this was? He shook his head numbly.
"I don't know, I've never seen it before!"
Hearing this, Smith was shocked.
Said with a trembling tone.
"Could it be a ghost ship or a sea monster? Let's go to the shore, it's too dangerous here!"
"En! Hurry up and go ashore to see what's going on!"
The two also came to the shore with the flow of people.
The monsters on the sea were getting closer and closer, and everyone was frightened.
Will also took out the observation mirror he carried with him.
(initial version of the telescope)
He was very surprised when he saw that there were many human figures on the monster.
Although the observation mirror is a bit blurred, he can still confirm that it is a human figure.
Only then did the observation mirror be put away again.
Smith asked curiously.
"What the hell is this monster coming over? Did you see it?"
Will frowned in thought.
"That should be a ship, but it's a bit different from our ship.
"Huh...! As long as it's a boat, I thought it was really some kind of monster!"
This is also thanks to his lack of knowledge, anyway, it is something that he has never seen before, so he is not so surprised.
But Will didn't think so.
As a person who runs on the sea all year round.
The first observation is where the other party comes from.
But judging from the direction the ships were traveling just now, the two ships obviously came from the north.
Mouth unconsciously.
"Strange, are there any other ports in the northeast".?"
Smith, who was beside him, naturally heard his words.
"Will, do these ships come from the north?"
"Probably not. You have to know that if you want to get to the East China Sea from the North Sea, you need to go around a big circle. Such a long journey can be done by land, and there is no need to go by sea.
Another point he didn't mention is that the shipping in the north is very backward, and there are almost no decent ports.
Not to mention a ship of this size.
The more prosperous sea transportation is only on the West Sea and the East China Sea.
As the two huge ships entered the port, everyone saw their appearance clearly, so they felt relieved.
The originally crowded port cleared a large area in an instant, allowing these two monsters to enter.
Although it is not clear what the situation is, no one wants to touch the opponent with their own boats.
Judging from the size, it is clear that the other party is not easy to mess with.
Originally, a bridge could accommodate several large ships.
But after the giant ships arrived, only one took up the entire bridge.
The deck of the giant ship is also crowded with people.
It can be seen that this is a human-driven ship.
Will couldn't bear his curiosity, and walked towards the giant ship first.
Smith on the side was taken aback, and hurriedly caught up and asked.
"Why are you going? I haven't figured out the situation yet, isn't it too dangerous to go there rashly?"
However, Will just smiled lightly and said confidently.
"Such a powerful ship, if you really want to do something, you don't need to wait at all. The attack was already launched when it docked just now, it's okay!"
Although he said so, he was still a little flustered in his heart.
It's just that curiosity got the better of me.
On the contrary, Smith was relieved after hearing the explanation.
When I came to the bridge and looked up, I saw that the deck of the huge ship had lowered the ladder and extended to the bridge.
On the edge of the deck of the giant ship, groups of soldiers in black armor and masks appeared.
"hiss...!!!"
The onlookers on the pier gasped one by one!
From the appearance, it doesn't look like an ordinary merchant ship at all, but a ship on which an army rides.
It wasn't until a middle-aged man in noble attire came down the ladder that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
If someone in a general's costume shows up, they're going to get nervous.
Noble clothing represents peace.
At this time, the person in charge of the port also hurried over with a soldier.
First, he was taken aback when he saw the black armored soldiers on the deck.
Then put on a smiling face to greet him.
"Dear guest, welcome to Wujiang Port, I am Quint, the person in charge here!"
The middle-aged man on the deck came to the other party and greeted him.
"Hi Mr. Quint, I'm Ye Guohua, we're here with a lot of goods this time, please forgive me if we bother you!"
When people around heard the large amount of goods, their eyes lit up.
Everyone is looking forward to what kind of cargo will appear on this huge ship.
"Welcome, welcome! I wonder if your goods are sold directly at the dock, or shipped to the city?"
Ye Guohua glanced around, eyes full of expectation.
"Let's temporarily sell it at the pier first. I wonder if it will affect your normal work here?"
So many ships waiting to enter the port, it would be hell if it didn't affect it.
But at this moment the huge ship has stopped on the bridge, and he doesn't care if he has been working for a while.
"It's okay, these two bridges will be used by you today!"
"Thank you very much, I will give a thank you gift to the Lord City Lord here later!"
Hearing this, Quint also showed a smile on his face.
""you are welcome!"
As the person in charge of the port, Quint, as long as there is no trouble here, it will be fine.
As for bribery, he doesn't care about the opponent's military aura, as long as the transaction volume is large, taxation is naturally indispensable to him.
After the negotiation, Ye Guohua waved to the people on board.
While watching one by one soldiers carrying large wooden boxes came down from the deck.
Seeing this, Quint also drove the guards behind him to help clear the venue.
After all, there are people everywhere around at the moment, and if you want to put those goods down, you must vacate a large enough space.
Quint's guards began to drive them away.
"Get out of the way, all out of the way, this place is now requisitioned!"
"Get out of the way, everyone who doesn't want to die, get out of the way!"
Of course, these expulsions are only for civilians.
People like Will and others in noble costumes still stayed on the bridge to watch.
Smith whispered in Will's ear.
"Hey, these wooden boxes shouldn't be light, these people are really strong.
Will also nodded slightly.
"These should be elite soldiers, but I don't know where they came from, and they actually helped the caravan escort the goods.
"Could it be the private caravan of some (Nordwell) lord?"
"Well, there is a possibility."
Thinking of this, Will took the initiative to step forward.
"Mr. Ye, hello!"
Ye Guohua turned his head and looked at him curiously.
"You are?"
"My name is Will, and I'm a businessman. I would like to ask, if you have the product I like, can you buy it in bulk?"
A smile suddenly appeared on Ye Guohua's face.
"Of course, as long as you have enough gold coins, it's not a problem even if you buy all the items in my ship. Everyone, go and see our products!"
Ye Guohua took the lead and strode towards the pier.
Shang Yang on the other bridge walked towards them.
"Guohua, how did the talk go?"
Ye Guohua pointed to a small pier area that was just cleared not far away.
"Wait for the goods in the box to be sold there, let's see the situation first!"
"Row!"
Then Shang Yang shouted to the soldiers behind him.
"Thank you for your trouble, bring the goods here!"
"yes!"
When the wooden boxes are placed neatly.
The soldiers stepped forward to open it.
All kinds of strange things are presented in front of everyone. .
