Chapter 622: Valentine’s Day Special: A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1) (6K)
Holy Spirit Calendar 2685, Summer.
Heaven Port.
The Black Sail wasn’t in dire straits, but in the last ship hijacking, their nearly twenty-meter-long lightweight fast ship was blasted into a semi-wrecked state by the merchant ship’s cannons, with its dragon bone fractured, rendering it unable to set sail, and stranded on the wilderness shore.
They urgently needed a new round of startup funds to purchase a heavily-armed vessel, preferably equipped with thirty-six cannons, capable of blasting with the navy — the Vengeful Goddess.
However, Liszt had his eyes on a Twin-Masted Sailing Ship produced by a local shipyard in Heaven Port. It was love at first sight. The elderly shipwright in his seventies asked for 699 Golden Dragons, claiming it to be his most proud masterpiece in his lifetime, and the person who sails it would dominate the Four Seas.
The shipwright had protection from the East Sea Brother One, so Liszt didn’t dare kill the shipyard people to avoid crossing that man.
Liszt, using his smooth persuasion, insisted on a one-time settlement and offered a tenth of this year’s looted goods to the shipwright. The shipwright saw the Black Sail crew had some potential. Agreeing to a one-time payment of seventy-five percent and long-term profits, the total benefit might be even better, so he slashed the price to 499 Golden Dragons, but in the end, told them to reserve it first and pay within three days.
However, the six of them couldn’t gather that much money.
Rein, who got roped into the East Sea by Liszt, expressed a desire to split. Although the companions in the East Sea all had major cases to hide from and couldn’t return inland, Rein didn’t want to sink deeper and was okay with finding a random job on the island to get by. Especially since he didn’t get along with Glasses, who liked showing off.
The newcomer Wolman, tricked out from an Aran restaurant by Liszt less than two months ago, also didn’t see much future, sharing the same thought as Rein.
Thus, only four people participated in tonight’s action.
