Chapter 838888888. The Secret in the Merchant Ship
Two three-masted sailboats were parked next to an imperial merchant ship, one left and one right holding the imperial merchant ship in the middle.
The two sailboats boarded the sampan and the grid rope ladder almost at the same time. The two teams of fully armed mixed-blood elves guards boarded the Imperial Merchant Ship along the sampan.
The Imperial merchant ship is more than 100 meters long, nearly half a hull larger than the three-masted sailboat.
This sea area is full of coral reefs, and the ships are drenched.
Many hybrid elves were waiting on the deck. When they saw a hybrid elves guard boarding the boat, they cheered excitedly...
The Imperial crew members stood on both sides of the ship, their eyes falling on the mixed-blood elves, and their eyes were filled with unconcealed contempt.
The crew of the imperial crew exuded a strong banditry spirit on their bodies, but they only restrained themselves after the mixed-blood elves boarded the ship, and even retreated to an inconspicuous corner. .
The Empire merchant Moses stood in the captain's room with several merchants, staring at the team of mixed-race elves through the glass window...
He was regretting his accident just now.
Moses didn't expect Roy to be so sensitive to prices.
The ticket price of the two magic crystals is indeed ridiculously expensive, but the other party is a business tycoon who has a large number of magic herbs in his hands! How could you understand the price of slaves so well?
Obviously the other party discovered something.
This time, when he drove over to transport mixed-blood elves, so many mixed-blood elves suddenly rushed out of the guards. He hurriedly asked the mercenaries on the ship to return to the room to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
"This army of hybrid elves is indeed as well-trained as rumored. No wonder the hybrid elves can swallow Kui Island in one bite and beat the gray dwarfs on the surrounding islands to the point where they can't even lift their heads."
The Imperial merchant Moses stared out the window coldly and said to the other merchants.
"Moses, it seems they are targeting us."
The silver-haired empire merchant walked back from the glass window on the other side.
The door inside the captain's room was pushed open, and the Imperial swordsman from the mercenary group walked out of the door and said to several Imperial merchants:
"I think these mixed-blood elves may not dare to do anything to us as long as they are still on the ship!"
He held his hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist, but his eyes were always looking at the hybrid elf guard on the deck.
An imperial businessman said with a bitter face:
"But after these mixed-blood elves are taken to Kui Island by them, our merchant ships will likely be besieged by their fleet..."
The Mercenary Group Empire Swordsman immediately responded:
"Their three sailboats obviously have no combat power. As long as we occupy these two three-masted sailboats, seize all the mixed-blooded elves guards on the ship, and then head to the Lost Sea at full speed, there may be a chance to escape."
The imperial merchant Moses leaned against the window and pointed his finger at the sky outside the window, his voice filled with despair:
"We have no chance, let's take a look at the sky!"
Other empire merchants followed Moses' finger direction and looked at the Quidao Pier, and some people couldn't help but exclaim:
"They actually dispatched a magic airship. What exactly is the ship?"
"It's the griffin knight!"
"I just said not to provoke the group of mixed-race elves on Kui Island. You just don't listen. Now, I'm going to target us."
The empire businessman who was complaining repeatedly was mentally broken and began to complain.
"What did Darwin say at the beginning?
Let us honestly transport the mixed-race elves to Kui Island, even if we send them to the island for free, we can exchange them for the entire ship of advanced magic herbs.
As long as we can use the slave trade path to sweep these magical herbs to the Green Empire, we will make at least three times higher than slave trade.
But you just want to collect the tickets. Now, they have sent out magic airships. This is obviously just to detain our ships..."
The empire merchant Moses whispered, "What's the use of saying this now?"
"As long as they don't let them catch our handle, they have no reason to seize us. After all, behind us is the Green Empire. We are legal empire merchants and we do legal business."
After saying this, the imperial merchant Moses directly pushed open the wooden door of the captain's room.
A group of imperial merchants walked out of the captain's room one after another and met Sabrina who was walking over from the three-masted sailboat.
...
Sabrina, wearing a delicate set of exquisite silver armor, walked onto the Imperial Merchant Ship.
The crew members of the Empire looked at Sabrina very boldly, and the crew members' eyes were not restrained until the merchants walked out of the ship building...
Sabrina said to the Imperial merchants in front of her:
"Welcome to Kui Island. I am ordered to pick up the mixed-blood elves on the ship."
Then, she turned to the mixed-blooded elf beside her and said:
"Welcome to Kui Island, now everyone can board the ship..."
She moved the way below her feet away, and the mixed-blooded elf on the deck walked towards the side of the three-masted sailboat through a shaking sampan.
Seeing that Sabrina did not move, the tense nerves of the Imperial merchants relaxed a little.
When the mixed-race elves pass by Sabrina, they always ask her some questions:
"Are we going to live on this volcanic island all the time?"
A mixed-race elf guard stood behind Sabrina and held up a parasol for her.
Sabrina smiled and said:
"You can experience it on Kui Island first. If the life here is not what you want, we will also arrange a ship to let everyone leave. Currently, there are only mixed-blood elves on Kui Island."
Those mixed-blood elves couldn't help asking:
"Then how many mixed-race elves live on this island?"
"The number of mixed-race elves living in Kui Island is about 50,000!"
"Are the hybrid elves managing this island?"
"Yes."
Sabrina reached out to let all the mixed-blood elves guards around her lift the mask on their helmets, revealing their appearance.
Seeing countless compatriots standing on the ship in armor, these mixed-blood elves walked to the three-masted sailboat without any hesitation.
A special clerk held a notebook to count the number of people on the three-masted sailboat.
In addition, the crew members temporarily placed them. Anyway, the next trip was only two kilometers. Even if they stood in the cabin corridor under the deck, they would have to endure it for a while.
As the Imperial merchant Moses said, the Imperial merchant ship transported over a thousand mixed-race elves, and they could be sent back to the dock from two three-masted sailboats. Sabrina walked casually on the deck. She saw the iron cages covered with tarpaulin beside the side of the ship and asked Moses, the Imperial merchant:
"Can I visit your ship?"
As he said that, looking at the place where the ship was covered with tarpaulin, the Imperial merchant quickly blocked Sabrina and said:
“…The boat is too messy.”
The Imperial merchant Moses explained hard:
"Those are small wooden boats that are about to be eliminated. Many places are rotten and they are too smelly and they are covered with tarpaulin..."
Sabrina stopped and did not keep approaching, but walked towards the bow of the Imperial Merchant Ship.
There were even some crosses on the corners of the bow of the ship. The chains on some crosses were hanging down, and the shackles on them were not untied.
She just took a few random glances, then looked up at the five huge masts on the merchant ship, which were actually dirty and even some hooks were hanging down.
It was obviously a merchant ship, but there was a strong dark wind on the deck.
Although Sabrina did not see the imprisoned elves, there were some dry blood stains in many places on the ship, and it had even penetrated into the wood.
The Imperial merchant Moses followed Sabrina with a nervous look on his face, and the other Imperial merchants were also nervously standing on the deck.
...
Taking advantage of Sabrina's wandering around the deck, she attracted the attention of the Imperial merchants.
Captain Tennyson hid in the shadows and sneaked into the cabin below the merchant ship's deck. As soon as he walked into the cabin below the deck, he smelled the faint smell of the corridor.
At this time, mixed-blood elves kept coming out of the cabin, walking along the corridor to the deck, and then boarding the three-masted sailboat through the sampan.
Tennyson also took advantage of the fact that several mixed-race elves left the cabin and sneaked in.
The space in the cabin was very small, without seats and windows, and the small space was crowded with three bunk beds with upper and lower bunk beds.
These bunk beds only have the most basic bed boards, and the cabin is filled with feet and sour smells of sweat, which are already some other weird smells.
However, the mixed-race elves who walked out of these cabins were at least wearing some decent clothes, and they were also excited and exhausted.
Commander Tennyson checked three cabins in a row, and other Dark Moon Elf Warriors also checked some cabins, but they found nothing wrong.
As the hybrid elves on this level quickly exposed, the hybrid elves walked out of the lower second level...
These mixed-race elves look even worse in their mental state, with pale face and thin skin and malnourishment.
In addition to the stink, there were also some rotten fruit smells in the cabin, but there were no scars on them. I heard that the merchant ship had finally arrived at Que Island and could leave the merchant ship. These mixed-race elves seemed particularly happy and couldn't wait to walk on the deck.
Commander Tennyson hid in the corner for a long time before finding the opportunity to enter the cabin on the lower second floor.
Obviously, the cabins on the lower second floor are not dormitories, but some large flat cargo warehouses, but there is not much material inside. Some wooden boxes were used by the elves, dividing the cargo hold into some areas.
Currently, the women who are crowded outside are mixed-race elves, and there are mixed-race elves men in the cabin, waiting patiently.
Although the air in the cabin is dirty, you will basically see a bucket of water every once in a while, which contains some drinkable water.
All the mixed-blood elves seemed very excited, probably about to leave this almost mixed cabin...
If there are more than 400 mixed-blood elves living in more than 90 rooms on the next floor, the number of mixed-blood elves in the cabin on the lower floor has almost doubled.
Commander Tennyson discovered that the two floors of the Imperial Merchant Ship were equipped with more than 1,200 mixed-blood elves.
There are four other moored on the sea surface to such an imperial merchant ship. If those merchant ships also have the same loading capacity, then the number of mixed-blood elves they brought with them will exceed 6,000...
In fact, for such a giant merchant ship, the lower third floor should also be the first cargo holder, and the lower fourth floor is the bottom seat, and the lower seal seat will be the sealed seat.
The crew on the merchant ship only opened two levels of the cabin, allowing the mixed-race elves inside to walk to the deck...
Commander Tennyson found that the door leading to the third-level cabin was tightly closed, and there were Imperial crew guarding him. If he wanted to enter the third-level cabin, he had to find another way.
In order to allow the normal circulation of air in the cabin, there are actually some ventilation holes in this large cabin.
Tennyson quickly found a ventilation hole in the corner of the cabin on the lower second floor. Unfortunately, the ventilation hole was too small, so he couldn't get in...
But he was on the lower second floor, hiding in a corner of the stern of the boat.
This is the position that is closest to the tail rudder...
Although Tennyson did not find an entrance suitable for him to sneak into the lower third floor, he still did not give up entering the third floor. He took out a knife from his boots with a long narrow dagger on the back.
There are magic pattern arrays on both sides of the blade of this dagger. One is engraved with the most classic "sharp", and the magic pattern on the other side is "piercing".
Captain Tennyson held the dagger, and the blade of the entire dagger appeared light red on one side and bright yellow on the other side. As he stabbed the dagger into the floor under his feet, the dagger actually pierced into the wooden board extremely smoothly.
Unfortunately, he could not cut across, so he could only stab down one by one, and Captain Tennyson's movements were very light.
It was not until he stabbed the floor under his feet, and the holes in the stab formed a circle. Captain Tennyson inserted the dagger back into the scabbard and pulled out a single-sided bladed dagger from his boots.
The dagger was much stronger. He used this dagger to penetrate his energy into the boat board under his feet, slowly pushing the dagger to connect the holes that were pierced together, and then used a dagger to lift the round floor up.
A hole with a diameter of more than one foot was exposed, and it was pitch black and silent...
In contrast, the air in the lower three-story cabin is slightly better.
Then, Commander Tennyson discovered that there was still some sour smell in the cabin on the lower third floor, and there were other smells.
He was like a black loach, and he went straight into the lower third-level cabin along this round hole.
When he entered the cabin, he was lucky enough to find that his location was a room for storing supplies. In addition to a large amount of wheat cakes and dried meat, it also faced some oak barrels. Although the room was not too big, there were at least nearly a thousand wheat cakes, and dozens of boxes of dark red jerky meat.
In addition, there are dozens of round wooden barrels.
These supplies fill the house with the lower three floors.
Commander Tennyson squatted on the top of the wooden barrel, about to look for the door in the room when he heard very slight footsteps coming from the dark cabin.
Then the sound of the door opening came from the dark room, and a little gentle light came from the door, an arm holding a candle.
As the figure squeezed in through the crack in the door...
Commander Tennyson was surprised to see a gray dwarf wearing a simple linen cloth walking in with a candle. The gray dwarf came to the stack of baked wheat cakes, picked up a large stack of wheat cakes, and walked out slowly...
