Chapter 61 Visiting Vikings
Because this auction was conducted with considerable secrecy, even if the participants ran out of money, they were not allowed to leave early. They were to enter and exit together. Although Fang Senyan had lost interest in continuing to participate in the auction, he still gained a lot of knowledge. The finale of the auction surprised Fang Senyan as well. Although he wasn't very interested in it, he understood the implications. It was something called the "Proof of the Overlord"!
In the world of the Caribbean, there are seven Pirate Lords. This Pirate Lord title isn't just something you can casually claim or self-proclaim! You must first achieve absolute dominance in a certain sea area. Then, the hidden Pirate Guild will give you clues, asking you to obtain an extremely difficult and mysterious treasure in your dominated sea area as proof of your overlordship. Only when you obtain this proof will you be officially recognized as one of the Seven Pirate Lords.
For example, Armand's Proof of the Overlord in the Black Sea is a cannon called the Shield of the Caucasus. It is said that the reason Captain Jack Sparrow is so romantic is because his Proof of the Overlord is a living person, requiring him to successfully plunder the ** of a noble lady with a very high status, as well as her heart, of course. Besides that, other known Proofs of the Overlord include the Kushan Dynasty's Great Plate, the New World's scabbard with sun symbols, and so on.
In that instant, many merchants and pirates began a desperate struggle over this item, throwing out vast amounts of gold pounds almost as if they were worthless. In the end, the Spaniard Fernandez had the last laugh. His long period of forbearance finally paid off, and he achieved his wish.
After the auction ended, to avoid any unnecessary disputes, all the guests had to get back into the carriages and be sent back to where they came from by the host. Presumably, this kind of auction had been held many times, and they were used to seeing scenes of fighting break out after it ended. This would inevitably have a certain impact on the reputation of the auction organizers, so they were so cautious.
This auction took a considerable amount of time. When Fang Senyan and the others came out, the sky was full of stars. As he was leaving, Fang Senyan suddenly felt an indescribable feeling. He suddenly turned his head and noticed that the representative of the Gypsies was looking over with a vicious gaze. But as soon as Fang Senyan turned his head, she disappeared into the crowd. Fang Senyan's eyes flickered, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he boarded the carriage.
When Fang Senyan and his party left the city, there were already three or four pirates waiting at the city gate to deliver messages. They all said that the Vikings were getting impatient and impatient, but they didn't dare to act out, but kept scattering gold coins to ask people to urge them.
The last pirate who came brought news that the group could no longer wait and had sent three representatives to Royal Port to find Fang Senyan and his party, saying that they had urgent matters to discuss in person. After hearing this news, Fang Senyan wasn't surprised.
These Vikings actually came to him behind Armand's back, which meant that they probably had something important to say! Fang Senyan deliberately let them cool their heels for a while to see how the guys would react, and that was to test how sincere these Vikings were.
For Fang Senyan, the fact that these Vikings were looking for him was already an unexpected surprise, so he had to maximize the benefits. Of course, this deliberate delay could also lead to the regret of opportunities slipping away, but Fang Senyan was originally betting big on these unexpected things, so he could afford to let the opportunity slip away.
After listening to his subordinate's report, Fang Senyan was stunned. Obviously, the Vikings' reaction was beyond his expectations. He lowered his head and thought carefully for a while and said:
"In that case, Old Sea Dog, go to the carriage shop here and rent a few large carriages for me, the kind that can carry ten people. Give them the full deposit, and don't take their drivers. We'll have our own people drive the carriages."
Old Sea Dog was also very efficient, and immediately went to work. Then Fang Senyan and the others discussed it and waited not far outside the port of Royal Port. Soon, Old Sea Dog rented the large carriages back. Fang Senyan asked his men to pick up the people, and then he waited in the same place.
Before long, the three Viking representatives were picked up by the large carriage. Because of the Vikings' special appearance and dress, the word "pirate" was almost written on their faces at first glance. So they didn't get out of the carriage, but waited directly in the carriage. Fang Senyan had already prepared a barrel of golden rum, and then picked up the golden rum and sat directly on the large carriage.
At this time, the sky had already darkened, but the carriage that Fang Senyan rented was quite high-end, and there were also candlesticks and lanterns inside, which could clearly illuminate the inside. The three visiting Vikings all had the strong physiques and appearances of Northern European strongmen, with messy beards, piercing eyes, skin that had been weathered by the wind and frost, and of course, the strong muscles on their arms and the calluses that had been worn out by holding weapons for a long time.
After Fang Senyan walked into the carriage, he simply pulled out the bung of the wine barrel, letting the mellow aroma of the wine fill the carriage, and then poured a large glass for each person:
"Today, I have something important to do in Royal Port, mainly to participate in the auction held by Governor Swann, so I was delayed until now. I'm very sorry, so according to our customs, I'll start with a penalty of three cups!"
The Vikings live in cold, high-latitude areas, and they need strong alcohol to keep out the cold. It can be said that there is no joy without wine. The wine that Fang Senyan took out was also the best of rum. These three people had been traveling for so long and were also thirsty. Their Adam's apples wriggled up and down, and they couldn't help but pick up the cups.
Who knew that after drinking it, they immediately became addicted to alcohol. In addition, the Old Sea Dog next to them was also good at persuading people to drink. After drinking two glasses, the three Vikings felt that the cups in their hands were too small, and it was not enjoyable enough to drink. So, they simply took off the horned helmets on their heads and used them to drink freely. At the same time, they also touched helmets with each other and hummed a rough and heroic tune.
Fang Senyan was naturally happy to see such an atmosphere. When these three Vikings were already quite drunk, Fang Senyan sighed and said:
"Yesterday, my duel with Mr. Harold was agreed to and actively proposed by him personally. You were all there to witness the entire process of the blood ship duel. I didn't do anything that violated the rules of the duel. In fact, Mr. Harold's strength was above mine. I was just lucky to win. But if you want to avenge him, I can only accept it."
The Viking leader named Rollo shook his head and said:
"Harold returned to Valhalla in a fair duel, so there will be no hatred in it. But Harold is also one of the three heirs of the Asgard tribe, and his relics are very important to us and must be recovered."
Fang Senyan's eyes flashed and said:
"Oh? Which relics?"
Rogg said seriously:
"All of them."
Fang Senyan smiled and said:
"According to the law of pirates, it is normal to plunder the bodies of the defeated to obtain spoils. That is the right given to us by the Pirate Code."
Rollo slowly shook his head and said:
"That's because you don't know how important those things are to the Asgard tribe."
Fang Senyan smiled and said:
"Or can we look at the problem in another way? You take out things of equal value, and your warriors will have another duel with me. As long as you defeat me, you can get what you want."
Rollo said bitterly:
"Harold is already our recognized number one warrior. We have all seen your strength. To be honest, we don't have much chance of winning. Moreover, we haven't been living well recently, and I'm afraid we can't come up with money of equal value."
Fang Senyan immediately smiled:
"Oh, I probably made a mistake in expressing myself. I don't lack money, but I'm also very interested in the powerful combat power of the great Vikings, such as the magical weapons in your tribe, and your unparalleled combat ability. Compared with these treasures, money is completely insignificant. These are all things that I desperately want to obtain."
Rollo looked embarrassed and said:
"But, we are also quite short of things in this regard..."
Fang Senyan shrugged:
"Then there's no way. If you want to take personal property from me without paying any price, then the only possibility is to cross over my dead body!"
Hearing Fang Senyan's firm words, the three Vikings also looked at each other. The fine wine next to their throats also felt extremely bitter and difficult to swallow. In fact, the Vikings were originally a nation that liked to pay with fists and weapons, but when facing a more powerful trading partner, they could only appear so helpless.
Seeing that the situation had become cold, Fang Senyan smiled slightly. He always liked to push his negotiating opponents to the point of despair, so giving them hope afterward would undoubtedly make them much easier to persuade. So it was time for Gold Mine to appear. Fang Senyan was always so confident in the abilities of this slick and treacherous subordinate.
Surprisingly, the Vikings seemed much more relaxed and natural when facing Gold Mine. Perhaps it was because they felt that Gold Mine had no power to restrain a chicken and posed no threat to them. But the Vikings didn't know that almost all the dangerous things in this world don't write the word "danger" on their faces. ro!。
