Without any hesitation, Dick spoke in a firm tone. He had no affection for Han Muradi, who suddenly showed up to claim to be his relative. He was a complete stranger and had bad intentions. But after all, Hammuradi is a Saint-level master at his peak, and also an assassin with maxed-out agility. If he were to get away, there would be endless trouble. Therefore, the core requirement of the entire combat plan is to kill Hammuradi, and it would be easy to annihilate the members of the Dead Tree Party and the Fjord Pirates. "Lukeya, Rita, White, and Black, the four of you will form a decapitation team. Don't worry about the other minions. Just keep an eye on Hamuradi and don't let him get away. Befa, you will be needed in this battle. I want you to cut off the pirates' retreat from the sea." "Yes, my master." Upon hearing that this combat mission gave her the opportunity to show her talents, Befa seemed very happy. Previously, as Dick's intentionally hidden "trump card", Befa either did not participate in general combat operations, or stayed as the general reserve and could only watch the other sisters take action. And in this operation, because of the need for naval warfare, Befa must appear. After the meeting, everyone went their separate ways to prepare. On Hamuradi's side, he called Yitzhak and told him the way to make money that he had learned from Dick, and asked him if the profits were really that high? After hearing this, Yitzhak's expression suddenly became shocked.
"Sir, if he really has the ability to produce diacetylmorphine on a large scale, then this is indeed a way to make a fortune that can earn huge profits, even more than he said!" Isaac knew that although there were addictive poisons in this world, their irritation was nothing compared to the advanced chemical creations on Earth. But the question was, where did he get the rice husk flower as the raw material? What about the relevant production technology? "He said these things were brought from Earth by his female doctor." "what!?" Isaac knew that when this world summoned Earthlings, in addition to the clothes and personal belongings of the summoned person, even the things in their hands, as long as they were not too large, could be brought along. Like when Isaac was summoned, he brought a pistol with him. However, the gun later ran out of bullets and became a small ornament displayed on Count Hoffmann's bookshelf. It is worth mentioning that the process of crossing seems to be affected by strong electromagnetic effects, and electronic products such as mobile phones and notebooks will be scrapped on the spot the moment of crossing. So theoretically speaking, if the female doctor was really a practitioner in this field and happened to have a handful of rice husk flower seeds in her hands when she traveled through time, she would indeed be able to resume her old job here. Dick certainly didn't have that kind of thing that would bring endless trouble, but he lied to Hamuradi and said he did, and even defamed Marikawa Shizuka's innocence, portraying her as a femme fatale. He took advantage of the information gap between the two sides and successfully fooled Hamuradi. The other party may not believe it completely, but greed will make him act out of curiosity. Dick painted a big picture for Hammuradi, saying that he had people with both flowers and technology, and the first batch of goods was being produced, but he lacked channels for freight and sales, so he wanted to connect with the Fjord Pirates. Dick said that he disliked the slow efficiency of land transportation and did not want to sell near the doorstep, so he hoped to cooperate with pirates who had ships and ship the goods to the richer south to sell, so that he could make more money. He had previously suppressed bandits and robbers because the existence of those guys would damage his own interests, but there was a possibility of cooperation between him and the pirates, he just lacked a middleman who could act as a go-between, so he hoped that his grandfather could help him. Dick will also return the favor by providing financial assistance to the Dead Tree Party, or simply hand over the sales part entirely to the Dead Tree Party, so that he can focus on sourcing goods. Dick spoke very logically and painted a rosy picture of the future. Even if Hammuradi was suspicious, he couldn't help but be tempted by the staggering profits. Moreover, during the negotiations between the two parties, Hamradi tentatively expressed that he wanted to upgrade from a middleman to a broker. Dick could hand over the goods to him and he would negotiate with the fjord pirates. But Dick insisted on holding a three-party meeting to discuss the distribution of interests in the three links of production, transportation and sales in person, otherwise the cooperation would be difficult to carry out. Dick's appropriate caution not only did not arouse Hamuradi's suspicion, but made him more convinced that Dick really had something in his hand!
084. Black eats black eats black The pirates entrenched in the northern fjord of Lagog were a well-known "illegal group" in the northern border of the empire, and they had connections in both the black and white worlds. Because their main business was not robbery, but armed smuggling at sea. Among them, the largest and most powerful Sea Tiger Gang is said to have more than a dozen sailboats. Their boss Tiger calls himself the "King of the North Sea" and runs a slave trade that is lucrative. The Hesse Empire and its surrounding countries all allowed the slave trade. It was not illegal to do this business, but the royal family would impose heavy taxes on it. In addition, the empire had many restrictions on the source of slaves. There were three main sources: former civilians who voluntarily sold themselves into slavery, criminals who committed crimes but were unable to pay compensation, and enemy soldiers and civilians captured in war. Similarly, not just anyone can become a slave trader. One needs to hold an official qualification certificate from the country where he or she is from. There is an upper limit on the total number of certificates. How many people want to become a slave trader but don't have the opportunity to do so! Under these restrictions, illegal slave traders appear to be profitable, and in many cases, licensed and unlicensed slave traders are not in a competitive relationship, but rather work together in collusion. The Sea Tiger Gang was such a group of pirates and slave traders, and one thing they were famous for in the industry was that they could always get good stuff like elven slaves, most of which were sold to the Maple Dew Kingdom. As a result, they made extremely lucrative profits, and their wealth was far beyond what the bandits on land could match. This made Dick curious. The Sea Tiger Gang was always able to get elf slaves, but they were colluding with the Dead Tree Gang, a group of elf restorationists. It was terrifying to think about it! Using non-existent drugs as bait, Dick tricked Hammuradi into being a middleman and introduced him to the Pirate Alliance of the Fjord. Dick said he wanted to develop his territory, but the population of Laguge was seriously insufficient, so he wanted to use the pirate ships to buy a large number of cheap and useful slaves. There is not much doubt in this statement, because there are indeed many territories operating plantations that require a steady supply of slaves. During this period, Dick talked to his "good grandfather" almost every day, constantly pushing and testing the other party. Although Hammuradi was greedy, his prudence was unquestionable. He proposed several times to "visit" Dick's plantation and pharmaceutical factory, but was rejected by Dick one by one. In order to prevent the other party from doubting its authenticity, Dick actually gave the other party a small bag of "sample" and asked Hamradi to give it to the "knowledgeable people" around him for tasting. Dick got this small packet of samples by chance three years ago. At that time, he was still studying at the Magic Academy, and there was an elective course that taught summoning. As a result, in the class that day, the teacher who was demonstrating on the spot summoned a pale-faced North American Mexican. A few minutes after the other party was summoned, his face changed drastically, and he fell to the ground with convulsions and foam at the mouth and died, which scared many students present at the time. No one had ever seen such a miserable and weird death. In order to find out the cause of death, the college performed an autopsy on the man. Dick had already vaguely guessed what was going on, that the man was most likely a drug dealer's "mule", so he secretly bribed the teacher in charge of the autopsy and got a portion of the "autopsy material", thinking that it might be useful in the future. So Hamradi got the sample and brought it back to Yitzhak for tasting. After he just sniffed it, he said with a look of delight... This stuff is very pure! In this way, Hamuradi was completely trapped and agreed to be the middleman. The two parties agreed to meet at the edge of the dangerous Black Forest. Dick finally met a member of the Sea Tiger Gang, who called himself "Warren". It is worth mentioning that as soon as the two sides met, Dick found that Warren was hostile to him, and he looked at him with a gloomy and fierce look, as if he met an enemy. When he learned that the other party was the second in command of the Sea Tiger Gang, Dick remembered that the leader of the Blood Wolf Gang that they had wiped out before, Woluf, had said that he had a cousin who was the second in command of the Sea Tiger Gang. Dick thought that Tiger from the Sea Tiger Gang didn't seem very sincere in sending this man to negotiate. And the situation was exactly as Dick had expected. Second in command Warren showed no respect in front of Dick. He said that they could do business, but he did not agree with Dick's proposal to divide the overall profits equally, and the Sea Tiger Gang wanted to take the largest share. Dick listened with a smile on his face, then turned and left without saying anything. Seeing this, Han Muradi, who was standing by, hurried forward and grabbed him. "Dick, why are you..." "Grandpa, this guy is insincere, he wants to cheat us!" "You can sell it if you want. If you have the ability, you can get a boat to transport it yourself!"
Warren was still being sarcastic, with an expression that seemed to have already figured out Dick. In fact, Dick did not yet know the exact whereabouts of the Sea Tiger Gang's fleet, so he wanted to use Hamuradi to fish. But this did not mean that he had to beg the other party to do business with him during the negotiation. Sometimes being too soft can make you look suspicious. So the first negotiation ended abruptly and unhappily, which put Hamradi, the middleman, in a dilemma. Not long after Dick returned to the castle, sisters Kasumi and Ayane reported that they had tracked down Warren and his companions to the river, where they had boarded a longboat and sailed downstream to the sea. Befa, who had been on standby nearby, immediately attacked in ship form and is currently following the opponent to see if he can find the location of the Sea Tiger Gang's lair. As a ship girl, Belfa's combat effectiveness at sea is unquestionable. Even if the sailors of the pirate longship rowed their oars until smoke came out, they could not be faster than Belfa, who could run at 33 knots. But this was an isolated "ship" operation after all, and Befa had no teammates to support him, so Dick was very worried that something unexpected might happen. If he didn't have enough high-level magic stones on hand, Dick really wanted to summon one or two more groups of ship girls so that he would have a "fleet" available. But at this moment, the magic communication card on the table lit up. After Dick answered the call, Hamuradi's slightly apologetic voice came from the other side. "Grandson, don't take today's incident too seriously. The Sea Tigers, those rude pirates, always ask for a sky-high price. I didn't expect them to not even give face to our Dead Tree Party. Next, I will go and negotiate with their boss Tiger." "I understand all this. I have absolute, 100% trust in you, Grandpa." "I'm really happy that you trust me so much." "Oh, by the way, grandpa, your grandson's magic practice has hit a bottleneck recently. I wonder if you have any high-level magic stones? Can you lend me 20 or 30 yuan for emergency? When I have money from the goods, I will definitely pay you back double!" 085. The Prototype of the Navy "I began to understand why the Dead Tree Party could not develop." In the castle office, looking at the whole box of high-level magic stones he had just received, no matter how hard Dick tried to keep himself calm, the corners of his mouth still unconsciously rose slightly. This cheap grandpa of his is a very nice person! Speaking of which, during this period of contact, Dick has gradually figured out Hammuradi's character. Although this man has high combat power, a cautious and cunning personality, he is not smart enough because of his old-fashioned arrogance. This gives Dick reason to suspect that his suspicion is probably caused by PTSD after suffering too many losses! A total of twenty high-level magic stones, these things alone are worth twenty thousand gold coins. The amount of money was not too much, but it was not too little either. The key point was that the high-level magic stone was a strategic material under the official control of the empire. It was often out of stock, and you couldn't buy it even if you had money. As a result, after being fooled by Dick, Hammuradi really handed it over. Although the Dead Tree Party was in decline, they still had some wealth. This made Dick look forward to how much good things he could get from the other side before they fell out. Dick could see that Hammuradi really wanted to win him over. After all, the value he had shown was enough to attract people. As the governor of a fiefdom, he governed a vast territory rich in resources, had many Earth elites and Saint-level masters around him, and also had "ways to make a lot of money." It is precisely because of these attractive conditions that an old elf like Hamuradi can selectively ignore the issue of bloodline and call Dick "good grandson" very affectionately! After getting these twenty high-level magic stones, Dick could hardly wait to draw one, and his purpose was very clear, he wanted a ship girl to enhance his own naval combat power. Anyway, the twenty magic stones can be used for drawing twice, so he took out ten to draw once and kept the other ten for later use. The ceremony was quickly ready. Dick repeated in his mind "I want a ship girl" and then skillfully injected magic power into the magic circle. Two tall figures soon emerged in the soft white light. However, when the light faded and Dick saw the true faces of his two new companions, his face darkened.
These two ship girls are the transport ship Ding'an from Donghuang and the transport ship Kashino from Sakura Empire. Both of them are capable and have big breasts, but neither of them is the combat-type ship girl that Dick urgently needs. After the two ship girls were summoned, Kashino's reaction was full of innocent temperament. She looked around with a confused face, and then met eyes with Marikawa Shizuka who came to join in the fun. The two big-breasted girls looked at each other silently for a moment, and then as if they judged that they belonged to the "same kind" through the aura, they smiled silly at the same time and waved to each other in a friendly manner. Ding'an was obviously more intelligent and alert. She also looked around at this strange place, and finally fixed her eyes on Dick, determining that he was the "boss" here. So she took the initiative to step forward, bowed gracefully to Dick, and then spoke. "You must be the commander. I have heard a lot about you. I am Ding'an, the transport ship of Donghuang. I hope you will give me your guidance in the future! I came here in a hurry and I don't have any gifts with me. Please forgive me." "Ah~!? Is this brother the Commander? Um... My name is Kashino, my hobby is taking hot spring baths, and my height and weight are..." When Kashino heard Ding'an calling Dick the commander, he was slow to react and remembered to introduce himself, but he ended up saying a bunch of weird personal information. Wow, his chest circumference is 120, which puts him in the first place with Lukoya right away. The two shipgirls are transport ships, belonging to the logistics support units. Their combat capability cannot be said to be non-existent, but it can only be considered better than nothing. It would be good if they could support Belfa without causing trouble or hindering the team. Dick was unwilling, but he did not vent his anger on his two new companions. Instead, he turned his head to look at the box containing the Philosopher's Stone in Rita's hand, with a serious expression as if he was about to make a very difficult decision. "Master, please don't get carried away." "Once, I'll just draw it again!" Dick finally couldn't control himself and used the other ten Philosopher's Stones. The main reason was that after the last retreat, Dick's magic skills had already reached the ceiling of the high-level level. This was due to the blessing of the God of Winter, which gave Dick spiritual veins all over his body, so his training level was much higher than others, and the effect was like turning on the "triple experience" BUFF. But the breakthrough of the rank does not only require the degree of practice, especially from the high level to the holy level, the spiritual realm is more important than the level of cultivation. So it is at this time that Dick wants to have a clear mind and draw when he should, and he cannot artificially create a hurdle in his heart. So Dick prayed in his heart and added the keyword "powerful" in his second desperate construction. Two figures soon emerged in the light of the magic circle, but this time the shadows looked really strange. At first glance, they did not look like human beings, and they were still moving strangely. Dick subconsciously squinted his eyes to see more carefully, and then he saw a thick blue tentacle suddenly extend from the light, wrapping around him at lightning speed and pulling him over forcefully. “Oh my god! What is this, wuwuwu…” Because the incident happened so suddenly and no one expected that the newly summoned Servant would attack the summoner without any explanation, even Rita's reaction was a little slow and she failed to block the lightning-fast tentacles in time. At this time, the light in the magic circle dissipated, and everyone saw two black-haired beauties with huge octopus tentacles surrounding their bodies in the center of the magic circle. The taller one had two golden antlers on her head, one long and one short. Dick was held in her arms, with his whole face buried between her tall and white breasts, and he could only make painful (?) whimpers. The other red-eyed woman wearing a captain's hat drew the Fisher sword from her waist and shouted fiercely. "Robbery! Hand over all the treasures!" "If you don't have any treasure, you can just give us this cute little brother. This little guy's body... is pretty good (rubbing)~?" "Golden Deer, we are robbing, be serious!" Seeing that the two tentacle girls came as robbers and took Dick hostage, Rita had already started fighting and took the sickle in her hand. Fortunately, Ding'an quickly intervened between the two parties at this time, raised his hand and signaled everyone to stay calm. "Everyone, don't do anything yet. Is there some misunderstanding here? You two should be ship girls, right? How can you attack the commander right away?" "Commander?" x2
Hearing Ding'an's words, the two tentacle girls followed the direction of her finger and looked at Dick who was still struggling hard. With his mouth covered by facial cleanser, he couldn't speak at all. So the woman called "Golden Deer" loosened her grip a little, allowing Dick to catch his breath and breathe smoothly. After carefully examining Dick for a moment, the Golden Deer once again hugged him into its arms, with several large tentacles wrapping around him, holding him tighter than before, and then declared without further ado.
