Chapter 37 Captain and chart

Baldur’s Gate is named after the legendary pirate Bald’an. He often sails vertically and horizontally on the Sea of ​​Swords. In his own name, he built a tower on the seashore as a guide for him to return home and avoid being invaded by his counterparts from the north. Later, merchants and coastal patrols built a city wall to prevent their cargo from encountering external dangers, but they deliberately excluded the port area from the wall, and collected city fees for the cargo and personnel of the ship. The captains treated them as selfish. The behavior was angry and refused to pay the entrance fee. Bodean just went out when he decided to build the city wall. When he came back, he found that the pirates were locked outside the new wall, unable to withstand the attacks from the orcs and barbarians, and had to pay a high cost for entering the city. In the early summer of that year, the Orcs launched an assault, but civil strife broke out in the city.

In anger, Bodean led the captains to kill the selfish and arrogant merchants and captains, and disbanded the council composed of these prosperous farmers. He only spared four people because they did not support the decision of the parliament. Bodean paid for it, and urgently ordered the construction of the outer wall, and built a bridge gate, which is the origin of the name of Bode’s Gate. After combining strong force and solid defense, the Orcs were finally defeated. Bodean appointed the four dukes and stayed at Bode’s Gate. Up to now, although the title of the duke has been retained, the specific candidates are elected by the parliament. After all this was over, Bodean went to sea to find the legendary Angkor Island. Never came back. And Angome Island is everyone’s goal this time.

A group of people came to the thieves’ union in the morning. The thieves of the lookout had already left Henry and greeted them directly and went directly to the office of Alatus. When the thief leader saw him, he stood up and smiled and said, “Welcome! Welcome! Isn’t this our Mr. Goldmine? What good things have you brought this time? You have been called the Master of Pharmacy this year. “Henry stepped forward and shook his hand and said, “Sorry, I didn’t bring anything this time. But I have a business to do with you. First, bring Robert over, and I will take him away this time. Secondly. Help me look up the last voyage record of Bodean. It’s best to find the chart. The last thing is to buy me a boat, big and strong enough. I will hire the crew and captain in the dock area myself, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

Alatus touched his goatee lightly and said, “I will help you investigate the Bodean Chart, but you have to wait a few days. The most expensive seagoing ship to buy this season, but I think this is not It’s not a problem for you. I’ll contact the ship for you first, but I’ll take a 15% tap.”

Henry nodded and said, “No problem, but it’s better to be faster.” After that, he followed Altus’s hand to find Robert. It didn’t take long for them to come to a mermaid bar called Blushing. According to the introduction of the lead thief, it was a bar on the surface but a club and a casino behind it. When he came to the second floor, Henry saw Robert at a glance. He was squatting in the corner and observing everyone in the casino. Robert also saw his master and hurriedly got up and walked over. Henry looked at him with a sophisticated look, and it seemed that he had matured a lot this year. Then he patted him on the shoulder and said, “Follow me, we have already greeted Alatus. Now follow me to the tavern in the port area to hire an experienced captain and some sailors.”

Robert used a special gesture to communicate with the person in charge in front of the counter, and then left the blushing mermaid bar with everyone. On the way to the pier, he looked at his sister. The thin little girl was already slim and looks like a girl. It seems that my sister has had a good year, and her eyes can no longer be replaced by the previous cautiousness and intelligence and wisdom. He gently said to Amy: “My dear sister, what have you done in the past year, that has changed so much?” Amy covered her mouth and smiled and said, “Dear brother, want to Knowing that I was taught by a great mage himself for a year. Last year I read more books than you have heard.” Robert nodded and smiled.

Soon everyone went to the dock area. Henry turned and asked Robert, “You have been in the union for a year. You should know where the sailors and captains are usually going here?” The boy nodded and said, “Yes, master, the whole city. I’m basically familiar with all the buildings and sewers. After most of the boats dock here, the people on the boat will go down to the tavern in Jopalin for a few drinks and then stay for one night. If you want to recruit captains and sailors, it is the best place. Good place.” Everyone followed Robert directly to the Jupalin Tavern in the north of the dock area.

As soon as he entered it, he smelled a strong smell of wine and a lot of noisy sounds. The messy sailors sang messy songs from time to time and poured the wine in one sip. Seeing that there was a brown bear bartender among Henry’s group, he immediately said to him: “Sorry, we don’t allow large animals to enter.” Henry directly took out a dozen gold coins from his pocket and threw it to the bartender, saying, “It’s me. My friend, I think I can enjoy the same treatment as a normal person here.” The bartender received the gold coin and stuffed it into his pocket and said, “Okay, but if it hurts, we won’t be responsible.” “Don’t worry, I My animal companion will not move without my order. In addition, I want to ask you if there is a captain waiting to be hired here recently? If you find it for me, I can pay you fifty gold coins.” Henry Say. The bartender stood there and thought for a while and said: “There is a man who meets your requirements. He lives here now called Hawke. He is an experienced captain. But when his boat went out to sea last time, he was caught by the goddess of bad luck Bensaba. Cursed, the ship was knocked over when it encountered the sea monster whale. Now everyone feels that he is doomed and unwilling to hire him. If you need it, I can help you contact.”

Henry nodded and said, “Take me to see this Captain Hawke now.” After speaking, he took out fifty gold coins and handed them over. The bartender happily took the money and put it in his pocket, turned and took Henry upstairs. On the second floor, the bartender walked to a door and patted vigorously and shouted: “Hawk! Old Hawk! I’m up, and an employer is willing to hire you.” Three minutes later, the door was opened, and one came out inside. Fifty-year-old man with messy hair and beard. Seeing the two people at the door, he asked, “Who! Who wants to hire me.” Henry stepped forward and said, “Hello Captain Hawke, I call Henry I plan to hire you.” The bartender saw the two of them and took his head. Said: “Well, now that you know each other, let’s talk slowly. I’ll go downstairs first.” After speaking, he left. Hawke looked at Henry carefully and said, “Well, young gentleman, please come in and talk.”

He smelled a smell of alcohol as soon as he walked into the house. Hawk found a chair and sat down and said, “Mr. Henry, would you please give me a brief introduction to the boat. In addition, the route you plan to run is the best.” Tell me too.” Henry said to the old man: “Mr. Captain, tell you the truth. I am not going to trade and my ship is still buying. I plan to go on an expedition. Please don’t worry about the salary. I will pay a lump-sum payment of one thousand gold coins as reward for this voyage.” Hawke frowned and said, “You don’t have a ship yet? That is to say, you don’t even have a sailor. What about the adventure destination? Is there a chart? After seeing the old man’s doubts, he said, “Please rest assured, Captain Hawke, I have entrusted the thieves’ guild in the city to purchase ships. Their work efficiency has always been good, and there will be news by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. As for the adventure. I’m sorry I can’t say for the time being, but I’ll give you the chart after going to sea. If you agree, we can sign a contract now and then I’ll pay half of the salary first.”

Hawke looked at him with a little surprise and said, “If the thieves’ union had made the move, there would be no problem with the ship. Okay, let’s sign a contract now.” Soon the two of them drafted a contract together. It is stated that all the profits brought by this voyage belong to Henry, and Captain Hawke will receive half of the reward, which is 500 gold coins, after the contract is signed. The other half paid on the ship after sailing to the destination After signing in duplicate, Henry smiled and said to Hawke: “Okay, Mr. Captain, this is half of your reward. In addition, I think Entrust you to help me recruit experienced sailors that I can trust.” After speaking, he took out a full thousand gold coins and placed them on the table. After seeing the gold coins, the old captain beamed his eyes and said to him: “No problem, there are five hundred gold coins enough to recruit more than fifty masters. I will take care of this.” “Then I will leave first, if If you have anything to do with me, go to the Elf Song Hotel near the gate of the city. I have lived there these days.” He turned around and went downstairs after he said it.

When Henry returned to the first floor, he saw that Cagan had become a piece with the sailors around him, pouring a large glass of wine into his mouth. Robert stood in front to protect his sister from these dirty sailors. Ares sat bored and took a nap while Banburk flew to the roof and sang a weird song of yin and yang loudly. Amy was reading a notebook quietly, unaffected by the surrounding environment. He walked up to these people and said loudly, “Okay guys, stop making trouble with the captain. It’s been settled. Now let’s go back to the hotel.” Everyone put aside their business and followed Henry out of the noisy tavern. At the door, the dwarf hiccuped and said to him: “Henry, how many days are we going to stay on the boat this time.” Henry thought about the description in the game and said: “It’s probably a few days and nights, don’t worry I will protect. Good for our boat.” Cagan muttered, “You know, dwarves always think it’s best to have your feet on the ground. The shaky environment of the sea will drive me crazy.” He ignored the dwarves’ complaints. Take everyone directly back to the Elf Song Hotel to stay and wait for news.
