Game Across the World

Vol 3 Chapter 323: Greedy businessman

   "Don't chase!"

  Shen Chen stopped Saatchi who was about to chase, shook his head and said: "I can't catch up. Those guys are more familiar with the surrounding terrain than you, and it's dangerous to catch up rashly!"

Saqi was not convinced and wanted to refute, "I am also from Nassau, how can I say that I am more familiar?" But Shen Chen had proved his ability and wisdom before, hesitated for half a second, and his body had just rushed out of the bunker. Withdrew back.

   Shen Chen sighed at this moment, but he was not upset. He read a holy light flash, and gradually restored his blood volume:

   "To the effect, this witcher's perception is really good, but he still needs to be more vigilant in the face of unusual enemies!"

Shen Chen poked his head out. There were two very obvious bullet holes on the blackened wall of the warehouse. The two of them did not appear in Shen Chen's vision because they were hidden behind the wall of the ruins, so there was no need to see them. The enemy, the enemy naturally can't find them!

When Shen Chen smashed open the door, he only needed to hear a special sound, and he immediately fired at the predetermined location. The wall scorched by the fire was already extremely fragile and could not have any effect on the bullet; and the two ambushes People, as soon as the bullet is out of the chamber, immediately flee away!

   Obviously, the purpose of this group of people is to hurt people, not to prevent detection, and the purpose is to weaken the strength of the pirate camp!

Seeing that Saatchi gave up the pursuit, Shen Chen explained: "Perhaps you are very familiar with Nassau, but this place has already been turned into ruins. Since the enemy dared to arrange the sinking, he must have already been familiar with the surrounding environment! If you chase it, I am afraid I will be ambushed!"

   "Wow."

  Satch nodded, and he quickly returned to James, pulling away the debris from the place.

James crawled out of the ruins with a complex complexion. The new equipment he had just replaced was full of burnt black marks. If Shen Chen hadn't pushed him, most of his life would have been killed by Huang Quan. This is the third time Shen Chen has rescued him. He said that it was impossible not to be grateful, but he just felt unable to repay.

   Besides, it was not James that was ruthless, but Shen Chen helped him several times for no reason. The reason for merely plotting William's treasure is hard to explain. James once again remembered the words Crow had said when he left, and everything he had on his back, painfully concealing that emotion, and silently avoided Shen Chen's concerned eyes.

   Shen Chen only saw the log of James’s increased favorability, ignoring the complex emotions in James’ heart. He quickly focused on the warehouse and the escaped enemy, “I’ll go in and take a look, Saatchi, you and James are on guard outside.”

   Saatchi caught the change in James’ mood and wanted to tell Shen Chen immediately. After all, Benjamin had told him that Shen Chen was more worthy of their trust than James, but for some reason, he stopped talking, and finally did not speak to hide it.

   "Sure enough."

   Shen Chen didn't have the mind to deal with the changes in the NPC's heart, as long as there was no huge fluctuation in his favorability, he would not care anymore.

Enter the warehouse carefully, squat down, and observe the surrounding area. After the explosion ended and burned into a piece of ashes in this warehouse for storing rum, the structure of the entire room was not completely destroyed, at least the columns and walls were mostly intact. , But the roof and room were scorched black, and the floor was covered with falling dust and broken residue.

   These sawdust, wine bottle scraps, and thatch scattered by the explosion shock wave are all scattered and scattered on both sides of the warehouse. The key is that in the fierce combustion after the explosion, these flammables are only charred on the surface.

   Shen Chen took off his plate armor gloves and lightly probed the ground. He picked up the sawdust and touched the ground nearby.

   "It's all damp!" He put his finger in his mouth and sucked, "It's not wine. Although it is a little sweet, it is too weak to taste, just like water!"

   So obviously, the warehouse is not filled with ordinary rum, but distilled alcohol-like things! But most of this technology is in the American continent, and the Caribbean is not their heading to Europe!

(Ps: Rum made from distilled sugar cane juice was already available in 1651, while Staten Island and North America also had distillation centers in 1664; general rum has a degree of 65°, so it is made Crude alcohol is not difficult)

   "With so much alcohol, what exactly does the Scottish businessman want to cover up?"

The West Indian Ocean Islands is the origin of rum. The local rum sales can make some money, but it will only be a loss if it is shipped over thousands of miles. Merchants will not do such stupid things unless it is these high rums. Wine can earn him more money; perhaps becoming the new manager of Nassau is one of them.

Shen Chen had already understood most of it in his heart. He had been unable to figure out how black powder could cause such damage; without a bomb, the French fleet attacked Nassau and it was burned after the occupation. Huge destruction.

"Unexpectedly, this is probably the earliest use of the'Molotov cocktail'!" Shen Chen teased in his heart, "It's a pity that naval battles quickly changed from port battles to artillery battles, and it is not suitable for burning ships. The interests of pirates have been buried for hundreds of years!"

  If rum and explosives are mixed and used on Nassau and pirate ships full of wooden materials, it does not require much gunpowder. The destructive and sustained flammability after the explosion is stronger than ordinary black powder.

The point is that rum will only leave the taste of wine and water after burning, and Nassau has it and its taste everywhere, no one will suspect that rum has become the culprit of explosion and burning; let alone When using it, you only need to fill half a bottle with a wine bottle, pretending to be drunk, and even give some to local patrolers.

   Maybe this rum has a heavier taste, but the pirate’s immediate reaction must be: "It's so spicy! This is really good wine! It's fun!"

   Maybe there will be more, and it will be easy to swagger through the market, and easily bring this ignited thing to any corner of Nassau.

The Scottish merchant did not need to participate in it. He ignited the warehouse where his wine was stored in advance, and when it burned into ashes, he would naturally wash away the suspicion; after that, he could continue to connect the remnants of the Nassau Knights and the navy to use the candidates' thoughts To earn points mentality, do more articles.

  In the end, when the navy defeats the pirates and takes over Nassau, they are the new owners of this port; there are no pirates and routes without protection fees, which are full of infinite temptations for the greedy merchants!

As for Pal, he was naturally the bait that was thrown out. The Templars didn’t intend to keep him alive; I’m afraid that when Benjamin’s arrangement was trapped, these merchants knew it well and just watched indifferently; Pal was dying. He understood everything because he heard the explosion. In order to avenge Benjamin, he attributed everything to himself.

Fortunately, Soberon was superfluous and Crow acted decisively, which allowed Shen Chen to find some flaws. In addition, he did not come from this world, and he had an understanding of the original development of the Assassin World ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ which exposed the merchants. come out.

   But now there is a new problem. The businessmen have clearly been imprisoned in the conference room; in order not to reveal these secrets, it is impossible for them to arrange manpower to lie in ambush here. Isn't this telling the enemy that there is a problem with the warehouse?

   Shen Chen meditated, he didn't think long before he stood up, let the two of Saqi in, smiled and said: "Let's go and catch those two guys, maybe we can know the answer!"

   Saqi cat walked along the edge of the room and came to Shen Chen's side. He was very puzzled. He was the one who stopped him just now, and asked: "Now chase it? But why didn't you just..."

   Shen Chen read another holy light flash, like a snack, drank the improved version of the tawny owl potion, and then ate the western waste corpse bird steak.

He quickly filled up his life, but on the surface, he still looked like he was severely injured. The blood wetted the shirt under the plate armor, then wrapped it with a linen bandage, frowning pretending that the wound was affected, and continued Explained to:

"We don’t know if those enemies are still in ambush. If we rush to catch up, we won’t get any benefit. If we fight along the enemy’s arrangement, we probably won’t find anything! But now, the two enemies didn’t find us catching up. They Most of them will relax their vigilance and head to the next ambush; now that we already know their existence, hum!"

   James noticed Shen Chen’s pain and asked with concern: “It’s okay, or let’s go back to the castle first, and then face the navy more dangerously, I...”

   "It doesn't matter, I don't care about this little injury!" Shen Chen smiled heartily, giving James and Saatchi a lot of confidence again.

   "James's favorability increased by 400 points, and Saatchi favorability increased by 200 points~~"
