Chapter 431: Meal Tickets in the Dungeon
How do pirates make money? Kidnapping is part of it. Every time they go out to sea, the pirates don’t know what they will catch. Although in most cases, men kill women are brought back as slaves, there are also accidents, such as when the people sitting on the boat have some identities.
The ransom is definitely needed. Pirates will publish ransom information through black market merchants. If they want to redeem people, they will hand over the money to the black merchants. They are blindfolded and sending the ransom back. Pirates are still quite credible in this regard. After all, it is a long-term channel for making money. There is no need to smash their own signatures, right?
"Chief, you have to wear a mask before going down, because some people will take revenge after going back, and it is not convenient to go to Lorraine if you don't cover your face."
At the entrance of the dungeon, the pirate guarding here reminded Kelot and handed over a clean mask. Kelot took it and patted his shoulder to express encouragement.
"Godden, what are the people below? How many days have you been locked up?"
Kelot asked the dungeon guard here that he was an old pirate here. Because he was disabled on his arm, he could not join the frontal battle, so he was sent to guard the dungeon. He was a person with rich experience in torture, so Kelot asked him to continue the job.
"Most of them are children of the Chamber of Commerce. We rarely go to rob noble ships, but there is an exception. After you came to take over, we saw these nobles on the two subsequent ships and were detained here. You have been busy these days and have not come to disturb you."
Gordon was talking about the ship that the Dragon Pirates had returned from the sea before, and these noble children were locked on it. Because Kellot was busy arranging various tasks during this period, Gordon really did not dare to disturb him, so he could only report the situation to Qian Ning, who was in office behind him.
"Well, I'm so concerned, how is your right hand disabled... It depends on your strength.
Kylot could see that the pirate's strength should be as high as the middle-level scorching skills, but he could not fight because his right hand could not be used.
"I was captured during the naval battle before, and I broke my tendons, which was quite embarrassing..."
"Qian Ning, bring the ointment in the warehouse, which is the bottle of ointment collected in the room of the leader of the Dragon Pirates before."
It's not impossible to cure the broken tendons. When Kelot was counting supplies, he found many good things in a secret room in his residence. The Dragon Pirates have been rampant here for two years and still have some savings. The ointment he asked Qianning to take was a very expensive healing ointment, which was specially used to repair human trauma. The leader of the Dragon Pirates Group kept it for himself, but Kelot couldn't use it. Seeing this guard, he thought about it and just used it for him.
"This... Thank you, leader, your kindness, I... I Gordon! I will become the most loyal old dog around you in the future. As long as you don't dislike me, I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life!"
Gordon fell to the ground after getting the ointment and was informed by Kylot of the purpose. For Gordon, who had been disabled for many years and was once considered a strong man, his leader was willing to use something worth hundreds of gold for him, which was a huge gift, which made him a little overwhelmed. It seemed that his loyalty was the only one who could offer.
"Hey! Don't say that, you have talent. As long as you follow me in the future, I will not treat you badly."
A bottle of precious ointment that he couldn't use himself might have a high-level burning skill and was loyal to him. He had no shortage of burning skill professionals, but Kellot still did it.
Winning people's hearts is what a superior should do. His actions are also watched by the pirates nearby. In two days, all the pirates here will know what he does, and everyone will know what a leader they are following who cares about their subordinates!
"The people in the chamber of commerce here, our ransom request has been sent back to publish. The family members of this and this have already started preparing the ransom, saying that you still have you. When the money is in place, you can leave immediately. Come and get some wine and meat for these two gentlemen. This is the rule here. Let the hostages have a good meal before going out to show that we have not abused them. Everyone will follow the rules."
Gordon held the ointment in his left hand. Although he didn't know how anxious he was, he still carefully introduced the situation.
"The environment here is OK, it's quite clean. Use it, what to do in your hand? Use it early and get better. You have to help me with it."
Kylot glanced at Gordon and said with a smile.
"Yes, hehe... or do you understand me."
Gordon, who received his approval, quickly tore off his sleeve and applied the ointment to the injured part. A green light immediately emanated from it. The effect of a bottle of ointment of one or two hundred gold is really not a joke. It was just that during the time of speaking, Gordon's right hand had some strength. After trying to pick up a water cup, Kellot saw a strong man crying.
"Sir, can you help me plead with your leader? As long as I let me go back, I am willing to pay twice the ransom, yes, twice! Those people in my family are not good things. I plan to give up on me when I see that I am caught, but as long as I go back, I can pay the ransom!"
"Dog guy! Do you know who you are talking to? This is the leader of our Green Tree Pirates Group! The previous Dragon Pirates Group has long been destroyed by us!"
Someone admitted that Kylot's identity was wrong, and Gordon was excited to go up and chop him up.
"It's okay, they don't know. I'll tell you, the Dragon Pirates have been destroyed by me. Well... we are reasonable. This gentleman just said twice the ransom? Then let you go. Which chamber of commerce is from? Well, that's easy to deal with. If you don't take out twice the ransom after you go back, don't think of going to sea in your chamber of commerce ship. Then let's release them with those two gentlemen."
"You are so kind. Usually, if you can't get a ransom like this, we will throw it directly into the sea to feed the fish."
Gordon bowed beside Kylot, keeping his bent over. He is certain that he is tired, but it is enough to see his respect.
"Pirates! Let us go soon! We can also pay the ransom after we go back!"
There was a sound of full air coming from behind the dungeon and waiting.
"What are these?"
"It's just the few nobles who have been sent in recently. They have been yelling to go out, but there are some troubles. Their identities are different. After they go back, they are likely to send people to retaliate against us. They can persuade the government..."
The status of aristocrats and merchants is very different, not to mention that these aristocrats have a relatively low status.
