Beast Tamer: My pet has a game panel.

Chapter 267 Merchant Ship
The contract space opened, and a small package slid out of it and landed on the table, making a crisp sound.

"These are magic crystals, please accept them. Later, go buy a ship and its accessories. When you have finished processing everything and are ready to set off, just contact me directly." After handing over the small package full of magic crystals, which are also spirit crystals, Ye Mo spoke seriously.

With his head lowered, the red-haired Barton took a look and was shocked. Although the package was not big, the quality of the magic crystals inside was too high. Even if he didn't look closely, the few exposed ones were obviously fourth-level magic crystals, which could only be produced by fourth-level magic beasts.

Seeing this, Patton's awe of Ye Mo increased a lot, but awe is awe, and some things cannot be done, so they still have to be said.

"Sir, if we are just going to the Blackstone Principality, we can buy a ticket and take a boat there, but if we buy a boat and drive there, no one will drive it even if we buy it."

Barton paused for a moment before continuing, "So either hire some sailors and other necessary crew members, or simply buy some slaves who can sail."

"Or we can charter a ship and then take it down using the same method you used on us. This way we can save money and have enough manpower."

At the end of his speech, Patton deliberately looked at Ye Mo's expression. In his eyes, his master was obviously not a good person. In this case, hijacking a ship was obviously the best option.

Hearing this, Ye Mo was stunned. Wow, this guy is even more cruel than me, but this method is really good.

Shaking his head and getting rid of the idea, Ye Mo said to Barton, "No need. Just buy a ship. As for the sailors and crew, you can go to the slave market."

It's just a boat, there's no need to do anything you don't want to do.

Next, Ye Mo and Patton continued to talk about their requirements for the ship and the purchase of slaves. These still had to be made clear. In addition to these, they also discussed how to leave later.

After a while, Ye Mo finished speaking and took out some water, took a sip and moistened his throat.

"Sir, are you sure you have no racial requirements for slaves?" Patton asked again in surprise.

Nodding, Ye Mo said seriously: "It doesn't matter what race he is, even if he is not human, as long as he has the ability and the price is relatively affordable, then it will be fine."

"Okay, I'll prepare it right away, sir, goodbye." After bending down and saying this, Patton carried the giant axe on his back, gently opened the door and walked out.

Ye Mo in the room glanced at the sleeping Xiao Liu'er on the bed, holding Bai Ling and smacking his lips from time to time. Seeing this, he couldn't help but smile softly.

Some people just find it convenient and don't have to do it themselves.

Thinking of the scene when he subdued the elite members of the Violent Mercenary Group, Ye Mo felt that he was wise.

If these people were not there, he would have to do all these things now, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also easy to be cheated.

But now, we have the ship and the people. We will go to the Blackrock Principality to gather intelligence and see what is going on there.

The previous understanding was all on paper, so I still have to see it with my own eyes to be sure. As for those pirates, we can ask them together when the time comes. Anyway, as long as you have money, it won’t be difficult to find out.

If it's difficult, it means the money is not enough.

After thinking about it, Ye Mo took out enough materials from the contract space and continued to prepare the medicine.

The cultivator's training cannot stop, and the ability to make potions is of utmost importance. If nothing unexpected happens, he will sooner or later make the so-called breakthrough potion. According to the master, the breakthrough potion must be at least a fourth-level potion. With his current ability, he is still a little short of it.

The next day, morning.

After receiving news from Patton, Ye Mo put on his big black robe and mask, took Xiao Liu'er back, and left the hotel with Bai Ling.

Downstairs, two mercenaries who were used as messengers saw this and immediately ran over to say hello.

"Good morning, sir. How can we help you?"

After a quick glance, Ye Mo said calmly, "Let's go. Patton has already prepared everything. We'll go out to sea today."

"Okay, sir." The two mercenaries assigned here obviously didn't know the specific situation, but they would still follow Ye Mo's words.

In this way, under the protection of the two mercenaries, Ye Mo walked all the way to the place they said.

Langge City, port.

The fishy smell blew in with the salty sea breeze. As a coastal city, its dock was quite prosperous and grand. At a glance, dozens of huge ships were docked, in addition to more than a hundred ships of various sizes.

In addition to the ships, there were also many people coming and going. Looking around, apart from the lazy city guards, most of the others were civilians, merchants and sailors.

"Sir, you are here. Boss Patton sent me here. He has something else to do, so he asked me to come over and take you there." A mercenary from the Violent Mercenary Group ran over and shouted respectfully after seeing them.

"Well, lead the way." After saying that, Ye Mo walked for a while under the guidance of the mercenary, and finally saw Patton and his group, as well as the ship they bought.

At first glance, the entire ship looks like a retro two-masted sailing ship, but this is a world with extraordinary capabilities after all, and you have to go and see it in person to know its specific capabilities.

The entire ship is not too big, and it looks even smaller compared to those giant ships, but compared to other ships, it is still okay, at least of medium size. Looking at the busy figures on its deck, Ye Mo estimated that it should be no problem for a ship to carry a hundred people.

"Sir, you are here." Patton leaped and landed on the dock with a huge axe on his back, then walked over with a smile.

"Yeah." Looking at the boat, Ye Mo responded softly.

At this time, Patton understood and began to talk about the current situation.

"Sir, since we can't buy warships, I bought a medium-sized merchant ship. It can easily accommodate about a hundred people. If we squeeze in, two or three hundred people are not a problem."

"According to your suggestion, in order to avoid being conspicuous, after purchasing the merchant ship, I also bought a lot of local goods and planned to transport them to the Blackrock Kingdom for sale. If those people are right, this trip can fetch around 200 gold coins."

Hearing this, Ye Mo nodded secretly. The value of gold coins here is still very strong. More than two hundred gold coins are equivalent to more than one million Yanhuang coins, which is quite profitable.

However, the prices of some things vary greatly, so they cannot be calculated in this way, but roughly 5,000 for one is no problem.

As for the lower-quality silver and copper coins, their exchange rate with gold coins is 100 to 10,000, which is quite easy to calculate. "Also, I purchased sixty sailors and other slaves. Most of them are fish demihumans, while others have experience in sailing. These are their slave contracts. Please keep them, sir."

After saying this, Barton handed over the stack of parchment in his hand.

After Ye Mo took it, facing the contract that exuded mysterious power, he looked at it curiously for a few more times. He was still very curious about this kind of slave contract.

After the probe was opened, the attributes and introduction of the slave contract soon appeared in his mind.

Sure enough, these slave contracts are all low-level contracts, which can only be used to contract professionals below the fourth level. They will have no effect above that level. Moreover, these contracts have been signed and currently have no other function except controlling the life and death of the contractors.

After putting it away, Ye Mo nodded and said, "Very good, let's go up first and set off later."

After boarding the ship, at Patton's call, all the sold slaves met Ye Mo, or rather, met him in black robe. After knowing his identity, these slaves went back to do their own things obediently.

During the process, Ye Mo also took a look at those fish-like sub-humans. Their appearance was very similar to that of humans, more like mermaids. However, they had no fish tails, only some fish scales and fins. Their appearance was also relatively ordinary, without the beauty of mermaids.

It can be said that apart from being stronger, able to breathe underwater, and having a slightly inhuman appearance, they are no different from humans. However, when other people see this group of sub-humans, they look down on them and want to stay as far away from them as possible. Even the human slaves have this idea.

In addition to these subhumans, Patton also pointed to an old slave and gave a brief introduction. According to him, the other party was once the captain of a merchant ship, established a small chamber of commerce, had rich sailing experience, and made a lot of money in the beginning. However, after being robbed by pirates, although his life was saved, the cargo was lost. As a result, he owed a huge amount of compensation, and in the end, his entire family was sold as slaves.

It's really miserable, but if the other party's ability is real, then this ship can be handed over to him to drive.

Finally, after finishing his talk, Patton introduced the facilities inside the merchant ship again, and then took Ye Mo to the luxury suite.

This is also where Ye Mo will rest next. After being specially renovated by Patton, the interior is very luxurious.

After observing around, Ye Mo nodded with satisfaction, and then arranged for the other party to continue working and try to set off as soon as possible.

The star map unfolded, and streams of light fell, revealing the figures of Bai Ling, Bai You, and Xiao Liu'er.

This ship is really good, but it is too small. Not to mention there is no place to put Xiao Liu'er's real body after summoning it, even Hanhan and the two fourth-level monsters are not easy to summon.

"It seems that I still need to get a big ship as soon as possible." Thinking of this, Ye Mo took out some information he bought. It contained news about the famous pirate groups in the Black Diamond Sea and the warships of the Black Stone Principality.

Of course, he was just taking a look at the latter, his real target was the former. Those pirates who could be so arrogant for so long must have something special, for example, their ships were modified in very unique ways.

after a while.

Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door. Ye Mo, who was sitting at his desk flipping through some documents, looked up and called out, "Come in."

The door opened, and an old man with messy hair, though washed, walked in tremblingly. When he saw Ye Mo, he immediately knelt down and shouted, "Sir, what do you want to talk to me about?"

This old man was the merchant captain that Patton had mentioned before. People called him Old Quinn.

"I heard you were a captain for many years, so you should have a lot of sailing experience. How about this? I heard your grandson was also bought here. I'll give you an opportunity. If you can seize it, it's not impossible to save your grandson from slavery in the future."

Looking at the other person, Ye Mo began to speak with a smile.

"Thank you, sir." Regardless of whether it was true or not, Old Quinn immediately lowered his head and shouted in gratitude based on his years of experience.

Ye Mo didn't care whether the other party was sincere or not. As long as the transaction contract could be signed, the fake one would become real.

The origin was consumed, and a transaction contract appeared. The content on it was not much different from Patton's original content. The only additional thing was the matter of his grandson. Ye Mo was not wrong. As long as the other party performed well, it was not impossible to be exempted from the slave status.

A large amount of information instantly flooded into old Quinn's mind. The old man in his seventies was very excited. He kowtowed repeatedly to express his gratitude and immediately signed the contract.

Not surprisingly, he signed the contract as a slave without any intention of refusing.

"Very good. This ship will be managed by you from now on. Your task is to ensure that we arrive at the Black Stone Principality as quickly and safely as possible." Facing the flying light of the contract, Ye Mo spoke to the other party.

As an old captain, Quinn had no reason to refuse and repeatedly said that there was no problem.

Afterwards, Ye Mo started chatting with the other party as usual, and learned about the situation of the kingdoms and principalities in this world.

During the conversation, they talked about how the other party was attacked by pirates.

"You mean, those pirates aren't real pirates?" Ye Mo asked curiously, raising his eyebrows.

Old Quinn stood there, gritting his teeth and saying, "Yes, sir. Those pirates who attacked my merchant ships were actually subordinates of the Blackrock Duchy Navy."

"I only learned this after I became a slave and he told me personally."

"Tell you in person? Who? Your enemy?" Ye Mo asked after hearing this.

Old Quinn smiled wryly and said, "Enemy, how could I have the qualifications? He's the third son of the Earl of Verdant Island. He sent his men to buy shares in my Chamber of Commerce. Because the price was too low and he didn't reveal his identity, I refused."

"Then, as you well know, we took on a large order, were attacked by pirates, our goods were stolen, the Chamber of Commerce auctioned them off, and eventually, even I became a slave."

"That's when he looked at me and said that the pirates were officially formed by the Principality."

It turned out to be like this, Ye Mo touched his chin and thought secretly in his heart, the Earl of Cang Cui Island, if he remembered correctly, he was one of the top earls in the entire Black Stone Kingdom. Not only was he very powerful, he also had a close relationship with the Grand Duke of Black Stone. His eldest daughter was the current Duchess of Black Stone.

"Okay, let's stop here. Go and get ready. It's time to set off." After waving his hand, Ye Mo began to speak.

After bending down and nodding, Old Quinn gently opened the door. Thinking of what had happened before, he was excited and secretly told himself that he must do his best to complete his task.
