The owner of the tavern had put a lot of thought into the decoration. The walls outside were covered with green creeper vines, and there was a row of chubby wine barrels in the corner. Even the windows were made of red rose glass.
Tang Ge pushed the door open and entered. The rich aroma of wine wafted into his face. There were more than ten round tables scattered around, and there was a row of chairs in front of the bar counter. There were not many customers at the moment, and about one-third of the seats were occupied.
He sat down at the bar counter and asked the waiter for a glass of wine. He also asked the waiter to bring him something to eat. This place mainly sold wine, but there were still a few simple foods. He ate fish and drank wine. As time passed, more and more customers came to the tavern. Under the stimulation of alcohol, people talked without any scruples.
Tang Ge deliberately chose to eat here to gather more information, mainly about the black toad or the next target of the robbery. In addition, he needed to recruit a group of sailors.
A pair of soft balls suddenly stuck to his back and accidentally rubbed against it. He smelled perfume. He turned around and saw a pair of white breasts.
"Do you need company?" said the woman coquettishly, sitting down next to Tango, her bottomless **** under her low lace collar.
"I understand. Sorry for disturbing you."
"You're welcome."
The woman maintained her smile and left to look for other customers. Her beauty was below average, but her figure was impressive. Soon, some men were captured and began to discuss the night fee with her.
Although Tang Ge was free tonight, that woman was just a common girl. He wasn't so hungry that he couldn't be choosy.
"Waiter, give everyone a glass of Brandy. My treat.”Tonga snapped his fingers and said.
The waiter smiled and announced the news loudly. He immediately received applause and thanks. Drunkards liked generous people like Tang Ge. A shrewd looking man came to Tang Ge's side, clinked his glasses, and took a sip.
"Thank you for treating me, brother." the man said, reeking of alcohol.
"My name is Edmond Robert. Have you heard of this surname? "This is an ancient surname. My ancestors were from the royal family, but they were later destroyed.”He pursed his lips." If I hadn't been destroyed, I might have been a prince now.”
"Are you a sailor?"
"Hehe, of course I'm a sailor. I spend more time at sea than on land.”"Not only that, I've seen mermaids on the sea." They were not wearing any clothes and had perfect bodies. Their faces were unforgettable.”
When Edmund heard that Tang Ge was the captain, he sat up straight and said,"Leave this matter to me. It's too simple for me. How many sailors do you need? Fifty? Top 100? Even if it was two or three hundred people, as long as they had money, it would be easy to find them. Don't forget that this was a port city, and everyone grew up eating crabs.”
Edmond reacted quickly. His expression changed slightly as he said in a low voice," Your ship is a pirate ship!?"
Tang Ge smiled and did not answer. He was still pouring and drinking by himself.
A complicated expression appeared on Edmond's face as he frowned.""It's not hard to find such a sailor, but I won't board this kind of ship. But I can help you connect the bridge, and you have to give me some money for my hard work. Is that a problem?"
"No problem. I'll leave this matter to you. Tell them to wait for me in the tavern at this time tomorrow.”said Tongo briskly, patting Edmund on the shoulder in a friendly gesture.
Pirates were an important part of the great voyage era, and the people by the sea were all too familiar with them. Edmond did not resist too much. He approached Tongo to earn some money.
"However, I have to remind you in advance that a pirate captain has recently been captured by the navy and will be executed in a few days. Due to the influence of this news, if you recruit pirate sailors, their wages may be higher.”
"The salary doesn't matter. I can afford it. As long as they're willing to work for me for the money, it's fine.”
Edmond looked around cautiously, afraid that this sensitive topic would be overheard by others. It was obviously not good to be associated with a death row prisoner.
Most of the people were still drinking and chatting, so they didn't pay attention to their conversation. Only a one-eyed man in the corner pricked up his ears and stole a glance at Edmond. There were two pistols at his waist and a heavy bag at his feet.
Edmund turned around, his face looking a little strange in the dim light, and said in a voice only Tongo could hear,"The one to be executed is the captain of the Purgatory. His name is Carm. I heard that he was caught because the people on the ship betrayed him. I also heard that the Black Toad Pirates have taken over the Purgatory and it has become their seventh ship.”
"The Black Toad Pirate Team has grown again?" asked Tang Ge, his gaze cold.”
"Please keep your voice down!" " Yes, the Black Toad Pirates have taken over the Purgatory and become even stronger. Even the bounty on Captain Harold has increased by a large margin.”
"How much strength do you think it would take to defeat the Black Toad Pirates?" Tang Ge nodded.”
Edmond widened his eyes and said," Are you kidding me?”
"Don't make a fuss. I'm just asking casually.”
Edmond wiped his sweat. No matter how he looked at it, he did not think that Tongo was joking. But since Tang Ge asked, he could only think about it and answer,"If you want to be confident, you need ten ships, and they must all be large warships. They must be naval battleships. Each ship must be equipped with 600 to 700 sailors and more than 100 cannons.”
The image of battleships on the sea appeared in Tang Ge's mind, each of them able to easily crush the Black Pearl. He frowned." As far as I know, the Black Toad Pirates only have two or three large ships. The rest are all medium-sized ships. Is there a need to make such a big fuss?"”
Edmond looked at Tango as if he was looking at an outsider, then explained,"The problem is that the Black Toad's ship is too powerful. Have you heard of a sea beast like the Bullet Spitting Frog? The Black Toad's ships were filled with these things. They were even more powerful than cannons, especially the Black Toad's main ship, the Black Whale. There were dozens of Bullet Spitting Frogs on it, and a few of them were especially large.”
The more he spoke, the more excited he became." In addition, they have the Purgatory, which makes them even harder to deal with. The Purgatory is also a very powerful ship. This ship can turn the sea into a sea of fire. Just by relying on one ship, it can withstand three large ships. The name Purgatory is not a bluff.”
" Forget it, let's drink…" After finding out the details of the black toad, Tang Ge felt that completing this mission was a long way off and was a little dull.
"In a few days, the captain of the Purgatory Pirates will be executed.”Edmond suggested.
"There's no harm in going to watch the show."
At this moment, the one-eyed man who had been eavesdropping on the conversation smashed his wine glass and threw a silver coin on the table as payment. The surrounding people were shocked and stared blankly at the one-eyed man who smashed the cup. The one-eyed man walked over angrily. Tang Ge raised his guard and grabbed the greatsword on his back, ready to attack at any time.
The one-eyed man did not look at Tang Ge. Instead, he glared at Edmond with red eyes. He took out a gun and pointed it at Edmond's head. He cursed in a hoarse voice,"Captain Carm won't die, you jinx!”
