After docking in Valencia for one night, the Seagull was about to set sail for Al the next day. Since it cost 207 gold coins to buy ceramics and salt, Luo Fei had to change the deposit certificate with me again at the local Portuguese bank.

After removing the crew’s salary, the team’s assets were 706 gold coins.

The money was kept by Long Aotian for 56 gold coins, and the remaining 650 gold coins were continued to be exchanged for vouchers and kept by "Who am I" in the inventory.

However, although the two places were less than a two-day voyage, Oliver immediately protested to Luo Fei when he told him about his destination!

It turned out that the problem was in the previous agreement reached by Oliver and Luo Fei. At that time, Luo Fei promised the Seagull to hire the original helmsman, watchman and surveyor, he could only trade between Portugal and Spain.

"Although Ceuta also belongs to Africa, it is extremely close to Sevilla after all. In addition, Sevilla's current trade is exclusively owned by the local chamber of commerce, so we default to going to Ceuta is not considered a violation of our agreement!"

Oliver was a little angry, and tried his best to continue in a persuasive tone: "Besides, you shouldn't forget what I told you about the pirates yesterday! We have always tried to drive along the coastline as much as possible, so we didn't encounter pirates, but to go to Al, we have to cross the Mediterranean. Although it's less than two days' voyage, it's enough for the pirates to evacuate very calmly after ambushing us!"

"Is this a warning from NPC to me?" Luo Fei thought to himself after hearing this, and immediately took it seriously.

After all, in the "Long Night" script before, Su Ruoying did not listen to Carl and insisted on opening the iron cabinet in the hunter's hut, which eventually led to Luo Fei being suddenly attacked by the hunter!

"If there was no "inspiration capture notes" that time, I would have had food shortages and I would have completed the hidden task in the end. It is likely that even the normal task of successfully reaching the town of Crith." When Luo Fei thought of this, the idea of ​​going to Algiers had completely disappeared.

"But I heard that Al is rich in ivory. In Valencia, we only have the right to buy one cabin of ceramics and the salt we buy in the other cabin is to sell the salt to Algiers, buy another cabin of ivory and transport it back to Lisbon to make money!" It is obvious that he has never eaten any loss of not listening to the NPC warning before, or he has encountered similar situations before, but the blow he suffered was not almost as bad as Luo Fei's time.

"Anyway, I have said everything I should say. I hope the captain can abide by the previous agreement." Seeing who I was insisting on going to Algiers, Oliver had to spread his hands and look at Luo Fei.

"In order to make up for the problem in the agreement, we can give you three times the salary in five days!" Before Luo Fei could speak, who was suddenly said to Oliver.

After Oliver was stunned, he did not object immediately, but instead pondered, as if thinking about whether he could make the money.

"Boss." At this time, who was very serious about me, said to Luo Fei: "Before, whether in Ceuta or in Valencia, I asked local merchants for advice during the transaction interval. They said that the same goods cannot be sold continuously at the same high price in a short period of time. For example, when we ship saffron from Lisbon to Ceuta, Ceuta gave us a high price because of the lack of saffron. But because they have already obtained saffron through purchases, no matter who transports saffron, they will definitely not be able to sell as high as ours in the short term, and it will be much lower!"

"You mean, if we don't go to Algiers to buy this ivory, then we will have much less profit when we return to Lisbon?" Luo Fei immediately grabbed the point of who I was talking.

"That's what I mean." Who am I nodded: "You must know that salt itself is a specialty from Lisbon. Even if we go to Ceuta to sell it, it is difficult to guarantee that any merchants would have transported a large amount of salt from Lisbon to Ceuta. At that time, our cabin of salt may not even be able to sell at the current purchase price!"

"What you said really makes sense." Luo Fei nodded and looked at Oliver again. He wanted to see who I was before if the high price I proposed could impress Oliver.

In Luo Fei's opinion, if Oliver still refuses after offering a high price, the route from Valencia to Algiers will definitely be extremely dangerous and must not be taken. But if Oliver agrees to take risks, it means that he may not encounter pirates on this route, and he will still have a chance to take risks to Algiers.

At this time, Oliver saw Luo Fei looking at him and sighed: "Since the captain also agreed to pay three times the price in five days, I think the other crew members on the ship will also agree to go to Algiers. After all, this is equivalent to their usual half-month salary."

Luo Fei saw that I made a smile "as expected" at him, and then looked at who I love and Long Aotian.

"I think this risk is worth taking." I naturally have the same opinion as who I am, and Long Aotian rarely agrees with their statement, and also showed off his muscles to others: "Even if there is a pirate, I will take the lead in killing them!"

So after the final negotiation, the Seagull set sail towards Algiers.

On the first day of the two-day journey, the sea was calm and the waves were still calm. Not to mention pirates, they didn't even encounter other merchant ships, which made Luo Fei feel a little relieved.

But the next morning, when the voyage was less than one day before Algiers, the lookout hand suddenly rang the warning bell on the lookout pole!!

"What's wrong? What's wrong!" Luo Fei, as the captain, ran quickly below the lookout pole, while Oliver, who was usually patrolling on the deck, arrived under the lookout pole faster and asked with his head raised.

"It seems like a fleet of ships came from a distance, with about five ships!" At this time, the lookout Yuriland had seen it more clearly than when he was warning: "It seems to be Barbarodin's pirate ship!!"

"What??Barbarodin's five pirate ships?" Oliver was frightened and looked deserted.

Seeing Luo Fei like Oliver, he knew that this group of pirates would definitely be difficult to deal with, but he, who was both the Captain of the Seagull and the Captain of the Player Squad, had to bite the bullet and ask Oliver: "Who is Barbaroding? Is he very powerful?"

"He is a red-bearded pirate who is terrified by many European navies!" Oliver pointed to the front of the Seagull. At this time, the pirate fleet in the distance was getting closer and closer. Even Luo Fei under the observation pole had seen five increasingly larger black spots rushing towards this side!

"According to rumors, when the five pirate ships of Barbarodin gathered, there will definitely be no less than 500 pirates on the ship, and there must be more than 200 cannons that can fire together!" Oliver, who was still in shock, even began to persuade Luo Fei: "This powerful force cannot be stopped by our dozens of people in the Seagull. I suggest we surrender directly! Although this will lose money and goods, at least they will not hurt our lives. The Seagull will also let us drive away safely!"
