13. Unaffordable prices
There is a saying that goes.
There must be brave men under heavy rewards.
Although Jack Sparrow didn't know this, he traveled around the world and knew this truth. When he tripled his wages for carrying rum, a group of dock workers were moved.
They flocked into Wang Bo's bar and moved boxes of rum to the dock.
At this time, Jack Sparrow had already thrown the magic ship into the sea.
After the magic ship as big as a palm came into contact with the sea water, it expanded rapidly as if it was filled with air. In just a few seconds, it turned into a ship dozens of meters in size.
This scene shocked many workers working on the docks.
Then, amid the amazement of the crowd, Jack Sparrow directed the workers to move the rum to the magic boat, and then drove away from Port Royal.
As for the workers' wages, Jack Sparrow had no intention of paying them at all.
After all, he is a pirate.
The workers only realized that they had been fooled after seeing the magic ship leaving, but none of them dared to stop it. After all, the form of this magic ship appeared was too magical, and everyone had been scared long ago, so naturally they did not dare to ask for wages.
From the beginning, Jack Sparrow made a fortune.
This group of simple workers was used by him.
It was not until Jack Sparrow drove the port away from the magic ship that the workers spat disdainfully, expressing their respect for Jack Sparrow.
When Wang Bo saw this scene in the bar, he couldn't help but shake his head. Because he knew very well that Jack Sparrow would not care about the complaints of these workers at all, after all, he was a pirate that everyone despised.
After sending Jack Sparrow away, Wang Bo returned to his previous peaceful life. In the next few days, the bar still had no improvement and no one came.
But Wang Bo doesn't care. Anyway, he doesn't expect to make money by opening a bar.
That afternoon, Wang Bo sat on the lounge chair next to the bar, basking in the sun lazily. The door of the bar was suddenly pushed open and a blonde woman walked in from outside.
Wang Bo said without raising his head, "What do you want to drink? Guest?"
However, the woman asked irresponsible, "I heard from the people in the town, are you a pirate?"
Wang Bo couldn't help but frown and looked up at the girl who walked in, trying to see who was so rude. A woman in a gorgeous robe standing in front of him had a tender face, slender fingers, and clean clothes, which was completely different from the ordinary women trapped in life outside.
This is a noble girl who is not a child and is spoiled. In Port Royal, there are not many such girls, and there seems to be only one noble woman who is interested in pirates.
"Elizabeth Swan?"
The blonde woman took a step back. She had never seen each other before, but she did not expect that the bar owner could tell her identity in one word, which made her wary.
"Do you know me?"
"I've heard of it." Wang Bo said: "After all, there are not many noble ladies who are interested in pirates these days."
Elizabeth asked curiously: "How do you know I'm interested in pirates."
She didn't seem to have told anyone about this. Even her father didn't know about it. In fact, she yearned for the life of pirates.
Instead of burning, killing, looting, but freedom. Yes, what she yearns for is a free life like pirates, which can allow herself to jump out of the aristocratic education full of depression and constraints, and thus gain true freedom.
"Because I know magic. So I know a lot of things."
"Are you a wizard?"
"To be precise, it's a magician."
"Is there any difference?" Elizabeth didn't understand. In her opinion, a wizard is a magician, and a magician is a wizard.
"There are subtle differences between the two, but there is nothing wrong with seeing me as a wizard." Wang Bo was too lazy to explain this to Elizabeth, so he said so.
Elizabeth said: "So, you can predict the future."
"Yes." Wang Bo nodded. He did learn several prophetic magic from Mrs. Jimonry.
"So you're not a pirate."
"Of course, I knew I was not a pirate, so I was disappointed." Wang Bo looked at Elizabeth with a smile.
Elizabeth smiled and said, "It is more exciting to meet a mysterious magician than to meet a pirate. Can I ask why a magician like you come to a small place like Port Royal."
Wang Bo said: "It's probably because it's boring."
"What do you want to do in Port Royal?" she asked vigilantly. This was her father's territory, and she had to ask clearly.
Wang Bo shook his head and said, "I can't do anything."
"Really?" Elizabeth was a little disbelief.
"Do you think I will deceive you?" Wang Bo asked back. He felt that there was no need to deceive a little girl.
Elizabeth looked at Wang Bo half-believingly, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, I believe you once."
Wang Bo laughed and didn't say anything.
Elizabeth looked at Wang Bo's disapproval and gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, I came to you today. I originally wanted to ask you something, but now I can be sure that the ship that appeared in the port a few days ago must have something to do with you."
Only then did Wang Bo understand Elizabeth’s purpose, “It turns out you are for the magic ship.”
"Yes."
"What do you want to do?"
"I want to buy you a magic ship." Elizabeth said seriously. Since she heard about the magic ship, she has been unable to sleep at night, hoping that she would have such a magic ship.
That's why she came to the bar.
Originally, she wanted to inquire about Wang Bo about the owner of the magic ship, but she didn't expect that Wang Bo was actually a magician, so Elizabeth immediately understood.
That magic ship is definitely inseparable from Wang Bo, maybe it was created by Wang Bo.
Wang Bo asked with interest: "I do have a magic ship here, but you can't afford it."
"You offer a price." Elizabeth is the daughter of a governor after all, and she is quite confident in money.
Wang Bo did not immediately give a price, but instead briefly explained the function of the magic ship, and then asked: "How many gold coins do you think such a magic ship is worth?"
Elizabeth was not a fool, and immediately realized that such a magic ship was simply priceless.
Not to mention the others, just talking about the water and food that can never be used is enough to make countless people crazy.
