147 This time is enough chapters(1/2)
After a day's rest, everyone gathered together early in the morning to discuss how to go to the sea.
"There are no ships that can hold our tanks now. Unless we wait here for fifteen days, there will be ships coming from Azkh, the tank that can take us." Haiweis reported on his inquiries from the port.
Lifa: "Where should we buy a boat ourselves?"
Masha immediately asked her: "Do you have money?"
"No, I'll ask." Lifa shrugged, "What should I do? Wait for fifteen days?"
"If you don't take the land route, although it will cost a lot of coal, it is better than not moving." Ji Muli suggested.
Masha held his chin: "I think about it... I don't have a shipping company in this city that can rent a ship for us? We can still find a way to free up the money."
In fact, the main reason was that the boss had not lost the gold coins before, which led to Masha and his party being very poor now. They originally wanted to find the municipal government to get some benefits, but the municipal government did not admit that they were in a crisis at all.
After fighting a boss, there is no return - well, it cannot be said that it is zero return. Masha's strength has increased. If this strength increase is also considered a return, then the profit of fighting the Demon-Demon High Lord is quite large.
But it’s more uncomfortable to have no money.
Haiweis: "I asked, there is a shipping company here. It does have a cargo ship that can barely carry our tanks. The ship will return to the port the day after tomorrow, but the next booking is to go to the dry dock for maintenance and will not continue sailing after six months."
Lifa: "Is the ship broken?"
"Didn't you listen to it as routine maintenance? Elf is really, with long ears and short knowledge, and mechanical items need to be maintained daily to ensure good operation." Without asking, this was definitely said by Ji Muli, the number one anti-elves in the team.
Lifa: "So we don't trust machinery. Although we elves also have some war machinery, we mainly rely on magic. Magic does not need to be maintained regularly."
Jimuli: "That is magic so unreliable, and machinery, as long as you maintain it effectively, it will definitely respond to your expectations."
Masha: "Are you two finished? Enough!"
The elf and the shorts shut up together.
It can be seen that Masha now has absolute leadership in the team.
After all, Masha has turned the tide so many times.
After the two of them calmed down, Masha picked up the "intellectual hat" placed on the table and put it on her head.
The moment he put his head on, he felt his thoughts become clearer.
"The ship is just routine maintenance, not if there is any actual problem, we can ask the ship company to go on a trip and send us to Azkh and then carry us in maintenance after we come back.
"Their main objection should be that the rental fee for the dry dock has been paid."
Masha continued following this idea: "We should be able to convince the shipping company if we only pay a portion of the money for renting dry docks in addition to the cost of the ship."
Haiweis: "It sounds very expensive."
"It's extra money." Masha held his chin, "We have to find a way to make money."
Lifa frowned slightly: "Don't say that money is so ugly."
"Because you will probably not get any money in a short while with the right method now." Masha looked at Andrea, "Do you know what is very famous on the East Coast, but there are no semicolon banks in nearby cities?"
Andrea: "You say Imperial Bank? This bank is the Ingris Bank. It is currently the Red Mountain Colonial Corps in the Imperial Colonial region, but the entire East Coast knows them."
"Very good." Masha smiled.
He already knew how to have a lot of money right away.
Of course not really owned.
But when the shipping company found out that he did not have it, others had already arrived in Azkh.
"Do you know what the Imperial Bank check looks like?" Masha asked.
Andrea nodded: "Of course I know, I used to be rich."
Shirley raised her hand: "I know, I have been rich too."
"Who are sure to draw the check based on the memory in your mind?"
This time, only Andrea raised his hand: "I can. I am an engineer and I am good at drawing."
Tiana: "Wait a minute, isn't the hardest thing to imitate a check? Like our dwarf banks, check seals are stamped with the highest existing technology, and it's extremely difficult to forge them."
Andrea smiled: "That's a dwarf. We humans don't have such advanced things. Besides, many people think that checks are fake and useless, because banks can quickly confirm whether there is such a person through telegram."
Masha: "That is only possible for the same bank to do it, and different banks do not share account information."
In fact, bank reconciliation is not a weekly match in this era, because someone has to bring the head office’s accounts from the head office.
Of course, banks have now started to update their accounts with telegrams, but it also takes time to pass the telegram. If the telegrapher first withdraws the money before the telegrapher translates the telegram and hands it over to the bank, at least it can be repeated withdrawals in two different places.
So in theory, in this era, as long as you run fast enough, you can withdraw cash repeatedly from the same account at banks in different places.
If it's fast enough.
Masha doesn't intend to show it repeatedly, so he has no account and no money.
He was going to forge a check, write as much as he lacked, and hand it over to the shipping company openly.
Of course, there is a crucial issue in implementing this plan: in the absence of a way to immediately verify the authenticity of the check, how to make the other party believe that the check is true.
As for the solution to this problem, Masha has also figured out.
——We have Andrea in our team. When this guy dresses up, he looks like the old Ingris nobleman in the marble flag.
With a pointed eared, extremely gorgeous elf maid, now no one can believe it.
As soon as Masha said his thoughts in full, everyone looked at each other and thought it was feasible.
Only Lifa objected: "Why do I have to be a maid? Can't I pretend to be a special envoy of the Elf Kingdom?"
Jimuli: "You elves, do you have a bank? Do you have a check?"
Lifa was speechless for a moment: "This...is because we think this institution that makes money by making money is a social borer, so..."
Ji Muli had already burst into laughter: "Hahaha, listen to this statement. The bank looks like a borer, but it will bring vitality to business. You must not understand this, right?"
Masha agreed: "This time you are short-sighted. Banks are a thing that makes people love and hate. Financial capitalists are really disgusting, but they have to endure this disgusting in order to develop."
"Anyway, let's take action? Should we go now, or what?" Shirley asked, "Actually, I'm also a young lady, but now I look a little bit hot, but I think there shouldn't be a big problem for me to play a maid. But then I have to solve the problem of wigs."
Masha: "No, just pretend to be a magician who follows the eldest lady. As for me... I am too famous, I won't come out tomorrow. Ji Muli and others will be waiting for you outside."
Ji Muli: "Don't you have to pretend to be a servant?"
Masha: "Am I like a servant?"
"You are not like, you are like our leader."
"That's it. Tomorrow, Andrea, you will be the patron of our adventure, and I will be the expedition leader you hired, the kind of special explorer I will be responsible for you during the journey, but you are actually the big funder of this expedition team. Do you understand this setting?"
Andrea nodded: "I understand, I understand so much. My father and Rhett often take the financial backers to explore, and he regards this as an additional challenge."
"Why do you know what your dad thinks? Didn't he be killed by Dekin when you were born?" Gwendolin had been closing his eyes and resting, but now he suddenly opened his eyes and asked.
"Of course it was what Reed Beth told me." When talking about Reed Beth, Andrea's voice obviously stuttered.
Obviously, Reid Beth's departure is still a place Andrea can't bear to touch.
Gwendolyn: "I will pray for that Reed. So, what do I need to do for this action?"
"No, just cover your horn and stay there. There will be healers like priests in the expedition team. It is more reasonable for you to watch with us. And I will trouble you tomorrow with Andrea, they have no ability to deal with the raids..."
Lifa: "I have!"
Haiweis: "Hey, Madam Elf, don't compete with the Ranger for alert positions unless you are a thief or a ranger or something."
The traditional dungeon team generally has a profession responsible for reconnaissance and preventing the team from being attacked by sneak attacks.
In the rules of Dragons and Dungeons, once you are ambushed or ambushed by the enemy, you will be shocked by a certain number of rounds, which is very fatal.
Therefore, there can be no tanks, no orthodox healers, no mages, but there must be no reconnaissance profession.
In addition, the reconnaissance profession is also responsible for detecting and removing traps.
Although Lifa does not have much adventure experience, he is an elf agent and has received a lot of training. He will not be able to do this without children.
So Lifa sighed: "Okay OK, but the question is we have to pretend to be a lady and a follower. What is your furry identity?"
Haiweis spread her hands: "It's okay to be a pet or a jester. There is such a role next to the young lady. In addition, I am quite good at playing a jester. I used to work part-time in the Grand Theater for a while and played this type of role.
"It's a pity that the Grand Theater changed its plays later, so I didn't continue to work part-time."
Masha: "If you continue to work part-time, we may have met in the Grand Theater. We don't have to wait until so many big things happen later."
"You can get your ranger!" Haiweis pointed at Masha with both hands and put on a playful pose.
Masha shrugged and then made a decision: "Okay, today two former rich women who have seen Imperial Bank checks will copy the checks. Tomorrow we will go to the ship company to requisition the ship."
Because he didn't spend money on other people's boats, Masha used the term "requisition".
But Lifa suddenly said, "Is this OK? Otherwise, I'd better leave a white stick for the Elf Kingdom and let me find the Elf Kingdom to repay it in the future?"
Masha patted Lifa on the shoulder: "You don't understand?" After our success, we would say that we arrived at Azkh on a ship from some company. In this way, their reputation will rise sharply and their business will be prosperous immediately. They will make a profit.
"As for our failure, this world is afraid that this company will not be left. Think about it, Dekin's subordinates occupied the port before, and naturally dominated the company. Under the control of Deerpus, they did not even have free will."
Ji Muli: "Let's take a step back, we are also their great benefactors. What's wrong with borrowing their ship for free?"
"Yes, no me," Masha patted his chest, "everyone in this company is Dilpos' dog."
