Chapter 559 Red Bearded Pirate
But first, Su Mo must be able to contact the Molik family.
Go directly to the door and tell the guard, "I have kidnapped your Master Todd. Please let me see Master Todd's father quickly. I want to extort two million gold coins."
In less than ten minutes, the whole of Tallinn will probably know about it.
Everyone knows that it is not in Su Mo's interests. What he needs is that only Master Todd's father, the Minister of Taxation, Earl Gresham Molick, knows.
The federal taxation is jointly managed by five ministers. Duke Gibson Morlick is the chief tax minister, and Earl Gresham Morlick is also the tax minister. In fact, the taxation area is already dominated by the Morlick family.
The old aristocracy is dominating in various ways, the new aristocracy is struggling to find its own foundation, and the contradiction between the old and new aristocrats is becoming increasingly acute.
It is not easy to meet Earl Gresham Molik. He is different from his father. His father, Duke Molik, is almost from a grassroots background. He can put his body down and will accept anyone who is useful to him.
, it is possible to hold hands and talk heart to heart even late at night.
When Earl Gresham Morlick was born, his family was already wealthy, wealthy and well-established, but he was very approachable.
If ordinary merchants wanted to see him, they might not be able to do so even if they had to pay tens of thousands of gold coins. However, if Su Mo could meet him, he wouldn't have to spend as much money as a merchant.
Because Su Mo is a lord, he is already considered a noble.
However, Su Mo didn't want to use his identity to meet the earl in a ostentatious manner, nor did he want to use transformation to disguise himself as a nobleman, which would cause the federation to be wary of transformation.
A previous trip to the federal prison alerted the federal prison, which was more than worth the loss for Su Mo.
Even if he is disguising now, he does not want to pretend to be someone with a name and surname that is easy for him to know. Mr. Max can be active in Tallinn for so many years and no one knows about it, which shows that he can keep a low profile.
Su Mo chose to go to the tavern to investigate. He used a pirate hat to disguise himself as a pirate.
The pirate culture is prosperous in this world. The King of Pirates, the Top Ten Pirates, etc. have a large number of "fans" in the world of ordinary people. There should not be too many people dressed as pirates on the street.
Just be careful not to dress up like a wanted pirate.
A pirate dressed as Su Mo walked into a pirate culture-themed tavern. Although there were mostly fake pirates inside, there were always some real pirates.
"A glass of golden rum and a piece of barbecue." Su Mo threw out ten gold coins.
It immediately attracted the attention of the drunkards. A glass of golden rum cost three gold coins, which was considered one of the most expensive drinks. Barbecue was only incidental. Ten gold coins were given to three gold coins, which was naturally a request.
I hope I can help this person who was taken advantage of, so that the gold coins in his wallet will change his surname.
"I want to meet Count Gresham Molik, who can do it?" Su Mo played with a golden coin. The image on it was the founding emperor of the Satyr Empire. After so many years, everyone still uses this kind of gold coin.
.
There was silence for a moment in the tavern, and then everyone began to be busy minding their own business.
What's the point of paying attention to food you can't eat? It's better to drink.
After a while, someone sat next to Su Mo. He was a burly man with a red face and a big beard. He had a lot of beard, but his head was bald and shiny, as if the hair had accidentally grown in the wrong place.
"Just call me Red Beard. I also want to drink golden rum."
"Give him a drink." Su Mo looked at the bartender.
The bartender immediately complied with the request. If Su Mo went crazy and invited everyone in the bar to drink, he wouldn't mind. Anyway, the more he drank, the more he would earn.
"Ha!" After drinking more than half of the glass in one gulp, Red Beard let out a comfortable sigh.
In pirate culture, people don’t drink slowly, but they also don’t drink it all in one go. This kind of wine glass made of hollow wood with a thick mouth is as high as twenty centimeters, so it’s a bit difficult to drink it all in one go.
So half a cup is a way to drink it that is both heroic and not wasteful.
"If you can let me see Count Gresham Molik, I will give you a thousand gold coins." Su Mo said.
"Brother, what's your background? It doesn't look like he's a surfer." Redbeard didn't agree or refuse. Instead, he began to test Su Mo's origins. Su Mo was dressed in standard pirate clothing, and his skin was dark and covered with cracks. Everyone in the know knew that.
He is a real pirate.
But no real pirate would take a thousand gold coins to meet a noble.
Treading the waves is a professional term that refers to those who make a living in the sea. It can refer to fishermen or pirates, but at this moment, it naturally does not refer to fishermen.
"I have a deal I want to discuss with Earl Gresham Molik. Don't question my identity. Captain Sam will be angry." Su Mo said in a low voice.
When he heard the word Captain Sam, the red-bearded man trembled violently. Fortunately, half of the wine in his glass was already drunk, otherwise he would have spilled it.
When the pirate king disappeared, the ten pirates became the most powerful people on the sea.
Whether it is Old Sam, Captain Sam, or the real name of Sam Bellamy, it can chill all pirates to the bone.
"I'll help you meet Count Morik. You can wait here for news from me." Red Beard also knew that Su Mo couldn't give him the money first, so he didn't bother.
After he went out, adventurers immediately followed him from a distance.
After Su Mo finished drinking, he stood up and left. When he returned to the hotel where he was staying, he took off his hat and became his original self again.
The information bar has been flashing information, which is the result of the guild brothers' tracking and investigation.
Even though Su Mo was the only one who appeared today after transforming into a pirate, people were arranged to investigate in the tavern, around Earl Molik's mansion and other related places.
"Red Beard bought something, a kind of pastry, and it cost four gold coins."
"Redbeard went to the Earl's Palace."
"Redbeard is in."
"Red Beard came out, and there was someone with him."
"Redbeard started walking back."
"Red Beard is going into the bar."
At this time, Su Mo had already changed into another hat and entered the bar in advance.
The transfiguration lasted only an hour, so he couldn't sit there and wait all the time, even if he had more than one hat.
"Is it you who meets the count?" asked the man who followed the red beard.
"Yes." Su Mo nodded.
"Are you Captain Sam's man?"
"Yes." Su Mo continued to nod.
"How much money did you bring?"
"very many."
"Come with me." The man didn't drink either and walked out first.
