Although 1,000 gold coins were insignificant to Thunder Island, being able to establish a connection with Merchant John was something that could not be measured by a mere few gold coins.
So, Mo Meng said without hesitation, "Glad to be of service to Lord John!"
Even his address changed, which was enough to prove John's standing in his heart, and while John appeared calm on the surface, he was already incredibly excited inside.
Hiccup had once told John that the more excited he was, the less he should speak; instead, he should take deep breaths to control his expression.
John secretly took three deep breaths, then slightly raised his chin, looked at Mo Meng, and said, "I need you to tell those noble lords outside about the 500,000 gold coin bounty!"
Mo Meng immediately hesitated and asked, "Our people from Thunder Island can directly capture the Night Fury, so why should we bring these good-for-nothings?"
"And why should we share the 500,000 bounty with them?"
Merchant John said with a fake smile, "Because only I know this news, and only I can personally take you there!"
Then Merchant John stood up directly from his chair, looked at Mo Meng calmly, and said, "Because I want these good-for-nothings to willingly put gold coins into my pocket!"
Mo Meng was stunned when he heard this, before he could even praise John.
John, however, tidied his clothes and said, "This is definitely a business that guarantees profit without loss!"
"After these noble lords' armies go, they can serve as cannon fodder and engage in battle with the Night Fury's tribe! When both sides are heavily wounded, you can directly lead your fleet to destroy both forces!"
"This way, you not only get the Night Fury and claim the bounty, but after returning, you can also directly lead your fleet to invade the territories of these noble lords!"
"Anyway, their armies have already died on the battlefield, and their territories are ownerless lands, just like Thunder Island; whoever goes there, it belongs to them!"
When he heard this, Mo Meng's eyes began to turn red, and his younger brother Mo Du, hidden behind the house, also breathed rapidly after hearing the news.
Because this not only meant they could get the bounty but also acquire more islands and slaves, and the fleet's scale could be expanded several times over.
At that time, they could obtain even more gold coins, and it would definitely be a guaranteed profit.
These brothers were moved, but John maintained his fake smile and deliberately pretended to be in a hurry to leave.
It seemed to imply, if you don't agree, I can find someone else; someone will surely be willing to do these things...
Mo Meng quickly clenched his right fist and pounded his chest in a salute, saying, "Lord John's news is truly helpful! At that time, my Thunder Island is willing to give Lord John 100,000 gold coins as compensation!"
"Of course, I'll handle these noble lords outside; they will definitely be willing to cooperate with us and send troops!"
John said indifferently, "My fleet will stop outside Thunder Island for two days! After two days, I will set off with the other pirate groups!"
"After all, I've already made arrangements with them; it's impossible for me to wait for you alone!"
"Don't worry, don't worry! I will definitely sort them out within a day!" Mo Meng said confidently!
After Merchant John walked out of the stone house, he left surrounded by the other Dragon Knights.
After returning to the warship, he quickly closed the door and sat limply on the bed.
Because that pirate leader Mo Meng had a fierce look, and when he spoke, he carried an aura as if he was going to devour people, John had been enduring to finish all the negotiations!
But what happened today also made him incredibly excited; even after lying on the bed for a long time, his heart was still racing.
This was something he would never have dared to imagine before; it was already good enough that his ship hadn't been plundered by pirates, and it was impossible for him to be welcomed as a distinguished guest...
And after John left, Mo Meng immediately changed his expression.
And he walked directly into another room, found his younger brother Mo Du, and said, "How could this cunning Merchant John hand over such a good thing to us?"
"His warship is outside Thunder Island; if we launch an attack, we can definitely take down his merchant fleet, and for such a long time, I've heard that he has sold many pieces of information, so he should have a lot of gold coins!"
"At that time, we can search for maps on his ship and then continue to sell information!"
Mo Du, however, shook his head and said, "Mo Meng, you can't be so impulsive when doing things! You need to use your brain!"
Although he didn't care that his younger brother never called him 'older brother,' he felt somewhat sad deep down, but he never brought it up.
And he also admitted that his younger brother's ability and insight were stronger than his own.
Then, Mo Du continued, "What we can think of, other pirate groups can definitely think of too, after all, they are not fools!"
"Even if they are all fools, they can resist not making a move on the gold coins on John's ship! This already explains everything! So we also cannot make a move! We can only seize the opportunity amidst the chaos!"
Mo Meng nodded and said, "Okay! I understand! I'll go find Baron Jonaf now! Let him inform the other noble lords about this news!"
"I believe they will go crazy after hearing this news! After all, for these guys, gold coins no longer have much appeal!"
"They prefer adventure! And the world's only remaining Night Fury!"
On the evening of the second day, Mo Meng gathered Merchant John and these noble lords together and held a grand banquet.
At this banquet, John sat beside Earl Jonaf, clearly the two people of the highest status...
That night, all the noble lords cheered, anticipating a grand adventure, and even more so, their upcoming battle.
And Earl Jonaf even stood up directly, raised his wine glass, and said, "This time, I will dispatch a fleet of 200,000 men! And personally capture this Night Fury to offer to His Majesty the King!"
"Oh~~!"
"Earl is indeed powerful!"
"With Earl dispatching so many soldiers, that Night Fury will surely feel honored!"
"Yes! Even if we jointly send troops and follow behind Earl's fleet, it will still be a rare honor for us!"
A group of people showered him with all sorts of flattery, and Earl Jonaf's beard even distorted from smiling, and he raised his wine glass high, saying, "May Odin be with us!"
"May Odin be with us!"
"May Odin be with us!"
