Chapter 445: Let professionals do it
Thanks to Pete and others who happened to be at the airship dock when the Golden Tide Windbreaker made an emergency landing, they were able to start rescue immediately.
Just as Pete said.
All the passengers on the airship were saved.
No one died.
Miranda was busy treating those people one by one according to the severity of their injuries.
Moreover, the fire on the airship was effectively contained.
The burning flames were hit head-on by the [Blizzard], and the fire points visible outside were quickly extinguished.
When the Countess of Ceylon and other rescuers who arrived after seeing the topic post posted by Reina in the Holy Church of Truth arrived one after another, everyone worked together to enter the airship cabin and completely extinguished the fire.
The entire airship was not directly burned to ashes, and the overall large frame was saved.
Of course, if you want it to take off again, it is actually not much different from rebuilding an airship.
Captain Ronald has been in a state of depression since he woke up. He squatted on the ground and looked at the tattered Jinchao Pofeng, muttering something.
Pete leaned over to listen:
"The Carron Commercial Aviation Alliance stipulates that flight accident insurance can reimburse up to 80% of the airship maintenance costs. The problem is... it will take at least two months for the airship to be returned to the factory for repair. How much income will I lose for this!"
"The net profit of a transport after deducting the cost is 15 gold coins, and the route takes about 5 days. This means a loss of nearly 200 gold coins!"
"Damn it! I'd better figure out how to cash out the maintenance fee and just buy another second-hand airship!"
Pet's face was full of black lines.
It should be said, worthy of being a goblin.
After the airship made an emergency landing and luckily saved his life, Captain Ronald was not afraid, and did not learn the lessons of the airship's lack of maintenance that led to the accident. The first thing he thought about was his gold coins!
Or so to say.
Ronald actually knew that the Golden Tide Windbreaker would have an accident sooner or later, but since it hadn't happened yet, he dared to continue to take off and sail until the day of the accident!
"Cough! Cough!"
Pet cleared his throat to attract the other party's attention.
Ronald's small body shook violently.
His white sailor suit, which originally fit the goblin's body style, had turned into a mixture of black, gray and white due to the previous smoke and fire, and a lot of black ash fell off with this shake.
"Captain Ronald, I think I need to remind you."
"When your airship made an emergency landing, our rescue of you and the passengers on the airship was out of humanity, and everyone's life is worth cherishing."
"But helping you put out the fire on the airship and the subsequent treatment are not free."
"Should we talk about the cost?"
Ronald, who was covered in dust, almost bulged out of his iconic big eyes when he heard it.
Pointing at Pete in disbelief, he said in shock:
"Fee?!"
"Sir Qinar! I didn't ask to hire you! Whether it's putting out the fire or the subsequent treatment of the passengers, aren't these all done voluntarily by you?"
"Why should I bear the corresponding expenses for it!"
The goblin Ronald said confidently.
Not long after waking up, he recognized Pete and others. After all, it was Pete and the others who temporarily repaired the airship during the last accident, and Ronald was deeply impressed by this.
When Pete and others were fighting the fire, Ronald was still crying and expressing his gratitude to them, screaming "This is the second time you have saved me" and so on.
When he heard that Pete was going to ask for money.
He immediately turned his face and refused to recognize him.
"Didn't you also take the initiative and voluntarily carry out emergency repairs on the airship last time?"
"According to Article 3, Article 5 of the Carron Commercial Aviation Alliance, passengers have no right to modify or adjust airship parts without permission. The captain has the right to hold passengers accountable and require them to pay a reasonable amount of fines!"
"It's good that I didn't ask you for compensation. You actually want to take money from my pocket?!"
Captain Ronald memorized the various regulations of the "Carron Commercial Aviation Alliance" by heart, and he spoke fluently, his mouth opening and closing, chattering non-stop.
Pate rolled his eyes speechlessly.
He knew it would be like this.
The goblins are famous on the mainland for their love of defaulting on debts and taking advantage of loopholes.
Before he asked Ronald to "charge a fee", Pete had almost guessed that this would be the result.
In short, the other party would definitely not admit this account.
If Pete was still the same as when he just came back from Green Port, he would have to bear the loss.
After all, he did volunteer to help.
Last time, there was no choice. No matter whether Ronald was willing to pay or not, if they didn't find a way to fix the airship, he would die with the airship.
This time, there was a choice.
Pete could turn a blind eye to the airship's forced landing accident with his companions, just waiting for the airship to be engulfed in flames and all the passengers to die in the sea of fire.
But Pete didn't plan to do that.
Because when he saw the familiar Golden Tide Windbreaker again, and it was the kind that had an accident, Pete had an idea in his mind:
I want to reach the Stone Fort as quickly as possible.
The normal goblin airship routes have been temporarily suspended, so this route is not feasible.
But what if he can find an "abnormal" airship route?
The Golden Tide Windbreaker is obviously an opportunity!
If we can get the captain of the airship, Ronald, to ask for help, and let him temporarily fly a direct flight to Stone Castle, wouldn't this be a success?
Even taking a step back.
If we can't deal with Captain Ronald, we can deal with the airship, Jinchao Pofeng, and maybe it will work!
Driving knowledge can be exchanged and learned from the great god of knowledge, Norwen, with destiny points, as long as the airship is not restricted to goblins!
Therefore, the focus of the problem falls on how to "solve" the goblin captain Ronald.
Ask Ronald for the cost of fire fighting and treatment. With Pete's level, he will definitely not be able to argue with these green-skinned little guys who are good at playing tricks.
Fortunately, Pete this time is no longer the same person who just returned to Ceylon.
He has learned to use magic to fight magic!
"Okay..."
Pete only said one word, then smiled and turned sideways, revealing another green-skinned little guy waiting behind him.
Hugo Xiwei gave the other party a "kind" smile with ill intentions.
"Captain Ronald."
"We are all kind-hearted people in the Church of Seeking Knowledge. Firefighting and treatment can be free, no problem."
"Then, what about the goods that should have been transported here with the airship?"
"The goods ordered by Xiwei Venture Commercial Investment Company did not arrive on time."
"I bought the on-time arrival insurance for the Jinchao Pofeng - full insurance."
...
There will be 3+1 more chapters later. Guozi will continue after eating a meal.
