The wooden bridge that stretched out to sea was narrow enough to moor a few small paddle boats, and a little further away there were a few wooden stakes that were erected in what was known as the unloading area, with a hill of broken barrels and construction debris, and the only roofed building being demolished from the nearby abandoned farm.

Of course, you can't expect a pirate-funded port to compare to the harbor of the capital of a kingdom, but Loria was really surprised by its simplicity, and for a long time she had been slandering her so-called allies, but she would always complain whenever anyone caused a conversation.

She knew that the coast of the North Sea was not suitable for a harbor at all, that there was no stretch of coastline within her reach that was sufficient for a large ship to dock, and perhaps something else disgusted her with these pirates - such as their madness and atrocities of the Scarlet Crusaders, such as their raunchyness and rudeness - the latter was fine, and no foolish pirate would trouble her on land, but the former had stuck in her throat...... Even if she traded with these people for the sake of living space, the dirty blood on their hands could still stain her body.

The Scarlet Crusaders weren't much better, but people were always stricter, weren't they, even Miss Loria.

When the brig silhouette flag appeared on the shore under the red sun, Loria was relieved, no matter how unbearable, at least the pirates moved quickly in a profitable situation, and brought what she needed as promised...... In order to ensure that misfortunes such as large debts do not come again, and to show that they are selfless, Loria and Anne find a few people who can do the accounting work, and finally settle the accounts between her and the abbey...... Although she still needs to advance the funds for the operation of the entire army, it has also made many people understand the situation...... With tax cuts, salaries, and drab but ample food all built on her purse, it's obvious who to listen to.

The crusaders and pirates each rowed a small boat to the vicinity of the roughly halfway point between the ship and the coast, and the first deal was made as agreed—four barrels of wine and thirty-nine barrels of flour for twenty barrels of air-dried herbs.

Snowman is rich in abundant but rarely known herbs, and the Bloodsail Pirates can grab everything, except for food and wine, and their consumption is far greater than what they plunder.

Of course, gold and precious stones were also pirate favorites, as they were valuable and portable...... Apparently the recent gold coins have become worse and worse, almost as much as a silver coin twenty years ago, and even pirates have stopped collecting them (the source of the bad coins seems to be those adventurers who have appeared out of nowhere, and now their large quantities of inferior gold coins have taken over the market, squeezing the high gold coins out of circulation).

The crusaders at the end of the circulation suffered particularly severely, and they realized that they could only obtain funds through hidden channels, and exchanged a large amount of supplies for a pile of copper-doped garbage at an extremely low price. Loria's debt is so large because of this, which is why she is eager to get in touch with the pirates.

As for future plans...... Loria squinted at the officers waving the flag on the boat, which had been prepared long ago and left the poor harbor to carry barrels of surplus grain to the vicinity of the center line...... She is unwilling to let pirates grab the largest part of the profits in trade, and she holds the key to another world, once she has a channel for circulation, I am afraid that she will become a huge fortune overnight.

The ships of both sides met the side, inspected the goods, and then sent them to each other's place, and they obviously needed each other but did not have any trust.

Half an hour after the first transaction, the crusaders and pirates had managed to build a minimum of trust, and they began to make small exchanges one after another...... Grain, wine, and gold were exchanged for expensive special materials, tools made by dwarves who could sell well for snow, and a variety of fine crafts.

The empire was far more vast than any kingdom in Azeroth had ever had ever had the most unrealistic ambitions, and the Nord nobles to the east guarded several gold mines, and these tyrants didn't care much about the price of goods from a stronger world, as Clement had told her that a fool had paid a handful of graveyard moss to adorn his luxurious collection cabinet.

As long as this route continues, it won't be long before she can make up her debts—in order to facilitate trade, the craftsmen have begun to smelt and reforge the gold coins with the gold content of twenty years ago and the Imperial gold coins circulating in the sky, and the finished product is not much different from the gold coins commonly used by Xueman, although the actual debt has not decreased, but in terms of quantity, it can give her a comfort...... 17,000 Imperial Gold Coins.

The most valuable supplies were placed last, perhaps because all previous deals had been successful, and the Bloodsail Pirates let their guard down, agreeing to pull the boat to the pier so that Miss Loria could inspect the goods herself.

Taking the small bag respectfully handed by the guard, Loria casually looked through it, then nodded and turned away, without glancing at the nervous pirates, who felt that the Crusader madmen had become terrible once they were on land.

Fortunately, Loria had no intention of breaking the contract, and a box of purified gold was delivered to the pirates.

……

It's been three months since the little pink squirrel brought the news that they weren't alone, and she hasn't visited again, but Barka has gradually adapted to life on the island, wrapping himself in animal skins and making rows of footprints in the snow that make him uncomfortable...... He felt a little sad at the thought of the animal fur on which he kept warm, and the stupid animals no longer approached him lightly...... How innocent and lovely they used to be, to approach a man like him with blood on his hands unsuspectingly, until his neck was twisted and unbelievable.

He rubbed his eyes, and for the first time in his life, he sincerely prayed to the Light for forgiveness of his sins on this peaceful island.

At first, he felt lonely and bored, wandering around anxiously every day, hoping that Loria would soon bring him back, but now, he no longer wanted to go back to that place where the filth was hidden, and he felt sick when he thought about what he had done.

The next moment, however, he would change his mind and want to escape from this place, feeling that he didn't deserve to live here.

When he came to the shore, he easily picked up a lot of fish from the sand pit and walked along the shore again.

He no longer eats meat, at least not the stupid animals of the woodlands and grasslands, and he can't bear to look directly at their clean pupils.

As for the fish, who made them grow two dead fish eyes? (To be continued.) )
