Chapter 56: The Irim War
"Going to the Great Voyage? Why?" Du Hang raised an eyebrow, feeling strange at the invitation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"There's one thing I want you to help with. "I just got the news, too...... Do you know an island called Irim? ā
"Do you think I know?"
āā¦ā¦ Forget it, I'll go over and talk about it. Bert was silent for a few seconds, then said helplessly.
Du Hang greeted Roger and the others and stopped the boat.
After a while, Bert's boat came over, he really didn't say anything before, there were really two big holes in the ship that were damaged by the rocks blown up on the island, one place was on the side of the bow, and a large hole was punched out of the side of the ship, and the other place was in the middle of the hull, which was relatively low, and could enter the water at any time, and was mended by Bert with wooden planks, but it seemed that it would not be repaired much.
Bert jumped off the side of the ship and landed lightly on the deck of the boat.
Du Hang sat on the side of the boat with Erlang's legs crossed and smoked, and Roger stood at the bow of the boat with his arms crossed, looking at him together.
Bert first glanced at Du Hang expressionlessly, and then said to Roger: "First meeting, the captain of the Roger Pirates, I am Bert, the captain of the Night Shadow Pirates." ā
"Oh! I know you!" Du Hang told me!" Roger grinned widely, without any nervousness, if he usually met this kind of person, Bert would definitely feel strange, but when he thought that he was Du Hang's captain, it was not strange.
When Bert arrived on the Roger Pirates ship, the first person to speak must be Roger, this is also the rule, after greeting Roger, he went directly to Du Hang and said straight to the point: "I just received an employment application, the content is to intervene in the national war, if you don't mind, I want to ask you to go with me, and then the remuneration can be divided into three or seven accounts." ā
"Employment application?" Du Hang didn't reply to him, but he became interested in a word in his words, "Aren't you one of the 'six sides' of pirates, how can anyone still hire you?"
"It's not a contradiction, pirates also have to eat, especially pirates with a large crew. Bert said lightly, "The other 'Six-Sided' are indeed like you said, they don't like to accept commissions, they only live by looting, but pirates like me who are not good at frontal combat, it is normal for them to choose to accept some high-priced commissions, and in the black market, you can see many pirates like me." ā
"Oh......" Du Hang nodded thoughtfully, when he used to watch pirates, he had indeed heard of the term black market, for example, in the introduction of Baoshu Adam, there was the phrase "you can sell at a high price in the black market", but it was the first time he really came into contact with this word.
Under Bert's gaze, Du Hang exhaled a cigarette and showed a subtle expression: "I feel that you are really pulling down the overall force of the 'six sides', sometimes I really don't know how you get mixed with the ...... of the 'six sides' position."
"If you kid have enough to live, you can ask me for help. Bert said coldly.
"Just kidding, kidding, don't care. Du Hang waved his hand and said, "Do you have any specific information, I don't want to be confused, and the fart will pass." ā
"Of course, there is intelligence, and the information commissioned by the black market is generally very complete. Although Bert was unhappy with Du Hang's transfer of the topic, he also explained it well.
"Irim, the country that is at war this time...... It is a very strange island, which, although it is within the Great Shipping Route, has formed a small 'windless belt' of its own. ā
"Form a windless belt by yourself?" Du Hang repeated this sentence.
One of the most important reasons why the Great Passage is magical is that it is in two "Windless Zones", which are just attached to both sides of the Great Route, like two spines next to the spine...... In the windless zone, there is not a trace of wind, the atmosphere seems to be stationary, so the sailing ship can be said to be difficult to move an inch, and the most terrible thing is that most of the most terrible sea beasts on the great voyage inhabit the windless zone.
I didn't expect that the scenery inside the Great Voyage would occasionally appear, and it was truly the most magical place on the planet.
"Well, that island is indeed magical, with that island as the center, a radius of more than ten nautical miles, there has never been a wind, so the traffic is very inconvenient, and after a long time, the trading ships going to that island have become fewer and fewer, and the island's economy has become depressed. ā
Because of this, a sect slowly formed on the island, called the Storm God Cult, they believed that there was a storm god on the sea, and believed that the storm god liked to see killing and blood, so they kept killing, hoping to get the attention of the storm god and make the wind blow on the sea again, and these fanatical believers grew rapidly in a short period of time. ā
Hearing this, Du Hang sighed, "Yes, these people have big brains, but if according to what you said, the country is already depressed, how can there be a war? ā
"Here's the problem, if it's really a depression, who cares if it's not there? The key is that half a year ago, the island accidentally discovered a vein, with the temptation of ore, the population of the island grew explosively, with the increase in population, the contradiction between the Storm God Cult and outsiders finally reached the point of irreconcilability, and then there was a later war, at the beginning the battle was only maintained within the scope of ordinary people, and then as the war gradually intensified, finally began to appear physical experts and fruit ability, and then there was a black market bounty notice. ā
"I see...... Minerals, then it is understandable, if nothing else, the reward issued by the black market this time has something to do with the world government, as long as the situation on the island is stable, it is time for them to intervene strongly. Du Hang took down the cigarette stick and said.
"I'm afraid so. Bert agreed, "What do you mean?"
Reilly happened to come over, and after hearing Bert's words, he looked at Du Hang: "There's no need to go, we are not short of money now, and it always feels strange for pirates to intervene in wars between countries." ā
Du Hang touched his chin, and after pondering for a while, he showed a meaningful smile: "Cheng, I'll go with you, but the reward will be fifty-fifty." ā
"Seventy-three is already the limit, the black market only gives so much money in total, and I might as well not go to you. ā
"Then ****, let's take a step back. Du Hang said with a smile.
Bert looked at Du Hang with a subtle expression, and after a while, he nodded: "Yes, that's it." ā
After negotiating the price, Du Hang looked at Roger and Reilly: "I'm going to go over, what about you, if you're interested, you can go and see it together, if you're not interested, I can come back to you after I'm done." ā
"Of course I'm fine!!," Roger laughed.
"Then I'll go too, I always feel that it's dangerous to let you two go alone, and it will make a big mess. Reilly said helplessly.
Du Hang snorted at Reilly's slander and did not comment, he walked over to Mi Luoli and squatted down.
"Little Miss, do you want to go with you? It is estimated that there will be some dangers when you go out this time, if you are not at ease, I can find you a small island here in the East China Sea to settle down, and then come back to pick you up after the fight." ā
Mi Luoli smiled slightly, revealing a reassuring and quiet expression, "I want to follow Lord Du Hang." ā
"Well, since you say so, then I will definitely protect you. Du Hang smiled and touched the little Lori's head and made his own promise.
"If we all agree, let's go now?" asked Bert.
"There's no hurry. Du Hang shook his head, "I haven't pulled my new crew on board yet." ā
