Viscount Ben Henry John Temple Palmerston, the great Prime Minister of the British Empire in Kyushu, once said, "There are no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info, so it's understandable what is happening in the city-state of Blackwater Fjord for the sake of the glittering gold coins.

Viscount Samuel's hunting party rowed the boat, carefully navigating on the black water swamp, the specially made big boat shone with the brilliance of magic, these black iron alligators are extremely fierce, and now it is the breeding season of these beasts, so whether it is aggressive or destructive, it is close to some intermediate magical beasts.

"Hey, what the hell, the Viscount actually wants to hunt and kill the black iron alligator this season, although this thing is valuable, there is no need to be in such a hurry, right?" Sailor John stood at the bow of the ship, watching the situation on the water, and complained to the soldier Rand beside him, "I actually sent out all of you guards, doesn't the castle need guards?"

Being able to be a sailor on a hunting ship of this level, John is also an eighth-level warrior, regardless of strength or income, in the poor countryside of the Blackwater Fjord city-state, it is not a bottom, so the thirteenth-level warrior Rand is also willing to chat with him: "Don't you know, the northern Carlyle Kingdom has caused a lot of trouble, and actually dares to send someone to assassinate the political system of the St. Rhine League, and now the entire southern part of the kingdom is under great pressure, it is said that the St. Rhine League Master Kosh personally led the troops." ”

Smacking his lips, Rand sighed: "Although I don't know if the north can fight, it is reasonable for the Violet family to maintain combat readiness and increase military orders, and it is said that they have offered our Viscount three times the market price." ”

"This is not a good thing, it proves that war is imminent. John gritted his teeth and said, "Once the north really fights, we are afraid that our life will be even more difficult, after all, Lord Viscount and Duke Lockland of the Kingdom of Carlisle have a certain blood relationship, if the Holy Rhine Alliance declares war on the Kingdom, or even sanctions, the Grand Duke will not necessarily have the experience to take care of Lord Viscount again......

Rand was also stunned when he heard this, Viscount Samuel and the Duke of Lockland in the north do have a certain blood relationship, and even among the heirs to the title, they can rank in the top twenty, which is also the biggest reason why the Viscount can sit on the throne of the second largest nobleman in Blackwater Fjord.

It's no secret in the whole Blackwater Fjord, because the viscount himself is constantly showing off this, just like the old farmer in the village shows off that he has a rich relative in the city, but whether it is the viscount himself or the Duke of Lockland, the level is much higher, so when people say this, most of them have a tone of envy.

So he muttered to himself: "It's also ......"

However, these things were not destined to be discussed by a boatman and a guard, and the two of them chatted for a long time, and had no other thoughts than sighing and begging not to fight.

Just as the two of them were muttering, Zack, the deputy captain of the guard in charge of the hunt, walked up to the bow of the boat with a fierce face: "Don't observe if there are crocodiles, what nonsense are you talking about here? If you don't work, I will clean you up fiercely!"

Rand didn't dare to refute, after all, this was his superior, but John didn't care about this, he was a veteran boatman and fisherman, and it could be said that most of his current actions depended on him: "We're not lazy, Mr. Zach, I've been observing the movement in the water, you have to believe in the experience of an old fisherman." ”

"Okay, be serious, don't miss a single alligator, if we can catch more than fifty black iron alligators this time, I'll give you fifty silver coins for each one!" Zach was obviously not willing to fight a fisherman, so he threw out the big killing weapon.

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and John, who saw the real profit, shouted: "Then Lord Zack will prepare the silver coin!" and his eyes widened to observe the movement of the water, as for what will happen to Viscount Samuel once the Carlisle Kingdom is in chaos......

What the hell is going on?

It must be said that the old captain who got serious was still very powerful, at least under the stimulation of silver coins, he quickly found a group of black iron alligators, and during the breeding season, this group of fierce creatures often traveled in groups, each group of at least forty or fifty, and they were often the nightmare of the fishermen in this season.

Contrary to the caution of ordinary fishermen, Viscount Samuel's guards showed overwhelming combat effectiveness in the face of these beasts, and the lightning mages first paralyzed these beasts, and then crushed their hearts with the melee class.

"Forty-seven, not bad, come on, the silver is coming from you, John. Zach was very satisfied with his prey, these black iron alligators had hard skin that was not commensurate with their rank, and each complete crocodile skin could be sold for hundreds to three thousand gold coins, and as the person in charge of this operation, he could get a share of the benefits from this by no means comparable to John, a fisherman.

John nodded excitedly and guided the ship further south, which is the closest place to the original plane of the black iron alligator, and it is also the place where the black iron alligator is most concentrated this season, if it is usual, he dares to go, but now there are so many masters on the ship, he is afraid of a fart?

"Five gold coins, ten gold coins, fifteen gold coins......"

Watching Viscount Samuel's guards deal with the black iron alligator, John's eyes stared unblinkingly, and he was afraid that these people would underreport one and reduce his income by fifty silver coins.

However, just as he was counting to the one hundred and twentieth number, an accident happened, and a group of clippers under the banner of Count Famas approached quickly, and a stern voice came from afar through amplification magic: "Those despicable poachers on the opposite ship, your despicable deeds have harmed the interests of Lord Count Famas, stop your criminal acts, stop the ship and be inspected, otherwise we have the right to take coercive measures." ”

"Damn, it's the people of the Famas family, retreat quickly, you can't let them catch up. Zach said a little anxiously, he knew that these few people on his ship were not qualified to entangle with Count Famas's pickets, not that the quality was insufficient, but that the other party had an overwhelming numerical advantage.

However, their ship was loaded with too many black iron alligator skins, and even a lot of crocodile meat that had not had time to be thrown into the swamp, and the other party's clippers were empty, so they were soon surrounded by a whole fleet of Count Famas's boats.

"Hand over the illegal gains, and we can let you go!" said from the largest ship, dozens of glowing crossbows and three scrolls surging with magic fluctuations locked the ship at the same time.
