In front of the tall Pallas City Gate, three figures slowly walked from a distance, these three people were the three of Luiga, and they were calm along the way, and they didn't encounter any more trouble, but the three of them didn't talk a lot along the way, after all, Xia Zuo and Mu Lin had just experienced family changes, and Luiza was not a comforting person, but fortunately, their previous location was not far from Pallas City, and this silent atmosphere did not last long.

Looking at the tall walls of Pallas, Luica knew that this city was not simple, the walls were cast a few points higher than the walls of Presidian, and there were some guards patrolling on it, seeing this, Luiga was a little strange, looking at Xia Zuo and asking suspiciously: "I seem to have heard that the Ionian Alliance has not set up an administrative body in Pallas, who are these guards, they don't seem to be dressed as ordinary people, some like army people." ”

"These people are from the army, they are all members of the Pallas Chamber of Commerce Alliance, there are three major chambers of commerce in Pallas, namely the Iel Chamber of Commerce, the Piano Chamber of Commerce, and the Celil Chamber of Commerce, the strength of these three chambers of commerce is very strong, in order to maintain their position in Pallas, these three chambers of commerce have united together to form the Pallas Chamber of Commerce Alliance. These people are called to maintain the stability of Pallas, but in fact they are some villains, they often raise prices, monopolize the market, and I heard that they still collude with those bandits, and there were several chambers of commerce that competed with them before, but in the end they were all robbed by the bandits, and in the end they didn't even save their lives, it is said that these things were done by the people of the Pallas Chamber of Commerce Alliance in order to eliminate dissidents and collusion bandits. Xia Zuo said through some gritted teeth.

"Iel Chamber of Commerce?" Luica muttered, he had already thought of Blanche and the others who were killed by himself in the Sutennos Mountains at this time, she was a member of the Iel Chamber of Commerce, and she was also the eldest lady of the Iel Chamber of Commerce, it seemed that the festival between himself and this Iel Chamber of Commerce was not so good.

didn't think too much about it, Luica doesn't have the idea of going head-to-head with the Iair Chamber of Commerce now, his current strength is still far behind, there must be a rune master who has at least completed the first small cycle in the Iair Chamber of Commerce, the level 6 rune master is a watershed, no matter how powerful the fifth-level rune master is, it is estimated that he can't beat a sixth-level rune master, which is self-aware Luiga still has it, but he is not in a hurry, as long as he is given enough resources, he is sure that he will break through to the sixth-level rune master in a short time, and when the time comes, he will fight and clean Pallas, if everything goes well, then he will not have to worry about resources for a long time。

The three of them entered the city of Pallas, the city of Pallas is very prosperous, there are many people on the street, many of these people are fierce people, seven or eight out of ten have scars on their faces, they know at a glance that they are not good people, Luiga did not feel the slightest strange when he saw this, this place is full of bandits, if you don't kill everyone, you will kill you, and the fight is probably like a common thing for people here.

At this time, Xia Zuo on the side reminded softly: " Master Luffy, this Pallas is different from other places, there are no good people in the real sense of the word in this place, there is no bottom line in morality here, these people on the street now seem to have nothing special, but I can tell you for sure, at least half of these people are bandits, even if you don't want to be a bandit in Pallas, you will be forced to do it, because following the crowd is the only way to survive, my father just didn't want to go along with these people and was finally killed by those dogs of the Eugene bandits!"

Luiga just smiled faintly after hearing this, and then said: "Xia Zuo, your worries are superfluous, I am not a bad person, nor am I a scholar who talks about benevolence and morality all day long, the savior will do this kind of hard work whoever likes to do it, I came here just for pure robbery, although my target is those bandits, that is also because they are the richest in Pallas, as for the of eliminating violence and peace, you can just listen to it, don't take it seriously!"

Hearing Luica's words, Xia Zuo was relieved, he was worried that Luiga, a stunned young man, came to Pallas just to fight unevenly, this kind of self-righteous brother Xia Zuo who thought he was from other places had seen a lot, and in the end none of them had a good end, this time the gang was destroyed, his father was killed, Xia Zuo understood that to stand in Pallas, only ruthless, and more ruthless than those bandits. A future Pallas killing god took his first step in this way, no one thought that this young man who was almost killed by the Eugene bandit group before would actually grow to that point, I'm afraid even the current General Eugene is unbelievable, of course, these are all later words, not to mention for the time being.

"Now in Pallas, all the territory has almost been divided up by the major forces, these forces are chambers of commerce, gangs, big families, and bandit groups, although they are still fighting each other for territory, but in a short period of time, the territory controlled by these forces should not change very much, our straw hat thieves group is still relatively weak, I suggest that we choose the station in the plague area, living in the plague area are some poor people, there is no value, so so far there are no forces in this area have any ideas, this just gives us a loophole, and there are many orphans who have been robbed and exterminated in the plague areaThe hatred between these people and the bandits is inextricable, and if we are to attack the bandits in the future, these people will be the most loyal fighters!" Xia Zuo explained to Luica.

Hearing Xia Zuo's analysis, Luica was a little surprised, he didn't expect that a person he saved casually had such a strategic vision, and suddenly felt satisfied, although he wanted to form a force of his own, but he was lazy by nature, and he didn't want to care about these miscellaneous things, and Xia Zuo's analysis just now was enough to prove that he might become a talent in this area, how could Luica not like it, as an advanced young pioneer in the 21st century, he naturally knew the importance of talent.

"Xia Zuo, I didn't see it, you still have such a strategic vision, what you said is very good, the Plague Stone District is indeed our best choice at the moment, then let's go to the Plague Stone District, buy a piece of land first, and then slowly figure out the rest. Luica didn't hesitate to praise Xia Zuo.

After speaking, the three of them walked towards the plague area, the place where the plague stone area is located is relatively remote, the three of them walked for nearly three hours before they reached the plague area, Luiga looked at it, only to find that what Xia Zuo said was not false at all, along the way Luiga also appreciated some of the prosperity of Pallas, but looking at the plague area in front of him, a comparison, it seemed a little too broken.

Xia Zuo led the way in front, Luica and Mullin followed him, looking at Xia Zuo like this, he was obviously familiar with the plague area, he did not pause at every fork in the road, it was obvious that he was very familiar with the road here.

"Xia Zuo, you are quite familiar with this place, how can the young master of your gang be so familiar with this place, you have been here a lot before?" Luiga asked suspiciously.

Xia Zuo nodded and explained: "Mu Lin used to come here often to treat the poor, and the security here is not good, every time I will accompany her to come, the more I come, the more familiar I am here!"

Hearing this, Luica nodded, looked at Mullin on the side, and said with a smile: "Mullin, you are really a kind girl. "It's true that Mullin is wearing a white dress, and his appearance is very feminine, so he looks like an angel in white.

Mu Lin lowered his head shyly and said softly: "Young Master Luffy, don't make fun of me, although I have saved some people in the Plague District, but it is only a small part, there are too many poor people here, there are too few things I can do!"

Seeing that this kind girl was still blaming herself for saving too few people, Luica felt that his heart was touched, he could hardly imagine that such a kind girl would appear in a place like Pallas, and he also had some pride in his heart, patted his chest and said: "It's okay, work together in the future, I believe that it won't be long before the Plaguestone District will change because of our Straw Hat Thieves, and I will become the real king of thieves!"

Mu Lin listened to Luica's heroic words, her eyes were full of admiration, she felt that this young man of about the same age as herself had an indescribable smell on his body, his confidence had infected her, and she was extremely looking forward to the rise of this "king of thieves".

After a while, Xia Zuo led Luica to a courtyard, which seemed to be very large, and was surrounded by a high wall, and at the gate of the courtyard stood a pair of stone lions, but one of the lions had fallen, perhaps because it was too heavy, and the owner of the place did not lift it up.

Xia Zuo stepped forward and knocked on the door, he knocked on the door three times before slowly opening it, and it was an old man who helped them open the door, looking at the age is estimated to be over eighty years old, his hair is all white, his body is rickety, and he is holding a cane, when he opened the door and saw that it was Xia Zuo, a trace of surprise flashed in his dim eyes.

"Young Master Xia Zuo, it's you who are here!" After speaking, he swept around again, and saw Mu Lin standing behind, the old man's face instantly smiled, although his face was already full of wrinkles, but it was full of kindness, he walked towards Mu Lin with a cane, because his legs and feet were not very convenient, he walked with a limp.

"Miss Mu Lin, you are here, I am so glad to see you, you haven't been to the Plague Stone District for more than a month, and the big guys miss you very much!" the old man stood in front of Mu Lin and said with a smile.

Mu Lin hurriedly went up to help the old man, and said softly: "Uncle Mi Weijia, I miss you too, we have something very important to discuss with you this time, is it convenient for you?"

"Of course it's convenient, since you have something to say, then come in quickly!" Mi Vega said and took Mu Lin in, Luiga followed behind, after entering the courtyard, Luiga looked around, from the layout of this yard, it can be seen that in order to build this yard at that time, the owner also spent a lot of thought, but now it looks a little old, and many places are damaged but have not been repaired.

Mi Vega led everyone to a table in the courtyard and sat down, and after everyone sat down, Xia Zuo spoke, he pointed to Luica and said to Brian: "Uncle Mi Vega, let me introduce you, this is Young Master Luffy!"

Mi Vega nodded and said to Luiga with a smile, "Young Master Luffy, hello!"

Luica hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Old man, don't dare to be it, you can call me Luffy, I'm not a young master, don't listen to Xia Zuo's nonsense!"

The old man smiled and didn't say anything, at this time Xia Zuo spoke again, he said to Mi Vega: "Uncle Mi Vega, we have an important matter to do when we come to the Plague Stone this time, Young Master Luiga is going to create his own force in Pallas, and the station is going to be selected in the Plague Stone District, the best place in the Plague Stone District is your courtyard, I want to buy this courtyard as a station on behalf of Young Master Luffy, as for the price, you can rest assured, it will definitely not be less than you!"

Hearing Xia Zuo's words, Mi Weijia frowned, he looked at Luica, and then said to Xia Zuo: "Young Master Xia Zuo, isn't it nonsense that Young Master Luffy created a force in Pallas at such a young age, he doesn't understand you and doesn't understand? What kind of place is Pallas, those forces are all eating people and not spitting out bones, it would be better for you to introduce Young Master Luffy to work in your father's gang, young man, you should be down-to-earth!"

After speaking, Mi Vega looked at Luica again, and explained with a smile: "Master Luffy, the reason why I said this is not to hit you intentionally, I just remind you that Pallas is really not a good place, I have lived for so long, I have seen too many people die because of land grabbing, you are a very good young man, you need time to grow!"

Luiga smiled after hearing this, and saluted Mi Vega: "I know the kindness of the old man, the boy is not a person who knows what to do!"

Xia Zuo's eyes on the side were a little gloomy, and he said to Mi Wei Jia a little sadly: "Uncle Mi Wei Jia, my father is dead, and the gang is gone, it wasn't Young Master Luffy who saved me and Mu Lin today, I'm afraid we are all dead, don't look at Young Master Luffy's age, he killed more than a dozen bandits with a sword today, and one of them is a fourth-level rune master!"

Hearing Xia Zuo's words, Mi Vega was shocked and hurriedly asked, "How can this be, who killed your father?"

"It's those bastards of the Eugene bandits, who not only killed my father, but almost everyone else in the gang died at their hands!" said Xia Zuo through gritted teeth.

"It's actually the Eugene bandits, alas......" After speaking, Mi Weijia shook his head, perhaps in his opinion, the Eugene bandit group was too powerful, and at this time, he couldn't afford to have any other thoughts except helplessness.

After being silent for a while, Mi Vega spoke, "Since Young Master Luffy has such strength, then I won't stop you, I can make the yard a station for you, as for the money, then forget it, Young Master Luffy saved Mu Lin and Xia Zuo, I can't collect this money no matter what, you wait for me, I'll pack up my things and move away to make room for you." With that, the old man stood up and prepared to pack his things.

Luica hurriedly grabbed him, "Uncle Mi Weiga, don't be busy packing up your things, there are only three of us now, we can't live in such a big yard, you can live here with peace of mind, as for the money, it will definitely be given, as for how much you say!"

At this time, Mu Lin on the side also hurriedly came up to support the old man and said, "Uncle Mi Weijia, you just listen to Young Master Luffy, I will always stay here in the future, and I can accompany you every day if you live here!"

Hearing Mu Lin's words, Mi Vega dispelled the idea of moving away, but this old man was very stubborn and didn't accept Luiga's money, and in the end, Luiga could only give up and compensate the old man in the future.

After the matter was settled, Mullin made a large table of dishes, and after eating, Mi Vega cleaned up the room for the three of them, and then Mi Vega went to sleep, at which point Luiga called Xia Zuo and Mu Lin, and the three of them sat down at the table in the courtyard.

Luiga cleared his throat and said to the two: "Now that the station is there, our Straw Hat Thieves Group can be regarded as completely established, let me arrange the task, at the beginning of the establishment of the team, there may be a little more chores, but you must find a way to overcome it, and when our team slowly grows, then we don't have to do many things in person!" Luica's words, the leader's limelight is all over again, although there are only two subordinates at present, but Luiga has found some feelings of being a leader, I have to say, this feeling is very good.

"Young Master Luffy, you can do whatever you want, I'm not afraid of being tired, as long as I can make the Straw Hat Thieves strong, I'm willing to do anything!" Xia Zuo looked at Luica and said seriously, and Mu Lin on the side also nodded, indicating that he was fine.

Seeing the performance of the two, Luica was very satisfied, when he met such a self-motivated subordinate, he could even be exempted from some words of encouragement, Luica went directly to the topic, he took out a prescription, handed it to Xia Zuo, and said to him: "Xia Zuo, you are responsible for purchasing these medicinal materials, except for the blood Lingzhi, you can buy ten copies of the other medicinal materials, I don't know how much the price of Pallas blood Lingzhi is, is 50 rune stones enough?"

"It's enough, the blood reishi on the market in Pallas only needs 3 rune stones, and the blood reishi is not a precious medicinal material, and the pharmacies in the city basically sell it. Mu Lin on the side answered.

Hearing Mu Lin's words, Luica nodded, looked at Xia Zuo and said, "In that case, then you can directly purchase 200 medicinal materials and come back, as for the blood lingzhi, you can buy 20, and I will give you 60 rune stones later, and I will see these medicinal materials tomorrow, no problem!"

"No problem, I will definitely bring all the medicinal materials back tomorrow, don't worry!" Xia Zuo put away the prescription after speaking.

Luica then looked at Mullin and said: "Mullin, tomorrow you are responsible for releasing the news that we are going to recruit people, those orphans who have been robbed and wiped out are preferred, there are no requirements for other qualifications except for strong willpower, and those who join our Straw Hat Thieves will issue a gold coin every month, of course, this is only temporary, if we develop and grow in the future, the rewards will be more and more, for the time being, we will recruit 50 people first, is there a problem?"

"It's very easy to recruit 50 people here if you send out one gold coin a month, but how do you measure the strength of willpower?" asked Mullin, a little embarrassed.

Luiga smiled and said, "This is easy to do, you let those people hold their breath in the water together, and choose the 50 people who hold their breath the longest!"

After Luiga finished speaking, Mullin nodded and said that it was no problem, and then Luiga asked the two to go back to rest, and he himself would go to the room to rest, and the first Straw Hat Thieves meeting ended hastily!
