Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Having been serving as quartermaster in the privateer fleet, the aged Haile Pope is undoubtedly an old and honest uncle-type figure, and it is precisely because this quartermaster is strong enough that those pirates who have always been willing to speculate with the greatest malice about how despicable and filthy others are, will vigorously elect Uncle Haile to be in charge of the important position of quartermaster, which is most prone to economic problems.

At this moment, the quartermaster, with a gray beard and a bronzed face, raised his eyes to look at the three magical wonders, and he got up and said:

"Zora, will it be difficult to realize these treasures, right?"

Hearing this, the boatswain touched his freshly shaved chin and said thoughtfully:

"Well, it's not too difficult, but you do need to meet a suitable buyer to get a good price."

Haile Pop laughed, he turned his head to look at Luo Zhengdao, and said:

"Your Excellency, please make a bid! We will calculate the valuation according to the reserve price of 5,000 gold coins, and then remove the 30% fixed share and your share of dividends, and then take out 3,500 gold coins. ”

Hearing the quartermaster's statement, Luo Zhengdao did not shirk it in a smug manner, he could also use these magical wonders, and he was not short of small money in his own hand, so he simply nodded and agreed, and said:

"Okay, then I'll buy it!"

As he spoke, Luo Zhengdao stuffed the other two strange objects into the space bag, and hung the space bag that could not be overlapped with other space equipment on the other side of his waist. Subsequently, Luo Zhengdao beckoned the high-ranking people of the fleet to come to the deck of the Yangwei, rang the bell to gather the sailors, and announced the latest spoils distribution plan in public. Hearing the long-lost good news, the original treasure hunt in the underground cave suffered heavy casualties, and the gloomy pirate ship burst into a tsunami-like cheer, and the pirates present were all smiling, and in private they each pinched their fingers and calculated how many gold coins they could get.

Zola Hegel also grinned and showed a mouth full of white teeth, and shouted loudly:

"Everyone line up, go to Uncle Haier's to receive the money, come in the order of calling, don't crowd around, you kid beware of eating whips."

Trivial tasks such as dividing money are not labor, Luo Zhengdao himself went out to hand over the gold coins to the quartermaster to divide them according to the rules, and he took time to visit Vena Dubov in the ward to recuperate in bed.

Luo Zhengdao always felt guilty about the fact that the half-elf beauty took a shot for himself, and this kindness to block the gun for others was too heavy, so that he didn't know what to do to repay the other party's heart. In order to maximize his sincerity, Luo Zhengdao instructed that Vena be placed in this spacious ward next to the captain's quarters, which had excellent air circulation, and that it was not at all felt that she was in a stuffy cabin, and the slightly salty Mana wind blew through the portholes to lift people's spirits.

"Vina, are you feeling better today?"

Leaning on the stacked feather pillows, Vina Dubov's lips were still a little pale, this is the sequelae of excessive blood loss a few days ago, but fortunately, her mental condition is still good, and she said with a smile:

"Thanks, it's much better, it's just that the wound is itchy."

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao smiled slightly and quipped:

"Hehehehehe, that proves that the recovery is good, and the injury is about to heal!"

Just as one cannot imagine how an ordinary human can be stronger than a dragon, the half-elves of a half-breed have the physiological characteristics of both rapid human growth and slow aging of elves. Regardless of their gender, the appearance of the half-elves is that of a very slender and elegant type, which does not affect their excellent physique. Humans are far less resilient to injuries than elves, and the two sides have different starting points in terms of basic talents, and half-elves are closer to elves in terms of injury recovery ability.

Similar to the dragon, the natural lifespan can be extended almost indefinitely as long as it does not die from accidents. The ancient dragon is also one of the largest creatures known, and it is said that as long as these old and immortal creatures are alive in the world, they will continue to grow in size every day, and God knows how big these creatures will grow to reach their physiological limit.

After a few words of greeting, Vina Dubov glanced outside the door and said in a low voice:

"By the way, Will, what's going on with that Yasha?"

As soon as he mentioned this, Luo Zhengdao's smile became very strange and said:

"Oh, she was fished out of the sea a few days ago, and it's inconvenient to carry a woman on board, so we can't throw her back into the sea!"

Regarding Luo Zhengdao's statement, the half-elf beauty did not express doubts, she just felt that the identity of this unknown origin Yasha was suspicious, to say that it was better to strike first just in case or something, not to mention that Vina Dubov is not the kind of heroic character who kills decisively, even the much cold-hearted Will Needham, and Luo Zhengdao, who is now replaced by him, they can't do it. In other words, no normal person can do this kind of thing, and the general logic they follow is that as long as you don't hurt me, I won't take the initiative to hurt you. Being able to hurt others without shame and not feel the slightest guilt afterwards is a trait that only successful people have.

After pondering for a while, Vina Dubov rubbed a petal with her fingertips and said:

"I've seen Yasha, well, it's a weird feeling."

Luo Zhengdao, except for the day of the salvage, he did not have much contact with this woman of unknown origin, what intersection can a captain and a laundry lady have in life? Even when it was time to wash clothes, it was the orderly who took the whole basket of dirty clothes to the laundry room, did he still use Luo Zhengdao to handle this kind of trivial matters in life?

Recalling the face of a woman who could hardly find any characteristics, Luo Zhengdao said slowly:

"Oh, you say strange, what is strange?"

Vena, the half-elf, has always had a keen intuition, which is the survival instinct honed by her countless brushes with death when participating in adventures, Vena suddenly raised her head and looked at Luo Zhengdao and said:

“…… It's a weird feeling like there's a bug crawling on the back of my hand, so I'm very strange, and it's rare for anyone to make such a bad impression on me. ”

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao was already convinced that the half-elf beauty was not a blind guess, but there was no real evidence, and he was reluctant to end a person's life. Thinking of this, Luo Zhengdao smiled bitterly, spread his hands and said:

"Well, don't worry, I'll take care of that. Probably because you have been lying on the ship for too long, waiting for us to call for a port to carry you down for a spin, so that you don't always stay in your room and get bored. ”

Character determines fate, and background determines vision. Luo Zhengdao is like a fish in water in the new world, thanks in large part to the old world education he received back then, which is also a precious gift left to him in his past life.

When Luo Zhengdao was admitted to university, he originally applied for the popular international trade major, but unfortunately that year coincided with the explosion of the subprime mortgage crisis, and foreign trade began to slide. Seeing the economic crisis known as the "Great Recession" hit and the employment prospects of international trade majors were bleak, Luo Zhengdao reluctantly submitted an application to the university to change departments in his sophomore year, and changed to the unpopular major of classical Western politics. His father is not surnamed Li, nor is he a major general, so there is really no way to send Luo Zhengdao to the road of politics. After graduating from university, Luo Zhengdao did not have the opportunity to enter a research institute and make a living by writing articles, which does not mean that those four years of college were in vain, and this knowledge is one of the important assets for him to survive in the new world full of dangers and thorns.

Thinking all the way back to the captain's room, Luo Zhengdao sat at the desk as usual and pretended to be deep, in all fairness, he was not the kind of talented genius, and he could only think more than others to avoid making fatal mistakes.

So far, the environment in which the privateer fleet is located is not bad, and he doesn't need to worry too much about fundraising, and the volunteers recruited by Qiongzhou can also make up for the shortcomings of the pirate gang, and how to start reforming depends on Luo Zhengdao's ability to balance the interests of all parties.

After thinking about it for a long time, Luo Zhengdao decided to do something, sit at his desk and write a book, imitate the protagonist in Robinson Crusoe, and list the strategic goals of himself and the goblin as borrowers and borrowers, so as to judge where the focus of the contradiction between the two sides is, and distinguish the main contradiction and the secondary contradiction, which is quite useful for judging the current situation.

It's not easy to figure out who our enemies are and who our friends are.

Undoubtedly, the main pursuits of the Second Goblin Empire were: to seize territory; control zhì strategic points; Create empires and maintain regional hegemony. With them occupying the main 6, the aggressiveness of the goblins is gradually weakening, and to put it bluntly, the second goblin empire has been exhausted, and the beast's pursuit of further land occupation can only be put on hold until it has digested the food in its stomach. That being said, the goblin's intent to strengthen the ruling machine has also been revealed, especially against the human exiled nobles who are potential threats, and there has never been a moment to weaken the pursuit and killing.

At present, the Second Goblin Empire not only has to ensure the control of the entire main 6 and suppress all kinds of opposition forces, but also has to compete with the external Elven Federation and the Yaling Empire for the control of trade routes and shipping routes in the Star Sea, trying to form a relatively stable regional hegemony.

Luo Zhengdao's main strategic goals at present are: national liberation and unification, the protection of people of the same race, the formation of a government and the claim of succession to the throne, and the maintenance of the existence of the future nascent state.

The history of the old world sums up the proverb that interests determine a qiē, that is, "there are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends in the world, there are only eternal interests." Although this motto of the political family sounds disgusting, however, it truly describes the laws of the operation of the objective world, which is the powerful power that points directly to the heart! The real world will not change due to the subjective wishes of individuals and organizations, not to mention whether Luo Zhengdao has the ambition to be the king and hegemon, or the kind of middle-two disease thinking of the Chosen People, he has not committed much since graduating from middle school, and his current form is indeed stronger than people.
