Chapter 94, Rock Island

The long wind and waves go south.

Langton and the others returned to Port Stuart, handed over the women captured in Trembling Bay to Tywin and Chris, and returned to Craig.

The work of the Chamber of Commerce was checked to make sure that there were no problems or omissions in the matter.

He left the ships that could not be used for the time being and continued to go to sea.

"Gabry, we're not going. ”

With Queen Anne's Revenge and Blackbeard, a legendary pirate, Lanton's power at sea is no less than weak.

Plus Sauron, Darth Vader, Maleficent, Carrie, T-X and they went along.

Tituba felt that it was useless to remain on the ship.

And she didn't want to go to sea again to find guilt.

Anne was the same, but it was not because she didn't want to follow Lanton to expand her territory, but because Ares decided to go south.

As a priestess, it was only natural for her to follow the actions of the gods.

Ares takes Anne away, as Ranton expected.

After all, he has already revealed his intentions.

Feeling threatened, but unable to help Lanton, Ares, as a high-ranking god of war, could not allow himself to be enslaved and controlled by mortals to happen.

Therefore, he has to go south in advance to become stronger.

Then get rid of the Life Connection!

In fact, Sauron, Immorton and others also have this intention, but now they have no clue, and they must protect Langton, who has gone to sea to adventure, and now there is really no way to leave.

After all, Langton can't have an accident if he dies.

All of them are going to be buried together!

"So... Tithuba, if you have time, help me take a look at the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Ares, Anne, I wish you all the best of luck. ”

Seeing off the god of war and his apprentice priestess, and arranging for the fleet to continue south, Landon was a little depressed, depressed about the operation of the Chamber of Commerce.

Because most of the cargo ships were used to carry people, only this ship went south to sell merchant goods.

There is no profit on the return trip, and seventy percent of the income on the outbound trip is spent on the captives.

Now I can get the input, and it is a lot of commercial goods that have been piled up some time ago.

But sooner or later, those goods will be bought, and now, the poor-populated Northland will not be able to produce any more goods!

When the time comes, the Chamber of Commerce will not be able to earn income even if it has a ship, and it will also eat the old book!

Rock Island must be taken as soon as possible.

After all, it is necessary to prop up the funds needed for the plan.

It's best to use pirate money!

Queen Anne's Revenge led the way, followed by the Daystar, with pirates who surrendered in Trembling Bay to guide the way, and Langton and the others rushed to Rock Island with great momentum.

Under the control of the summoner.

Blackbeard is very unhappy, but life is connected to Lanton, freedom is held, and he has lost all opportunities to resist.

You can only be obedient!

The Queen Anne's Revenge rode the waves and arrived at Rock Island before the sun rose to its highest position.

When it comes to pirates, Rock Island is not exclusive, and even very welcome.

The port is also moored with more than a dozen pirate ships of different flags.

After all, Captain Proko, the current owner of Rock Island, is also a Northlander-born pirate, and although he chose to play for the Woodford family, it does not mean that he has returned to the right path.

The main business is looting and selling stolen goods.

However, for the ferocious and cunning pirates.

It is impossible to be defenseless on Rock Island, with six arrow towers on the pier, several defensive stone walls in the sandy beaches of the sea, and large catapults arranged on the island's hills, all of which will discourage people with bad intentions.

After inspecting the island through binoculars, Ranton, Maleficent, and Carrie flew back to the Daystar, handing Blackbeard the task of finding out the details of the enemy.

"I haven't seen your banners, where are the people?"

Stepping onto the docks of Rock Island, a thick-ledged middle-aged pirate with long hair tied into dreadlocks, a hip scimitar, and a book and quill pen asked.

Blackbeard, who got off the ship with the Vodoo zombies, looked at him coldly and asked, "Everyone who comes here has to explain their origins?"

Thick-lipped pirate: "Yes, that's the rule of Rock Island!"

"Anyone who doesn't follow the rules will pay the price!"

As he spoke, he reached out and pointed to the corpses hanging from the arrow tower behind him.

After sailing out of Craig's Town, Blackbeard became a voodoo zombie with a disobedient pirate and a troublesome captive who didn't work properly.

But the number of people still did not exceed fifty, and this trip was to inquire for information, and he would not be impulsive for the time being.

"I'm Blackbeard. ”

The thick-lipped pirate asked again: "Where do you come from, what forces do you belong to, and how many people are there?"

Blackbeard grinned and hooked the corners of his mouth: "From hell." ”

"I'm the only human being, and none of my subordinates are human. ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, the thick-lipped pirate looked at the pale, lifeless Voodoo zombie and immediately understood what was going on.

"You're an evil mage......"

Blackbeard: "Can I go in?"

"Uh... Of course... OK. Thick-lipped pirate: "But... We have rules here, you... Don't cause trouble. ”

"We, Captain Proko, are not ordinary people!"

The thick-lipped pirate's bluff didn't care in the slightest, and left the dock straight with the voodoo zombie.

Rock Island is very lively, but the buildings in the streets are similar to that of Trembling Bay, with taverns, women's branches, casinos, and then small castles piled high with all kinds of goods that serve as a chamber of commerce.

Black market merchants, pirates, and women are all over the streets.

Because it's daytime.

Most of the black marketeers, pirates, and women were snorting and sleeping.

Blackbeard found a tavern with not so many people to sit down, and woke up the bartender to inquire about it.

"When newcomers arrive, they are the first to inquire about the news?"

At the bar, a woman with a tricorne hat and a dagger peeling an apple suddenly opened her mouth to talk.

Blackbeard glanced at her indifferently, thinking that she was a businesswoman, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and continued to ask the tavern owner about Rock Island.

Intelligence about Proko is everywhere.

Even the defense of Rock Island can be revealed, because this was once the territory of pirates, and most pirates knew about the old defense arrangement.

Now with the support of the Woodford family, the island's defenses are stronger, and Proko has more covert hands, and he is not afraid of reconnaissance at all.

So too lazy to hide.

As the tavern keeper told Blackbeard what he could say, he closed his lips when he got the gold coins, and said, "For your sake, for your sake, I have to warn you. ”

"The woman next to you is a bounty hunter from the East. ”

"Beware of her beheading while you're asleep!"

"Oh. "Losing his freedom, Blackbeard has no interest in provoking women, and the only thing he wants is to become transcendent as soon as possible.

Intend to master the power, then break free of control and continue the pursuit of immortality!

"Hey, are you leaving so soon?"

"Don't sit down for a while?"

Seeing Blackbeard leave after asking for news, the female bounty hunter suddenly stopped him and said, "Please have a drink and let's talk together, I'm really curious about you." ”

"Because I haven't seen a wanted warrant for you, not in the Empire. ”

"If you are not vicious and kill everyone who meets you, leaving not a single person alive, you are from a foreign country. ”

"Or..."

"A rookie who just went to sea?"

This drew the attention of some of the awakened pirates in the tavern, who apparently thought that Blackbeard might be a fat fish to be slaughtered.

Blackbeard sneered, "You want to make trouble?"

"Don't dare. The huntress shook her head: "I want to go to the ring to find trouble for others on Rock Island, I am just a weak woman, how dare I provoke a character like you who masters black magic and refines his subordinates into zombies." ”

"This guy actually turned his subordinates into zombies!"

"I'm sure he's a necromancer, and he's not from the Empire!"

"Nonsense, if there were necromancers in the empire, those nobles would have jumped to their feet a long time ago, and maybe they would organize a fleet to go to sea to encircle and suppress him!"

"This guy is not easy to mess with, let's all stay away from him. ”

"That's right. ”

Blackbeard, who listened to the voices of the pirates in the tavern and understood that it would be taboo to desecrate corpses, did not panic, sat back on the high stool, and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

"In case you don't know, I don't like turning the dead into zombies. ”

"Rather, it is customary to refine it with a living person. ”

"Wow, you're really cruel to make zombies from living people, so you must be a necromancer?"

The huntress was surprised, then pushed Blackbeard over the wine the boss had served.

Blackbeard: "Don't do anything superfluous, just say what you called me for." ”

"Your Excellency, I won't beat around the bush. The Huntress said, "I want Your Excellency to join me in challenging Wolfpaw Eric." ”

"Wolfpaw Eric?"

After asking the tavernkeeper for information, Blackbeard already knew that Wolfpaw Eric was the mind of the second largest force on Rock Island, with Bronze Rank strength, which was said to be only below Proko's strength.

Possess three large armed warships!

More than 600 people!

"Why should I provoke him?"

The huntress smiled, "Because you are an outsider, the Northlands are very xenophobic, and the pirates here are also very xenophobic. ”

"Besides, you came to the tavern to inquire about the news, you want to find a target to use as a stepping stone to build your reputation, right?"

"I will now give you a goal. ”

"And a lot of help!"

As she spoke, she suddenly waved her hand and threw out two throwing knives, killing the pirate who quietly walked to the door, and the bartender who received the tavernkeeper's eyes and wanted to go to the back door!

"Don't try to inform Wolfpaw Eric right under our noses. ”

"It's under our control now. ”

"Zheng~" "Zheng~"

"Don't move!" "Knives don't have long eyes!" "Be honest with me!"

The boss used a throwing knife to kill people, and the hunters in the tavern who went to sea for a bounty, and the hunters who vowed to destroy the pirates rose up and cooperated, and controlled the pirates, black merchants, and female branch girls in the tavern.

"You're trying to force me to deal with Wolf Paw Eric?"

Ignoring the bounty hunter in the tavern, Blackbeard looked at the huntress coldly and asked indifferently.

"Nope. The huntress put a gem full of magic on the bar: "I'm hired, how about ten ancient magic stones?"

"Ancient Magic Stone ......"

As a dark wizard and a black iron spellcaster, Blackbeard can sense the magic contained in the gem and help him improve his strength.

But after studying the spell books provided by Langton and Sauron, I didn't see the relevant knowledge, I didn't know the magic stone, and I didn't see the real thing.

The cunning blackbeard didn't react.

The huntress thought he was too little: "How about I add ten dollars?"

Blackbeard shook his head, "I need to think about it." ”

"Yes. The huntress smiled, "But Wolf Paw Eric will get the news sooner or later." ”

"I hope you can prepare early. ”

"What about you?"

Blackbeard remained indifferent, completely ignoring these threats.

Huntress: "I'm Sarah Kokao, the Empire's greatest bounty hunter, and I've come to the Pirate's Lair, of course, to deal with pirates." ”

"Oh. Blackbeard nodded and said, "So you're provoking me to deal with Erik the second largest force on the island?"

"And then take the opportunity to create chaos and seek more?"

"Wow, you've seen through it. Sarah Kokao scratched her head and took out the Forbidden Demon Badge to launch, "You're not going to do anything to me, are you?"

"Without me, your Excellency would have to deal with Wolfpaw Eric alone. ”

Blackbeard shook his head, "No, I won't. ”

"Haha, as I guessed, you're a careerist!" said Sarah.

But Blackbeard got up and was about to leave the tavern directly with the Voodoo zombies.

"Boss, will he tell us?"

"Yes, Boss, the evil necromancer can't be trusted!"

Listening to her subordinates, Sarah shrugged her shoulders and got up after drinking the wine in her glass: "Then let's get out of here too." ”

The throwing knife was thrown at the controlled pirate and said, "Kill them all." ”

"Remember to be quiet!"

"Yes!" "Poof~" "Kill!" "Ah~" "Damn!"

"No!" the tavernkeeper picked up his sword hidden under the bar and parried the bounty hunter's blade, "You're breaking the rules of the island!"

"Whoosh~"

The cold light flashed, and the flying knife sank into the back of the boss's head.

With Sarah Kokao's move, the pirates and black merchants in the tavern were quickly slaughtered, leaving only the trembling woman.

Telling her to leave through the back door of the bar, Sarah spoke to a female branch girl.

"I'm the bounty hunter Sarah Kokao, and I want to challenge the rules and authority of Rock Island!"

"Welcome to catch me. ”

There was a sudden sound of fighting in the tavern, and the pirates around came to check, and then saw that all the pirates and black market merchants inside had been killed, and even the tavern owner and bartender did not survive, only the women were spared.

Upon inquiry, the news of Sarah and Blackbeard immediately spread.

Blackbeard, who had left the tavern, wanted to continue to find out the news.

However, because of Sarah Kokao's calculations, the pirates who had been slaughtered in the tavern quickly came with knives.

"It doesn't look like the plan is going to go smoothly. ”

Ignoring the menacing pirates, Blackbeard turned his head expressionlessly to look at the sea, the hidden side of the Daystar.

Then he slowly pulled out the sword of Triton that Sauron had forged.

"Everyone be careful, the people around him are zombies!"

"This guy is a mage!"

Pushing away the pirates who did not dare to approach, a strong man with a double-edged axe and a horned helmet stood up and asked in a deep voice, "I heard that you are going to challenge Captain Eric?"

Blackbeard asked, "So what?"

"Isn't it?"

"Bold!" the strong man in the horned helmet craned his neck and said angrily: "This is Rock Island! There are rules prohibiting private fights on the island! Whoever violates the rules will be killed!"

"Did I break the rules?" Blackbeard asked indifferently, "Who did I fight with?"

Some of the pirates sleeping on the street knew that fighting and screaming erupted from inside after Blackbeard left the tavern.

So he didn't kill anyone, he didn't violate the rules of the island.

Besides, the power of facing the evil mage.

Pirates did not dare to act rashly.

...... To be continued......
