(Adjust your condition, quit smoking, woke up early today, and feel in good spirits.) Two more today. ）——

The room was a little stuffy.

Sauron looked at the charts for a moment and then stood up, then opened the window and blew a cold breeze.

It is not easy to find a suitable development point, because in order to expand overseas, many large guilds with a scale of tens of thousands of people have failed. These are all professionals, and because of the reason why they reincarnated in the Styx after three deaths, they are less afraid of death than the natives of the plot in terms of mentality, but even so, there are many failures.

You can imagine how difficult it is to expand overseas!

This is only one of the difficulties, as Sauron not only wants to expand overseas, but also to take the opportunity to grow stronger in the face of the Sage's Havoc. Therefore, the geographical location he had to choose was even more special, not only to deliberately avoid the large indigenous people, but also to be able to avoid the influence of the Amazons. Otherwise, neither of these two powerful forces would allow him to rise, and even his status as one of the three pirate kings may not be useful, because pirates will not be able to defeat armies on land.

A bitter cold wind blew for a while.

Sauron beckoned and commanded, and a maid came in with a basin of water, and he washed his face and moved it for a moment, and then began to continue to observe the charts, marking out the location of the town and port that he remembered to have successfully resisted the attack of the natives. These places all have innate advantages, and one or two of them also have mineral advantages, and although Sauron did not have long-term overseas activities, he still has a very impressive memory of the location where he successfully established the town's power at that time.

"Here! …… Over here! …… And here! ……”

Sauron took a quill pen and scribbled, and seven or eight locations had been marked on the chart, most of them on the coastline, many of which were relatively remote. Don't underestimate the nautical charts in his hand, the value of this thing is actually quite amazing. There is no satellite positioning in this world, and nautical charts are drawn by manual exploration little by little. Perhaps to Sauron, one of the new pirate kings, this chart was nothing more than a matter of order, but to others, especially those merchants who ran the sea, it was worth a thousand dollars!

The topography of the Gulf Islands is not depicted on it, as well as various safe shipping routes.

At the same time, it also records the exploration of the deep sea area by pirates over the past hundred years, as well as the distribution of dangerous creatures in the nearby seas, and records the activity area of a small number of marine intelligent creatures.

It can be said that even if it is 5,000 Jindler, there are merchants willing to buy it!

Naturally, Sauron would not sell.

Information in this day and age is an astonishing asset. He wants to monopolize the interests of the overseas islands, how can he let others get involved in exploration. At present, the overseas trade of the entire south coast is with the Amazon region, and they deal with the same group of Amazon women, so their profit is only about three times. However, if you can trade with the natives, then the profit of the trade can reach five or even ten times more, and some simple knick-knacks can be exchanged for gold from the natives.

Bell Block!

There was a slight knock on the door, and the people outside seemed cautious, knowing that Sauron was thinking something important, and were a little afraid to interrupt his train of thought.

"Come in."

Sauron put the quill pen down. He turned around and glanced at it, "How are things going?" ”

Entering the door was a sturdy man with a scar on his face, a scar on the side of his face, a scar on his forehead, and a scar on his chin. Just by looking at it, I feel that this guy is fierce and has a lot of combat experience. Nicknamed 'Scarface', he participated in Sauron's battle to kill the Lord of the Swamp, and was also the pirate leader who was promoted later. His subordinates controlled one large ship and two small boats, and recruited about seventy or eighty men.

Sauron has been expanding the size of the pirates lately!

He has co-opted all the gangsters from all walks of life, and there are now nearly 1,500 pirates under his command. Among them, there were about five or six hundred people who directly obeyed him. There is no way in this world to pull out thousands of people, because ordinary civilians are of little use, and the men recruited by Sauron are at least thugs who have received more than five years of militia training. The weakest of these thugs can also take down three ordinary adult men with his bare hands.

As for high-level professionals, it's better not to think too much.

The high-level professionals in this world are all managers of one party's forces, and the worst ones are all at the level of small bosses, and there are only two fourth-order professionals under Sauron, and the other highest professional level is 12, which is about the strength of the third order. At present, the casters have not yet been recruited, and the mages are usually very angry, and it is not easy to meet them, so Sauron does not expect much from them. There is a way for the caster to make money, and it is basically impossible to defect to a pirate force, because being a pirate is too dangerous.

"Your Excellency."

Scarface carefully handed over a stack of scrolls and said in a deep voice, "I specially took someone to the City of Fortune to find the secret method shop and buy it according to Your Excellency's instructions. There were twenty-seven spell scrolls in total, and the wizard in the shop said that you could get a discount on so many at once, and that it cost a total of 26,500 kindlers. ”

Speaking of this, Scarface wiped the sweat from his forehead slightly, and continued: "The shipment of Viper Island has been dissolved, and that group of cunning merchants are willing to take the initiative to raise the purchase price a little because they are in awe of Your Excellency's prestige, and purchase the goods at fifty percent of the selling price on the market. So we also brought back 21,500 kindler this time. ”

He cautiously handed over a slip and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

That's a lot of money.

Twenty Kindler is one pound, and 20,000 Kindler is a thousand pounds of gold.

He had never seen such a large sum of money before, and if it weren't for the cruelty of his fear of Sauron, he would even want to sneak up some of it. However, the idea only came to him, and then he gave up on it, because Sauron was now one of the three pirate kings, and he thought that the future of serving under Sauron was greater, and there was no need to lower his status in your honor. Last time, there was a person who secretly swallowed the goods, and after being discovered by Your Excellency, he hung himself directly on the mast.

"Good."

Sauron picked up the list and glanced at it, then at the thin man behind Scarface, the guy shook his head slightly, and Sauron said with a smile on his face, "You did a good job!" Take someone to get 500 kindlers, this is a reward for you, go out and have some fun and relax. We're going to go to sea in a while! ”

Naturally, he won't let these subordinates mess around, and every boss has his eyeliner by his side.

If Sauron expands overseas, his connection with the mainland will inevitably be weakened, so he needs to prepare a lot of things, including the spell scrolls he needs to learn in the future. This thing is too expensive, it costs hundreds of Jindler at every turn, and high-level spell scrolls with more than five rings sometimes cost seven or eight thousand Jindler. Although Sauron is rich, he doesn't have enough money to buy whatever he wants, and it is not easy to draw about 30,000 Kindler to buy spell scrolls.

Unless he completely abandons the South Coast situation, he will have to pull money to sustain it.

This batch of spell scrolls is enough for a while!

Sauron doesn't have the energy to change any extraordinary equipment for the time being, because this thing is too scarce and too expensive. He didn't even wear leather armor because he needed to cast spells, and his needs for other equipment were mainly focused on the most expensive rings, jewelry, ornaments, belts, and so on. This kind of equipment costs tens of millions of kindler at every turn, and it is quite difficult to buy it, where does he have so much money and time now.

You don't have to worry about running out of money!

This is still a coastal area, if you go to the city of wizards, you can pull a wizard on the street is worth more than 100,000 yuan, and the slightly more awesome magic master is worth hundreds of thousands. In the City of Wizards, you can spend even a million Kindler in a matter of minutes. [A wizard tower.] 】

Naturally, Sauron didn't have the ability to go to the Wizarding City to spend it, so he didn't think about buying those legendary equipment that scared people at a terrifying price for the time being.

………………

Scarface couldn't help but show a hint of surprise when he heard Sauron's reward, although 500 Jindler was not a lot, but it was also a small fortune for him. Send one or two hundred Jindler casually, and then take them to drink and play with women for a dashing circle, and finally when he comes back, he can swallow two or three hundred Jindler himself. The pirate industry is that the boss eats meat and the younger brother drinks soup, and the minions below live a drunken and dreamy life, as long as they ensure that they have wine and meat and a little money to find a woman.

He nodded respectfully, then prepared to turn and leave.

Sauron put down the shipping bill and glanced at the map, frowned and said, "You wait and see One-Eyed Jack, and ask him why the batch of finely forged military weapons I need hasn't been sent over yet?" ”

"Let him be delivered within three days, or he will be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks!"

Scarface stopped when he heard this, then turned his head with a sinister smile on his face, stretched out his tongue and licked his lips and said, "Your Excellency, don't worry! I'll go over and check it out right away, and I'll be sure that the weapons will arrive within three days. ”

Sauron nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand, "Very good, let's go down." ”

"Yes." Scarface nodded respectfully.

The strength of the pirates under Sauron is still a little weaker, although many pirates have good combat experience and are also very brave when fighting, but after all, they have less accumulation, and it is necessary to rely on equipment to improve their combat effectiveness.

This batch of finely forged military weapons is important!
