Link had thought that when the Tyrant of the Deep Sea was about to awaken, the Fishmen of the Deep Sea would shrink their defenses and bring rich supplements to the Tyrant of the Depths.

So in the open sea, there is basically no need to worry about any accidents - as long as you don't die.

Not counting the war caused by the Jade Grand Duke's preparation to attack the deep sea fishmen, the various races have basically begun to prepare to hide, so as not to be approached by the deep sea tyrants.

But Link didn't expect that although the deep-sea fishmen were the biggest insecurity factor in the open sea, there were other insecurity factors.

When the threat of the deep-sea fish-men was removed, insecurity such as pirates suddenly took over the vast majority.

Pirates, if they are in the coastal area, are at most a rabble, harassing the inhabitants of the coast, and any nobleman can deal a heavy blow to any pirate group as long as they are serious.

But in the open sea, the power of pirates has skyrocketed.

Because the wealth of the open sea is amazing, and the force of the open sea is also high and fearful.

Here, high-level professionals are the main force of battle, and pirate groups without the existence of high-level professionals cannot survive here at all.

The benefits of the open sea are so rich that even high-ranking professionals would rather give up their status as nobles than the status of an empire, just to plunder the merchant ships that pass through the open sea.

Often, the income brought by a merchant ship is the wealth that a high-ranking professional in the interior can only obtain for several years.

And once plundered to a large fleet, a high-level professional has so much wealth in his life.

Under the temptation of such interests, countless strong people are willing to take risks and come to the open sea to participate in this life-and-death battle.

Rao is Link himself, after hearing about the benefits of pirates in the open sea, he was moved, thinking that he would simply come here to break through.

But after thinking about it, I still dismissed this attention.

"Juggernaut, how many high-level professionals are there on this pirate ship?"

Kalshana suddenly became interested, and wanted to make a bet with Link.

Link grimaced, too lazy to pay attention to her.

With the ascension gaining great power, Karshana seems to be getting more and more out of tune.

It's moving in the direction of battle mania all the time.

"If there is only one, I'm afraid I won't be able to move this merchant ship."

Alice grabbed a strand of silver hair and said with a smile, "After all, there is also a high-level professional here." ”

She looked at the captain's quarters of the merchant ship, where a high-ranking knight was stationed and why the mall dared to sail in the open sea.

After all, without a high-level professional in charge, any pirate can easily seize this mall and lose all his money.

As a high-level professional who guards merchant ships, the other party will receive 5% to 10% of the income after completing the transaction on the ship.

"But I don't think that high-ranking knight is reliable."

Karshana shrugged her shoulders, "Don't you think his reaction is a little strange?" ”

Link was stunned for a moment, then looked at the situation over there, and didn't seem to find anything.

Alice narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she saw the scenery over there: "Ah, it's really a little strange, not only is there no worry, but there is a little excitement, he doesn't even have full control over his power, and there are subtle signs of infection by his power around him." ”

"It seems that either he was excited to see the battle coming, or he knew that these pirates were coming."

Karshana sighed, "I feel that the owner of this merchant ship is also unlucky. ”

Link leaned against the railing of the merchant ship, looking at the merchant ship owner who was shouting hoarsely to the sailors to prepare for battle, and couldn't help but pout.

This boss is a viscount's manpower, and Link is not familiar with him, so the ship fare should be paid a lot, and the price of 200 gold coins is simply ridiculously high. And the other party also has a lot of words, with Link and these people, how much less cargo he loaded, how much he lost when he transported it to the open sea, and his personality of eagerly pulling oil out of the stone is simply speechless.

The money will not be credited to the account, and it will be directly pocketed by the boss himself.

The merchant ship, except for a few guest rooms around Link that had been converted into sailors' rooms, was full of goods, and Link took Carlshana and Alice with him, which was also because of this.

"Pirates coming?"

A couple who were on the merchant ship like Link ran out of a nearby guest room in a panic and asked Link nervously.

"Well, it seems to be a Bloodsail Pirate."

Link pointed to the pirate ship in front of which was gradually revealing its flag and said, "A sailor shouted that just now, this area is quite famous. ”

Link's ears and eyes are very sensitive, and he can notice shouts from a distance.

The couple is probably going to go to the open sea to find a new life, the strength is quite strong, and they have the level of professionals, but unfortunately it is difficult to mix in the open sea, and this time they are unlucky, and they are directly attacked by pirates.

Seeing their worried looks, Link thought for a moment and comforted them: "Don't worry, there are many pirates in the open sea, but merchant ships are not fish, and this time there will definitely be no problems." ”

After all, he's still here, and it's unlikely that the Bloodsail Pirates will succeed no matter what.

Unless they have a master-level powerhouse, but with this strength, what are they still doing as pirates?

Link has never heard of a master-level powerhouse who is a pirate, even if he was a pirate before, as long as he becomes a master-level professional and wants to settle down, some countries pay a big price to invite.

Even the Glorious Empire, in history, there have been several pirates-turned-counts and marquises, who have acquired large territories and passed them on.

Just as Link comforted the couple, the door to the other room opened, and the people who had just run back from seasickness also walked out.

This is a father and son, the father has a calm personality and is more introverted, the child is very weak, he is not used to being seasick at sea, but now he has also run out, looking at the pirate ship in the distance and is silent.

This is all the passengers that the merchant ship carries, after all, it is a cargo ship, and it can't carry many people.

Link is very curious about this father, because he can feel that he has a strong strength in his body, but in ordinary life, he shows no power everywhere.

In front of professionals, it feels like there is nothing wrong with it, especially the extraordinary aura is even more delicate, and acting has no meaning.

But this father still does this, the only possibility can only be that there is something wrong with the other party, and he can't use his own strength.

In connection with the current situation, Link can't help but think that the other party has offended someone in the interior, and has been sealed with power, so he can only go to the open sea to beg for a living.

It's a pity that now the open sea is fully contracting, and the tyrant of the deep sea is about to wake up, and there are constant troubles coming over.

"It's overboard—"

There was a shout at the bow, and the pirate ship had already sailed to its side, and the vicious pirates were standing on the side of the ship, ready to jump ship.

The leader of the pirates is a high-ranking professional, and the chaotic forces of chaos are frantically encroaching on everything around him, trying to turn the neighborhood into his home turf. (To be continued.) )
