Chapter Eighty-Five: Plane Pirates
With the first fleet returning from the Clion plane with countless Mithril, Gold Essence, and Obsidian, the Great Plane Age of Discovery officially began. Countless countries, families, and unions have organized their own fleets to shuttle through the endless planes, bringing those scarce metal deposits, precious treasures, and strange creatures back to the main plane.
Prosperous plane trade brings both wealth and misery. Countless people have made a lot of money because of plane trade, and some people have lost their wealth because of plane trade. The Chaos Plane Storm has always been responsible for destroying a large fleet. For small fleets or one-way trading ships, the elusive plane pirates are even more terrifying.
Who the first Dimensional Pirate was, no one knows. But the first pirate to let people know about the prestige of the Plane Pirates still makes all the Plane Merchants hate him to this day.
Francis Drake is a great man who makes all plane pirates submit. Born in a small plane, Drake joins a fleet of wandering ships after witnessing his home plane destroyed and burned by plane merchants. In the years that followed, Derek relied on his ingenuity to take possession of the Wandering Fleet. And quickly grow it into a business.
With a fleet of his own, Drake plundered everywhere, destroying countless dimensional fleets and plundering a vast amount of wealth. For a moment, all the plane merchants were terrified when they talked about Drake and his fleet of black ghosts.
In the end, Drake paid the price for his actions, and the Holy Second Empire at the time dispatched a large fleet and united forces to encircle and suppress Drake. Although Derek knew the news beforehand and had already begun to hide. But under the wrath of the Holy Second Empire, Drake and his fleet of black ghosts were burned in the Endless Plane.
I thought that killing Drake would be able to restrain the increasingly rampant plane piracy. But what all the countries didn't expect was that after Drake's death, the plane pirates not only did not disappear, but became more prosperous, and even some forces began to secretly organize plane pirates to fight their opponents.
Rumors about the location of the treasure that Drake plundered during his lifetime prompted more people to join the ranks of the plane pirates. The more active Plane Pirate Age of Discovery has arrived.
The Age of Discovery of the Plane Pirates lasted for a long time, until the destruction of the Holy Second Empire. In that dark age that swept all planes, even lawless plane pirates were not spared, and under the attack of the abyss and evil gods, many famous pirates fell in the dark ages.
After the end of the Dark Ages, the nascent Holy Third Reich took advantage of the fact that the Plane Pirates had not yet recovered from their vital injuries and controlled the scale of the Plane Pirates within the scope of their control. Therefore, some of the existing dimensional pirates basically have the participation of the countries of the main plane.
However, there are some pirates who are unwilling to give in and abandon the tradition of dimensional pirates, and the most famous of these pirates is Anna Don Caterina Acato, the lioness of Inlet, the owner of the Lady Acato.
Anna from the Inlet plane
Originally just a kind peasant girl. But an attack by a plane pirate changes the beautiful girl's life. After being plundered to the pirate fleet, Anna was rewarded to a small pirate after suffering humiliation.
But this incident became a turning point in Anna's fate, and the emaciated pirate who became Anna's husband turned out to be the sole heir to the pirate family, the Acator family.
After her husband was taken back to the family, Anna became the mistress of the Acato family. Maybe it was the goddess of fate who played a joke on the poor child. The Acato family was defeated in a war between pirates, and only one pirate ship was left to escape.
Although Anna, who had just lived a good life, became a wandering pirate in a blink of an eye, Anna at this time was no longer the kind and simple peasant girl. The pirate's den has changed Anna's life forever, and the roar of the lioness of Inright echoes through the endless planes.
Becoming one of the few plane pirates who is not controlled by many countries in the main plane, the Lady Acato has naturally become the target of public criticism. Soon after, the Lady Atoka came under attack after a raid, and the entire fleet was wiped out. Only a handful of pirates were able to escape. And among these people, there were two teenagers, one named Barnak Unoria and the other named Balosa Robert.
Carl doesn't know exactly why Daddy Dead became a thief from a pirate on the plane, but Carl is clear about Daddy Daddy falling out with the bastard in front of him. Therefore, Carl was very surprised that Robert would find him.
After drinking the wine in the wine glass, Robert snorted and said, "Little Carl, there must be a reason why I came to you this time." And it's a reason you can't refuse. ”
"I know where Rokens is!"
"Tell us your terms. Robert. Karl was silent for a long time, and then said with a pale face.
Kalenezi, who knew the inside story, didn't say anything at this time, just patted Karl on the shoulder, and then stood up, "I'll go to the back kitchen and see what else to eat." ”
"Yet, old Calle has already told you about the goal of this time. I just said that I needed Old Barnack's Golden Compass to find the exact location of the Lady Atoka. Although I am also a person who experienced that battle back then, so many years have passed. Whether the exact location of the sinking of the Lady Atoka is still in place is unknown. ”
"In return, after finding the wreck of the Lady Atoka, you will receive thirty percent of the treasures on the Lady Atoka, and I will also assist you in capturing Rokens. ”
"As long as you tell me the location of Rokens, I will take care of the rest, and I will hand over the golden compass to you. Carl flatly rejected Robert's kindness.
"I'm afraid you'll still need to come with me. I've seen Banark's Golden Compass, and as an artifact with elves, only those who recognize it can use it. Since Barnack gave you the compass, it's sure to be the only one you can use!" Robert said with a wry smile.
"How
Well, my friends have used it and there is no problem. Carl blurted out. But after saying this, Carl suddenly realized that he was shocked by the fact that there was not even a single memory in his mind that any of his friends had used the Golden Compass.
Seeing Carl stunned in place, Robert only thought that Carl had realized that he had said something wrong and didn't care.
"It seems that Barnack has not told you what the Golden Compass really does. ”
Robert paused, then continued, "Locating something is just the simplest function of the Golden Compass. His really powerful effect is that after you ask him a question, he can give you the direction and let you find the most authentic answer. The reason why Barnack searched for Julius Caesar's tomb all his life was because of the guidance of the golden compass. ”
Taking the golden compass out of the space ring, Carl looked at the ordinary golden compass in his hand and did not speak.
"So, without you coming with me, even if you lend me the Golden Compass, I won't be able to use it. Robert said, looking at the golden compass in Carl's hand.
"I've never seen the spirit of the Golden Compass you speak, Robert. Carl said as he looked at the familiar golden compass in his hand.
"Well, I know. Robert replied.
"You know?" said Karl.
"Because the golden compass in your hand is not complete. Robert replied, "It is precisely because it lacks such a crucial part that the spirit of the Golden Compass can only sleep and cannot wake up." ”
"This key part was destroyed by Barnack after asking the Golden Compass questions. ”
"And to get this key part, only the mechanical plane has it!"
"The mechanical plane?" Karl looked Robert in the eye, "Robert, tell me the truth! Is Rokens related to the wreck of the Lady Atoka?"
In the face of Carl's questioning, Robert seemed very frank, "That's right, as long as you go with me to find the wreck of the Lady Atoka, then you will definitely be able to meet Rokens." ”
Well, Carl was a little stunned, and Robert's directness made Carl a little unacceptable.
"Now that everything has been told to you. Then I'll take my leave. If you think about it, just let old Kale tell me. I can send someone to pick you up at any time. ”
After saying that, Robert shouted to Kalenezi, who was still busy in the back kitchen, and stepped directly into the portal in the corner of the tavern and left.
"Damn Robert, I've been busy in the kitchen for so long, and I'm just leaving. Seeing Robert leave, Callenezzi came out of the kitchen and cursed.
"Old Calle, you heard what Robert said to me just now. Karl said to Kalenezi.
"What's the matter? you still want me, an old fellow, to go with you in search of the so-called wreck of the Lady Akato?" said Kalenezzi angrily, "I'm an old bone now, and I don't have the momentum of your young people, so don't think about tossing my old bone." ”
"Just your skinny body, let
I bring it with me, I won't bring it. I want you to help me find a few buddies and go to the mechanical plane together!"
"This is easy to do, you go directly to the mercenary guild to post the task, as long as the pay is enough, there will be a lot of people coming. Kalenezzi said as he put the finished dish in front of Karl.
"What are you going to do with the mercenary guild and find all that waste?" Karl said vaguely, picking up a piece of fat meat from the soup to his mouth.
"Since you're going to ask me to help you find a companion, then I have only one condition, and I'll get half of what you're paid on the Lady Atoka!" said Kalenezzi.
"Old Kale, you're robbing money!" Karl almost squirted out of his mouth when he heard Kalenezzi's words.
"As a great plane merchant, business is business, and friendship is friendship. Carl, that's what old Barnack told you!" Kalenezzi said, glancing at Karl.
"Okay, as long as you can help me find the right teammates, then don't say fifty percent of the pay, I can give you everything. But there is one more condition, and that is that they need to accompany me to find the Lady Atoka!"
In the woods, not knowing how far away from the town of Gran, five or six bonfires were blazing. And around these campfires, four or five bandits were lying down and resting. In a tent not far from the bandits, screams and heys could be heard from time to time.
Hearing the cries in the tent, the two thieves guarding the door looked through the gap in the tent curtain from time to time, but they couldn't see anything.
"Eh, when will I be able to be as happy as the boss. The thief on the left said enviously.
"What are you daydreaming about? When you become the boss, I can become a noble!" said the thief on the right disdainfully.
"However, that bitch's ass is really warped, I don't know if we can taste it after being played by the boss!" the thief on the right continued to say enviously.
"Hey, why don't you ignore me?" The bandit, who was obsessive, found that his companion had ignored him after he had finished speaking. "Are you really daydreaming?" The bandit on the right was a little dissatisfied and pushed his companion next to him, but the bandit on the left fell down with a bang.
Seeing that his companion was killed, the bandit on the right immediately panicked and wanted to shout loudly to inform the other companions. But when I opened my mouth, I realized that I couldn't say anything.
"Kill them all. These miscellaneous pieces are really disgusting!" A crisp voice sounded in the bandit's ears, and at the last moment when his eyes closed, a tall figure appeared in his eyes.
