After letting go of the island leader, we took advantage of the chaos and hurried to the island council, and Sister Hua on the other side of the road was disturbed by the surging crowd, and tried to find us through the crowd several times, but in the face of the passionate pirates, Sister Hua's attempts were in vain.

The island council of the Golden Islands is composed of hundreds of large and small groups in the archipelago, and each pirate group sends a representative as a member of the island council, but due to the difference in strength and the distribution of benefits, not each member of parliament represents one vote. All pirate groups according to the size of weapons and equipment and other comprehensive strength considerations, the actual number of votes allocated varies, more may have ten votes or twenty votes, less even half a vote, every time there is a major event or major decision that needs to be voted on, first according to the voting results of the number of heads, and then according to the actual number of votes represented by each person to count, the final result is subject to the actual number of votes.

However, this parliamentary system is mostly in vain, because several of the larger pirate groups on the island have private exchanges of interests, and to put it mildly, they are tied together, and they have a large number of votes, so basically as long as several larger pirate groups do not disagree, they have the final say in the affairs of the islands.

Of course, the parliament is only a decision-making body, and the day-to-day operation of the islands is carried out by the pirate cabinet, but this cabinet has little power, and it is completely carried out according to the decisions of the parliament.

The current head of the Golden Isles Council is the head of the archipelago's largest island group, and most of the pirates refer to him as Lord Arthur. In fact, Arthur is not his real name, the reason why he is called Arthur is because in the world of pirates, there was a legend of a very good pirate, it is said that the pirate is extremely brave and strategic, and under his leadership, the pirates under his command are all brave and good at fighting, and in the later period, they can even fight against the armies of some small empires. This very bullish pirate led his pirate army to eventually occupy a large island, established the so-called pirate country, and also proclaimed himself King Arthur, but later as soon as King Arthur died, the pirate country gradually disappeared, only existing in the word of mouth of the pirates.

It is precisely because of this story that the pirates of the Golden Isles have great respect for King Arthur and want to establish a great cause like King Arthur, but the actual situation is that no pirate can have the ability and courage to dominate the group, and finally have to compromise to form a loose parliamentary regime. However, every pirate still has a dream of King Arthur in their hearts, so the current leader of the Pirate Council also changed his name to Arthur.

Uncle Wei and I went all the way up against the flow of people, and the many pirates were full of only the huge merchant ship, so no one cared about us, and in a very smooth situation, we quickly arrived at the parliament building on the island.

To say that it is a parliament building is actually not worthy of its name, just like the Governor's Palace on Paradise Island, it sounds very imposing, but it is actually a low three-story building.

There is a small courtyard on the periphery of the parliament building, in which some flowers and plants are planted, and even a small landscape pool is built, but because there is no living water that can go directly here, it is necessary to manually change the water every once in a while, of course, the pirates themselves cannot do this, and the poor slaves suffer.

Because most of the pirates had gone to the docks, there were only two minions standing guard at the entrance of the parliament building, and these two minions stood there loosely and crookedly, with cigarettes in their mouths, and completely undisciplined, saying that they were sentries standing guard, which was simply an insult to the sentries.

I walked up with the people, and the two sentries also looked at us casually and said, "What are you doing?" ”

"We are merchants from Paradise Island, and we want to talk to Master Arthur about business." I said politely.

"Talking to Master Arthur about business?" The minions looked us up and down, "Master Arthur is very busy, you can see you if you want?" ”

Since ancient times, it has been Hades who have been better, and the little ghosts are difficult, fortunately, we have been prepared, I asked Xiaoka to take out a bottle of rum that he carried with him, handed it to the minions, and then said with a flattering face: "This is our own rum, you can taste it first." ”

Although the little minion has never drunk rum, he has heard the reputation of rum, and when he saw the wine handed over by Xiaoka, his eyes immediately lit up, and he took the wine to remove the cover, and drank it with his neck up, and the other little minion on the side looked at the appearance of his companion drinking, and kept swallowing saliva, and after enduring it for a few seconds, he couldn't help but grab it, and poured it directly into his mouth.

The amount of alcohol of the two little minions made us stunned, a bottle of rum was taken by them like this, and I wiped out half of the bottle in an instant, and the two of them were red and full of wine while drinking and sticking out their thumbs to praise.

I took advantage of his happiness, and hurriedly said: "The taste of this wine is not bad, as long as you help us inform us, and when the business is done in the future, I guarantee that you will always have wine." ”

The two minions were so dazed by the rum that they didn't think much of one of them running to report it, and before leaving, he told us to look at his companion and not drink all the rum.

A few minutes later, the little minion walked out with another pirate, who had a slanted scar on the left side of his face, starting from the corner of his left eyebrow and extending to his chin.

Scar Man looked at us, then at the little minion who had drunk all the rum and was sitting on the ground, and asked, "Are you from Paradise Island?" ”

I nodded and said, "Exactly." I'm here to talk to you about the rum trade. ”

"Do you know where this is? The other businessmen didn't have time to hide, but you dared to take the initiative to send them to the door? ”

"Of course we know where this is, but for businessmen, as long as there is a place where they can do business, even if it is up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, it is not a big deal."

The scar man looked at me, and a hint of murder suddenly flashed in his eyes, "But why do we want to do business with you?" We are pirates, we have guns and knives in our hands, and we don't need to spend a penny to get your stuff. ”

Facing the scar man who suddenly attacked, Lin Ruyi was a little nervous, and unconsciously wanted to touch the gun behind her back, I stretched out my hand and quietly pressed her hand, and then continued to smile and said to the scar man: "Of course, you can loot us now, and even the merchant ships we docked at the dock can be taken together, but isn't this equivalent to killing chickens and taking eggs?" As far as I know, rum isn't that easy to get, is it? ”

The scar man stared at me for a few seconds, then suddenly stepped back back, and the expression on his face was a little soothing, "We can do business with the natives of the nearby islands, and of course we can do business with you, Lord Arthur is very interested in you, come with me." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and then walked into the parliament building with everyone following the scar man, and I whispered to Lin Ruyi: "No matter what happens for a while, don't show the guy until the last resort!" ”

Uncle Wei suddenly asked me in a whisper: "Wouldn't it be too dangerous for us to leave those students on the dock, and if the other pirates knew that there was rum on the ship, would they just ransack it?" ”

"Probably not, their attention is now on the big merchant ship, and they can't pay attention to our ship for the time being. But you can take care of the beard and don't make any mistakes. ”
