87_87057 After the three of them finished talking about their experiences, Bai Qi said: "I don't think there is a problem with Adrian's idea of clearing out the fishmen, but my ship was robbed after all, you should know that these city-states on the banks of the Suluo River, the first one hates the fishmen, and the second hates the water thieves, once we are branded as water thieves, I am afraid that no matter how many fishmen we kill, it will be difficult to obtain the nobility of the city-state, so we must deal with this ship." n∈”

Adrian said: "How to deal with it?" ”

Bai Qi said: "Have you ever heard the name Blackwater City in Leony City in the past few days?" ”

Seeing the two of them shaking their heads, Bai Qi continued: "On the south bank of the Suluo River opposite the Leoni city-state, there is a large swamp, and in the depths of this swamp there is a lake, this lake is called Blackwater Lake by the water thieves, and on the south side of the Blackwater Lake, there is a small city where the water thieves gather, called Blackwater City. ”

Bai Qi paused, and then said, "According to what I inquired, there is a shipyard in Blackwater City, we can go and see if we can dispose of this ship in Blackwater City, and then buy or order a better warship." ”

Listening to Bai Qi's words, Adrian frowned and said, "According to what you said, this Blackwater City is a city of water thieves, completely lawless, with the strength of the three of us to enter, will it be too weak?" ”

Bai Qi said: "According to the information provided by the boatswain who took refuge in me, the city of water thieves is very chaotic, although the largest force in the city, the black water water thieves claim to be the master, but they do not have absolute control over the city, it is said that the black water water thieves have stopped going out to loot over the years, but are committed to maintaining the order of the black water city, and buy slaves from other thieves, and reclaim farmland around the black water city, it seems that they want to turn the black water city into a new human city-state, so, this powerful water thief who is said to have more than thirty chosen warriors, It shouldn't be a threat to us. ”

"In addition to the Blackwater Water Thieves, there are also four relatively strong water thieves in Blackwater City, namely the Sharp Blade Water Thief, the Black Fish Water Thief, the Blood Sail Water Thief, and the Winged Snake Water Thief. Among them, the Blackfish Water Thieves support the Black Water Bandits, while the other three Water Thieves are all against the Black Water Thieves turning Blackwater City into a new human city-state. Each of these four water thieves is said to have more than ten Chosen Warriors. ”

"In addition to these four relatively large water thieves, there are dozens of small and medium-sized water thieves in Blackwater City, many small water thieves, a God's Chosen Warrior, a big ship, and dozens of sailors are one group, I think with the strength of the three of us, as long as we find out the situation, it should not be a problem to mix into Blackwater City."

Speaking of this, Bai Qi took out a letter, handed it to Adrian, and said: "This is the letter I found from the captain's room of this ship, the captain of this ship has a secret relationship with Blackwater City, and has a deal with a pirate captain named Will in Blackwater City, and they have agreed that they will trade in a place called Blackstone Bend, two hundred miles downstream of Hera City, on the seventh day of next month." ”

"Blackstone Bend is a natural river bay located on the south bank of the Soro River, about 500 kilometers upstream of the city of Leony, and is called Blackstone Bend because the bay is covered with black boulders. The sailors who took refuge with me told me that Captain Will had built a small dock in the depths of Blackstone Bend, and that the ship's former captain, Du Bo, had gone there several times to make deals. ”

"On the seventh of next month, there are still thirteen days until now, we can sweep the fish-man tribe along the banks of the Suluo River, and at the same time sail to Blackstone Bend, to trade with Captain Will, and by the way, see if we can enter Blackwater City and buy a warship by Captain Will's way."

Adrian frowned and asked rhetorically, "What if Captain Will doesn't cooperate?" Judging by the tone of this letter, Captain Will and this Captain Dubo seem to be familiar, what if he is hostile to you because you killed Captain Dubo? ”

Listening to Adrian's rhetorical question, Bai Qi smiled slightly and said, "If that's what you said, then it's even better, I think the water thieves should also be within the scope of Leoni City's clearance, right?" If Will doesn't cooperate, we'll kill him and seize his ship. We dare not let people know about our seizure of merchant ships, but if we seize the ships of pirates, it will not only be a sin, but a merit. ”

Adrian's eyes lit up and he nodded, "That's a good idea. ”

She thought for a moment and then said, "But before that, I think it's better for us to get Leoni's citizenship first, because the people here attach great importance to citizenship, and with this status, our rights and interests can be protected by the laws of the city-state." With our strength, it is not difficult to obtain citizenship, we have boats, we can sweep the fish-man tribe, and then use small boats to transport the loot back, three days is enough. ”

Bai Qi shook his head and said: "Don't be so troublesome, as far as I know, you can get citizenship by donating money and goods, I destroyed the Gnoll tribe and killed Captain Du Bo, although I didn't get too many system rewards, but I got a lot of money in this world." ”

Adrian said, "That's better, then let's go back to the city overnight?" ”

Bai Qi thought for a while and said: "The three sailors who took refuge in me, one is the son of the former fleet admiral of the city-state of Stia, whose father fell because of the change of regime and stood on the wrong line, and the other two are a father and son, of which the father is the personal soldier of the general who fell because he stood on the wrong line, found the son whose master has been reduced to a slave, and continued to follow him with his son. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Qi smiled, "Although these three people have taken refuge in me, they will definitely not have any loyalty at all, but when you talked about citizenship just now, I thought of a way, maybe you can obtain the limited loyalty of these three people." ”

"We can take the general's son, and promise him citizenship as well, and I think that for a nobleman who was once relegated to slavery, the general's son must be very eager to obtain citizenship, especially the citizenship of the glorious city of Leony. Then we left our loyal soldiers and his son behind to guard the ship, and I thought I would be able to leave with peace of mind. ”

Although Gunder was given the status of a commoner by the Rummel family, the commoner was not equal to a citizen, and the citizens of the city-state era had a series of rights, while the commoners did not, they only had one more freedom than the slaves.

Adrian nodded, "It's a good idea, if you become a citizen of Leoni with us, then his fate will be tied to us, and once we become water thieves, even he will not be able to wash it away." ”

Bai Qi immediately called Lilith, who was guarding the door, and asked him to call all three of Gunde's and Bode.

The three of them walked into the captain's room, and Bai Qi said to them: "The orc tribe on the other side of the Arare River valley is about to move again, and the city-state of Leoni has just issued a decree that as long as you donate enough property, or obtain enough merits, you can obtain Leoni's citizenship, and for the Chosen Warriors, as long as you can get enough merits, you can even become the patriarch of the Leoni Senate." ”

Saying this, Bai Qi stared at Gunde and said, "I have enough property to even donate a Leoni's citizenship for you, but, my general's son, I wonder if this property can be exchanged for your loyalty?" ”

Listening to Bai Qi's words, Gunde's eyes suddenly burst out with terrifying brilliance, and he knelt down in front of Bai Qi without hesitation, and said: "Captain, oh no, master, if you let Gunde obtain Leoni's citizenship, then Gunde will always be your most loyal servant. ”

Bai Qi nodded and said, "My friend and I will return to the docks of Leony City overnight and go to the temple early tomorrow morning to make offerings, I want to know if I can keep my ship with Bode and Lenka on board." ”

Hearing Bai Qi say that he wanted to donate his citizenship for Gunde, Bode also seemed very excited, and he said loudly: "Your Excellency, you can leave with confidence, I will defend your ship with my life." ”

Listening to Bode's words, Bai Qi couldn't help frowning.

Downstream of Leoni, there are generally no pirates, and they can park their boats away from the river banks to avoid the fish-men who live on the shore, but the biggest problem comes from the twenty oars at the bottom of the cabin.

With Bai Qi present, the twenty unarmed oarsmen were no threat, but if only Bode and Lenka were left, the threat of these twenty strong oarsmen would suddenly increase.

Although Gunder was also excited, his mental element was obviously much better than that of Bode, and he quickly calmed down and proposed a solution to Bai Qi's concerns.

He said: "Master, I have been the oars of this ship, I know them, and there is a small group of them within them, and if we raise out a few of the leaders of the oars, and make them sailors' apprentices, and let them see the hope of freedom, and feed and clothe them, I think they will not oppose us." ”

After thinking for a moment, Bai Qi and Adrian both recognized Gunde's attention.

Bai Qi seemed to remember something, turned his head to look at Barrian, who had been standing on the side, without saying a word, and asked, "Barrian, can you erase the mark on the slave's face that was stabbed with a spell potion?" ”

Speaking of this, he pointed to the slave mark on Lilith's neck and said, "It is said that this special mark is pierced with a special potion and can be erased with a special spell. ”

Barian said, "I'll give it a try." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his slender fingers, which were as white as a woman, and pointed at Lilith's neck, and a faint blue light erupted from his fingers and shone on Lilith's neck.

The sudden appearance of the spell brilliance startled everyone, and also made several people show different looks.

Lilith was full of disbelief and surprise.

Father and son Gunde and Bode were faintly happy in the surprise.

Until Barian received the probe spell, it was still hard to believe that the big boy, who looked prettier than most women, was actually a priest, and judging by the effortlessness of his spell casting, he was still a full-fledged priest.

Ignoring the surprised gazes of the natives, Barian turned back to Bai Qi and said, "Chief, I can do it, it's easy, do you want to erase it now?" ”

Bai Qi said: "Wait." ”

After saying that, he turned back to Gund and said, "Go and call the leaders of the oars you said." ”

Gunder seemed to understand something, and turned thoughtfully and walked out of the cabin.

Soon, Gander came up from the cabin below the deck with four men who were naked, with only a few pieces of linen wrapped around their waists.

The complexion of these four men was unhealthyly pale, and their bodies were extremely lean, with almost no fat under their skin, showing off their steely muscle fibers.

Their bodies seem to be strong, but their pale lips, flushed cheeks, and thinning hair tell that their bodies are in an overdraft that makes ends meet.

Gunder led the four of them to Bai Qi and asked them to kneel in front of Bai Qi.

Bai Qi glanced at the four of them, but ignored them, he turned back to Lilith and said to Barrian, "This slave girl has won my favor for her loyalty and diligence, and now I will dismiss her as a slave and grant her freedom, Priest Barrian, carry out my will." ”

Barian raised his hand, and a dark blue spell light shone on the slave mark on Lilith's neck, and the black mark quickly faded at a speed visible to the naked eye until it disappeared.

Barian took the spell light, and Lilith touched her neck excitedly and in trepidation, looking at the others with an inquiring gaze.

Gunder seemed to be able to understand Lilith's feelings, and said with a smile: "It's gone, it's completely gone." ”

Hearing this, Lily couldn't help but sit down on the ground, choking up and not holding back it anyway
