Chapter 20: The Pirate City

In many cases, disasters are often opportunities, and the Hope was able to escape the pursuit of the War Scorpion Pirates with the influence of the tornado, and finally reached the outskirts of the Pirate City five days later. And just on the periphery, the huge fortress shrouded in perennial natural black fog still gives people a mysterious but not eerie feeling.

It is worthy of being known as the gathering place of evil, and there is often a popular saying on the sea: if the nine seas are the battlefields where pirates gallop, then the pirate city is the last bulwark of pirates, and the only home where pirates can relax their spirits.

More than 300 years ago, Lidas the leader of the Fanged Pirates occupied this sea area, and with the powerful defense of the S-class magic battleship - the Dreadnought Dragon Armor, and Lidas overlooked the world, he established this easy-to-defend pirate city from scratch on this lost island in the Sea of Sin.

There are no navies, no taxes, and most importantly, there are no battles, and if it weren't for the lawless pirates who live here, then this pirate paradise might be a paradise for everyone.

Everyone knows that using force here is tantamount to seeking death, and Lidas, who has tens of thousands of subordinates, is the enforcer of the law in this pirate city, and anyone who dares to use force here will be regarded as a provocation to the fanged pirates.

There are many defense methods in the pirate city, the most obvious of which is the natural black mist, although it will not do any harm to the creatures, but it will also greatly reduce the visibility of the surrounding sea, plus the area is already full of reefs, if you don't know the correct path in this vicinity or the navigation skills are not up to par, then the end can only be shipwrecked and people killed.

Old Weibull is worthy of being an old bird on the sea, under his guidance, everyone is as relaxed as an outing, and Sojes finally has the leisure to ask this and that at this time: "I said old Weibull, I have seen the black fog and reefs in the outer defenses, so what is new about the others?"

For this curious regiment leader, Weibull can be regarded as knowing everything: "Commander, you look at the nearby sea water, do you feel anything different?"

"Don't be impulsive, Commander! There are giant bone rockfish living on the bottom of the sea near here, and they will not be alarmed if a boat passes by, but as long as they attack, they will immediately enter the battle state!"

Giant Bone Rock Fish: A second-order sea monster, about 4 meters long and weighing about half a ton, characterized by a very high bone density, although it swims slowly but has a very strong force, the full force caused by the tail can shatter the rocks on the bottom of the sea, and at the same time, it can also use the reaction force to collide, which can cause great damage to the ship.

After listening to Weibull's introduction, Sorjes finally didn't dare to act recklessly, and quietly listened to Weibull's introduction.

Seeing that the regiment commander was quiet, Weibull was also relieved, the periphery of the pirate city basically relied on natural defenses, even when he was young, he didn't have the confidence to resist head-on, not to mention that Sojes was only a third-order swordsman now.

As the Hope moved slowly, it got closer and closer to the entrance to the Pirate City, and this was the most dangerous place on the periphery, and the last natural barrier- The Nine Spirit Siren, said to be the first deputy head of Lidas, died in a battle with the Imperial Navy, and became a Siren because of his obsession after his death, because he had a doppelganger ability before his death, so there are often pirates who don't understand the rules or a navy will see a lot of identical Sirens launching a fierce attack on it, each Siren has at least seventh-order abilities, and it is unknown how many doppelgangers its body can incarnate.

The voyage slowly came to an end in Weibull's introduction, passing through the main range of activities of the Nine Spirit Siren, and there was no more reef in front of them, and the already exhausted people went to rest under the orders of Sogers, leaving only two officers on duty to take charge of the reconnaissance operation.

After entering the outer waters and sailing for two more days, he finally arrived at the entrance of the Pirate City, and this entrance alone shocked Sojes, who was accustomed to seeing splendid buildings in the imperial capital, the Hope was already a large ship, but this entrance could allow at least dozens of such ships to pass side by side.

Old Weibull chose the entrance to the east, because the east is close to the sea of chaos, so there are few ships passing here, and when they just entered the door, an eagle man flew over, according to Weibull, this is the doorman of the pirate city, and the person responsible for issuing temporary identity cards, with this certificate, each pirate who comes can park the ship in an exclusive area, no one can know where the ship is parked except the captain himself, and when leaving, just give the certificate to the person in charge of safekeeping.

With its high force and meticulous rules, it's no wonder it's the only home for pirates.

After parking the boat and docking, the group finally entered the main road in the city, which was more prosperous than the Great Empire, and the races that were usually rare to see were not uncommon here, and even the mermaid clan who turned their fish tails into legs saw one.

Seeing the glamorous mermaid, a group of pirates who had just shared the spoils of the dishes were suddenly like bulls in estrus, and Bode grabbed Sogers' hand and said in a pleading tone: "Commander, now that you are safe, see if you can ......" said, looking at the mermaid who had not left the line of sight with pitiful eyes.

Sogers was only sixteen years old, and he didn't quite understand the meaning in Bode's eyes, and finally Cervantes whispered the answer in his ear, which made the somewhat embarrassed Sogers announce the disbandment.

This order made the Dragon's Tooth Pirate Group completely happy, but fortunately, the assembly location had been set before disembarking, otherwise it was estimated that it would take a year and a half to find their leader. But even so, the three people who remained in place deeply doubted that this group of souls would be able to remember the original meeting place after tonight.

The good leisure time turned into a collective Piao prostitute, and the only thing left in the original team was the underage Sojes, the self-righteous elf, and the weak old Weibull, and the three of them decided to go to the dockyard to buy a boat without thinking of any ideas to pass the time.

Speaking of which, the ordinary ship technology of the pirate city is not under any empire, but the manufacturing level of the magic ship and the magic warship is obviously much inferior, after all, the latter is relying on a long period of precipitation, constantly injecting young magic costume technicians and constantly developing new technologies, and although the pirate city has the conditions for cultivating magic costume technicians, but the people who settle here and marry and have children are far less than the empire after all, and people with this talent are even rarer。

Fortunately, the Dragon's Tooth Pirate Regiment can only afford ordinary ships in their pockets, and because there is no need to levy taxes, the price of battleships is generally about 10% lower than that of the Empire, and there are experts in the dockyard who evaluate the value of jewelry, so they can barter for the same amount under the premise that there are not enough gold coins.

The basic price of a battleship is about 6,000 gold coins, the price of the pirate city is 5,300 gold coins, and each battleship comes with fifteen guns, which is said to be not high, but the Dragon Tooth Pirate Regiment only has about 7,000 gold coins left in its hands after the previous distribution of the spoils, plus Sogers's own private treasury is only 10,000, and Sogers, who wanted to buy two battleships, had to replace the other one with a brig galleys, and after all the handovers were completed, the activity funds of the Dragon's Tooth Pirate Regiment were only more than 2,000.

It is no wonder that pirates who originally wanted to explore wholeheartedly had to choose robbery in the end, and coins are indeed something that cannot be saved, perhaps a generation of economists is right: only liquid wealth can produce value.
