Chapter 367: The World Through the Captain's Eyes
"Brother Glenn, if we're pretty much ready, then we're leaving!" said the drunken captain to Sogers in his naturally loud voice, on the ship where Sorgeth was on.
"I'm ready to go, Captain Ino!" Captain Ino nodded, and shouted in a loud voice, "Little cubs!"
Captain Eno seems to appreciate this polite guest, and likes to come to Sojers for a drink when he has something to do, and Sojers certainly doesn't refuse to come, although his alcohol consumption is not very good, but it is not bad, and the most important thing is that he generally does not lose face.
"Little brother Glenn, listen to my words, the world is not easy to mix now, although it is possible to make a lot of money by taking risks, but this is also in exchange for life, don't go against the wind in recent times, it's too dangerous!"
"What do you mean by that?"
Being in a different place, Sorjes didn't drink as unrestrained as he did when he was at home, he felt that he was about to reach his limit and stopped drinking, and now his mind was quite clear, and after hearing this, he wanted to find out some of the current situation, maybe some places could still notify Will and tell them to take some precautions.
"Hey, you kid, strong is strong, but your experience is more than a big difference compared to my brother!" Eno said a little smugly, and then changed his words: "Now that the contradictions of the major empires have been put on the table, you should know this, right?" "Well, of course!" Sojes nodded, "Then do you know that the contradictions have intensified, but there has been no movement except for the last joint war of the six countries?"
"It's not clear. Sojes said honestly, although he was a little guessing, he still felt a little nonsense.
"Well, it's not your reason that you don't know, in fact, it's that the six empires are now preparing to attack the white land in various sea areas, and you should also know that the white land in the world is either an area that has not been discovered at all, or an island controlled by pirates, I say so, do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand, but it's really worth the loss to do this, some white land is a dangerous place to hold important shipping routes, and there is still value to capture, but more of it is the kind of inconsequential white land scattered in various seas, which is a little undrawable, right?"
"You kid is quite knowledgeable!" Ino praised, but then sneered, "It's a pity that you haven't seen far enough!"
Sojers wasn't angry, Ino was probably a few years older than Bagas, and the experience he had at such an age was not comparable to his own.
"How?" asked Sorges.
"Hehe, if you dry this bottle of wine, I'll tell you!" Ino smiled, and Sojes didn't refuse, he had been resting for a while, and it was okay to drink another bottle, so without saying a word, he grabbed the bottle of rum that Ino handed him and poured it in.
"Okay, refreshed!" Ino slapped his face, this time he didn't sell it again, but said pointedly: "What do you think, what is the most important factor for a country, well, or a force to develop?" "Resources!"
"That's good!" Ino nodded in agreement, "So, since resources are so important, how do you use them?" "Are you trying to tell me......" Sojes guessed a possibility, but he wasn't quite sure. "Hehe, to put it bluntly, it's not a big deal, why is there such a big gap between the kingdom and the empire? Let's take the Fran Empire, which is hostile to us, they were a kingdom a few decades ago, compared to those other kingdoms in the Holy Beast Sea, the resources of the Flange are not dominant, but they know how to use the limited resources more efficiently, so the Flange has become an empire that is on a par with our Fiana today!"
Eno is an authentic Fiana, although he speaks the lingua franca, but the thick accent still reveals his identity, but, although it is true that he is a Fiana, he has a high opinion of Fran, and there is no disdain for Fran in his words and his own condescension as a member of Fiana.
His words are very clear, the empire now has a lot of resources, but what is lacking is the way to use the resources, just like now the six empires have begun to reserve military forces, if they want to win from it, then the speed of the reserve is one of the keys to victory or defeat, and the factor that determines the speed of the reserve is the number of military bases in each country, where do these military bases come from?
God forbid...... Luckily, I came from the Brostein family...... Sogers has also thought about these questions, but he has never studied them in depth, after all, with his background and the connection with the French Empire, he doesn't need to worry too much about the safety of the base, and many times if other forces dare to invade Rainbow Island, those navies belonging to the Brustein family will even come to the rescue, and as a pirate, Sogers can be completely proud......
"Not only pirates, but also the various trading houses, are not so easy to mix now......" As he spoke, Ino sighed again, as if venting, and lifted the bottle again, and then exhaled comfortably.
"What?" said Sorgeth, who could have been put to good use if he had told Lockhan.
"What else? There is going to be a war, of course the various comptoirs have to pay more commercial taxes, and there are all kinds of donations in various names, you see that the dozen or so ships of our comptoir are quite majestic, right? But this is the first time we have come to the Isle of Freedom! It's the first time!" Ino shouted, as if to vent his dissatisfaction.
"Is it to save costs?" "Sojes is not stupid, knowing that this comptoir may be the same as the Mondoch comptoir, with a batch of rare but not popular items in his hands that are afraid of being sold off, so he came to the Isle of Liberty to try his luck, it seems that his luck is good, and he should have sold the things before choosing to return.
"Yes, before coming here, we reached an agreement with the Empire, and our trading house will sell a batch of grain and daily necessities here at wholesale prices, and pay on delivery, otherwise you will have to run empty just to sell things here, and you will not have to pay out all your underwear?"
"Brother, listen to me, it's too dangerous to go to sea now, if you want to take risks, the huge empire is full of places worth exploring, are you afraid that there is nowhere to go?" Ino is really enthusiastic, his concern for Sojath is completely from the heart, although I don't understand why he is like this to himself, but Sojes still feels warm in his heart, and he also accepts him.
"Brother, I can take care of it myself, I have a last resort reason for going to sea this time, and when the matter is done, I will find a place to recuperate honestly, and then make plans when it calms down. "Sojes is telling the truth, when he gets his hands on the Cursed Black Diamond, it's time for him to do penance at Shiva, how can he have the time to run around?
"That's right, come, do it!" Ino laughed, stretched out his big hand to the side, grabbed a bottle of wine and threw it to Sojes, Sojes was helpless, "Still drinking?" "Of course! I'm happy today, brother, do you dare not give face?" Ino glared at him, and it seemed that he had drunk too much.
"How dare I!
"Okay, happy!"
......
I don't know what Ino's stomach is made of, there are just two people in total, and they actually drank a full three cases of rum, three-quarters of which Ino killed himself, and Sojes, who only drank a quarter, has solved several life events back and forth, and this guy didn't even have a bulging stomach, could it be that he urinated on the spot?
Sojes was already a little drunk, the two of them were blowing nonsense everywhere, drinking at this time, no matter how much Ren Yino persuaded him to drink, Sojes was also killed and couldn't drink, he was also afraid that he would accidentally give his identity out after drinking too much, if a pirate leader of the French Empire was found in Fiana's fleet, it would be light to be killed!
"Brother Eno, I'll go outside to blow the wind, you wait for me first...... Huh?" was about to go out to get some air, only to find Ino drunk on the floor after drinking the last bottle of wine, and Sojath was dumbfounded and a little crying and laughing.
Anyway, he also persuaded himself from the heart, and Sojes didn't want him to lie on the floor like this, with his strength, he only needed one hand to lift this big man weighing about 200 pounds, and put it on the bed after lifting, and pulled a quilt to wrap it around him!
It is better for this guy to fall asleep, so as not to be dragged by him to drink again for a while. Sojes thought so, staggered towards the deck along the way, many people on the ship also recognized him, knew that he was a guest on the ship, and also knew his identity as a "third-order" swordsman, after seeing him, he did not lose his courtesy, Sojes also smiled and returned the salute, and explained that he was just going to blow the wind, and had no other meaning.
Standing alone on the deck, the sailors around him did not bother him, but went to patrol elsewhere very familiarly, Sojes quietly enjoyed the sea breeze, and a little drunkenness was slowly dissipating, it was now late at night, thinking of the current time, Sojes couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
"This brother Ino is really addicted, he drank from the afternoon until midnight, did he use wine as a meal?" "Sojes didn't forget, Ino hasn't eaten since he pulled him to drink in the afternoon, he has been drinking from beginning to end, he has eaten a lot of snacks, but Ino hasn't eaten anything!
Rubbing his aching head, Sorjes was about to go back to rest, but just as he turned around, a voice suddenly sounded, making him completely lose his drunkenness.
"Boy, you are so leisurely, you dare to drink so much wine on an outsider's ship, are you too long?"
The voice...... Could it be ......
Sojers looked left and right, but found no one around, and at the same time, he noticed that except for himself, the patrolling sailors around him didn't seem to hear the sound, as if it was only for himself.
Either he hallucinated, or this person, like Tang Meng, had the ability to transmit sound into secrets.
"Don't look for it, I'm here!"
When Sojes was suspicious, there was suddenly an extra figure behind him, and this person was none other than Sojes's cheap brother-in-law, the Sword Emperor, Shiva!
"Brother-in-law, why are you here?" Sorges didn't cry out, but luckily he reacted quickly enough to keep his voice very low, otherwise it would have been easy to alarm others.
"Well, there are some things, so I arrived on Liberty Island a few days ago, which is a coincidence, I was about to take a hitchhiker, but I didn't expect you to be on this boat too!"
It was a coincidence that Shiva, like Sojes, hated Fia, but the two were on the same ship from the Fiana Empire at the same time.
"You should be able to fly, right? Why do you need a boat?" Thorjes wondered.
"It's too eye-catching to fly to the Alonso Empire, and it's more convenient to move like this. Shiva said in a flat tone something that made people uneasy.
The corners of Sorges's mouth twitched, Shiva was a terrorist in the truest sense of the word.
By the way, since my brother-in-law is here, then ......
Suddenly thinking of something, Sojes lowered his voice and said, "Brother-in-law, I have already got two of the three things you said, and I am just ...... away" "It's just the Black Diamond of the Curse World, right? You kid did a pretty good job, even I didn't expect you to be able to find the Dream Crystal and the Hell Root Yin Iron so quickly!" Shiva also praised Sogers a few rare words, in fact, he still has some words to say, the purpose of his going to the Alonso Empire is actually to secretly protect Sogers, don't look at the fact that he let Sogers go out to practice so undeniably beaked, but after all, this is his brother-in-law, whether it is from the perspective of his deceased wife or his own inner thoughts, he doesn't want Sogers to be in danger, but these words can't be said to Sogers, otherwise it won't be good for his experience.
Without asking him how he could have guessed such idiotic questions, Sojes nodded and said, "I'll give you the things now, so I don't have to bring some useless weights to the Alonso Empire when the time comes." "It's okay, by the way, you can go directly to the wasteland when the time comes, and I heard that the cursed black diamond only appears in a place called the 'wasteland' in the Alonso Empire. ”
"Wasteland?" Sojes, who was about to turn away, stopped, and Shiva continued to force the sound into his ear by means of transmission: "Keep walking, don't stop, I'll follow your breath to find you, don't let the people on the ship think we know each other." ”
