"What, is this man famous?" asked Luca. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ollie nodded helplessly.

There is no one in the Sunset Islands who does not know the name of Noah Taylor. Well, in addition to Luca, maybe Upper Nora and Daniel.

The supreme ruler of the June Alliance, Archon Noah Taylor, was not a young man. In the first half of his not short life, he was busy at sea as an ordinary businessman, but it was only in a state of "okay".

His life changed dramatically at the age of forty-five, when Taylor spent all his savings, and even borrowed a lot of usury, to buy several warships to escort his caravan.

"He must be crazy!"

"How can that little profit afford a battleship?"

That's what the other merchants of the Sunset Islands said at the time.

Soon, they discovered their short-sightedness.

At that time, no country in the Sunset Islands occupied more than three islands, and even the Brohn Empire was just an isolated island regime called the "Aurora Kingdom" at that time. It was impossible for these city-states to send troops to protect the safety of merchant ships. Whether or not the merchant ships at sea can return smoothly depends on luck, and that was probably the golden age of pirates.

Taylor's convoy fleet changed all that. A few well-trained warships easily repelled the scattered pirates on the trade routes who coveted the wealth of merchant ships. With no worries, the profits of merchant ships increased each time, and Taylor not only expanded the caravan, but also bought more warships and recruited more sailors.

At first, the other merchants were just full of envy and jealousy for his safe return again and again. Soon after, Taylor began selling his convoy fleet to other merchants.

With just a little commission, you don't have to worry about sailing!

In the years that followed, Taylor's "Golden Deer Chamber of Commerce" and "Golden Deer Convoy" became more and more famous, and almost all pirates chose to avoid ships with golden stag on these flags - an image of Covey, the god of trade and wealth, whom Taylor simply adopted as his emblem as a merchant.

Until decades later, many historians believed that it was perhaps the strength of the Golden Deer Chamber of Commerce that led to the independent pirates having to unite, which eventually led to the birth of Edward Hugh's "Venture and Investment Association", also known as the Black Sails Group.

There are also many scholars who believe that the Aurora Kingdom at that time was also inspired by Taylor's actions to form a powerful navy, which gradually developed into the current huge Second Empire of Broun.

If Taylor had known at the time that things would turn out this way, his choice would have changed.

For more than ten years after the establishment of the Golden Deer Chamber of Commerce, Taylor watched the steady stream of silver coins pouring into the warehouse every day, just as he did when he first stepped into the trade route, and stopped in place. He handed over the business to his subordinates, and he took a lot of profits with peace of mind, and lived a dreamlike secluded life.

When he woke up from his dream fifteen years later, he found that his route had been gradually encroached upon by the growing Black Sail Group and the Brohn Empire in the northwest, and almost two-thirds of the sea area was no longer within his scope of business.

That year, Taylor was sixty years old. An age where most people can retire peacefully, not to mention that he still has a huge wealth that others can't match.

But Taylor is not the majority.

Just like when he established the Golden Deer Chamber of Commerce, he regained command of the caravan and fleet with a thunderbolt. Not only that, but he also lobbied island by island in the past, and with his three-inch tongue and skillful trading skills, he let these scattered small countries join him one by one into the promised future.

No one believed he could do it, you know, this is the Sunset Islands that have been scattered for thousands of years.

However, three years later, in June 1471, at the port of Nagagetsu on Kita-Kaedejima, the June League was officially formed. Taylor's Golden Deer Escort, after joining the fresh combat power of many islands, has also been transformed into a new alliance navy, with its headquarters stationed in Jinqiao Town, South Fengge Island.

Taylor himself, at the age of sixty-three, became the supreme ruler of the entire Union.

By 1485, Lucca had crossed over, and the June Alliance was already a powerful existence on a par with the Broun Empire.

"But, what is such a person looking for me?" Lukka didn't think he could be so powerful that the entire June Alliance would look at him differently. Two ships, five people, and one bird, even if he had just killed more than a hundred ships of Black Sail, he was nothing more than a wandering independent pirate.

"I don't think there's any conspiracy. Crete said, "Noah Taylor, though he is the Archon of the June Alliance, is still a merchant after all, and he came to us in this way, and he seems to be polite, as if he wants to negotiate some business. ”

"You think it's polite to threaten me with the New Horizon?" Lukka has always had little patience for things that threaten his income, which may have some similarities with Taylor.

"Even if he is a businessman, he is the most cunning kind of businessman. Ollie also didn't like the other party's behavior, "Compared to him, the golden tooth is simply too pure and harmless." Luca, you can't be fooled!"

"I'll be vigilant. Luca has already figured out what's next.

By the time he had arranged everything, it was already the afternoon of December 10.

"Are you still going to go?Is it really useful to set up here?Can the other party be so cautious?" Ollie's face was full of worry, and he threw three questions in a row.

"Rest assured, they will come. Lukka looked confident and said as he watched the grey parrot fly in the direction of the Knights' Temple.

On the tower of the temple, the knight lord Mores held a letter from a parrot in his hand, and his face was hesitant.

Lukka not only clearly stated Noah Taylor's name in the letter, but also unilaterally informed them that the meeting place would be changed to 9 o'clock tonight, at Pier 4. What surprised Mores even more was that at the end of the letter, Luca also wrote: "Your Excellency Taylor's main axle is a little loose, and I have sent someone to repair it, so I don't need to thank you."

This routine is exactly the same as in Mores's letter.

"Looks like my old bones are going to go through again. Taylor said next to him.

Without waiting for Mores to object again, he got up from the back chair, rubbed his sore waist, and said with a smile: "You go with you, the letter has also invited you." ”

Although the old man's words were smiling, they did not mean to discuss. Reluctantly, Mores hung his sword and shield on his armor and reached out to the stairs to make a "please" gesture.

"Oh, you staircase, it's too steep!" said Taylor, walking up the stairs.

"yes, that's what people used to complain about. Mores said after him.
