Chapter 65: Prosperity in the Twilight

Twilight is located a little southwest of the central Sunset Islands, and the Silent Death isn't too far away, and with the sea breeze and currents, it can take up to ten days to get there. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

For the first seven days, the sea was calm, but I saw a few merchant ships from afar, and the pirate ship with black sails did not encounter a single one.

"I can't live this day! I knew I was going to study the prophecy spells first!" Lukka sighed as he opened the empty cash box for the twenty-fourth day.

His luck was not at its best, and early on the morning of the eighth day, a pirate ship that seemed to be in good spirits entered Crete's field of vision.

Cretan's eyes can't see farther than the average person. On the contrary, he is even a little short-sighted.

However, anything that came into view, even if it was obscured by something like sea fog, he could tell its appearance and even its essence without difficulty.

The current pirate ship, although the ship type is a two-masted fast ship commonly used by black sails, but the speed is only about 6 knots, it should be fully loaded with cargo, and the draft is extremely deep, so it is a target worth grabbing at a glance.

Crete turned and shook the bell, which Lukka had asked Daniel to make after returning from the Knights' Temple. The ship was indeed too big, and the sound of the bells was not small, and the Silent Reaper said goodbye to the era of "communication was basically based on roaring".

Lukka rubbed his eyes and walked out, took the telescope of Crete and jumped up when he saw it, ignoring the fact that he hadn't brushed his teeth and washed his face, and urged Daniel all the way to the "fat sheep".

In their eyes, it is a fat sheep, and in the eyes of merchant ships, it is probably a "hungry wolf".

Whether it was a sheep or a wolf, it might be an exaggeration to say that they were completely powerless to resist in front of the Silent Death, after all, they still sent out a round of shelling, although all the shells fell into the sea. The gap in range cannot be bridged by recklessness.

As in previous operations, Crete and Nora lined up on the Silent Death for a few rounds of bombardment, and after the white flag was raised, Luka, Ollie, and Daniel boarded the Peregrine Falcon.

Beating people, tying people up, moving things. By the way, the sails and rudders were slightly broken.

The ship made Luca laugh from ear to ear. Although the cash box in the captain's cabin was as empty as ever, the bilge was full. The pirates on board were also too greedy, and the cargo they had stolen had obviously exceeded the optimal carrying capacity of their own ship, and they had turned a nimble brig into a big fat man who could gasp in two steps.

After priing open a few boxes and checking them, Lukka laughed out loud.

Tobacco, pepper, and furs, these are expensive goods, and at this amount are estimated to be worth tens of thousands of silver coins, perhaps more.

As long as you can sell the goods.

"As long as you can sell the goods!" Lukka said, pointing to the location of Twilight Island on the chart.

Twilight is the only town on Twilight Island, otherwise the two would not have the same name. The town has more than one pier, and Luca studied the map and decided to disembark at the most remote southwestern pier.

As before, the Silent Death was still on standby in the open sea, and everyone went ashore on the Peregrine Falcon.

Now, using a disguise or something like that isn't a burden on Luka. For the sake of insurance, maybe it was to show off his skills, he simply combined the disguise technique to expand the range, and gave everyone a collective transformation, and even the Peregrine Falcon became an inconspicuous ordinary merchant ship.

The effect is reasonable, at least it doesn't turn Ollie into a muscular man.

Walking down the street at dusk, Luca was a little dizzy at the town in front of him, and since arriving in the Sunset Islands, he had seen almost the same towns and ports as he had in his image of a medieval town: potholed dirt streets, dilapidated buildings that could not be seen in color, and crowded and noisy taverns, which were his standard impressions of the place. Even a tourist area like Port Layton is just a little more spacious and clean than other ports.

But now the town in front of him, the degree of prosperity made Luca dumbfounded.

The façade of the street-side building is not only clean, but also painted in a variety of bright colors, with wooden window frames and spotless glass windows emitting a warm yellow light. But that's not the point, the point is that these streets are all more than three stories tall!

You know, building a building is not low, otherwise the towers in the Sea Knight Temple would not be so famous. Most of the archipelago's architects would rather dig a basement a few meters below the house than add an extra layer on the roof. It's not that I don't want to build buildings, it's just that the popular building materials in the Sunset Islands are basically mud and wood, and under the erosion of the sea breeze for many years, it is actually a very dangerous thing to build high-rise buildings with such materials.

Like a knight's temple or a nobleman's castle, granite or marble can be used to build a house high, but the price is not affordable for ordinary people.

Is this made of stone?, Luca thought, walked over to a four-story building, reached out and scratched at the wall, it was a brick wall!

Before he could appreciate the advanced building materials here, he was glared back by the residents in the window next to him.

"Do you know the address of the Golden Fang?" Lukka asked Ollie, who might have run out to find him if he didn't hurry up, and he had ripped off a chunk of the red wall.

"You know, he bought a shop here last year, and across this residential area, the third street in front of the commercial district is. Ollie said as she led the way.

Entering the business district, Lucca and Crete get busy. The constant dessert shops on the street slowed Nora's pace more and more, and at last it was almost necessary for Crete to drag forward. Lukka had no choice but to be ruthless and borrow money from Ollie to buy her a lollipop, which was only possible to regain his speed.

No sooner had Nora been appeased, Daniel was gone. After several laps, Lukka pulled him up from a booth with a sign that read "Wrist Wrestling Contest".

"Don't you know how to count? The registration fee is 20 silver coins, 3 silver coins for each win, a total of 5 rounds, no matter how you win, you will lose money, okay?" said Luca, wiping the sweat from his head.

"I just want to spend some money and move my muscles. Daniel was right.

"Let's go, there's a chance to move the boxes later!" Lukka pushed him from behind, and finally stumbled to the address Ollie had said.

"Doesn't look like much business......" Ollie said as she stood in the doorway, pushing open the door of the shop.

In the not very bright room, the exaggerated voice of the golden tooth sounded: "Welcome! What do you want? From tables, chairs, and beds to a needle, our store has everything!"
