Chapter 461: Arrival in the Kellerbyan Islands
The armed merchant ship of the Warrior sailed south along the coastline of the Kingdom of Britaun, arrived at Wudu via the Tym River, unloaded the large bales of wool and vats of fine iron powder loaded on the ship, purchased large quantities of black fire powder, flintlock pistols, as well as sea salt, cloth, and rum, and continued south around the windy and rough strait.

Lu Bin had asked familiar sailors and learned that the destination of this voyage was the Black Continent, preparing to land on the Gold Coast, and the captain would rely on personal friendship to exchange cheap industrial goods for indigenous slaves from the greedy chieftains.
"The New World discovered by the navigator was sheltered by the god Quetzalcoatl, who was able to summon the wind and rain and cause torrential rains that stretched for hundreds of miles and weeks. Our largest array of flintlock guns will be completely ineffective in the humid and sweltering rainforest. The natives of the New World, on the other hand, would take advantage of their familiarity with the terrain to harass us, so that the advance positions and settlements would often be completely uprooted in a rainstorm not long after they were established. ”
"However, the land of the New World is too fertile. No matter what seeds are sprinkled, no one needs to be specially tended, you can get a bumper harvest, and we will not give up. The natives of the New World revered blood sacrifice and sacrifice, and their warriors, though armed with cold weapons, were very brave, and even if the old and weak women and children were taken captive by us, they would rather die than work for us, so the plantations in the coastal marshes needed a large number of tame slaves. ”
"The natives of the Black Continent, bathed in the light of civilization, still retain the wildness of the obscurantist period, but wild beasts can be tamed into fowls, and bloodthirsty enemies will never bend their knees. In order to completely conquer the New World, black slaves were indispensable. ”
After listening to Sailor Shalke's explanation, Lu Bin nodded lightly to show his understanding, and there was no psychological burden on the slave trade, after all, this time and that time.
The characteristics of not treating NPCs as human beings gave Lu Bin a very high brutality value, so that when the armed merchant ship of the Warrior successfully arrived on the Gold Coast of the Black Continent, he did not blink an eye when he exchanged high-quality and cheap woolen cloth, unrefined coarse sea salt and bottled rum from the local indigenous chiefs for a large number of black slaves.
The sailors drove the goods bound with their hands into the bilge like cattle, fed only coarse rice and stinking fresh water mixed with wine every day, and threw the sick into the sea to feed the fish, and even brought most of the more than 800 slaves to the Celebine Islands in the south of the New World.
When Lu Bin's crew stepped on a small island full of plantations, they immediately felt the pervasive malice, deep in the yellow-brown sand, and if they squinted their eyes carefully, they would see the remains of the natives of the New World below, whose flesh and blood had been corrupted and continued to nourish the land.
"I roughly calculated the number, more than 10,000 bones piled up on top of each other, almost all the natives on the island were killed, so that a plantation could be built on their corpses, no wonder there was a good harvest every year, and there was a lot of fertilizer underneath. ”
The governor of the Britaen Kingdom is the largest plantation owner here, and I have to say that he has a little power in his hands, and he can always reap a lot of benefits for himself in the land far away from the Emperor of the Heavenly High.
Eight hundred sturdy black slaves, most of whom were taken by the local governor, and of course the armed merchant ship of the Warrior did not suffer, and the bilges were cleaned and loaded with large quantities of high-quality cane sugar and fine tobacco, a hobby of the magnates of the kingdom of Briten, which became increasingly popular in high society due to the refreshing effect of tobacco, and became a new fashion trend that swept the countries of Europa.
The captain, who had not been seen for a long time, finally appeared in the eyes of many sailors, and the invitation of the local governor made it possible for even the owner of the Warrior's armed merchant ship to give face.
However, when the captain appeared, Lu Bin keenly discovered that there were several abnormal breaths hidden in his body, not only the dark magic as deep as night, but also the faint blood-colored divine grace, and the curse technique of the Book of the Dead.
"It is incredible that he has the power of demons, the gifts of the gods, and the ability to use evil ancient magic, and that different power systems are compatible. In the current era, even a part-time pirate captain has to have extraordinary strength, how can ordinary people get ahead?"
After accepting the invitation, the captain of the Warrior prepared to attend a dinner at the Governor's Palace, knowing that the crew had nowhere to vent on the vast sea, and had been holding back for more than a month, he immediately distributed the bounty and reward.
The sailors, whose eyes were red, screamed and pounced on the nearby docks and taverns, forcibly stuffed the money that had just arrived and had not yet been heated into the hands of the bartenders and waiters, drank cold rum with their shirts open, or hugged the rough-skinned warblers blown by the sea breeze, and couldn't wait to come to the hall.
Every time a merchant ship arrives, the port economic circle will be lively for a while, warmly welcoming the bold guests who spend a lot of money, and the calm docks are full of sailors crying wolves, tossing and turning in various taverns and inns.
Lu Bin casually walked through this chaotic place, his eyes locked on the church where the spiritual light was hidden, and the bones under the island, the resentment and negative energy that bred were as thick as substance, but they were suppressed by the divine light emitted by the church.
"Strange! Isn't that Highness already asleep? How can there be such a strong holy light? Am I dazzled and mistaken?"
Lu Bin, who was alone, approached the Gothic-style church, and the sharp spire pierced the sky, giving people an aggressive feeling.
It just so happened that the choir's chants came out of it, all of which were young children's voices, and because the songs were not mixed with too many adult emotions, they seemed exceptionally clear and ethereal.
Lu Bin squinted his eyes and vaguely saw the resonance effect caused by the chant, producing a large number of holy light particles, like a fountain rising into the sky and integrating into the building of the church, adding a little more to the original strong spiritual light.
"It's not easy! Don't look at the small increment, it is also a very considerable income over time. In particular, the formation of an aura similar to that of the Holy Abode, with the effects of anti-evil and anti-chaos circles, combined with three Masses a day on six days a week, not only strengthens the faith of believers, but also forms a virtuous circle. The Millennium Holy See is indeed full of talents, and it should not be underestimated!"
There is no mirror image clone carrying any external force, only a shallow source of spell casting, so after entering the church, the holy water platform at the door, with its own warning line to detect divine magic, is as expected to have no response.
The bright sunlight shone through the skylight in the church, and Lu Bin couldn't help but sigh when he saw the choir dressed in white, bathed in the sunshine, holy as angels.
Due to the lack of faith, the fountain of holy light caused by the choir fell from the dome of the church, and it did not let Lu Bin share much. Such a vision immediately caught the priest's attention, but at first glance, the member of the church who was presiding over the ceremony, although he frowned, did not take it to heart.
"A pirate!"
A pirate with bloody hands and sin flowing through his body will not enter the church, at least not at a young age. They usually enjoy life long enough before they regret it when they can't go to sea. When they have no money to spare, they are getting worse and worse, and they are not dead when they are old. These old pirates would bow their knees before the throne of God in fear of death, weeping and repenting in the hope of forgiveness and redemption.
"A young pirate, unstained with blood and sin, unrepelled by the Holy Water Terrace, may be a pawn to be used. ”
The pastor who presided over this place was also an ambitious person, and after thinking about it, he found that Lu Bin, who walked into the church, was the key to solving his troubles.
When the pastor was distracted, the usual melodious hymns were no longer attractive, and the choir boy no longer looked good-looking.
He immediately tilted his head and whispered to the priest to invite the young man in pirate costume to wait in the courtyard behind the church.
When Lu Bin saw the movement of the clergy of the church, he immediately understood that he was being targeted, but he had not yet found the reason, so he did not resist, and let the young priest lead the way in front and enter a small building through the side door.
It didn't take long for the choir's chants to come to an abrupt halt, and the fountain of holy light slowly subsided. Lu Bin was not impatient, and after a quarter of an hour, he saw the pastor of the church walk in excitedly.
The priest, who called himself Vitwich, did not make the slightest attempt to hide his intentions, and asked directly: "I want to ask you for a favor. How much, just ask!"
Lu Bin was stunned for a moment, and then showed a faint smile, he became interested in this person.
I am not a mortal who is poor and luxury, addicted to wine, I also have my own pursuits, my own goals in life. Your Excellency Vitwich, tell me what happened before I say yes, so that you can ask outsiders for help.
