After taking over the Black Sails Pirates, Kenan had a homegrown presence in Negan. His information network in Negan has gradually become more normal, and it is no longer a situation of being blinded by two eyes.

During this period, he found a few veins of Mithril in several regions where there were no powerful beings (no gold-level powerhouses), although they were not large, but the purity was very high, so Kenan made a few more steel golems and began to dig underground.

During this time, Kenan also took the time to use the teleportation array to return to his own territory, Sharpster.

This territory under his name was still thriving under the rule of Rodhart, although many foreign trade routes were affected due to the overall situation on the mainland, but the trade routes within the territory were relatively smooth. Coupled with Sharpster's special economic structure, the turbulent continental situation did not have a particularly serious impact on Sharpster.

Only the drunkards who often soak in the tavern will complain that the price of ale from the south is more expensive.

Kenan briefly showed up at the City Lord's Mansion to understand the situation, and then returned to his wizarding tower. At this time, Jamila's spiritual power has reached the peak of a third-level wizard apprentice with the assistance of many resources, and as long as she consolidates one or two, she can be promoted to the realm of a full-fledged wizard.

This made Kennan very happy. Jamila was his first official disciple, so Kenan was very concerned about her cultivation progress. At such a tight moment, half a day was set aside as a time to answer questions, focusing on answering the questions encountered by Jamila during this time.

Of course, this solution is limited to basic and critical knowledge. As for the broader associations and reflections, it is up to Jamila to analyze, summarize, and seek answers for herself. This is the process that every wizard goes through.

The biggest difference between wizards and other cultivators is that wizards are not superstitious about the exercises and spells left by their predecessors, they like to study their own things on the basis of their predecessors, so that they can see farther than their predecessors.

Perhaps this is an important reason why wizards were able to rise quickly after the end of the Golden Age and create their own Jade Age.

After finishing Bracada's chores, Kenan was urgently called back by Tima using the communication circle on the Holy Radiance.

As soon as Kenan stepped out of the teleportation array, he saw Tima and Nina standing with their hands tied.

"What's going on, so urgent?" said Kenan, who casually took off his cloak and tossed it to Nina and walked towards the study.

"There was indeed a very important thing that happened, and my subordinates did not dare to make the decision, so they had to ask my lord to come up with ideas. Tima didn't dare to be verbose, and directly told what happened.

It turned out that after Kennan took over the Black Sail Pirates, he didn't interfere too much with their usual behavior, but only ordered them to strengthen their usual sea patrols and strengthen the collection of intelligence.

At the very least, if something big is happening in the Negan area, he has to be the first to know.

Kennan's idea was well carried out by Tima. As a result, the Blacksail Pirates not only expanded their hunting range, but also moved much more frequently than before.

It is precisely because of this that they encounter a strange thing that was impossible to discover before.

This morning, a pirate ship belonging to the Black Sail Pirates was patrolling a newly arrived sea area when they were suddenly trapped by the sudden rise of the sea fog.

At first, the captain of the pirate ship thought that he had mistaken the caravan's fleet for a warship. To make sure, he climbed up to the lookout himself, took out his binoculars and looked into the distance, and found that the flotilla was indeed a team of four-masted sail battleships.

Tall watchtowers were built on top of the tall hull - that was the mage's place. With the exception of the ships of Bracada, ships from other countries do not make this structure at all. The white sails are emblazoned with the golden fleur-de-lis that represent Bracada.

By all indications, the opposite flotilla was indeed a flotilla of warships. Judging by the course of the ship, the opponent's target was Negan.

Fortunately, the pirate ship was far away from the fleet, and was located at the rear of the fleet, and on the edge of the sea fog, in a direction that was not taken seriously in the field of view, so the ship was not discovered.

The captain followed the captain for a long distance, and found that the other party's organization was very tight, in addition to the big ship, there were many small boats cruising around the big ship, and it was very likely to be discovered if they were close to the reconnaissance, so they quietly retreated back after getting out of the sea fog area. It took a circle to come back and report.

Kenan frowned and thought for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Do you have charts of the nearby area, or can you find out where the Bracada fleet landed?" ”

After hearing this, Tima hurriedly searched the bookshelves, and then took out seven or eight charts and maps of the nearby area.

When Kennan unfolded the charts and maps, he found that they were fine as works of art for decoration, but if they were used as accurate charts, they would definitely be dead. Because of the poor level of cartographing, the proportions of the various regions are distorted, and many of the locations are highly likely to be wrong. There are several contradictions in the charts that Tima has produced.

But fortunately, these problems are not too big, and there are corrected annotations on the drawings, so you can still see a rough idea of a few drawings and make do with them.

Kennan asked the captain to map the location of the Bracada fleet and the course of the ships.

Kennan scrutinized it for a moment, then pointed to an area along Negan's shore and said, "What is this place?" What is the distribution of forces in this area, is there anything special about it?"

Tima stared at the map for a moment and said, "It's the Gold Coast, because it's close to the mainland, and it's a natural deep-water bay where many large ships from the mainland dock. It was there that the first grain and supplies were traded, and over time that place became known as the Gold Coast, and no one knows what it was originally called. ”

Tima paused for a moment and then continued, "There are two major forces in that area, one is the hero of the Minotaur clan, the Minotaur Alliance formed by Days, this organization is composed of dozens of Minotaur tribes, and there are tens of thousands of elite Minotaur warriors in it, and their strength cannot be underestimated. As for the other faction, the Harpy Monica united humans, the Dark Elves, and the Naga in an organization called the Golden Council. Trying to fight the Minotaur Alliance.

Although, on the whole, the overall strength of the Golden Council is relatively high, however, due to its internal contradictions, it is difficult to organize it to carry out a decisive attack on the Minotaur Alliance. As for the Minotaur Alliance, due to the lack of high-end strength, it can only rely on the combined power and the Golden Council to maneuver. Therefore, at present, the two major organizations are half a pound and eight taels, and each has controlled half of the business on the Gold Coast, and there is nothing to do with each other for the time being. ”

"Oh, do you think they have the opportunity and motivation to join Bracada?"

"It's not very likely, first of all, Bracada's xenophobia is very serious, and the Minotaur Alliance is impossible from this point. Although there are humans in the Golden Council, humans are not dominant, and many of these humans are exiled nobles who have failed to seize the throne. They will not cooperate with Bracada either, they are afraid that after cooperating today, Bracada will betray themselves to the corresponding nobles tomorrow. Bracada has done this kind of thing twice, so that now none of the humans living in Negan are willing to do business with the Bracadas. Especially official contacts. ”

"My lord, do you think they sent an army to conquer Negan?"

"It's unlikely, because there aren't enough troops. Even if they sent the mage regiment over, it would only be to occupy some more chassis, and it was still far from conquering Negan. ”

"My lord, do you want me to shoot some people to watch? ”

"No," Kennan waved his hand, "this matter is full of strangeness, I think the other party's actions must be very cautious, the people you send may not be able to find out anything, this time I will go in person." Let's see what tricks they have. ”[.]
