"It's the 20th of the month of Thanksgiving (October), which means that this letter was sent to the Storm Sea Royal Court more than a month ago, and it's almost 1-2 days away from the month and a half that Arutcheth said!"

Elivan's face changed slightly, although he was still worried about not knowing about the convoy that destroyed the council just now, but now he began to worry about the inadequacy of his side, he thought about it, walked back to the table, reached out and knocked on the table, so that the voices of the heated discussion were paused,

"Putini, have you ever heard of the name Anderson Fried?"

"Anderson? A lot of people I know are called Anderson!"

Putini said happily, but he quickly frowned, "Anderson Fried, why is this name so familiar?

Hearing Putini's question, the sea snake, which had been silently drinking orange juice, lowered his head and thought for a while before nodding and replying,

"Well, the captain of the Northland Queen, a fanatical believer in the goddess of the seas, and a well-known troubadour in the South Seas, one of the elders of the Pirate Guild, but five years ago he took his famous three-masted battleship, the Northland Queen, during an adventure in the northern waters, and the Pirate Guild issued an obituary especially for him. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"You mean, he's dead?"

There was a strange expression on Elivan's face, but the sea snake shook his head and continued to speak in his rather hoarse voice,

Although most of the pirates were frantically searching for the treasure left by Anderson Fried, who is said to be the famous "Northland Pirates", there are other wise fellows who conclude that Anderson did not die just now, in fact, if you study the autobiographies left by those famous pirates, you will find that it is a normal choice for an old pirate to fake his death and come back to life with a different identity, especially for a "pirate king" like Anderson, who has been on the sea for decades"For the same character, leaving himself a few back roads, that is definitely his style, maybe Mr. Anderson is now incarnating the real power of a small country, enjoying wealth in his own estate, if he is lucky enough, he doesn't even have to change his name. ”

Hearing the faint murmur of the sea snake, Elivan smiled bitterly and put the letter in his hand on the table,

"I've got a rough idea of what this letter is about, and I think there's a good chance you'll meet this old friend this time, Sea Serpent, you're right, Mr. Anderson-Fried is now a noble Earl, but unfortunately he chose to carry out his evil deeds on the sea, but this time he chose a more powerful backer than the Pirate Guild, and it seems that he is connected with the villains of the lower realms. ”

Elivan paused, and said meaningfully to the pirate trio,

"I hope your seamanship skills are not too bad compared to your predecessors, there may only be one chance for an ambush on the sea, once they escape into Bay City, under the watchful eyes of Lord Tedda, it will be really difficult for us to do anything. ”

"You don't have to worry about nautical skills, Putini is one of the best helmsmen and navigators in the entire South China Sea!"

The sea serpent looked at Eliven with the same faintness, the darkness under the hood almost completely obscured his pale and gloomy face, "The only thing I'm worried about now is whether we will be able to come back alive after we find Anderson's ship, and what will we get? ”

Eliven looked at the sea snake calmly, and then saw Putini and the old drunkard put their palms on the table in front of the sea snake without saying a word, obviously, the choice of the pirate trio was unexpectedly consistent, in this delicate environment now, the behavior of the three people can be regarded as a silent rejection of Elivan's unspoken solicitation, but this also made Elivan feel a little more relieved, although these three guys have great potential and everyone has experienced disasters, but sometimes you don't have to be brothers, and being friends is also a very good principle。

What's more, the old K-regiment really needs some forces that can be effective even in the vast endless sea.

"That's a problem!"

He tilted his head, counted with his fingers, and then said,

"A three-masted battleship that may be ninety percent new, supposedly with thirty-seven of the best dwarven guns on it, and more than a hundred elite sailors, oh yes, I'm not responsible for letting them listen to you, old pirates always have a way, don't they?"

"The three-masted battleship sounds good, but how's it going?"

Putini looked at Elivan with bright eyes, and the latter shrugged his shoulders rather helplessly,

"I haven't seen the actual ship either, but a ship that you call the "Pirate King" Anderson Fried and takes the position of captain himself can't be any worse, right?"

"Very good! The spoils of war will be divided into 30% of us, and the deal will be settled!"

The sea snake and Putini glanced at each other, whispered a few words to the old drunkard, coughed lightly, and finally came up with their final plan, but Elivan shook his head after listening to this plan, and Rattle and Roman even laughed, and then Putini was a little panicked, he hurriedly stood up, stretched out two fingers and gestured,

"If you think thirty percent is too much, then two percent is fine!"

Andre, who had been helping Murphy the donkey with a knife, clapped his hands and walked over, and said casually,

"I don't know what the reason for Elivan's refusal is, but it can't be because you think you have too much loot, maybe you don't know yet, this guy has enough wealth to buy half of Bay City, provided that the Dragonborn from the City Council are willing to sell!"

“...”

The pirate trio looked at Eleven, who was stirring the coffee with a calm face, and Wendy leaned on Eleven's shoulder, smiling and shaking the three big gemstone rings on her fingers that could blind people's eyes, with a "My boyfriend is a rich man and I am proud" expression, as the owner of almost one-third of the shares of the "Bordeaux Life Potion" that is now popular in the mainland (the original 60% of the shares have been resold a lot in five years), and the "gold-encrusted rose" that is worth thousands of gold 's major shareholder, gold coins are really like waste paper for Eleven.

"Let's put it this way, this time we only pick some things that are useful to us, and the rest can be used as start-up capital for you, and also, didn't I say you, take a long-term view, what is that money, this time go out and fight with the Storm Lady, as long as the Krakens determine their unrivaled status in the Storm Sea, you can rely on their strength to form a force here that is not inferior to the South China Sea Pirate Kingdom!"

A smile appeared on Eleven's face, and he said in a tone that resembled those demagogic devils,

"This is called a real investment, a profitable business, of course, the risk cannot be avoided, but think about the gain, it is enough to deserve the three of you who were expelled by the pirates of the South China Sea to restart the piracy business, isn't it? You see, it's definitely impossible for our old K regiment to stay here forever, the Krakens are aquatic creatures, and the seizure of Bay City is just to expel hostile forces, and when the time comes, Gulf City will not fall into your hands, and taking this ice-free port as your base camp is equivalent to choking the throat of the mainland's north-south navigation, and becoming a hegemon is just around the corner, isn't it?"

Putini, who likes to refute others, uncharacteristically did not refute Elivan's words this time, but swallowed his saliva and pulled the sea snake with a pensive face and the old drunkard who had become drunk and hazy again and ran to the other side of the hall.

"We'll discuss and we'll give you an answer!"

Looking at the obscene appearance of several people squatting in the corner of the wall and chattering quickly, the frowning Rattle picked up a glass of rum and asked in a low voice,

"Is it necessary to do this? It's just a few little pirates, where is the need for you to go to such great lengths to win them over?"

"It's different!"

Eliven slowly poured the warm coffee into his mouth, sighed comfortably, and then said slowly,

"These three guys are no ordinary little pirates, especially the very unreliable Putini, this guy has a deep story behind it, and the sea serpent and the old drunkard also have some backgrounds that I am interested in. ”

"What's different?"

Rattle looked at the three people suspiciously, but found nothing noteworthy, he couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and asked,

"Tell me about it. ”

"Okay"

Elivan smiled, "You have seen a wild mage like the Sea Snake in so many years in the Nine Towers Council? If you want me to say, if the wild mages are as skilled and understand the rules as he is, there will be no orthodox mages, so behind this guy the Sea Serpent must be related to the big people in the current scattered wild mage organization, the real big man." ”

"Why are you interested in the Wild Mage again? Didn't you say before that they were rubbish that the mud couldn't hold up the wall?"

Roman interjected again, and André pulled his chair closer with interest.

"Yes, most of them are muddy waste that can't hold up to the wall, but recently I found a problem,"

Elivan looked at the back of the sea serpent with a solemn face, and said in a low voice, "Maybe the wild mages that have existed since the beginning of the Third Age are not as simple as you think. ”

Looking at Rattle and Roman's puzzled looks, Elivan sighed in his heart, it's not simple, judging from the information that Rodnall told him, it is estimated that the wild mages who have now fallen to the bottom of the profession are likely to have a lot to do with the mage school of the Second Age, if all the power systems of the entire Third Age are a clumsy lie, then it is estimated that only these truly orthodox wild mages are the lucky ones who have not been blinded, although they themselves do not know this, and many of them have taken a wrong path。

After more than ten seconds, Elivan pointed to the old drunkard and said,

"Dwarves have always been rare in human countries, they are all concentrated near Danmo Snow Mountain, but I think you have probably heard of an exiled dwarven betrayer in the Danmo Snow Mountain Dwarf Empire, Black Iron Dwarf, yes, the old drunkard is probably these Black Iron Dwarves who are absolutely rare even in the dwarf group, a guy who is a betrayer of the race, and a dwarf who is extremely averse to water, why did he appear in the South China Sea and become a pirate? Don't you think there is a big secret to dig up?"

"Hey, after you say that, it's really true!"

Walking from south to north, the well-informed Rattle touched his bald head and explained to the others in a low voice, " When I first met the old drunkard, I thought he had only become dark-skinned because of the wind and rain on the sea all year round, but now I know that this should be his original skin color, the biggest difference between the black iron dwarves and the copperbeard dwarves, who are the main race of the dwarven empire, is that their skin color is as dark as iron, and their beards are mostly red, and they also have exiled tattoos on their necks, lo and behold, the old drunkard's beard, and the missing piece of flesh on his neck, apparently, this guy himself dug out the tattoo that represents the exile。 ”

"Sure enough, there is a secret!"

Roman's eyes lit up immediately, since Rattle successfully picked up his son Harry from the southern hills, after the father and son met, this guy's nature has gradually been exposed, he likes gossip, broken thoughts and sloppy, not at all like a well-trained noble child, but his strength is really not to say, the unique demon hound wolf pack seems to fight in a way that even Elivan feels quite troublesome, the besieged enemy will be hidden around the battlefield by Roman to find the flaw if he is not careful, relying on the imp Price's current mature plane transformation technique, it is easy to kill with one hit。

"Alright, that's all for today's conversation, Putini and they're all smart people, I'm sure they'll make a wise choice. ”

Elevenn moved his neck, and then said to Rattle, who was tasting the cherry bread that the ghost attendants had just taken the exam handed over by Andre, "We may need a reliable ship, it doesn't need to be too big, but the speed must be fast enough, I'll leave this to you and Roman, don't be stingy with money, time is the most important thing for us now!"

The barbarian nodded, and when he was about to stuff more than half of the bread left in his mouth, he pulled Roman, who was still pretending to drink the best red wine from the World Island, and walked out of the hall.

"Andre, I just pondered what you said about Filo, do you remember what that kid told us when we first met File?"

Eliven turned his head to look at the orc who was now slow to do anything, the latter thought for a moment and said, "File has said more than once that there are still his companions waiting for him in Bay City, and when she met the Silver War Bow that night, she also repeatedly emphasized that Fei Le has wasted a lot of time, and there are tasks or something, do you think, there are still elves from the World Island in Bay City?"

"I don't think so!"

Eliven shook his head, "I think there is definitely a team of elves here, but they are so well hidden, even the local land snakes, the city council has not been able to find them, so let's do it, you can manage my intelligence officers for me in the past two days, so that they can focus on the elves and outsiders, to be honest, the old man has left too many things, I am really a little busy alone,"

"It's no problem to help you manage it. ”

Andrei smiled and peeled a big orange for himself, and ate his mouth full of juice, and after he finished eating, the guy picked up the tablecloth and wiped his mouth, and said thoughtfully,

"Are you going to blame the elves for this attack?"

"Yes, the good relationship between the Kraken and the Council of Destruction cannot be destroyed for the time being, otherwise we will be very passive in the future, so we have to find a candidate who has a feud with the Kraken, and the elves who are a little anxious because of the destruction of the Council of Destruction to the order of the southern hills, aren't they the best candidates? ”

Elavin lowered his head and rubbed his fingers into his somewhat sour eyes as he explained to Andre, "It would be great if this matter could provoke a full-scale war against the elves by the Council of Destruction, but judging from the situation described by File, the current elven king and the priest of the moon don't look like belligerent people, so it would be nice to be able to find these hidden guys." ”

"Okay, you give me the token, I'll contact them!"

Andre picked up the last Rocha melon on the table, snorted it on the wall, then pinched the milky white fruit, took a ring from Elivan's hand, and left the hall slowly, as for Wendy, the little girl who had been in the time confinement for too long had long been impatient with the long calculations and intrigues, and just now he took the well-fed donkey Murphy to explore the entire magic tower, Elivan has already transferred his authority to the instrument spirit agate of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, under the control of Agate, the entire mage tower will not be too dangerous for Wendy。

"Dax, can you help me get in touch with Blackmane, I have something to talk to him about!"

Elivan stood up from the table, straightened his robes, and said to Dax, who was standing behind him, who immediately bowed his head and replied respectfully,

"Follow your instructions, Patriarch Elivan, I'll get in touch with Lord Blackmane as soon as possible!"

"I said you don't have to be so respectful between us, hey... Forget it, you can do whatever you want, tell Blackmane, I'll wait for him here. ”

Eliven sat on the throne of Rodnar, watched the Dax sisters bow their heads respectfully, and left the hall quickly, closing their eyes rather gloomily, before that, he had not realized how much authority the so-called dark Nine Patriarchs had, but just now from Dax's obviously heartfelt respect and obedience, but it made Elivan a little frightened, it seems that the dark believers really regard the Nine Patriarchs as the dark messengers of the ancient gods, believing that they will definitely lead the believers to a bright future.

"Whew... The hope of hundreds of thousands of people, the pressure is really great! Old man, old man, I finally understand your difficulties. ”

Eliven muttered, slowly leaned his head on the throne, and after a while he fell asleep with a nap, he had suffered in the secret realm of the Uman cemetery in the past few days, and his spirit, which had been in a high degree of tension, naturally fell asleep when he finally relaxed, and there was even a slight snoring sound.

------------------------------------------

On the other side, in the open sea of the Sea of Storms, thousands of meters below the turquoise blue waters, a magnificent palace complex covering an area of thousands of miles, and dense buildings of different kinds stand so majestically on a flat seabed upper plain, elite Kraken warriors and sea tide mages swim through the sea water next to them from time to time, on the road leading to the main entrance of the palace, rows of majestic Kraken Overseers are always vigilant for the appearance of any strangers, this is the place where the Krakens have been hiding for more than 2,000 years, and it is also the capital of the new Kraken Country, the eye of the storm - Salvos Sleep。

Due to the weight of the sea water from thousands of meters above at all times, the water pressure of Salvos has long exceeded the limits that ordinary creatures can reach, and it is no exaggeration to say that even if the best steel in the human world is put here, in less than three days, the steel will be flattened by this huge pressure.

But this life is not to enter the place, but it is the endangered kraken, no, the last happy land of the star and moon elves, the first kraken queen Eshara dragged the seriously injured body, and survived for more than a thousand years, after seeing the kraken society re-established, he forgot his last wish, and returned to the great elven kingdom, yes, even if he suffered such terrible treatment, even if his own people were slaughtered from the same race, but Queen Aishara was actually the most faithful believer in the elven kingdom for more than a thousand years when she was expelled, which is almost impossible, but it just appeared。

Of course, for her successor, the eldest daughter of Queen Aishara, Falaqi Aisara, the cowardly behavior of the Supreme Mother can be called the most unbearable mistake in her great life, but Her Royal Highness Aishhara is gone, and no matter how much Faraqi hates everything on the World Island, she can't reverse her mother's last trace of glory in the once glorious Elven Court.

Before she died, Aishara gave her two daughters to her friend, and she was also raised by her benefactor Rodnar Maphas, who had taken great risks to bring her people into the sea, and later Faraki and her sister Asasina also learned about the pain of Queen Aishara from Rodnar, to be precise, like Rodnar, Essara, who was born with a high status, was actually the last mourner of the Elven Kingdom of the Second Age, and unlike Rodnar, who had never experienced everything in the Second Age, Azhara personally experienced the darkest time of the whole world from prosperity to decline, in the last stage of her lifeDespite her best efforts to protect the remnants of the people like her, they were slaughtered by the elven ancestors of the Third Age, so the pain and torment in Aishara's heart was not much weaker than that of any exiled kraken, and her obsession with believing in the elven gods who abandoned them was only a memory of the glory she experienced in the Second Age.

She might go to the Kingdom of God herself to ask the gods and the Most High of the Second Age, why she and her people should suffer such a terrible disaster, and it is no exaggeration to say that Azhara is definitely the greatest and most pitiful king in the history of the elves since the appearance of the Second Age.
