In the evening, Stewart drove the Storm King along the various marks on the road to an island.

Although it was evening, a tall mage tower in the center of the island emitted a bright light, illuminating the sea as if it were daytime, making it impossible to tell the night coming.

"Knock Knock"

"Captain Merlin, the gathering place of Eternal Day Island has arrived, let's go down." Stewart came outside the captain's quarters and whispered.

"Okay, ask Bucky and Carter for their opinion and see if they want to go down for a walk."

Merlin put away the magic book in his hand, got up and walked out, he came here not only to inquire about the news, but also to have the idea of shopping.

"After asking, Bucky told Miss Carter that they weren't used to the customs and didn't plan to get off the ship."

Stewart consciously led the way in front of him, turning his head to explain.

"That's okay, then give the others a holiday, let them buy whatever they want, and come back at noon tomorrow."

Merlin was referring to the sailors of the Storm King, all of whom were young men with strong blood and blood, and their hands were calloused after staying on the ship for so long.

Usually there are not many opportunities to get off the ship, and there are few daily activities, if it weren't for the game consoles that Merlin got from other worlds, it would probably be suffocated.

Stewart pondered for a moment, in fact, he had also taken the crew to the gathering place, after all, sailing on the sea had to have some fun and release his mood.

It's just that Merlin didn't know about it in the other worlds, so he simply agreed.

Soon, with Stewart's mature business skills, he was able to complete the formalities very quickly and find a place to park the ship.

There is nothing to look at Merlin and find things to taunt, or to walk out of a few geniuses of magic families, look at this unpleasantly, look at that unpleasant and wait for others to come and pretend to slap their faces.

Merlin was slightly disappointed, but thought about it, this is not a world, how could there be those things.

However, it may also be because of the Storm King, after all, ships of this size are rare even in Norland.

The Storm King's massive size stands out in the harbor where Eternal Day Island gathers.

Coupled with its domineering and exposed temperament, it exudes a dark black color, which is not easy to mess with at first glance.

The size of the Eternal Day Island gathering place is not very large in the Endless Sea, and it can only be regarded as a medium gathering place at best.

But it's only relative to this huge Endless Sea, and if it is placed on land, it is almost like half of the Rhine City.

"This is a place for free trading, and there is generally no one to supervise it, and it is more advocating bartering.

Because it is relatively free, it is natural that some people who fish in troubled waters will be mixed in, and if you want to try your luck, you can still go shopping. ”

Over the years, Stuart has been to many gathering places to help Merlin find the Pure Magic Crystal, so he is an old brother compared to Merlin.

At this time, he was acting as a guide, taking Merlin around the settlement.

Merlin looked in the direction of his finger, and a large bazaar appeared before him, occupying the eastern part of the agglomeration.

The general layout is similar to the makeshift market that Merlin once visited in the Blue Mountains, but it is more bustling than that market.

Adventurers put their things in front of them and set them up as small stalls, and people who came and went directly talked about what to exchange for.

It's more free here, and even the folk customs are more simple, after a middle-aged bearded uncle in a red robe exchanged items with a magic swordsman stall owner, he felt dissatisfied and actually fought.

But before the middle-aged uncle in the red robe could achieve victory, he was driven over and dragged out by a group of guards in black armor.

"Who are those people, the managers here?"

Merlin poked Stewart and asked about the origin of these black-armored guards, and he found that each of these black-armored soldiers had the strength of a third-order demon swordsman, which was already not bad.

"That's right, there is only one rule in the gathering place, that is, you can't rob it, otherwise you will be expelled by the convener of the gathering place, and in serious cases, you will even die.

Those should be the subordinates of the owner of this gathering place of Eternal Day, who are responsible for protecting the stability of the trading market. ”

Stewart paused, then continued.

"If the free trade zone wants to be protected, it must pay a part of the tax to the owner of the gathering place, and looking at the stall owner, it should be the result of paying the tax.

On the contrary to the free trade area, there is a shop area on this side, where if you want a good location, you have to pay the owner of the gathering place to have a good location.

If there is a fake item bought in the shopping area, you can complain to the owner of the gathering place, and you can get some compensation from the owner of the gathering place.

Therefore, it is more secure to buy things in the shopping area, but this price may be more expensive. ”

The shop area is actually a temporary house made of wooden planks next to the free trade area.

At the same time, a defensive spell and a wind cleaning spell were also engraved on the house, and an area that looked relatively clean.

"It's kind of interesting."

Circle a piece of land, build a good shop, sell it at a high price, earn rent, and at the same time give another piece of land to someone else to earn protection money.

Merlin touched his chin, and felt a little emotion in his heart, this business acumen is really regardless of the era and the world.

If he didn't have much time to stay in one place, he would have wanted to build a gathering place, after all, engaging in a trade zone is the most profitable.

"What would happen if pirates came over, or if we robbed this place?"

Merlin suddenly had such an idea, and whispered close to Stewart.

Of course, he is not a pirate, and he has no intention of robbing, but just wants to find out.

"Lord Merlin, this idea is unacceptable, very dangerous." When Stewart heard these words, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, and then he explained.

"Let's not talk about the people who dare to open the gathering place are all high-level magic masters, the question of whether we can grab it.

If you really rob it, it will not be easy in the future, and those who have been in the endless sea for a long time know that there is a special dye, as long as it is dipped in a little, it can be perceived.

The imprint left by any of the congregations on the islands along the way is made of this dye, which will not disappear for almost hundreds of years.

If we rob the gathering place, and the people at the gathering place can't beat us, at least we can leave this dye on our ship.

At that time, all the adventurers who wander the sea will trouble us.

Because the Adventurers' Guild has a bounty, I don't know who hung it, but that person is definitely a legendary mage.

That bounty is that killing the person contaminated with the indestructible dye will give you the favor of the legendary mage and give him a chance to make a move.

If you really do this, the feeling of being hunted down by the adventurers of the entire Endless Sea will definitely not be comfortable. ”

"Ahem, is there anything else with this thing, that's fine, I'm just figuratively, yes, figuratively."

Merlin's face turned red, I don't know if it's because he has mixed up with Jack and Barbossa, he always wants to do pirate work.

Tsk, I'm a pure pirate, ahem, no, a pure adventurer.

……
