After Andrea left Alcatraz, she quickly wrote a long letter to Sauron, the president of the Crumbel Chamber of Commerce, and gave a detailed account of the situation on Alcatraz, and made a very high evaluation.

At first, Sauron, the president of the Crumbel Chamber of Commerce, thought this was a sensational statement, and once again sent a trusted confidant to Alcatraz Island to investigate the situation in the guise of a businessman.

The merchant was just as shocked by what was happening on Alcatraz Island, just as much as Andrewre, and his letters to Sauron spoke highly of everything on the island, including the machinery he couldn't understand.

"Those are like the products of a trade with the demons of Hell, they are so incredible! My President, I think you should really come here and see for yourself, and see how these things can easily transport the rocks like a small mountain to a height of more than ten meters. Yes, it's not uncommon to send stones high in the sky, in the city of Tarasia in the sky, in the imperial capital of Garcia, there are even castles floating in the air, but my lord, that is the power of magic, and here, I see these dark-skinned guys who have done everything that can only be done by magic power without using magic at all!"

"I think you're aware of what that means, my president, and I think we've come to a point where we've had to make a choice, whether to choose such an ambitious pirate as a friend, or such a group of people with mystical powers as enemies?"

"If we show favor to them now, then we will become their most important companions, because we have what they are most desperately needing now -- large-caliber long-range howitzers! My lord, if I had to draw conclusions, I think I would bet on these pirates, because they have a sense of honor and belonging that is admired and awe-inspired. These ethereal things unite them tightly and turn them into a group of warriors with great combat effectiveness! And these people are leaning on a powerful fortress and fortress, and they will burst out with extremely great power!"

"My Elder, the day we have been waiting for decades to challenge the power of the Kelsman family has finally arrived, and when Athos was alive, we had not yet risen, so we missed the best chance to defeat the Kelsmans. But now, a new maritime power is rising right under our noses! There is not much time left for us to think and hesitate, this island is changing every day, and the speed of its development is jaw-dropping!"

"Lord Lord, as you said, whoever holds the hegemony of the sea will hold the hegemony of controlling the world! Now, it's our turn to bet!"

When Sauron, the president of the Clumbel Chamber of Commerce, saw this letter, he completely faced up to the group of pirates far away in the Sea of Nilcia, although Agatha repeatedly emphasized to him the personal strength of the pirate Tang Jie, although he was also hesitant to bet on Tang Jie, but deep down in his heart he despised pirates after all, and he did not have the slightest good impression of these habits of wandering around, and did not have the slightest sense of loyalty and honor. Putting the treasure on such a group of people is tantamount to a desperate gamble, and its risk is no less than waging an earth-shattering war.

Now, Agatha, Andrew, and his closest aides have come to a very similar answer, all of whom are known for their foresight, and it is extremely unlikely that one person may look away, but at the same time let all three of them have a keen eye.

For businessmen, any transaction is gambling, just the probability of winning or losing, and the probability of winning in this game in front of you is extremely considerable, and you can bet on it.

But for the president of a huge chamber of commerce, whether to bet or not should also focus on the risks that will be brought by the gamble even if the bet is won.

This risk is not only the ferocious counterattack of the Kelsmans, but also whether this rebellious pirate will always be with them in the future.

What if one day he suddenly becomes our enemy?

Outside the window, a light rain was falling, and the president of the Clumbel Chamber of Commerce, Sauron, stood in his study, his old and wise face full of deep wrinkles, and he remained motionless, like a stone statue chiseled by a sculptor.

Does the Clumber Chamber of Commerce want to support such a group of pirates to become its powerful allies?

Is he a friend or foe?

Tang Jie, who was already in the imperial capital, didn't know that the Clumbel Chamber of Commerce under Tareras was facing the most difficult choice at this time, and he didn't know that once this Chamber of Commerce completely fell to him, he would quickly build a truly powerful sea fleet and truly complete the construction of a fierce and strong sea fortress!

But even if Tang Jie knew, he wouldn't think too much about it, because these things were far away from him, and what was even closer now was that he had to deal with endless communication and entertainment.

Especially those nobles who came to test him with ulterior motives, some of these people were jealous aristocratic young men, although they were respectful on the surface, but the deep disdain in their eyes and the sour taste in their tones could be felt even from dozens of miles away Tang Jie!

But Tang Jie still has to deal with these people, because this is the so-called aristocratic communication rules that Agatha told him before.

Endless politeness, brainless comparisons and heartless hypocrisy, all of this simply made Tang Jie extremely tired.

Who is this rustic redneck?

Oh, is this the pirate from the sea? God, he's like a peasant from the country, how can he not understand any manners?

I'm sorry you don't even know this?Ah, I'm sorry for your ignorance!

Look, a monkey who entered the imperial capital in human skin, for the sake of the god Raphael, this is still a black-haired monkey!

These harsh words were overheard by Tang Jie, in fact, almost everyone talked about him like this behind his back, but when he touched them, these guys became full of smiles, but once they turned their backs, they immediately became full of disdain and sneer.

Every time he saw these face-changing masters, Tang Jie wanted to smash them in the face with a punch and hit them to see if they could still pretend to be that kind of hypocritical and polite smile when they saw him.

If it weren't for Agatha always being by his side, Tang Jie would have gone away in this kind of private social occasion in the aristocratic circle.

He really didn't understand the etiquette of these so-called nobles, and he didn't understand the various treasures that these nobles wore on their bodies, and it was impossible for them to identify all kinds of treasures and treasures like Agatha, and the reason why these so-called nobles wanted to see them was out of curiosity, just as city people would always wonder what those wild beasts in the mountains and forests looked like.

But Tang Jie is a proud lion, not an animal locked in a cage for people to watch and evaluate!

These boys who are dressed in human skins, extremely luxurious, and can't hold swords or open bows, what qualifications do they have to comment on me!

Tang Jie sneered, he drank all the brandy in his hand, and secretly sneered: "How did I come to this ghost place, it's really nonsense!"

This small banquet was a private banquet initiated by Agatha, at which various celebrities were entertained, and when Agatha was busy socializing, she inevitably snubbed Tang Jie.

Although there are many people who want to know Tang Jie, most of these people are actually just going through the motions, and no one dares to say a few more words to this black-haired guy.

Because at this time, both Prince Kirk and Prince Fernandez wanted to win over this guy, and when these two men vying for power had not yet made a final decision, no one dared to take the lead in expressing friendship to this man.

Therefore, this banquet turned into an extremely boring dinner, if Tang Jie hadn't looked at Agatha's face, he would definitely not have attended such a dinner!

Just as Tang Jie said this grumbling remark, Agatha happened to come out of the crowd with a wine glass.

The woman was wearing a dark green off-the-shoulder dress with a high slit under the hem, and the roots of her snow-white thighs were exposed with every step Agatha took.

"What are you talking about, my captain?" said Agatha with a slight smile, a touching blush on her face.

Tang Jie smiled slightly, raised his wine glass, and said, "I said, this wine is so light, it tastes boring!"

Agatha knew that this man had something to say, and he was a little sullen in his heart, so she smiled gently, her body stood very close to Tang Jie, her full breasts were almost close to Tang Jie, and she said with a smile: "My captain, what kind of wine is strong when you drink it?"

Tang Jie and Agatha have a very good personal relationship, but he didn't pay attention to this level of intimacy in front of him at all, he smiled and snatched the wine glass from Agatha's hand, and then said: "This kind of wine is simply boiled water, there is no degree at all, in my opinion, this is just a drink! The real wine, of course, is rum!"

Agatha was stunned for a moment: "Rum?"

She remembers that her teacher, who taught her about liquor culture as a child, once commented on rum: the wine of the common people.

It was a low-grade liquor with a rough workmanship, a single variety, and a fierce spirit, and was loved by a large number of commoners and almost all pirates, so the nobles considered it "a lowly wine suitable for the common people".

Agatha grew up drinking mostly brandy and noble liquor, and she had never drunk anything like rum.

Tang Jie looked at her blank appearance, and secretly laughed in his heart: "Don't tell me, you haven't drunk it once?"

Agatha shook her head.

Tang Jieha smiled, and he stopped a waiter serving a drink: "Do you have rum here?"

"Ahh

But he wouldn't be stupid and say, "That's the wine that only lowly commoners drink, are you sure you want to drink it?"

This will surely end him badly, because he knows very well the temper of these so-called nobles, and who knows when they will go crazy and taste this wine?

Didn't these nobles often see beautiful shepherdess on the way to play, and chase after them to beg for pleasure on the spot?

When the interest comes, who cares whether the woman under him is lowly or noble?

It's the same with drinking!

The waiter's eyes rolled, he observed Tang Jie and Agatha's expressions, and saw that they didn't seem to be joking, so he said, "I seem to remember that we have a small amount of this wine in our wine cellar, please later, I will fetch it for you?"

Tang Jie smiled and nodded: "Go ahead." ”

Agatha looked at the waiter who turned and shook her head, and she said with some uneasiness: "But, my captain, is it ...... to drink this wine here?"

Tang Jie suddenly glared at her: "What's wrong with rum, is it a shame to drink this kind of wine?"

Agatha hesitated and said, "No, I didn't mean that, I meant ......"

Tang Jie didn't wait for her to finish, then interrupted and said, "Agatha, you answer me, why do you want to drink, is it for socializing or for this wine to be delicious?"

Agatha thought for a moment and said, "It should be the former!"

Tang Jie continued: "Then why do you think people want to drink wine when they first invented such a thing? Is it because of social entertainment, or because this wine is delicious?"

Agatha didn't think about it this time, and said directly: "Of course it's the latter!"

Tang Jie slapped his face: "You see, at different times, the conclusions drawn are completely different! Wine is still the same wine, but what changes is people's attitudes! Therefore, there is no distinction between superior and inferior things like wine, it is these so-called people, they first divided their own race into 369 and so on, and then correspondingly divided these innocent wines into 369 and so on......

As he spoke, the waiter came with two glasses of rum, and unlike the transparent brandy, this amber rum was particularly eye-catching.

Tang Jie took a glass of wine from the plate held by the waiter, and then held the glass of brandy in the other hand, and said to Agatha: "Now, can you tell which wine is noble and which is low?"

Tang Jieha smiled, drank the rum in his hand, and then closed his eyes, enjoying the spicy and violent sensation of burning his throat with a hearty face, and he suddenly remembered what the old captain Barr had said to him: rum, this is the wine that real men drink!

Tang Jie now thinks so!

After enjoying the stimulating sensation brought by the rum, Tang Jie opened his eyes and saw Agatha looking at him curiously, and the talking eyes seemed to ask: Is it really that delicious?

This woman has been a strict adherent to family and aristocratic etiquette since she was a child, she has followed the rules, she has never made a mistake, and she has never done anything that would be made fun of by her peers, such as rum, a commoner drink.

Tang Jie looked at her expression, he suddenly smiled evilly, took another glass of rum from the waiter's plate, handed it to Agatha, and said instigatingly: "Come, you can taste it!"

Agatha immediately shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, I can't drink!"

Tang Jie asked, "Why can't you drink it?"

Saying that, Tang Jie feigned anger and said, "Or, you look down on me?"

In Tang Jie's previous life, this sentence was a killer weapon for persuading wine at the banquet, and the upper line forced the other party to have nowhere to hide, and most of them had to obey.

But Agatha was sleek after all, she looked up at Tang Jie, looking at him with big eyes blinking, indescribable grievances and pity, that kind of gaze seemed to be silently begging him for mercy.

"Can a gentleman like you bear to persecute a beautiful lady like this?" Agatha whispered.

Tang Jie looked at Agatha, he suddenly remembered the scene when he had just met Agatha on the "Conch", he smiled, and winked at Agatha: "I'm not a gentleman, have you forgotten?"

Agatha let out a confused sigh, she thought that Tang Jie wanted to do something to her, and subconsciously took a step back, but she saw Tang Jie pour another glass of rum into her mouth.

Thankfully, he finally didn't force me to drink it, and I didn't have to be laughed at by these people chewing their tongues.

Agatha's mind immediately crossed the thought of this, but then she suddenly felt a slight sense of loss, and when she saw the amber liquid swaying in the transparent goblet, her heart seemed to throb with the shaking of the liquid.

But suddenly, Tang Jie made a move that made her stunned.

After Tang Jie took a sip of rum, he didn't drink it, but suddenly put a hand around Agatha's soft and slender waist, pulled her into his arms suddenly, and then kissed her heavily.

Agatha suddenly trembled violently as if she had been struck by lightning, and then froze in place.
