Section 143 Insider Story of Pirates

"How much pirate power is there in the City of Chaos?" the old evil then asked.

"Almost half of them are pirates, and half of them belong to the three major pirate organizations, and the Black Dragon Society is one of them!" Constani explained.

"What do these pirates do in the city?" asked the old man, puzzled.

"They also run shops, but they only sell stolen goods, not anything. Our shop, on the other hand, only accepts stolen goods, not sells anything!" Constantine laughed.

"Isn't it over for you to just trade directly, why is it so troublesome?" said the old evil in confusion.

"Because we can't negotiate the price we see!" Constani said with a smile: "For us, there are too many pirates and a lot of stolen goods, so we naturally have to use the limited funds in our hands to buy as many goods as possible." However, most of those big pirate organizations know the goods and have the capital, and they are not in a hurry to ship, and we do not have an advantage when negotiating with them, so we simply set up shops and collect things from the small group of pirates, because they are relatively poor, and they are in a hurry to get rid of them, and there are not many people who know the goods, and it is easy for us to get good things. As for the small merchants who can't afford to open shops, they will naturally have to spend more money to collect stolen goods from pirates' shops!"

"There are so many pirates, and there are so many dirty things, so who are the victims?" the old evil suddenly said puzzled: "As far as I know, the human kingdom has almost forbidden sea transportation because of rampant pirates, right?"

"Serious chambers of commerce naturally don't leave, but don't forget, land transportation, after passing through a city, you have to pay a tax of 10% of the value of goods, how many large and small cities between the two major empires of the north and south of mankind? Just taxes, plus freight, almost make the price of goods more than five times, but if you want to take the sea route, you can completely save these troubles, at most double the cost, that is to say, the profit obtained by successful smuggling is almost three times the price of goods. Such a big temptation is inevitable for many people who are not afraid of death. So smuggling by sea has never really stopped. Konstani laughed.

"In addition, in addition to smugglers, pirates occasionally come ashore to rob small towns, and even they are not polite to each other. After all, although the Demon Islands are barren, there are at least some things, even the demons from the other world will definitely not come naked, and they are more or less family-owned. Pirates don't care who the demons are, as long as their strength allows them, they will also visit the demon castles on various islands from time to time. Constani said: "These are the main sources of stolen goods! Anyway, there are still a lot of stolen goods in the City of Chaos, and millions of gold coins are circulating here every year!"

"The demons of the Devil's Islands have also been robbed by pirates?" the old evil was amused when he heard it.

"Of course, actually, they're all the same. Many of the demons are pirates themselves, and they also have a stronghold in the Alcatraz Islands. And the relationship between the demons is not very good, almost every day there is a civil war, I really don't know, why are there so many of them, they have not died for so long, but the number seems to be increasing!" Constani smiled bitterly: "I remember that before, there were not too many demons in the City of Chaos, most of them were humans on the continent. But in just a few decades, they've almost made up more than half of the entire City of Chaos!"

"How many people are there in the City of Chaos right now?" asked the old demon.

"About a hundred thousand, right?" said Constani uncertainly.

"The pirates are a mess, aren't they?" asked the old evil again.

"Yes, definitely!" Constani nodded, then suddenly asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Hehe!" the old evil suddenly grinned, and then said something that almost scared Constantine to death, "I'm going to rob the Black Dragon Society!"

"What?" Constani exclaimed, "You don't want to die?"

"What's this?" said the old evil without care: "Since they dare to rob Lao Tzu, they must be prepared to pay the price, there is a saying, if you call it out and mix it, you will have to pay it back sooner or later!"

"However, the strength of the Black Dragon Society in the City of Chaos is very great!" Constani smiled bitterly: "Although Tianfeng Shishilang has transferred 5,000 people, I dare to say that they still have at least more than 1,000 people in their headquarters in the City of Chaos, after all, it is very chaotic there, and it is their key point, so it is impossible not to be guarded!"

"Fighting a war depends on the brain, not just the number and strength!" the old evil pouted, and then said, "Call me this matter!"

Then, the old evil turned his face and continued to ask Dilais, "Dilais, how many mercenary groups do you know? ”

"Young master, I know a lot, but there are not many reliable ones, I don't dare to guarantee that they will do things after receiving money!" said Delesse helplessly.

"Trouble!" the old evil didn't expect the mercenary group here to be so discredited, but he was relieved to think that the environment where this place was located was a bandit's den at all. Then he asked, "Is it possible for the remaining two of the three major pirate organizations to help us clean up the Black Dragon Society?"

"Impossible!" Konstani shook his head directly: "Although the three major pirate organizations are secretly fighting fiercely, there will definitely be no fierce head-on conflict!"

"Why is that?" said the old evil in confusion.

"In fact, the real owners behind the so-called three major pirate organizations are the three legendary-level great demons on Alcatraz Island, they are people from the same plane, although they are not in harmony with each other, but they know that in this strange plane, only by uniting can they save their lives. So there was a peace agreement between them. Konstani explained.

"How come I don't know such big news?" said the old evil in a strange way.

"This news is very hidden, and I only learned about it after many years of dealing with pirates. Constani smiled bitterly: "You also know that the three demons want to conquer the continent, so their reputation on the continent is very stinky, to the point that everyone hates it." If everyone on the mainland knew that they were the owners behind the three pirates, I am afraid that the City of Chaos would no longer exist!"

"You know, why don't you tell others?" said the old evil in a strange way.

"Are you stupid?" Constani glanced at the old evil, and then said with a wry smile: "If the chaotic city is destroyed by the alliance of various clans because of my denunciation, how will I collect the stolen goods and make a fortune in the future?"

"You're so selfish!" said the old evil with a smile and a smile.

"It's not just me! There are many powerful people who know about this, and they all have a tacit understanding that they don't publicize it everywhere, but just hide it from the people below!" Constani said helplessly: "Therefore, if I dare to break this invisible unspoken rule, it is equivalent to offending the powerful people of the entire continent." ”

"I know that such appeasement will only give milk to my enemies, and I will sacrifice more people in the future because of this. But for the sake of immediate interests, the powerful unanimously chose to ignore these. That's why I said, noble, it's not a thing!" the old evil couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"In your eyes, am I bad?" said Constani a little sadly.

"Hehe!" the old evil smiled evilly, and said, "Bad is right, women are not bad, men don't love it!"

"Nasty, how can you say that!" Constantine then laughed and scolded, "By the way, what are you going to do now?

"Of course, I can't chase the horses in one word!" The old evil said dryly: "Don't say that there are only a thousand people, that is, 10,000 people, and Lao Tzu is also destroyed!"

"And what are you going to do?" said Constani cautiously.

"The secret of heaven must not be revealed!" the old evil pretended to be mysterious, "Anyway, when the time comes, you will know!"

"I warn you, if you don't tell me, don't try to mobilize my people!" Constani immediately said forcefully, "I will not let my men die in vain!"

"Hehe, whatever, actually, I didn't plan to invite you to participate!" the old evil laughed: "I don't have the habit of sharing spoils with others!"

"Huh, you're so confident?" said Konstani incredulously.

"Nonsense, do you think I look like a big talker?" said the old evil proudly.

"You don't look like you!" Constantine then said solemnly, "You are simply that!"

The old evil suddenly turned bitter, and he couldn't help but say depressedly, "I really don't give face!"

"Hehe!" Constani couldn't help laughing when he looked at the old evil, and then said: "Okay, don't make trouble, go and rest, you have to hurry tomorrow!"

"Yes!" the old evil agreed, and he and Constani exchanged goodnight, and then everyone went to rest.

A few days later, the old evil and his party finally arrived in the City of Chaos. From afar, this is more of a cluttered town than a city. There are no walls, the perimeter is full of tents of all kinds, and the complex inside is fairly well preserved, but it is clearly specially fortified. The original exquisite sculptures and murals are all finished, and they are all covered by all kinds of stones and wooden stakes, making them look like small castles.
