"How's it going?"

After the sacrifice, Bai Luo let everyone leave, and he found his uncle and sister.

"The method is right, but the tribute is wrong," Bai Luo said, "We used the wrong sacrifice." ”

"Isn't it cereal?"

The senior sister said, "Otherwise, let's go and get some precious animals back." ”

"If you want to sacrifice again, you have to wait a month. ”

Bai Luo didn't expect that there would be a failure punishment, but if you think about it carefully, this is not bad, he can just go and do his own thing.

"That's just right!"

"Now that we have time, it's time to replenish the population," the old man said. ”

Population, which is something that the people of Arden are desperately lacking right now.

With people, more miracle children can be born.

The children of miracles can form troops and form armies, which is the foundation to protect Arden and make this country stand on the land of miracles.

"Follow me. ”

The old man took the two of them to his house, and then dug out a map: "You have rarely been to the sea before, and you don't know much about the surrounding area, and this chart was obtained when I was adventuring in the early years. ”

"You see, we're on Arden Island, which is probably in this location. ”

"Uh... ”

Bai Luo found that the sky above the chart was empty: "Our island, not marked on the chart?"

"Don't dislike it, it's good to have it, backward is a little behind," the old man nodded his head: "But things, exist here." ”

"Yes. ”

Bai Luo: "Uncle, you continue." ”

"We are in the southeast of the Miracle Continent. ”

Uncle marked the location of the Iron Eagle Kingdom and Arden Island: "And to the southwest of us, there is an archipelago country called the Azure Duchy. ”

"To get to the closest place to us in the Azure Principality, we need to drive the fastest warship, and it will take at least half a month to make a round trip. ”

"Iron Eagle, Azure, and the area around Arden Island, this large area of sea is called the Oriental Sea," said the uncle, "The power of the Pirate King Morgan is entrenched here. ”

"Xiao Luo, what do you think?"

Faced with his uncle's question, Bai Luo's answer was: "Surrounded on three sides, the geographical location of Arden Island can not only connect with the ancient capital of Shiluan, but also continue to the west, to the Kingdom of the Mountains, and the Holy Empire further west. ”

"If you go from the east to the north, you can pass through the waters of the Bright Duchy, reach the Far North Empire, and trade with the cities there. ”

"Needless to say, although I haven't been to the Azure Duchy, I've heard of its name. ”

Teal is only a principality though.

According to my uncle, a principality is a country that has 3 types of miracles, but no more than 7 types.

This country is a miracle land, calling itself a 'permanent neutral country', and it has also been recognized by many countries.

"The Azure Duchy is huge, and we, for the time being, had better not provoke this behemoth. ”

As far as Uncle's experience is concerned, in the next ten years, they should not have a hard fight with the Azure Duchy, which is too irrational.

"What about Morgan, what do you think, Xiao Luo?"

"This... ”

Bai Luo thought about it, he felt that he would definitely go to war with Morgan, and the two had already formed a grudge.

"Feiya?"

"Dad, you want to say that you want us to replace Morgan, right?"

Senior Sister's words immediately made Bai Luo suddenly realize: "I see, since Morgan can be entrenched in the Eastern Seas, if we defeat Morgan and change the Pirate King, it will not affect the balance of the sea." ”

"It's a challenge, but it's also an opportunity. ”

"Not bad. ”

Seeing the complementarity of Bai Luo and Senior Sister, there are two of them, and the future of Arden, he is very relieved: "But this is just a theoretical plan, it can't be completed by one or two battles." ”

"This sea area is too big, even if we want to take it, we have to seize the opportunity. ”

In the past few days, the uncle has been discussing countermeasures with the two old men, and the three of them are like the humerus minister of Arden.

Bai Luo lacked political and military experience, so he knew very well who to ask for his opinion and how to make a choice in this kind of grand strategic layout.

"Will there be a war soon?"

"There must be a fight," the old man replied to Bai Luo, "but we must first understand why we are fighting this battle." ”

"You're talking about Siglian?"

"It's him, but it's also the Pirate King Morgan. ”

Uncle said: "Now, we don't know what the other side's strength is, so it is very unwise to start a war rashly. ”

Fight ordinary pirates, it doesn't matter.

But if you encounter an army composed of miracle troops, with today's Arden, to be honest, even if you can win, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

"Where is our interest, uncle?"

Bai Luo is a rational person, the purpose of war is profit, if there is no benefit, Bai Luo will not fight.

"Time, as well as deterrence. ”

Uncle said: "Our war with Siglian is to gain more time, and at the same time to let them know that we are not easy to mess with. ”

As for taking the initiative and taking out Morgan...

Even if Bai Luo had three miracles, he had too little time.

Even if Bai Luo's efficiency is ten times that of Morgan, but Morgan has obtained miracles for 200 years, how can his accumulation be shaken by Bai Luo today?

"Of course, we can't fight Morgan for the time being, but Siglian's troops, he is not Morgan's main force, and there are only one-sixths. ”

"As long as you choose the right battlefield, it won't be difficult to defeat Siglian. ”

These days, the three elders have been discussing the question of where to choose the battlefield, and now there is quite progress, just waiting for Sigrion to send it.

"Morgan's business, we are not in a hurry for the time being. ”

"Our next priority is to travel to the Teal Duchy. ”

"Don't draw the attention of the Miracle Lord over there," said the uncle, "Our target is the slave traders. ”

Yes, slave traders.

Arden needs a population, and the best source of population is the slaves who lost their homes to the war.

Because they have no homeland, they have no freedom and no identity.

After coming to Arden, as long as Bai Luo treats them well, Arden will soon become their only home.

Bai Luo didn't want pirates because these people were of bad character and had too many problems.

Since you want to buy it, if you can choose at will, it is better to buy some civilians, or young people.

"Maybe some of them will have bad intentions, but most of them should be willing to integrate into Arden. ”

The ungrateful will always exist.

Uncle didn't hope that he could assimilate everyone, but even if the assimilation rate was only 70%, Bai Luo was satisfied.

"Find these slave traders and establish trade with them. ”

"Sell us slaves," said the old man, "and we can accept the price two or three times higher, or even twice as expensive." ”

The existence of the First Sprout Sacred Bag is like giving Arden an endless gold mine.

Their output, those spices, is definitely not comparable to the consumption of this world.

After all, it takes time for slaves to be transported, and as long as Bailuo and them maintain a good export volume of trade, not only will the price of black pepper not be reduced much, but it will also make small profits and quick sales because of the demand of more people.

What's more, it's a monopoly!

If it is low, sell less, and if it is high, export more.

Price, not they have the final say?

"Black pepper is very difficult to grow, its demand for the environment is too high," the old man said, "so in the next period of time, Xiao Luo, you pour more black pepper out, and we will dry it and make black pepper powder." ”

In doing so, it also avoids the problem of recalculation because of the moisture inside the black pepper.

"Good. ”

The drying of black peppers is actually very simple, with Lilith's fairy magic, a matter of minutes.

So the next day, everyone loaded boxes of black peppers onto the warship.

The ship was left behind by the pirates, but was modified by Lilith to cast some elven magic.

From the appearance alone, they are so different from the previous ones that they will never be recognized.

"Everyone, are you all on board?"

The members of this operation were 6 people in total.

Male, with White Lot, John Jr., and Anderson.

In addition, he brought 3 women, namely the cook Imeter, the secretary of Bailuo, Gonia, and the sister of Knowles.

Gonia is smart and has an extremely high IQ.

With her, Bai Luo will not be toyed with by numbers.

If there is a problem with the price offered by the other party, as long as Gonia says a word, Bai Luo will definitely let the other party know how serious the consequences of cheating the Arden people are.

In addition to these people, the uncle, senior sister, Inya and others all stayed on Arden Island.

And Lilith, who continues to teach the children magic.

Of course, Bai Luo will take Shirley with him.

And according to the relationship between the miracle creature and its master, as long as Bai Luo summons, Lilith will immediately come to Bai Luo's side.

The only problem was that once summoned, Lilith would have to stay outside with Bai Luo and take the boat home.

Lilith needs to stay to defend Arden Island, so if she can't summon her, Bai Luo tries not to summon her.

"Is that all we have?"

Little John was puzzled, and Anderson also looked at Bai Luo, who was a newcomer and a first-time visitor.

I saw that the tree elf boy had a white cloth tied to his head, dressed as the third brother———— this was to cover his ears.

Bai Luo brought Anderson out because Anderson wanted to come out to have a look, improve his knowledge, and help Bai Luo do more things in the future.

Although there was a risk, Bai Luo was very willing to train his subordinates, so he gladly accepted his request.

"This one. ”

Bai Luo explained: "We went out on a big ship, not to buy slaves and come back, but to order from slave merchants first. ”

Slaves were often not purchased directly from slave traders, but were transported to slave markets, where they were handed over to slave owners for resale.

Bai Luo naturally could go to the slave market.

But it's too chaotic over there, and you have to carry people out to sea again and again, and it's such a large amount, sooner or later it will cause trouble.

"We're going to do business for the long haul, not once or twice. ”

Bai Luo's plan is to find the slave ship and trade directly with their boss.

Pay a deposit and then build the initial trust in the trade.

"Choosing an island by the sea instead of going to Blue Sea City in the Azure Duchy is good for both of us. ”

The slave trader was there to reduce taxes, and Bai Luo, he was for safety: "Now it's up to you who has the guts and is willing to do business with us." ”

Anyway, money is not an issue.

The people of Arden are bad at everything, just not bad at money.

Bai Luo: Yes, I have a mine at home!

"Captain. ”

Gonia changed her name, which was Bai Luo's request: "Although money is not a problem, you can't be wronged." ”

"Well, too. ”

Bai Luo is not good at business: "Then I'll leave it to you, anyway, when the time comes, you go to talk about Gonia, and I'll help you support the scene on the side." ”

"Hmm. ”

There is a specialization in the art industry, and Gonia has been educated by her uncle for many years, although she is far from being as good as her uncle, but she has also obtained three or four points of true inheritance.

"And us, and us!"

Three cute kittens chased and played on the deck, their words could only be heard by Bai Luo, and in the ears of others, there was only the cute cry of 'meow'.

"We're super fierce too!"

The three kittens pose poss, and they have the potential to become the three major generals of the Arden Army Headquarters.

"Prosperity, civilization, harmony, freedom, justice, dedication... ”

The rats held aloft unknown pests and chanted the slogans that Bai Luo had said, indicating that they had a good job.

"Huh. ”

Bai Luo nodded at them, and then announced to everyone, "Anchor, let's go!"
