Two minutes later, a rocking Fast came to the cabin.

“…… Don't think that you won't be scolded if you're a lord. ”

"I actually wanted to call Francois here." Annan said apologetically, "Everyone knows that you don't do anything but fish." ”

This kind of talk works well for Michael and doesn't do much for Fast.

Fortunately, Fast knew what was going on: "Louise City accepted our help, but Seahawk didn't want to give up, and Scarlet Witch said that if we helped them, we would fight together...... I'm sure this group of bad-brained pirates can do it. ”

The Red Witch is suspected of being a red dragon, or she is inextricably linked to the red dragon. Red dragons are like white dragons, and they cannot be understood logically.

"Then I'll talk to the Scarlet Witch......"

The portal vanished, and Fast made his way to the captain's quarters and knocked on the door.

"Who's out there?"

"Annan urged you to get up and do something, now."

It didn't take long for Francois to open the door with a coat: "What's wrong?" ”

"He's going to negotiate with the Scarlet Witch, so let's go over."

"Annan? Why don't you go? ”

"My mission is at a critical time." Fast said solemnly: "The fish here are completely different from Xingyue Bay...... They are unusually cunning. ”

"Okay......"

Francois sighed and said nothing, and let the new Initial docked in the harbor approach the pirate ship outside the harbor, take over the Nautilus, and lead the heavy horse onto the deck.

"Long time no see, beautiful Lady Scarlet."

"That sissy says you have a new collaboration? Join me in looting Louise City or buying stolen goods. ”

Annan kept smiling: "Actually, I suggest you give up looting Louis City and ......trade with them instead."

The Scarlet Witch laughed at Annan's suggestion, and the pirates on deck laughed as well. She shouted to her men, "What are we! ”

"Sea Eagle!"

"What is a sea eagle!"

"Pirates!"

The Scarlet Witch looked at Annan on the other side of the portal: "You let the pirates do business?" ”

"It's faster to do business than to grab money."

Slightly quiet, the Red Witch stared at Annan calmly: "This can't be ......"

"How much wealth do you get by plundering a port or a town? How much to pay? We make a devil's pact if your earnings fall below 500 jinnars...... Then the city of Louis is at your disposal. ”

As the first clever pirate, the Scarlet Witch had no reason to refuse. The next thing is that Annan calls his old friend Brudona and asks her to make a contract.

"In order to do business, you made a deal with the devil to make pirates a merchant!" The appearance of the devil pushes the emotions of the Red Witch to the peak: "You are more sea eagles than sea eagles!" ”

After settling the Scarlet Witch, Francois rushed to land to negotiate with Nicolas Hayes, the lord of Louise City.

"King of the North, I'm honored to meet you......"

"Hello, Nicholas Hayes. To put it simply, I hope you'll allow my crew and conscripted pirates to trade freely in Louise City. I will make sure that the pirates do not harm or plunder you. ”

"Just trade?"

"It's just trade."

……

"Hand over your money!"

A few vicious pirates surrounded the porters, who couldn't run.

The frightened porter took out more than two dozen copper coins from his pocket and cried: "That's all I have ......"

The pirates counted twenty copper coins, gave him a magical newspaper and the rest of the copper coins, and let him go. The rescued porter clutched the newspaper and watched in amazement as the pirates chased after the others......

The young nobleman, blocked by the pirates, pulled out his money bag from the goodness, and the pleasant clash of gold coins.

"He's got Kinnar!"

One of the pirates shouted, and the pirates picked up the young nobleman and ran towards the port.

"I paid the money, you can't do this! My father was—"

The gagged girl screamed and flinched: "I don't have any money...... Please spare me......" Then the pirates looked at each other and walked away in disgust.

The pirates traded in Louise City in their own way: stealing their money and stuffing them with goods.

The Cypriot newspapers with no money, the Cypriot newspapers with a few silver coins were kidnapped to the port, and they were shown "The Fall of the Mage's Tower" or "The Redemption of Bertal", and those with a few gold coins were stuffed with dozens of pounds of cement, and the rich merchants and nobles used Susan's spinning machine to block the door, and they didn't want to go in and out without paying for it—

Chaos spreads from the port to the entire city-state, and the horrified find that the guards are indifferent, not even allowing the professionals to clash with the pirates!

The key to getting the lord of the city, Nicholas Hayes, to fulfill his promise - they paid their business taxes normally.

"It's incredible...... Pirates are actually paying taxes......"

Nicholas Hayes looked at the city-state in chaos and the taxes that came in from time to time, with mixed emotions.

Equally mixed are the local population. At first, they were miserable because of the forced buying and selling, but because of the strength of the pirates, they did not dare to say anything, so they could only curse the guards for not doing anything...... Then, they discovered the value of spinning machines, magic newspapers, magic images.

Magical images they had barely heard of, and it was said that the aristocracy liked to use them to record their dirty deeds. Magic Newspaper ...... A magic item costs 20 copper coins? Did these pirates miscalculate?

In addition to collecting a lot of money from Louis, Annan paid some money - he bought all the slaves in the city.

The panic caused by the pirates subsided, and the hundreds of slaves caused fear among the locals, who watched so many people burrow into the cabin and never come out......

"That's business? That's great! ”

In the captain's room of the Nautilus, the Red Witch does not figuratively lie on a pile of gold coins - the suspicion that she is the Red Dragon adds a point.

After the first day, Susan Spinning Machine and Philosopher's Stone each "sold" dozens of units, "Xingyuewan News" "sold" thousands of copies, and even locals took the initiative to find pirates to buy the first few issues, but they didn't make as much money as the former.

According to the initial distribution, the Red Witch will get a quarter: for example, a magic newspaper 20 copper coins, 5 copper coins are hers.

It's better to share some benefits than to turn a puppet port into a pirate port - of course, the best outcome is a lose-lose situation, and Starmoon Bay will make more money - Annan can't do that kind of thing.

"Tomorrow to continue." Annan said. Louis City should be able to take it again...... Trade for two more days.

Back on the Original, Annan and Francois said they wanted them to continue south.

"There's your mistress there?" Fast asked.

"There's a nezumi clan that has just broken through to Teoro County, not far from the Obiris Strait. I need you to go over there, go inland along the bay, and explore the conditions over there. ”

It takes two years to walk from Starmoon Bay, a year to caravans, five to seven months to sail on a fine mount, and less than two months to sail.

It's still not fast, but it will get news before Olmedo.
