III.. Linden City
"Thou hast been whined in the cold night of the north,
I kill like hemp in the southern sun. ”
Li Site tampered with the lyrics, hoping that there would be more money in the underground bank's treasury, and if there were three hundred golden dragons, at least half a year would be able to live a special nourishment and be able to be in the Heavenly Harbor.
"Please, don't fix your native dialect."
Wren listened to it like a fight, and he cried with disgust like eating lemons, and spoke an unknown language even though List's singing skills were already very poor, and he was extremely beaten.
"When it's over, will you stay in Linden City for a while, or will you go back to Heavenly Harbor?"
Oakes cut to the chase, everyone on the ship has a wanted warrant for life or death, and the Black Sails Pirates are famous, and List's bounty is even more heavyweight, and he sometimes wants to kill him.
It may not be long before the bounty hunters smell the smell, but after a long time, things will change, and the sea will be safer, so it is better to return to the port of heaven as soon as possible.
"Well...... this"
Li Shi squeezed his chin and pondered.
About 12,000 nautical miles off the east coast of the Principality of Pema is a vast island called the Port of Heaven, which is not particularly auspicious, and another is called the "Pirate Republic".
Harbor Heaven can be moored free of charge for any ship in any weather, making it a beloved hideaway for pirates and raiders.
In the year 1274 of the Holy Aramanian calendar, the empire swung its army to the east, the Battle of Jubi defeated the Kingdom of Pema, the defense line collapsed, and the Yellow Dragon was smashed.
The king was trapped in a lonely city and defeated himself, only wishing not to slaughter the city and his people, and his sister-in-law Philip VI knew that he had no way to return to heaven and had to surrender, and went to the Aran imperial capital to negotiate peace but was brutally trapped in the imperial palace.
In the end, he supported the distant relatives of the royal family of Pema, who could not be beaten by eight poles, to be the puppet king, and the kingdom of Pema was changed to a principality.
It was supposed to end there, but the Aram Emperor was extremely ambitious.
Felling trees and building ships, forging swords in metallurgy, continuing the crusade to the East, and even attempting to conquer the Far Eastern Islands, which together are even more terrifying than the already vast Western Continent.
At first, the port of heaven was built as a military fortress and used as a front-line base for stockpiling supplies, but the battle line was too long, and the sea baggage could not keep up with the consumption, even if the landing battle was successful, it also invaded and conquered several countries as a bridgehead, but under the advantages of the other, after the combined army was pulled up, the Aran emperor was defeated and retreated, and the crusade came to an end.
Later, the port of heaven was transformed into a commercial port, but due to the distance, the emperor could not reach it, and he did not expect that the puppet prince who supported him also had a backbone, and urged several times to station troops in this place to no avail, and was soon occupied by lawless navigators.
For many years, thanks to the emperor's construction in this area, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the port of heaven was a stronghold of pirates, raiders, and wrecked sailors, who made the port of heaven notorious, also known as the "pirate republic".
They often forge "lighthouses" on isolated islands and cliffs in the eastern seas, lure ships to the rocks, and then loot cargo.
Li Si Te ......
is one of them.
Deep in the blue sky, black sails fluttering.
Gold and silver treasures, bloody blades sonorous.
Burning, killing and looting, without a god.
Shaohua is fleeting...... All of them are wine and meat.
This is Lisst's life.
"Let's talk about getting the money, I can't stay on the shore for too long, my deal with the sheriff here is time-limited, no more than a week at most."
After thinking about it, Li Si first stabilized Oakes, knowing that he was a cautious and meticulous person, and that Oakes had never taken over anything wrong, not once, so he was made to be the helmsman, equivalent to the position of the second officer, and the rest of the people had more or less done a bad job.
He is also ready to add some sailors, the last time he recruited people, he recruited a two or five boys who ate the gall of a leopard, and he was ready to rob his own boat, dozens of fugitives from all over the world were encouraged to mutiny, but fortunately, the first mate and Ox Rennes, the characters of the hundred-man enemy, were able to hold on, and all of them were killed and fed to the fish, as for the leader, Rennes was the old torture king.
After this incident, in addition to the ten main members, the rest of the people also ran away after going ashore, and now the flow of funds is difficult, and they are eager to recruit manpower, and Xia Di, the king of ideas on the east coast, has come up with this unique trick of eating two fish and two fish.
Over the years, Liszt has recruited countless people, among whom many have died, only the hardest one has become the core backbone until now, with extremely high combat power, and he can set up a stick wherever he goes, and he can speak well, but he is an outlaw who has no place to live like himself, so he goes to the sea to "do business".
"Arrive at the highest city on the East Coast! Linden City! ”
Wren erupted in indecipherable cheers.
Li Shi frowned, Wren is a psychopath at the same time, he is also a scholar, and he also orders food in restaurants to see what others eat, and the dark red leather coat with a style is also taken off the body of a fashion trendyman.
The members of the ship also learned some oral fetish.
Li Shi didn't know why these words could still prevail in another world, probably because of the high generality, and the semantics were extended to the extreme in the current context.
Linden City is a bay with a small tidal range on the east coast, and the harbor is a natural haven with deep water, backed by foothills and full of greenery.
The blue sky is surrounded by seabirds, the open grass outside the city is verdant and fertile, the road is full of traffic, and the merchants and vendors are bustling, most of them are dressed simply, like priests and knights, or wealthy dignitaries, there is a special passage, and there will be no here.
The walls are all gray stone, impermeable, about ten meters high, with many guard towers, and the entrance checkpoint is guarded by fully armed armor guards with spears.
In the context of rampant illegal organizations in the coastal areas, the law has become strict.
Adventure parties and merchants had to show a document with the guild's seal before they could enter the city, and even farmers who sold crops needed a certificate from the local town officials.
The entrance was bustling with activity, with guards stopping groups of people to review documents.
The long queue of exchanges was in full swing, extremely noisy, there were people of all races, there was no shortage of characters such as adventurers and mercenaries with sharp weapons, and they were also tall and big, with poor faces, who came to the developed coastal areas to beg for food.
Oakes and Wren are also visible at a glance in the tall pile, and there are reasons for the racial advantage, but it's not big, even if the two are placed in their race, they are ridiculously high, and they are in charge of things.
A group of three people walked by, the dangerous aura could not be concealed, people consciously got out of the way, although they were dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to say anything, let alone face the right eye.
Li Shi Te didn't have time to be stupid, so he queued up to get tested.
At the front of the line, a muscular red-haired adventurer was showing the documents of the adventurer's guild, and Oaks didn't want to wait for a second, so he pushed this person away, and almost overturned him with great force, staggering down several steps and squatting down to support the ground with his hands on the ground before he didn't fall.
This man was the leader of an adventuring group, and his eyes were about to attack when he searched for the person pushing him.
Oakes seemed to notice it, and glanced at it casually, and the adventure leader didn't dare to move immediately after seeing it clearly, staring at the extra-large sword on Oakes' back that was three hundred pounds up, but he didn't speak, and held back.
There was anger in the eyes of several of his party members, and one of the archers was about to draw an arrow from his back pocket, confident that he would be able to shoot the big man through the eye and head with one arrow, but was stopped by the adventure leader and shook his head at the archer.
When the guard saw the three of them, they were dangerous people at first glance, and they were all a little familiar, as if they had seen them somewhere, but he didn't dare to stop them, and he didn't dare to let people in like this, so he quickly called the captain of the guards.
The sheriff of Linden City said hello, and the captain of the guard knew the reason for it, so he didn't say anything after he came, but there were so many people outside, and he had to make a show and let Li Si show what he meant.
List: "......"
But there really wasn't anything like paper or leather scrolls.
Li Shi put his hand into the breastplate and groped for a while, and this was the only one.
The captain of the guards was stupid when he saw what Li Si Te showed, Li Si Te showed his own wanted warrant, although the bandit on the portrait and he himself did not match in terms of details, but they were also quite expressive, and it could be seen that it was a person.
"Enter...... Let's go inside. ”
The captain of the guard frowned and did not pursue it.
A group of three people blatantly entered Linden City.
"Commander, why didn't you just let me shoot him with an arrow? That is, he is tall and has brute strength. ”
The archer was a little angry, and he was originally going to come to Linden City to make some fame, but as soon as he arrived at the place, he suffered a dumb loss.
The head of the adventure group also felt a little guilty, and after a while, he swallowed it and explained: "I made some preparations before coming here, and asked the shippers who are familiar with this place if there is anything to pay attention to, and who should not be messed with, they are members of the Black Sail Pirate Regiment, and the nearby coast is notorious, so don't get involved." ”
"Black Sails Pirates...... Kind of familiar, wait, isn't that the pirate gang that killed the Lord of Blue Bay Harbor's family two months ago? ”
A swordsman thought about it, but he heard that the family of the lord of Lanwan Harbor was not a good man or a woman, they were all members of a certain cult, and they used children's blood sacrifices or something, this matter was very happy, and the reputation of this pirate group was mixed.
"How is it possible, after committing such a thing, you can still swagger into the city?"
The archers inadvertently raised their voices a little loudly, and they couldn't believe that the guards were blind.
"Be quiet." The head of the adventure group whispered: "Linden City is a big city, an important outlet to the sea of the principality, not a fief directly under anyone, the forces are complicated, and the nobles and lords inside are probably fighting each other quite fiercely, and they need to find outsiders to do things." ”
"I see."
The swordsman suddenly realized that these inspections only stopped the small fish and shrimp with criminal records outside, so as not to make the city a mess of porridge and delay making money, and the real ruthless corner can be appreciated by the noble lord and get a piece of cake, and the water in it seems to be a little deep.
The archer was silent for a while, but he was still a little unconvinced, and added: "What is this, when we become famous and become palace-level adventurers, these pirates and bandits are just minions." ”
The adventure leader smiled bitterly, it is a good thing to have this kind of volunteering, there are so many capable people on the East Coast, and it is not easy for such a chaotic place to be a little famous.
"Palace-level adventurer, I hope so."
The head of the regiment said no more, took out the guild's certificate, and continued to accept the inspection honestly.
