Chapter 488: Pirate Island
"Captain, we can go to Pirate Island."
The navigator pondered for a moment before giving his opinion, they were now located in the new route south of the king, and Pirate Island was at the junction of the kingdom and the imperial seas, and was the largest international underground market in the Old Continent, controlled by five Sanctuary-level giants.
According to rumors, the Pirate King is only one of their identities, and even the mystic in it can already be identified as the second prince of the empire, after the failure of industrial reform, the empire fell into turmoil, the old emperor executed the sage and lived in the deep palace for a long time, and the fierce internal struggle broke out the secret that shocked all parties.
"Yes, but it's a little dangerous." Dudis hesitated, and from here he traveled along the Radical Current to Pirate Island, and then directly to the Duke's Colony, and if all went well, the journey was only two or three days longer than expected, and less than the deadline set by the chairman.
"Two hundred and thirty people, about seven or eight thousand gold coins." The navigator advised him that slaves in the New World were relatively cheap, but that the market price of the freedmen in the Old World was generally the average annual wage of the local workers, and that this was too lucrative for him to take a lot.
The first mate who came to check the loss rate of the "cargo" glanced at the navigator, although he didn't like this guy, but I have to say that no one would have a hard time with the gold coin.
"Captain, sailing at full speed may be able to converge normally, we have extra sails and masts." The first mate said, pointing to the sails of the converted merchant ship.
"So be it." Dudis nodded in agreement.
The employees quickly looted, Jiang Yuan, as a senior auditor, and the logistics team carried out accurate statistics, because there were not many valuable goods, except for the stowaways, the value of the harvest was only about 3,000 gold coins, mainly from artillery, guns and the personal belongings of the backbone.
Jiang Yuan openly removed the Fillens brand gold watch on the wrist of the leader of the merchant ships, which was hard currency and gold texture in the kingdom, and before that, the first mate had already taken away the first-level Force gun equipped by the leader, and as for the extraordinary characteristics of the unbalanced guard that was precipitated after the young man in the dress was killed, it belonged to Captain Dudis.
As night falls, the Deep Silence re-enters the aggressive currents and follows a complex web to Pirate Island.
Jiang Yuan discounted his twenty percent share, and then counted the income from the thirty-four guards, a total of 920 gold coins, almost half of the annual income of the Reinhet family, and this was just the extra speed of a normal voyage.
Back in the room, the two-colored moonlight reflected on the sea could be seen from the round window, the forbidden furnace was raised, and someone began to refine the goldstone, the essence of which was similar to the refining technique of alchemy, and it was not difficult for him.
After consuming two hundred gold coins, a piece of gold stone that can be used ten times is refined, and after filling it into the armor, with a clear buzz, this equipment regains its combat effectiveness.
Jiang Yuan took out the Glory Hunter Force Gun to disassemble, and unsurprisingly encountered a protective self-detonation device when he was close to the completion of the split, and the core matrix was the craftsmanship of the craftsmen, so he was naturally reluctant to leak it, but he had a broad vision.
Glory Hunter: Wound tear, bone blow.
Construct Armor: Great Force.
The three artisan matrices are truly presented in front of you.
Jiang Yuan groaned slightly, due to the limitation of materials, he chose to imitate the giant power matrix, completely extracted the essence of the related technology, and copied it on the back of his right hand in equal proportions, combined with the alchemy flesh and blood technique, and finally formed a silver-white lion head tattoo, but the body of the apprentice knight also encountered the limit of bearing.
At this point, when the armor is unfurled, he will be blessed with double power.
……
Six days later, the Silence of the Deep was guided by its navigator to the seas where the Kingdom and the Empire meet.
A few hours after detouring off course, an island so large that it could almost be seen as land appeared at the end of the line of sight.
On the deck, Jiang Yuan looked to the other side of the sea, the island in front of him was just an unfixed mirage, after the illusory level was raised, the "signal receiving station" of the consciousness projector was also strengthened, and the scope of expanding the field of vision had been expanded to a radius of thousands of miles, and the friendly communication opposite to malicious detection was successfully loaded.
In the panoramic map in front of you, the mark representing the navigator turns a flame-like orange red, which symbolizes that the breeding of malice will affect you.
"There was no ambush?"
The pirate island has never completely forbidden fighting, because none of the five pirate kings want the light of [order] to shine here to prevent the sworn enemy of the Order Church, but the chaos is not suitable for the development of the underground economy, so the battle venues are completely random.
In this regard, Jiang Yuan is noncommittal, under the iron law of the theocracy of the true God, complete randomness is actually a kind of order, as for why the Church of Order can't get the favor of the gods in this regard, probably just because he doesn't care, pirates are the enemies of the Church of Order, but not the enemies of [Order], people always misinterpret oracles, and the reason why they don't punish this kind of misinterpretation is probably because it doesn't matter.
After all, man can only be a tool man when he is used as an instrument, and the same is true of the church, although it is high above the earth.
Guided by the navigator's intuition, the Deep Silence managed to find its exact position, and as it sailed to a certain border, the hidden barrier was breached, revealing an island covered in black fog.
The black fog is always in an irregular state of flow and rise, and no one cares about how it fights, and as a compensation to some extent, Pirate Island has no concept of taxation, and the rotating Pirate King team is also obliged to resist the navies of various countries.
The Deep Sea Silence enters the port, and Doudis orders all employees to enter the battle queue, and the black fog does not know when it will strike, in that case, the same in the black fog are all enemies.
"Go and talk about business, the bottom line is 7,500 gold coins, let the buyer come and get the goods, and the main force will not go ashore."
"Yes." The first mate replied, turned around and picked four gunmen to get off the ship, the power of white powder also poses a certain threat to the knight, and even if this is a pirate island, the knight level is not all over the ground.
"I'm going to buy detailed information and potions for Sequence VIII Xenomorphs." Jiang Yuan said that the ceremony also takes time to prepare.
Dudis hesitated for a while, but finally took off the two money bags on his waist and threw them over, "Eight hundred, your potion seems to have to use the heart of a dark creature, that thing is not common now, if you can be promoted, you have to officially join the combat sequence." ”
"So generous, then another four hundred." A trace of inexplicable regret flashed in Jiang Yuan's eyes.
Dudis expressionlessly pulled out a bag of gold coins from his coat pocket, slammed them on someone's shoulder, and said word by word, with a fierce gaze:
"Pirates are not in the habit of paying back, but remember that you are a gentleman."
Jiang Yuan bowed his head calmly, then pulled out the glory hunting finger on his waist and pointed at the navigator who was in the eavesdropping range not far away.
The trigger was pulled, the Force bullet burst, and the white light pierced through the thick deck after shooting through the target's thigh, and the sharp pain of the wound tearing and shattering bones made the navigator scream, this was the weapon used to hunt the big beasts.
"Bastard, what are you doing!?" Dudis was furious.
"You bought your life, so the money won't be returned."
