Chapter 621: "Love" from the Lord of the Storm

Hobert in "The Land of Disorder" retracted his gaze and couldn't help but sigh: Amon's doppelganger is still so fucked!

The aftermath of this hunt for Amon's clone was naturally handed over to Klein.

Hobert returns to the real world and uses his "travel" to Tutuga Port, which is still under major construction, to inspect the preparations here.

The whole port, which is already the size of a small city, is very bustling with people, all of whom are working for the casinos, auction houses, brothels and other establishments that have been built here, and they are essentially working for Hobart.

In the distance, the expanded harbor was filled with ships of all kinds, most of which were pirate ships, but they were not flying pirate flags.

There are only a few naval ships, and the docking here is a kind of surveillance of the pirates, as well as a deliberate observation of the port of Tutuca.

They didn't attack each other, they just watched each other.

They are all waiting for the opening of the port of Tutuga tomorrow.

Hobert walked around the harbor and heard the sound of Crane offering sacrifices to the Founders from the Land of Disorder.

He returned to the study of the Doge's Palace, entered the "Land of Disorder", opened the door to the sacrifice, and collected the six "Bugs of Time" that Crane had sacrificed, which were the spoils of war for the "Founder".

The hunt came to a great end.

After dark, Hobert and Furth arrived at Tutuga Harbour to make final preparations for tomorrow's opening.

A new week has begun, and the sky is gradually brightening on the side of Tutujia Port on Changwei Island, and with two banners being displayed in the port, Tutujia Port has officially reopened.

On the left side of the two banners read: Pirates can enjoy the rights of citizens in the port of Tutuca.

Written on the right is: The wealth deposited by the pirates in the bank of Tutuca, as well as all the assets purchased, are legal property.

Because I was afraid that some pirates would not know the words, I specially found some loud people to explain the meaning of the banner to the pirates.

Here's one of the more buzzing news that has been circulating in the berserk of the seas lately: pirates are legitimate citizens on Longtail Island.

At first, the pirates thought it was a conspiracy of the Navy or the Church of the Storm, but as more and more news spread about Longtail Island in the Furious Sea, the pirates knew that this was the domain of an earl, and that this was the earl's domain, which was very different from Rune's colony.

Gradually, many pirates ventured to find out, because many outlaws at sea wanted to find a safe and stable place to sell their stolen goods.

Not all pirates have a stable channel for selling stolen goods like the "pirate generals".

They are often surrounded by the navy when they sell their stolen goods, or they are deceived by profiteers.

The wealth that he desperately snatched had to be prevented from being robbed and stolen by his companions.

Although these people are heinous, they also want to find a safe place to recuperate, so that they can have a safe place to retire when they are old and can no longer be pirates.

There are no old people among the pirates, because they can't run, swim, or kill when they get old, so they can only be killed.

When the pirates heard the loud shouts coming from the docks, they did not act immediately, but chose to continue to wait and see.

It wasn't until the sun rose that the captain sent his men to the docks, and when some pirates cautiously left the docks, the horns around the docks suddenly sounded:

"What you need to know when you land on the island: although you have the rights that legal citizens should have, it does not mean that you can do whatever you want!

"It's just that if your life is in danger, or if you are robbed, stolen, etc., you can ask the security guards of the port or the official extraordinary person for help!

And those who hurt others, or do illegal acts, still have to be sanctioned and punished!

"It's equivalent to the crimes you committed at sea, we don't know about it, but the crimes committed here will definitely bear the corresponding responsibility!

“……”

These landing instructions are so straightforward that even pirates who have never been to school understand what they mean.

This made the pirates who landed on the island, or those who did not, breathe a sigh of relief, as if the information they had received before was more reliable.

Out of the docks, in front of the pirates were four neat streets, flanked by residential areas still under construction.

The main thoroughfare in the middle is the residence of various administrative agencies in the port, and after passing through the square, there are auction houses, pawn shops, banks, trading houses, and other places where stolen goods are sold and traded, as well as casinos and other entertainment venues.

On the left side of the street, there are a variety of bars, gourmet shops, large and beautiful brothels, and even department stores and other shopping and shopping areas.

Since the bar had not yet opened, the first pirates to land on the island were to the restaurants and roadside stalls, where they watched and tested.

But when the food came up, they didn't have time to test each other, and began to pull food into their mouths frantically.

In fact, the food they eat at sea is very coarse, even if they are on the shore of some islands, because they have to avoid being targeted by bounty hunters at any time, they do not dare to go to too high-end places, and they usually solve it in the bar.

The food in the bar is as good as you can imagine.

It's been a long time since these low-level pirates have eaten a decent meal.

And after Hobert had experience in the food court in South Coulson, the quality of the food provided was quite good.

The pirates themselves did not expect to eat and drink in the restaurant, and only when their stomachs were round did they lean back in their chairs and observe their surroundings.

They noticed that there were often staff members dressed in vigilante attire, patrolling the streets.

There were usually three of them, the one in the middle who looked older was armed with a gun, and the two younger ones on either side were armed with knives and clubs.

The vigilantes turned a blind eye to the feasting pirates and captured only two pirates who tried to flirt with the waitress, and someone followed from a distance and found that they had taken the two pirates to the courthouse!

The pirates who followed them also met the lord of the place, Hobert, and the mature and beautiful lady of the lord in the square of the "Central Avenue".

There was a small podium in the "central square" with a pergola on it, and Hobert sat on a wide chair at this time, quite majestic, as if looking down on the whole port, and the pirates did not dare to look at it.

The lord's wife on the side looked much more relaxed, sitting in a comfortable soft chair and reading a book. She also had a small table with tea and fruit on it.

By this time, the judge was in place, and the pirates' attention returned to the courthouse.

The courts on the other colonial islands were mostly decorations, but here the judges tried the two pirates in the open.

After hearing the complaint of the waitress, and after the pirates pleaded guilty on the spot, because the whole act of molestion was stopped at the beginning without serious consequences, the two pirates were sentenced to one month of labor reform, and each of them was compensated the waitress with 5 gold pounds.

Seeing this scene, the pirates were stunned, because they had seen the trials of pirates, without exception, all of them were death sentences!

This strengthened their belief in the publicity of Tutuca.

Soon several more pirates who were fighting were sent, and the judges tried them in turn, and it was also because their brawls were stopped at the beginning, so they were only sentenced to labor reform ranging from half a month to two months, compensation for the economic losses of the restaurant, and so on.

The pirates did not dare to stay here any longer because of Hobart's watchful eye, and they memorized the course of the trial, returned to the street where they had been, and rushed into the brothel in high spirits.

But when they entered, they were told that they could only choose the girls before they could take a shower, and they were told that it was okay to have fun, but not to beat the girls maliciously.

The pirates found the rules of the brothel here very strange, but the food and the trial had already made them realize that this place was different from the other islands, so they all followed the rules here and obediently went to bathe.

Sure enough, someone ignored the advice of the staff and beat up the girl, so another vigilante took the disheveled pirate away.

Some people who watched the excitement came back and said that the beautiful lord's wife actually interrogated the case herself, because the girl's face was bruised, so it was judged to be intentional injury.

In addition to the girl's medical expenses of 5 gold pounds, she will also be compensated for 10 pounds of lost work.

The street girl who got the 15 pounds was stupid, the judge and the sheriff really protected herself, no one looked at them with contempt or lewdness, on the contrary, a sheriff told her the direction of the hospital.

In the brothel, the pirates who were dancing and drinking with the girls didn't feel anything, they already knew that as long as they followed the rules of the port, they were safe.

And the rules of Tutujia Port will inform them in advance, and if they don't understand something, they can come forward and ask.

This gives this group of outlaws a full sense of security.

The street girls behind the brothel were crying, they were really protecting them, and if they were beaten, they would really punish the customers and get compensation.

In Beckland, this is something they could not have imagined.

Towards noon, the first pirates to land on the island went round the business district again, and then came back to feast, and one by one they returned to the harbor with their round bellies, and reported to the captains what they had seen and heard in the port of Tutuca.

The captains were not interested in how gentle the girls were or how special the food was, but they were more concerned about the prices of the port of Tutuca.

Judging from the cost of eating, prostituting, and buying daily necessities, the consumption here is not high, especially the daily necessities are very cheap!

Of course, in the eyes of the captains, it is very cheap, and the price here is twice as high as that of Beckland and 5 times that of South Coulson Jeffrey City!

Historically, most of the industrial products of the Furious Sea had been shipped from the Northern Continent, and the cost of transportation and customs duties had kept the price of goods high.

But most of these daily necessities sold in Tutujia Port are produced in South Coulson and Long Tail Island, and the orders placed from Beckland are also shipped from the "Traveler's Gate", with no customs duties and very little travel expenses!

So what seems to be a very cheap commodity for the captains is actually a blood money in the city hall of Long Tail Island!

At present, all the industries in the port of Tutujia are directly operated by the municipal government, and the reopening of the port has also opened up foreign investment in the port.

This is the only city in Hobart's territory that has fully opened up the business of foreign investment.

For example, Jeffrey City, although it can also attract foreign investment, but the industries that can be invested are limited, and first of all, it does not accept any investment in agriculture.

South Coulson is now the granary, vegetable and fruit base of the entire "founder" force, and agriculture there is to be completely controlled by the city government.

Only some industrial investment and commercial investment have been opened, and now there are institutions such as banks to settle in, but because of their small size, the city government will not open some pillar industries such as hotels at all.

The situation of Longwei Island is that it is not suitable for opening up now, otherwise the natives here are not the opponents of those merchants at all, and will be harvested by waves of merchants.

That's why on Changwei Island, only foreign investment in Tutujia Port is fully opened.

After the first pirates returned to the port to report, at noon the captains began to disembark one after another.

They were more concerned with the banks and the trading houses, and as they passed through the "central square", they were also intimidated by the majesty that Hobart exuded.

Every pirate who passed by here unconsciously saluted the earl before heading for his destination.

Hobert's mere sitting here is the greatest deterrent to these pirates.

The pirates first went to the bank and learned about the bank's business, and one of the pirates tried to deposit a sum of money, and they were given a deposit certificate with an anti-counterfeiting design.

Then they tried to take it out, and sure enough, they did it immediately, which gave them a lot of comfort.

However, some pirates who have accumulated savings still do not dare to deposit all their savings in the bank, and they plan to save only a part of the money, wait and see, and wait for a while to try again.

However, in the face of the publicity of the bank manager, some pirates still changed their minds and deposited all their property in the bank, because the bank has launched a "inheritance return" service.

Assets deposited in the bank can be designated as one heir, and two heirs in line can be appointed, as long as the address, name, appearance characteristics, etc. of the heirs are clearly written, and the withdrawal date agreed with the depositor is overdue for three years, and no one has received it, it will automatically enter the "estate repatriation" service.

If the designated heir is residing in Long Tail Island and South Coulson, only a 5% service fee will be charged on the deposit.

If you live in a large city on the North and South Continents, a 15% service fee will be charged for deposits.

If you live in a traffic jam or if it takes more than 1 month to find an heir, a service fee of 20% to 30% will be charged.

Many people go to sea to give their families a better life, they are pirates who kill people without blinking, they are villains who do all kinds of evil, but many of them are also fathers and husbands.

It was precisely because the banks of Tutuca Harbor captured the pirates' mentality that they launched such a service, which was quite popular with many pirates.

Then the pirate captains went to the trading house, where they listened to the staff explain the details of the transaction.

There are two types of transaction services here, one is the public transaction, where you can hand the information of the items you want to trade to the staff in the form of a slip of paper and post it on the information wall.

If you don't want to reveal information about your appearance, there are also small meeting rooms with secret entrances where you can negotiate and wait for a while to leave, or wait for the next day to post the information on the wall.

There is a £3 service charge for this service, and with the receipt you can stay free for 3 days at the Sea Breeze Lodge on the left, and 6 soles a day if you continue to stay after 3 days.

If you can't find a buyer for a long time, you can choose to go to a pawn shop to make a deal with the city government.

Or entrust the trading bank to find a buyer, the commission fee is a service fee of 10% to 30% of the final transaction amount, and the standard of charging the service fee is determined by the difficulty and time of storage of the traded items.

The next time a pirate who has chosen this service comes to Tutuca, the trader will settle the gold pounds with the pirate.

Another type of transaction is a private transaction, which is a service prepared for large transactions.

For example, if a cargo ship is robbed, and the shipping company does not mean to pay the ransom, then there must be a process of selling the stolen goods.

This is also a headache for some powerful pirates, but there is no support behind them: there is no safe environment for selling stolen goods.

Many pirates were invincible in battles at sea, but died in the process of selling the stolen goods.

Then the trading house provided them with an environment in which the stolen pirates could guarantee their safety in Tutuga for a service fee of £100 each time they borrowed the premises of the trading house.

You can also simply trade with the city council, and the £100 service fee can be waived.

Many pirates have tried to make some big deals with the city government, and the price offered by the city government is certainly much lower than the market price, but the pirate captains are generally satisfied with the price.

So the tentative trade turned into a real deal.

But these deals could not be completed immediately, as the pirates had to sail the hidden merchant ships here.

After reaching an intention to make a deal, the staff of the trading house announced a new rule: if none of the crew members of the merchant ship died. If it is delivered here with a merchant ship, the price will be increased by 30% of the current pricing standard.

If three or fewer crew members die, it can also be added by 20%.

If more than three to less than half of the crew died, only one percent more can be given, and if "half" is less than three, it will be counted as less than three people.

And if none of the crew survives, the next transaction price will be two percent lower than the current standard.

This regulation made the captains who initiated the transaction stunned for a long time, and they felt that the rules here were really peculiar.

The captains went to visit the auction house and the pawn shop, which was actually a split between the previous auction house, the pawn shop was responsible for collecting things, and the auction house was responsible for selling the collected things.

Outside the auction house, there is a list of today's lots, the first day's lot shocked the pirates, among them was a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of the "Wind Favorer", and the finale was a magical item corresponding to Sequence 6, which is a level 2 seal!

This level of goods is very rare in extraordinary gatherings, especially the trade between pirates, and it is easy to encounter black and black transactions at this level.

Everyone felt the power of Hobert in the central square, his strength was the most powerful guarantee in the transaction process, and the pirates were more at ease in the transaction with the auction house, and it seemed that they had found a new channel for promotion.

Many pirates sighed that this seems to be a city specially designed for pirates! It's a pirate paradise entirely.

But the premise is that the rules here must be observed, otherwise it will be a few months or even years of labor reform, and more than three years of labor reform will involve the confiscation of property, which means that after the labor reform is over, it is likely that there will be nothing!

In the afternoon, the port gradually became lively, and the pirates basically had no worries, and they all left the pirate ship and came to the port.

Hobert, who had been sitting in the square for most of the day, yawned, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and in a while he would return to the Doge's Palace with Foirth for the tarot meeting.

Hobert was about to take a sip of tea from his teacup, when his hands were stretched out, but he suddenly looked at the sea.

Low in the sea off the coast of Long Tail Island, space suddenly becomes illusory, and a huge ship floats out of it.

The pirates and all the people in the city stopped talking and laughing almost at the same time, and looked at the sea together, and Angus and Elliott immediately rushed out, but soon they also looked at the sea with a few of their men.

When the giant ship completely came out of the spirit realm, everyone felt a huge pressure, and many people had the urge to kneel.

Hobert first used the "twisted" force to send Furth into the bank, and then he "tampered" with his own gravity and gravity, and slowly flew into the air of the city.

As soon as he raised his hand, he "twisted" the tremendous pressure emanating from the giant ship, and the people in the harbor breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

Although the flag of the giant ship has not yet been raised, Hobart has realized that it should be the "Black Emperor"!

To Hobert's surprise, on the huge mottled stone chair in front of the "Black Emperor" sat a huge young man, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, very delicate, and seemed to be somewhat immature.

This is none other than Erres who captured the Black Emperor!

Hobert didn't know what was going on with Nast, but when he saw Eris, he basically understood what was going on.

This surprised him a little, after all, Eris had only been at the level of Sequence 4 before, and Nast was a "mad mage", how did he capture the "Black Emperor"?

Hobart was almost certain that there must have been a helper.

With a wave of his hand, the huge Eris suddenly turned into a giant wave seven or eight meters high, heading towards the harbor.

The sudden wave made the pirates who stayed behind exclaim, such a huge wave would not be too dangerous at sea, but in the port, the ships were docked so densely, and being slapped by the waves was enough for the pirate ships to knock each other out of a big hole.

But when the waves were about to enter the port, there was a "whoosh" and suddenly subsided.

This made the exclamated pirates not know how to react for a moment.

Of course, the waves ended early with Hobert's ability to "use", and he originally thought that the Witch Church or the "Rose School" could send someone to disrupt the situation today, but what he didn't expect was that it was this kid who came.

Hobert, of course, would not get used to him, only to see him open his arms: "The great king of the sky, the emperor of the sea;

"Scourge Monarch, God of the Storm......"

Hearing Hobert's pious chanting, not only Eris was stunned, but also the pirates who were watching the harbor were also stunned.

Shouldn't this be the time to rush forward and fight the enemy? Why do you remember the honorific name of "Lord of the Storm"?

Hobert's chanting continues: "...... Your devout reverent, I have a very important report to you:

"Above the sea, in your realm, there is an evil god attacking innocent people, revealing his evil nature......

Eris twitched the corners of his mouth: "This is shameless slander!" ”

At this time, the port of Tutujia suddenly became cloudy, and the sea breeze also howled.
