In the separate transaction between "The Emperor" Hobart and "Star" Leonard, Hobart thought for a moment before saying, "Based on some of the inside information I have learned, we can provide two solutions.

"The first method is that the 'Founder' provided a one-time magical item, an angel of the 'lawyer' path who is not in a good state, and used the 'distortion' of order and concepts within a certain area, well, about dozens of kilometers, so that he can temporarily return to his full state, which can last for about fifteen minutes.

"I don't know the ability to 'deceive', can I use that item to 'deceive' rules and concepts?"

Leonard was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask how do you know that angel has the ability to "deceive"?

But he also thought that in the battle against Amon's clone that had just ended, the old man had made a move in front of the "founder", and the old man's "parasite" in his body could not hide from the "founder".

"The second option is to make a high-level charm." Hobert said: "This spell has a high-level 'amplification' ability, this method is relatively simple, but it may last less than ten seconds. ”

At present, Hobert uses the power of the "State of Disorder" to make some spells of the "Black Emperor" path to the angel level.

It's just that he needs black iron of excellent color and angel-level spiritual materials, which are too expensive for him to do so.

Now that Hobert encounters an angel-level enemy, he can escape with a level 0 seal, and there is no need for a spell of this level.

Leonard nodded and said, "I know, I will convey these two methods to the angel, and we will communicate with each other specifically." ”

Hober nodded, "Okay." ”

"So, at what cost?"

Hobert said: "What the specific price will be, I will report to the 'founder' and then tell you." ”

In fact, the "founder" has already thought about it, an angel-level help!

"I'll contact you again if there's any interest in trading." Leonard said in a more relaxed tone.

He expected the old man to agree to such a deal, but wondered if he would be able to use the first method?

As for the second method, it lasts a little less, and it can still be useful in an emergency, if it is slightly delayed for 10 seconds, the time is fleeting.

"Okay."

The one-on-one communication between the two ended.

This is the end of the trading session, and the exchange session begins.

"The Hanged Man" Alger said first, "I heard that the 'King of the Five Seas' Nast is missing, and the 'Black Emperor' has changed hands. ”

"I've heard something similar." The "Hermit" Gadelia, who was also at sea, said: "I also learned some other news, the second officer of the 'Black Emperor', Bird Mastan, escaped by chance.

"According to him, Nast is dead, killed by an unknown force.

"The person who took over the 'Black Emperor' called himself Eris, and for unknown reasons, suddenly began to attack the forces of the 'Mysterious Queen'."

Alger nodded: "I also heard that a large-scale naval battle has broken out between the two 'kings'. ”

"Yes." Gardelia said, "Many of Nast's subordinates took advantage of this opportunity to escape. ”

That little boy can also "fight monsters and upgrade" by himself, which is something that Hobert didn't expect, and he originally planned to finish the affairs of Longtail Island, so he began to look for the little boy and light the sky lantern with him.

For now, this plan can only be put on hold for a while.

Hobert said to Alger and Gadelia, "I know the new owner of the Black Emperor that he is the boy I wanted before. ”

The other members looked at the "Emperor" together, and successively recalled the wanted notice issued by the "Emperor" before.

Jadeia said, "I remember you said, that is a doppelganger of an evil god? ”

"That's right," Hobart said, "he's dangerous, tell the Mystic Queen to be careful of the mist he's unleashed, even demigods are susceptible to contamination."

"If it is polluted, let her pray to the 'founder' immediately."

"I'll pass it on." Gadelia said seriously, and she suddenly realized that the enemy that the "Queen" had encountered this time was very powerful.

"World" asked again: "I remember you said that the little boy seems to only have the level of sequence 4?" ”

"Before." Hobert replied, "But after he killed Nast, he should have devoured the extraordinary characteristics of this 'King of the Five Seas', and now he has the level of Sequence 3."

"As for the forces that support him, it should be our enemies, the Tamara family."

Everyone has an impression of this Tamara family, but it doesn't seem to be a very active and extraordinary family.

At the same time, everyone noticed that the "Emperor" used the term "our enemy" to describe the Tamara family, which means that it was the enemy of the entire "founder" force!

Klein went so far as to wonder if the Tamara family was in possession of the "lawyer" pathway, or the potion of the adjacent pathway. So it is the hostile force of the "founder"?

Of the members present, apart from Hobert, only "Magician" Firth knew some inside information about the Tamara family, but she didn't need that information for this topic, so she didn't plan to announce it.

Hobart said: "I suggest that after any member gets the relevant information about Eris, don't think about solving it by himself, and report it to the Orthodox God Church immediately."

"For this kind of evil god incident, the Orthodox God Church will definitely attach great importance to it."

He smiled and said, "But I don't think that guy will appear again for a while, because I just fought him at sea, and he was seriously injured and will not recover for a while."

"And my way of dealing with Eris is to report it to the Church of the Storm immediately."

In the end, Hobert said meaningfully: "The matter at sea is still to be solved by the Storm Church." ”

Klein said that he was quite proficient in reporting, and silently praised Hobert's operation in his heart.

Alger, however, always had the illusion that his church was being taken advantage of.

Gadelia smiled helplessly: Isn't it appropriate to report to the Storm Church as a "pirate general"?

Firth thought back to the battle that had just ended in the port of Tutuca: it turned out that the giant ship was the "Black Emperor", and the person on the giant ship was Eris?

Then she thought as if she realized it later: I didn't see Hobart report it? I only vaguely heard him recite the honorific name of the "Lord of the Storm...... Uh, that's not how he reported it, right?

Leonard started a new topic: "Rune's royal advisor, Herwin Lambis, is dead, and after our investigation, it was revealed that he is most likely a member of the Psychological Alchemy Society. ”

Saying this, he looked at the "Justice" Audrey, and it was not difficult to see from the previous meeting that this Miss Justice was also a member of the Psychological Alchemy Society.

Audrey replied, "Herwin is one of the members of the Psychological Alchemy Society's jury. ”

Leonard then asked, "Why was he killed?" Is there any inside story about his death? ”

Why was he killed? Audrey felt a little helpless in her heart: because she hypnotized me?

She seemed to think about it for a second or two before she said, "Because he deviated from the original intention of the Psychological Alchemy Society." ”

Audrey always felt that the Psychological Alchemy Society should be an academic organization, and among the members she met, only Herwin was an outlier, so it must be that Herwin had deviated from her original intention.

Leonard was stunned: "He was dealt with internally by you?" ”

Audrey glanced at Hobert out of the corner of her eye before saying, "No, it's because he deviated from his original intention that he brought disaster to himself." ”

Leonard asked, "Have you found out who did it?" ”

Audrey replied with a smile: "Because I am not yet a high-level member of the Psychological Alchemy Society, I don't know the specific progress. ”

Hobart didn't tell Audrey that Adam had sent Herwin to deliver something, and as a result, he himself was left behind, and his death was not a secret.

Because Audrey didn't know this, her first thought was to hide the assassination process for Hobert.

Leonard nodded, "Thank you for your answer." ”

Audrey continued the subject: "I met with Herwin Lambis last week, and he tried to give me a hint and ask me to gather some information for him.

"Fortunately, with the help of Mr. Fool, he protected me in advance with the 'Angel's Embrace'.

"But I suddenly thought of a question these days, will the Orthodox Church also have a certain amount of monitoring, mastery and guidance for some nobles with important status?"

Alger laughed, "Isn't that a normal thing?" To live in human society, we must accept a certain amount of monitoring, mastery and guidance!

"I understand what you're afraid of, but if you think about it, what is the essential difference between mastering and guiding with a position of power, money, and guns, and similar actions with extraordinary abilities?

"It makes no difference in essence between a person who knows he doesn't want to do it but has to do it, and one who doesn't even have the idea of not wanting to do it."

Audrey immediately nodded and said, "This is exactly the problem I have thought of these days, doesn't this mean that even the soul and mind are free of freedom!" It's a terrifying thing. ”

Hobert wanted to say something, but he didn't open his mouth after all, and there were some things that the "hanging man" told Audrey that it was a better choice.

Alger laughed again: "How can there be absolutely free souls and thoughts? If you choose faith and philosophy, you will naturally be bound by faith and ideas.

"But don't worry too much, the church doesn't use some dastardly means to control the congregation like the covert organization.

"As far as the Kingdom of Rune is concerned, the juxtaposition of the three major churches, coupled with the presence of the royal family, forms a counterweight to each other, and if the Storm Church does too much to an important believer, that believer can completely switch to the Church of the Night.

"So, for the most part, the Orthodox Church is more inclined to use religious status and conviction to guide important believers than extraordinary abilities."

Checks and balances!

Audrey pondered the word, as if suddenly she had a new understanding of the king's upper circles.

Only then did she recall that she had actually been exposed to these things in the past, but she had not thought deeply about them at the time.

Audrey replied sincerely, "Thank you for your answer, Mr. Hangman." ”

Immediately afterwards, Gadelia started a new topic, or she asked the "Emperor" directly: "I heard the news that the original Kate Port on Longtail Island has been renamed Tutujia Port, and will recognize pirates as legitimate citizens?" Is this a trap for pirates? ”

Klein twitched the corners of his mouth: Tutujia Harbor? Pirate Paradise? This must be Hobert's handiwork!

"It's a trap." Hobart smiled.

Cordelia was about to sigh "sure enough", but Hobert continued: "But for pirates, this is not necessarily a way out. ”

"Can you elaborate on what the trap is?" ”

Originally, he also wanted to tell the "emperor" to go there to have a look, but because he received a mission from the church, he had to give up this plan.

Hobert begins with the port of Tutuca's policy towards pirates, and continues with the protection of pirate property, the business of banks and trading houses, and finally the real estate business, which the pirates did not notice at this time.

Members like "Sun" Derick and "Moon" Emlyn, who don't know much about pirates, don't even hear any traps at all? It's a convenience for pirates!

Although all countries are doing this, they are not as thorough as the port of Tutuca, because countries still have to fight piracy once in a while to maintain their image.

Therefore, there is no trust between pirates and other countries at all, and the port of Tutuga is obviously establishing a relationship of relative trust with pirates!

But Gardelia and the rest of the members who knew about pirates understood what Hobart was talking about as a trap.

Alger lamented, "The pirates' wealth will quickly flow into the port of Tutuca. ”

The Tempest Sea connects the colonies with the northern continent, and there is a huge amount of wealth here, and the appearance of Tutuga Harbor will definitely form a vortex of wealth, and a lot of wealth will flow there.

For example, the pirates have gold pounds in Tutujia Harbor, and I believe that Hobert can't just let them get moldy there, right?

And Alger knew very well that some of the wealth that was not very valuable in the Tempest Sea would be worth several times when it came to the North or South Continent.

For example, if a shipload of gold ore is intercepted at sea, it is considered to be stones in the eyes of pirates, and it will not be sold for a good price.

But if you collect it at a low price, as long as you refine it roughly, and even the purity of the refining does not need to be very high, the value can increase by at least twenty times!

Another example is the interception of a shipload of porcelain tableware, when the pirates sell the stolen goods, they can't sell it for a few dollars, but if it is transported to the Southern Continent, the value will increase by at least ten times!

It is precisely because of such huge profits that even though it is dangerous to go to sea, so many people still go to sea to find opportunities.

Hobert smiled, "In return, we gave them a safe place to recuperate and retire.

"You should also know that after becoming a pirate, you don't want to quit if you want to, and few pirates can have a good death."

Although Gadelia didn't say anything, she had already thought that if the Storm Church and the Governor's Office of the Rorsted Islands did not intervene, then the intentions of the future "Emperor" would be a bellwether for the pirates.

She believes that providing a stable channel for selling stolen goods is the biggest trap that the "emperor" gives to pirates.

Weaker pirates generally only dared to rob ordinary passenger ships, but now with the widespread use of steam engines, they are increasingly unable to catch up with passenger ships, so they are forced to rob only some slower-moving cargo ships.

But after the goods were stolen, there was nowhere to sell the stolen goods.

There are generally two types of powerful pirates, one is like Gardelia, who has the support of extraordinary forces and has a stable channel for selling stolen goods, and the other is a powerful pirate who has become famous through hard work.

The latter are more numerous, because the former is easy to "adapt to the soil" at sea, and is used and killed by the pirates.

And the latter has a big problem is that there is no stable channel for selling stolen goods, not that no one wants to make this fortune, but everyone knows that these pirates' things are illegal and wants to buy them at a lower price.

Or the Governor's Mansion waits for such a transaction to take place, and then after the transaction is completed, the buyer is arrested for helping the pirates sell the stolen goods, so that not only will the buyer have to pay a large ransom to get away with the crime, but the illegal property stolen by the pirates can also be turned into stolen goods, which can be auctioned at several times the transaction price.

So unless it's hard enough in the background, not many people dare to trade with pirates.

People who are hard enough in the background are high-ranking officials, and for the sake of reputation, they will not blatantly trade with pirates in large quantities.

So the booty looted by the pirates actually lacked a sufficient market.

There are also extraordinary forces that have cooperated with some pirates, but there are very few successful cases of such cooperation, first of all, the extraordinary forces do not trust pirates, and they do not expect pirates to be loyal.

Pirates are also wary of the Extraordinary Forces, and simply don't trust them completely.

Such cooperation is destined to be difficult to succeed.

And the genius of the "emperor" is that he only does business with pirates, and does not have any intention of taking it for himself!

In this way, the pirates had more trust in the port of Tutuca, and when the pirates habitually traded in the port of Tutuca, they only had to add a little strings of conditions, such as the value of the goods of the Vorsac Empire was 20% higher than usual, and the value of the cargo of the Rune merchant ships was 20% lower than usual.

In three months at most, the Visak Empire's maritime trade will suffer huge losses! Rune's maritime trade was able to thrive as a result, and when conditions permitted, it was able to quickly seize the market.

At this time, Hobert said to the dreaming Gardelia: "You are welcome to invest, I originally discussed with the 'mysterious queen', and she suddenly appeared to invest in the shops and real estate of Tutujia Port, which gave the pirates a huge shock."

"But maybe because of the battle with Eris, the 'mysterious queen' didn't show up, and she didn't give me any news, so I don't know if she will come today."

Gadelia was slightly stunned: "I'll think about it." ”

She understood what Hobart meant, and that Toutuga Port was a good exchange of information.

Alger said at this time: "I will also go to Tutuga Port in a few days. ”

"No problem." Hobert smiled, "But I might leave Toutuga Harbor tomorrow to take care of some other business." ”

"It's okay, I don't need a guide." Alger joked.

After ten or so seconds of silence, Derrick spoke, "After a while of investigation and preparation, I will follow the exploration team to the Afternoon Town camp, and this time, we will most likely try to enter the 'Giant Court'." ”

This topic makes everyone feel like they have jumped from the real world to ancient mythology all at once.

"Fallen Commissar" Alger reminded vaguely: "When the time comes, listen to your chief's arrangement, and pray to Mr. Fool as much as possible, and if you encounter difficulties, you can apply for a small discussion." ”

Darek smiled, "Okay, Mr. Hangman." ”

At this time, Audrey, as a "spectator", noticed that Mr. Hanged Man had changed recently.

Although the "hanging man" used to teach the "little sun" to them, it implied a certain request, hoping to get useful information from the feedback.

Recently, however, his analysis and help have not presented any similar details.

Audrey's professional instinct attacked, and she quickly did a psychological analysis of the "hanging man".

She soon had a certain conjecture: the "hanging man" was doing the transformation of self-positioning!

Ever since the Hermit Lady joined the Tarot Society, she has shown her access and resources at sea, and Mr. Hanged Man has unconsciously sought to change and try to distinguish herself from the role of the other party.

After this topic was over, Klein saw that the meeting was almost over, so he used the role of "fool" and said, "That's all for today." ”

The members stood up and saluted, and their figures quickly disappeared from the "gray mist".

……

Leonard returned to the real world, sat on the sofa and hesitated, but still put his legs on the coffee table, and then, he lowered his voice and asked, "Old man, have you ever seen the second 'blasphemous slate'?" ”

In his mind, a slightly aged voice from Parles Zoroaster sounded: "No, it was my great-grandfather who saw the second 'blasphemous tablet'. Hehe, who mentioned this? ”

Leonard didn't answer, but asked with some curiosity, "Do you know the recipe for the 'Night's Watch' potion?" ”

Parles scoffed: "Innocent! According to my great-grandfather, the situation was urgent, the opportunities were limited, and the 'blasphemy tablet' could flash out on its own at any moment, and every intelligent person knew that it was better to master a complete and extraordinary path before browsing the others.

"In addition, the knowledge on the 'Desecration Slate' is presented in essence rather than words, and every viewer needs time to interpret it, and by the time the 'Desecration Slate' is taken away, not everyone can really write down a complete and extraordinary way, let alone take care of the others?"

"That's right." Leonard laughed dryly and asked instead, "Who took the second 'blasphemous tablet'?" ”

Pales was silent for a moment and said, "If my great-grandfather is right, it should be Adam, the King of Angels." ”

Even if He mentioned Adam, Adam would not have noticed it.

"The seven gods, no, it was supposed to be the six gods at the time, and they weren't involved in this matter?" Leonard asked, surprised.

Parles laughed, "At least not on the surface." ”

There was silence for a few seconds before Leonard seemed to come back to his senses and said, "I made a deal with the Creator's family, and he offers you two ways to choose from......

He described in detail the two methods offered by the "Emperor" and finally asked: "Which one are you going to choose?" ”

"The first one, of course."

Leonard asked, "Are you sure your 'deception' can be effective?" ”

Pales smiled "hehe": "In your eyes, am I too old to walk?" Let him provide another 'Black Emperor' path to a demigod-level spell, and the problem will be solved. ”

……

Long Tail Island, Governor's Palace.

Hobart and Foirth return to the real world together, and Hobart looks at the sky outside: "Shall we take another nap?" ”

Furth's cheeks flushed slightly, and "nap" had become their new code: "We still have business to do." ”

Hobart yawned, "Okay. ”

The two of them sat up, straightened their clothes, and then returned to the central square of Tutujia Port with "travel" again.

No one paid much attention to their return and return, after all, the lord must have some other things to attend to.

At this time, the servant returned to tea, fruits, and snacks.

Hobert leaned back in his chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and said, "I should have told you before that the Battle of South Coulson captured a large number of extraordinary characteristics. ”

He "tampered with" the distance of the sound waves, so that his voice was clear only on the high platform, but not outside the high platform.

Furth closed the book and nodded, "I remember." ”

"You've basically seen the forces that are loyal to the 'Founder', and I'm sure you've sensed that they are self-contained and difficult to separate." Hobert smiled, "That's why the 'Founders' didn't immediately incorporate the Gnostic Council.

"Now the 'Founders' have a new directive, to use that extraordinary trait to form our own extraordinary power, gradually absorbing some of the members of the Gnosis Council, and then breaking them up and distributing them to the various extraordinary teams.

"This can effectively put an end to the phenomenon of each team working in isolation."

"That's a good idea. ”

"So now one of the problems I'm facing is." Hobert finally got to the point: "There has to be someone who knows the 'founder' organization very well, but is not a relative of the 'founder', and who I trust enough to be the president of this research society." ”

Firth was stunned, feeling as if the position had been designed for herself.

Hobert looked at Furth and said simply, "I want you to be the president of this research society." ”

"Me?" Furth smiled, "I only have Sequence 7. ”

"The initial members were just ordinary people, or a few Sequence 9 were absorbed from the Gnosis Council." Hobert smiled, "Besides, you're about to advance to Sequence 6, and Sequence isn't a problem." ”

Foirth thought for more than ten seconds: "What is the main study?" ”

"Say it's research." Hobert said, "Actually, you're teaching them how to digest potions quickly. ”

"That's fine. ”

Hobert smiled: "Then I'll ask Conrad to dispatch the civilian staff of the Research Society, and after the recent affairs on Longtail Island are busy, you will start recruiting members, right?" ”

Furth didn't shirk: "Okay. ”

Then she asked, "What are your requirements for recruiting members?" ”

"Preferably the people in the territory, the people whose families have benefited from several reforms." "In other words, have a certain amount of loyalty to the Lord's Mansion," Hobert said. ”

"No problem." "There are some ownerless villas in Longtail Harbor, and I plan to set up my headquarters here and a branch in South Coulson in the future. ”

Hobert nodded: "As the president of the Apprenticeship Research Association, you can completely call the shots about these things. ”

"The apprenticeship workshop isn't a good idea." "Why don't you call it the Travelers' Institute?" ”

Hobert smiled and said, "It's up to you." ”

As soon as the matter was finalized, the pirates suddenly exclaimed, and Hobert saw from a distance that the "Golden Dream" of the "Iceberg Lieutenant General" appeared offshore, heading towards the port of Tutuca.

This is also the guest invited by Hobert, and it is also the goodwill released by the Church of God of Knowledge and Wisdom.

The arrival of the "Golden Dream" is not only as simple as the "Iceberg Vice Admiral" attending the opening of Tutujia Port, but also to build a channel for communication and trading between the knowledge church and the "founder" forces.

Of course, for this purpose, both sides are tacit.

Hobert's courtesy was also very high, and he personally took Furth to the dock to greet him.

Although the "Golden Dream" is a circle smaller than the "Black Emperor", after stopping at the port, compared to other pirate ships, it is also a behemoth.

As the giant ship slowly approached, the face was like a goose egg, with a high nose bridge, thin lips, and a pair of light blue eyes like clear spring water.

Behind is the first mate of the "Golden Dream", Blue Walls, as well as the second and third officers.

Hobert smiled, "Welcome. ”

He then introduced Edwina and Forth to each other, and the two ladies shook hands generously.

Adevina looked at the port of Tutuca, which was being built and restored: "It looks full of life. ”

"It looks a little messy, doesn't it?" Hobert smiled, "The Black Emperor tried to attack Tutuga Harbor just now, but I have 'asked' him to leave. ”

First mate Blue and the others were stunned, and they realized at this time that the young man in front of them turned out to be a demigod.

In fact, Hobart had met some of the members of the "Golden Dream" on Dock Island before, but Hobart had changed his appearance at that time, so none of them recognized him.

Hobart made a gesture of please, and everyone left the dock together.

At this time, the outside of the dock was already full of pirates watching the excitement, and even some pirates who had drunk a lot of alcohol thought that they were drunk and hallucinated.

In the five seas, such as the Furious Sea and the Sunia Sea, the "Pirate Generals" are recognized as strong men, and they are more well-known than those famous writers or musicians in the Northern Continent.

Almost as long as you are a pirate, you may not be able to call the "Four Kings", but you must know the "Pirate Generals".

Edwina asked as she walked forward, "I got some news, the 'Black Emperor' has changed hands?" ”

"Yes, I just got the news." "The Black Emperor is controlled by a teenager named Eris, who has the support of the Tamara family. ”

Edvina was slightly stunned: "That's an ancient, but not very active extraordinary family. ”

"Yes."

"So, the rules that the 'King of the Five Seas' made for pirates before will also become invalid as this news spreads?" Adevina seems to be asking, and as if she is making her own point:

"We've always been very supportive of those rules, and when they become invalid, maybe the sea will get bloodier."

Hobert smiled while leading the way in front of him with half a step: "Not necessarily, I will establish a new order at sea." ”

He paused and said, "To tell you the truth, the order established by Nast is a good thing, but the methods are a little clumsy, and nothing has changed over the years. ”

Adevina was stunned: "What method do you plan to use to establish a new order?" ”

"Of course, it's to 'impress' them with benefits." Hobart said with a smile.

Adevina knew it wasn't that simple, but instead of continuing the conversation, she asked what the functions on Central Street were for.

Led by Hobart, they visited banks and trading houses, ate some good food, and chatted over beer.

It was almost evening, and Hobert was about to invite the "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg" to dinner, but suddenly he felt something spiritually and looked at the sunset on the horizon.

The golden sunset suddenly sparkled like a sea of golden sand.

In this golden sea, there is a ship that flashes with seven colors of brilliance, and it is heading towards Longtail Island.

The golden ocean in the sky suddenly flowed into the sea, as if the setting sun had turned into a liquid and sprinkled on the surface of the sea.

The giant ship also slid down from the sky on the golden waves, and came to rest in the sea at the harbor.

This scene stunned the pirates on the street, and even forgot to scream, this should be the most amazing thing they have encountered in their lives.

Hobert smiled at the "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg" and said, "I'm sorry, let my wife Foirth introduce you to some of the delicacies here, and I'll go and greet the guests." ”

Adevina knew of course who was coming, and smiled, "You get busy first." ”

When Hobart arrived in port, the sea between the giant ship "Dawn", which had not docked, and the harbor, suddenly grew lush peas.

They intertwined and supported each other, and finally grew into a beautiful arched bridge of emerald green that connected the Dawn to the harbor.

Bernadette, with chestnut hair, wearing an Indisian-style blouse, and a navy blue captain's suit, appears on the bridge.

He was followed by quite a few Bernadette's crew.

Hobert smiled, "I thought you weren't coming." ”

Bernadette was a little serious: "I've had some trouble lately, but that doesn't stop me from fulfilling some of the promises I've made. ”

When they had all landed, Hobert said to them, "Ladies and gentlemen, I will take you to visit the port of Tutuca. ”

This time, there were not many pirates outside the docks, because the scene just now shocked them, and many of them even hid in brothels.

But after today, the talk of how the Mysterious Queen, the owner of the Dawn, came into being, and her relationship with Tutuga Harbour, will quickly spread throughout the Furious Sea.

After visiting the port of Tutuga again, it was time for dinner, and Hobert invited Bernadette and the others to an Indisian-style restaurant.

"Lieutenant General Iceberg" and others dined at another restaurant, and the two sides did not meet.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was good, and Hobert talked to Bernadette about the first time they met, also in an Indisian-style restaurant.

But as the topic went on, it came to Eris and the Black Emperor.

Bernadette suddenly raised his hand, and Hobert felt that the voices around him were getting farther and farther away from him, as if he had come to a mysterious island alone with Bernadette, and everything around him became unreal, as if only the space in front of him was real.

Hobart knew that Bernadette had a more confidential topic to talk to him.

She first asked, "I heard that the young man named Eris is your enemy?" Behind him, is it the Tamara family? ”

"Yes." Hobert said in his heart that the "hermit" Gardelia was very quick to spread information.

He didn't hide it: "That boy is a doppelganger of the evil god, and that evil god is the sworn enemy of the 'founder'!"

"As for the Tamara family, they are the supporters of that evil god, so Eris has the dominance."

Bernadette furrowed her straight eyebrows, the matter was more complicated than she had imagined.

She thought about it for a moment and asked, "Why did Eris attack me suddenly?" I don't remember offending the evil gods, or the Tamara family. ”

"He's looking for a light." Then Hobart brought out his "tuba": "The 'founder' said that the evil god has been using some extraordinary power to find a lamp, and that lamp seems to be in your hands. ”

Bernadette looked at Hobert.

"What kind of eyes are you?" Hobart smiled and said, "I never investigated you, but it is said that the lamp seems to have been obtained by Russell the Great, and it has never appeared in people's field of vision since." ”

Instead of admitting it, Bernadette did not deny it, but asked, "The 'founder' also needs that lamp?" ”

"Not right now." Hobart took the opportunity and said, "If I need it in the future, I will ask you to borrow it." ”

Bernadette immediately asked, "What's the secret in that lamp?" ”

"It is said that a powerful and mysterious being has sealed an evil god in a lamp." Hobert said vaguely: "I don't know the specific situation. ”

"Lend me the lamp to you." Bernadette said cheerfully, "But you're going to tell me the secret about that lamp." ”

"I will convey your conditions to the great 'founder'."

"In addition, I need to use the 'all-weather strategic partnership' we agreed to before," Bernadette said seriously, "If Eris attacks us again, I will notify you immediately, and I hope you will join the war immediately." ”

Hober nodded: "No problem. ”

However, he added, "Eris probably won't be active in the outside world lately. ”

"I've also heard about your method of dealing with him, and that method is unexpected." Bernadette took a sip of wine: "But that method doesn't work for me." ”

Just kidding, the "mysterious queen" prays for the help of the "Lord of the Storm"? It is likely that the "Lord of the Storm" will be killed along with the "Mystic Queen".

Bernadette picked up the knife and fork again, and the mysterious environment between them was lifted, and the lively atmosphere in the restaurant rushed towards Hobert.

Hobert and Bernadette also began to talk about some interesting things at sea, and no longer talked about the topic of design to confidentiality.

After dinner, Bernadette sailed away, but her third mate remained, with a whole wagon of cash to be invested in the port of Tutuga to-morrow.

The "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg" is much more low-key, and it is only the extraordinary characteristics of the way to trade a group of "readers" with Hobart in private, which can be regarded as the first transaction between the two parties.

In the extraordinary battles, Hobert has accumulated a lot of extraordinary characteristics of the "Reader", and even has a Sequence 5 level "Mystic Mentor" trait, which is one of the captures when exploring Adam's island.

Hobert sold all of the 12 extraordinary traits he had accumulated and smashed to the "Iceberg Admiral", and roughly told the "Iceberg Lieutenant General" the origin of these traits to indicate that they were not obtained from the Knowledge Church.

After settling the "Lieutenant General Iceberg" and his party, Hobert returned to the lodgings arranged for him on Central Avenue to rest, from which he could see the pirates singing and dancing in the streets.

In the evening, of course, the bonfire dance organized by the city government is indispensable, and many pirates are crazy, and in the second half of the night, they have no intention of finding a place to rest.

In the second half of the night, Hobert and Furth were in the room to calculate the day's earnings.

There is no doubt that today's opening of the port was a great success.

The income of the directly operated units of the city government alone reached 100,000 pounds!

The auction house generated nearly 30,000 pounds of revenue, the main source of which came from the casino, and once the pirates who had drunk entered the casino, they would not leave without gambling a penny.

The brothel's income is similar to that of the casino, but the city government gives most of the proceeds to the street girls.

As most of the pirates are still waiting, the bank has only about £20,000 in deposits, but as the Bank of Tutuga gradually builds credit, deposits should usher in a period of skyrocketing.

The sale of the stolen goods amounted to about £150,000, and the stolen goods were transported to the South or North Continent through Hobart's channels, and could create a value of no less than £500,000 when they changed hands.

When this deal is completed, the pirates who are still waiting and watching will surely flock to Tutujia Port with more looted merchant ships.
