Arcane Universe

Feng Chou looked around, he saw that the five merchant ships attacked by the Kou Tao murlocs, except for his own Patrick, had begun to turn around, sailing towards fleet In the opposite direction, there is no need to ask, they are already captured.

The battle ahead of fleet also ended quickly. The brain-eater pirate fleet that had been plundered took the initiative to retreat and was out of contact, while the human warship was far less mobile than the opponent and could not pursue it. Watching the other party go away quickly.

After the enemy went away, Fleet did not dare to delay, and continued to head north.

This time the crew did not dare to be lazy anymore, the pilot merchant ship rushed wildly, relying on the excellent speed performance of the Patrick to squeeze into the inner circle of fleet.

Along the way, Feng Chou did not dare to retreat again, patrolling the ship from time to time, urging the crew to drive carefully and keep the merchant ship inside the fleet.

Fortunately, the Patrick has excellent performance, and it is not difficult to do this.

fleet you chase me, and arrived at Brook Island after half a month.

Brook Island is located in the northern part of the dark forest.

It is different from the in a frenzy on the border between the trolls and lizardmen near Maledez. In the northern part of the gloomy forest, the area at the junction of the emerald forest is almost a blank area. The trolls on the south The clan avoided this area far away.

The reason is very simple. The natural elves in the north are too strong. They will clear the border every time. The trolls can’t stay here.

The prosperity of Brook Island is not because of natural elves or trolls, but because of the large number of huge caves on the mainland coastline to the west of Brook Island.

Many of these caves on the coastline are the estuary from the Nether Darkness Region ocean to the surface ocean. It is said that these estuary are not far from the nearby Drow cities.

Actually, Brook Island is a trading port with the underground world.

If someone asks, in the main material world, what is the most profitable trade, then eight out of ten will answer you, trading with the underground world.

The underground world has extremely rich mineral deposits, but lacks food, cloth and other basic materials. You can even use the most common food in exchange for precious alchemical materials from the underground world.

Although this trading port is remote, it has the convenience of water transportation. The volume of trade is considerable. It is often difficult to achieve large amounts of underground trade. The sea route leading to the world below just solves this problem.

On the Patrick, as usual, a lot of alchemy cloth, blank scroll paper, basic potions that have not been injected into the spell, and many other basic alchemy items were prepared.

Second Mate Colbert traded these goods to a local Chamber of Commerce in exchange for a large amount of various crude alchemical minerals from the underground world, as well as some products from Drow and the gray dwarves Of sophisticated weapon armor.

During the transaction, Feng Chou visited the secret technique market on Brook Island. He saw many strange magic items from the Nether Darkness Region, but he did not find any items similar to the Black Dragon statue. .

There is one thing in Brook’s secret technique market that is invisible to other cities, and that is the slave market opened here just and honorable.

The human world has already abolished the slave system. Therefore, in a human city, there will never be a slave market, at least there will not be a just and honorable slave market.

Brookport has a slave market because it does not belong to the human world.

Brookport is actually a free port built by human merchants spontaneously. There is neither a huge army nor a towering magic tower.

But according to Locke’s experience, this port is a safer place than the Port of Maltez.

The reason why this port can stand on this dangerous west coast is actually the protection of the Nether Darkness Region.

For maintaining a trading port here, it is almost the consensus of many forces in the nearby Nether Darkness Region. Any pirates or other forces who dare to invade this port will be confronted by several forces in the Nether Darkness Region. The most brutal blow, several powerful pirate groups from the Nether Darkness Region never came to harass this port.

Feng Chou walked into one of the slave markets out of curiosity.

He saw a lot of peculiar races from the Nether Darkness Region here, such as the Ox Head Man, which is more burly than ogre and has a bull’s head on his neck; he has gray and black skin and is tall. Only two-thirds of a human, but a half-human wide, a strong and sturdy gray dwarf; of course, there are also Drow elves with purple-black skin, silver-white hair, and red eyes.

In addition to the underground races, Feng Chou also saw a lot of troll slaves here.

These slaves, without exception, have a black collar around their necks.

The spirit of Universe Pagoda told Feng Chou that these collars are all alchemical products. From the analysis of the spell loop inside the collar, these collars not only have the function of causing pain or even killing the wearer’s electric shock, but also control the mind. Psychological suggestion function, and even the function of compulsory manipulation of will for a short time.

Listening to Universe Pagoda’s explanation, Feng Chou felt shuddering. Once such a collar is worn on his body, not only life and death are under his control, but even his thoughts are not under his control. It’s more than death. terrible!

Slave market shopping guide waiter’s endless explanations by Feng Chou’s side, let him gradually understand the usefulness of these slaves.

Above the vast ocean is a world that cannot be touched by land laws. Here, violence is the foundation of everything.

The slaves sold here are basically all powerful professionals, such as the underground Ox Head Man, who is born with a six-level biological level, and a little training is a powerful thug; gray dwarves are not weak military force, He is also an excellent craftsman. In addition to acting as a thug on a ship, he can also act as a craftsman on the ship; the powerful and agile Drow warrior and troll hunter are also very good sailors.

On the west coast, both pirate bosses and merchant ship captains like to use slaves as thugs. After signing the devil contract control, slaves are much easier to use than recruited sailors, and they don’t need to be paid. A one-time investment is far more worthwhile than hiring sailors in the long run.

But there is a disadvantage to using slaves, that is, these slaves cannot enter the territory of humans or natural elves.

In a human city, once someone is found to use a slave, the captain will be prosecuted and face a hefty fine. In the land of natural spirits, the consequences will be even more serious. The merchant ship will be permanently expelled and can no longer do business with natural spirits.

Even so, there are still many captains who like to use cheap and good-quality slaves. At most, they can hide them in the bilge after the ship docks.

Compared to merchant ship captains, pirate captains prefer slaves, and many pirate captains even rely on slaves to control ordinary pirates under their command.
