Black sails

Chapter 27 XXVII. The Piracy Act

The secret port was originally built by the nobles of Linden City and was a territory belonging to the noble clan. It was used to evade the duchy's customs duties, stockpile private armed forces, and shelter the evil forces to collect parking fees and protection fees.

Let the person who collects the protection fee pay the protection fee, which is the threshold and the entry into the game.

The current situation of Heifan and his group is that they are temporary private armed forces belonging to the nobles, temporarily acting as white gloves, and the parking fee is naturally waived.

Li Site and his party went down to the trestle.

Xia Di looked at the battle. There were not just one carriage, but three carriages. They were all elegant and white horses. There were more than 20 large and small boxes on the cargo compartment. The packaging was quite exquisite, wasn't it? All the rotten wooden boxes are made of good wood and are engraved with exquisite patterns of birds and animals.

When the earl's envoy saw Li Site, he also bowed slightly and put his palms on his chest to salute. As for what he was thinking in his heart and whether he liked these pirates, that's another matter.

"Captain, this is the earl's wish. The ship will be bored if it stops in this puddle of water in the long run, so I am prepared to give you a small courtesy in the hope that..."

The messenger had not finished his polite words.

Renn and others didn't bother with these formal formalities at all, and a large group of people had already gone up to open the box.

The messenger smiled awkwardly. It seemed that these people didn't like the winding red tape.

The boxes also contained some recreational supplies, tobacco, wine, tea, and coffee powder, but they were all high-end goods that could be put on the table.

Ren grabbed a handful of tobacco and sniffed it in his nose, then put it in his mouth and chewed it for a few times.

Because merchant ships are often robbed and dozens or hundreds of tons of cargo must be valued on board, the core members of Black Sail are all first-rate tasters.

"It's a good product from the Cangwu Mountains. I heard that it's all cultivated, picked and processed by beauties. It's said that there's some kind of fucking chest massage. I'm so willing to give it up. Damn it."

Renn actually didn't care very much. The wild boars couldn't eat the fine chaff of these people who licked the blood from their knives. They smoked both garbage and good cigarettes. Wouldn't this be a waste of money? Wouldn't it be better to just convert it into cash? All the twists and turns, really stingy, probably because they have too much stock and are here to send beggars away.

Morrison also picked up a bottle of wine, bit open the cork and took a sip. It was fruit wine brewed by wood elves. It had a sweet and fragrant aroma, a strong taste and was gentle on the throat. It also had the strange effect of calming down and lowering the fever. Drinking it in this early winter still made me feel better. It's a bit chilly, it's not for sale, it has a price but no market.

"If you drink this, you will be sent to hell."

Morrison commented, "It's really a high-end product."

The messenger smiled awkwardly. He just opened the box and started using it.

"Huh...how about fixing these rags?"

Li Site pretended not to look down upon these things. He opened a few lids and took a quick look at them before closing them. In fact, he felt a little resigned. If you pretend to be cool and can't explain why, then withdraw.

The messenger's eyelids twitched, "How can they be so tattered? My brother, these twenty or so boxes can be given to young nobles as wedding gifts."

"Of course not. There is a gift that the Earl specifically told me to give to you in person."

The messenger pulled out a palm-sized delicate box from the secret compartment of the carriage compartment and opened it in front of Li Site. He saw that there were about a hundred golden dragons of eternity and light inside.

"Fuck..."

Xia Di complained that if he didn't want people like him to die, he really couldn't think of any jobs that he would hire pirates like him to do. These are just deposits and gifts. You have this capital to complete a heroic adventure group. Just a fucking all-star lineup, wouldn’t that be great?

There is only one answer, and it is absolutely impossible to see the slightest light. He must be completely hidden to death, and his own men and horses cannot be used. He must ask the lawless zone in the lawless zone, the famous Hob Meat of Tianguo Port, to deal with it.

He racked his brains and found that it couldn't possibly be a business dispute. If he asked his group to kill the opponent's lord, he would be blamed in the end. It was something more secret, ulterior, far-reaching, and implicated. Deep things.

The messenger didn't know what had just happened on the black sailboat. These gifts as a sign of sincerity, under an ominous sign, turned into a debt.

"In this way, I think we can return these things, and we will return to Tianguo Port in the near future."

Originally, Oakes objected to casually bringing people on board, but this time he felt something was wrong. Not only the people on the ship who had just committed suicide, but also the instinctive and intuitive premonition that there was something deeply dormant and unknown, which might be worse than before in Black Sail. All the jobs I have ever done are more dangerous. I am afraid that if I don't go to the royal capital, go to Luo with a knife in hand, and tell the story of the harm.

"You're right, your mother is really scary, she's like a destitute." Ren said he was happy and sad, but in fact he felt extremely unlucky and agreed, "Captain, what do you think? I think the crew voting and democratic decision can be started at this time, Micah, you go call Archer and Heywood out."

Seeing that Fen had not expressed his position yet, Swann remained silent for the time being.

"Okay... let's vote."

Li Site made a judgment.

The sea area between the Western Continent and the Far Eastern Islands is the most prosperous area for pirates. In a sense, it is also the most democratic area.

At certain times, pirates are even more humane and democratic than merchant warships, and will not beat crew members or kill their companions.

Pirates are different from bandits in the mountains. They can bluff people with just a knife. No matter what, they need a ship, which requires a lot of money. They also need to understand the complex sail control system, and they need to be able to tie dozens of knots. A naval gun also costs a lot of money, and it takes several people to play it well, which often requires people with a little brains.

A person who can fill a position on the ship and can do any job has a status equal to that of a programmer with several years of experience in the 21st century, and belongs to the mid-to-high-end technical category.

The pirate groups that have made their mark in Tianguo Port are not spontaneous organizations among the people, but are broken off from various mainstream organizations, knights, adventure groups, broken soldiers, and persecuted former nobles. , the origins are all strange.

It also makes it different from stragglers. The more disciplined you are, the longer you will last and the benefits will be more considerable.

One hundred and ten years ago, the old cannon among the old cannons at sea issued the "Pirate Act", which was also mentioned in the famous book "Travels of Arkania" on the Western Continent. It is still the golden rule today.

Big Brother has figured it out through experience. As long as you follow this trick, you will be right.

The most representative two of them are very democratic. The first is that everyone on the ship has the right to vote on all daily affairs regardless of their position. The second is that major differences must be decided through a vote by all members.

The rules are different on every ship. Most of them only use part of them and then adapt them according to the situation on the ship.

The rules on Li Site's ship have a dimensionality-reducing impact on the entire pirate industry. He understands that in this Red Sea market, it is necessary to open up differentiated tracks, focus on key paths, find powerful levers, form vertical fields, and collect users. The portrait allows the market to respond quickly, and the in-depth series connection of products continuously accumulates potential energy to realize the value coupling of all crew members and then find the tipping point, thereby achieving high-frequency access to kill people and steal goods.

In short, what are the illiterate sailors on the ship trying to do? They just get paid every month and receive dividends as soon as the order is completed.

War is the training camp for pirates, and peace is the real battlefield for pirates.

On the Forma Keqing's Revenge, there are two different rules: going to sea and not going to sea.

After going to sea, all key members will count one vote each, and Li Site will only count one vote. In order to take care of the sailors' emotions and prevent them from mutiny, the ship will not move after killing the people. For those with positions among the sailors, one vote will be counted for every five sailors. For those without positions, one vote is counted for every ten people. In theory, it can be equal to or even more than the management by a few votes.

Before going to sea, the sailors do not count the votes. Each member of the core team has one vote, and Li Site has two votes.

"I think it's time to go."

The Black Sail gang all came to the trestle, and Wollman was the first to express his stance and cast his vote.

"I also agree to leave."

Xia Di was not stubborn, but knew that Archer was stubborn, so she winked at him crazily.

"I don't really understand, so I just agree."

Archer said indifferently.

Oaks and Renn have already stated their stance before, which means that there are already five votes. If there is one more vote, they can find an intermediary to randomly recruit hundreds of people. The material purchase order is urgent. Everyone should be quick and return to Tianguo Port first. Otherwise, You can leave in a few days.

Seeing that these people are leaving.

The earl's envoy has a big head. If they leave, he will not be destroyed if he goes back. He must quickly release the bombshell news.
