Black sails

Chapter 9 Ⅸ. Troubled Times

In a theater in Linden City.

Li Site was originally going to settle the matter in Linden City, give the gift money to the Sheriff, and then walk away, but he didn't expect to receive another order.

The Sheriff returned the gift money and asked Li Site to stay here for another month. The Lord had a big job and needed to find a reliable person to do it.

He had been told that if Black Sail destroyed the casino easily, let them take over the job.

Li Site's first reaction after hearing this was to refuse directly. If the group of old men could call it a big deal, he might not be the one who would fall into it.

Until the Sheriff stated the terms.

Black Sail is now notorious and appears to be on the rise, but has reached a plateau, like walking a tightrope.

Except for a few big pirates who were famous all over the world and even had fleets in Tianguo Port, Li Site was already among the pirates who had made it to the upper reaches of the pyramid.

This means that they are notorious, but they are only feared as a group of thugs. Their wealth and fame are completely inconsistent. They are the target of public criticism. They have no foundation as bandits wandering on the sea and are in urgent need of transformation.

Killing people and buying goods is just an initial accumulation. If you want to go further, you have to start doing big business, and this requires a way, not to mention that Li Site is now being targeted by the governor of the East Coast Maritime Department.

As long as Li Site's order is completed, the Lord Sheriff has an old acquaintance, and Li Site can go to him and get a privateer's license. Although the identities of the people on the ship are not clear, they are also A hiding system was officially launched.

Even with such conditions, Li Site did not agree immediately.

Li Site has also heard the name of the so-called old acquaintance. This person has a very complicated background and the things he does are quite outrageous. To put it simply, he is Beima Xiaochaijin, a direct descendant of the former royal family and a well-known protector of the evil forces. He went to him Well, no one dares to touch me unless a large army comes to attack, but I don't have such a big face.

Nowadays, the national situation of the Principality of Bema is quite complicated. It has a kind of hatred towards the Alan Empire. Because several buffs have been added, the stack of talismans is almost full.

First, the old king can be called a hero in the fight against Aram. He was defeated and committed suicide in the isolated city, which can be regarded as a tragic song of generosity.

Second, the orthodox successor Philip VI went to the Aran Imperial Capital for peace talks and was coerced into ceding more territory. He flatly refused. As a result, he died in a foreign country and returned with only a coffin. King Huai of Chu in the Western Continent belonged to him.

Thinking of the old king who committed suicide and the cowardly Sixth Generation, all the people of Bema who had a temper became blood-wrathed.

In addition, there was a change in settlement currency, and the horrific devaluation caused the wealth of all Beima people to shrink overnight.

The essence of currency is a bond guaranteed by the state. It is a certificate issued by the country for labor. It is what the country owes you. The bond can be freely exchanged for other crystallization of labor in the current environment.

Now it is equivalent to the transfer of debts. What the Principality of Bema owes to the civilians has become owed to the Aram Empire. It is equivalent to saying that the Aram Empire has robbed everyone's money in the entire country, and everyone is giving the Aram Empire a shameful reputation. The cheapness of death lies in labor.

City people can barely survive with a little hard money, but some towns in the interior are almost unable to survive.

Except for some old nobles who still have their heritage and can seize a piece of land, the Principality of Bema is about to turn into a bandit country. It is full of bandits and bandits. It is a mess. There are several ice-free ports on the east coast of the Principality of Bema, which can communicate with the Far East. In the archipelago's trade, there are many foreigners who take risks to do business, which adds to the chaos, and the lives of civilians can be imagined.

The current puppet king is also mentally retarded, and the one who is being supported really treats himself as a figure. Li Site is sure that he will overturn in a few years.

Going to Beima Xiaochai now, although it is not the first train on the Angel Wheel, it is still in the early stage of a trend, so it is indeed a good opportunity.

Theater entrance.

Li Site and his party had already finished talking about the matter and came out.

"The builder is still pretending. He doesn't tell us what the job is, and wants us to stay here for another month."

Wollman was puzzled. Although it was indeed an offer he couldn't refuse, Li Site accepted it without asking what kind of job it was, which made him suspicious. Maybe it was a trap to find someone to take the blame.

"The privateering license is just a verbal promise, and I only promised it verbally. There are still sailors on the ship, and I won't be able to leave for a while. I will agree first."

Li Site is also a bastard. He didn't give out the gift money he was planning to give. He also had a deposit of thirty gold dragons on hand. If he doesn't eat the meat on his mouth, wouldn't he be stupid? He just gave thirty gold dragons for nothing. Look. It's a big job here.

"It's just that if you stay too long, the bounty hunters and the navy will be a problem."

Since the Great Wetland Uprising was suppressed, Wollman didn't trust any nobles at all. These Danse could only be used as villains. If they were to get around them, they would be dead. They couldn't defeat these cold-blooded bitches with ten thousand scheming minds.

"Hai, Brother Sha is here. There are a thousand people. Each of our brothers will kill 990 of them."

Li Site said casually.

"Thank you."

Morrison was noncommittal, "You really fucking think highly of me."

Not far after leaving the theater, I met Fen who was rushing here.

"Why are you back?"

Li Site immediately had a premonition that something was wrong.

Fin informed him of his purpose, saying that a bounty hunter was eyeing Black Sail, but he had already been chopped up by Oaks and Renn.

"Fuck, there's a killer so soon. He's really become famous." Li Site was silent for a moment and then added: "It's okay, he's just a little guy. He can withstand it. Also, has Siwan figured it out? ?”

Fin nodded, thinking that the time had come for a showdown with the crew.

"That's good. If you can't figure it out, you have to figure it out. If it weren't for your face, I would have chopped him into pieces. It will be a happy occasion tonight, and there will be a few hard dishes."

Li Site's tone was serious.

"Three happy times?"

Finn was very interested. It was a blessing that he had gained a lot from the casino heist. For the rest of the crew, it was a blessing that Swann was carrying something on his back. What else?

Li Site talked about the privateering license and Beima Xiaochaijin.

Fen's poker face couldn't guess what he was thinking, so he just held it in for a few seconds and said, "Happy two point five."

Li Site was impressed by the words. Anyway, he hadn't made a decision yet, so he had to talk to him in private.

"Svan? What happened to the thief?"

Morrison asked casually.

"A blind person can see his skills. He has to pay a deposit, right?"

Wollman guessed that pirates are not just children playing house. Getting on the ship is not a matter of a word. Sailors and minions don't matter. The core members have to pay for their names, or they can peel off a noble. Even an honorary noble without a fief is fine. Or we have to talk about money. Swann had been carrying the boat since he got on the boat. If it hadn't been for Fen's recommendation, he would have been chopped into pieces. More than two months have passed and many people on the boat have begun to feel dissatisfied.

Li Site almost vomited out a mouthful of blood. The people on board were all veterans who had traveled around the world. They might not have much education, but their knowledge was as high as a seven or eight-storey building. They had already noticed it.

"You two, don't worry about it for now. It's a good thing anyway. Let's pop the champagne."

Li Site took a group of people back to the ship.

It was already dusk.

Sea cliff giant cave, secret port.

The water is sparkling, and on the trestle, which is only one meter higher than the sea level, weak torches are inserted into the wooden pillars to provide lighting. There are more than ten ships docked in the cave, some of which are smuggling ships of Linden City nobles, and some of which are unclean. .

Among them is Li Site's "Fuma Keqing's Revenge".

The reason why it is called this is because Li Site believes that it complements the "frost cuckoo cries blood".

The Furmac King's Revenge has a total length of 46 meters and a tonnage of 480 tons. However, the cave is dark, and the oil lamp on the ship is not lit. Only one corner of it can be seen through the torch lighting.

There were many vicious-looking people on the trestle, including pirates and escorts from smuggling ships, but when they saw Li Site and his party, they all moved out of the way.

There was a man named Archer on the ship who had been guarding their ship. He had killed several unsighted people in the past two days. His skills were so good that even gold-level adventurers were no match for him. But the doctor on the ship was relatively easy to talk to. After some inquiries, he learned that he was the Black Sail Pirates who had recently become famous. They killed the lord and family of Blue Bay Port and were among the outlaws.

A group of four people boarded the gangway and arrived on the deck of the Revenge of the Furmacqin.

Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.

"Come back and kill the general, my most proud belief."

The distinctive hoarse vocal chords of a werewolf are highly recognizable.

"Wait!" Morrison yelled loudly, startling a few people on the deck who were playing cards by lanterns, and then Morrison added, "It's vivid... I forgot, and the tears were inexplicable. It’s flowing.”

"Wait a minute!" Li Site yelled and added: "I vaguely remember...I forgot about it, and there's something awesome...I forgot about it."

Then the three of them sang at the same time: "Repulse all the enemies and kill all the navy."

Then they all picked up the wine glasses on the table and poured tons of wine, lit the large oil lamp that was the main lighting on the ship, and then danced around the mast like a master dancer while drinking, and sang pirate songs from the East Coast area.

"Brothers from all walks of life come to join the gang. Bring machetes and fire on your back. No need to hide on the guillotine. Share the bounty. You and I. If you are willing to risk your life, you will make a lot of money."

Since today was the day to divide the spoils, the three of them entered the excitement mode.

Fen was distracted again. What about performing a song and dance in the theater? The main event will come later. Maybe a few people will die on the ship. After all, the things that Swann stole from the Thieves Guild are too terrifying.

He ignored these three idiots. Everyone must be here tonight. He searched around the deck and everyone who went out to do errands came back. Archer was as drunk as ever, with a red face and no interest in worldly affairs. He spoke with Li Si To put it bluntly, he is a wine wizard. The low-level demon Heywood is playing cards with Swann and Shady.

Still missing one person.

"Where's the doctor?"

Fin asked Heywood.

Heywood never took off his helmet because his appearance was so terrifying.

"Where's the brothel?"

The blood-red-skinned Heywood answered.

"In the brothel again?"

Finn was dumbfounded.

He was also in the brothel when he killed someone last time. He was also in the brothel last time when Xia Di was blocked in Tianguo Port. He was also in the local brothel last time when the lord and his family of Lanwan Port died.

In Li Site's words, Gao De is a nine-one ruler, and Connection King is a master.

Fen was completely convinced and could only wait for him to come back.

It is not an exaggeration to say that tonight will decide the fate of the Black Sail Pirates, whether it is the privateering license Lisette mentioned or what Swann is carrying.

The impact is far-reaching. This is no longer a small game of hijacking ships and killing people. This time, the game is really big.
