Broad World

Chapter 922: Severely deformed city

Standing on the pier, feeling the sea breeze gently brushing his skin, Henry looked at the noisy market in the distance, with a faint smile on his face hidden under his hood.

Since entering the Strait of Isaiahvir, he can feel the ubiquitous Neranthir pirates around him. Once these guys spot a ship flying the Amn flag, they will immediately attack, sometimes even sinking the target completely. , And did not allow the opponent to cross the peninsula into Mulan's sphere of influence, it was rampant to the extreme.

In addition, ships of other countries and city-states can sail unimpeded, and the pirates don't even look at it.

Obviously, they saw that Amn was extremely weak now, so they dared to take advantage of the fire so blatantly, instead of cruising around the periphery at most, looking for the merchant ships that were alone.

We must know that Amn in its heyday not only had a powerful fleet, but also the magical support provided by masked wizards, so most of the time pirates did not dare to approach the Sea of ​​Sword. It's different.

First, Amn lost the huge fleet he was proud of, and then fell into riots and civil strife. Now even the capital Ascatla has not been able to completely control it, and the masked wizards have maintained a neutral attitude. That's why the pirates dared to rob the merchant ship in a big way.

After all, on the sea, the number of warships is the key. Even the second largest port of Amn, Moulin still maintains a fleet of high combat effectiveness, but it is no longer comparable to pirates in total, so these guys dare to be so rampant. , If it weren’t for considering that he had a navy title at the moment, he would be able to go ashore and looting directly.

"It seems that this city has slowly begun to regain its vitality, and it will not take long to become an important transportation hub. Just wait patiently for that thing to happen..." Henry muttered while looking at the chaotic streets. Muttered to himself.

Although due to the large number of immigrants, the current Weilun looks a little messy, but the basic order and laws have been initially established. The only thing lacking is an iron-faced and selfless law-enforcer, I believe it will not take long for this city to become as orderly as other places.

But he does not plan to do so now, because the prosperity of business now depends entirely on piracy, smuggling and some illegal businesses. Unless Amn is completely annexed or divided, this kind of plunder cannot be stopped.

Henry still remembers that at some point this year, Mulan, who is very close to Willen, will be captured by two ogres and an army of monsters led by them. At that time, he will be able to use Willen as a base to drive these monsters away. Get out. Then seized the opportunity to occupy the second largest port of Amn, especially the alchemy institutions in the city, which is really coveted.

It is necessary to know that 60% of Amn's low-level magic items and potions are produced by Mulan. According to rumors, they have mastered an ancient technique that can greatly increase production efficiency.

Just as he was considering how he should master the scale, a gorgeous carriage galloped from the end of the street. Passers-by moved away. After a few minutes, he parked not far away, followed by walking down from the car. The middle-aged man in a fashionable tight-fitting shirt with narrow sleeves and an open-chested shawl is the Suli who has not been seen for a long time.

He got out of the carriage and ran over without saying a word, and asked in a somewhat uncertain tone: "Who...who are you? Why do you have the master's seal!"

"Haha. It seems that I haven't seen each other for too long, you don't even recognize me." As he said, Henry lifted his hood slightly, revealing a little of his face.

Su Li only took a look, and was shocked to speak for an instant, both legs were trembling slightly, and it took a while before he said in disbelief: "You...how did you become younger!!! and... And those...eyes...just like...like..."

"It's like the starry sky at night, isn't it?" Henry smiled helplessly and took the second half of the sentence.

To be honest, he knew very well how unusual his appearance was, especially his two eyes, unless they were completely covered, they could not be hidden at all. Even all kinds of transformation and illusion magic are useless, even walking in the crowd will be as conspicuous as a torch in the dark.

The reason why hiding his head under the hood is also helpless. He doesn't want his two eyes to become his registered trademark, and he will be recognized wherever he goes.

"Yes. The way you look right now is really amazing. I haven't been mentally prepared for a while." After speaking, Su Li smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Although he knew that his allegiance was not an ordinary person, the scene before him was too weird. Perhaps he was barely able to accept it when he was younger. After all, there are many powerful wizards in Falun mainland who can deploy life extension potions, but those pairs are like stars. His eyes are not like humans at all.

Henry put on his hood carefully. Indifferent shrugged his shoulders: "Nothing. Actually, I didn't expect it to be like this. By the way, the pirates on the ship behind are for you. There are more than 400 people, all skilled sailors. Someone takes them out to take a bath and arrange it. I believe you must be in great need now."

"For me?"

As soon as he heard of a skilled sailor, Su Li's eyes flashed, and his face was filled with surprise.

The shortage of Willen is the labor population, especially skilled sailors and farmers, because the rapid increase of Willen’s floating population has brought huge food pressure and is very dependent on airships and ships for transportation. As for meat and vegetables, Solving it by themselves, many pirates are forced to return to their old businesses and drive fishing boats to cast nets to fish. Even this cannot meet the growing demand.

Not to mention agriculture, basically no. The farms near the city are all abandoned, and only a few have barely planted a small amount of vegetables and fruits, which provide vital vitamins for the city.

It can be said that the current Weilun, both in terms of economy and population structure, is quite deformed, and it is not like a healthy development of the city. The most important thing is that the pirates are used to spending money, so the supplies in the city are tight, and the prices of many necessities in life are high. However, it caused great troubles to ordinary people.

In order to solve this problem, Suli even took out a special fund of 50,000 gold coins. Farmers and fishermen who come to settle in Weilun will immediately get a fishing boat or land, plus ten gold coins as a subsidy.

However, it is a pity that neither pirates nor merchants can appreciate this small amount of money, so it has little effect, and so far not many people have been recruited.

He couldn't imagine that he had such good luck, and he won four hundred skilled fishermen in one fell swoop. There is no need to worry about insufficient fish supplies for a long time.

"Of course it's for you. But let's be more serious. They have accumulated a lot of resentment and may be a little bit rebellious." Henry glanced at the ship behind him and said meaningfully.

Some of these guys are members of the Black Sails Guild. There is also a part of Karinshan pirates who were abducted and landed through false news. The reason they did not dare to resist was that they were subdued by violence. Once they were out of control and surveillance, they would probably seize the ship and escape without saying a word.

Su Li, who had been the Pirate King for a while, certainly knew how to deal with such a person, and saw him beckoning to the guard behind him with a sneer. Then he murmured a few words, and the latter instantly showed a sullen smile, nodded vigorously, and then turned and walked into a tavern.

A few minutes later, he walked out from inside with a large group of vicious, drunk people, jumped straight onto the boat, and after dismissing the sailor and captain, he got into the cabin without falling, and cursing came after a while. Sounds and painful screams...

There is no doubt that these guys are Li Wei. Use the most savage way to issue a warning, "Lao Tzu is the master of this site, you guys, be honest."

For pirates, it is common for pirates to fight with each other. It is also common for a pirate ship to annex another pirate ship. Generally speaking, similar beatings are not fatal, but only to let the surrendering colleagues understand the status of the group. In the order of high and low, some self-holding powerful guys in the province rushed to seize power.

Su Li was obviously not interested in listening to the screams coming from inside, and hurriedly made a please gesture to Henry: "Master, please follow me to the Governor's Mansion. There are many people here. There are also many other forces. Spy. In addition, I still have a lot of questions that need your guidance."

"Let's go, I also want to see what you have done in the past few months." Henry said three steps to the carriage and got directly in. Su Li followed closely, and when the two of them sat firmly, the coachman immediately shook the reins, and the two horses began to gallop hard, and soon galloped on the road.

Ares dragged his fat body and ran all the way, no slower than a carriage. And it's better in terms of endurance.

Not long after the two left, the wharf exploded in an instant, because they all knew that Suli was the supreme ruler of this peninsula, and he must be the high-ranking member of the West Hartland Kingdom, so they started to each other. Inquiry, especially the sailor and captain who just got off the ship were all locked in the tavern.

Unfortunately, these people are just temporary workers hired by Wahid, who don't know anything at all, so they can't answer any questions at all.

Henry came to Willen in secret this time for two main purposes. One is to adjust his strategy for Amn as quickly as possible so that class contradictions can be brought to the fore. At the same time, the six-member council loses control of the local government, and at the same time cuts them off from the horse The ties between the colonies of the Zitek Continent in order to achieve the purpose of isolation.

In addition to ~www.ltnovel.com~, we need to check the progress of the construction of the underground city, and when will we officially start the trade road in the dark region.

When he built the floating city, he almost ran out of all mythril and gem reserves, and the only thing left was allocated to Borken to build the mage tower, so it must be replenished as soon as possible, otherwise many things will not be able to unfold.

In addition, he also wanted to see the work of the dark elves’ faith conversion. This was an agreement made with the dark girl Elise Tsui. If the goddess did not earnestly fulfill the agreement, he could only let Viconia go in front of it. Come to preach and use Apodel, son of Slaughter, to fill the gap in faith.

Although he has obtained the second entrance to the dark region-Dragon Spear Castle, Henry still pays more attention to Willen because it is an important transportation hub. The three modes of transportation by sea, air and land are unique, plus The Nelancer Islands are within easy reach. Some things that are inconvenient to come out directly can be transported by pirates...
