Alien world

Chapter 247 100. Free Trade
Two minutes later, the shaking Fast came to the cabin.

"...Don't think that you won't be scolded because you are the lord."

"I actually wanted to call Francois." Annan said apologetically, "Everyone knows that you don't do anything except fishing."

This kind of talk worked well for Michael, not for Fast.

Fortunately, Fast also knew what happened: "Louis City accepted our help, but the Seahawks didn't want to give up. The Scarlet Witch said that if we help them, we will fight together... I believe this group of pirates with poor brains can do it. .”

The red witch is suspected to be the red dragon, or it is inextricably related to the red dragon.Red dragons are like white dragons, they cannot be understood logically.

"Then let me talk to the Scarlet Witch..."

The portal disappeared, and Fast came to the captain's cabin and knocked on the door.

"Who's outside?"

"Annan urged you to get up and do something, now."

Not long after, Francois opened the door wearing a coat: "What's wrong?"

"He wants to negotiate with the Scarlet Witch, you should go there."

"Annan? Why don't you go?"

"My mission is at a critical time." Fast said solemnly: "The fish here are completely different from Xingyue Bay...they are extremely cunning."

"All right……"

Francois could only sigh and had nothing to say, let the New Initial, which was docked at the port, approach the pirate ship outside the port, connect with the Nautilus, and led the heavy Wanma onto the deck.

"Long time no see, beautiful Lady Scarlet Witch."

"That sissy said you have a new cooperation? Do you want to rob Louis City with me or buy stolen goods?"

Annan kept smiling: "Actually, I suggest you give up looting Louis City and trade with them instead..."

The Scarlet Witch couldn't stop laughing because of Annan's proposal, and the pirates on the deck also laughed.She shouted to her men: "What are we!"

"Sea Eagle!"

"What is a sea eagle!"

"pirate!"

The Scarlet Witch looked at Annan at the other end of the portal: "You let pirates do business?"

"It's faster to do business than steal money."

Slightly quieter, the Scarlet Witch stared at Annan calmly: "This is impossible..."

"How much wealth can you get from robbing a port or a town? How much do you pay? We signed a devil's contract. If your income is less than 500 kinnars...then you can plunder the city of Louis."

As the smartest pirate, the Scarlet Witch has no reason to refuse.Next, Annan called his old friend Brudona and asked her to make a contract.

"In order to do business, you fucking deal with the devil and let the pirate become a businessman!" The appearance of the devil pushed the Scarlet Witch's emotions to the peak: "You are more sea eagle than sea eagle!"

After the Scarlet Witch was dealt with, François ran non-stop to the land to negotiate with the mayor of Louis City, Nicholas Hayes.

"King of the North, I am honored to meet you..."

"Hello, Nicholas Hayes. To put it simply, I hope you will allow my crew and recruited pirates to trade freely in the city of Louis. I will ensure that the pirates will not harm or plunder you."

"Just trade?"

"Just trade."

……

"Hand over your money!"

Several vicious pirates surrounded the porter who couldn't run away.

The frightened porter took out more than [-] copper coins from his pocket, crying, "I only have these..."

The pirates counted out twenty coppers, handed him a magic newspaper and the remaining coppers, and let him go.The escaped porter clutched the newspaper and stared blankly at the pirates chasing the others...

The young aristocrat was stopped by the pirates, and he took out his money bag graciously, with the melodious sound of gold coins colliding.

"He's got Kinnall!"

A pirate shouted, and the pirates picked up the young nobleman and ran to the port.

"I paid the money, you can't do this! My father is—"

The blocked girl shrank back screaming: "I have no money... Please let me go..." Then seeing the pirates looking at each other, they walked away in disgust.

Pirates traded in Louisville the way they understood it: take their money and stuff them with goods.

Those who have no money, those who have a few silver coins will be kidnapped to the port, and they will be shown "The Fall of the Mage Tower" or "Betal's Redemption", and those who have a few gold coins will stuff dozens of pounds of cement. The aristocrats use the Susan spinning machine to block the door, and don't even think about going in and out without paying——

Chaos spread from the port to the entire city-state, and the horrified people found that the guards were indifferent, not even letting the professionals and pirates clash!
The key to letting the city lord Nicholas Hayes fulfill the agreement is that they paid the commercial tax normally.

"It's fucking unbelievable... that pirates are paying taxes..."

Nicholas Hayes looked at the city-state in chaos and the taxes that were sent from time to time, with mixed emotions.

Equally emotional are the local residents.At first, this kind of forced buying and selling made them miserable, but due to the strength of the pirates, they dared not say a word, so they could only curse the guards for their inaction... Then, they discovered the value of spinning machines, magic newspapers, and magic images.

They have barely heard of magic images, and it is said that nobles like to use this thing to record dirty deeds.Magic newspaper... 20 copper coins for a magic item?Did the pirates miscalculate?

In addition to collecting money from the city of Louis, Annan paid some money-he bought all the slaves in the city.

The panic caused by the pirates subsided, but the hundreds of slaves aroused the fear of the locals-they watched so many people get into the cabin and never come out...

"Is this what business is? Great!"

In the captain's cabin of the Nautilus, the Scarlet Witch is lying on a pile of gold coins in a non-figurative way—the suspicion that she is the Red Dragon is increased by one point.

After the first day, dozens of Susan Spinning Machines and Philosopher's Stones were "sold", and thousands of copies of "Xingyuewan News" were "sold", and some locals even took the initiative to find pirates to buy the previous issues It's just that you don't earn as much as the former.

According to the initial distribution of spoils, the Scarlet Witch will get a quarter: for example, a magic newspaper is 20 copper coins, and 5 copper coins are hers.

Sharing some benefits is better than turning Puppet Harbor into a pirate port—of course, the best outcome is that both sides will lose, and Xingyue Bay will earn more—Annan can't do that kind of thing yet.

"Continue tomorrow." Annan said.Louis City should be able to plunder again... two more days of trade.

Back on the Initial, Annan and Francois said they wanted them to continue going south.

"Where is your mistress?" Fast asked.

"A ratman clan ran to Middle Earth and just broke through Teoro County. The Obiris Strait is not far from there. I need you to go inland along the bay and explore the situation there."

It takes two years to walk from Xingyue Bay, one year for a caravan, five to seven months for a high-quality mount, but less than two months for sailing.

Still not fast, but will get the news before Olmedo.
