Black sail

Chapter 481 CXVI. Loyalty cannot be expressed in words
The capital of Alan, at the feet of the emperor.

The billowing black smoke from the Xincheng Industrial Zone rose into the sky and turned into a haze that blocked out the sun.

The hazy fog blurred the vision, and dull, shining thunder was wandering in the sky.

The rain was pouring down, and every loud raindrop was shattered in the crushing impact.

Conqueror Avenue.

The road is made of giant granite stones that fit together seamlessly, and on both sides there is a long row of blue crystal column lights that seem to have no end, providing lighting even in rainy weather with low visibility.

It got its name because this route was the breach created by the corpse of a ten-mile dragon when the emperor went north to kill the emperor, like a kite with a broken string.

The blood of the entire country, and even the entire Western Continent, is transfused here. The road system must be complex, with different roads for cargo transportation, population movement, and military passages.

The princes and nobles also have exclusive passages.

Even so, there was a long queue in front of Nashano's carriage, waiting to be inspected by the Royal City Army with indifferent expressions like machines.

The Royal City Army is the most special army in the Aramean military system. It is directly under the jurisdiction of the Emperor and can only be given orders by the Emperor himself or the Royal Guard.

It is a violent organization that is no less powerful than the old Aramean witch-hunting secret office.

Even Augustus, the current acting chairman of the Aran Military Committee and the supreme commander of all the armies, has no authority to command the Royal City Army.

Cicero and Augustus are the emperor's right-hand men and the highest-ranking people in Aram today, except for the emperor and the pope.

At the cold barbed wire checkpoint, the bright beam of light emitted by the magic lens on the tower rotated and scanned.

Li Site has rarely seen giants over the years.

The most recent time was last year in the Secret Harbor of Linden City, when I encountered the somewhat demented giant brought by Marcus.

It is known that there are eleven tall towers left over from the ancient era, and the Emperor does not allow anyone to be in a higher position than him.

Wonders must be created, but those magnificent buildings are beyond human power.

In the second year after the founding of the country, when he changed the national system to a dictatorship, he personally led the army to conquer the Abandoned Land in the southern West Sea and ruled a tribe of giants who made a living by raising mammoths and behemoths.

The Overlord also conquered there and made all the giants slaves.

And the Emperor did it.

In the past two thousand years, only these two people failed to do so, even during the era of the powerful Empress Enigma.

As a result, in the early days of the founding of New Alan, the idea of ​​shocking the world and other countries taking advantage of its initial weakness to besiege it was abandoned.

Of course, now is the Age of Discovery, and the word "slave" has gradually faded, but there is no difference in essence. The giants have become the emperor's sweatshop laborers.

He built an imperial palace that was no less spectacular than the eleven towers, and it also suppressed the great tower of the Eternal Sect that had existed since ancient times, the iconic skyscraper clock tower.

Now, I saw those five or six meter tall monsters walking around again from the car window. Every step they took brought a dull echo. The rain poured down on them. Their iron bones and huge bodies made them the most powerful warriors in the world.

Even so, he was conquered by the Emperor.

Li Site didn't dare to take any risks this time. He came and left on the same day, and did not stay for more than six hours.

Marcus said he would wait for him at the National Museum in Dragonstone Square, which was one of the few places where the Eternal Cult dared not monitor him.

The traffic ahead slowly loosened up, and those entering from this road were all Alan bureaucrats.

When a soldier from the royal city lifted the curtain of the carriage.

Li Site was still a little nervous. Even before entering the imperial capital, Li Site had already felt the emperor's tyranny. The terrifying and boundless invisible pressure swept over like a wave.

The Arameans living in the imperial capital may not be able to perceive it, but Li Site is playing a counter-acting role to the emperor.

I repeated to myself three times, "The Emperor is the Diva," and gave myself this psychological suggestion before I regained my composure.

It can only be said that the anti-imperialist elements in Alan are really bold and daring. They enter and leave the royal court but secretly oppose it, which requires extremely strong psychological qualities.

Fortunately, Nashano said that Dragonstone Square is far away from the Imperial Palace, outside the Central Ring. With the help of giant labor and magic industry, blood from all over the world is transported to this city, which may have created the most magnificent and huge capital in the past two thousand years. The Imperial Palace cannot be seen from Dragonstone Square.

"Show your card."

The King City Army soldier wearing black armor constructed of magic energy said indifferently, his expression could not be seen on his face covered by the iron helmet, but he looked murderous.

Nashano is a hereditary noble of Alan and responds naturally.

The internal circuit structure was checked with a magic scanning instrument, and it turned out that the count was from a town near the capital of Esnor Province.

But the Royal City Army did not give face to any nobles. The Emperor granted permission that the provincial dukes had to be honestly inspected when they came. The "Lords Act" made the old nobles of Alan be kept in a circle, so how could they not have the desire to usurp the throne? They still relied on periodic tax dividends to become wealthy, but when people reached that level, they not only pursued this, but also wanted the ultimate respect and the monopoly of power, which is why there were so many anti-imperialists.

"Who is that person?"

The Royal City Army pointed at List, who was wearing a hooded black robe next to Nashano.

"One of my followers, an honorary adventurer."

"Take off your hat."

The Royal City Army was not polite at all. During the Continental Martial Arts Competition, the management would be much looser, and even some gray forces from the Western Continent would be allowed to come in and let them gamble and increase their bets. But now there are more than two months before the Stargazing Festival finals. It is not the right time. The Royal City Guard must do their job diligently. During the Stargazing Festival, the Imperial Guard will dispatch guard forces again.

The reason why the nobles wanted to check was because anti-imperialists were not a secret. It was well known in Aran and they were always on guard against unexpected situations.

"He has recently contracted leprosy and cannot be seen by others."

"Hurry up, there are people waiting behind."

Those who walked this passage were all nobles, and they had plenty of time, so there was a long queue behind Nashano's carriage.

A few seconds passed.

Seeing that the man in black robe had not reacted, Wang Chengjun directly asked another soldier to go to the side window of the car, reach in and pull off Li Site's hat.

As Nashano said, he had contracted leprosy and had pustules on his face, which made him look ugly. This was naturally the camouflage technique of the Thieves Guild.

"Your card."

Wang Chengjun said indifferently.

After Li Site took out the card, he verified the circuit structure.

Generally, only new adventurers will sell their identity cards at a low price, and they are the focus of special care.

He was indeed an honorary adventurer, a second-generation immigrant from Lostra.

After taking a closer look at Li Site's appearance, he found that he had high cheekbones and deep nasolabial folds, so the King City Army was somewhat disgusted with him because of his leprosy.

"It's alright, let's go."

He pulled down the curtains, and behind him came two hippogriffs covered in beautiful feathers, pulling an ornately decorated sedan. He waved to the carriage, allowing the next noble to be inspected.

Nashano's carriage successfully entered the city and continued driving. This was the last level. Next, he went forward without hesitation and headed straight for Dragonstone Square. After picking up Sharon, he left immediately.

Li Site also breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're more reliable than you look."

Li Site did not bring anyone on this trip except the extremely loyal Nashano.

Swann told me that the Arlan Navy has set its sights on Black Sail, which means that the situation on Muron's side is very difficult. Not only the army and the sect, but the navy may also come to attack.

Can't stay any longer.

Swann continued to stay in Dugli to follow up on the navy appointment, and also taught Viola and Nishi who were transferred from Port of Heaven how to do business. Swann used to be the regional chief of staff of the Thieves Guild, which was equivalent to the boss of a gang, and he had no job to do.

The matter of the Hades Messenger is very difficult, but we still have to buy an opportunity and let Sarrett find a chance to kill him. At the same time, we should also keep an eye on Ben. Ben is a former shadow messenger and a dark guy. Although he is no longer a threat now, we still need to keep an eye on him. Being Dugli's trade representative is a lucrative job, and that clown will not be ungrateful.

Garen is a native of Aran with a good background. He is trustworthy and has a good image and temperament. He can make his adventure group known through some respectable things, and also find some trustworthy locals to form Black Sail's white glove in Aran.

Ryan and Kawatetsu must go back to Mulon first. There are too few people there now, and Tianguo Port is also sending people over.

Lostra's attitude and capital injection, as well as its cooperation with the Seventh Amendment, are crucial.

In the first and second quarters, Tianguo Port was under vigorous construction, and Mo Yutong was developing the East China Sea CBD. With huge investments, it was normal to report losses in the financial reports.

But if there is still a fiscal deficit by the end of the year, many shareholders will withdraw their shares, and he will not be able to maintain his position as the top boss. Donghai will have to start a new season, and even if he suppresses the situation, it will continue to be in deficit and fall into a vicious circle. There will be countless mad dogs in Donghai, and he will end up like Dollinger.

Hard work over and over again.

Li Si opened the curtains a little and looked at the magnificent New England Gothic-style buildings.

He has been put on the road to death.

And now I have to go meet the Dragon Lord God who has come back from the dead.
