Black sail

Chapter 9Ⅸ. Troubled Times
Inside a theater in Linden City.

Li Si Te originally planned to end the matter of Linden City, hand over the key money to the sheriff, and then walk away, but he did not expect to receive another order.

The magistrate returned the gift money and asked Li Si Te to stay here for another month. The Sir had a big job and needed a reliable person to do it.

He had been ordered, if Hei Fan easily wiped out that casino, let them take over the job.

Li Si Te's first reaction when he heard it was to directly reject it. If the group of Lao Deng called it a big job, I'm afraid that all ten or so people like himself would fall into it.

Until the Sheriff stated the terms.

Black Sail is already notorious now, and it seems to be on the rise, but it has reached a bottleneck, like walking a tightrope.

Except for a few big pirates who are famous all over the world and even have a fleet in Tianguo Port, Li Si Te is already the group of pirates who have mixed into the upper reaches of the pyramid.

This means notoriety, but it is only feared as a group of thugs. The wealth and fame are completely mismatched.

Killing and extorting goods is only the initial accumulation. If you want to go further, you have to start a big business, and you must have a network, not to mention that Li Si Te is still being targeted by the governor of the East Coast Sea Department.

As long as Li Si Te's order is completed, the lord above the sheriff has an old acquaintance. Li Si Te can go to him and get a privateer's license. A hiding system was officially launched.

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

Li Si Te has also heard the name of the so-called old acquaintance, this person has a very complicated background, and the things he did are quite outrageous. In a simple understanding, it is Beima Xiaochaijin, a descendant of the former royal family, and the umbrella of the well-known evil forces. Well, no one dares to touch him, unless there is an army to attack, he doesn'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.

The second is that Philip VI, the orthodox successor, went to the capital of Alan for peace talks, but was coerced into ceding more territory, and flatly refused. As a result, he died in a foreign country, and only a coffin returned.

Thinking of the old king who killed himself and became benevolent, and the wimpy VI, all the people of Pema who had a bit of a temper became angry with blood.

In addition, there was a change of settlement currency, and the terrifying depreciation caused all the wealth of Bema 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 creditor's rights. What the Principality of Bema owes to the common people has become a debt to the Alan Empire. It is tantamount to saying that the Alan Empire has robbed the money of everyone in the entire country, and everyone is giving the Alan Empire a disgrace. The cheapness of death is labor.

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

In addition to the fact that some old nobles still have their heritage, they can still occupy one side of the land. The Principality of Berma is about to become a robber country, full of bandits and bandits, and it is a mess. In the archipelago trade, there are many foreigners who take risks to do business, and the chaos is even more chaotic. One can imagine the life of the common people.

The current puppet king is also an idiot, and those who have been supported really regard themselves as personalities. Li Si Te 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 blockman is still playing tricks, not saying what kind of job it 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.

"What kind of private plunder license is a verbal promise, and I just agreed verbally. Now there are still sailors on board, and I won't be able to leave for a while. Let's make the promise 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 to be here.

"It's just that after staying for a long time, the bounty hunters and the navy are both problems."

Since the Great Wetland Uprising was suppressed, Woerman didn't trust any nobles at all. These burdens can only be used as winners.

"Ham, Brother Kill is here, come a thousand people, each of our brothers will be one, and he will kill nine hundred and ninety."

Li Si Te said casually.

"I thank you."

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

Not long after leaving the theater, I met Fern who was rushing here.

"Why are you back?"

Li Site immediately had a premonition that something was wrong.

Fern informed her why she came, saying that a bounty hunter had targeted Black Sail, but Oakes and Ren had already chopped it up.

"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 blessings come to the door?"

Fern was very interested, and it was a joy to get a lot out of the casino robbery. For the rest of the crew, what happened to Swann was a joy, so what else?
Li Site talked about the privateering license and Beima Xiaochaijin.

Fern's poker face couldn't guess what he was thinking, so he held back for a few seconds and said, "Two to five."

Li Si Te had tasted the words, anyway, he hadn't made a decision yet, so he had to talk to him in private.

"Swann? 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 submit 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-story building. They had already noticed it.

"Leave the two of you alone, it's a good thing anyway, let's open the champagne."

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

It was dusk.

Sea cliff giant cave, secret port.

The water surface is sparkling, and on the trestle bridge, which is only one meter higher than the sea level, weak torches are inserted on the wooden pillars to provide lighting. There are more than a dozen boats docked in the cave, some of which are smuggled boats of the nobles of Linden City, and some are not clean. .

Among them is Li Si Te's "Revenge of Sir Fumak".

The reason why it is called this name is because Li Site believes that it is in harmony with "Frost Cuckoo Crying Blood".

Fumakqing Revenge has a total length of 46 meters and a tonnage of 480 tons, but the cave is dark, and the oil lamp on the ship is not on. Only a corner of it can be seen through the torch lighting.
There were many vicious-looking people on the trestle bridge, including pirates and guards of smuggling ships, but they all got out of the way when they saw Li Si Te and his party.

There is a man named Archer on the boat who has been guarding their boat. In the past two days, he has slaughtered a few people who have no eyesight. He is extremely skilled. I am afraid that even gold-level adventurers are no match.But the doctor on this ship was relatively easy to talk to. After some inquiries, he learned that it was the Black Sail Pirates who had recently gained fame and killed the family of the lord of Blue Bay Port. They were the outlaws among the outlaws.

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

If you haven't seen him, hear his voice first.

"Come back and kill the general, my proudest 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!" Li Site yelled, and added: "I vaguely remember...forgot, and there is still power...forgot."

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 a machete ~ carry a fire on your back ~ no need to hide on the guillotine ~ share rewards ~ you and me ~ if you are willing to risk your life, you will get rich ~"

Since today is 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 short of a person.

"Where's the doctor?"

Fern asked Heywood.

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

"Where is the brothel?"

Heywood with blood red skin replied.

"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, the high and low is a [-] ruler, and the connection king belongs to it.

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.
