Mithril Throne of Forgotten Realms

As a result, countless towns on the archipelago have become extremely prosperous. There is no need to worry about being attacked by pirates, and there is still a lot of money to be made.There are even quite a few people who usually do business. Once a pirate ship goes out to sea, they will immediately transform into vicious pirates, making money and robbing without delay.

Therefore, many guys who couldn't get along in the surrounding countries of Falling Star Sea gathered here, resulting in mixed fish and dragons on the archipelago, which is a dangerous but full of opportunities.

Just like Conch Town.

Fang Yi walked on the small road in the town for a while, and saw no less than five waves of adventure teams of players.As the saying goes, danger and opportunity coexist. It is a good idea for these players who are confident in their own strength to come here to seek gold.

At this moment, Fang Yi still had a question in his heart, and instead of staying on the street, he walked quickly to the pier of Hailuo Town. After seeing the scene clearly, Fang Yi frowned.

The wharf is not big enough to accommodate a large merchant ship.

But now there are busy workers coming and going on the pier, and what is parked at the pier is not a merchant ship or a pirate ship, but a large ship that has not yet been fully completed.The hull has been basically completed, only a small part of the hull under the side of the ship has not been closed, and the waterproof glue has only been applied halfway, exposing the new white wood section inside.

A dozen people who were obviously pirates stood around the pier, patrolling vigilantly back and forth.The laborers on the wharf all worked with their heads down, and they didn't dare to show their air, but they all had bitterness and hatred on their faces, as if coming to work here was not voluntary.

Are the pirates building ships?

Fang Yi's brows became tighter and tighter. After watching the scene for a while, he retreated silently, summoned Supreme Treasure from the hiding place, and then flew to other surrounding towns on the island to have a look.

really.As long as the wharf is not too small, almost every village and town's seaport is building ships, big and small, but without exception, they are all new ships that have just started construction recently.

It shouldn't be, this situation.Do you think too highly of Peach Blossom Island?

Don't talk about these new ships, the pirates on the Sea of ​​Falling Stars have dozens of large ships and 1000 people in small gatherings. If you want to say that they are more than enough to attack Peach Blossom Island, why is there a need to build new ships?

And although the pirates live on the ship and rely on the ship for food, sailing and building a ship are two different things!

Where did so many professional shipbuilders come from on the pirate islands?You must know that Fang Yi had specially sought out shipbuilding talents in Xueshan City.In the end, nothing was found; even if the ship blueprints were obtained from the great scholar Gelbo, it would take a long time to train shipbuilding technicians.

These professionals are firmly controlled by the rulers of each main city, and it is impossible for Gelbo to hire boatmen from Star Twilight City... Is it possible that these pirates still "golden houses hide their beauty"?Or was it a sudden epiphany?

There is a big problem~

Fang Yi looked down from the back of the dragon, and while observing the semi-finished ships, he rubbed his chin subconsciously, smelling a strong smell of conspiracy.

……

Start today.On the wharf of Hailuo Town, there is a human assassin with a yellow complexion. He hangs out in the tavern every day, and he is very familiar with the tavern owner. The whole style of a dude.

Players who saw this situation all showed disdainful expressions, and sneered at the behavior of human assassins: instead of going to other places to carefully collect clues, they only wanted to get information from the tavern owner.This method of sacrificing the basics and chasing the last has long been eliminated by the old players of "Miracle".

Even if you spend tens of thousands of gold coins in this tavern, you still can't get the clues you can't get.

The human assassin is naturally Fang Yi.

There are three small towns in a radius of dozens of miles. Conch Town has the fewest pirates and is also the most lax. It may be because this town is located in the center of the Pirate Islands, and the pirates don't worry much about safety.

Fang Yi has spent a lot of money in the tavern these days, and he is very familiar with the tavern owner, but Fang Yi's ultimate goal is not to get any quest clues from here, but just to build a good relationship with the boss.

……

This afternoon, Fang Yi had a drink with the boss in the tavern as usual—of course, it was Fang Yi's consumption.Both of them were slightly drunk.Fang Yi glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he moved his head into the bar.

"Hi...I said boss, brother, my money is a little tight recently, I want to ask you to find me a job." Fang Yi hiccupped and said.

When the tavern owner heard this, he looked at Fang Yi suspiciously: "You, money is tight? The money you spent in my tavern these two days is enough to buy a small house on this island..."

Fang Yi smiled unwillingly, lowered his voice and said, "Oh...don't mention it. That's the money I stole from home. These days, I've been busy drinking and looking for girls. I've already spent almost all of it. You know~ As long as you let If I survive these few days, a servant will come and give me money."

Hearing this, the tavern owner showed a dazed expression, then slapped his chest, and said solemnly: "It's a small matter, no problem! What kind of job are you looking for? Just live in the first-class room in my tavern for two years. How about God? I'll give you a [-]% discount on the accommodation fee, and I'll pay when I have money!"

Fang Yi listened, and despised the tavern owner with a slick face in his heart, and said in his heart that he only gave me a [-]% discount after spending so long with you.

However, Fang Yi also had another purpose, so naturally he couldn't just wait to die in this tavern, so he politely rejected the other party's offer.The tavern owner just smiled and said, "Then tell me, where do you want to find a job? No matter which shop in Conch Town it is, it will always give me face."

"Hey, thank you in advance,"

Fang Yi smiled, and then said mysteriously: "I heard that there is a shortage of manpower for shipbuilding at the pier, and the rewards are good. I want to try it there."

"Huh? This..." The tavern owner hesitated a little.

Fang Yi saw that there was something going on, so he quickly said while the iron was hot: "Don't worry, my family is a shipbuilder, and this kind of work will definitely not trouble me."

After speaking, Fang Yi took out a small bag of gold coins from his waist and put them in the opponent's hand, making an expression of eager anticipation.

"All right!"

See gold coins.The hesitation of the tavern owner disappeared immediately, he laughed and tucked the money bag into his arms, "To tell you the truth, if I didn't have such a tavern, I would have wanted to hang out there for a few days. The wages are too rich~ you Wait for my news~”

Fang Yi smiled happily after hearing this, chatted with the owner of the tavern, and then left the tavern.

Standing on the street, Fang Yi looked up at the direction of the pier, his eyes gradually narrowed, and his hand subconsciously touched the handle of the knife at his waist.

According to the current speed of shipbuilding.In less than a month, there will be at least [-] medium and large ships in the island archipelago out of thin air. These ships are enough to carry [-] pirates. If they travel day and night, they can sail to Peach Blossom Island in a week.

This is just what Fang Yi saw after flying around for several hours. There must be shipyards in other parts of the Pirate Islands.Rough estimate.How come there are fifty newly built ships this time, if they all go to Peach Blossom Island...

Then Peach Blossom Island will face too much pressure!

It is impossible for Fang Yi to turn a blind eye to this situation. On the one hand, he notifies Chen Jing to increase the defensive strength of Taohua Island, and at the same time informs his allies, Cyan Heaven, to send support.

By careful observation.Fang Yi discovered that not only pirates were in charge of the work on the pier, but also some unknown players—these people were hidden in the crowd of NPCs everywhere. If you don’t observe carefully, it is difficult to find these people wearing ordinary life People are players.

This is interesting... Looking at the appearance of these people, it is obvious that they are not here to work, but they seem to be hidden secret whistles...

Has anyone already participated in this event?

Thinking of the seriousness of the situation this time, Fang Yi came up with the idea of ​​sneaking into the dock to work.

……

The power of money is omnipotent.

Early the next morning, Fang Yi received a notice from the owner of the tavern, and under the introduction of the other party, he formally entered the tightly sealed dock.

Speak up.The tavern owner didn't believe that the second-generation ancestor in front of him knew any shipbuilding skills—even if he was really the young master of the shipyard, how could he learn the shipbuilding skills by himself?

But collecting people's money and eliminating disasters for others, the tavern owner couldn't restrain his excitement when he thought of the shiny star diamond in the money bag.

Ha~ This prodigal son is also silly and cute.Just help him~ Anyway, he's on the pier, doing odd jobs, doing physical labor or something, it's okay--the tavern owner thought happily.

……

Fang Yi put most of his equipment into his backpack, and put on a few shabby clothes like those of the common people on the island. He also wore a cloth hat with a certain amount of sunshade, and put on the disguise technique. The life of the old fisherman.

After getting the wooden sign that marked his name and identity, Fang Yi mingled with a few NPC workers, picking up things on the ground while stealthily observing the surrounding situation.

There are seven to 80 workers working here, some of whom are responsible for mining timber on the island and then transporting it to the dock, and the rest are all working on the dock.

Every worker has a unique ID tag, and they have to go through inspections when they enter and leave the dock, and there are often pirates who will randomly check the crowd, which is why Fang Yi would rather use cumbersome methods to get a worker's identity than take the risk of sneaking in here s reason.

If you really want to do something sabotage, just ask Supreme Treasure to come forward and sink a small boat in a matter of minutes. Anyway, there is no defense force on the boat now.But Fang Yi is more concerned about the secrets here, and the first priority now is to spy on information.

"You guys! Go over there and take those boxes of rivets to the boat!"

Fang Yi was stealthily observing his surroundings, when a man who looked like a foreman suddenly yelled loudly, pointing at Fang Yi's side and shouting: "What are you dawdling about, hurry up!"

Several workers immediately walked to the side of the pier without saying a word, Fang Yi smiled wryly to himself, but there was nothing he could do, he could only walk obediently behind them.

These rivets are actually iron rods with one side sharpened. They are of different sizes and are packed in several wooden boxes. The small ones are like a little finger, and the big ones are more than a foot long. There is no rust on the surface. It looks like it was built recently.

Fang Yi's heart moved, and he immediately thought: These pirates have the ability to forge iron products on a large scale?

Rivets vary in size, and the few people walking in front rushed to move the box containing the big rivets, even a fool could tell that the box was lighter.Fang Yi grinned, and didn't argue with a few people—now that Fang Yi has 18 points of strength, it's no problem to hold one of these things with one arm.

Several other people were still waiting to see Fang Yi's jokes, but they didn't expect him to look relaxed, so they could only look at each other helplessly, and walked towards the boat.

"Hey brother, let me help you,"

Fang Yi was holding a box of rivets, and Gu Kong came to a bald human man in his forties. While reaching out, he grabbed the iron rod from the opponent's hand and threw it into his box. He said with a smile: "My new rivets , I'll do more work~"

The bald man glanced at Fang Yi quite unexpectedly, and then showed an expression of "you are quite sensible".
