No one really thinks I'm stupid, right?

Da Huang was thinking about the Cangyu Palace.

Lin Bei was annoyed by his shaking, which affected his feast.

"No, no! I hate being an official the most!"

"Uh..."

Huang Kai was stunned.

He could say such a thing?

Doesn't his conscience hurt?

After the meal, everyone discussed the management of the island again.

Lin Bei planned to establish the same order as the Dragon Kingdom.

No matter where he went, he must not live up to the name of the lawful.

The North Island of the Dark Sea became an orderly place.

A force gradually took shape and was about to rise here....

The next day.

Lin Bei and Da Huang came to the beach with Xiao Tang.

The sky was clear and blue, the waves were roaring, and the vast sea was boundless.

There were more than ten large ships parked on the coast.

Countless lizard miners were carrying the mined ore onto the ship.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

Cheng Hu and others were supervising on the side.

They planned to transport the ore inland to the trading market to exchange for other resources.

Although the island is rich in minerals, it is not enough to have only stones.

Lin Bei decided to go with them.

Let's see if we can exchange some delicious food...

After a while.

More than ten large ships were loaded and ready to set sail.

"Island Master Lin, please get on board." Lu Junze said.

"Yes."

Lin Bei walked onto the first large ship.

Huang Kai and others immediately followed his footsteps.

Soon, with a long and high-pitched horn, more than ten large ships slowly started and gradually went farther and farther on the vast sea.

Lin Bei stood on the deck, looking into the distance, the sea breeze blew slowly, gently brushing his hair, feeling very comfortable.

Xiaotang was even more expectant.

"This is my first time leaving the North Island of the Dark Sea. I don't know what the outside world is like."

"The inland is much more lively than the island."

Lu Junze smiled.

And briefly introduced the surrounding pattern. This sea area is of course called the Dark Sea. There are countless islands and various forces distributed in it.

As the name suggests, the North Island of the Dark Sea is the northernmost island.

The geographical location is relatively remote.

If you want to reach the inland, you need to cross the entire sea area.

The voyage was very smooth at the beginning.

Until two hours later.

A crew member ran over hurriedly with a telescope in hand, sweating profusely.

"My lords, there is a fleet ahead, blocking our route."

"What are you stopping us for?"

Lin Bei showed curiosity.

Then, they came to the deck and looked in the direction of the crew's finger.

Sure enough.

Seeing a dark mass in front, there were nearly a hundred large ships, all parked on the sea, as if they were deliberately waiting for Lin Bei and his arrival.

Cheng Hu frowned.

"What's this for? Aren't we going to run into pirates?"

"Not pirates, they're from Feiyu Pavilion."

Lu Junze saw that the boats ahead were all flying blue flags with fish patterns on them.

"Feiyu Pavilion?"

Cheng Hu and the others looked at each other. Even if they had never been out of the island, they had heard of this name, because Feiyu Pavilion was the largest force in the Dark Sea.

Lin Bei certainly didn't care.

"Are they here to rob our ore?"

"Probably not, please rest assured, island owner."

Lu Junze explained: "After all, Feiyu Pavilion is a well-known force. It won't do anything blatantly robbed in broad daylight, because once it gets a bad reputation, it will be isolated by other forces."

"Oh, they're not robbing..."

Lin Bei muttered, but he was even more worried, and even a little regretful...

Da Huang asked curiously.

"Since they're not robbing, why are they stopping us? Won't this waste our time?"

"I don't know either."

Lu Junze spread his hands and said.

After all, it was the first time to go out to sea to sell ore. I had never experienced it before, and I didn't know the rules of this business.

As the two fleets got closer and closer.

Lin Bei's big ship slowly stopped, about 20 meters away from the other ship.

On the opposite ship, there was a rough bearded man, squinting and shouting.

"Which fleet are you from?"

"We are from the North Island of the Dark Sea, and we plan to go inland to sell some ore."

Lu Junze explained.

The big man rolled his eyes and looked strange.

Isn't the North Island the territory of the Lizard Clan?

Did Jiger get killed?

But it doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with them.

"Our Feiyu Pavilion's island is nearby, so this strait belongs to our Feiyu Pavilion's territorial waters. If you want to pass through here, you need to hand over one-tenth of the transported materials."

The big man's tone was firm, and it seemed that there was no doubt.

Lu Junze's face sank.

It turned out that they were here to collect tolls.

But one-tenth is too much, right?

That is to say, for every ten ships, one ship has to be surrendered.

Every time they pass by, they have to hand over so many supplies, which is really a loss.

The big man continued.

"This is the rule on the sea. When the lizardmen passed by here before, we also took a commission like this. You can see it by looking at the ship behind me."

The nearly one hundred ships behind him were loaded with various supplies.

They were all handed over by the passing fleet.

If you want to do business inland, you must pay the "toll"!

Lin Bei looked back and forth.

He found that there were really a lot of things on their ship, and there must be delicious food inside, because there must be food transported in the passing ships.

Lu Junze gritted his teeth.

"Brother, I can pay the toll when passing through you, but one-tenth is too high and we can't accept it."

"Oh? Do you want to break the rules?"

The big man's mouth was frivolous, with an underlying threat.

The other surrounding ships were slowly approaching this side, and there were countless members of the Feiyu Pavilion on the deck, staring at them eagerly.

In the blink of an eye, a siege was formed.

The big man jumped up with a few younger brothers.

Jump directly to Lin Bei's boat.

The leather boots clicked on the deck as he walked step by step.

"If you don't cooperate, we won't kill people or steal goods, but we will take coercive measures and leave a shipload of supplies behind. Of course...if we accidentally hurt someone during this period, it was not our intention."

"you..."

Lu Junze and others looked solemn, even though they had overthrown the lizard man.

But the overall power is still too weak.

It is far behind the long-established organizations.

If you are weak, you will be beaten, and it is inevitable to be bullied when you go out.

"Get up and let me talk to him." Lin Bei pushed Lu Junze away and stepped forward with an indifferent expression.

Lu Junze's eyes were surprised, wondering what Lin Bei could talk to him about? Could he still negotiate?

The big man looked indifferent.

"We at Feiyu Pavilion have set a rule that cannot be changed no matter who comes."

Huang Kai stared at him with small eyes, feeling that this guy had an unlucky look on his face, as if there was a big word 'danger' written on his forehead.

How dare you set rules with Director Lin.

Isn't this seeking death?

Lin Bei first opened a lollipop, put it in his mouth, and asked calmly.

"Who are you from?"

"Flying Fish Pavilion!"

The big man was sonorous and powerful.

Lin Bei nodded, feeling that the name Feiyu Pavilion was unpleasant.

"Which one of you came up with the name? You really have no culture at all. Let's just call it Jiuluo Fish Pavilion from now on."
