Black sails

Chapter 1 Ⅰ. Pirates

Early winter.

In the wine house on the outskirts of the city, the pilasters and beams are all made of elm wood, which has turned slightly black and yellow over time.

In the humid environment affected by the east coast monsoon, brittle sparks burst out from the burning fire in the slightly moist fire.

The rich smell of the sea emanates from the leather leggings, the polished iron gleams with a sharp sheen, the rough body is densely covered with bullet holes and hideous scars, and the desperado's surly eyes reflect the flames.

The waiter's fingers trembled, the woman covered her face and cried, and the owner of the tavern looked ashen.

All the customers had already fled to avoid the vicious bandits.

The infamous organization on the east coast of the Principality of Bema, the Black Sail Pirates, is working here.

Captain Li Site implemented three principles in his work, which allowed him to survive to his tenth year in this strange and turbulent world without external modifiers and language barriers.

The first is that if a person is not ruthless, he cannot stand firm.

When you go out to do things, pay attention to a packaging. It doesn't matter whether you are a ruthless character or not. You must make the other party feel that you are a ruthless character.

His weapon was a blood-stained flail, with an iron shell embedded in one end of the wooden handle and a chain attached to two iron balls half as big as his head and covered with spikes. The reason why he used two of them was because Li Site thought it was a noble range of damage. It was a secondary weapon, used to deal with some minions.

The main weapon is a long-handled war hammer over one meter long, standing on one side. The chisel on the back of the big hammer is so sharp that it can mine like a pickaxe, but most of the time it is used to collect other things. Li Site calls it "The cuckoo of frost cries blood" is more sad than sadness, it hurts too much.

He thinks that his outfit is also very fashionable and bluffing. His beard is so long that it is styled into fashionable braids, his short hair is as sharp as steel needles, and a scar as thick as a finger crosses the bridge of his nose and almost penetrates both ears. He was once almost shot in the head with an axe. . Wearing a light leather breastplate, cotton and linen trousers, and a pair of large black leather boots.

"Your loan plus interest, as well as my own labor fee, total seventeen gold dragons."

Li Site is tall, about two meters tall, with a hoarse voice, and his skin is roughened by the wind and sun from living in the sea for many years. He has acted to the point where he believes that he is a desperado who kills without blinking an eye.

In the Coinage Act passed in 1277 of St. Alan's calendar, anyone could send gold or silver bars to the mint to be minted into coins without any charge, and they could also immediately exchange them for coins of equivalent value.

In the Battle of the Giant Wall, the Bema Kingdom lost to the Aram Empire that ruled the western continent. Although it was converted into a principality due to enfeoffment, its autonomy was quite limited. It had been integrated into the empire's currency settlement system and gave up the huge benefits of seigniorage. Long-term containment.

One Aramaic gold dragon is equal to approximately two hundred silver meters, and one silver coin is approximately equal to fifty copper noahs.

Only the golden dragon with the largest denomination is relatively rare, and people use formal names. The rest are also called Aramaic silver coins and Aramaic copper coins.

"Seventeen Golden Dragons..."

The owner of the tavern is stuck in his throat. This is not a small sum of money. It can already buy a decent residence with a living room in a coastal town.

"I settled the bill quickly. I don't care. It's just that the two gentlemen here don't want to go in vain."

Li Site put the flail on the table and banged it loudly. He crossed his legs and rocked the chair without fear of tipping over.

The second principle is that if you don't know how to lead a team, you can only work until death. It's easier to do things when there are more people. Are you good at fighting? When you go out to do things, you must pay attention to your power. It doesn't matter whether your companion is a ruthless character, but it must look like a ruthless character.

In order to settle today's matter, Li Site brought two relatively unkind-looking people from his eleven-member gang to calm down the situation.

Helmsman, Shark Oaks.

He is 2.8 meters tall, wearing brown leather pants and boots with a bare upper body. He has hunched muscles and belongs to the shark family. His light blue firm skin is covered with scars. The fins on his back have long been torn off due to unknown reasons. There are huge wounds. Extremely ferocious. The sharp fins at the elbow joints were covered with scratches but were still usable. His terrifying height stood there like an iron tower, and he stood on the floor with a huge sword like a door panel in his hands.

Li Site's evaluation of him is that in society, I am a brother who is ruthless and doesn't talk much.

The length of the rigging, Wren the werewolf.

He is two meters tall, with a dark red leather coat held up by shoulders as wide as a double-door refrigerator. He has the head of a wolf and the body of a wolf. The silver-gray hair on his head has not been washed for a long time and is greasy and knotted. The fangs are exposed and he is extremely ferocious. His only weapon is a pair of armor to protect his hands. He is good at fighting skills and close combat, that is, tearing people apart and disemboweling them with his claws.

Li Site's evaluation of him is... a psychopath. Last time when he was fighting in the autumn wind in a seaport town, Renn used pliers to crush three of Sir Alex's teeth, and forced lemon and chili into his mouth, letting the rich teeth The nerves are astonishing.

At this moment, Renn was getting nervous again.

"This knife of mine is coated with poison refined by an alchemist."

Ren opened his mouth wide and took out a sharp dagger. His long tongue was densely covered with barbs like a bone scraper, secreting sticky saliva and dripping on the floor, and he was about to lick it up.

"this……"

The tavern owner didn't know what to say.

"Hey, I haven't licked it yet, I haven't licked it yet, haha."

Ren feinted a shot and let out a horrifying sneer, scratching the table with his claws, and the sharp and harsh sound tortured his ears.

Li Site held his chin. He was really a little sick. The atmosphere I had worked so hard to create was gone.

He had no choice but to pin his hopes on Oakes, who was ruthless and talkative.

Because of Oakes' personal experience, a fish with broken fins can no longer survive in the sea. Most sharks cannot stand on land for a long time, which is equivalent to a death sentence. He is an exception. With his exaggeratedly powerful physical fitness, for him He said he just had some altitude sickness and needed to drink more water.

At this time, he unscrewed the water valve of the ale barrel and drank one glass after another as if no one was watching. He drank more than twenty glasses in less than a few minutes, acting like a bandit.

Li Site narrowed his eyes, did he drink like crazy just because it was free of charge? You seem to be greedy and weak, you bastard.

The atmosphere is completely clean, highlighting the situation where the other party is at the end of their rope. It brings out your usual ruthlessness in killing people and stealing goods. You need to be more flexible, and you always lose the chain at the critical moment.

Li Site took a deep breath.

"Okay, either you have to settle the payment today or..."

Li Site thought that he had to rely on himself. He stood up with a cold look in his eyes, walked to Oaks, and calmly turned off the valve knob.

Oakes: "..."

Then Li Site became violent and smashed a high-height wine barrel with a chain hammer. The wooden board was cracked. With great strength, he lifted the knotted rope on the wine barrel and splashed it all over the floor.

Oaks and Renn would also feel sorry for themselves. Their strength was terrifying. Oaks smashed the hardwood-sealed wine barrel with one punch, and Renn also punctured it with his claws. The two tall monsters were able to get all the fuel. Everywhere.

The eleven members of the Black Sail Pirates are all wanted exiles with a bounty on their head. Li Site calls them his dream team and compares the pirate business to a mobile game drawing cards. Although his lineup is not a golden one every second. A large team, but all of them are evil, and ordinary people would be too frightened to move if they looked at them.

Ren also showered the owner of the tavern.

"Or I'll burn this whole place down."

Li Site broke a kerosene lantern and continued to add that if he didn't deal with a word, the place would be burned to the ground.

The owner of the tavern had knelt down and begged for mercy incoherently. His words were slurred and he couldn't express what he meant. His wife was crying harder.

Ren saw the leftovers left by the customers on the table. The portions were so generous. He couldn't make any money with a kind heart, and he probably wouldn't be able to get this huge sum of money today.

"I'm sorry he doesn't have any money on him, so just burn it, Genshin Impact, activate!"

Under the influence of Li Site for many years, Renn learned an extremely weird oral habit. Even he himself didn't understand what it meant. He just found it interesting and wanted to burn it to ashes for everyone to enjoy.

Oakes was indifferent, indifferent to life and death, and took a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, bit open the cork, and poured it down.

Li Site is able to survive today because he has a ship and a team and fully implements three principles.

The third principle is.

Whoever has money will get it. Bullying ordinary people seems to be a retard. All of his subordinates are capable, and they are all desperadoes who lick blood from their swords.

The dark elf Xia Di, the shipwright of the pirate group, always had a way to sneak into the underground bank in Linden City on the east coast of the Principality of Bema. He lurked for more than half a month, found the account books and identified some creditors.

If you want to play, play big.

Li Site stared at the tavern owner begging for mercy and said: "Seventeen golden dragons are indeed not a small sum. I have a compromise. You borrowed eight, with a monthly interest of 30%. It has doubled today, but I If you are a righteous person, you can always get five of them."

Everything went smoothly.

The three of them used the account books obtained by the dark elf Xia Di to find debtors and collect debts. They only collected half of the borrowed money, which was regarded as labor fees to help these usurious creditors settle matters.

Now I have collected more than 70 golden dragons, and the entire Linden City area is almost finished.

As for the shipwright Xia Di, there are still four ruthless men. If nothing goes wrong, they should go on a killing spree in the underground bank's lair and plunder their treasury.

Li Site would like to call Xia Di the King of Ideas on the East Coast.
