Black sails

Chapter 195 CXCIV. Department of Energy

With the support of Magic Energy Industry, the metal anti-counterfeiting technology in the Western Continent has reached a level that can be called abnormal.

It is obviously unrealistic to use pure gold as currency.

Even if other complicated reasons are not considered.

There is no seigniorage.

The National Bank lost its maximum income and all abilities including regulating the economy, preventing risks, etc.

Then it can't be called a national bank, it's just a private account.

Just like the various subordinate countries under Aram, they were all settled with golden dragons, their bones were knocked out and their marrow was sucked out. The rulers were all single-minded thieves supported by the emperor. The lords were in war and chaos.

The Kingdom of Pedan uses a special crystal as currency, while Lostra uses banknotes.

Golden dragons are not the most valuable currency. One of the red crystal coins of the Pedan Kingdom can be exchanged for two golden dragons and eighty silver meters.

But Golden Dragon's influence is undoubtedly the greatest and extremely stable.

The Western Continent and even the entire world are eager to pursue it, and it has almost evolved into a universal currency.

Because if you want to buy the mana crystal mine in Yalan's hands, if the object is the national government, you can directly settle it with the equivalent. In normal trade, other objects have to be exchanged for gold dragons.

It’s not that you will be ripped off only if you switch to Golden Dragon. The national government will also be ripped off. If you don’t import from me, the domestic gap will not be filled, and the problem will be big. Yalan is the largest exporter of magic minerals, and the volume Of course, Da Congyou will not ask for exorbitant prices. They are all Naiyako who are thousands of years old and don't do any craftsmanship.

To extract oil sustainably.

The reason why Golden Dragon is valuable, in summary, is not complicated.

Just because the Emperor has mines and can keep them.

One of the biggest contributors to the current Jin Long currency hegemony is the Ministry of Energy.

The Royal Court of Aram can always find various excuses to "help" them to protect them from being invaded by orc barbarians or to prevent the restoration of local cult forces.

It costs money to station troops locally, and it is normal to use some minerals as "labor fees."

But the premise of everything is to know where the mines are, which requires extremely professional prospectors and ruthless characters who can give power to the local rulers.

This is the Department of Energy.

Their only role is to protect the prospectors. After discovering the mineral source, they can negotiate terms with the local rulers. If they cannot reach an agreement, they will dress up as "orcs" or "cults" to teach you a lesson and wear masks. , anyone can be a Hojo Bandit.

After the superficial deed deal is concluded, everyone's face will be bright, and the army can be sent in to eliminate all local opposition forces and create jobs for local people who have no jobs to mine.

I have to thank them.

And Joshua is naturally not a prospector, he is a ruthless character who gives power to others.

Although now retired.

He has chopped more people than he has eaten.

There was a thunder and a thunderclap.

The heavy rain was pouring, and the shadows of the thin wind-eroded rock tower pillars under the lightning were stretched extremely long, and the strange and strange shadows covered the entire track in an instant.

The blood-red ghost overlapped with Li Site himself, and his limbs and face were blurred and torn under the distorted light and shadow, as if he had turned into a humanoid monster.

The cursed blade of the Junlin Sword was so sharp that it was cut in half even before the raindrops fell on the blade.

Before, the sword was in the left hand and was less flexible and less powerful. But now this problem has been solved.

Li Site is best at blunt weapons, but with the blessing of his own combat experience, his sword skills are not weak at all.

The two swords were crossed. About ten meters away from Joshua, Li Site stopped and, like a swallow returning to its nest, swooped down and slashed away with both arms.

The black and red wheels flew and slashed with cross arcs of light, killing them upon contact, tearing apart layers of rain curtains, and followed the wind to kill them.

"There is such a thing..."

Joshua had rarely seen such artifacts in his life. He once saw such artifacts in the home of a warlock friend, but he only used them for collection and had no use. However, this man could actually hold them with his own hands.

Seeing that the killing edge has already hit the door.

Apparition.

Fen is not alone.

The gap between the academic faction as the superiors and the action faction as the conquerors can be seen at a glance.

The evil flame pillar whip in his hand struck in front of Li Site in an arc.

Li Site thought it was done. The Junlin Sword could cut through anything. Anything that hit it would be cut in half. It was absolutely impossible to exchange injuries for injuries, so he thought he could kill Joshua instantly.

Joshua himself instantly moved from the front end of the Flame Pillar Whip to the tail end, which was equivalent to teleporting ten meters, and flashed through the path of the whip.

The Cross Slash was in vain.

And the attack was as fast as the green phantom, like machine gun fire, and the hail of bullets fell hard and hard.

Evil can shape.

The whip instantly condensed into a fel sword. Joshua still fought with one hand, carrying the suitcase in his left hand, but wielding the fel flame sword wildly with his right arm.

The dark ghost figure jumped from Li Site's left arm, completely parrying its attack.

It's obviously just evil energy, but the concentration is too high and it's close to being real, and the clanging sound is endless.

Joshua did not expect that the strength of the parry was incredible. His right hand was already warning that if he continued, his wrist bones would explode.

"Fuck you..."

The power of Li Site's right hand under the blood shadow was incredibly high. The sword was so powerful that it sliced ​​off Joshua's left arm and shoulder.

But under Joshua's weird movement, it was completely useless. Following the whipping of the evil flame pillar, he dodged five meters to the side.

Black Sail is not alone.

The righteous siege begins.

A mysterious method from the Far East Islands, Xia Di had already vertically climbed up the ten-meter-high wind-eroded rock tower pillar. Zahak's teaching sword turned into a bright red circle in the air, as if it was coming from the rain, like a meteor from the sky. Rush down.

The green evil energy turned into dozens of finger-thick spikes and pierced Xia Di intensively. Xia Di cut his palm and watered the sword blade. The sword wind exploded with raindrops around him, shattering all the evil energy spikes. He himself flew into the air. Turning, the unparalleled inertia struck at Joshua's head.

However, Joshua had seen many such roles around the rulers of small countries.

"We are somewhat similar."

Joshua didn't take it seriously. Xia Di learned qigong in the Far East. Mysterious energy circulated throughout his body, but Joshua himself had evil energy flowing through him.

A sonorous sound.

Joshua caught the sword with his hand and held it tightly, but only a small cut was made in his palm, and painless blood spilled out.

Xia Di was a little confused and wanted to get away immediately.

A side kick comes.

Xia Di reflexively used his left hand to block it, and his flesh and blood were instantly blurred. Three of his fingers were kicked off, and blood burst out. He was knocked back five or six meters and struggled to stand still. His whole hand was shaking, and the ulna of his forearm was also broken.

Swann silently attacked Joshua from behind, and saw that the two daggers were about to circle around the owl's head.

But Joshua's physical skills are terrifying.

Scorpion swung his legs and kicked back to shatter the steel. The dagger was immediately shattered. Swann was injured in the abdomen. The kick was too hard and he flew seven or eight meters away. He vomited a pool of blood from his mouth.

Meredith used arcane magic to change the weight of the lance, and the royal guard of honor was as graceful as a swordsman. With a poking stance, he stabbed a dozen swords in an instant and almost turned into a phantom.

As he surged forward with all his strength, the rain curtain in front of him rushed towards Joshua.

Joshua just threw the suitcase upwards, and the fists of his hands and the boots of his feet were all shaped into armor by evil energy.

An extremely gorgeous combo of punches, jabs, swinging punches, high kicks, and roundhouse kicks, all connected smoothly, and he delivered more than ten blows in an instant.

boom! boom! boom!

Each blow shattered a section of the lance, exploding into broken iron filings. With the last kick, the entire lance was shattered.

A punch hit Meredith's head, and she blocked it with her hand, but just like Xia Di's situation, her wrist bone exploded, and another punch came, and she couldn't block it at all this time.

Gawain immediately came over to help Meredith resist the terrifying killing move. Two large curved swords spun into seven or eight circles of distorted arcs of light to attack Meredith.

Joshua had noticed it a long time ago. He leaned over and swept his legs wide open and closed, creating terrifying ravines on the gravel ground.

Click!

The force of the wind caused Gawain's calf bones to break, causing him to kneel on the ground immediately.

Several wind blades of Lu's elemental magic blew past. It was unbelievable... That was an action that humans could complete. It was like a cheetah charging, but in reverse. He leaned over and kicked his legs to retreat a few meters away. He grabbed his hand back and stabilized it. Catch the suitcase that was thrown out just now.

Everything happens in a matter of seconds.

However, four people have been injured and their movements have been restricted.

"It's not enough. I forgot to tell you that seven years ago, I killed a... third runner-up in the Mainland China Martial Arts Competition in September of that year."

The evil energy in Joshua's limbs was retracted into his hands and reshaped into pillars of flame, and that was the end of it.

Li Site's eyelids twitched. Damn it, it's bad luck for the second time. Xia Di and Swann are both masters, and the two people they kidnapped are also heroic adventurers.

all of a sudden……

All wounded.
