Codex Pirates

Chapter 234 Death Threats

Laura Louise sat nervously on a chair in the office. In order to ease her mood, she decided to sort out the interview script.

In William's previous life, American journalist John Brady once said that an experienced reporter should prepare at least ten minutes for every minute of interview.

The same was true before Laura Louise's trip. If it was just a mechanical question and answer, it would not be possible to do a good character interview. Although Laura Louise wanted to meet William in person for the first time today, but She has already collected a lot of information and rumors about William.

William may not know anything about Laura Louise, but Laura Louise is already familiar with William. She has compiled a lot of information, all in order to effectively avoid embarrassment in the communication process between the two parties situation, or offend William.

Laura Louise's knowledge of William before was just hearsay. Although William was said to be amiable, she was not sure if this statement was spread by others. She had seen the nobles of the kingdom or powerful people before. As a matter of fact, many people think that those in positions of power must be broad-minded, but Louise knows that may not be the case.

The door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a young man strode in from the outside.

Louise got up quickly when she heard the voice, and before she could turn her head, the other party had already come to her behind the desk, took off the suit jacket, handed it to the following attendant, and hung it on the hanger.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting." William said with a slightly apologetic smile.

Louise sat down under William's signal. At this time, she finally had the opportunity to take a closer look at the actual ruler of the Navian Kingdom who was only known by name but not in person.

Under the slender eyebrows, there is a pair of sharp blue eyes. The bridge of the nose is straight, and the lips are a little thin. When they are slightly pursed, they give people a sense of determination. The blond hair is pulled back. He looks extremely young, but he has a powerful body The confidence and mature temperament brought by the grip.

"You don't need to apologize. I know you've been very busy recently. I'm very grateful for taking the time to accept an interview with our newspaper." Louise said modestly.

"It should be. Waiting for beautiful women is a man's privilege. I shouldn't make the decision and hand over the rights." William teased. Louise was nervous, so she took the initiative to liven up the atmosphere.

Louise pursed her lips and smiled: "Didn't people say that it is a woman's privilege to make people wait? How has it changed?"

"Waiting for a beautiful woman to dress yourself up, isn't it a privilege worth enjoying?" William said, looking intently at Louise.

Louise looked a little embarrassed and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"See if you have any makeup on. It seems to be a little painted on?" William frowned suspiciously, "You are born beautiful, so you can't tell it."

Louise was amused by William's earnest observation, and the tension in her heart disappeared. She had heard countless rumors and stories about William before. Some said he was brave and good at fighting, others said he was generous, and some It is said that he is clear about rewards and punishments, and some people say that he is gentle with others, but no one says that he is funny.

"Grooming may not be for one person, maybe it's just for your own image when you go out." Louise said casually.

"Waiting for others is already miserable enough, why can't you comfort yourself?" William smiled, "For the sake of your turn to be so miserable, please ask any questions."

In fact, what Louise wanted to ask the most was the matter of Pirate William and the truth of the rumors of collusion with the Navy, but she finally suppressed this impulse and only asked about the gradually sensual textiles in Kalmar City in recent years. Issues related to William's contribution and political achievements, such as his career, his perception of domestic stability, etc.

Before sorting out these materials, Louise was actually very surprised. She has seen many countries and cities, but she still did not expect to see such a rapid development and a peaceful and stable environment in a country ruled by pirates. .

This was one of the main reasons why Louise stayed in the East China Sea for so long. As the investigation progressed, the more she knew about William, the more curious she was about the secrets that shrouded him.

...

Cocoyasi Village welcomes a group of new guests.

Aramis' warship anchored in a hidden private port outside the village, and then led people to meet Zangao and enter the village.

Zango was one of the few agents who knew the identity of Aramis, so he was very respectful towards Aramis.

"My lord, why are you personally leading the team?" Zangao asked on the way.

Aramis smiled slightly: "The Consul is afraid that the Dragon Pirates will get wind of it, and he will attack two villages and towns. These two places will eventually be the territory of the Kingdom of Navia, and the residents will also become people under the rule of the Consul. , he doesn’t want too many casualties.”

William is not too worried about the Dragon Pirates receiving news from the outside world. This group of murlocs are relatively closed to the outside world, and the only contact is basically monopolized by William, except for continuing to suppress and blackmail villages and towns, and drawing charts. Besides, they have little interest in other things.

What William was worried about was that the people inside Cocoyasi Village and Housha Town were not strict enough to leak the news, causing the Dragon Pirates to take risks.

"How are the people in Kekeyasi Village and Housha Town?" Aramis asked.

Zangao thought for a while and said: "Fidgeting, they are very nervous, worried that we are not the opponents of the Dragon Pirates."

Aramis exaggeratedly raised his head, showing a funny look: "Isn't it an opponent? Just relying on those half-man, half-fish fools who are played by the consul?"

"If the consul didn't want to keep them and spread fear, how could they survive in the East China Sea?" Aramis sneered.

Zangao was silent for a while, and then he couldn't help asking: "Why on earth does the consul keep this group of murlocs, and also go out of his way to plan such a remote village as Cocoyasi Village?"

"Do you think the villagers of Kekeyasi Village are miserable under the rule of Aaron and his gang?" Aramis asked back.

Zang Gaomoran, the people in Coco Yaxi Village have to pay high life money every month, if they can't pay it, they will only die, and the most puzzling thing about the Dragon Pirates is that if they can't pay their lives The punishment for those who pay money is still the system of sitting, that is to say, if one person fails to pay the money, the whole village will be destroyed.

The behavior of the Dragon Pirates is not so much extortion and extortion of local residents, as it is that this group of racists is simply taking killing for fun, looking for excuses to destroy one village after another, and then occupy new places .

Everyone has the fear of death, but ordinary people will not be tortured by death threats all the time like the residents under Aaron's rule.
