Hunter × Hunter: The Seven Deadly Sins

July 8, 1502, the ancient island [Ai Ka Aikush].

Moo~

Ji~

Three three-masted sailboats sailed slowly to the island's bay. Both sides were lined with towering trees and giant ferns that were hundreds of meters high. Some of the plants even caught passing flying insects.

During the voyage, the sounds of birds and animals came from the depths of the forest from time to time, making the sailors and soldiers on the ship look frightened. This is the ancient island. I don’t know when a monster will suddenly rush out and swallow him in one bite.

"You just stay here while Pride and I investigate further."

Yin Lumi ordered.

Immediately, Yin Lumi and Pride condensed two giant black eagles, jumped on their backs, and the black giant eagles suddenly flapped their wings and flew to the depths of the island amidst the gazes and exclamations of many soldiers and sailors. .

"They actually have the same ability. What exactly is this..."

Hailin saw Plaide's ability for the first time, and it was exactly the same as Yin Lumi's ability.

"Tsk, you called me here, but you didn't let me in, so I'm here for a trip?"

Gleed looked unhappy.

"Hoho hoho, the Ancient Island is full of dangers. It is inevitable that Lao Chan alone will not be able to protect the three ships. Lord Glid can stay, which makes Lao Chan breathe a sigh of relief."

Hailin put aside his doubts and smiled.

"whispering sound."

Glied glanced at Hailin. This gray-haired old man made him very unhappy. He has a kind smile at all times, is able to face anyone and anything with ease, and has a deep mind. He dislikes working with this kind of person the most, because when doing things with this kind of person, he always feels like his every move is being calculated by the other person, and he feels uncomfortable all over.

At this time, over the forest of the Ancient Island, Yin Lumi and Plaide soldiers were divided into two groups, one was responsible for investigating the west and the other was responsible for investigating the east.

goo~!

A group of green-feathered birds looking for food in the air discovered Yin Lumi, and suddenly they attacked in droves like crazy demons.

Rest, rest, rest…

Under Yin Lumi's control, the giant black eagle slightly rose in height, and at the same time, dozens of black threads shot out and penetrated the heads of the birds.

goo～goo～

Two birds following the team at the end realized something was wrong and wanted to flap their wings to escape, but they were still penetrated by the black threads that were shot quickly through their heads. Dozens of cyan birds fell to the ground surrounded by countless towering trees and giant trees. In the primeval forest composed of ferns, there was another commotion. It must be that the carcasses of the birds were discovered by some carnivorous animals and they were fighting over them.

"Although it is a big island, there is not even a mountain in sight. It is a completely flat island."

From this point of view, this island has never experienced geological changes, and the island's ecology is still the ecology of prehistoric civilization. However, if this continues, tens of millions of years later, this ancient island will become a desert island.

winter…winter…

Suddenly, there was a sound of heavy footsteps in the forest ahead, and several huge round heads were seen poking out from the forest. They opened their mouths and bit the branches of a towering tree. They bit the branches with their teeth and pulled hard, directly tearing off the branches. The leaves were licked clean, his lips wriggled for a moment, and he swallowed them whole.

"The Thunder Dragon...this is a rare creature."

Yin Lumi looked at the huge creature below and couldn't help but sigh. The creatures on this ancient island seem to have been enlarged several times or even dozens of times, and these brontosaurus are hundreds of meters long.

mou～

A brontosaurus noticed the giant black eagle in the sky, glanced at it, and continued to brush the leaves with its head down without caring.

Yin Lumi controlled the black giant eagle to fly quietly over their heads so as not to disturb their feeding.

Halfway around the island, Yin Lumi and Plaid reunited.

"Although the location is very lonely, the Ancient Island is still too dangerous after all. It would be a pity to clean it up."

Yin Lu mysteriously said that islands like the Ancient Island, both themselves and the plants and animals that exist inside, are very precious treasures.

"Then create a safe zone around the port. If necessary, there is no need to go deep into the island."

Plaide suggested, and Yin Lumi nodded slightly in agreement.

"Let's go back."

Yin Lu said enigmatically. The black giant eagle under their feet flapped its wings and flew towards the bay.

Back on the ship, they informed Glid and Hailin of their decision, and everyone decided to go back home and arrange for people to build the real headquarters.

This headquarters is much larger than the temporary headquarters in Impiantra, and there are a lot of equipment and equipment to be installed. Especially here is an ancient island with a lot of precious resources and materials that cannot be wasted.

In addition, the technology tree of the Pirate World is a bit skewed, and the productivity is appalling. The construction speed of the headquarters is naturally not very fast. Fortunately, we can use local materials instead of transporting building materials from distant Impeontora. But even so, I'm afraid it's too It will take years to repair.

"The productivity of this world is equivalent to that of modern times. Without the assistance of any construction equipment, it depends entirely on manpower. According to my calculations, it will take at least four years and six months to complete, and it will be done day and night without any force majeure weather conditions. The construction can be completed within this time.”

"But we can hire employees and rent engineering equipment and operating tools from Balkimoa. At Balkimoa's speed, it can be built within half a year."

On the way back, Plaide suggested to Yin Lumi.

"good."

Yin Lumi agreed that Balkimoa's productivity and technological development were the normal path he was familiar with. Weapons were very important, but civilian development had not been left behind.

A month later, Yin Lumi and his party returned to Impiantra. I went to see the temporary headquarters for the first time. It will be built in a month.

"too slow."

Yin Lumi stood on the beach of the bay, watching the workers cutting wood with iron saws, felling trees with axes, and even transporting building materials from the city by manpower. He couldn't help but frown.

On the other side, Pride was contacting Envi who was stationed at the Balkimoa Naval Base, asking him to ask the Balkimoa government for money, hire employees, and rent construction machinery. Although Envi still has Axel's identity on the surface, due to reasons that have been exposed, the shipping company under Axel's identity has now been taken over by the Balkimoa government. So now their funding sources are only Balkimoa and a Hailin family.

"You have to make money. However, the transportation in this world is too poor, and the transportation cost of any business is very high. It seems that apart from collecting taxes like a country, only trade and robbery are the most profitable."

"Blackwater International wants to fight against the world government, so there is no need to consider trade. It can only rely on military employment and robbery to make money."

In the Hailin family's manor castle, Yin Lumi was sitting on the sofa. There was a tea set on the coffee table in front of him. The tea cup was filled with hot white steam and the fragrance of tea was overflowing.

"Hoo ho ho, Your Excellency Yin Lumi wants to accept military employment? I happen to know that there are two countries that need such help."

On the sofa opposite Yin Lumi, Hailin held a tea cup and smiled.

"The military conflict between the two countries Vitate Liluo and Yin Xiujiaer is getting more and more intense. Both sides are constantly seeking to purchase weapons and ammunition. Do you need me to be a middleman?"

Hailin stood up and returned to his desk. He took out a nautical chart and information about two countries from the desk drawer, plus a stack of photos, and handed them to Yin Lumi.

"Oh, the information has been collected so completely. If Balkimoa doesn't come to attack Impeandora, then you will attack these two countries, right?"

Yin Lumi looked at the information in his hand and the photos of the battlefield and smiled.
