Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Alger continued to explain: "I heard that 'Admiral Hell' led a fleet to intercept the other party. There is news that there was only a less fierce battle between them, and there is also news that there was a fierce battle between them.

"But no matter what, no pirates have seen the Intis Republic's ship on that route since then."

Audrey frowned and asked, "Mr. Hanged Man, why are there so many contradictions in the information you received?"

"This is a normal phenomenon." Alger explained: "Generally, the information I get is so messy, and I need to use my own knowledge to make reasonable guesses and generalizations.

"Take this news for example. The reason why it seems so messy is because none of this news comes from the crew of the 'Hell Admiral'. Many people just heard about it or saw the scene from a distance.

"So this kind of information obtained from different channels needs to be sorted out by myself."

Alger paused and continued: "In my opinion, two of these pieces of information are useful, namely that 'Admiral Hell' led a fleet to intercept, and that no one has ever seen the Intis Republic ship again.

“Then it’s a matter of making reasonable guesses and filling in the middle.

"It is said that the 'Admiral of Hell' is a powerful Sequence 5. It is impossible for him to destroy Intis' ship silently, because there is also a Sequence 5 on that ship.

"After a series of speculations, I finally thought that the two sides should have negotiated. Intis's ship left some gold, and 'Admiral Hell' helped them escape from the sea, or helped them hide their tracks to avoid being caught by other pirate ships. harassment."

That's why Byron said, "The general has decided to pay you the price originally agreed upon." When Alger sold this information, he was selling information about the treasure on the entire Intis ship. Obviously Ludwell did not harvest the entire ship. The treasure on the ship, otherwise it would not highlight the "originally negotiated price".

Alger's analysis opened Audrey's eyes: "It's a very reasonable guess. I didn't expect that collecting intelligence is such a test of wisdom."

Then she expressed her doubts: "Another thing that I didn't expect is that pirates can still negotiate?"

"This is a completely normal thing." Alger said: "The higher the level of pirates, the more they rely on negotiation when solving problems.

"Just like the pirate conference held every year, for most pirates, it is a grand event for exchanging reports and conducting transactions, but for a small number of high-level pirates, it is to demarcate the scope of robbery or prepare to jointly A bargaining session against an enemy.”

Audrey tried her best to imagine what a pirate conference would look like, but for some reason, she suddenly thought of a ball held by a noble. Whether it was the purpose or the process, the two seemed very similar.

At this time, Hobert echoed: "I also think Mr. Hanged Man's guess basically restored the facts. After Sequence 5, it will be difficult to kill the opponent one-on-one without helpers."

"Obviously this is our common understanding." Alger added: "It is estimated that in a few days, 'Admiral Hell' will attend, or his first mate and second mate will attend the pirate conference. There will be definite news about this.”

Hobert smiled and said, "But that news is no longer important to us."

"That's right, we got all the money we should get." Alger agreed: "When the Tarot Club is over, I will pay you the 900 pounds of dividends by offering a sacrifice to the Fool.

"In addition, because I was trading this information last week, I couldn't help you ask about the sealed item with the 'travel' ability. I'm also going to attend the pirate conference, and I will help you ask the seller then."

"Okay, I'm looking forward to your good news." Hobert immediately roughly calculated his assets and found that they might not be enough.

Then Alger asked: "Have any of you helped me find any clues to the 'Wind Blessed One' potion?"

No one spoke.

Alger sighed. Now that he had enough money, the magic potion formula was temporarily difficult to buy.

After Alger's speech, Derrick said to "The World": "Mr. World, I will be able to get the real roots and sap of the Mist Tree Man in the next few days. Please prepare the weapons for me."

Everyone was stunned, and Hobert asked: "Didn't you just pass the first round of assessment? You can go out to hunt monsters so soon."

Derrick smiled shyly and said, "I went to the workshop to help, and while chatting with other people, someone happened to have the real roots and sap of the Misty Tree Man.

"I went to help for a few more days, and he promised to give me these materials first, and then I will continue to help in the next month."

The people in the workshop liked the sunshine he provided very much. It could be said that no one in the Silver City didn't like the sunshine, even the faint sunshine that Derrick prayed for through singing.

Derrick does not need to do physical labor in the workshop. He only needs to pray for sunshine after a while, and the efficiency of the workshop can be greatly improved.

The normal atmosphere in the workshop is very dull, and no one wants to talk unless there is a need for work. However, after the sunshine, laughter can often be heard in the workshop.

In fact, not only the workshop, but also the entire Silver City has such an atmosphere.

Derrick likes this job very much. His original intention of becoming the "Sun" is to hope that Silver City can get out of its misfortune and to find new hope for Silver City. Whenever he hears everyone talking and laughing, he seems to have already seen it. Arrived at the hope of Silver City.

"World" said: "I will try to help you find a suitable weapon this week."

Derrick nodded.

Hobert smiled and said: "Your job pays very well. You can exchange for a main material of sequence 7 level in more than a month?"

Derrick was stunned: "This is normal, because we have no use for those materials."

This time, it was everyone's turn to be stunned. There were only a few extraordinary paths in Silver City, and there were indeed many extraordinary materials that they could not use.

Especially the extraordinary materials at Sequence 7 and below, the main potion material at Sequence 6 and above can barely be used as a sealed object, but the materials at Sequence 7 and below have no very practical extraordinary effects and can only be thrown in the warehouse. Ashes.

Many materials worth six to seven hundred pounds in Backlund may only have a value of a dozen pounds or even a few pounds in their eyes.

Hobert said: "It's a pity that you can't use gold pounds. Otherwise, I will use all my savings to buy all the extraordinary materials from you. In that case, I will be a rich man."

Alger and others also had the same idea.

Hobert thought for a while and then asked: "What are the things that are commonly needed or frequently used in your place? I know that you need daily necessities, but they cannot be used for trading, because your identity will be exposed immediately.

"Is there anything else? Well, it's just something that can be used in the extraordinary world, something that won't reveal your identity."

Dioclet thought for a while and then said: "Weapons! We are relatively short of extraordinary weapons."

The weapons used in Silver City come from two sources, one is from the workshop, and the other is captured from fighting monsters.

The weapons in the workshop are just weapons and have no extraordinary effects. There is a small chance that the captured weapons will have extraordinary effects.

It was precisely because such weapons were rare that Derrick decided to look for weapons suitable for him from the Tarot Society.
