The Righteous Player(s)

"Come on, children. Look up, look."

The stall owner wearing a pure white smiling face mask put his arms around the shoulders of the two children and made a deep voice like an abyss: "Come and see your father for the last time.

"This is the coward who brought you here... betting you on the gambling table and losing you to our father. It also broke the rules-the coward who left you here and escaped by himself."

Upon hearing this, the little girl cried louder.

And the boy's eyes were slightly red.

But he still stubbornly looked at the middle-aged fat man who had been dragged all the way and had fallen into a coma--or, in other words, the middle-aged fat man who might have been dead for an unknown period of time.

As if to imprint his figure in his own memory.

"Then, old rules. Children."

The stall owner made a low voice and said slowly: "I've seen enough, just give him a job."

As his words fell, a tall and fat man walked out behind him. The fat man was wearing a big shirt, but even so... the tightly buttoned shirt was tight, revealing his fat belly full of hairs.

His left hand is holding a string of ropes, while his right hand is holding a hook.

He spread his hands and stood in front of the stall owner without saying a word.

The little girl let out a cry like a bird, and quickly looked away.

Annan whispered to Isaac, "What is the rule here? Let the children kill their father by themselves?"

"Not so outrageous."

Isaac also lowered his voice: "It's ‘forgive or not’."

"What do you mean?"

"This man has fallen to the point where he wants to gamble on his children, which means that he is mostly dead. He is using his children to bet on a chance to comeback-to see if he can save himself with his children. ."

Isaac lowered his eyes slightly.

Perhaps because of the dim surroundings, his blue pupils revealed a wolf-like indifferent dark green: "Like that man...clearly he has no debts, nor has he broken any rules, just for the sake of It’s very rare to sell me for money—or, to put me on the gaming table just to throw me away.

"Because the'person' used as a bargaining chip must belong to him legally. In other words, only parents can bet on their children. Although no one cent of his money was spent on me at all, he still counts as mine. 'father'.

"As long as it's a human, it shouldn't do such a thing."

As he said, Isaac sneered: "As for paying for his own life... just because he is a hopeless idiot. After completing the original goal-throwing me away, he didn't have time to collect it. hand.

"In other words, the gaming table has such magical power. It can easily destroy a person's intelligence and rationality, causing him to scream and fall into **** in hopeless madness. Even the curse of the transcendent. It’s difficult to do this as easily as a gambling table."

"...Then, you said that man is dead?"

"These two children are obviously his own. And that fat guy looks like a businessman."

Isaac stretched out his hand to support Annan's shoulder and pointed at the two children with his chin: "If I guessed correctly, it should be the man who lost the goods.

"Here we are, as long as the fleet does not pay pirates, it is not allowed to pass through the controlled waters. Generally speaking, it is a gold coin for everyone on the ship. This is not a small sum.

"Then, naturally, some caravans will give the pirates a lot of favor at one go. In exchange for the right of passage for a long period of time. And this cost will be reduced a lot."

...Annan raised his brows.

Can this protection fee be paid monthly and yearly?

"Because the delivery of goods requires a large amount of money to the pirates. Then there will be some captains who want to avoid this situation-so they will simply cooperate with the pirates.

"They will deliver some things to the pirates in the controlled area when they are transporting goods. To compensate for the premium... Generally speaking, they are some ‘big jobs’ that cannot pass the subway security check."

...Big job?

Annan was a little curious: "For example?"

"For example, the'portable poison barrel' that will continue to emit poisonous mist when poured with water, the powerful gunpowder'blasting dust' used by the dwarves to explode mines, and the destruction wizards who are **** alive. These are all in mine Something more common in the times."

Isaac squinted his eyes. "Now... there are black fire, honey lips, some weird curses. And artillery."

"……artillery?"

"That's right. It is a weapon that can sink ships hundreds of meters away without injecting a curse. It only requires some gunpowder. It used to be only placed on the shore, but now it can be miniaturized and installed on the ship. .

"For the extraordinary, the bombardment at that speed does not make much sense, but it is a weapon for these pirates-because when they fight, their purpose is not to kill people, but to destroy ships."

Isaac explained.

The ability of pirates to control an area of ​​sea depends on the number of their ships. As for the pirates themselves, they can be used as a resource...As a loser, the good players among them join the camp of the winner, which is also a normal act of absorbing talents.

"If I'm not mistaken... I'm sure this guy was robbed by another group of pirates who got the news when he was smuggling contraband."

According to the maritime trade process of Denison and the entire Misty Continent-ships that cannot provide a "merchant ship certificate" and have not obtained an official "armed license", all have strict weight restrictions. Moreover, the cargo on the ship must be counted when offshore and when it is docked.

Every month, we will send messages to each other to confirm whether the messages are consistent.

This is so that when the key cargo is lost, the nobles of Denizoya can confirm the specific ring where it was lost. And take advantage of the trend to find the pirates in charge of the corresponding area, and retrieve these goods from them.

Therefore, ships that smuggle contraband goods must disguise the goods-generally speaking, prepare a large number of empty buckets on the ship when marking off shore~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then put the cargo on the surface Before transporting to the target location, first go to another receiving point, put down the "private cargo", and fill the empty bucket with ballast water. Then go to the destination port to unload the cargo.

——In other words, these pirates only need to get news. Then ran over to rob your private cargo, but did not move the main cargo on the surface. These ship owners have no temper at all, and they have to fill up the water obediently.

Because these private goods have not been registered on the surface. Then they are "goods that don't exist." As illegal goods, robbed by pirates are considered to be robbed in vain.

Even if another wave of pirates complained to the mayor, there was no way.

Because it is impossible to prove that another group of pirates robbed the goods, not the shipowner embezzled it.

"So, no matter what the truth is...In the end, the shipowner can only compensate for the loss."

If they can't change their debts, they can only pay for themselves-they will be executed as a deterrent.

It is also the final effect of their life.
