Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 295: Go to Pirate City

Su Lun did not try to contact "Butcher" Banner in a hurry.

Now that this guy has come to the surface and joined the fleet of the King of the North Sea, there will be many opportunities to come into contact with him later. He needs a suitable opportunity so that no one will doubt him.

Two people died at the next table, which did not cause much commotion. But it also gave those drinkers a certain understanding of the ruthlessness of the newly promoted captain of the Fourth Fleet.

Su Lun was drinking quietly at the bar, occasionally chatting with the bartender.

I drank a lot and listened to a lot of news.

What the drinkers talked about the most was naturally the previous incident of prison robbery at sea.

How the Fourth Fleet beat up the **** fleet of the Luying Royal Navy, rescued the captain of the Ninth Fleet "Admiral Gluttony" Ixir Paion, and released some famous "big shots".

In the pirate circle, the pirates beating up the Lu Ying navy is naturally the most exciting topic...

After hearing this, Su Lun had some general ideas and returned to the hotel

The next day, all kinds of news about the fleet coming from the King of the North Sea spread all over Blizzard City.

Su Lun went directly to the intelligence dealer and bought a volume of the most detailed intelligence.

Then, I heard the news that the Ninth Fleet was reorganizing its fleet.

For a time, the pirates in the entire Blizzard City became lively.

Under normal circumstances, large-scale pirate groups rarely replenish their personnel on a large scale unless they encounter a major attrition.

After all, the profit from robbery is limited. If there are many people, the porridge will not be enough.

Joining the North Sea Fleet is also the ultimate dream of many individual pirates.

To be able to get on the ship is probably equivalent to becoming an "iron rice bowl" among pirates. There is fame, a fixed salary, the best access to resources, and room for advancement.

But joining the big pirate group actually has pros and cons.

The advantage is that with this level of status, there is basically no one to mess with in the pirate circle.

With the protection of the top powerhouse Oleg, the "King of the North Sea", there is no need to be afraid of enemies, and there is no need to worry about wanted orders. Ordinary bounty hunters would not dare to mess with such a top pirate group. And even if there is no robbery, there is still a fixed salary. Not entirely dependent on the weather.

But the disadvantage is that the tree attracts the wind and is easy to be targeted.

The Luying Royal Navy is very keen on hunting down large pirate groups because it is a military achievement. The higher the bounty, the higher the merits of the pirate.

So large pirate groups must be very careful during their itineraries.

Once your whereabouts are exposed, you will most likely be surrounded.

Just like how Archduke Raphael destroyed the Ninth Fleet before, that kind of top naval fleet gets exact information to encircle and suppress it. Once a war starts, the chance of being severely damaged is extremely high.

Then there are bounty hunters.

Ordinary bounty hunters really don’t dare to provoke, but once they dare to provoke, they are no longer ordinary people.

It's like one of the "Top Ten Bounty Hunters", one kill is a big piece.

Low-level pirates are easily harvested in droves.

The risk of cannon fodder is great.

However, most of the famous pirates are wanted criminals and extremely vicious people, so this risk doesn’t matter.

Su Lun had breakfast, read the intelligence, and left the city unhurriedly.

When we arrived at the Blizzard City Pier, there was already a sea of ​​people here.

Oleg's Ninth Fleet now only has a few polished commanders left, and they have to build new ships and recruit crews. Those guys set up a recruitment scene at the dock. It was a bit like a job fair, bustling with people.

The opportunity was rare. Some small pirate groups even joined the crew, and they quickly raised twenty or thirty ships.

On the pier, the black skull and crossbones flag of the North Sea Fleet floated mightily.

After all, it is the ceiling of the pirate field. Although the Ninth Fleet is short of people, it cannot recruit everyone. If you want to join, you must have a certain skill.

For example, your name may be on the sailor, anchorman, navigator, artilleryman or bounty order.

Su Lun was dressed in a pirate costume and lined up in a long queue, ready to try to register and join.

Looking at Lazy, his eyes kept looking around.

The most eye-catching thing in the distance is the big fat man who looks like a mountain of meat.

Even if the wind and snow are falling on the dock, this guy is still exposing his belly with layers of white meat. Narrowing his eyes, his hair was braided into long braids and wrapped around his neck several times. He was sitting there with a big iron pot simmering soup next to him. Even during the recruitment period, he was not idle. The big, greasy hands took out some big pieces of meat from the pot without caring about the boiling soup, and kept stuffing them into his mouth.

Despite the humble appearance of this fat pig, he is the captain of the Ninth Fleet, "Admiral Gluttony" Ixir Payon. A seventh-level professional, the top pirate with a bounty of 2.177 billion.

Su Lun only glanced at it and then narrowed his eyes.

If you were really targeted by such a strong person, you might not even have a chance to escape.

However, what made Su Lun look slightly sideways was that there was actually a middle-aged man in a black suit standing next to Roshan.

The middle-aged man wears a dome hat, has high cheekbones, a beard, and a look of determination in his eyes.

He was holding an ordinary cane, his trousers were straight, his leather shoes were shiny, and he was dressed meticulously from top to bottom.

The specification of the suit is like the style of Lu Ying's upper class, like a dainty old gentleman. But if you take a closer look, you can see that the clothes are washed white and the shirt is slightly yellowed. It seems that he must be in a tight situation.

But even so, just by standing there, the man could tell at a glance that he had an aura that stood out from the crowd, which was incompatible with the slovenly pirates around him.

"Is it the one?"

As soon as Su Lun saw this guy, he immediately thought of the information he had obtained before.

When the fleet of the King of the North Sea robbed the prison, they released many prisoners who were severely punished.

Among them was a big shot serving a life sentence.

Su Lun noticed the middle-aged man in a suit, and the pirates lining up around him naturally saw it too.

Everyone was also curious about the identity of the middle-aged man, so someone asked.

"Hey, look, who is that guy in the hat?"

"He looks like a noble man, not a pirate like us. Is he so good at being around Master Peion? It seems that the master still gives him face."

"That is Zolas D. Andres, a real big shot from the Luying Imperial Capital!"

"Is it famous? Why haven't you heard of it?"

"You don't know, maybe few people have heard of this name. But everyone should have heard of his students. Especially the one named 'Thomas Hobbes'"

"Is it the former Prime Minister Lu Ying, the leader of the Wrigley Revolution?"

"That's the one. That's why I said this is the top big shot we will never see in our lifetime."

""

Su Lun listened to the whispers of others and showed a shocked expression on his face.

But in fact, he already knew the origin of Zoras before.

Although this guy is only a professor at Luying Royal Academy, he is one of Luying's most famous political scientists, economists, and revolutionary theorists.

If it hadn't been for the restoration of the Queen, his disciples would have almost overthrown Lu Ying's monarchy and turned it into a "constitutional monarchy".

Su Lun had also gone out of his way to learn about the history of the "Brumaire Coup", which was a turning point that truly promoted social progress.

But unfortunately, I didn’t turn around.

After the Queen's restoration, most of Zolas's disciples were sent to the gallows and prison. Because he himself did not directly participate in the coup, and many important people interceded, he was not killed. But he was also sentenced to hundreds of years in prison and exiled to an isolated island overseas.

I didn’t expect it, but now it fell into the hands of pirates.

Seeing the way that guy looked at the pirates with cold eyes, Su Lun guessed what the King of the North Sea was thinking.

Lu Ying's criminals are the pirates' best source of personnel supplies.

Most likely, they want to retain this kind of political talent.

Although Su Lun felt that this matter seemed to be a slight coincidence, he was not very interested in the King of the North Sea's plan. He followed the queue and walked over

There were only a few simple wooden tables at the recruitment site, with a few pirates staring coldly at them, and someone holding parchment to record something.

The "Gluttonous General" Ixir Paion was not far away, and there were several fifth-level squad captains, who swept the entire place with coercion. It was difficult for ordinary people not to reveal their flaws.

Su Lun could perfectly control his emotions, and like everyone else, he walked over with a slightly uneasy look on his face.

"Name, place of origin, what are your specialties."

"Johnny, from Zephyr City in Fang'anlogos County in the south. I am a very powerful musketeer. Oh, I also learned artillery shooting before. I was wanted because I offended the noble young master"

"Do you understand the launch of T5 series anti-ship artillery?"

"This is what I learned before."

"Well, from today on, you are a member of our Ninth Fleet!"

The recruitment of pirates is the same as when Zi Lingdun joined the gang. There is no fancy process.

Wanted criminals who have skills can be recruited directly.

What's more, Su Lun was already prepared.

He had previously studied the personnel structure of the pirate group in detail.

Musketeers are bad, but good artillerymen are rare. There is no need to show up on the deck all the time, and there are few things to do, but he is still a necessary role on the ship. This is the ideal identity.

Sure enough, under the scrutiny of the pirate in the red turban, Su Lun slightly operated the cannon, showed off his marksmanship, and boarded the ship smoothly.

Out of the corner of his eye, he also caught a glimpse of the registrar's writing movements on the parchment not far away, which were some of the origins of the "Johnny" he mentioned before.

Probably I will contact the informant to confirm again

Su Lun and the pirates who were lucky enough to be recruited boarded a medium-sized sailing ship called the "Bald Eagle".

Three days later, the fleet sailed away from Blizzard City and headed to the Pirate City in the north.

Su Lun also knew that his disguised identity probably passed the verification smoothly.

In just these few days, the Ninth Fleet has recruited thousands of pirates and sailed the sea in a mighty manner.

The life of a pirate is very monotonous, with nothing to do all day long.

As long as you're not robbing, you can do whatever you like.

Play cards, brag, and then sleep.

As a gunner, you don’t have to participate in the work on the deck, so you have nothing to do all day long. Su Lun didn't show anything special. He played cards with a group of pirates in the cabin every day, winning and losing, and he became familiar with a few pirates.

Of course he also noticed that there were actually a few "eyes" on each ship, who were always observing and testing the origins of these newcomers.

Su Lun's fabricated origins were almost seamless, and no one found any flaws.

The previous pirate carnival had brought most commercial activities in the North Sea to a standstill, and there were no merchant ships to rob.

The fleet then went straight to the Pirate City.

The sea voyage was uneventful.

The only unexpected thing was that they encountered a giant deep-sea monster.

It was a [Deep Sea Purple Moray Eel] that was more than a hundred meters long. This behemoth could easily sink a sea ship.

In the eyes of fishermen and pirates who have been working at sea all year round, this is one of the "natural disasters".

If a small pirate group encounters them, they will most likely be destroyed.

But in this ninth fleet, there is a seventh-level fleet captain "Admiral Gluttony" Ixir Payon.

Su Lun watched as the guy swallowed the more than 100-meter-long moray eel alive in one bite!

[B-010-Big Stomach King]’s second stage awakening can devour the target and obtain a large increase in attributes. The seventh-level gold alchemy breeding equipment, [Whale Swallowing Mouth], has terrifying inhuman strength.

When Su Lun saw the strength of this top pirate, he hid it even deeper

The Pirate City of Hasterling is also known as the "Golden City that Never Sleeps" in the pirate circle.

That is the largest gathering point for pirates in the North Sea, and it is also a paradise for pirates, a real gold-selling cave.

It is said that in Pirate City, as long as you have money, you can enjoy treatment like an emperor.

It is the largest black market in Beihai, with the most complete range of alchemy materials and the most beautiful prices. Various custom venues, gambling stalls, gladiatorial arenas, large quantities of psychedelic drugs, arms smuggling, and hiring murderers are all legal and illegal, as long as they can satisfy people's desires, they are all here!

Further north from the Pirate City are the four countries of Beizhou: Shanyin, Hanshuang, Luoman, and Chenmu.

Su Lun asked Mr. Jing through the communicator.

The four countries of Beizhou existed a thousand years ago. At that time, they were not called by this name. They were called "the land of divine heritage".

This plane is an alchemical plane. Although there are no longer gods, the belief in gods has never been cut off since ancient times.

In the Atria Empire era, for thousands of years, alchemists were the mainstream. Therefore, those believers of God were exiled and excluded to remote overseas areas.

The current area of ​​Hokkaido Shikoku is where believers of various gods have gathered for countless years. As for the gods of this world, from the mythical period to the present, the famous gods are like countless journeys in the sky.

So, this is how the legend of "One Hundred and Eight Thousand Gods" came about.

Not all believers of gods are like the Daru tribe and can still get responses from gods. Those believers of God who were exiled overseas almost all lost the God they believed in. However, due to various reasons, many strange divine power inheritances, evil legends, dark powers, evil weapons, and external mysterious methods have been left behind

The four countries of Beizhou are like a bottomless pool of water, dangerous, mysterious and full of unknowns.

Even after Sir Isaac’s trip, he commented that “this is a place with very complicated beliefs”

On this day, there was a sudden loud shouting on the deck.

"Brothers, we are going to Hastelling!"

"Secure the cannon in the cabin! Hurry up, we are about to enter the whirlpool!"

""

Hearing this, Su Lun and several gunners who were playing cards in the cabin checked the chains of the artillery, and then followed them to the deck to watch the excitement.

At this glance, they saw a dense reef area and a large whirlpool not far away.

This is the "Devil's Sea" marked on the chart as one of the most famous coordinates in the North Sea.

This is also the natural barrier of Pirate City.

After the reef area, there is the Pirate City.

The complex ocean currents and special wind directions in this whirlpool sea area can only be entered by experienced navigators who control the sailing wooden boats and follow the whirlpool.

Although wooden ships are light and fast, they are at a great disadvantage in large-scale wars. They have almost no advantages in positional warfare and offensive and defensive warfare. So now, the Luying Royal Navy and conditional territories have been replaced by steam ironclad ships.

However, armored ships cannot enter or leave this rocky sea area.

The Royal Navy of Luying was unable to pay off its debts, which is also the most important reason why pirate ships have been so fast in the past few decades.

With the wind and rain beating on his face, Su Lun looked at the rocky sea in front of him on the deck, his eyes gradually deepening.

Like riding a roller coaster, the center of gravity began to spin.

The newcomers seemed very excited, and pirates who had been to Pirate City were also sharing their experiences.

"Let me tell you, Hastelling has the best **** scene there, and you can find any girl you want! After we get off the boat, we can have a lot of fun!"

"Hey, those of you who have never been here may not know that the geishas of Hastlin are the best in the world, and you can't see them anywhere else. The legendary "the most beautiful geisha in the world" is in the country of the hidden mountains. ”

"I've heard about it too. But this legend has been around for more than ten years, and she's still the 'most beautiful woman'. Isn't she already old?"

"Hey, I'm surprised too. But there were people who saw her this year and said she was a human character with boundless beauty. Her figure, face, and dance can enchant people. I heard it's those The reasons for strange ghosts and gods, although they are evil, they are so **** beautiful. If I were allowed to do this once, I would lose thirty years of my life."

""

Going ashore to resupply is the most anticipated thing for the crew.

With only half a day of sailing left, these people are already looking forward to the wine pool and meat forest arrangements after disembarking.

Su Lun listened to the stories from other people's mouths, his eyes far away, and he murmured in his heart: "It's finally here."
