The Night Adorer Chapter 214: Unconvinced newcomer
The latest website: Hearing Sylvie's instructions, everyone present was astonished and turned their heads to look at Sulman one by one.
They never imagined that the girl captain of the Black Cross group cut out one third of the gold bar in the box and handed it to Magellan in front of everyone. You know, this is not a small sum. !
This is the "life money" handed over to them by Adolf Shipbuilding after joining the Black Cross. It is conceivable that the number of gold bars in this box will never be low. No one wants to joke about their lives. .
What's more, the people present are not blind. From the thickness of the box and the density of the gold bars, they can guess the amount of wealth in the box. This is the professionalism of the pirates... ...Because of this, their expressions are exaggerated.
This box has at least nearly 200,000 gold pounds. After conversion, Sulman can get more than 60,000 gold pounds!
Sixty thousand gold pounds is enough to be called an astronomical figure.
Even for the third-tier powerhouses, this wealth can also allow them to bet their lives and seek wealth regardless of life and death.
The amount of money alone is not enough. For example, there are a large number of civilized city-states in the cold northern soil, and there are also ancient nobles who founded city-states. Their family leaders still serve as knights in the church's record books, and are also ranked by the strength of the ancient nobles. Among them, even the richest duke level, their annual income is only 30,000 to 40,000 gold..... ..... It takes two years to earn 60,000 gold pounds.
Of course, these years of income are not all the wealth of the ancient nobles. Their assets are mainly concentrated in land, bonds, and a large number of company stock investments. That is the source of their wealth, and they are not included in their annual income.
This is so, the annual income of the noble duke is also amazing, but it is only half of Sulman’s reward. It is conceivable that what is the concept of 60,000 gold pounds? This wealth can make ordinary People spend the rest of their lives splurge.
It is worthy of the wealth that Adolf Shipbuilding has exhausted his family fortune. This is the accumulation of several generations in [Anger Shark Port]. The entire family has hundreds of years of experience. Next, Sulman will divide them. One-third of it.
As soon as Sylvie's voice fell, Sulman felt that the nearby sight was faintly mixed with some complex emotions such as envy, jealousy, and even hatred.
However, due to the existence of Sylvie, no one dared to be too explicit. They carefully looked at Sulman one by one, guessing his relationship with Sylvie. What is the relationship between the two? Let the latter be willing to give this large amount of wealth directly to him?
Compared to other people's guesses, there was no joy on Sulman's face, as if he was not the person who got the gift. Sulman looked at the gray-haired girl calmly, as if waiting for the other party to follow.
Sure enough, Sylvie raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw his behavior, but she showed some appreciation--
"Next, you will stay in the Black Cross and do things. From now on, you will have nothing to do with Adolf Shipbuilding."
"The new crew member of the Black Cross, this is your future status."
Sylvie said slowly, in an unquestionable tone.
During the whole process, she didn't ask the other party's opinion at all. She acted aggressively and seemed to be sure of the result.
It turned out to be like this...Everyone suddenly realized and understood Sylvie’s true intentions. The 60,000 gold pounds was not given to him in vain, but bought the other person’s life freedom and let' Magellan' became a member of the Black Cross and obeyed her orders from now on.
In this way, it may not be a good deal.
Even if sixty thousand gold pounds is a huge sum of money for astronomy, it is worth the risk of a Tier 3 powerhouse, but the price is his permanent freedom, which is not a bargain. After all, the former is at best a risk of life and death, and the latter is the loss of freedom for life and becoming someone else's thug. These are two concepts. Sometimes, living in pain is more tormenting than death.
Thinking of this, the eyes of everyone looking at ‘Magellan’ are no longer envy, and all of them are faintly teasing. Even if you are a strong person at the level of ‘Amnesty Councillor’, what if you are stronger than us?
In the end, didn't he obediently submit to the rules and become a thug raised by the Black Cross?
Everyone sits on an equal footing. They are all crew members. They even joined the pirate team earlier and have more status than Magellan. Unless the opponent survives the observation period and is promoted to the top of the pirate group, can they rely on Tier 3 strength to be qualified to order them...
Sylvie ignores their small actions. This is a characteristic tradition of the pirate group. Old crew members bully the newcomers, even if the other party is a ‘third-tier powerhouse’. With her in charge, the newcomer can’t cause any trouble.
The next moment, Sylvie looked at the people of Adolf Shipbuilding, looking straight at Quentin——
"I am recruiting new crew members, do you have any objections?"
Quentin was stunned for a moment, only to realize that the "new crew" the other party said was referring to "Magellan".
Suddenly, there was a bit of hesitation on his face. To be honest, Adolf Shipbuilding was able to hook up with a wild power who was promoted to Tier 3, which is very beneficial to his own position, and he does not want to let'Magellan' separate from them. .
For example, to maintain a good relationship between the two parties, in the future, under the arrangement of the Black Cross, they will be active again in the Sea of Ashes. At this time, they will have an additional ally of the ‘Parliament Councillor’.
Whether it is entrusting the other party or deterring the enemy, there is a huge operating space.
However, once'Magellan' joins the Black Cross Pirates, he will not act alone. It represents the will of the Black Cross. Therefore, he cannot be allowed to act alone. It also means that Quentin has lost one. foreign aid.
At most, he finds the Black Cross and asks the other party for assistance...whether the latter can help him depends on his mood.
So from the bottom of my heart, Quentin doesn't want "Magellan" to join the Black Cross. Unfortunately, Sylvie's words are so clear that Quentin has no guts to refuse, nor does he have the qualifications to refuse the other party.
"Of course, all these are the personal affairs of Master Hong Qiangwei."
"It has nothing to do with me, how can I object?"
Quentin hurriedly smiled, and immediately separated himself from Magellan for fear of getting into a little trouble.
Sylvie nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with the answer. In fact, Quentin didn't know a little bit. Sylvie believed that Adolf Shipbuilding had long been secretly connected with Magellan and was also their collaborator.
Actually, Sulman and Adolf Shipbuilding have not met for a few days. It is far from what outsiders have seen, just like they came prepared, this is an error in information, including the hope Elvi was also in the dark.
So by mistake, everyone in Adolf Shipbuilding was beaten up like this, and even the person who was beaten was still dizzy and didn't know what happened... .
Not even knowing what pot he was carrying, made Sylvie's impression of them plummet.
"Set sail, ready to return to our stronghold..."
Sylvie was about to turn back and give instructions, when suddenly, there was an unharmonious voice from her side.
"The captain seems..."
"Have you not asked my opinion yet?"
Sulman took the initiative to speak, in an unhurried tone, and asked the gray-haired girl.
Before the words were over, the surrounding pirates were stunned. They seemed to smell the fishy sharks, and they turned their heads in a hurry, looking at Sulman with incredulous eyes. How many days have passed? No one dared to go against her will. From the day the gray-haired girl boarded the pirate regiment, the other party used force to suppress the entire ship and established her rule on the ship.
What's more, she also demonstrated the strength of the fourth rank, a real dawn powerhouse. In this case, that ‘newcomer’ actually dared to question Sylvie’s decision? Does he want his life, or is he purely crazy?
This thought resounded in everyone's heart.
"You?"
Sylvie's eyebrows tightened, and she showed a bit of playfulness again, which seemed very interesting, so she simply asked: "What is your opinion? After I gave you a full 60,000 gold pounds , How do you plan to repay it?"
The implication was that Sylvie didn't allow the other party to refuse her gift, so she could only agree to it.
As for how to repay the ‘debt’, that’s also a personal issue for ‘Magellan’ and it has nothing to do with her in the main body.
"These are not enough. If you want me to join the Black Cross, you still need to promise me a condition."
Sulman looked directly at each other, his gaze kept swimming, capturing every detail of Sylvie's eyes, and after careful inspection, he still couldn't help complimenting each other, except for the wheat-colored skin. Perfect girl. Even in the eyes of some people, girls with wheat-colored skin are more attractive and more in line with their aesthetics.
After all, this is a ‘healthy’ color, and it is also full of youthful vitality.
While Sulman looked closely, his words and actions fell in the eyes of others, which immediately caused an uproar. For a while, the nearby pirates looked at him unkindly--
"There is another condition to be promised? Sir, do you take yourself too seriously?"
"I admit that Tier 3 powerhouses are very powerful, but our great captain also killed a lot of powerhouses with his own hands, all with strength similar to yours..........you must be careful to become the next One!"
"Who...who would you send it to?"
Some pirates are cynical, and some pirate brothers are more straightforward and swear words on the spot. They are simple and rude, and extremely practical, which fits their status and class.
Sylvie suddenly raised her hand. Seeing her behavior, many pirates chose to shut up as if their mouths were zipped.
It can be seen that Sylvie's prestige among them is very high, and she is prohibited from doing anything, almost forming an instinctive reaction. You know, this is not a group of ordinary people, but the most chaotic and undisciplined pirates. Their jurisdiction is several times more difficult than normal people. This is the opposite extreme of trained soldiers.
"Tell me about your conditions."
Sylvie raised her little hand, gently curling her long silver-grey hair, with a playful look on her pretty face.
It's as if the cat with the winning ticket teased the mouse, because she was so sure that she didn't rush to make a move, wanting to see what tricks this ‘Magellan’ would play.
As a result, Sulman met the other person’s gaze and said something they didn’t expect--
"My request is very simple. You have beaten me in a heads-up. I will join the Black Cross and serve you as the Lord..."
"This is my additional condition."
His........ The nearby pirates took a breath, almost thinking that their ears had auditory hallucinations, or the brain was flooded, that they would get such a bizarre answer? !
After doing it for a long time, one of the additional conditions he requested was to let the captain defeat the opponent in a heads-up match?
This....... Isn't this for nothing?
Thinks similar to each other have emerged in the hearts of the pirates. Maybe they don’t understand the meaning of "free to give", but they can have similar meanings in their hearts. In short, when they hear the request of "Magellan" At that moment, all expressions were stunned.
At this moment, someone even wanted to ask Sulman, are you going to find a step down? So it is unnecessary to choose an opponent that can't be beaten deliberately, so that you can betray the Angry Shark Harbor and take the initiative to join the pirate group?
This........ Besides this, they can't think of any other explanation.
"Good!"
Sylvie was not a dragger. She was the first to react and immediately agreed to Sulman's condition. However, she did not rush to do it, but looked around the deck.
At this moment, the fighting on the three big ships (two ancient sailing ships + one steam cruise) has long since subsided, and they are entering the final stage of cleaning the battlefield. Sylvie also ignored them. Unsurprisingly, the remaining sailing ship of the Silver Moon Church will become their trophy. As for the steam cruise, it will be left to the people of Adolf Shipbuilding. Sylvie has no intention to **** the wealth of acquaintances.
Due to the orderly evacuation, they were in the sail of the Silvermoon Church, coming out of the previous breach. A batch of Silvermoon members were escorted to the cell below by the pirates, and the two hulls were in order. Separate.
Returning her gaze, Sylvie took a look at him, and said calmly:
"The career path is the secret of each of us. As for the ability to master the path, it is the secret in the secret..."
"Since you plan to join the Black Cross, surely you don't want to expose your abilities and let too many outsiders know about it?"
"Come with me~IndoMTL.com~ Let's go to the secret room below to duel... Don't worry, the venue is big enough."
Under the seemingly indifferent words, it was filled with extreme confidence, especially the sentence "Since you plan to join the Black Cross." Obviously, from Sylvie's point of view, Sulman asked her for a single duel. Just get down a step and save some face for both sides.
Heh, men are creatures who want face...Fortunately, my little baby is not! Sylvie mumbled silently, without giving Sulman a chance to answer, turned around and walked up to the stairs, and ordered the others to stay on the deck, only ‘Magellan’ was allowed to get off.
So Sulman followed behind her ass, and the two descended the stairs, step by step to the bottom of the ship.
In an extremely wide secret room, there are empty cells and messy instruments of torture around it.
"Are you ready?"
Sylvie turned her head suddenly, her light gray eyes stared at the other side quietly, her long gray hair scattered behind her, as if she was out for an outing, relaxed and freehand.
