Chapter 479 The First Beauty and the King of Pirates
"Let's not talk about this first," Apache waved his hand and continued the unfinished topic: "The second is pirates." In the City of Sails, pirates are a force that cannot be ignored. "
"Not all merchant ships carrying goods to the City of Black Sails can arrive at the dock of the City of Black Sails safely like you."
He told this unreasonable matter in a very calm tone.
"All ships coming to the City of Black Sails must go through the pirate level before landing at the dock. They are active in the waters of the Blue Flame Islands, looking for targets, plundering ships from all over the world, and snatching goods."
"The gang will reach a cooperation agreement with the pirates. The pirates are responsible for robbing, and the gang is responsible for selling the stolen goods."
"After the pirates rob a merchant ship, they will transport the goods to They then sell the stolen goods through various channels controlled by the gangs, including the black market, and exchange the goods for shiny gold coins. "
"In addition, gangs often use the power of pirates to attack their competitors."
"They hire pirates to attack other gangs' ships or even the docks they control, thereby weakening each other's strength and engaging in gang wars."
Apache's description in a few words gave Gothe a deep understanding of the "chaos" in the City of Black Sails.
"And from the current point of view, pirates can be said to be the most powerful force in the City of Black Sails, at least for more than a hundred years."
"In the City of Black Sails, pirates are the strongest force?!" Hearing this, Gothe was slightly surprised, and when he and Lan Wen looked at each other, they felt a little outrageous.
In their perception, pirates are somewhat invisible. Even among the "dark forces", pirates have no sense of existence.
Also, according to Apache, gangs are related to so many forces and are involved in all aspects of Black Sails City. So they are not the most powerful force?
"Yes," Apache nodded affirmatively and explained: "In the past, gangs were the strongest in the City of Black Sails, but since that man appeared, the pattern of the City of Black Sails has been changed."
"That man?" Lan Wen spoke up for the first time, and his curiosity was obviously aroused.
"A man known as the King of Pirates, a mage who is proficient in necromancy," Apache emphasized in his voice: "Davey Jones!"
"He is a five-ring mage who is also a cruel and cunning man. A man who is extremely resourceful. "
"Davy Jones's biggest hobby is bone carving. In fact, his bone carving skills are indeed superb. Not only in the City of Black Sails, but also in big cities outside, his bone carvings can be sold at high prices."
"But what's different from other bone carving artists is...::::" A hint of fear flashed in Apache's eyes, "David only carves on living human bones."
h "Living human bones...::::" Gothe had already vaguely guessed the specific meaning.
"David would catch the person who challenged his authority, tie him to a chair, and first use a razor to scrape off the other person's muscle tissue."
"Then he would carve and paint on the bones of his body. During the process, David will cast necromancy to ensure that the other party remains awake and alive. "What a powerful necromancy...::. In addition to being cruel and perverted, Gothe also had to marvel at David's profound knowledge of necromancy.
After all, it is not an easy task in itself to keep the other person alive while removing all the muscles from his body.
"
h "His most commendable and crazy deed was to seize one of their warships from the Holy Empire's navy."
h "And what he grabbed was the warship that was once served by one of the three giants of the Holy Empire, the Imperial Commander Du Adolfo, the Iron Crown."
"There is no doubt that he got angry, and the Holy Empire Navy vowed to cut Davy Jones into pieces,"
h "But Davy Jones, pursued by the angry Imperial Navy, returned to the Blue Flame Islands unharmed in the Iron Crown."
"As you can see, the Blue Flame Islands are located to the west of the Plantagenet Dynasty. The Plantagenet Dynasty can tolerate the existence of the City of Black Sails, but it will never sit back and watch the naval fleet of the Holy Empire sail in, even if the reason for their sailing in is to pursue Davy Jones."
"Therefore, the Holy Empire's navy has no choice but to return."
"The great source of disaster, Abaddon, restricts mages above the fifth ring from entering the Blue Flame Islands. Even the all-powerful Holy Empire cannot break through this restriction."
"Following up, they sent mages, and even hired killers and assassins to our Black Sails City, hoping to bring Davy Jones to justice. However, because the highest level was limited to the fifth ring, there was nothing we could do against Davy Jones."
"Davy Jones also got his name from this battle, which completely established his status as the pirate king and the ruler of the Black Sails City."
"Davy Jones has offended too many people, and they have offered huge bounties on Davy Jones's head, but Davy Jones doesn't care at all. Instead, he is proud of it and regards the rising bounty as his own glory."
"Seventy years ago, Davy Jones had already broken the historical bounty record of the City of Black Sails' bounty list with a sky-high bounty of 270,000 gorse coins."
"In the past seventy years, as he has continued to rob and wreak havoc in the sea, new forces have continued to add bounties."
"Even every time he returns from the outside sea with a full load, he will add a bounty order worth 1 gorse coin to himself and post it on the bounty notice board in the City of Black Sails. This is not only a challenge to those who hate him to the core, but also a demonstration of his own strength."
"Now..." Apache recalled and affirmed: "Davy Jones's latest bounty has reached 38
The bounty of 380,000 gorse coins."
The bounty of 380,000 gorse coins...:::. Hearing this number, Gothe couldn't help but take a deep breath.
This is just a bounty. If Davy Jones is really captured, the benefits will definitely be more than that.
Because Davy Jones has been running rampant for so many years, his accumulated wealth must be an extremely terrifying figure.
"Bounty notice board? Bounty list?" After lamenting the worth of Davy Jones, Gothe captured two more key pieces of information.
"This is also a characteristic of our City of Black Sails," Apache said, spreading his hands: "We Abaddons only account for 10% of the City of Black Sails, and the rest are all foreign wolves.
Most of these outsiders are outlaws who committed crimes in their hometown. They committed a heinous crime or offended someone they shouldn't have offended, and were hunted down to the point of desperation, so they had no choice but to take refuge in our Black Sail City."
"Although they hid in the Black Sail City, many of their enemies were unwilling to let them go, so they offered bounties on their heads."
"After all, in a place like Black Sail City, as long as they have money, most people are willing to do anything, and killing is just a common thing. This is the prototype of the bounty list."
Apache smiled. , showing two rows of white teeth: "At the back, everyone found that the reward method is very useful: put a reward on the enemy. If you have more money, a ruthless person will take action; if you have less money, the guy will be worried every day, and he will crawl into the gutter like a rat when he goes out."
"A large bounty is placed on the head, which in turn gives rise to the emergence of the last force in our Black Sail City."
"Bounty hunter." Gothe is not stupid, so he can naturally relate to it.
Apache nodded, "Yes, it's the bounty hunter."
"Bounty hunters are actually the most special existence among the four forces. What they mainly do is to hunt down and kill the bounty targets hanging on the bounty notice board in Black Sails City, and then exchange their heads for huge bounties." Although bounty was already popular in the City of Black Sails at that time, no force had ever endorsed it. "
"This has also led to more than one situation where bounty hunters accepted the bounty order and killed the target of the bounty, but were rejected."
"This has happened so many times that bounty hunters no longer believe in the bounty order and have lost their credibility."
"Seeing that the bounty order was about to become useless and the rules were about to become obsolete, the bounty hunter, who had the most outstanding record at the time and was the most powerful, couldn't stand it any longer.
"He used his influence to summon bounty hunters and took the lead in establishing the Bounty Hunter Alliance in the City of Black Sails."< br/>
h "He brought in all the bounty hunters through the alliance, and set up a special bounty notice board to issue bounty orders."
h "Everyone who wants to issue a bounty order must first go through the identity verification of the bounty hunter alliance.
In this way, even if they want to default on their debts afterwards, the Bounty Hunter Alliance can organize people to liquidate them,
and go directly to their homes to collect the bounty. ”
"With the establishment of the Bounty Hunter Alliance, defaults gradually disappeared, and the status of bounty orders gradually became more and more stable."
"Later, bounties became more and more common, and everyone found that the level of bounty can also reflect personal strength and influence to a certain extent."
"As a result, some powerful Black Sail City mages even began to compete with each other. The value of the bounty is equal to its own reputation. "
"In this case, the Bounty Hunter Alliance also adapted to the situation and released a bounty list according to the level of the bounty, listing the top 100 people with the highest bounty."
"The emergence of the bounty list has completely spread the bounty and has become an eternal hot topic in the City of Black Sail."
“In addition, because the bounty form of the bounty order is a bounty pool, that is, as long as someone posts a similar bounty, the bounty hunter alliance will put the bounty amount together and keep adding it up. Therefore, the bounties carried by characters who can be on the bounty list for a long time are terrifyingly high.”
「如今黑帆之城能数得上名的势力首领，名字都在赏金榜上挂着呢。」
好家伙，这不海贼王嘛..：：..听到这，高德在心中下意识吐了一槽。
"The cooperation model between bounty hunters and gangs is mainly intelligence trading."
"Bounty hunters use money to buy detailed information about targets from gangs, and then rely on their own experience and strength to complete tasks. Occasionally, gangs will issue tasks in the Bounty Hunter Alliance to deal with internal traitors, key figures of competitors, etc."
"It is said that they are bounty hunters, but in fact they are more like paid killers." Gothe raised his eyebrows and realized that in the City of Black Sails, even the "bounty hunter", a profession that is more literal in the positive sense, has a gray tone here.
"That's right, after all, this is a city of sin." Apache spread his hands and said with surprise.
"The establishment of the Bounty Hunters Alliance actually only standardized bounty orders and protected the rights of bounty hunters, but did not change their lone wolf way of survival.
In addition, there is no leader who can order many bounty hunters. The pack of wolves is leaderless, so bounty hunters have been regarded as a special existence rather than a force for so many years. "
"It's actually only happened in recent decades that they have truly become one of the four major forces in the City of Black Sails...::::" Apache said slowly, with a little more awe in his eyes: "The source is because of the emergence of a female bounty hunter named Sarah Fortune."
"How to say it? ?"
"This is the most legendary story in the City of Black Sails in the past few decades, Sarah Fortune....
"No one knows her origins. Everyone only knows that thirty years ago, she came to the City of Black Sails by boat, and after stepping onto the dock, she received her first bounty order from the Bounty Hunter Alliance."
"Half an hour after she posted the bounty order, Sarah completed the first bounty in her life, killing a small gang leader, and then cut off his head and went to the gang that issued the bounty, in exchange for a large bounty."
"Then, she came to the bounty hunter alliance's bounty notice board and tore off dozens of bounty orders without looking at them.
Enter the City of Black Sail. "
"In less than a month, the more than ten bounty orders she tore off were all delivered and cashed, and anyone she targeted would have to hand over his or her head."
"There has never been a bounty hunter as flamboyant as her, as young as her, but with powerful means, and has never failed."
"In the following years, her reputation in the City of Black Sails became more and more popular, and the things she did became more and more amazing year by year."
"Until the tenth year after arriving in the City of Black Sails, Sarah personally killed one of the top ten pirate groups in the City of Black Sails. Shabala, the leader of the Fire Knife pirate group, took away their Fire Knife pirate ship. Based on this, he gradually gathered a group of loyal men around him and established the first bounty hunter group "Golden Coin". ”
“Since then, bounty hunters have truly squeezed into the four major forces, and no one dares to treat them as stragglers anymore.”
“A gold coin hunter group can make bounty hunters join the ranks of the four major forces... How powerful is this Sarah?” Gothe was both sighing and curious.
“Everyone only knows that she is a fifth-ring mage, and the magic weapon she specializes in is not an ordinary mage’s staff, but two enchanted guns.
In addition, no one knows her specific methods. "
"Oh, by the way, there is another well-known point about her..." Apache paused, deliberately pretending, and saw Gothe and Lan Wen both looking curious. Reveal the answer: "She is also the most beautiful beauty in the entire city of black sails."
"It is said that the pirate king Davy Jones even had thoughts about her and sent a pirate ship full of treasures to propose marriage, but I don't know what happened afterwards, and the matter ended up nothing."
