Black sails

Chapter 136 CXXXV. Kaizi

The royal capital of Aram.

It is a complex of buildings belonging to the Eternal Sect, a parish for clergy to live in. The streets are extremely clean. The holy white wall tiles and roof eaves are all the same color, supplemented by lush trees, lawns and vines. The appearance and style of the well-proportioned buildings are completely unified. If only On the surface, this is indeed a pure land.

Single apartment in a six-story building.

Sharon took off her black nun's hat, yawned profusely, and threw the piece of rag on the ground casually like trash.

She was no longer in the mood to cook.

Today's weekly pilgrimage and hymn singing made her covered in sweat. As soon as she got home, she lay down on the table to take a nap, and did not dare to lie down in bed, fearing that sleeping until the early hours of the morning would ruin her biological clock.

Working in the Holy See, when you are not busy, you have nothing to do. When you are busy, all kinds of activities are carried out. It is simply not a job for humans.

I have no piety towards the Dragon Lord, I just want to eat.

But it has been very busy recently. The steam train transporting goods has proven its value. It has been officially in operation from the Imperial Capital to Chenxi Port for more than a month, which has solved the problem of backlog of cargo at the port and increased the throughput. In the long run, the benefits are huge.

The trial operation of the manned train has been put on the agenda. It is estimated that in a month, some princes and nobles will be invited to experience this novel thing.

Although steam trains have just been built, the world has already had the concept of magic energy industry. Some precision machine irons can be driven by magic energy, and there are even mechanical dolls.

The Aran Imperial Capital is also farther and more spectacular than any other city in Sharon's hometown.

In aristocratic homes, fuel lamps have long been abandoned and fluorite can be used for lighting. However, recently, the guys including William have been manufacturing large quantities of sodium lamps with asbestos covers and glass shell gas discharges, and their business is increasing.

The new city industrial zone is being planned.

The mana industry, which is expensive to build and consumes a lot of energy, is not universal, and only a small number of people can enjoy the results. These cheap materials, which can be found everywhere, can be widely used in civilian fields and greatly enhance Yalan's national strength.

But everything has two sides. The operation of the train means the unemployment of a large number of adventurers. These mercenaries who used to protect the caravans through bodyguards have not had a good life.

But in Yalan, the negative impact will not be that high. Although Yalan said that the military and police officers were walking around, there is no need to worry about public security. Even if there are gangs and violence, it is all done under cover of the thieves' guild and the underground world. The forces dare not jump on the bright side.

Relatively speaking, Alan is the most peaceful country. There are no outlaws who dare to kill people in the street, let alone the imperial capital, under the emperor's feet.

Speaking of which, the letter to Li Site has been sent for so long, but there is still no reply, and I don’t know if it has reached him. The adventurer hired by the guild must be reliable.

The atmosphere within the sect has been extremely uncomfortable recently. The priest with whom he has a close relationship has been holding endless meetings every day since he went to observe the "manifestation" ceremony.

Something big indeed happened.

Although the Emperor has completely opened up Aram and allowed positive religious forces to enter and preach, it is impossible for the Eternal Sect not to feel threatened. The Judgment Office has existed since ancient times, and it is full of fanatical believers, wearing heavy plate armor like cans. Pastor, it seems that there are more and more people in the tribunal recently.

Sharon is just a person who wants to live a peaceful life, praying that nothing will happen to her.

Although the territory of Syria seems to be peaceful, it is actually wartime, but Syria is in a favorable situation.

Sharon looked at her schedule. She would have to go to the train station in a while to perform some inexplicable religious rituals.

In short, it is to put a talisman on the train. It needs the blessing of the Dragon Lord so that the wheels can run on the rails. Maybe they will face those traitors.

"What is this all about?"

Sharon just felt ridiculous.

William and the others have discovered themselves, and now their status is still limited. The mysterious magician does not have to conflict with the Holy See for his own sake.

But if their status becomes higher and higher, then the warlocks will pay more attention to them, and their own safety will gradually be threatened.

I just hope that Li Site's reply will arrive soon so that Sharon can make a choice: showdown with the Holy See or find another way to make a living, because she has been exposed.

Seven days later.

Due to the influence of ocean currents and monsoons, it is much faster to go from Tianguo Port than back to Tianguo Port.

This can be regarded as an advantage of Tianguo Port, which makes it isolated from the world and forms its own system.

Li Site's favorite supply point is Kelsuna Island.

Owing to time constraints.

This time we only docked for one night, and all the supplies were bought ready-made at high prices. There was no need to place an order first. After the sailors finished their prostitution, they bought all the goods and dragged them onto the ship and left immediately.

Time is the most precious thing now. This time we will not take the old route on the east coast. The original U-shaped route has become a mirrored L-shaped route.

He went straight to the shore of Mangrove Bay in the southern wetland, found Hun Jianglong's old friend there, and asked his friend to send a few acquaintances to lead the way, through the wetland, and then through two small countries that were bigger than a palm, until he reached Yalan.

Li Site never suffered a loss. He thought that buying spot goods at a high price this time was more or less painful, and he had to find a place to make up for it.

Inside the Admiral's Office.

"The two of us have had a life-long friendship for so many years. I have helped you kill so many people, and I have worked hard and got more credit. Now I am asking you to borrow some money, and you turn your back on me and refuse to recognize me. Who should I ask to reason with you? "

Li Site sat on the chair, his expression as angry as possible, as if he had been betrayed.

Since he didn't come here to ask for help, Li Site came here just to cause trouble.

Brought Archer in.

"Holy shit, what kind of egg model is this? It's so dry when you touch it."

Archer broke a brand new ship model, but without any apology, he continued to violently break open the deck to see if the internal structure was equally exquisite.

The admiral's face turned blue. He didn't know what evil he had done in his previous life. He didn't even want to face someone like Li Site. Every time he passed by, he had to get some benefit from himself. Otherwise, he would force him to die. The worst he could do was play together. After all, it’s really hard to chop or cook the hob meat. Once it’s stuck on the dog skin plaster, you can’t tear it off.

Li Site's main focus in negotiating is a self-destructing truck. Regardless of whether the negotiation is successful or not, he must show his momentum first. If it doesn't work, forget it. After all, he won't really explode, which means he will scare you.

"How much do you want to borrow?"

The admiral suppressed his anger and said calmly.

"Um...seventy golden dragons."

Li Site rubbed his hands and said shyly.

The admiral exploded on the spot and slammed the table. This number really shakes people up. I bet you want to get back the money you spent last time to get another person, and earn four more gold dragons by the way, right?

"Why are there such shameless people like you?"

The admiral clenched his fists tightly. Even though he was in such a high position, he was already red and warm. Li Site completely regarded himself as the hero.

"Alas... Brothers can't eat anymore. Look at this man, he's cerebral palsy from hunger. I borrowed it from you, not asked for it from you. I will return it to you."

Li Site's words were serious and thoughtful.

"Repay it? Will you pay it back in fifty years or in the next life? It's not that I won't help you. You can use these ten gold coins and I won't care about the rest."

The admiral really wanted to call in the musketeers and kill these two men.

Li Site immediately sang the song, arranging the music and writing the lyrics himself. Anyway, he was not good at it, just yelling randomly.

"The great hero, Admiral, deceived all the common people and committed crimes with pirates. The law of heaven cannot forgive such evils."

Li Site also clapped his hands and played the drums.

The admiral was completely convinced and paid the money honestly.

Li Site weighed it in his hands and found that it was almost the same number, but he was not interested in counting.

"Next time I come back, I may talk to you about some trading business."

"Brother, I beg you, don't come again, okay?"
