Pirate Company

King Philip nodded and said: "The bullfighting family gave the Viking pirates the power to rob other countries' merchant ships, and you don't have to worry about the anger of the countries in the Red Earth Continent. As an ally, I hope you can do more than that, you should understand .”

Unexpectedly, King Philip would endow the Viking pirates with such great power. With the promise of the Bullfighting Kingdom, the Viking pirates are like getting the sword of Shangfang. Harald couldn't help but ecstatically.

To put it bluntly, King Philip's words are equivalent to giving the Viking pirates the right to legally carry out piracy.

In the future, when the countries of the Red Earth Continent think of taking action against themselves, I am afraid they will have to carefully weigh whether it is worth it.

It is not a fun thing to offend the bullfighting kingdom.

"I assure you that the Tudor Kingdom will become the primary target of the Viking pirates." Harald thought for a while, and immediately understood what King Philip said.

Now the confidant of the Bullfighting Kingdom is suffering from the Tudor Kingdom.

King Philip was very satisfied with Harald's intelligence, so he broke it at one point and praised: "I admit that King Blonde is qualified to become a partner of the Bullfighting Kingdom."

"I have nothing else to do, so I will resign first. After all, there are still a lot of things waiting to be dealt with in the country." Harald's goal was achieved, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit like an arrow.

With no worries about the future, he must flex his muscles.

"Go, for our cooperation."

After King Philip signaled, Harald left the fiery palace of the bullfighting kingdom with a glance.

At the same time, the Viking Pirates, who were galloping along the coast of the Red Earth Continent and under Harald's banner, received two orders: first, find Zhou Xian and catch Zhou Xian. Second, target the looting to the Tudor Kingdom.

"Ah Choo."

"I've been blowing the sea breeze for too long, do I have a cold?" Since practicing cultivation, I almost forgot the feeling of sneezing. A sudden sneeze made Zhou Xian feel strange.

Having just obtained a fortune from Viking pirates, Zhou Yixian plans to avoid the limelight first, thinking that the most dangerous place is the safest place.

A dark night came, and he took a few people around him back to the Northern Red Earth Continent.

It's not that Zhou Xian didn't want to continue to get wealth from the Viking pirates, but that it was too dangerous. On the surface of the current Red Earth Continent, except for the central sea where there are no Viking pirates, they exist everywhere else.

The people were full of joy, and they plundered the wealth of the ship, and they hadn't warmed it up yet. You snatched it at once, the anger in the hearts of the Viking pirates, needless to say, they hate Zhou Yixian even more than the believers in the Red Earth Continent.

Whenever you meet at sea, you have to fight to the death with the other party.

It's so annoying to grab something from a pirate.

There is a bullfighting kingdom in the central sea, and there are pirates who are stalking him on other seas. For Zhou Yixian, there is no safe place on the sea of ​​Red Earth Continent.

If he didn't hide, he could have other ideas.

"Cold?" Wandering around the North Red Earth Continent with Zhou Yixian, Eve looked puzzled, how did the other party have such a physical reaction, "With your current strength, it is basically impossible, could it be that you are infected with a strange virus? "

You have just been infected with a strange virus!

Zhou Yixian looked at Eve with resentful eyes, and said, "Sneezing doesn't mean you have a cold. In my hometown, when someone speaks ill of you behind your back, you will also sneeze."

"Is there, is there such a magical custom among human beings?" Xingye seemed to think of something interesting, his eyes were a little more cunning.

"Ah Choo."

On Monday, for no reason, I sneezed again.

"Sure enough, I'm infected with a strange virus, so I'd better go see a doctor." One sneeze can be said to be a bad word behind someone's back, and two consecutive sneezes must be a cold.

Eve became more determined, her inner judgment.

"As I said, I don't have a cold, nor have I contracted any strange virus." Zhou Yi Xian defended righteously.

"Hee hee. It's true." After the Xingye experiment came to fruition, he lowered his head and laughed happily. When he looked up, he found Zhou Xian was looking at him. He quickly waved his hands and said, "I No, it's not me. I didn't speak ill of you behind your back just now, I just thought about it in my heart."

"Look, the customs in my hometown are not wrong." Zhou Yixian looked at Eve speechlessly.

"It's true, such a miraculous thing." Eve suddenly became playful.

"Ah Choo."

"Enough is enough for you, don't speak ill of me in secret."

Sneezing continuously for a while, Zhou Yixian looked at the two people beside him with an angry expression.

"Don't try, we promise."

Seeing Zhou Xian pretending to be angry, Eve and Xingye, cooperating to stop the thoughts in his mind, Zhou Yixian finally stopped sneezing.

"They came back, I don't know if they found anything."

"Looking at the expressions on their faces, they must have found nothing. It is not so easy to find a place to live."

"I don't think so. Let's ask first before talking."

Approaching a small seaport, the appearance of several ships caused a commotion among the crowd waiting at the port.

"I even forgot, it's the first time they've gone to sea, haven't they given up yet?" After staying here for a while, Zhou Yi and the others certainly understood why the crowd was commotioning, and Xingye muttered in a low voice, "Humans , is really a persistent creature."

"When you are forced by life, you will also burst into obsessions that ordinary people can't understand." Unlike Xingye and Eve, they have enjoyed a life of luxury since they were born, and have low-level life experiences. It is very good to understand the thinking of the group of people on the boat.

The Northern Red Earth Continent could no longer live. They wanted more than anyone else to find a land that could provide them with a stable life.

The blond king has ambitions beyond the ocean, and the earth is also within the scope of his ambitions. After obtaining enough wealth at sea, he once again launched an external expansion.

War needs money to support.

The wealth plundered by his Viking pirates from the Red Earth Continent almost threw Harald into a protracted foreign war.

So, he turned his attention to the people in the country.

The Northern Red Earth Continent has always been hierarchical. To give a simple example, as long as they are born in this land, children will know what social status they are in and what obligations they have to society as soon as they are sensible.

The hierarchy of society is clearly defined.

Everyone who lived on the Northern Red Earth Continent had to contribute a certain amount of tribute according to their status. The higher the status, the more tribute to pay accordingly.

The person with the highest status must contribute 15 mink skins, 5 reindeer skins, and a bear skin, 11 short coats made of bear or otter skins, two ship cables, 1 whale skin, plus other seals skin, and some down collected from duck nests in the north.

A considerable part of such a heavy tribute was collected in the name of paying taxes to the blonde king, Harald.

This is only in normal times. Now during the war, under the rule of Harald, the tribute that the people have to pay has increased a lot.

The people who couldn't afford it, couldn't pay the tribute, and couldn't live on, so they had no choice but to flee Harald's territory.

And, most people have already put it into action.

The upcoming ships at the port are crowdfunded by a group of the most outstanding sailors, with the expectation of finding a new land for them, to explore the fleet.

This time, the crowd at the port, I can't remember how many times, saw the expedition fleet come back.

Although they returned with disappointing news every time, they couldn't dispel another expectation in their hearts.

As long as you come back, there is always hope, isn't it?

"How about it, have you found a new continent?"

"This time, the time you left is almost as long as one winter."

"There must be a piece of land that can allow you to survive the cold winter."

As soon as the sailors on the fleet stood firmly on the ground in the port, a group of people surrounded them and asked the questions they cared about most.

"Sorry, we haven't found a new continent where we can live in peace." Facing everyone's expectant eyes, a group of sailors shook their heads disappointedly.

"How is it possible? With only a few ships, it is absolutely impossible for an excellent sailor to drift on the sea for a whole winter."

"You are lying, you must have found a new continent."

"I see. You all want to monopolize the New World. That's why you say you haven't found it."

"Tell me quickly, is this the case, are you lying to us?"

Disappointed again and again, a group of people guarding the port, the lost crowd is almost desperate.

"Cruel life, can't really give us a little bit of hope?"

"Laven Floki, talk, have we been abandoned by life?"

A group of people crowded in the port turned their last hope to the leading sailor.

He was the best sailor among the group, and if he said he hadn't found it, he probably hadn't found it.

Unable to bear the disappointment of everyone, Froki couldn't bear it, and said frankly: "As you said, we found a new continent, which allowed us to survive the winter."

"We don't have life to abandon, we have hope."

"Where is it, take us there quickly."

"I've had enough. Living in this land, there is despair everywhere."

The crowded crowd finally burst into excited shouts.

"Don't worry, everyone, just listen to me first." Floki saw the fire of hope rekindled in everyone's eyes, and the guilt in his heart became more serious, Qian Bai said loudly: "The continent we discovered is a small cold island , I can swear that when you have personally experienced the coldness of the island, you will never want to visit any small island again. For this cold island, the crew can testify that we have the same idea, and we One person gave this small island the same name, that is Iceland.”

"Iceland."

"Colder, you can always live."

The crowd murmured.

Floki cried aloud, and said, "If it's to Iceland, I swear I'll never go to sea again. I'd rather be on this heavy-breathing land."

Our hopes are gone.

Seeing Floki's swearing, everyone finally believed that Iceland was not suitable for living.

The eyes of a group of people at the port turned cold.
