Gus's eyes just glanced at the pirate in the back who only had eight fingers and carried a boarding ax on his back.
He immediately focused on the young man in front who didn't seem to have much to do with the image of a pirate, but was completely handsome.
He grew up in Anchor Bay and is a standard local snake.
He has seen more pirates in his lifetime than many small town residents have seen.
But such pirates are really rare.
He looks to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, but he has fair skin and broad shoulders.
The straight figure like a javelin has reached more than 180 centimeters.
Under the slightly messy black hair, a pair of blue eyes that are standard for the people of the North Island are deeper than the sea.
It was hard for people to see through, and he exuded an aura of maturity that was completely incompatible with his age from the inside out.
It looked a little familiar, but it couldn't be connected to any familiar person or portrait I had seen before.
He has a half-sword tied around his waist, a black cloak, and a captain's tricorn hat on his head. He is actually a very young pirate captain.
Although Gus was eager to find a captain to take over, after hearing his question, he still didn't have much interest in striking up a conversation.
This is not because he judges people by their appearance, but because the styles of pirates and those of the systematically trained navy are completely different.
We have always believed that "the leftover is king" and only employ people without cultivating them.
Only by experiencing battle after battle can the surviving pirates and pirate ships grow into truly strong men. The rate of premature death is really ridiculously high.
Although he was dragged down by [Talent: Shielding Sense of Presence] and could not survive for long, he still wanted to struggle a little longer.
But just when he was about to move his eyes away.
But he saw the young captain at the head suddenly nodded towards him and asked:
"Friend, do you know why Anchor Bay is so busy recently?"
Gus couldn't believe his ears.
He looked around and found that there was indeed no one else around him. He was really talking to himself, and he couldn't help but his eyes suddenly turned red.
How many years?
How long had it been since his mother passed away that he hadn't heard a stranger approach him?
His eccentric talent was indeed killing him bit by bit.
But it also brought him extraordinary abilities with astonishing effects. As long as he stayed still and made no sound, almost no one could detect his existence.
Just like Boss John said, if you change your career and become a thief, even if you walk into someone else's house and take away things, the victim won't notice.
He is a born thief, assassin, and commercial spy!
It wasn't until Byron didn't hear clearly and asked again that Gus finally came back to his senses and subconsciously explained:
“Isn’t it because the middle of next month is the day of the triennial election of the Captain’s Council?
More than a dozen mid-level councilors are vying for the position of Pirate Warden of Anchor Bay.
Throughout the North Sea, every captain recognized by the [Pirate Code] can participate in voting and join the team of the corresponding MPs to help him.
As a pirate, you don't know about such an important thing? New here? "
"Captains' Council? New Overseer? All pirate captains from all over the North Sea are coming?"
Byron couldn't help being stunned when he heard this.
During this period of time, they lived in seclusion, and the news was indeed somewhat limited.
But when Gus mentioned the captain's council and the election of warlords, Byron quickly found the relevant information from his memory.
After the original owner of this port, the North Sea Pirate King, the high-sequence legendary pirate [Whale Hunter] disappeared.
The Captains' Council of Anchor Bay is composed of a group of the most powerful pirates and manages pirate-related affairs in the pirate port and even within the North Sea.
It is equivalent to replacing the Pirate King's authority with a collegial system of parliament.
An election is held every three years, including voting and fighting, to elect a new generation of members and a responsible pirate overseer.
The Warlord not only has huge power and can control part of the power of the [Pirate Code], he is also qualified to open a big secret treasure guarded by the people of the Bay!
Power, wealth, and even unknown supernatural secrets are all at your fingertips.
This event naturally attracted many pirate captains from across the North Sea to Anchor Bay.
Although everyone knows that they are just here to join in the fun.
Although since the disappearance of [Whale Hunter], the power of pirates in the Old World has plummeted.
Like the Barbary pirates on the west coast, all the powerful figures on the east coast are gradually moving to the southern seas.
But the pirates who are eligible to run for councilors and governors must be at least mid-level, that is, powerful extraordinary beings of the third level and above.
Who doesn’t know that princes and princes are the ones with strong soldiers and horses?
The role of most pirate captains is to cast an insignificant vote.
but.
Byron had to mention a but.
This is the normal routine when there are no accidents.
This year is different.
But don't forget the page of letter found from [Magic Mirror] West.
"Before the end of October, enter Anchor Bay as a pirate and wait for the next order."
Those privateer captains driven by the House of York and the Admiralty of Hattings were among the many pirates who came to participate in the parliamentary elections.
Including the [White Crystal], all privateers summoned may become untimely bombs!
as expected.
Byron just thought of this.
At the end of the logbook [Secret: The Conspiracy of the Admiralty, Historical Influence 20], the decryption density also increased from the original 5% to 18%.
“It’s a given that you have bad intentions.
But I can’t figure out what York and the privateers controlled by them are going to do in Anchor Bay to pull out this hardest nail in the North Sea? "
Byron couldn't figure out the inside story for the time being, but he was still a little excited about the increase in decryption density.
I decided to take advantage of the crowds and walk around these two days, maybe I can find a few more pieces of the puzzle.
If there was an opportunity to cause trouble for the York family, he would never tire of doing so even if it meant losing money.
After Byron thanked the ordinary passerby, he took the honest man [eight fingers] to the "Sailor and Cat Bar".
I am going to ask the boss to find out who are the reliable sailors here.
Because the hybrid sailboat uses more longitudinal sails, it greatly enhances the wind-proofing ability and requires much fewer manpower than the square sailboat.
But if you want to operate it normally and reserve manpower for shifts to ensure full combat effectiveness at all times, you will need fifty people.
Their next task was to recruit forty experienced pirate sailors.
The honest man [Eight Fingers] went out with him to recruit crew members, and little Hans, who was trained as a [Craftsman], still stayed in the dock to help his father work.
Excellent crew members are a scarce resource.
Byron didn't need to find any powerful talents, as long as he could sail a ship, fire a cannon, engage in hand-to-hand combat, and have basic combat capabilities.
He has full confidence in his newly formulated [Ten Commandments of Pirates] and the extraordinary knowledge of various sequences in his mind.
Don’t worry about not being able to attract good crew members in the future.
"Mr. Captain, are you planning to recruit a crew?
Gus grew up here and knew all about the free sailors in the port.
Even if you want special talents, I'm familiar with the slave guild.
Having my help will definitely save you a lot of time. "
Byron's proactive greeting immediately ignited the slim hope in Gus's heart, and he quickly introduced himself to him.
As he spoke, he straightened his messy clothes a little, stretched out five fingers, and gave Byron a big smile:
"Sir, five copper furs!
It only costs five copper furs, and you won’t suffer a loss or be fooled. It’s definitely worth every penny! "
1 gold pound is equal to 20 silver nats, and 1 silver nats is equal to 15 copper furs. One copper fur can buy a standard weight of fur bread (legal specification bread).
[Eight Fingers] I have long known that my captain doesn’t have a strong concept of money.
Before he could speak, he quickly stepped forward and looked at Gus who had "I love money" written all over his face and "poor" written all over his body.
He calmly stretched out two fingers, showed off the stingy aura of the Remit merchant, and cut him in half:
"Two furl."
Gus' expression froze.
"Even if I can't sell it, as a semi-transcendent who was born with [spiritual] awakening, I still have dignity!"
At this time.
Gulu...
All three looked down at Gus's belly.
The latter can only accept it calmly:
"Deal! But can you pay me first?"
