"I am a first-class citizen of Tianying. My ancestors may have moved bricks for George I. I have always abided by the law since I was born. You have no right to restrict my personal freedom."
The handcuffed Plisson was tied to a wooden chair with ropes. He looked coldly at the middle-aged man wearing a police hat in front of him and spoke very angrily.
"Go on, pirate, and let me see what other interesting stories you can come up with."
The middle-aged man had an expressionless face and was not moved by Pleasant's fierce words at all.
"Pirate? Why do you think I am a pirate? Do you have any evidence?"
"We found two enchanted weapons on your body, as well as some jewelry and gold coins. Those jewelry and gold coins have the hidden seal left by Governor Norton's Mansion on them, and they are confirmed to be from the batch of goods robbed by the pirates of Black Crow Harbor a year ago. thing."
"This... evidence... is insufficient. To directly identify a person as a pirate based on these debris is pure slander, slander and persecution. I have the right to hire a lawyer to sue you."
Pleasant's face gradually turned ugly.
"Lawyer? Norton is not Ekaria or Nemeans. The basic legal system here is difficult to maintain. Do you still expect to find a reliable lawyer here?"
"I......."
"When the new governor led the army to encircle Black Crow Port, you were covered in wounds, carrying a bag of treasures and two enchanted weapons, and driving a small boat from the direction of Black Crow Port. Do you think you are a first-class citizen? Is it what you should do?"
"..."
"And your face always looks familiar to me. It seems to be the familiar face on the local pirate wanted posters in Norton. Although the drawings of those wanted posters are quite bad, and some are particularly inaccurate. But I can't tell if I just follow it. You can know your identity just by looking at it, and you have to trust a police officer’s observation skills.”
"...."
"It just so happens that the pirates' wanted posters are all backed up on this ship. Do you want me to bring them to you?"
"Okay, okay, I admit that I am a pirate, hang me, or shoot me directly, whichever you like, just give me a good time."
Pleasant lowered his head in resignation, with a look of despair.
He passed through the sewers, evaded the navy, and finally got on a small broken ship despite the gunfire. He barely escaped from Black Crow Harbor while the defense was lax.
But he never imagined that after successfully escaping, he would be caught by the police in Norton at least half a mile away from Black Crow Port.
Yes, the police in the Blue Pearl Harbor Police Station, who knows why these guys didn't just stay in the Blue Pearl Harbor, but took a boat to join in the fun around Black Crow Harbor.
"If I hadn't been stabbed several times by the navy in the sewers and shot several times while escaping, the extraordinary power contained in my body would
I was exhausted during the battle with the navy, and I didn't recover for a while. The ship I was looking for was too broken. How could I be caught by these guys who were paid dead wages. "
Plisson shouted crazily in his heart.
"Hey, pirate, don't be so depressed just yet. Can you tell me about the current situation in Black Crow Port?"
The middle-aged policeman looked at the tied Pleasant with a proud expression on his face. He seemed not to realize that the pale-skinned young man in front of him was the infamous Black Crow in Norton.
"Do you believe me when I say they're all dead?"
"How is it possible? There are at least several hundred people in Black Crow Port. How many navy did the new governor ask for from the Duke's Palace of Ekaria?"
"The Black Crow Port itself, including all the pirate groups there, has a total of 931 people. Excluding the pirates who are temporarily out, there were almost 700 people still staying in the Black Crow Port before today. Of course, this number only seems relatively large. Decent, it is estimated that there are less than 400 people who can truly be called qualified pirates. The remaining ones are either the old, weak, sick or disabled, or poor fishermen recruited by the old snake and those who work hard to get a few mouthfuls of food. The hungry people who took the initiative to join the pirate camp, these people are sallow and skinny, they are not good at anything, they are the first to eat, and their overall combat effectiveness is almost the same as that of the old, weak, sick and disabled. As for the navy, I don’t know the specific number, but there are a total of them Two warships and five armed sailing ships arrived at Black Crow Port. The first group arrived, about 300 regular navy personnel, and another group came later, but I don’t know how many there are."
"You know quite well."
Nonsense, am I not clear about this? How about I become the pirate leader for you? I was also working in Black Crow Port, and even said that I opened this canteen with others. Could it be that the canteen was bombed and I still don’t remember how many people bombed it?
Pleasant complained in his heart, and at the same time he looked down upon the middle-aged policeman in front of him.
"You must be the police of Blue Pearl Harbor, why are you here on a boat?"
Pleasant leaned as far as possible on the chair and asked the question calmly, pretending not to care.
"Let's... examine the situation. The governor personally appointed by the Duke of Annecy did not directly enter the governor's palace. Instead, he took a detour and went directly to Black Crow Port with his army. As for our future immediate boss, Naturally we have to observe more.”
"Investigating the situation..."
Pleasant felt a little sad for no reason.
Even though he, the leader of Black Crow Port, has merit, he can be considered a high-level knight. This level may not be considered a big deal among the important provinces of Skyhawk, but when placed in Norton, which is located on the border of the empire, it is. It's enough to be considered a significant master.
But he was arrested by a group of ordinary policemen who were not extraordinary people. He also had a gun pointed at his head and was tied up here for questioning. And according to what the police said, they were not here to fight pirates, but just to observe the situation.
Damn you, why.
"You are just here to investigate the situation. Why are you arresting me? I am just passing by on a boat. Who did I provoke?"
Pleasant once again made an angry argument.
"Who told you to wear a blindfold and ride on a small boat with weapons and injuries all over your body? You look like a pirate who ran out of Black Crow Harbor."
Plissen said quietly: "...It is not advisable to discriminate against the blind."
"This is called discernment. You don't understand the wisdom of the police."
The middle-aged policeman smiled proudly.
"Ah."
Pleasant was quite speechless. He knew how bad Norton's police system was.
In the entire Norton, including the capital Blue Pearl Harbor, the Sky Eagle Empire's official transcendent force "World Tree" has not established a "Tree Root" branch here.
The so-called "roots" are a group of senior police officers composed of extraordinary people. They usually wear the title of inspector and are mainly responsible for handling cases in the extraordinary circle, as well as deterring and combating evil sects that may appear in the local area, and trying their best to stop them. Something about sacrifices to evil gods.
Among the more than 50 provinces in the Sky Eagle Empire, Norton is the only province that does not even have a "Tree Root" branch established in the capital where the governor is located. This shows how unfavorable George IV was to the land that once belonged to the Canglan Empire. You must know that almost every large city in Shivaland Province next to Norton has a branch of "Tree Roots". The capital is Aikali. Yagen is guarded by "Kane", one of the 12 branches of the "World Tree". In comparison, Norton is simply not too shabby.
As for the police departments distributed in various towns in Norton that specialize in ordinary cases, what are they like? Pleasant knows very well.
Different from those big cities in the north that have abundant security forces and the basic system of "World Tree", the police department in Blue Pearl Harbor, to put it nicely, they are the guards who manage order, and to put it worse, they are the security guards of the Norton nobles. , go to work every day just to get off work.
The investigation situation mentioned by this middle-aged policeman was probably based on the instructions of a local nobleman in Blue Pearl Harbor.
There is only one person in Plisson's mind who has this ability and is so idle.
An annoying and disgusting cub.
Pleasant pretended to be casual and asked: "Is it the acting governor, oh no, is it the order of the former acting governor, Count Macassius?"
The expression of the middle-aged policeman opposite changed slightly, "What do you mean?"
Pleasant shook his head quickly and replied: "It's not interesting."
"You'd better calm down." The police officer glanced at Pleasant viciously. "You are under arrest now."
"Don't be so cruel. You need to believe in the lawfulness of a first-class citizen." Plisson narrowed his eyes slightly and replied with a smile on his face.
Although the middle-aged police officer did not answer Pleasant's words, Pleasant had already read the information he wanted from the change in the other person's expression.
This so-called inspection situation has absolutely nothing to do with Count Macassius, whom Pleasant is familiar with.
In this case, things seem to become simpler.
The middle-aged police officer wanted to ridicule Pleasant, but at this moment, the room in the ship suddenly began to shake violently.
"Officer Balk, the ship seems to have hit a reef. Mr. Salter asked you to go with him to the bottom of the cabin to have a look."
The violent shaking continued for a while, until the door was pushed open and a sweet female voice came in.
"I understand, Tilisa, come here and keep an eye on this guy for me. I'll get down right away." The police officer named Balk replied to the policewoman outside the door, and then instantly stood up and walked out of the room.
