Suo An thought for a moment and then replied: "Kalian usually only cooks for Sean. We usually only eat dry food and bread on the ship. How is his cooking skills... I can't say this. , but I have eaten the Duran pie and Gas rolls he made once, and they tasted pretty good."
Duran Pie….
Plisson felt a little off-putting when he heard the name, so he added coriander to the filling of the pie. He didn't know which genius invented it.
"Can you make brioche buns and pan-fried fish steaks?" Plisson asked Karian.
"certainly."
"Very good, you will be promoted to the second officer of the Ghost Sheep today."
"Second mate? Captain, this is not appropriate. I only know how to cook and have no experience in sailing or combat."
Pleasant glanced at the other pirates around him, including himself. None of them had thighs as thick as Kallian's arms. Even if he had no combat experience, he was definitely better than the group of trainees around him. Those who have not even entered the apprenticeship stage are better.
"It's just a casual job. After all, you seem more reliable than others. Your main job is still the job of a chef." Plisson explained.
"That's good, that's good." Kalyan nodded.
"By the way, I have something to give you." Plisson stretched out his hand and took out the enchanted long knife used by Sean from the core space. "This knife is for you. I believe you Won’t let me down.”
Kalian saw this enchanted weapon belonging to the original captain and immediately shook his head, "Captain, I am just a chef, how could you give me such a precious enchanted weapon? This knife... You’d better give it to someone else.”
"Your chef doesn't cut vegetables anymore, right? Just take it if I tell you to. The enchanted weapon should be sharper than an ordinary knife no matter what. Just use it to deal with those difficult-to-cut ingredients."
"Is that so...thank you, Captain." Kalian reached out and grasped the enchanted weapon that Plisson handed him, and waved it vigorously into the air, "It is indeed sharp enough."
Pleasant watched Kalyan put away his weapon, nodded with satisfaction, and then he turned his attention to the many pirates in front of him.
"Everyone, today is a new beginning for you and me, and I am also going to give you a meeting gift." Plisson smiled and raised his hand slightly, "Everyone on the Ghost Sheep Each crew member, regardless of their position, will receive a Canglan gold coin worth 100 Taura. This is my gift to you. I hope you will not disappoint me in the days to come."
All the sailors on the deck below immediately cheered up when they heard these words. A Canglan gold coin worth 100 Dowler may not be much to those high-ranking nobles and extraordinary people, but to the people living in Norton For the low-level desperadoes, it is definitely not a small number.
Norton is different from the golden sea located in the center of the West Sea. Although it is called the hometown of pirates, there are not many pirates who can really be called the table. The vast majority of pirates are just poor people forced by life. If If everyone has enough to eat, who will do this job of hanging their heads on their belts?
Twenty-five years ago, Tianying and Canglan fought. The Imperial Navy led by Rogge, the Grand Duke of the North, forcibly tore off a sea area that originally belonged to Canglan from the junction of the West Sea and the North Sea. This was the predecessor of Norton.
After many years of hard work, Norton's first governor, Earl Ducalin, successfully managed the sea area left over after the war to a certain extent and lifted this place out of poverty.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The elderly Count Ducaline was unable to continue serving as governor due to illness, so the Archduke of Belvine sent another young nobleman to take over the duties of Count Ducaline.
This young nobleman was Norton's previous governor, Earl Othelemon.
This Earl is quite capable. He has perfectly inherited the legacy of Earl Ducalin and made this sea area that was in need of development very prosperous.
The people live and work in peace and contentment, and trade often occurs. It stands to reason that such a prosperous and wealthy situation should continue for a long time, but everything changed that night ten years ago.
Inriges, the bustling capital of Norton, turned into a deserted ghost town overnight. Some buildings in the city were destroyed, and hundreds of thousands of people were missing.
To make matters worse, that day happened to be the 80th birthday of the first governor, Count Ducaline. This respected old nobleman was once the teacher of the second governor, Oselemon. Count Oselemon held a ceremony for his teacher. A grand dinner was held, and a large number of Norton officials and local nobles were invited.
There is no doubt that these people have all lost their whereabouts and disappeared into Inriges inexplicably.
The Duke of Annecy sent a large number of troops to investigate the matter, but to no avail.
I heard that this matter even alarmed George IV and Grand Duke Rogge, but for some reason, the matter ended up being nothing.
The consequences of this incident were undoubtedly very serious. Hundreds of thousands of people disappeared inexplicably and their lives were uncertain. Norton officials and local nobles were almost completely wiped out. The administrative order was in chaos.
The chaos in Norton gave the great nobles in other provinces an opportunity. Taking advantage of the lack of people in Norton, they used their power to promote some greedy businessmen and local gang leaders to important positions and granted them corresponding titles. title.
This includes the disgusting Norton Twin Walls and the two ship wall twins, Ikarnad and Macacius.
These promoted people usually return huge sums of money to these great nobles, and serve as pawns and pawns for the expansion of their power.
These new nobles and officials without any background do not know how to carry out long-term management and development. They will only blindly exploit the poor and turn the originally prosperous place into a breeding ground for corruption and greed.
George IV had some prejudice against this sea area that originally belonged to Canglan. Now seeing the chaotic situation in Norton, he actually chose to let the great nobles of the empire compete for power here, with a completely indifferent attitude.
Due to Norton's lack of control and remoteness, pirates, cultists, and even rebels from the Northern Canglan have poured in, making Norton's already chaotic situation even more chaotic.
Pleasant entered Norton 8 years ago, which happened to be the time when this sea area was at its most chaotic. He had a deep understanding of the deepest evils in this place. They were not the so-called pirates, nor were they often sent by Beicang Lan. The people who came to cause trouble were the nobles, the nobles who lived in their own mansions.
This is the source of suffering and disaster. The great nobles of the empire completely ignore the feelings of the people. This emerging province of the empire has become a battlefield for power and profit.
Now, perhaps because it was too chaotic down there, those idiots at the top of the empire finally sent someone who was reasonably useful.
But it is still difficult to completely remove the rotten roots in this sea area.
