The Nassau Castle conference room is located underground. It’s not that the pirates didn’t want it to be taller, but Nassau has been invaded twice. The ports, towns and plantations were burned to the ground, and the castle was the main target of naval attacks; pirates and pirates

The Sao residents learned their lesson and no longer used it to store treasures.

Now Nassau is just a haven and transit station. Hidden islands and ancient jungles are more suitable for hiding treasures. However, Nassau Castle is still the center and focus of Nassau's defense, as is a conference hall used to discuss battles and division of spoils.

If necessary, the underground becomes the most suitable place: hidden, quiet, closed, and maybe a secret passage leading to the outside...

Passing through the rusty gates, although the entire corridor is old, there is no rotten or fishy smell, and there is no accumulation of debris in the walkway, which looks particularly tidy; Crowe led the three people from the side near the sea.

There is a room where weapons are stored. After walking down about two floors along the spiral stone steps, I can no longer feel the humidity and strong smell of gunpowder in the air.

"We're here!" Crowe casually pushed open the inconspicuous wooden door on the left side of the corridor. He turned back and warned James: "Many Nassau people don't like pirates; after all, because of our past madness, Nassau has become

We have encountered retaliation from the navy several times and were razed to the ground in wars. No one wants to experience it again!"

Then he looked at Shen Chen again, and the glint in his eyes was more like a silent reminder: "You should be careful with your words and actions after entering, and try not to provoke conflicts between the two parties. Just follow my eyes and act!"

Shen Chen nodded. His reputation as a pirate was good, but it had no effect here. Instead of acting rashly, it was better to wait and see first.

After speaking, Crowe pushed the small door fiercely, telling the others his arrival and his unhappy mood with a loud noise.

Shen Chen followed James and walked in. He was half a body behind and hidden in the shadow behind James. In this way, he would be considered a follower and no one would notice.

The conference room was probably converted into a material warehouse. Some potato bags and tar could still be seen. On the ground around Shen Chen, there were also traces of heavy wine barrels being dragged.

The room seemed a little dark, even though there were oil lamps covered with translucent glass hanging on the walls, and there was an extra row of candles around it. The interlaced dark yellow candlelight made everyone's shadows grow long.

The members of the Nassau Council gathered around a square table. They were standing or sitting, but none of them looked at Shen Chen and the other three with friendly eyes. Some even showed disgust and hatred.

What is worth pondering is that Shen Chen activated the demon hunter's perception and carefully observed everyone in the venue; at such a close distance, he could see the eyes of some old guys flickering and their hands slowly moving on the table.

, seemed to want to put them down, but quickly came together again; their eyes were fixed on Crowe, and they glanced at Shen Chen and the others from time to time. Although they looked angry, they were more irritable.

Judging from the clothes of the meeting participants, most of them are retired old sailors. Maybe the quality of their "retirement life" is not low, and the clothing materials are not bad, but the open collars and cuffs are stained and look a little bit...

They were no longer starched; but the scimitars they carried and the muskets polished to a shining light all showed their former identities.

The other group were merchants and planters in silk, trying to pass themselves off as Europeans, but even the thick powder on their faces could not hide their tanned skin, highlighted by their white wigs; At least it shows that under the leadership of Crowe, this group of businessmen made a fortune in Nassau. If there is not enough money, who would care so much about their own image?

Crow's footsteps were a little heavy, and when the stone tiles were stepped on, there was a slight cracking and clicking sound. Of course, this sound was hidden in the noisy quarrel. Apart from Shen Chen, only Sachi, who was staring at Crow, paid attention. At this point.

Crow slowly walked to the front of the square table. He lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something. The next moment, he suddenly pulled out the long sword hanging from his waist and thrust it into the square table. The blade almost completely penetrated the table. , the remaining force caused the tip of the sword to tremble under the table. The sound of trembling metal immediately stopped the discussion around him.

"Huh..." The entire conference room was filled with the sound of held breaths for an instant. Crowe's prestige was enough to overwhelm everyone in the venue!

When the surroundings became quiet, Crowe raised his head and said: "This meeting is held to continue the unfinished topic last time. We are at war or at peace with the pirates!"

The tense atmosphere was instantly relieved, and many people breathed a long sigh of relief. Crowe's actions just now were really terrifying, and they almost recalled the time when Crowe dealt with pirate hunters, hanging them on wooden frames and severing their legs. He made a small opening and then lowered half of his body into the sea water. He jokingly called it shark fishing!

But now Crowe has returned to the friendly demeanor of the Speaker, and immediately talked in confusion: "Of course we have to fight! We have lost a lot of property, and if we cannot show our strength, they will come back!"

"We can't fight! If all the pirates are angered, even if we defend the castle, there is no possibility of victory. Don't forget that Nassau was once a scorched earth!"

"Didn't you say that there are messengers from the pirates coming? Why don't we ask them to come up and talk about their conditions?"

In the discussion, everyone seemed to be avoiding the angry Crow just now.

Shen Chen counted the expressions of everyone present, ranging from fearful to relaxed. The psychology of untrained pirates and Nassau people, no matter how experienced sailors and merchants they are, will still be revealed in the subtleties of their expressions; Shen Chen Although he has never studied psychology systematically, the demon hunter's vertical pupils can help him capture everything!

Crowe listened to everyone's controversy. The merchants who suffered heavy losses during the pirates' first attack have now become the main militant faction; the sailors who were supposed to be more vicious have instead become conservative.

He suddenly laughed, took half a step back, pushed James Kidd forward with his other hand, and introduced pleasantly: "This is the envoy sent by the pirates to negotiate, and also my old captain, William Kidd. De’s child, I can prove his identity!”

"William Kidd, he actually still has descendants alive!"

The hall suddenly became noisy. They were extremely shocked by the identity of William Kidd's child. Several sailors almost shouted out, but their mouths were covered by their quick-eyed companions.

"Why haven't we heard of this person for so many years! Why did he appear at this time?" Some pirates also expressed doubts.

"At least, if he is really William's child, then his identity can indeed represent a pirate! But..." The old pirate who said this couldn't help but look at the corner of his eyes to the right of James Kidd.

Crowe Bertou asked: "That's his captain. Will he be selfish? What should we do?"

"Don't worry, William has been dead for so long. Although there was kindness between them, there has been no interest for a long time. Otherwise, Crowe would not have abandoned William in the first place! What's more, most of Crowe's wealth is in Nassau, so he will definitely

Act impartially!"

This old pirate was also active in the William era. Not only did he know what Crowe did at that time, he also knew that many properties in Nassau are now under Crowe's name. No one here cared more about the port of Nassau than him!

"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me!" Crow waited for a while, waiting for others to digest the news about James Crow's identity, and let this shocking news impact their psychology, and it quickly fermented in the changes in emotions.

"I have a very interesting news and discovery that I want to share with you! The son of the pirate king and the messenger of the pirates, when he entered Nassau and went to the castle, he was trapped by the enemy.

But it’s not us or the pirates! Who do you think it could be?”

The next moment, Crowe suddenly clenched his fists with both hands and slammed the hammer on the table. His eyes were like a lion king patrolling his territory, looking around at everyone present.

His voice was filled with suspicion and anger. It was not loud, but the voice echoing in the conference room and the tone as cold as a glacier were horrifying: "So I know there must be a traitor here, and he even helps the scum of the navy.
