In the southern part of the Eagle's Beak Peninsula, at Balfour Port where the county seat is located, two large merchant ships slowly sailed into the port. The appearance of these two merchant ships caused a sensation behind the port.
It is really rare for a merchant ship to fly a port flag. It is normal to fly the Oyster Bay flag. However, the two ships actually fly the Codor Port flag and the Golden Anchor flag. Aren't these ports controlled by nobles?
How long has it been since the people of Port Belfort have seen ships from Port Côte d'Or and Port Golden Anchor?
Oyster Bay Port and Codor Port are both military ports. So, which ship went to Codor Port first or Oyster Bay Port first?
After seeing the port flag of the hostile force, how dare the second military port grant entry permission to two ships?
The strength of these two ships was terrifying. The captains and people in the port were asking about which shipping company was so powerful.
When the Volcano and the Giant docked, everyone also learned the key information.
It turns out that it was a shipping company founded by the former big pirates Forge and Green Skull. This can explain why they were able to come and go as they pleased when they were big pirates. Now that they are a shipping company, they can come and go as they please.
Rudolph came to Mackenzie: "McKenzie, please contact the Chamber of Commerce here to see if you can purchase some goods at a low price, fill up the Titan, and walk around empty. I always feel that I am losing money."
In addition to being the first mate of the Volcano, Mackenzie is also the manager of the maritime trading company. He replied: "Okay, Captain. But, aren't we going to transport the ashes of the fallen soldiers of the Royal Marines? We don't need to keep them."
Is there enough space?”
"It's not really necessary. Judging from the constipation-like look on the Constitution Army staff officer's face, the Constitution Army can't take out many ashes, so two cabins are more than enough."
"Understood, Captain."
Rudolf added:
"By the way, Mackenzie, set up an apostle development fund within the company.
The company will bear the resources needed for company employees to be promoted to level 5 apostles. Those who apply for this fund will have half of their salary deducted from their salary until the part paid by the company is paid off.
This time you are purchasing supplies at Port Belfort. You can choose what you need for promotion. If you can't see it on the market, you can go to the Black Gold Institute. I will go to the Black Gold Institute in the evening and tell them in advance."
The Furnace Pirates, no, the habit has not changed yet. Now it should be called the Volcano Shipping Company. With the promotion of Rudolph and Cooper, the resources they can provide have also increased a lot. For example, Rudolph now goes to the Black Gold Institute to speak out.
It's bigger, and the crew's level should also be upgraded.
"Okay! Captain!"
Mackenzie thinks that Captain Furnace is awesome. According to Captain Furnace, the Black Gold Institute should also give Captain Furnace some face.
Rudolf activated the Black Gold Institute chess piece that Celine left for him. No matter whether today is the Black Gold Institute's trading day or not, the Black Gold Institute will open the door for Rudolph, and Celine will also open the small door for Rudolph.
Soon, the chess piece got a response, and Rudolph walked in the direction of the chess piece.
Just walking out of the pier, Rudolf noticed that there were a lot of people begging around. There were many beggars on the roadside. They were in groups, leaning dejectedly on the corner, which made Rudolf very confused.
It shouldn’t be. Belfort is a prosperous city and it’s not difficult to find a job. Why are there so many beggars here?
Soon, Rudolf noticed the disabilities on these beggars. This was not a disability caused by misfortune, but a disability caused by self-mutilation.
Believers of pain? Why are there so many believers of pain?
Rudolph looked around and immediately found the key information. In front of a notice board, several captains were recruiting crew members.
"Smuggling in the Southern Continent is particularly rampant tonight! The navy is not strong enough. Now it is recruiting crew members temporarily to combat smuggling!"
As soon as they heard that it was a crackdown on smuggling, people around the signboard rushed forward, and they were all very excited.
Stowaway in the Southern Continent? Rudolf suddenly remembered the warning of the Pillars of Creation. The Evil God Cult had really given up on using war to open the door to the Northern Continent, and instead used stowaway believers to slowly infiltrate and look for other opportunities.
After leaving the port, Rudolf entered the city of Belfort. He found many homeless believers deep in the streets and around the trash cans.
Most believers have obvious characteristics, such as the bald heads of white devil believers, the self-mutilation of painful believers, etc. The people who gather with these people are all believers of other evil gods.
These believers are very troublesome, and we cannot kill them all. After civilization develops to a certain level, no one will dare to use this method.
Rudolf came to the Black Gold Institute, and Celine was waiting outside early.
"You are finally here, Mr. Furnace."
"Oh, I went to the sea area of the United States of Cantal for promotion some time ago. It took me some time."
Celine didn't know what to say. It seemed that in Mr. Furnace's place, promotion was just a trivial matter that could be accomplished just by going out.
The black gold house in Belfort City is located in a luxury hotel. Celine took Rudolph directly to the luxury suite on the top floor.
After Rudolf took a comfortable bath here, he lay on the soft sofa and enjoyed the cold breeze in the suite.
It is very uncomfortable to sail on the sea for a long time, but life on the shore is more comfortable. At least you don't have to watch the boring waves and be crowded in a cabin that is not spacious.
Celine took out a map and spread it out in front of Rudolph.
This is a map of wilderness forces, on which Rudolph saw the boundaries of the werewolf tribe, the location of the Vampire Castle, etc. Rudolph told Celine before leaving that he needed a map of the distribution of wilderness forces.
"Very good, Celine, the intelligence of the Black Gold Institute is very good, and you can all know the situation deep in the wilderness."
After paying the price of the map, Rudolf added: "In the next few days, I will ask my crew to participate in the transaction at the Black Gold Exchange. I hope you can help collect the items they need for promotion. My shipping trading company is very
If you have money, the money paid by the Golden Anchor family alone can cover the promotion needs of the crew this time."
"Okay, Mr. Furnace, I will instruct the trading host here."
"One more thing, Celine, why did I see so many believers in Belfort City? Did something happen at sea?"
Speaking of believers, Celine also had a look of disgust on her face:
"Mr. Furnace, the Ancient Sea Wizards' Guild has completely surrendered to the Evil God's Cult. I heard that the Evil God's Church will provide one of the relics that the seventh-level wizard Belat needs for promotion.
Now the Martini Group has become a transit point for the Evil Cult. The Evil Cult has settled a large number of believers on the Martini Islands, and then organized these believers to sneak here.
The number of those believers is endless, and countless boats row to the shore every day.
More importantly, people from the evil cult bribed some congressmen. Those congressmen said that they could use smuggled believers to make up for the labor gap, and that the believers could be used as cheap labor.
I heard that the two sides in the parliament were about to have a falling out. The members who wanted to strictly prevent smuggled believers and the members who wanted to accept smuggled believers were arguing. One side called the other party short-sighted, and the other side called the other party inhumane. This incident has become the biggest incident in Belfort City.
trouble."
"Indeed, if you see a stowaway boat, you can't just sink it. After all, it means a boatload of lives."
The Ancient Sea Wizards' Association defected to the Evil God Cult because of a relic that Bellat urgently needed. The Martini Islands are only 50 nautical miles away, becoming a springboard for believers to sneak across.
After Mr. Furnace thought for a while and his expression became less serious, Celine came forward.
"Mr. Furnace, your chess pieces gave me a hint and I have washed them in advance."
