Chapter 107 This Denisoya is going to finish the ball no matter what
"...Let's not talk about that first."
Annan reached out and rubbed his stiff cheeks: "How do you think he did it?"
"I think he's a liar."
Isaac said bluntly: "Whether it is Flamel's surname, his face, or this name - and that mess of technology, I think they are all fake.
"This is more than a hundred years after my death. Even my ancestors a hundred years ago and I cannot look exactly the same. After all, it is impossible for our family to intermarry, even if the elf blood can play no more role.
Deep, this is completely outrageous.
"And the name 'Drest' means 'to eliminate its light'. Doesn't this mean fake and old-fashioned!
"It is even more impossible to transfer heat energy. If he stores heat energy in some kind of liquid, it is still possible... but the loss rate is definitely more than 12%. At this distance, 50% is considered lucky.
"Because in the final analysis, the difficulty of transferring heat energy is not to transfer it, but to keep the loss low. The transfer itself will cause losses, and if the pressure is to be reduced to about 10%, it means that it will hardly dissipate heat. This is not
It can't be done, but it is already at the level of a curse - just like an 'ice cube containing light'. To use a ritual to make a 'heat transmission cable' of this scale, who knows how much it would cost.
"He is definitely deceiving people. But I don't know at what point he is deceiving people, or if it is a scam from beginning to end... His purpose is to cause civil strife. This is not impossible."
"really."
Annan nodded and agreed.
He also felt that this person's purpose might be to cause civil strife - otherwise, why did it have to be thermal energy?
Of the two of them, one is a serious outsider, and the other is an "old immortal" who has not been born in a hundred years. They don't understand the current Danny Sawyer at all.
In order to prevent them from getting into trouble, Blackbird very thoughtfully explained to them Denisaw's current situation.
This is all public information and there is nothing to hide.
——After hearing the result, I realized that this is really quite scary.
As the number of merchant ships decreases, the pirates' territory gradually becomes fixed, and it is difficult to conquer the fortress due to the presence of artillery and spears... The main source of income for the pirates is actually the so-called "management fee".
For example, protection fees are collected from pubs, restaurants, hotels and other stores that "cannot escape the temple"; as well as one-time sales and multiple sales to casinos, gambling stalls, and the "talent resources" they earn from gambling stalls.
…
And these actually don't make much money.
Because at the end of the day, those who can afford similar services are still the same group of people.
Previously, the Principality of Winter had closed its treaty ports - this actually had a considerable impact on the United Kingdom.
Although Winter is far away from the United Kingdom, it is almost impossible for trade in this world to take the ocean voyage route because food is too perishable in the gray fog.
Ordinary caravans are even less likely to install steam engines on ships.
They can only follow the ocean current...choose a counter-clockwise direction, starting from Denisoa, going around the Maelstrom, passing through The Theocracy, Winter, Noah, and the Field Islands, and then back. They buy things one by one, and then go to the next place.
Sold.
And as soon as Ling Dong shut himself off like this, the United Kingdom immediately followed suit.
——Because trade around the Maelstrom is actually what the United Kingdom needs most. They live on the land that was blown to pieces, and there is a shortage of food, meat, cloth, wood, stone and other resources.
, relies heavily on the export of luxury goods and the import of daily necessities.
They can say they want something but don't have it.
That is, there are many ships, sailors, wizards and luxury goods.
Now that winter is so closed, Denisoya's caravan can only go to the southern port of the Theocracy and then immediately circle back from the south. If they want to go to Noah, they have to let Field's caravan go to the south of Noah.
, go back directly after the transaction is completed.
The economic situation has also become increasingly less optimistic.
And with such a piece of land, the area is relatively closed. There are only so many gamblers that can be deceived.
As the cheating gambling dogs went bankrupt one after another... these pirate gangs realized a problem.
Danny Sawyer's side is richer, so to speak. But like the Field Islands, those shabby places where 70% of the people have never left the island of their birth, even the newly "obtained" girl will not be visited.
, can only be sold to Denisaw.
And the pink industry on Danny Sawyer's side has been rolled up for this reason...
Now everyone is poor, but the younger brother cannot be dismissed at will. He has no enemies, but he still has to be maintained.
You can occupy new territory... Everyone has artillery, and it is unrealistic to seize other people's territory - they are on the shore, and this is in the sea. The consequences of being hit by a cannonball are different.
Therefore, in recent years, the entry of "management fees" has begun to decrease.
The pirates of the United Kingdom - especially the pirates of the Field Islands, more than 80% of their income are daily necessities whose prices have been maliciously raised.
Black fire, green fire, salt, smoke, and wine.
Compared with rice, flour, grains and oils, these are more expensive, easier to store, and will not really starve people to death. However, they are really necessary necessities of life, so they will maliciously raise the price to three or four times to sell them.
Three or four times is considered "relatively gentle".
The poorer the place, the higher the price pirates charge and the more goods they intercept.
It started out as a direct robbery.
When they made money, they began to use the money directly to buy things shipped from Denisoya - to avoid robbing too much and causing disaster.
Directly before docking, these goods will be priced at a premium of 20% to 30% and eaten directly by these "pirate merchants". Those merchants naturally know that something is wrong... but anyway, they have their own money and can go back safely.
Then leave him alone.
Then these pirates would sell these things three or four times to the people on the island.
When Blackbird said this, he was very angry and helpless.
He said they couldn't control it anyway.
Bronze-level extraordinary beings are completely unable to withstand concentrated fire from artillery and firearms.
He could see clearly that these pirates were not afraid of one or two extraordinary beings. They were not the mounted policemen or police detectives, but the nobles behind them.
Annan estimated that it was because of this humble attitude that the nobles felt that they could tighten the dog's collar a little more to prevent the dog from eating too much and accidentally becoming too fat.
But the problem now is that even the dogs are starving.
If they "tighten the collar", they would probably be counterattacked by the nervous pirates.
The premise of their fear of nobles is that all pirates only watch the fun.
But once these pirates gather...
They are entrenched in every port, with numerous artillery and more than ten warships.
If they really unite... plus the secret support of some "governors" of the Field Islands who have long disliked Danny Sawyer.
No matter how you look at it, this Danny Sawyer is going to be a complete loser.
"This Count Flamel's actions must be to trigger a war."
Annan whispered: "But do you think...his technique can actually be completed?"
"……what do you mean?"
"I even thought of at least three ways."
Annan said seriously: "The first type is curse energy."
Hearing this, Isaac's expression became serious: "That's true. If he really used the magic power... Regardless of the elven bloodline, the name, surname, and what he did would all make sense. .
"What about the other two?"
"The second option is that he stole the power of the Sky Wheel - the Sky Wheel is also used to transport it. Considering that there are already nobles over there in the winter digging the grave of the Sky Wheel driver, I think this is also possible.
"As for the third type..."
Annan narrowed his eyes slightly.
His intuition as a ritual master did think that this was impossible at first.
But he finally thought of a way.
——As long as the "heat cable" is compared to a "blood vessel" in the ceremony. In this case, the heat can be confused as "life force" and transported from Denisoa as the "heart" to the limbs.
However, the heart pumps blood to the limbs. Naturally, there is also blood returning from the limbs.
This is something that Isaac would never have thought of - it is a sense of déjà vu unique to Annan. When he sees the "artificial man", he will think of "the creation of the land".
Yes.
Annan was thinking, this person...
Could it be the artificial human left behind by Nicholas?
