Chapter 153: The Den of Thieves
Golden Island, a chaotic and crazy place for Fuying.
No one remembers the original name of the island. Since the powerful pirate family built the castle here, they have been renamed to Golden Island together with the island, showing that the pirate family is dominant in the cis. The other lords of the cis have gritted their teeth to agree.
At a tavern on the dock, Grey sat on a table in a tavern dress wearing dirty clothes. Few pirates were clean, but they were too clean and conspicuous.
He held the wine glass and pretended to be drinking, and by the way he listened to the news in the bar.
A dozen brothers divided into several waves and successfully penetrated the pirates. There were only Kwein and Merida around him for the time being. The reason why these two guys were kept was really worried about them.
There is no need to be too much of Kwein. It turns out that the vicious werewolf pirates are very familiar with this place. If they take advantage of a gap and leak the news to the so-called golden family, it will be a big trouble. I believe the other party doesn't mind making a fortune.
Another thing is not a worry-free thing. When she saw the pirates, she wanted to pick up the bow and arrow to shoot, as if she had a life-and-death revenge with them. Last time she encountered the pirate ship, she was not satisfied after shooting a few arrows. She was the first to jump over during the battle on the sidelines. The speed was faster than Gray. If she didn't look at it, she would have trouble coming to the door sooner or later.
"Sir, this is a list of items. You see what you need, we will prepare immediately." A waiter in the tavern came over with a list and smiled and handed it to Gray.
This tavern is part of the Golden Family's industry. Basically, any materials you need can be brought up here, or you can sell your own goods to them.
Of course, there are also markets where pirates can pay rent and then put their goods in the store for sale.
However, Gray obviously did not intend to bother himself. He could go and have a look in a while, but it would be better to buy supplies here. The other party has huge resources and basically everything can meet the needs. Then he will deliver the goods to the door and trade at the dock.
"Okay." Gray took the list, which detailed the most commonly used supplies that pirates need the most, food, wine, fruits, vegetable stompings, etc.
At the first glance at the list, what Gray thought of was how many gold coins the Golden Family had saved. At this speed of robbing money, he should have obtained a lot of treasures, right?
"We still have some food, so we can buy the amount for half a month this time. Twenty barrels of wine are needed. One bucket of wine is enough for them. So many people drink one bucket, and they will not have to drink it, and they will not affect their work. We buy fruits and vegetables that are resistant to storage, and there are meat. There is no need to buy too much fresh meat, so buy a little more jerky." Gray brushed down what he needed on a piece of paper.
"Sir, the items you purchased are 52 gold coins in total. Do you think there is any problem?"
"Okay, the things are delivered to the dock, and you will be checked out then?" Gray tried his best to resist the urge to suck. In his kingdom, a sheep only costs a few silver coins. The price of these things has increased several times, which is no different from robbing money.
"Yes, please rest assured. The most important thing in our business is reputation." The waiter was very confident and didn't even ask for the deposit. No one dared to take the gold family's things for nothing. The money had to be given.
If you don't give it, the golden family will have another more fortune. If you don't want a fortune, you will have another boat. Anyway, you can't escape.
"You'll send it to the dock in the next two hours. By the way, I still have a group of slaves, do you want it?"
"Of course, we are willing to collect all goods you are willing to sell, no matter what goods you are willing to sell, as long as they exist, the Golden Family will not refuse."
After buying a batch of things, Gray waved her hand, and the soldiers dressed in pirates gathered behind him, walked to the market together, and reported to Gray what they found out.
These include the more famous pirates, the current situation of the island's power, and the information about the Golden Family that Grey values the most.
According to the news they heard, the pirate fleet with three large ships led by five werewolfs is also a relatively famous group of pirates, and can vaguely rank in the top ten.
"As for this, these pirates are not very strong?" Gray glanced at Kwyn and said softly.
"The captain can vaguely enter the top ten, but in fact it is about 11 or 2. Each of the top ten pirate fleets has at least three ships, with a crew of nearly one thousand, and they have powerful figures in charge." Kwein explained: "But when these people join forces, they are not opponents of the Golden Family. Moreover, there are also several pirates in the top ten that were supported by the Golden Family."
This is the strategy of the bear. Support their pirates among the pirates. In this way, these pirates will not be able to unite again, because once they join forces, who knows which pirate is a traitor? Then you will have a counterattack and everything will be done.
Gray touched his chin, "That's interesting."
If every pirate is not weaker than a werewolf pirate, then the ten pirates combined will only allow Gray himself to retreat temporarily, and the human sea tactics can kill him alive.
The strength of the golden family that can compete with these pirates is conceivable, and the strength of those pirates CNOOC is not obvious. Gray temporarily gave up his plan to rob.
Most of the farmed islands are slaves, a small number are subordinates of the Golden Family, and even some pirates who do not want to work after retirement. Many of these descendants will join the Golden Family again to replenish fresh blood.
So they forbidden people to rob the island.
In addition, there are several indigenous tribes on the island, but that was the past, and now they have become lords, with strong armed forces, and have unclear relationships with some pirates.
Walking to a dirty and messy market street, looking at the shops that were obviously lacking in management around, Gray walked in to take a look at it at first, but later he was too lazy to look at it because there was basically nothing good inside and it was very chaotic.
Most of the time he basically glanced and walked over directly. Pirates were really not good at managing. After this section, they came to the front of them, and the shops set up by some town lords and village lords, which looked much better than the pirate's storefront.
But the things inside are much richer than those of pirates. Gray walked around and slowly selected a batch of materials. These may be useful in the future, so he didn't look at the others. His Majesty the King didn't need those ordinary things.
From this simple market, you can see the huge castle of the Golden Family in front. The tall castle is located by the sea, with a pier located below, and there are more than a dozen large ships parked.
The first feeling this castle gives Gray is that it is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is all ranked behind the defense attribute for all other needs, and looks like a military fortress.
The castle construction style is also rough, and the various techniques are very bad. It is like it is built randomly. It is very simple. If you look closer, you can see many stones protruding from the wall, as if they are about to collapse in the next second. However, this does not affect its easy defense and difficult attack characteristics.
"It looks like a pirate style." Grey said. He had seen the pirate style. The boat he lived in was a mess, and it seemed normal for the castle to be like this.
"Captain, let's go back." Kwein seemed quite afraid of the Golden Family.
"No hurry, I've come here. It's our role model for the Golden Family to make pirates like this. It's worth learning. Maybe this is what we will look like in the future." Gray waved his hand, walked closer and closer, and looked around the castle.
A tall man rode a big horse, followed by a group of carriages pulling supplies to the castle gate. He seemed to hear Gray's words and looked at them in surprise: "Haha, are pirates so arrogant nowadays? I still want to become pirates like the Golden Family. Go back and dream, so that your dream may be realized soon."
