Chapter 56
Chapter 56 – Irium War
“Go to the great route? Why?” Du Hang raised his eyebrows, feeling strange about this invitation.
“There is something I want you to help with.” Burt explained, “I just received the news too… Do you know an island called Irem?”
“Do you think I know?”
“…Forget it, I’ll go and talk about it.” Bert was silent for a few seconds, and then said helplessly.
Du Hang greeted Roger and the others, and stopped the boat.
After a while, Bert’s boat approached. He really didn’t say that before. There were really two big holes on the boat that were damaged by the rocks blown off the island. The other part is in the middle of the hull, which is relatively low and may be flooded at any time. Burt sent someone to fill it up with wooden boards, but it seems that it will not be used without major repairs.
Bert jumped off the side of the boat and landed lightly on the deck of the boat.
Du Hang sat on the side of the boat with his legs crossed and smoked, while Roger stood at the bow with his arms folded, looking at him together.
Bert glanced at Du Hang blankly, and then said to Roger: “It’s the first meeting, the captain of the Roger Pirates. I’m Bert, the captain of the Night Shadow Pirates.”
“Oh! I know you! Du Hang told me that!” Roger grinned grinningly, without any sense of tension. Bert would definitely find it strange if he met such a person, but when he thought that he was Du Hang The captain of the ship is no wonder.
When Bert arrived on the Roger Pirates ship, the first person to speak must be Roger. This is also a rule. After greeting Roger, he went directly to Du Hang, and said straight to the point: “I just received a An employment application, the content is to intervene in the national war, if you don’t mind, I would like to invite you to go with me, and then the remuneration can be split between 30 and 70.”
“Employment application?” Du Hang didn’t reply him, but he became interested in a word in his words, “Aren’t you one of the ‘six sides’ of pirates? How can anyone still hire you?”
“This is not contradictory. Pirates also have to eat, especially the pirate group with a large crew.” Bert said lightly, “The other ‘six sides’ are indeed like you said, they don’t like to accept commissions. I make a living by plundering, but for a pirate like me who is not good at direct combat, it is normal to choose to accept some high-priced commissions, and in the black market, you can see many pirates like me.”
“Oh…” Du Hang nodded thoughtfully. When he was watching Pirates before, he had indeed heard of the word black market. “This sentence, but this is the first time I have really come into contact with this word.
Under Bert’s gaze, Du Hang exhaled smoke, showing a subtle expression: “I feel that you really lower the overall force of ‘Six Faces’, sometimes I really don’t know how you mix ‘Six Faces’ This location…”
“If you live enough, you can ask me for help.” Burt said coldly.
“Just kidding, just kidding, don’t pay attention.” Du Hang waved his hand and said, “Is there any specific information? I don’t want to be confused and just pass by.”
“Of course there is information, and the information entrusted by the black market is generally very complete.” Although Burt was unhappy with Du Hang’s change of topic, he also explained it well.
“Irem, the country that is at war this time…is a very strange island. Although it is inside the great route, it has formed a small ‘windless belt’ by itself.”
“Form a windless zone by yourself?” Du Hang repeated this sentence.
He is no stranger to the word calm zone. One of the most important reasons why the great airway is magical is that it is located in two “windless belts”. The two spines… In the windless zone, there is no wind, and the atmosphere seems to be still, so it can be said that sailboats can hardly move an inch. The most terrifying thing is that most of the most terrifying sea beasts on the great route live in the windless zone. belt.
I didn’t expect that such a landscape would occasionally appear inside the Great Airway. It is indeed the most magical place on this planet.
“Well, that island is really magical. With that island as the center, it has a radius of more than ten nautical miles. There has never been any wind, so the traffic is very inconvenient. As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer trading ships going to the island. The economy has also become depressed.”
“Because of this, a sect gradually formed on the island called the Sect of the Storm God. They believe that there is a God of Storms in this sea, and they think that the God of Storms likes to see killing and blood, so they keep killing. Obtaining the attention of the God of Storms, causing the wind to blow again on the sea, these fanatics have grown rapidly in a short period of time.”
Hearing this, Du Hang snorted, “Okay, these people have big brains, but if according to what you said, that country is already in depression, how could there be a war? Nuansi fights, you can only fight if you have money and food.”
“That’s the problem. If it’s really depressed there, who cares if it’s hit or not? The key is that half a year ago, an ore vein was accidentally discovered on the island. With the temptation of ore, the population of the island grew explosively. , with the increase of the population, the conflict between the Storm God Cult and the outsiders finally reached the point of irreconcilability, which led to the subsequent war. At the beginning, the battle was only maintained within the range of ordinary people. Intense, finally began to appear physical masters and fruit ability, and this is the reward notice of the black market.”
“So it’s like this… Minerals, it’s understandable. If nothing else happens, the reward offered by the black market this time has something to do with the world government. As long as the situation on the island is stable, it’s time for them to intervene strongly.” Du Hang took down the cigarette stick and said.
“I’m afraid so.” Burt also agreed, “Then what do you mean?”
Rayleigh just came over, and after hearing Bert’s words, he looked at Du Hang: “There is no need to go, we are not short of money now, and it always feels strange for pirates to intervene in wars between countries.”
Du Hang stroked his chin, and after pondering for a while, he showed a meaningful smile: “Success, I will go with you, but the reward will be 50-50.”
“Qisan is already the limit. The black market only gives you so much money. If you share half of it, I might as well not go.”
“Then **** it, let’s each take a step back.” Du Hang laughed.
Bert looked at Du Hang with a subtle expression, and after a while, he nodded: “Yes, that’s it.”
After negotiating the price, Du Hang looked at Roger and Lei Li: “I’m going to go there. What about you? If you are interested, you can go and have a look together. If you are not interested, I can come back to you when I am done.”
“Of course I’m fine! I’m the one to take risks!” Roger laughed.
“Then I’ll go too. I always feel that it’s dangerous to let the two of you go alone, and there will be some big trouble.” Lei Li said helplessly.
Du Hang snorted at Lei Li’s slander, and refused to comment. He walked to Miloli and squatted down.
“Miss, do you want to go together? Going out this time may be dangerous. If you are worried, I can find you a small island in the East China Sea to settle down. I will come back to pick you up after the fight.”
Mi Luoli smiled slightly, showing a peaceful and reassuring expression, “I want to follow Lord Du Hang.”
“Okay, since you said so, then I will definitely protect you.” Du Hang smiled and touched the little Lolita’s head, making his own promise.
“Since we all agree, shall we start now?” Bert asked.
“No rush.” Du Hang shook his head, “I haven’t pulled my new crew members aboard yet.”
