V2.Chapter 52

(Adjust your state, quit smoking, get up early today and feel in good spirits. &{}..{}Two updates today.)

------------------------------------

The room was a little stuffy.

Sauron stood up after looking at the nautical chart for a while, then opened the window and blew a cold wind.

Finding a suitable development point is not an easy task, because many large guilds with a scale of tens of thousands of people failed in order to expand overseas. These are all professionals, and because of the reason that they reincarnated in the Styx after three deaths, they are less afraid of death than the aborigines in the plot, but even so, there are many failures.

You can imagine how difficult it is to develop overseas!

The difficulty of this is only one of them, because Sauron not only wants to expand overseas, but also takes this opportunity to grow to cope with the arrival of the catastrophe of the saints. Therefore, the geographical location he wants to choose is even more special, not only to deliberately avoid the large number of indigenous people, but also to avoid the influence of the Amazons. Otherwise, neither of these two powerful forces will allow him to rise, even if he has the identity of the three major pirate kings, it may not be useful, because it is impossible for pirates to defeat the army on land.

The cold wind blew for a while.

Sauron beckoned and ordered, and a maid came in with a basin of clean water. He washed his face and moved a bit, and then he continued to observe the nautical chart, and established the location of the town port in his memory that successfully resisted the attack of the natives. draw out. These places all have innate advantages, and one or two of them have mineral advantages. Although Sauron had not been active overseas for a long time, he was still quite impressed by the location memory of the successful establishment of town power at that time.

"Here!...here!...and here!..."

Sauron used a quill to scribble and make corrections. Seven or eight locations have been marked on the nautical chart. Basically, they are all on the coastline, and many locations are relatively remote. Don't underestimate the nautical chart in his hand, the value of this thing is actually quite amazing. There is no satellite positioning in this world, and the nautical charts are all drawn by manual exploration bit by bit. Perhaps for Sauron, one of the new pirate kings, this nautical chart is just a matter of order, but for others, especially those merchants who run the sea, this nautical chart is Valuable!

The topography of the Gulf Islands and various safe routes are drawn without the above.

At the same time, it also records the exploration of deep sea areas by pirates for hundreds of years, as well as the distribution of dangerous creatures in the nearby waters, and records the activity area of ​​a small number of marine intelligent creatures.

It can be said that this nautical chart, even if it is 5,000 Kindlers, some merchants are willing to buy it!

Sauron naturally would not sell it.

Information in this age is an astonishing wealth. He wants to dominate the interests of the overseas archipelago, so how can he let other people get involved and explore. Currently the entire South Coast overseas trade is with the Amazon region, and they deal with the Amazon women, so their profits are only about three times as large. However, if you can trade with the indigenous people, the profit of the transaction can reach five times or even more than ten times, and some simple gadgets may be exchanged for gold from the indigenous people.

Dangdang block!

There was a slight knock on the door, and the people outside seemed to be cautious, knowing that Sauron was thinking about something important, and was a little afraid of interrupting his thoughts.

"Come in."

Sauron put down the quill. He turned around and looked at it and said, "How are things going?"

The person who entered the door was a shrewd man with a scar on his face, a scar on the side of his face, a scar on his forehead, and a scar on his chin. Just by looking at it, I feel that this guy is very fierce and has a lot of combat experience. His nickname is 'Scarface', he participated in the battle of Sauron to kill the swamp king, and he was also the leader of the pirates who was promoted later. The subordinates controlled a large ship and two small boats, and recruited about seventy or eighty subordinates.

Sauron is expanding the scale of pirates recently!

He has drawn all the gangsters, three religions, and nine liuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. At present, there are nearly 1,500 pirates under his command. Among them, there are about five or six hundred people who directly obey him. There is no way this world can pull out thousands of people, because ordinary civilians have little effect, and the men Sauron recruited are at least thugs who have received militia training for more than five years. The weakest of these thugs can also bring down three ordinary adult men with his bare hands.

As for high-level professionals, it is better not to think too much.

The high-level professionals in this world are all managers of one power, and the worst is the level of small leaders. There are only two fourth-order professionals under Sauron, and the other highest professional level is 12, which is about third-order strength. . At present, no spell caster has been recruited. The masters are usually very dazzling, and it is not easy to meet each other, so Sauron did not have much expectations for him. There are ways for the caster to make money, and it is basically impossible to rely on a pirate force, because it is too dangerous to be a pirate.

"Your Mightiness."

Scarface carefully handed over a stack of scrolls, and said solemnly: "This is what I specially brought people to the City of Fortune, and bought them from the secret magic shop according to your instructions. There are a total of twenty-seven magic scrolls, and the shop bought them. The sorcerer inside said that if you want so much at a time, you can get a discount, and it costs a total of 26,500 Kindlers."

Speaking of this, Scarface wiped the sweat on his forehead a little, and continued: "The goods from Viper Island have already been sold, and those cunning businessmen are willing to take the initiative to increase the purchase price because of their respect for your prestige, according to the market. 50% of the listed price is purchased. So we brought back 21,500 Kindlers this time.”

He carefully handed over a list, and then swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

That's a lot of money.

Twenty kindlers are a pound, and twenty thousand kindlers are a thousand pounds of gold.

He had never seen such a large sum of money before, if it wasn't for Sauron's cruelty in his heart, he would even secretly swallow a portion of it. But this idea only appeared for a while, and then he gave up the idea, because Sauron is now one of the three pirate kings, he thinks that the future of serving under Sauron is greater, and there is no need to lower his status in your heart. . Last time, there was a person who secretly swallowed the goods and was hanged directly from the mast after being discovered by Your Excellency.

"very good."

Sauron picked up the list and glanced at it, then glanced at the thin man behind the scarred face, the guy shook his head slightly, and a smile appeared on Sauron's face: "You did a good job! Take someone to get 500 coins. Kindler, here's your reward, go out and have some fun and relax. We'll be out to sea in a while!"

Naturally, he will not let these subordinates mess around, and every leader has his eyeliner beside him.

If Sauron expands overseas, the connection with the mainland will inevitably weaken, so he needs to prepare a lot of things, including the spell scrolls that he needs to learn in the future. This thing is really too expensive, and it costs hundreds of Kindlers at every turn. For high-level spell scrolls with 5th or higher ranks, sometimes it costs seven or eight thousand Kindlers. Although Sauron was rich, he didn't have enough money to buy whatever he wanted. It was not easy to be able to allocate about 30,000 Kindlers to buy spell scrolls.

Unless he completely abandons the South Coast situation, he will have to pull funds to maintain it.

This batch of spell scrolls is enough for a while!

Sauron didn't have the energy to replace any extraordinary equipment for the time being, because it was too rare and too expensive. Because he needs to cast spells, he doesn't even wear leather armor, and his needs for other equipment are mainly concentrated on the most expensive rings, jewelry, accessories and belts. This kind of equipment can easily cost tens of thousands of Jindler, and it is quite difficult to buy it. Where does he have so much money and time now.

You don't have to worry about running out of money!

This is still a coastal area. If you go to the city of wizards, you will be worth more than 100,000 or more if you pull a wizard on the street, and a slightly more powerful wizard is worth hundreds of thousands. Let go of shopping in the wizarding city, even a million Jindler can be spent in minutes. [A wizard tower. 】

Sauron naturally didn't have the ability to go to the Wizarding City to spend, so he didn't think about buying those legendary equipment with scary prices.

………………

Scarface couldn't help revealing a bit of surprise when he heard Sauron's reward. Although 500 Kindlers was not a lot, it was a small fortune for him. Just give away one or two hundred Kindlers, and then take them to drink and play with women, and when he comes back, he can swallow two or three hundred Kindlers by himself. In the pirate industry, the boss eats meat and the younger brother drinks soup, and the following minions live a life of drunken life, as long as they have alcohol, meat, and a little money to find women.

He nodded respectfully, then turned to leave.

Sauron put down the shipping bill and glanced at the map, frowned and said, "Wait and look at One-Eyed Jack, and ask him why the batch of precision forged military weapons I need hasn't been delivered yet?"

"Let him deliver it within three days, or throw him into the sea to feed the sharks!"

Scarface stopped when he heard the words, then turned his head with a smirk on his face, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips and said, "Don't worry, Your Excellency! I'll go check it right away, and I guarantee that the batch of weapons will be delivered within three days."

Sauron nodded in satisfaction and waved: "Very good, let's go."

"Yes." Scarface nodded respectfully.

The strength of the pirates under Sauron was still a little weaker. Although many pirates had good combat experience and were very brave when fighting, but after all, they lacked a little accumulation, and it was necessary to rely on equipment to improve their combat effectiveness.

This batch of finely forged military weapons is important!
