In the southern part of the Eagle's Beak Peninsula, at the Port of Belfort where the county town is located, two large merchant ships slowly entered the port. The appearance of these two merchant ships caused a sensation behind the port.
The port flags hoisted on the merchant ships are too rare. It is normal to hoist the Oyster Bay Port flag, but the two ships actually hoisted the Kodor Port flag and the Golden Anchor Port flag. Isn't this a port controlled by the nobles?
How long has it been since the people of Belfort Port saw ships from Kodor Port and Golden Anchor Port?
Both Oyster Bay Port and Kodor Port are military ports, so which of these two ships went to Kodor Port first or Oyster Bay Port first?
After seeing the port flags of the hostile forces, how dare the second military port grant the two ships permission to enter the port?
The strength of these two ships is terrifying. The captains and people in the port are asking which shipping company is so powerful.
When the Volcano and the Giant docked, everyone also found out the key information.
It turned out that it was a shipping company founded by the former pirates Furnace and Green Skull. This explains why they could come and go freely when they were pirates, and now they can come and go freely as a shipping company.
Rudolf found Mackenzie: "Mackenzie, contact the Chamber of Commerce here and see if you can buy some goods at a low price and fill the Giant. It always feels like a loss to move around empty."
In addition to being the first mate of the Volcano, Mackenzie is also the manager of the shipping and trading company. He replied: "Okay, Captain. But aren't we going to transport the ashes of the Royal Marines who died? Don't we need to leave enough space?"
"Not really necessary. Judging from the constipated look of the Constitutional Army's staff officer, the Constitutional Army can't take out much ashes, so leaving two cabins is more than enough."
"I understand, Captain."
Rudolf added:
"By the way, Mackenzie, in An Apostle Development Fund will be established within the company.
The company will bear the resources needed for the company's employees to be promoted to Level 5 Apostles. Those who apply for this fund will have half of their salary deducted until the company pays off the part paid on their behalf.
This time you purchase materials in Belfort Port, you can choose what you need for promotion. If you can't find 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. "
Furnace Pirates, no, the habit has not changed yet, now it should be said that the Volcano Shipping Company, with the promotion of Rudolph and Cooper, the resources they can provide have also increased a lot. For example, Rudolph will have more say in the Black Gold Institute now, and the level of the crew should also be improved.
"Okay! Captain!"
Mackenzie thinks Captain Furnace is amazing. According to Captain Furnace, the Black Gold Institute should also give Captain Furnace some face.
Rudolph activated the Black Gold chess piece that Celine left for him. Regardless of whether it was a trading day for the Black Gold, the Black Gold would open the door for Rudolph, and Celine would open the small door for Rudolph.
Soon, the chess piece got a response, and Rudolph walked towards the direction of the chess piece.
Just after walking out of the dock, Rudolph found that there were a lot of beggars around. There were many beggars on the road, in groups of three or five, leaning against the corners dejectedly, which made Rudolph 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, Rudolph noticed the disabilities of these beggars. This was not a disability after encountering misfortune, but a disability after self-mutilation.
Painful believers? Why are there so many painful believers?
Rudolph looked around and immediately found the key information. In front of a notice board, several captains were recruiting crew members.
"Tonight, smuggling in the southern continent is particularly rampant! The navy is not strong enough, so we are temporarily recruiting crew members to crack down on smuggling!"
When they heard that it was to crack down on smuggling, the people around the signboard squeezed forward, each of them was extremely excited.
Smuggling in the southern continent? Rudolf suddenly remembered the warning of the Pillar of Creation. The evil god cult really gave up using war to open the door to the northern continent, but used smuggled believers to slowly infiltrate and then look for other opportunities.
After leaving the port, Rudolf entered the city of Belfort. He found that in the depths of the streets and alleys, around the garbage cans, there were many homeless believers.
Most believers have obvious characteristics, such as the bald heads of white devil believers, the self-mutilation of painful believers, etc. Those who gather with these people are believers of other evil gods.
These believers are very troublesome. They can't all be killed. After civilization develops to a certain level, no one dares 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, as if for Mr. Furnace, promotion was just a small matter, a small matter that could be completed by going out.
The Black Gold Institute in Belfort City is located in a luxury hotel. Celine took Rudolph directly to the luxury suite on the top floor.
After Rudolph took a comfortable bath here, he lay on the soft sofa and enjoyed the cool breeze in the suite.
It is very uncomfortable to sail on the sea for a long time. It is more comfortable to live on the shore. At least you don't have to look at the boring waves and squeeze in a small cabin.
Celine took out a map and spread it in front of Rudolph.
This is a wilderness power map. Rudolph saw the boundary range of the werewolf tribe and the location of the blood clan castle on it. Before leaving, Rudolf told Celine that he needed a map of the distribution of forces in the wilderness.
"Very good, Celine, the Black Gold Institute is very well-informed, and you can get all the information about the deep wilderness."
After paying the price of the map, Rudolf said, "I will let my crew members participate in the transaction of the Black Gold Institute in a few days. I hope you can help collect the items they need for promotion. My shipping trade company is very rich. The money paid by the Golden Anchor Family alone can cover the promotion needs of the crew members this time."
"Okay, Mr. Furnace, I will ask the transaction host here."
"There is one more thing, Celine, why do I see so many believers in Belfort City, what happened at sea?"
Speaking of believers, Celine's face was also disgusted:
"Mr. Furnace, the Ancient Sea Wizard Association has completely surrendered to the Evil God Cult. I heard that the Evil God Church provides one relic for the promotion of the Level 7 wizard Bellat.
Now the Martini Group has become the center of the Evil God Cult. Transfer station, the evil god cult settled a lot of believers in the Martini Islands, and then organized these believers to smuggle here.
The number of those believers is endless, and countless small boats row to the shore every day.
More importantly, the people of the evil god cult bribed some parliamentarians, and those parliamentarians said that the believers who smuggled in could make up for the labor gap, and the believers could be used as cheap labor.
I heard that the two sides in the parliament were about to quarrel. The parliamentarians who wanted to strictly prevent the smuggled believers and the parliamentarians who wanted to accept the smuggled believers were arguing. One side scolded the other for being short-sighted, and the other side scolded the other for being inhumane. This matter became the biggest trouble for Belfort. "
"Indeed, when you see a smuggling boat, you can't just sink it on the shore. After all, it's a boat of lives."
The Ancient Sea Wizard Association joined the evil god cult because of a relic that Bellat urgently needed. The Martini Islands are only 50 nautical miles away from here, becoming a springboard for believers to smuggle.
After Mr. Furnace thought for a while and his expression became less serious, Celine came over.
"Mr. Furnace, your chess pieces gave me a hint, I have washed them in advance."
"Washed? Where have you washed?"
"Everywhere has been washed..."
