Black sail

Chapter 710 XC. Peace and Prosperity Across the Land
September 12, 2690 (Holy Spirit Calendar).

Kingdom of Mulong, Port of Golden Palm, a hot summer afternoon.

The blue of the dome was splashed lightly, the clouds were thin, seagulls swirled around, and white sails of merchant ships hung between the sky and the sea.

With the restoration of the monarchy and Suyizana's ascension to the throne, there is a great demand for goods in the country. The Narrow Sea is a prime waterway, so many merchant ships are taking the risk of crossing it.

Behind the fence of the dock embankment.

Red and white striped parasols blocked the scorching sun, dried fruit and drinks were placed on folding tables, and people in chairs wore sunglasses, enjoying the vastness of the world.

"Damn, this is a complete failure. Theoretically, Golden Palm Harbor is our territory, but all the profits still have to be shared with Su Mei. Isn't this just being a bouncer?"

Ryan was wearing sunglasses and sipping his juice.

"The Spartan Queen's sacrifice was a ruthless move by Su Mei. But that's all we can do. General Finn personally negotiated the terms, so there can't be anything better. After much persuasion, we finally have some real territory in the Narrow Sea, a safe house. If the Whale Bus doesn't capsize and Brother O is crippled, we can put him in the Golden Palm Harbor home to recover his spirits and then start a new game."

Xia Di was also wearing sunglasses, with his legs propped up on the table.

"How is Jin Mi'er now?"

Zahak was forced to wear sunglasses and sit upright.

"Why are you talking so aggressively? Watch your mouth. We are now national heroes of Alan. The Crown Prince has granted us a pardon, and envoys are coming to visit us. They've given us enough face. Only when we're happy will we go to the capital to see the Emperor."

Ryan's nose is so upturned it's practically pointing to the sky.

Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, and considering that we were ignorant before and fought over the train, the Battle of Mulong was also to rid the country of a scourge.

There's no need to detain Zahaq anymore; who can a defeated general associate with? The eight people in the group photo that appeared in the newspaper a few days ago have a higher status than you in Aran.

"Damn national heroes, strictly speaking, only Swann, Micah, and Claude can be considered national heroes. You foreigners, to put it bluntly, are at best international friends."

Chuan Tetsu retorted without holding back, saying that national heroes must be national heroes, and their identities are different.

"Why am I not an Aramean! Why isn't my father Li Ka-shing!"

Renn burst into tears, uttering inexplicable names.

"Something's still strange. Logically, we should have received the envoy's message soon, but there's been no movement. We can't contact Micah either. He's been pardoned and should be free to move around. We don't know if he's being detained or under house arrest. The headquarters at Heavenly Port said that the standoff between Lord Chai and the brain-dead King Bema has slowed down, and the request for help from Heavenly Port has been put on hold. It seems that there's some internal turmoil in the Aran royal court, giving Lord Chai some breathing room."

Xia Di knew that it was impossible for Li Si Te to go to the capital to pay homage to the Emperor.

"I just want to know, who the hell is Master Chai?"

Kawachi had been hanging out with these people for a while, but he didn't understand any of the technical terms.

Rodrigo XI.

Xia Di pondered.

Rashomon is done, Prismatic Rune, get a good buddy, put the three-star Zot in your reserve seat.

The attitude of the Aran royal court did soften, but no one expected that such an explosive event as the duel between the kingdoms would occur in the end, which will definitely be recorded in history.

But it was too successful.

Celine was genuinely afraid that Lister would fall into Soloren's trap and have to go to see the Emperor, abandoning his business in the capital of Muron, and rushing to Golden Palm Port to make deals with Lister.

The only weakness of Lostora is that it lacks historical backing. It is a very young country. No matter how strong it is, it is not part of the same circle. The established powers are unwilling to play along. It relies solely on hard power and the export of benefits. With Sister Ai, it will be unstoppable. Empress, Veiled Emperor.

They're talking about it there now.

At this point, the two great powers of Lostrialand are truly serving up Heaven's Port. How fortunate are they? The whale guest is nothing but fish on a chopping block; who does he think he is?

Because Li Si Te is mentally ill, he hasn't had a break since Linden City last year. He's either working extremely hard or on the verge of a Rashomon-like situation. The Black Sail gang is just tough guys who can keep up the pressure, but in reality, they are under immense mental stress.

After September 9th, life finally settled down. He completely cleaned up his act and got back on his feet, and by a huge margin. Not only did he clean up his act, but he also gained a powerful position in the underworld, holding the status of OG Deaf Head of Heaven's Port in the North. In the legitimate world, he had the merit of eliminating the remnants of the previous dynasty in Alan. He had influence in both the underworld and the legitimate world. Now he was truly awesome. He could go anywhere in the world, and his business was completely on the right track.

My mind went blank, and I felt an unprecedented sense of ease. "Could it be that Solomon suffered some hidden injury during the duel and died? That's fine too; his last words carry the most weight. We'll be treated as honored guests when we go to Aland."

Renn thought it was brilliant. It was thanks to the heroes, Gerdley and the First Prince, that the Rashomon incident didn't escalate to an even more outrageous level. Otherwise, those two-faced scoundrels like Cicero would definitely have resorted to underhanded tactics. If Solomon hadn't pulled this stunt later, that scoundrel Cicero would have tried to force a cold shoulder and not take them seriously.

When will Sister Ai arrive?

Shadi asked the orc Angshan who was standing to the side.

All I can say is that Tianguo Port is a place of outstanding people and abundant resources. Once you become the King of the East China Sea, you will find that this place is truly a treasure.

This is really a gacha event! People from all over the country who've committed crimes are flocking here, and the gacha pool is updated every now and then.

There are always some hero-level units that emerge.

Aung San Suu Kyi may not be a hero, but his connections are. His uncle is a key figure in the Northland People's and Orc Alliance, and he will be very useful in the future, so he needs to be taken care of.

But that doesn't mean the old gacha pool is useless. Heaven's Harbor has many reclusive masters. It's like playing a damn RPG game; the most powerful people like to stay in eerie places, and Heaven's Harbor is obviously very eerie.

The hell is that the Battle of Dalinge is about to explode in Heaven's Port, and these people are all unmoved, just sitting in the gacha pool.

It's like Niki's Pilgrim, it's been in the pool for a while, but it's very difficult to pull, the probability is very low, I've only pulled Draea and Old Man Wesley in all this time.

Actually, the pool is still there.

Now that Li Site has cleaned up his act and gone ashore, he's become a protector of organized crime. No matter what he's done, he's treated like a brother. He's given a "hero's package" of honors and guilds. He can change the roles of his comrades in the Hall of Righteousness and Loyalty at will. Whether it's serving the country with utmost loyalty or acting on behalf of Heaven, he can do whatever he wants.

This is the true value of consistently delivering high-level performance for a year.

"It's quite a long way to get here. Qili and Wenkui came along too. It'll be more than twenty days before we get here."

Aung San answered.

Shadi Raine was considered a veteran of Donghai International. Aung San was uneducated but clever. They took care of each other and spent every day together, running errands and acting as assistants.

"Sister Ai, what should we do?"

Xia Di didn't know what Li Site was up to. He was now a mere elector of Gouba, which was suicidal. He could only use Sister Ai to manipulate things a little.

"No... legally speaking, if I marry Sister Ai, wouldn't I become the master of the Western Continent?"

Ryan was just rambling on and on.

At this moment.

Inside the Pulau Palm City Hall residence.

The nominal lord had arrived, and he was clearly a cultured man; Lister called him Lord Bai.

But Lord Bai knew he was only there in name only, to take care of the duchy... no, now it's a kingdom, and to protect the kingdom's reputation, it was inappropriate to have an outsider as lord. In reality, he was just helping out Lister with odd jobs.

The people actually having business in the city hall office were Lister and Serene.

As for what to do with Sister Ai, Lister already had a plan. Lostora is a constitutional monarchy, Alan is an imperial dictatorship, the empress is a woman, and the emperor has style, but his words are not based on reason.

We must never let Sister Ai become a breeding machine.

But he still wanted to keep Celine hooked. He knew Celine wanted it, but he wouldn't give it to her until she wanted it so badly that he would.

"Soloren is indeed a member of the multi-party alliance regarding Fafnir, but anti-imperialist elements within Aran are also his pawns. Even disregarding the anti-imperialist elements, Soloren also has people within the Aran court, because his political stance remains that of a defender of the Aran system; he's just more cunning than the other princes. I myself am from the intelligence agency, and the Empress is from the Astalia family, one of the most powerful families in the Western Continent. Soloren is only protecting you now, when he doesn't need you..."

Celine hadn't finished speaking.

"Alright, alright, I got it. I'm a gangster, what do I know about politics? We can discuss it. There's this so-called Pirate King in the Narrow Sea, the head of privateers. You need to take off your current one right now, but that's a prerequisite. You didn't even think much of him anyway. Also, Pirate King is such a damn awful name. Now that I'm ashore, I want to be... an admiral. I also need to be the governor of the East China Sea. I also need to get involved in the affairs of the North Sea Bay, otherwise we can't take down the Giant Whale."

Lisite only wants to grow bigger and stronger, and for peace and prosperity to reign throughout the world!
