Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 83: Proposal on the Development Plan of Beasts

Returning to Fenrir Island, although Kaido guessed that John might still be alive, he did not intend to take any countermeasures.

On the one hand, the beasts had just swallowed up such a large territory and needed time to digest it. They did not have the extra energy to compete with the golden lion for prey.

On the other hand, even if Kaido knew that John was still alive, he would not be able to find him for a while.

As for tracking the Golden Lion, it is even more nonsense. Theoretically, as long as Shiqi is willing, no one can know his exact location.

"Go tell Lingling and Wang Zhi about this. We don't need to pay any more attention to it."

After giving this order, Kaido, who had run out of wine, lay down and continued to sleep soundly.

"Okay, Boss Kaido."

La did not have the contact information between these two forces, so this matter still had to be handled by Burfat.

After casually wiping his face twice to get rid of the hangover, the fishman cadre strode out of the banquet hall.

"So what do we need to do next?"

After watching the reliable fishman senior leave, La turned and asked Jin who was standing beside him.

As the nominal cadre of the Beasts Pirates, she also began to consciously participate in some work within the pirate group.

"We have a lot to do next, but to put it simply, we need to recruit soldiers and expand our forces, and completely transform this island into a fortress for all beasts."

"Come with me. I'll take you to the archives. There's detailed information about the currents and shipping routes around the islands."

"Take a quick look at it first. Once Boss Kaido wakes up, we can discuss the details."

After spending these few days together, he obviously talked more to La Jin.

I don’t know if it’s because of La’s inherent affinity field or because he knows that the three of them are also rare races.

The archives room is not far from the banquet hall and is a small, inconspicuous building.

The exterior of the small building is a bit shabby, but it looks very clean with no traces of graffiti.

There was an antique metal decoration hanging on a wooden door with some paint peeling off. There were many text-like patterns engraved on it. When the door was pushed or pulled to enter, it made a crisp jingling sound. It seemed to be a special doorbell.

The scene behind the door was exactly the same as outside, very clean and tidy. It was not as messy as Baishou's archive room as one had imagined, leaving people with nowhere to step.

Piles of materials are neatly arranged on the shelves according to year and type, and all kinds of labels are complete, making it easy to find the files you need.

[Very professional arrangement, it seems that they hired a professional to manage these materials.]
His eyes swept over the rows of documents, but he didn't rush to look through them. Instead, he walked up the wooden stairs to the second floor.

Unexpectedly, this place is out of tune with the neat layout of the first floor, and instead has a bit of the style of a beast.

A large wooden table was placed by the window, with various objects placed on it in a messy manner, with no space at all.

An ink bottle that hadn't been closed in time, a quill pen placed randomly, an upside-down diary, and papers filled with various notes spread all over the table...

This seems to be someone's private room.

La continued to look around, and sure enough, he saw a wooden bed quietly placed in the corner, with an old wardrobe next to it.

But that's all. Compared to an ordinary room, this place is more like a temporary dark room where writers use to finish their manuscripts.

Coming to the desk, La picked up something like a manuscript paper and carefully read the contents on it.

[The format doesn't look like a novel or a diary, but rather some kind of research journal.]
I picked up another one and compared it with the previous one. I found that the formats of the two manuscripts were similar, but there were two different texts on them.

Based on the parts of the common language mixed in it, La roughly guessed that this should be a manuscript being translated, or a research notebook that is deciphering some lost text.

[It seems this archivist is also a philologist.]
After quickly scanning the various documents and notes on the desk, La roughly understood that this research notebook was the decipherment of the journal on the desk. The contents of the journal were related to a city called "Shandora".

However, since the deciphering work has not been completed or the notebook here is incomplete, La has no way of knowing other more detailed information for the time being.

[Fortunately, the original copy of the journal being studied is still there. I'll continue deciphering the rest of the content when I have time.]
After confirming that there were no other archival documents on the second floor, La turned back to the first floor and began to look through the account records of each year from far to near.

La read very fast. She would turn to the next page almost immediately after taking a quick glance. She had memorized the entire thick account book in just a few minutes.

Although there was an entire room filled with account books and files, this number was obviously severely reduced compared to the huge area and population of Fenrir Island and its exchanges with the dozen or so surrounding islands.

However, considering that ordinary pirates don't care about these cumbersome paperwork, this number is reasonable.

After all, you can't expect those rough guys who only know how to wield swords and guns to do your work well...

Two and a half hours passed quickly.

After quickly reading all the files in the room regarding inter-island commodity trade, population movement, geographical characteristics, etc., as well as the latest compiled information on the Beasts, La had a general understanding of the new territory currently occupied by the Beasts Pirates.

The first and most intuitive thing is the number of islands.

This time, they captured the main island of Fenrir, the secondary islands of Hati and Skull, and the surrounding scattered small islands, a total of fifteen.
Together with the three original islands of the Hundred Beasts, the Hundred Beasts now occupy a total of eighteen islands of varying sizes.

In terms of area, it has surpassed many countries along the Grand Route and is a veritable overlord.

The second is population.

The permanent population on each island here is almost the same as that of the previous three strongholds, and the population of the two sub-islands is even greater than the sum of the populations of the three islands.

As for the main island of Fenrir, as the core of this sea area, it naturally has the largest population, which is roughly equivalent to the total population of all other islands.

Then came the addition of the Beasts Pirates members...

First of all, the losses of the beasts in this battle were not great.

Most of them were people affected by the explosion on Honeycomb Island and a dozen people who were ambushed in Osi. As for the subsequent landing and island capture, there were not many casualties.

On the contrary, in the process of conquering islands in the sea one by one, they recruited a large number of people from the former John Pirates and their subordinate pirate groups.

The total number of beasts has now exceeded one thousand and pirates continue to come to join them.

Finally, there are various treasure resources.

There was no need to think about the treasure. The combined value of these dozen islands was only a few hundred million berries, and almost all of them were taken by John, leaving only enough for the pirates on the island to eat, drink and buy weapons.

Most of the weapons and ammunition on the island were stored on Skór Island, but due to poor storage, a considerable part of them had become damp and rusted and could not be used.

As for resources... perhaps due to volcanic activity, there are quite a few sulfur mines and other metal veins on the main island of Fenrir.

The main mines are copper and lead, but because they are too close to the mountain and the content is not high, mining is not organized.

Of course, other mines such as gold mines and gem mines were plundered long ago.

The surrounding islands also have some metal deposits, but they are not worth mining. Generally speaking, although the metal resources here are abundant, they are difficult to access.

On the contrary, perhaps due to the volcanic ash, these islands are rich in flora, fauna and food resources.

Not only are there many special fruits and vegetables, but there are also some well-known brands such as volcanic coffee. Of course, the fish resources in the surrounding waters are also not bad, and the annual catch is quite considerable.

These islands receive a huge amount of Pele every year through the food and seafood trade.
