Chapter 689
Two months passed peacefully.
The White Feather Race and the White Fox Race were both powerful races that had tens of thousands of years of history. It wasn’t a problem for them to take out high-grade resources that were worth tens of billions of Origin Crystals.
They had personally agreed to it, although there is a little heartache equivalent to the distance between the index finger and the thumb.
They didn’t have any objections.
However, in their heart, they had raised the evaluation of the ‘Immortal Gate’ by a few levels.
Not only were their powerhouses at the top of the list, but their background was not bad either. The ‘Immortal Gate’ was not just an emerging power!
It can be seen that the hundreds of magical weapons sold in the past month alone are normal.
They was afraid that ‘Immortal Gate’ had taken out all the inventory they had in the past few years and put it in the financial report just to scam them.
The core block of White Town, as well as the damaged urban areas outside, were all repaired in a few days, except that the shops had been changed.
After such a disaster, the business of White Town naturally became a little more bleak.
The divine weapon is another one-shot deal – the kind that doesn’t come with after-sales repair, the divine weapon is inherently capable of repair – most of those who can afford to buy the divine weapon in White City have already bought it, and the daily flow of customer to the “Treasure Pavilion” has dropped quite a bit.
But it was still a money tree.
While the White Feather tribe was feeling the high output of the “Gathering Treasure Pavilion’s” divine weapons, unbeknownst to them, Tang Yu had built the “Gathering Treasure Pavilion” in two other neutral cities.
Two years ago,
He actually also looked at quite a few cities, such as the “Cliffheart City” of the ‘Cliffheart Empire’ and the “Crystal Capital” of the ‘Crystal City State’, both of which are giant metropolises in the Mountain and Sea Realm with developed commerce and trade.
However, the Cliffheart Empire had been besieged. The “Cliffheart City” had also entered a state of war alert, and the inspection outside of the city was very strict… business was not easy to do.
The Crystal Capital was also the same. Many casual practitioners stepped into the Void – and Unity – in order to avoid being affected by the war, they had already left the area where the Crystal City was located.
Although the Void treaders that left only amount to a small population, this population was precisely the target customer of the “Treasure Pavilion”.
The rich people had already run away, so what business was there to do?
There were also a few neutral cities that had a situation.
Some had already destroyed half of Border Town, while others were filled with killing intent.
Big Boss Tang had no choice but to build two chain stores.
But he is also weak…
Who knew if the top forces of the two neutral cities would suddenly start a war?
The demons were secretly causing trouble, and it seemed that nothing was peaceful.
Unless he built his own city.
But he faced many problems.
Building a city, even if it was a giant city, was very easy for the current Tree Shade. The difficult thing was that there were no customers.
White City was a neutral city that had accumulated several tens of thousands of years of fame.
How many people would pass by when he built a city?
“It doesn’t matter. In short, it can be sold for a few days.”
The most profitable business was the days after the opening of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. Even if he didn’t do business because of the war later, it seemed that… it was not a loss?
If you think of it this way, even if the commercial prosperity of the city is one or two steps behind White City, you can just open a smaller “Treasure Pavilion”.
It might be feasible.
“Nancy, give my first draft to the business department and ask them to find a suitable city and formulate a corresponding plan.”
“Right Away !”
…
Blue Water Duchy,
The Grand Duke has been very troubled recently.
First, it was a conflict with Furious Azure Duchy. For some unknown reason, it escalated a few times and finally, a country war broke out.
The strength of the two nations, Blue Water and Furious Azure, was about the same.
The Duke of Blue Water had always sought a solution.
For example, hiring top-notch experts to assassinate the Duke of Furious Azure – but there were many main factions in Furious Azure Duchy.
For example, hiring experts to assist in battle – he hired a few Unity Realm experts, but they were like grandpas.
Another example,
The Duke of Blue Water happened to hear that there were pirates selling puppets. They were high-end and large in quantity.
He was tempted.
The truth proved that his vision was extraordinary. In that battle, Blue Water defeated Furious Azure with many puppets who were fearless and fierce.
After that, the Duke of Blue Water purchased a batch of more puppets from the Black Skull pirates.
He was confident that the puppet army could take down Furious Azure Duchy in one fell swoop and attack Furious Azure’s capital.
However…
“? ? ?”
When the Duke of Blue Water saw the dense mass of puppets on the opposite side, he was completely dumbfounded.
Even the puppets on the opposite side were identical to his own model!
Didn’t they say that they paid attention to reputation?
He was also stupid to believe in the credibility of the pirates.
More than half of the puppet armies of the two duchies had been damaged during the war.
Perhaps heartbroken, a brief period of peace was entered between the two countries.
However…
“What? Pirates again! Are those pirates looking down on our Blue Water duchy? The navy? The seventh fleet? Where’s General Griffin!”
Blue Water Duke roared, his saliva splashing on the person in front of him.
That person trembled in fear. He opened his mouth and finally said with a trembling voice, “The Seventh Fleet was completely annihilated. General Griffin… had fallen.”
Blue Water Duke was stunned and stared in disbelief.
General Griffin was one of the top five powerhouses in the Blue Water Duchy. The Seventh Fleet under his command was even more invincible, sinking countless pirates and enemy warships.
In the Seventh Fleet, General Griffin had an extremely high prestige, and even the Duke of Blue Water was a little wary of him.
“The Seventh Fleet was destroyed? Griffin was in the Unity Realm, but he couldn’t escape?”
The Duke of Blue Water realized the seriousness of the matter.
In fact, recently, many pirates had appeared in the surrounding waters of Blue Water.
There were even pirates with a bounty of millions who openly left the city of the current Blue Water duchy. The bounty hunters who viewed them as mobile crystal tickets and the practitioners with a sense of justice were all dead.
The Blue Water duchy was currently engaged in a battle with Furious Azure. At first, the archduke was not willing to provoke these pirates.
However,
When merchant ships being plundered, pirates looting the port, fighting recklessly in the city, countless casualties, etc..
It made the Duke of Blue Water finally make up his mind to send out the seventh fleet to guard the most rampant sea area.
However…
The news of victory did not come, only death.
It was not an ordinary pirate, it was a big pirate!
Moreover,
More than one!
Blue Water Duchy entered a state of high alert. As news spread from all over the country, in less than two days, the information of some famous pirates was handed to the archduke’s table.
There were five great pirates with a bounty of more than ten million!
This was merely exposed without much concealment.
There was even a bounty of 36 Million – Bone Blade Walie, the second-in-command of the Abyssal pirate group. In the eyes of the Duke of Blue Water, he was almost a legendary pirate.
“The sea region where the Abyssal pirate group is active is a few kingdoms away from our Blue Water region. How could it suddenly appear here ? !”
“What happened to the other pirates?”
The Blue Water Grand Duke does not even know how dangerous is the Sea of Ghosts, yet the Sea of Ghosts will appear in the nearby waters in three months.
In reality, The sea of Ghosts was very poweful, comparable to the Swirling Sea. It was much bigger than the combined might of both Blue Water and Furious Azure Dukedom.
The coordinates given by the three Emperors were the coordinates of a large area of the sea. Only a corner of it was adjacent to the Blue Water Dukedom. If not for that, there would be even more pirates around the current Blue Water Dukedom.
Not all the pirates were extremely vicious and poor.
Some relied on the shore to replenish their supplies, while the more “professional” ones plundered merchant ships. However, there were also pirates that caused a disaster within the borders of the Blue Water Duchy.
Furious Azure next door was similar as well, only slightly better.
There were only three or four Unity Realms under the direct command of the Blue Water Grand Duke, and there were also a few great nobles within the country who had deep foundations, as well as hidden Unity Realm experts.
But it was not enough,
A powerful pirate like the “bone blade” could deal with them by himself.
“We can only seek help from the suzerain ?”
The archduke frowned.
The empire, kingdom, and duchy were clearly divided.
Almost all kingdoms and duchies had their own suzerain states.
Every year, they had to pay tribute to the suzerain in exchange for the suzerain’s protection.
But it was actually useless.
The archduke knew very well.
Blue Water and Furious Azure’s suzerain state were both “Dark Moon” kingdoms, but after fighting for so long, there was no reaction from “Dark Moon” – as long as they paid a lot of tribute every year.
“Forget it, let’s contact the Dark Moon Kingdom first.”
The Duke of Blue Water ordered his confidant.
Three days later,
He contacted the trusted subordinates of the Dark Moon through the special rune circle and finally brought back the news.
He lowered his head and said in a dejected tone, “The Dark Moon Kingdom accepted our gifts, but they only said that we should activate the formation to guard the capital. After a while, those pirates will leave.”
The Duke of Blue Water clenched his fists tightly, but he released them powerlessly.
“# ￥!”
He sat down in his chair dejectedly.
Actually, the Dark Moon Kingdom was right. As long as the Nether Sea opened in another month, the pirates would naturally leave.
The Blue Water Duke naturally did not know.
During the three days that they had been in contact with each other, there were many pirates fighting on the Blue Water Island.
In a battle between an expert at the Unity stage, it didn’t take more than a few minutes for the aftermath to turn a large city into ruins.
“Pirates! Damn pirates! Hmm…?”
Speaking of pirates,
The Blue Water Grand Duke thought of Lorraine and the others, and of the Black Skull pirates that had tricked them.
The Black Skull pirates only wanted money, while the other pirates wreaked havoc in the borders of the duchy.
With their peers as a foil, the Black Skull instantly became a powerful pirate group with organization, dreams, and ambition in the Grand Duke’s eyes.
For a time, the negative feelings were much less.
The favorability was about to become positive.
However, this could not solve the current problem.
The Blue Water Grand Duke racked his brains. Suddenly, his expression changed. “Since the Black Skull pirates speak of credibility and only want money, can the Black Skull deal with those pirates?”
The Duke of Blue Water did not know about what had happened at the gathering of pirates.
However, the strength that Lorraine and the others that they had displayed back then was no less than that of the great pirates in the eyes of the grand duke.
“Perhaps it really is feasible. But how do I move the Black Skeleton? I’m afraid that just Origin Crystals are not enough…”
The war had caused the Blue Water Duchy to not have many Origin Crystals left. These ‘ordinary goods’ would not be able to make the Black Skeleton work for them.
Suddenly,
He remembered a treasure that his ancestor had obtained.
It was an extremely precious treasure that his ancestor did not dare to reveal at all. In fact, he was the only one in the clan who knew about it!
“I do not have the ability to use that treasure. I do not even dare to take it out. Since that is the case, why don’t we…”
