There was a loud roar from the door of the dark prison, and the businessman who claimed to be a handsome man couldn't help but put his face on the iron railing in anticipation, except for the time of three meals on weekdays, there would be no second living person in this damn dark prison, and suddenly he heard the sound of the voice, how could he not feel excited, although he didn't know what the fate was, but it was better than in this dark place.

"Come on, our family wants to see you, remember to behave better!" A pirate swaggered into the dungeon, holding a candle in his hand, and as he spoke, he took a bunch of keys from his waist, and after a little search before inserting them into the keyhole, and with a 'click', the voice that the man had dreamed of finally came, and he didn't know how many times he had dreamed of it at night.

"Uncle, what do you want to ask me, can you tell me some in advance?" The merchant licked his chapped lips and rubbed his palms in a loud voice.

"It's useless for you to ask me, I don't know anything. Anyway, when the time comes, if the adults ask you, you can answer honestly. If you dare to tell a lie, I'll cut out your tongue and feed it to the fish! The pirate was fierce-looking, and a scar slipped from the corner of his eye, and when he said this, the merchant's already enthusiastic expression suddenly stiffened.

"Let's go, stay here and do something." The pirate looked at the merchant's expression, smiled, pulled it out, and walked ahead.

The merchant didn't know what his fate would be in the next moment, and there was a taste of mourning more than death.

Along the way, he felt that the pirates looked at him like a sharp blade around his neck, and although it was cold at the moment, dripping sweat was still on his forehead. He didn't know how he had entered the room, but he felt the heat of his body and realized that he had moved from the outside into the room.

The pirate knocked on the door, then shouted to the merchant, "Come in." ”

"Oh...... Oh good. The merchant put his hand on the doorknob with a very complicated mood, and as if with great determination, he opened the door and pushed it in.

"You...... Hello. "He is usually able to speak well, and he is simply knotted with his tongue at this moment, which is a terrible opening statement. He looked up at the people seated, looking very uneasy.

"Come here." At the top of the list, a man who covered himself under a black cloak spoke loudly, his voice thick and majestic, making people dare not resist.

"Tell me, where did you get this thing?" As he spoke, a piece of 'Extraterritorial Demon Crystal Iron' was thrown out and rolled down in front of him.

The merchant looked up and saw that he was not stupid or stupid, and his shrewd mind made him understand at once that this was the culprit who had trapped himself in prison, and he did not dare to think about it, so he hurriedly said, "This is what I learned from trading with a troglodyte tribe. ”

"Cavemen? Neanderthal? Raphael didn't expect this merchant to be involved with this race, but it is not difficult to understand why this merchant was able to obtain extraterritorial magic crystal iron, although Neanderthals are called cavemen, they can be said to be the first humanoid creatures to enter other planes, because they are good at digging caves and avoiding dangers, so they can often accumulate a lot of precious ores and metals, and this is undoubtedly very good news for Raphael.

"Adults are really well-informed, they are cavemen." The merchant didn't know much about Neanderthals, only the generic term troglodyte.

"How did you deal with them? Where is the transaction located? Raphael was immediately interested, which was tantamount to a sleepy pillow for himself.

"This ......" The merchant hesitated a little, this way he had to work hard to get it, and he was still a little reluctant to give up such a laying hen, if it was just Kinsor, he was still willing to break the bank, but if the road to wealth was cut off, it would be a little ......

"Huh? You don't want to say? The fourth Cornetic said very unhappily, and he would kill him if he didn't agree with him.

"I'm ......" the merchant sat down on the ground and spoke inarticulately.

"Okay, I don't know how you traded. I just wanted to ask how many ores and metals you can bring me at one time? I can give you a fair price. Raphael doesn't plan to dig deep in this area, it's a big deal to spend money on it, and it can save a lot of processes and risks.

"If you really want to buy it, my lord, I can bring a shipload of goods almost at a time, once a month." Speaking of trading, the merchant immediately regained his spirits and spoke with great interest.

"A boat? Okay, I'll leave you an informant, and you'll sell him these things when the time comes. Don't try to fool me, or we Black Flag Pirates won't let you go!" Raphael was warned.

"Of course, sir. I don't dare fool you, I'm going to mess around in this sea too, I know. The merchant hurriedly reassured.

"Go down, and you'll be gone with the next ship that goes to sea." Raphael waved his hand to let him go.

"Yes, sir." The merchant bowed in relief, and then retreated.

"Boy, you are not small, you dare to hide your secrets. It's also our boss's kindness, otherwise I would have chopped you up and fed the fish! The pirate who had brought him earlier said in a very disgruntled tone. However, in the end, he just snorted and left with him, causing the merchant to break out in a cold sweat again.

"My lord, should we send someone to follow him and see where he goes to trade, if this kid plays tricks on us in the future, we can also connect this line." Seeing them leaving, Ghost Card asked aloud.

"Yes, that's fine. But until then, we're going to trade with him seriously, and we'd better be louder, not only to be feared by us, but also to prove our credibility. You've done a good job in this regard, getting those ships to pay protection fees, and those big merchant ships have too many guards, which can not only reduce our losses, but also get a lot of profits. Raphael said approvingly, Ghost Card is indeed the best second-in-command in the Black Flag Pirates, and handles many things in an orderly manner.

"Your Excellency has won the prize." The ghost card is very modest.

……

After staying here for two days, Raphael took the time to go to the temple, and Aishara planned to send a group of Sea Clan elites to follow Raphael back to Yuki Territory, and sow seeds there, waiting for the right time to open a passage in the sea, and then use the coastline of the Ottore Empire as a starting point to expand outward, so as to achieve the goal of coastline domination.

Whether the ships of the Ottore Empire can pass at that time depends on whether Raphael has a happy or sad expression on his face. Of course, this plan is only a piece of the puzzle for now, and Raphael's ambitions are not just a matter of the coastline of the Ottore Empire......

"Third child, it's up to you to host here these days." Jack Kenway instructed and explained to the three ghosts who stayed on Poison Dragon Island, the fourth Cornedis and the sixth Agatha one by one.

"You all have to be careful while I'm away, those guys in the Blood Navy can't wait to pull us all out, don't give them this opportunity." Jack Kenway lingered on the trio for a moment, then swept over to the brothers behind them.

"Don't worry, the three of us will be careful. Besides, with Ms. Essara's side to help, we won't have a problem. You can go with your lords, and you can leave the matter to us with confidence. Brothers, they're not straw bales, they're not so easy for these stupid cats to catch, don't you say! Ghost Card turned his height and raised his hand as he spoke, and the pirates behind him responded in a loud and uninhibited voice.

"It's just, why did you suddenly become so verbose, and we seem so unworthy of your trust?" Cornedy patted the big wolf named Ohei next to him, and the big wolf 'whooped'.

"Don't worry." Agatha didn't say much, but her tone was serious.

"Alright, then I'll go." Jack Kenway was no longer hypocritical, laughed, jumped on the deck, "Anchor, sail, set sail!" ”

"Yes!" The pirates on board were busy quickly, and this was the last batch of supplies to be purchased from the Abrahamic Chamber of Commerce in Perkin Harbor, all of which would be stored in the Black City and transferred when the time came.

……

On the docks in the Black City, Raphael saw Jack Kenway disembarking from the ship and said, "Feeling a little sad? ”

"No, it's just that we got together and said that we must conquer this sea, but we didn't expect to really let us complete it. The pirate forces in this sea area were absorbed by us, and some of them left here directly to find another place. So being separated from my three brothers all at once gave me the feeling that I was dreaming. Jack Kenway said with some ease and some sentimentality.

"Don't worry, I'll find you an enemy and help you get revenge." Raphael's fluttering words made Jack Kenway jump out of his sadness.

"How do you know, my lord? I have not even told my brothers about these things. Jack Kenway looked at Raphael in shock, as if he had discovered a treasure in his depths.

"Sometimes, stories are hidden in a person's eyes, in their soul. If you don't say it, it doesn't mean that others can't see it and feel it. A lot of times, it's just that you think you're hiding it well. Raphael exhaled softly, speaking in a tone that saw through the red dust.

"I can also see that the adult is a person with a story." Hearing this, Jack Kenway seemed to return to that bloody night, if he had such strength at that time, would he be able to save his family?

Unfortunately, there is no if in this world as a turning point. And who was the original enemy? He has not been able to find the culprit of the persecution of his family for so many years, and he has not even been able to find other family members, which has always been a regret for him.

"Living in this world, who doesn't have a story? Doesn't a man without a story seem pale and pathetic? Raphael raised his eyes to the sky, and the stars in the sky were like rivers, twinkling and twinkling, reminding Raphael of a sentence he had heard before, "Dead relatives will turn into stars in the sky to protect you." ”

"Of course, there are times when I wish I was a person without a story." Raphael then said self-deprecatingly, the reason why Raphael felt so much on this night was because it was the day when the Dickie Arcane Empire was destroyed.

A gust of wind blew through the sea, and then I saw that the fog on the sea gradually dissipated, and Heicheng sank into the sea again and moved forward quickly.

……

Time flies, and you won't feel the boredom and boredom of the journey in the black city, because this is a self-contained city, in which you can find a lot of fun, women, wine, chess and cards, cultivation, battles, all the necessities of the pirates' life are provided in it, there is a kind of beauty in the mountains for a day and a moon in the world, and the world has been a thousand years.

It was only at the moment of Raphael's return that several giant warships sailed on the twilight sea, "My lord, we will be able to reach the Yuki Territory in ten nautical miles." Do you think this 'lion king' will accept our request? At the bow of the ship was a stocky man, and he asked a curvaceous woman beside him.

"I don't know, but I can tell from the deeds and deeds of this man that he is a very ambitious man. Otherwise, he would have been able to stay in Bloometta with his relationship with the royal family of Ottore, which would have allowed him to gain power very quickly. But the fact that he was able to leave Bloometta resolutely proves that he is extraordinary. ”

"But I'm afraid that the Ottore royal family has already thought clearly, and geniuses will not be willing to be trapped by ropes. However, Ottore XI did have the courage to cut off a piece of the territory and give it to the young man to eat, and this kind of behavior of buying people's hearts is something that few emperors can do. It is not for nothing that the Ottore royal family can decay without dying. I'm really giving them some opportunities, and I can't say that I can really turn them over! The woman's voice was beautiful, but not as clear as her analysis.

"What if the 'lion king' doesn't agree to our request? After all, we can't afford to offer such a big price. The short and fat man said worriedly, looking very uneasy.

"Don't think about it so much, wait until you see me before making a decision. And we don't have to target him alone, if it doesn't work, let's try another goal. There is no shortage of careerists in this world, and even if there is one less Raphael Abraham, there will be many others who will stand out from it. The woman stroked her windswept hair and said these words with bright eyes.
