Port Panama.
Walking on the street, Lumian always felt like he had come to Beckland, the capital of the Rune Kingdom, and although he had never been there, the foggy sky and the damp and cold environment were exactly the same as Trier's ridicule of Beckland.
Of course, there is still a significant difference between the architectural style here and Beckland, which is mainly divided into two categories, one is huge but not rough, with typical Frasac characteristics, and the other is made of a mixture of stone and wood, simple and rough, and lacks planning, sometimes crowded together, sometimes far apart.
Most of the pedestrians coming and going on the street were dressed as typical pirates, with short knives at their waists and guns inserted, without any concealment, but more like local residents, those with brown and dark skin, always smiling and flattering.
Lumian can fully understand the mentality of the aborigines, after all, if you really want to make any pirate unhappy, you may be forcibly dragged into a corner and killed, or you will be touched into the room and killed while sleeping at night, and the murderer will turn around and get on his pirate ship and go away in style.
The current rulers of Panama Island tried to recruit pirates and adventurers as a force to maintain order, and hoped that the great pirates would negotiate a pirate convention to restrain the pirates' behavior in the harbor, but these measures had a very limited effect.
This is because people who are accustomed to being pirates, even if they become sheriffs and policemen, cannot quickly become law-abiding and strict with themselves, and the local area lacks strong forces to suppress them.
The pirate convention discussed by the great pirates is not mandatory, even if someone really violates it, at most they will suffer a little punishment within their own pirate group, after all, no one is willing to hand over their own people to others to deal with.
The biggest effect of these measures is to make Barnamo Harbor look quite orderly, and while Lumian enjoys the lively street scene, he can hear screams or thumping gunshots from the depths of the alleys on both sides from time to time.
"This place is too suitable for 'hunters'......" he said with sincere emotion.
When the two groups of pirates disagreed and started fighting in the middle of the street, Lumian suddenly had an idea:
"It is not impossible to put the great plague required for the promotion ceremony of the 'Desperate Witch' here......
"It's just that we have to develop a potion in advance that can prevent infection or cause serious illness for the predetermined plague, and secretly distribute it to the residents here......
"The only problem is that there are obviously no 30,000 pirates, well, there are quite a few extraordinary people among the pirates, and if you really want to infect them and make them suffer pain and despair, it should be possible to significantly reduce the number of people needed for the ritual......"
Lumian watched the pirates fight with relish, pondering the feasibility of holding a "Desperate Witch" ceremony in Port Panama.
When the pirates were at the end of their fire, the sheriffs finally arrived, dispersed the two groups, and symbolically arrested several people.
This is waiting for the corresponding pirate group to pay the fine!
As for who of the two groups suffered a loss and wanted to get it back, I'm sorry, the local sheriff is only responsible for maintaining order and not administering justice, you go to the sea to fight again.
During this process, the corpses of pirates left on the street and not yet had time to carry them back were quietly dragged away by adventurers and local residents.
Lumian saw that he wanted to applaud such an order.
While it was still dark and the sun was shining through the fog, he continued to wander the streets of Port Barnamo.
Passing by a stone house with a small square, he saw a dozen or twenty people gathered there, most of whom looked like local residents, and on the stone platform in front of them stood a pirate wearing a two-horned hat and blue tweed clothes.
The pirate was shouting loudly in Fursack:
"You are just a group of puppies who have just left their mother's arms, if you want to become a qualified pirate, you need to receive corresponding training, and now, let me teach you the first lesson, that is, who can mess with and what can't be messed with at sea......"
Rumian, who is proficient in Old Versak, can barely understand what the pirate is saying, and discovers that it is the pirate group recruiting new people and providing basic training.
"How can you get it the same as the big company in Trier hiring new employees...... Lumian scolded him, and saw the pirates on the stone platform hanging bounties and portraits, introducing the six kings of the sea, nine generals and famous adventurers in turn.
This was exactly the information Lumian wanted to collect, and he stopped and listened leisurely at a certain distance.
Without any accident, he saw Louis. Portrait and detailed description of Berry.
At the end, the two-horned hat pirate on the stone platform pointed to a portrait and said:
"Although his reward is not high, you must not despict him, or even have any contact with him."
Can't have any contact? Lumian stared and found that the protagonist of the portrait was a man in his thirties with a strong physique, thick brown hair, wearing overalls and a white shirt.
Immediately afterwards, the two-horned hat pirate introduced the new pirates in a solemn tone:
"His name is Frank. Lee, the first mate of the "Star Queen", is a "druid".
"What is a 'druid'? I'll tell you when I introduce you to the common sense of the extraordinary, in short, 'Druid' is sequence 5, just like the pirate generals, so understand Frank. Li's horror, right?
"But that's not the main reason why he didn't dare adventurers and pirates mention his name at sea, I don't know what the real reason is, I just know everyone who has met Frank. Lee's pirates and adventurers seem to have some kind of mental illness, and when they mention this person, they will jump out of their chairs in fright, and some will vomit on the spot. Li Yuan, also, don't leave your blood in Frank. Near Lee, don't eat Frank. Food around the plum ......"
It turns out that the legendary druid Frank. Li is the first mate of the "Star Queen", the pirate king...... But why are so many pirates and adventurers afraid of him being like this? Even if he has the strength of a pirate general and his style is very cruel, it will not cause this phenomenon...... Lumian listened to the introduction of the two-horned hat pirate and muttered silently.
He was a little curious about Frank. What is so special about Li.
After watching the pirates recruit newcomers, Lumian moved into a carnival bar not far away.
He squeezed past the pirates who did not hide their identity, sat down on a high stool in front of the bar, and asked for a glass of Lie Langzi.
The lingua franca of Port Panama is Vulsack, but the pirates who come and go speak all languages, and they are not people who love to learn, and few are proficient in multiple languages, so the Versak speakers are in one circle, the Intes speakers are in another circle, etc., etc., and the reason why Lumian chose the carnival bar is that the words on its sign are all from Intis.
In the noisy and warm environment, Lumian took two sips of Renzi, put down his glass, looked at the bartender, and asked loudly in Intis:
"Do you have details of the nine pirate generals? Not including those mentioned in the wanted notice."
Suddenly, the sound in the entire bar disappeared, and all the pirates present set their sights on Lumian at the bar.
It became extremely quiet, and even the faint sound of some people swallowing saliva could be heard.
The bartender's expression became embarrassed and a little playful, and he said to Lumian:
"Are you an adventurer?"
He even went to the bar where the pirates gathered and asked for detailed information about the pirate general!
Lumian didn't answer the bartender, turned halfway to look at the pirates who were watching him.
The fire around him lit up, and one after another red and almost white fireballs condensed and floated in mid-air.
Then, Lumian laughed, raised his chin slightly, and said:
"Although the bounty is not high, I am too lazy to do it, but if anyone wants to take the initiative to give me the money, I don't mind accepting it."
The pirates' expressions suddenly changed, and Lumian's gaze did not flinch at all, he swept the pirates' faces and asked with a sneer:
"Are you coming?"
Quiet, still quiet, the whole rave bar was quiet.
The danger contained in those dozen red and near-white fireballs could be intuitively felt by every pirate present.
Lumian stopped provocating and pointed to a chair a few meters behind him and said:
"Don't appear behind me, don't think about taking advantage of the crowd at the scene to get close to the assassination.
"Whoever crosses this chair, I will kill whom."
After saying that, Lumian turned back to his body, and under the background of more than a dozen fireballs, he smiled and said to the bartender:
"You can answer my question."
Seeing that this adventurer had never introduced himself or boasted about his past deeds, but his words and deeds showed strong self-confidence and an attitude of killing like drinking water, the bartender smiled:
"What we know is similar to what is on the wanted list, if you really want to know the more secret part, you can ask the enemies of different pirate generals, Emperor Roselle once said that the one who knows a person best is his enemy."
"Specifically about the enemy of each pirate general." Lumian took another sip of Lie Langzi.
In the bar lobby, the pirates saw that the adventurer was easily maintaining the existence of the fireball, so they had to talk to their companions again, and some quietly left, as if looking for help.
Lumian didn't stop it, and didn't even look at it.
By the time the bartender finished speaking, he probably understood the "Deep Sea General" Hal. Who are Konstantin's enemies:
In addition to being able to do the pirate's own job, his methods are more bloody and cruel, and he rarely clashes with other pirate generals and other big forces, but the former "Vice Admiral of Twilight" and the current "King of Twilight" Bulatov. Ivan suspected that Hal. Constantine's two "stealth ships" were obtained from a legendary treasure at sea - "Lost Neunes", so they set their sights on this "Deep Sea General" and wanted to get information about Newnes from him, and the two sides had many conflicts.
When Bulatov became the king of the sea, the "Deep Sea General" Hal. Constantine had to always avoid the strong man and his fleet.
