Su Mo sat on a dilapidated city wall by the sea, waiting for Kelgard to come back, but he didn't wait for a long time. This guy was probably still afraid that Su Mo would ask him for reward, so he just tore open a passage and ran away. .
There are many such dilapidated city wall piers, which are relics of the old Great Wall.
There were blood stains on it, showing a dark red color. The system did not follow the rule of refreshing every ten minutes here.
In fact, many places no longer refresh every ten minutes.
It is said that the next version may cancel this very "game" setting. Players need to wash themselves to clean the dirt on their bodies, or find a priest to use cleaning techniques.
There are also some other very "game" settings that will also be cancelled.
Just when Su Mo realized that Kilgard had run away and was about to go back, he saw some sail tips appearing on the sea, from small to large, from few to many, and soon formed a huge fleet.
pirate!
Su Mo was nervous for a moment, and then relaxed because he realized that the pirates seemed to be with him.
Coming is the pirate king's fleet.
Grand Duke Stan finally stood in front of Su Mo. His complexion was better than last time, and it was obvious that he was living a very nourishing life.
"Will pirates still steal things and kill people in the future?" Su Mo faced the sun. Although it was sunset, he still couldn't open his eyes.
"Otherwise, why would we call them pirates?" Grand Duke Stan couldn't help laughing.
"Yes." Su Mo nodded.
Just like people want to eat pork, wolves want to eat rabbits, this is a matter of course, unless the existence of pirates is eliminated.
"This seaport really changes from day to day. Count Iron Horse is really a capable minister." Grand Duke Stan still admired Su Mo very much. If he could dominate the power of the federation, he would definitely give Su Mo an important position.
"Be dedicated, and then be less selfish, that's all." Su Mo sighed.
To put it simply, not all people can do it, and it can even be said that most people can't do it. Whether it is a game or reality, people's hearts are full of thoughts, and they even sacrifice the most basic principles of life for it. and professional accomplishment.
"I came here to act as a messenger. You deserve this." Grand Duke Stan threw something over.
Su Mo raised his hand to take it and found that it was something like a gold coin.
When he opened his palm, he saw that it was not any common currency in games, but something like a badge.
But this badge actually has no attributes at all.
Seems very strange.
The name seemed familiar. Su Mo frowned and thought about it, and then suddenly his eyes widened.
When he was playing tricks in Niu Mo Port, the old cow thought he was a member of the Secret Order, so he went down the slope and accepted the identity of the member of the Secret Order. Unexpectedly, after many days, he saw this name again. , actually from a Secret Order badge.
"What do you mean?" Su Mo felt a little guilty.
"From today on, you are a member of the Secret Order, if you have no objection to joining." Grand Duke Stan said.
"Uh, what is the secret sect for? Who is in it?" Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't just come here to cause trouble.
"You don't know? You don't know what you're doing pretending to be it." Archduke Stan laughed.
Sure enough, I knew that this organization was absolutely awesome in the Eastern Continent, just like what the old cow thought.
"I never said that I was, that's what others think." Su Mo shrugged.
Grand Duke Stan shook his head helplessly, turned his palm, and there was also a Secret Order badge lying in his palm. He explained: "I got this badge when I agreed to serve the Secret Order. They said I could let it go." I don’t have to die, you can also give me supreme power, and only a fool would not want it.”
At that time, Archduke Stan was being hunted and had almost no way out.
His anti-human behavior is hated by almost all forces, and it is useless to explain this kind of thing. No matter you use death row prisoners or corpses, it has touched everyone's bottom line.
In despair, he met someone.
This man asked him if he was willing to work for their organization, and he could take all the blame for it.
The service here is not employment, but a more stringent contract.
To live, to have power and status, Grand Duke Stan lowered his proud head because he didn't know what was waiting for him on the other side of death.
He was a little jealous of Su Mo.
Even though he currently has a good status in the Secret Order, and has been promoted to the height of the new pirate king, he has no ego at all.
Everything he has is given to him by the secret order, and the corresponding secret order can take it away anytime and anywhere.
Just like a dog.
If the tail is wagging well, give it some good food. Once it makes the owner unhappy, it may be sent directly to the dog meat restaurant.
Life is like this. I once thought I was the protagonist, but found out that I was not.
Su Mo is different.
He is a talent valued by the big guys in the Secret Order, and he is a formally invited member.
"Are you willing?" Archduke Stan asked.
"You said it, only fools don't want it. I'm not a fool, so I don't want it for nothing." Su Mo laughed.
He knows that joining such an organization has benefits, but it also comes with responsibilities and obligations.
However, there is no free lunch in the world, and those who want benefits but are unwilling to take risks will never achieve great things. All Su Mo needs to do is to stop himself from being too greedy.
Archduke Stan completed his mission, stood up and left.
"Who is the leader of the Secret Order now?" Su Mo asked.
"I didn't know," Grand Duke Stan continued to leave without looking back: "I'm quite curious. If you figure it out in the future, remember to tell me."
"Where can I find you?" Su Mo asked.
"You can find me through any pirate at sea. I will say hello to them." Grand Duke Stan stepped on the trembling sampan and returned to his ship.
He walked straight into the cabin and did not stand on the bow to let Su Mo say goodbye.
Su Mo sat on the low wall by the seaside, watching the mast slowly sink and eventually disappear completely.
The moisture that belonged to the night began to spread wildly, and soon his whole body was wet.
The hot day is coming to an end soon.
In the noisy embrace of the waves, the world comes to an end.
Su Mo was soon officially appointed by the federation. He became the Earl of Iron Horse, and his territory expanded again.
Too many nobles were defeated in the war, and some of them had territories that could be divided up.
The new territory occupies a very large area. Although it is not very wealthy, Earl Iron Horse has proved himself in the war. Even the terrible abyss cannot shake his territory, so a steady stream of aborigines began to migrate to Huggins. Plant pasture and also plant corn.
Su Mo would collect taxes from them like other lords, but the money collected was basically invested in the construction of the territory.
Build roads, dredge rivers, pay priests, etc.
