Bloody Mary Port.
If you look down from a high altitude, you will find that this port is U-shaped like a horseshoe and has unique geographical advantages.
There are many forts arranged on the hills that overlap on both sides. A large number of ferocious artillery are aimed at the sea, and there are also giant chains and other equipment, ready to deal with all invading enemies.
After observing Bloody Mary Port, Fang Yuan had to admit that not only was it several times larger than the original Dearborn Port, but even with ten times the manpower, it would be difficult to capture it without all his strength.
As soon as the Red Lotus reached the safe boundary, there was some commotion on the opposite fort.
Obviously, if it weren't for the red lotus industry fire pirate flag hanging high, these pirates would definitely think that the navy was dispatched to encircle and suppress them.
After clarifying the misunderstanding and paying a large amount of port docking fee, the Red Lotus was guided by a small boat and slowly sailed into Bloody Mary Port.
"A lively and dangerous place..."
As soon as he got off the boat, Fang Yuan's ears moved and he heard gunshots not far away.
"You kid, don't run away. If you dare to steal something on Master Black Crow's head, I will chop you into pieces..."
As soon as he walked out of the port, a thin figure passed in front of Fang Yuan, followed by a pirate wielding a sailor's knife.
"Private fighting is not allowed in Bloody Mary Port. Only a few places such as bars, hotels, and auction houses are protected by Blackbeard. No one is allowed to cause trouble. Violators will be punished by being skinned!"
Bill explained to Fang Yuan in detail, and pointed to a huge wall near the port.
The breeze blows, and the many human skins on it are swaying in the wind like kites.
"This is a good idea. Pirates are a group of unruly people... To completely prohibit fighting is to cause trouble for yourself... "
Fang Yuan nodded: "Let's find a hotel to stay in first, and then have free time for a day to find out about the auction!"
It seems that because of the popularity of this auction, all the hotels in Bloody Mary Port were full at this time, and even the price of drinks increased by 50%.
Fang Yuan had to leave most of the crew on the ship, and stayed in a Flame Hammer bar with only a few confidants such as the butcher.
This bar doubles as a hotel, and there are only a few rooms left at this time. Of course, the comfort level cannot be too demanding.
What surprised Fang Yuan was that the owner of this bar was a dwarf less than four feet tall, but his arms and legs were extremely thick.
A row of dwarf warrior bodyguards stood at the door, all wearing leather armor and holding heavy weapons such as sledgehammers and axes, giving people a sense of security.
Although they had known the news about other continents and alien races for a long time, Bill and other locals were still a little stunned. They couldn't help but look at it a few more times. Fang Yuan stopped him and cursed him a few times.
As far as he knew, the dwarves in this world were not a good-tempered race, especially when others looked at their height.
In the Flame Hammer, Fang Yuan and others occupied a table and ordered dinner.
The dwarves were also very good at cooking. They had barbecue, wheat cakes, and mead. Bill and the butcher both enjoyed the meal very happily.
Wilson, on the other hand, had a gloomy look on his face, and it seemed that he would be eager to go out to find out the news after eating.
Fang Yuan casually took a few bites of the barbecue, then took a wine glass and drank the mead slowly.
With his sharp perception, even the low-pitched conversations of the pirates were heard in detail, and he immediately got a lot of information:
"The Pablo Pirates encountered a storm and suffered heavy losses!"
"Blackbeard intends to march to the Golden Sea and fight the pirate prince. His ultimate goal must be to occupy the pirate king's city and become a new generation of pirate king!"
"The Eastern Route has recently received a wave of fat sheep. Rumor has it that a caravan plundered a whole shipload of gold and silver from the East!"
"The Octopus Pirates are back again, and they have regained their place! Their original third officer Orlando, who was unexpectedly a real figure, has now become the leader of the pirates, and has replaced the Shark Pirates who had previously driven them away. All of them were destroyed. At this time, there are three large ships, the official bounty has reached 20,000 gold galleons, and the name of Magician Orlando is spreading throughout the Nightmare Sea... "
"I swear, I really saw the Big Octopus and the big octopus on the dock just now! It seemed to have abandoned its original owner and became Orlando's contract partner!"
…
Various messages came, but the last one made Fang Yuan couldn't help but listen to it a few more times.
"The Octopus Pirates, I've heard of them!"
This matter was not as scrupulous as the news about Blackbeard. The pirates were talking loudly. Bill also heard it and whispered to Fang Yuandao: "Their ship is the Big Octopus. It is rumored that the previous leader has the ability to summon giant octopus. But he was severely ambushed by the Fierce Shark Pirates and had to retreat to the sea to recuperate. Unexpectedly, he rose again so quickly... "
A pirate who only owns one pirate ship is not at the same level as a pirate who owns three ships.
Of course, Fang Yuan only had a short rise and lacked manpower. He had to dispose of the Mockingjay and Rose Merchant Ship he owned before.
But in the real pirate port, it can be supplemented.
The Nightmare Sea is a paradise for pirates.
Here, as long as you are famous enough and have enough gold galleons, you can just call and a large number of pirates will flock to you.
Although the quality is very questionable, the momentum is definitely very impressive.
"Unexpectedly... Orlando is also here this time. His level should be higher than mine, right? But it's no use..."
Fang Yuan was indifferent to the pirate system in his body.
After all, he needs strength and can pray to the true body without any cost.
But Orlando had to honestly complete the various tasks assigned by him, and experienced countless things before he finally changed his profession and became a magician.
"He should also go to the auction this time, right? It won't work if it goes on like this. Donald's plan still needs the cooperation of pirates..."
Fang Yuan thought lightly, finished dinner slowly, and announced the disbandment for free activities.
After receiving this order, Bill and the butcher immediately entangled several gorgeous escort girls with gleaming eyes, while Wilson scurried out like a rabbit.
…
Early the next morning, Fang Yuan saw Wilson, who was looking ashen and defeated, sitting on the bar drinking wine.
"What? It didn't work?"
Fang Yuan frowned.
Wilson had the previous dividends, and he had borrowed some yesterday, so he had already collected a thousand gold galleons, which would be enough for not only one but ten slaves.
"Yes… "
Wilson's face was full of bitterness, and he ordered another glass of the strongest "lava" and drank it down: "That damn slave merchant Sisfrey, when he saw that Helga was my friend, he actually sat down and raised the price for me. Fifteen hundred gold galleons! Otherwise, Helga will be sold to the black mines!"
"Come on!"
Fang Yuan rolled his eyes: "Helga is, after all, a high-level talent who has mastered navigation skills. If he is sold as a hard worker in a mine, I'm afraid it will only be worth a few gold galleons, and he will lose all his money."
"Boss, can you..."
Wilson spoke with some embarrassment: "Lend me another five hundred gold galleons...I will definitely pay you back, and Helga, his ability is very useful! Aren't we missing a navigator on the ship?"
"That's true, but I don't want to get ripped off!"
Fang Yuan had a hunch that if he came to his door like this, the profiteer might even raise the price.
As for the backends of these big slave traders, most of them are related to Blackbeard, so they have nothing to fear at all.
"Instead of doing this, it is better to wait until the auction... With the greed of that businessman, maybe the slave will not be auctioned in the end, so there will be no problem! And I promise that if there is a competitor, I will definitely snatch him away Come down."
Fang Yuan didn't want to be taken advantage of.
"well… "
Wilson nodded: "That's the only thing we can do, poor Helga!"
"What happened this time is also a lesson to him. Also, private gambling is strictly prohibited on my ship, unless notarized by the captain and first mate! As a way to resolve disputes!"
Fang Yuan casually added one more rule to his own rules.
…
The largest auction house in the port is called Bloody Mary, and it is rumored to be Blackbeard's own property.
When Fang Yuan and two of his men came over escorting the auction items, the auction meeting had not yet begun.
"You dirty, despicable pirate, how dare you sell me as a slave... I swear in the name of Elizabeth, I will definitely take revenge on you!"
At this time, Elizabeth looked haggard, but still looked like an angry lioness.
Of course, in Fang Yuan's eyes, this image is no different from a kitten with fried fur.
"Miss Elizabeth, your value seems to be beyond my expectation..."
Fang Yuan stared at Elizabeth, but he meant something.
The marriage of two mere viscounts actually allowed Viscount Dearborn to break the original rules and eventually lead to the destruction of the family. Of course, the potential influence of Elizabeth cannot be underestimated.
However, with Donald as his insider, Fang Yuan also knew many things.
If the blackmail wasn't really too troublesome, he would have really planned to blackmail Viscount Charles.
"Your Excellency, I am the appraiser here!"
Just when Elizabeth was still struggling to say something, the door of the box was pushed open, and a well-dressed man who looked like a gentleman walked in and bowed slightly: "May I ask what your entrustment is..."
"That's her!"
Fang Yuan pointed towards Elizabeth: "The daughter of a viscount, Viscount Charles, who is about to marry Insman... I hope her starting price is... ten thousand gold galleons!"
"Um… "
The appraiser didn't take it seriously and looked at Elizabeth with a professional look: "Beautiful woman... a mere viscount's daughter is not worth the price. However, if the cause of the destruction of Dearborn Port is added to it, I think many people will be interested in her..."
