With some questions in his mind, Ferner set off under Rogge's arrangement.
And Rogge has set his sights on the current Black Tide Secret Society territory.
After several years passed, coupled with the already rapid development, the entire territory of the Black Tide Secret Society naturally underwent earth-shaking changes.
The most noticeable thing is the architectural style on the island, which has changed from the original medieval stone architectural style to neatly arranged wooden buildings. The black smoke from the factory also rises slowly and merges into the sky.
As life became more affluent and satisfying, most people's clothing styles and lifestyles also changed accordingly, and there were more and more gentlemen and ladies dressed in luxurious and elegant clothes.
Among them were wealthy businessmen who made their fortunes locally, as well as adventurers who made a fortune by going out to sea.
Although Rogge had things to do, he was not in a hurry. After all, it would be too hasty to leave right after waking up from a deep sleep.
He took Lina shopping and chatting while looking at the ever-developing island.
During these years, although Rogge was able to accompany Lina through his descended body, this kind of non-physical companionship still lacked something.
Well... Roger has almost made up for what he lacked in the past two days...
"Mira's library is just ahead." Lina blinked, her face flushed and radiant, and pointed to a large building in front.
After entering the building, the two soon saw someone they knew at the front desk.
"Captain Roger? Are you awake?" Cuddy said with some surprise.
Rogge shrugged. "There are many things to come. If I don't wake up, I'm afraid I'll die in my dream... How is the construction of the Great Library going?"
Kadi scratched his head. "The construction is going very smoothly, and the collection of books is not bad either, but... Mira doesn't seem to be satisfied with it, and she is not on the island now. She is out."
Having said that, he spread his hands helplessly.
To be honest, his original plan was not to help Mira guard this big library.
But there was no way out. This girl actually used King Radi's reputation as a threat and forced him to help.
There was no other way, so Cuddy could only stay in the library for the time being, planning to leave after his biography was completed.
Hearing that Mira was not in the library, Rogge closed his eyes and used his huge mental power to carefully scan every corner and every book.
Soon, all the book information in the entire library flowed into his mind.
Of course, it is just the memory part, and I have a rough understanding of the classification and content of these books.
If Roger wants to fully understand the contents of all the books, he will probably need some time.
After all, this is quite possibly the largest library in the entire Sea of Confessions.
After chatting with Kadi for a while.
Roger took Lina away.
Mira and Nomi are not on Scot Island right now. The former is out for something, while the latter is because Sphentos is holding a food party...
While strolling on the street.
Rogge was actually also observing the appearance of the entire Scott city area.
Well, thanks to the relative popularity of potion technology, at least there is enough food to supply the population of the island.
but…
Roger suddenly frowned and looked at a small alley in front of him.
In this alley, huddled together a group of ragged, skinny children.
Their eye sockets were sunken, and their expressions were filled with fatigue and numbness.
However, in front of them was a middle-aged beggar who was equally thin but had a very fierce look in his eyes, and was constantly scolding them.
"What are you hesitating about? Just because that girl treats you well, you don't dare to do it? Have you ever thought about what your sister should eat tonight?"
"These damn rich people would not give us even a little bit of their surplus food even if they threw it on the ground, crushed it and threw it into the stinking ditch. If we want to survive, we must be ruthless!"
“But… when we beg, there are still many people who will give us food…” the scolded boy said in a low voice.
The middle-aged beggar heard this, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, but he still acted very angry: "You stinky boy, how dare you refute?"
“Can you make sure everyone gives you food?”
"Putting your hope of survival on others is the beginning of death!"
Seeing this scene, Rogge was silent.
Judging from the expressions of this middle-aged beggar and these children, they seem to have been beggars for a long time.
And this middle-aged beggar was undoubtedly trying to teach these children how to survive with all their might.
"What's wrong with you?" Lina looked at his expression and asked with some confusion.
Roger shook his head slightly.
He didn't feel regretful or blame himself for not doing anything right after seeing this scene, but he just felt a little emotional.
It seems that no matter what kind of world it is, as long as there are people and society, there will be exploitation and oppression.
Of course, Rogge was also quite relieved, because he had been walking around for so long and had only seen the scene in this small alley.
Apart from that, there are a few lazy people and vagrants, but they have fallen to this state because of their own reasons.
What Rogge needs to solve are some external reasons.
Even if these external reasons were small and just thoughts, he would strangle them to death.
Just as he was thinking.
A little beggar just walked out of the alley. After taking a glimpse at Rogge and Lina's clothes, he quietly approached them.
As the two passed each other, Roger grabbed his hand with the blade.
"I don't have any money in my pocket. Here's the money."
After saying that, Rogge slapped the gold coins into the little beggar's palm in front of his horrified eyes, making him feel extremely stunned.
"Answer some of my questions and these gold coins will be yours, how about that?"
Rogge squatted down and looked at him with a smile.
The little beggar looked at the mysterious young man in front of him, and a sense of trust and hope rose in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly spoke...
…
Bang!
With a loud bang, the door of the Chamber of Commerce was violently kicked open. One after another, Black Tide Knights holding greatswords and wearing black knight armor filed in and soon blocked the entire Chamber of Commerce.
Several armed Chamber of Commerce guards were knocked unconscious and thrown aside before they even had time to resist.
Jim, the Chamber of Commerce boss who was dressed brightly and handsomely, was a little stunned at first, and then he became angry and furious.
Who is so blind as to pick a fight with me
But when he saw the black armor and knight swords of the people coming, the anger that had just ignited in his heart was instantly extinguished like a basin of cold water, and was replaced by endless panic and fear.
This, this, this... This is the secret meeting of the Black Tide Knights!
Why did you come to my Chamber of Commerce
Is someone colluding with the heretical church behind my back, or is someone performing some shady evil ritual? !
A few drops of cold sweat rolled down Jim's round face as he racked his brains to think of all the possibilities.
Click… Click…
Just as his brain was working frantically, there was a sound of iron boots stepping on the ground, and several tall Black Tide Knights surrounded a young man in a black robe and slowly walked into the Chamber of Commerce.
Black Tide followers! Secret society members!
Jim actually felt relieved when he saw the young man.
Because in his opinion, since all the believers of the Black Tide Secret Society have come, there is a high probability that there are some matters related to supernatural powers that need to be dealt with.
He asked himself if he had done anything wrong.
First, I have not colluded with any churches outside the area, and second, I have not performed any evil rituals. I have a clear conscience!
"Lord of the Black Tide, Mr. Believer, I wonder what business you have in visiting our Chamber of Commerce. I will definitely cooperate with you to the fullest extent..."
Jim, with an extremely flattering look on his face, was interrupted by Roger's calm eyes before he could finish his words.
"Are you Jim, the boss of Jim's Chamber of Commerce?"
Hearing this, Jim didn't think much about it and continued to smile flatteringly: "Yes, yes, I run this..."
"take away."
After Rogge uttered two words lightly, he turned his head.
This left Jim dumbfounded. He was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.
Even his brain crashed for a moment before he came to his senses and yelled, "Sir! Sir! There must be some misunderstanding. I am a law-abiding citizen! Why are you arresting me?"
"I have neither colluded with any other churches nor participated in any evil rituals. You have arrested the wrong person. I can help you find him..."
Jim struggled and yelled.
But Rogge and his group of Black Tide Knights ignored him completely.
His shouting attracted the attention of many passers-by.
"What's going on? Who's yelling?"
“Isn’t this Jim, the boss of Jim’s Chamber of Commerce? This fat leech seems to have violated the law and was arrested. Hum… he deserves it!”
"Hmm... Just relying on this guy Jim, he actually made the Black Tide Knight take action personally?"
"There seems to be a craftsman repairing something up ahead. Let's go over and take a look..."
It has to be said that watching the fun is human nature.
Although out of trust in the Black Tide Secret Society, most people did not think that Jim was wronged without knowing the actual situation, but they were not averse to joining in the fun.
Jim's shouting soon attracted a large crowd of people, who gathered around curiously to watch.
Jim Chamber of Commerce is quite famous in the East City District of Scott, and many people know him.
However, although this person has a smooth personality, he is extremely stingy when it comes to money, and people who have worked with him don't have a very good opinion of him.
"Let me tell you, Jim used to be as skinny as a bamboo pole. He couldn't eat enough every meal and was often dizzy from hunger. But after the secret meeting, he first traded with merchant ships, and then saved money to open his own chamber of commerce. His business is getting bigger and bigger... Haha, he's also gaining more and more fat."
Someone started chatting about Jim's past.
It is obvious that this is a wealthy businessman who has risen from an ordinary citizen to where he is today.
At this time, Roger and others also arrived at their destination with Jim.
"I have taken care of your request, sir."
An old craftsman took off his gloves, brushed the dust off his hands, and smiled at Rogge.
"Thank you, this is your reward."
After handing the money to the old craftsman, Rogge looked at the row of street lights in front of him and nodded slightly. He was indeed an old craftsman who had drunk the magic potion and worked quickly.
At this moment, Jim looked at the strong rope hanging under the street light and had a bad feeling in his heart.
After a pause, he began to frantically protest his injustice.
Well... he was indeed wronged, because he still doesn't know why he was arrested.
He couldn't think of any reason why the Black Tide Secret Society would go out of their way to capture him, except that their subordinates were colluding with some evil god...
“It’s unfair!”
"I am a law-abiding citizen and have never done anything against the law. Why are you arresting me? Is it because I am a commoner with no background?"
Jim attributed the reason to his own background and began to look at the crowd around him.
"Everyone says that the Black Tide Society is fair and just and never wrongly accuses anyone, but in my opinion... Humph!"
Jim snorted coldly. He actually had something more hurtful to say, but he was also afraid of directly angering the people in the Black Tide Secret Society, so he restrained himself.
However, the sarcasm in his words remained unchanged.
"Why?" Roger looked at him and smiled: "You will know soon."
Not long after, Lina also came over with a group of Black Tide Knights and their men.
In addition, there are several other people, most of whom are well-dressed business owners who control most of the trade on the island.
However, one of them was relatively young, and was even wearing the attire of a follower of the Black Tide Secret Society.
The moment Jim looked at these people, his face froze.
But then, his face turned pale in an instant, as if he remembered something. His lips moved, but he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Now do you know why I want to arrest you?"
Roger stared at him.
"You bastards, you're not doing overseas trade, you're not making a lot of gold coins, you're teaming up to monopolize, lowering after-sales costs, driving up food prices, and oppressing civilians..."
Rogge walked forward, stretched out his hand and tugged at the fat flesh on his face, and said coldly: "It is said that businessmen pursue profits and even ignore the risks and do whatever it takes..."
"But why don't you guys dare to go out to sea to trade?"
"Haha, I know. Because your worth has become more delicate, and sailing to the sea is risky. Although you can't earn much by bullying the weak and afraid of the strong on the island, you don't have to take too much risk, right?"
Jim's face turned pale and he didn't dare to speak at all. The fear in his heart was almost overflowing and his body couldn't stop shaking.
"And you..." Rogge turned his gaze to the youngest person in the group, who was wearing the robe of a Black Tide believer. "If I remember correctly, you are one of the young men who volunteered at the beginning. Your name is Parrick. Am I remember correctly?"
"Well, that's good. It's great that when you become a believer master, you forget that you were once a commoner."
Roger nodded as if in encouragement.
When the young man heard the word "Parik" coming out of Roger's mouth, he was struck by lightning.
Unexpectedly... the archbishop still remembered his name clearly!
This made Parikh, who was already feeling extremely ashamed, feel even more remorseful and filled with endless bitterness.
As one of the young people who was favored at the beginning, he now used the trust of the secret society in him as a tool to help the evil and protect these parasites.
"I, I... I'm sorry... I'm sorry to you... I'm sorry to everyone..."
In an instant, it was as if Parekh's soul had been sucked out of him. His body became weak and his voice trembled.
For his reaction.
Rogge just silently withdrew his gaze and glanced at the guys in front of him.
"If you think there is no risk in doing this, let me tell you..."
“That’s totally wrong!”
After saying that, Rogge looked at the Black Tide Knights standing in a row at the back, ready for battle, and gave orders in a cold voice.
"Write their crimes and evidence on this notice board for everyone to see."
"Then hang these filthy termites on the street lamps and beat them hard!"
"yes!"
The well-trained Black Tide Knights acted quickly and quickly killed off the Chamber of Commerce bosses one after another.
Then, under Rogge's command, a group of knights took out whips and began to whip these guys like tops.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
“Ah!” “Ah!” “Damn it!” “It hurts!”
The sound of whipping and screams were heard continuously.
"good!"
The people around were overwhelmed with emotion and felt extremely relieved when they heard this.
Accompanied by a shrill scream, Jim, the fattest guy, was the first to faint from the pain.
"Wait a minute." Seeing this, Rogge suddenly stopped and then said calmly, "Apply the potion."
"Coat the whips with quick-healing potion before beating them."
The Black Tide Knights are very strong, and it would be a great relief for them if they accidentally killed these guys.
Apply the Su Liao potion and heal while fighting!
Hearing what Rogge said, a group of Chamber of Commerce bosses suddenly widened their eyes in horror.
Fighting and healing at the same time?! What kind of devil are you? Just kill me!!
One ball a day!
