Hearing Sylvie's order, everyone present felt astonished and turned their heads to look at Suleman.
They never imagined that the young captain of the Black Cross cut off a third of the gold bars in the box and handed them to Magellan in front of everyone. You know, this is not a small sum!
This is the "life money" handed over to the Black Cross by Adolf Ship Industry. It is conceivable that the number of gold bars in this box will definitely not be low. No one is willing to take their own life as a joke.
What's more, the people present are not blind. They can guess the amount of wealth in the box from the thickness of the box and the density of the gold bars. This is the professionalism of the pirates. Because of this, their The expression is exaggerated.
This box has at least nearly 200,000 gold pounds. In conversion, Suleman can get more than 60,000 gold pounds as a reward!
Sixty thousand gold pounds is enough to be called an astronomical sum.
Even for Tier 3 powerhouses, this amount of wealth can allow them to gamble their lives and seek wealth regardless of life and death.
Just talking about the amount is not enough to describe the image. For example, there are a large number of civilized city-states in the northern cold land, and there are also ancient nobles who founded the city-states. Their family leaders still hold titles in the records of the church, which is also the ranking of the strength of the ancient nobles. Among them, even the richest duke level, their annual income is only 30,000-40,000 gold pounds. It takes two years to find out. Earn 60,000 gold pounds.
Of course, these annual incomes are not the entire wealth of the ancient nobles. Their assets are mainly concentrated in land, bonds, and stock investments in a large number of companies. That is the source of their wealth, and it is not included in their annual income.
Even so, the annual income of the noble duke is also astonishing, but it is only equivalent to half of Suleman's reward. It is conceivable what kind of concept is 60,000 gold pounds, this wealth can make ordinary people squander The rest of my life.
It is worthy of the Adolf Shipping Industry's family property, and the wealth obtained in exchange is the accumulation of generations in [Angry Shark Harbor]. one.
As soon as Sylvie's words fell, Suleman felt the complex emotions of envy, jealousy, and even hatred in the nearby sight.
However, due to the existence of Sylvie, none of them dared to be too explicit. They looked at Suleman carefully one by one, and guessed his relationship with Sylvie. What is the relationship between the two? Let the latter be willing to give this large amount of wealth directly to him
Compared to other people's guesses, there was no joy on Suerman's face, as if he wasn't the one who received the gift. All he saw was that Suerman calmly looked at the gray-haired girl, as if waiting for her next words.
Sure enough, seeing his attitude, Sylvie raised her eyebrows slightly, showing some appreciation—
"Next, you will stay in the Black Cross to work. From now on, you will have nothing to do with Adolf Shipbuilding."
"New crew member of the Black Cross, this is your future identity."
Sylvie narrated slowly, her tone undeniable.
During the whole process, she didn't ask the other party's opinion at all, and acted domineeringly, as if she was sure of the result.
It turned out to be like this. Everyone suddenly realized and understood Sylvie's true intentions. The 60,000 gold pounds was not given to him for nothing, but to buy the other party's freedom of life, so that 'Magellan' became a member of the Black Cross. Follow her orders.
In this way, it may not be cost-effective.
Even if 60,000 gold pounds is an astronomically huge amount of money, it is worth taking a risk for a third-tier powerhouse, but the price is his permanent freedom, so it is not worth it. After all, the former is at most a life-and-death risk, while the latter is losing freedom for life and becoming a thug under the command of others. These are completely two concepts. Sometimes, living in pain is more torture than death.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at 'Magellan' no longer with envy, and all of them were faintly teased. Even if you are a strong person at the level of 'Member of Amnesty', so what if you are stronger than us
In the end, didn't he submit obediently and become a thug supported by the Black Cross
Everyone is on an equal footing, and they are all crew members. Even, they joined the pirate group earlier and have more status than 'Magellan'. Unless the other party survives the observation period and is promoted to a high-level pirate group, they can rely on their third-level strength to be qualified to order them
Sylvie ignored their petty actions. This was a characteristic tradition of the pirate group. The old crew bullied the newcomer, even if the other party was a 'third-tier powerhouse'. With her in charge, the newcomer would not be able to cause any trouble.
The next moment, Sylvie looked at the people in Adolf Shipyard, staring directly at Quentin—
"I recruit new crew members, do you have any objections?"
Quentin froze for a moment, and then realized that the 'new crew' mentioned by the other party was referring to 'Magellan'.
Immediately, a bit of hesitation appeared on his face. To be honest, Adolf Shipyard was able to hook up with a strong wild man who had been promoted to the third level, which was very beneficial to his own position, and he didn't want to let 'Magellan' get away from them.
For example, maintain a good relationship between the two parties. In the future, under the arrangement of the Black Cross, they will be active again in the sea of ashes. At this time, they will have an ally of the "Member of Amnesty".
Whether entrusting the other party or deterring the enemy, there is a huge room for manipulation.
However, once 'Magellan' joined the Black Cross Pirates, he did not act alone. He represented the will of the Black Cross. Therefore, he could not be allowed to act alone, which also meant that Quentin lost a foreign aid.
At most, he would go to the Black Cross Group and ask for assistance from the other party, whether the latter will help him or not depends on his mood.
So from the bottom of my heart, Quentin didn't want 'Magellan' to join the Black Cross. Unfortunately, Sylvie's words were so clear that Quentin didn't have the guts to refuse, and he didn't have the qualifications to refuse him.
"Of course, all of this is Lord Red Rose's private matter."
"It has nothing to do with me, how can I have objections?"
Quentin hurriedly apologized, and immediately distanced himself from 'Magellan', for fear of getting into some trouble.
Sylvie nodded slightly, as if she was very satisfied with the answer. In fact, Quentin didn't know a little bit. Sylvie believed that Adolf Shipyard had secretly contacted 'Magellan' long ago and was also their collaborator.
But in fact, the acquaintance between Suleman and Adolf Shipyard has only been a few days, and it is far from what outsiders see, just like they came prepared. This is an error in information, including Sylvie. In the dark.
So by accident, everyone in Adolf Shipyard was beaten up in this way, and even the person who was beaten was still dizzy and didn't know what happened.
I don't even know what blame he was responsible for, which caused Sylvie's impression of them to plummet.
"Set sail and prepare to return to our stronghold."
Sylvie was about to turn around and give orders, when suddenly, an unharmonious voice sounded from her side.
"The captain seems to be."
"You haven't asked my opinion yet?"
Suleman took the initiative to speak, and asked the gray-haired girl in a calm tone.
Before the words fell, the surrounding pirates were stunned. They seemed to smell fishy sharks, and turned their heads one by one, looking at Suleman with disbelief. How many days have passed? No one dared to go against her will. From the day the gray-haired girl boarded the pirate group, the other party used force to suppress the entire ship and established her dominance on the ship.
What's more, she also showed the strength of the fourth tier, a genuine dawn powerhouse. Under such circumstances, that 'newcomer' dared to question Sylvie's decision? Is he desperate, or just plain crazy
This thought resounded in everyone's heart.
"you?"
Sylvie's eyebrows tightened, and she showed a bit of playfulness, as if she thought it was very interesting, so she simply asked: "What is your opinion? After I give you a full 60,000 gold pounds, you plan to How to repay it?"
The implication is that Sylvie does not allow the other party to refuse her gift, so she can only agree.
As for how to repay the 'debt', that is also 'Magellan's' personal issue, which has nothing to do with her in the main body.
"These are not enough. If you want me to join the Black Cross, you still need to agree to one condition."
Su Erman looked directly at the other party, his eyes kept wandering, capturing every detail of Sylvie in his eyes, and he still couldn't help but praise the other party after careful scrutiny, except for the wheat-colored skin, she was almost a perfect girl. Even in the eyes of some people, girls with wheat-colored skin are more attractive and more in line with their aesthetics.
After all, this is a 'healthy' color, and it is also full of youthful vitality.
When Suleman looked at him carefully, his words matched his actions, which fell into the eyes of others, and immediately caused an uproar. For a while, the nearby pirates looked at him very unfriendly——
"One more condition needs to be agreed? Sir, do you take yourself too seriously?"
"I admit that Tier 3 powerhouses are very powerful, but our great captain also killed many powerhouses with his own hands. They are all about the same strength as you. You have to be careful to be the next one!"
"Who are you sending it to?"
Some pirates were cynical, while some pirate brothers were more forthright, swearing on the spot, simple and rude, and extremely practical, which fit their status and class.
Sylvie raised her hand suddenly, and seeing her actions, many pirates chose to keep their mouths shut as if their mouths had been zipped.
It can be seen that Sylvie has a high prestige among them, and she immediately banned it, almost forming an instinctive reaction. You must know that this is not a group of ordinary people, but the most disorganized pirates. Their jurisdiction is several times more difficult than normal people, which is the opposite extreme from trained soldiers.
"Tell me about your conditions."
Sylvie raised her little hands, gently curling her long silver-gray hair, with a playful look on her pretty face.
It was as if a cat was playing tricks on a mouse because she was sure of winning, so she was not in a hurry to make a move, and wanted to see what tricks this 'Magellan' was going to play.
As a result, Suleman met the other party's eyes and said words that surprised them—
"My request is very simple, if you beat me in the duel, I will join the Black Cross and serve you as the Lord"
"This is my additional condition."
Hiss. The nearby pirates gasped, almost thinking that their ears had auditory hallucinations, or that their brains were flooded to get such a bizarre answer? !
After playing for a long time, one of the additional conditions he asked for was to let the captain personally defeat the opponent in a duel
This... Isn't this free
Thoughts similar to each other emerged in the hearts of the pirates one after another. Maybe they didn't understand the meaning of "free gift", but a similar meaning could emerge in their minds. In short, when they heard the request of "Magellan", Every expression was dumbfounded.
At this moment, some people even wanted to ask Suleman, are you going to find a step down? So it's unnecessary to deliberately pick an opponent who can't be beaten, so that he can betray Nusha Port and take refuge in the pirate group
This... Apart from this, they can't think of any other explanation.
"good!"
Sylvie is not a procrastination person, she was the first in the audience to react, and immediately agreed to Suleman's conditions, but she did not rush to act, but looked around the deck.
At this moment, the battle on the three large ships (two ancient sailing ships + one steam cruiser) had already subsided, and they were entering the final stage of cleaning the battlefield, and Sylvie ignored them. As expected, the remaining sailing ship of the Silver Moon Church will become their spoils of war. As for the steam cruise ship, it will be reserved for everyone in Adolf Shipping Industry. Sylvie has no intention of robbing the wealth of acquaintances.
Due to the orderly evacuation, they were on the sailboat of the Silvermoon Church, coming out of the previous breach. Groups of Silvermoon members were escorted by the pirates to the cells below, and the two hulls were being separated in an orderly manner.
Withdrawing her gaze, Sylvie sized him up and said in a calm tone:
"The career path is the secret of each of us, and the ability to master the path is the secret of secrets"
"Since you plan to join the Black Cross, you certainly don't want to expose your abilities and let too many outsiders know?"
"Come with me, let's go to the duel in the secret room below, don't worry, the venue is big enough."
The seemingly indifferent words were full of extreme confidence, especially the sentence "Since you plan to join the Black Cross." Obviously, from Sylvie's perspective, Suleman asked her to fight one-on-one to make a fight. Under the steps, save some face for both parties.
Heh, men are all creatures who want face. Fortunately, my little baby is not! Sylvie muttered something silently, without giving Suleman a chance to answer, she turned around and walked towards the stairs, and ordered the others to stay on the deck, and only 'Magellan' was allowed to come down.
So, Suleman followed behind her, and the two went down the stairs, step by step to the bottom of the ship.
In an extremely wide secret room, there are empty cells around, and a mess of torture instruments.
"are you ready?"
Sylvie suddenly turned her head, her light gray pupils were quietly looking at the other party, her long gray hair was scattered behind her, as if she was out for an outing, relaxed and freehand.
