"how's it going?"
After the sacrifice was over, Bai Luo asked everyone to leave, while he brought in his uncle and senior sister.
"The method is correct, but the tribute is wrong," Bai Luo said, "We used the wrong sacrifice."
"Isn't it grain?"
Senior Sister said: "Then why don't we go get some cherished animals and come back."
"If you want to worship again, you have to wait a month."
Bai Luo didn't expect that there would be a punishment for failure, but thinking about it carefully, it's not bad, he can just do his own thing.
"That's right!"
The old man said: "Now that we have time, it is time to replenish the population."
Population, this is what the Adonians are desperate for right now.
With people, more children of miracles can be born.
The children of miracles can form troops and form an army. This is the foundation of protecting Aden and allowing this country to stand on the land of miracles.
"follow me."
The old uncle took the two to his home, and then found a map: "You rarely go to sea before, and you don't know much about the surrounding area. This map was obtained when I was on an adventure in my early years."
"Look, our Adun Island is probably located at this location."
"Forehead..."
Bai Luo found that the chart was empty: "Our island is not marked on the chart?"
"Don't dislike it, it's good to have it, and it's a little behind to be behind," the old uncle nodded his head: "But things exist here."
"Too."
Bai Luo: "Uncle, continue."
"We are in the southeast of Miracle Continent."
The old uncle marked the location of the Iron Eagle Kingdom and Adun Island: "And to the southwest of us, there is an archipelago country called the Principality of Azure."
"To get to the place closest to us in the Principality of Azure, we need to drive the fastest warship, and a round trip will take at least half a month."
"Tie Ying, Wei Lan, around our Adun Island, this large sea area is called the Eastern Sea Area," said the old man, "The power of the pirate king Morgan is entrenched here."
"What do you think, Xiao Luo?"
Facing the old uncle's question, Bai Luo's answer was: "Surrounded by three sides, the geographical location of Aden Island can not only connect to the ancient capital Shiluen, but also continue westward to the Kingdom of Mountains and the Holy Empire further west. ."
"If you go from the east to the north, you will be able to pass through the sea area of the Bright Principality, reach the Far North Empire, and trade with the cities there."
"I don't need to say Xiangnan. Although I haven't been to the Blue Principality, I have heard of its name."
Azure is only a principality though.
According to my uncle, a principality is a country with 3 types of miracles, but no more than 7 types.
This country, on the land of miracles, calls itself a 'permanent neutral country' and has also been recognized by many countries.
"The Principality of Azure is very big. We, it's best not to provoke this behemoth for the time being."
As far as Uncle's experience is concerned, in the next ten years, they should not confront the Blue Principality head-on, which is too irrational.
"What about Morgan, Xiao Luo, what do you think?"
"this..."
Bai Luo thought about it, he felt that he would definitely go to war with Morgan, and the two had already forged a grudge.
"Fya?"
"Dad, what you want to say should be that you want us to replace Morgan?"
Senior Sister's words immediately made Bai Luo realize: "So it turns out, since Morgan can occupy the Eastern Sea, then if we defeat Morgan, changing the pirate king will not affect the balance of the sea."
"It's a challenge, but it's also an opportunity."
"good."
Seeing the complementarity between Bai Luo and Senior Sister, the old uncle is very relieved that there are two people in Aden's future: "But this is just a theoretical plan. It can't be completed by one or two battles."
"This sea area is too big. Even if we want to take it down, we must seize the opportunity."
The old uncle has been discussing countermeasures with the two old men these days. The three of them are like Aton's humerus minister.
Bai Luo lacked political and military experience, so he knew very well who to ask for opinions and how to make decisions on such a big strategic layout.
"Will there be a war soon?"
"It's definitely going to be a fight," the old uncle replied to Bai Luo, "but we must first understand why we want to fight this battle."
"You mean Sigrian?"
"It's him, but also Morgan, the pirate king."
The old man said: "Now, we don't know the strength of the other party's troops. It is very unwise to start a war hastily."
Fighting ordinary pirates, it doesn't matter.
But if you encounter an army composed of miracle arms, with the current Aton, to be honest, even if you can win, you will definitely lose a lot.
"Where is our interest, old man?"
Bai Luo is a rational person. The purpose of war is profit. If there is no profit, Bai Luo will not fight.
"Time, and deterrence."
The old man said: "Our war with Sigrian is to gain more time, and at the same time let them know that we Aden are not easy to mess with."
As for taking the initiative, kill Morgan. . .
Even if Bai Luo possesses three miracles, he gets too little time.
Even though Bai Luo's efficiency is ten times that of Morgan, but Morgan has achieved miracles for 200 years, how can his accumulation be unshakable by today's Bai Luo
"Of course, we can't fight Morgan for the time being, but Sigrian's army, he is not the main force of Morgan, is only one-sixth."
"As long as you choose the right battlefield and defeat Sigrian, it's not difficult."
These days, the three elders have been discussing where to choose the battlefield, and now there is quite a bit of progress, just waiting for Sigrian to deliver.
"Morgan's business, we are not in a hurry for the time being."
"Our next priority is to go to the Azure Principality."
"Don't attract the attention of the miracle lord over there," the old uncle said, "Our target is those slave traders."
Yes, slave traders.
Aden needed population, and the best source of population was the slaves who had lost their homes because of the war.
Because they lost their homes, they lost their freedom and identity.
After arriving in Aden, as long as Bai Luo treats them kindly, Aden will soon become their only destination.
Bai Luo doesn't want pirates because these people have bad behavior and have too many problems.
Since you want to buy it, if you can choose at will, it is better to buy some civilians, or young people.
"Maybe some of them will have bad intentions, but most of them should be willing to integrate into Aden."
There are always ungrateful people.
The old man did not hope that he could assimilate everyone, but even if the assimilation rate was only 70%, Bai Luo was satisfied.
"Find these slave traders and establish trade with them."
"Sell us slaves," the uncle said. "The price is 20% to 30% higher, or even double the price. We can all accept it."
The existence of the budding holy bag is like giving Aden an endless gold mine.
Their output, those spices, is definitely not comparable to the consumption of this world.
After all, it takes time to transport slaves. As long as Bailuo and the others maintain the export volume of the trade, not only will the price of black pepper not drop much, but also due to the demand of more people, small profits but quick turnover.
More importantly, this is a monopoly!
If it is low, sell less, if it is high, export more.
The price, isn't it they have the final say
"Black pepper is difficult to grow, and it has too high demands on the environment," said the uncle, "so in the next period, Xiao Luo, pour out more black peppers, and we will dry them and make them into black peppers. pink."
Doing this also avoids the problem of recalculation due to the moisture inside the black pepper.
"good."
The drying of black pepper is actually very simple, with Lilith's fairy magic, a matter of minutes.
So the next day, everyone loaded boxes of black peppers onto the warship.
The ship was left by the pirates, but it was transformed by Lilith with some goblin magic.
From the appearance alone, they are so different from before that it is impossible to recognize them.
"Everyone, are you all on board?"
There are 6 members in this operation.
Male, there are Bai Luo, John Jr. and Anderson.
In addition, three women were brought along, namely the cook Imeter, Bai Luo's secretary Gonia, and Norse's sister Fiora.
Gonia is very smart and has a very high IQ.
With her around, Bai Luo won't be played by numbers.
If there is a problem with the price offered by the other party, as long as Gonia says a word, Bai Luo will definitely let the other party know how serious the consequences of deceiving the Adonites are.
In addition to these people, the old uncle, senior sister, Iniya and others stayed on Aden Island.
And Lilith, who is going to continue teaching the children magic.
Of course, Bai Luo will bring Xue Li.
And according to the relationship between the miracle creature and its master, as long as Bai Luo summons, Lilith will immediately come to Bai Luo's side.
The only problem is that once summoned, Lilith has to stay outside with Bai Luo, and then go home by boat.
Lilith needed to stay to defend Aden Island, so Bai Luo tried not to summon her if she could not be summoned.
"Is that all we have?"
Little John expressed his puzzlement, and Anderson also looked at Bai Luo. He was a newcomer and came here for the first time.
I saw the tree elf boy wearing a white cloth on his head, dressed as the third brother - this was to cover his ears.
Bai Luo brought Anderson out because Anderson wanted to come out to see, to improve his knowledge, and to help Bai Luo do more things in the future.
Although it was risky, Bai Luo was very willing to train his subordinates, so he readily accepted his request.
"This one."
Bai Luo explained, "We go out on a big ship, not to buy slaves back, but to order from slave merchants first."
Slaves are often not purchased directly from slave traders. They will be transported to slave markets everywhere, handed over to slave owners, and then resold.
Bai Luo can naturally go to the slave market.
But it's too chaotic there, and people have to go out to sea again and again, and it's such a large amount that it will cause trouble sooner or later.
"What we're doing is a long-term business, not one or two."
Bai Luo's plan was to find the slave ship and trade directly with their boss.
Pay the deposit first, and then establish the initial trade trust.
"Choosing an island by the sea, rather than going to the Blue Ocean City in the Blue Principality, will benefit both of us."
The slave trader is to reduce taxes, and Bai Luo, he is for safety: "Now let's see who has the guts and is willing to do business with us."
In a word, money is not an issue.
The Adonites are bad at everything except money.
Bai Luo: Yes, I have mines at home!
"captain."
Gonia changed her name, this was Bai Luo's request: "Although money is not an issue, it shouldn't be taken advantage of by others."
"Uh, yes."
Bai Luo is not good at doing business: "Then I'll leave it to you. Anyway, when the time comes, Gonia, you can talk, and I will help you support the scene."
"Ok."
There is a specialization in the art industry. Gonia has been educated by her old uncle for many years. Although she is still far behind her old uncle, she also got three or four points of true biography.
"And us, and us!"
The three cute kittens were chasing and fighting on the deck, only Bai Luo could hear their words, and in the ears of others, there was only the lovely sound of 'meow meow'.
"We are also super fierce!"
The three kittens are posing as poss, and they have the potential to become the three generals of the Aden Army Headquarters.
"Prosperity, civilization, harmony, freedom, justice, dedication..."
The rats held up unknown pests and chanted the slogan that Bai Luo had said, indicating that they had a good job.
"Ah."
Bai Luo nodded at them, and then announced to the crowd: "The anchor is lifted, let's go! Go to Coral City!"
