------------------------------------
I was a little stuffy inside the room.
Soren looked at the navigation chart for a while and stood up, then opened the window and blew the cold wind.
Finding a suitable pioneering point is not an easy task, because in order to explore overseas, many large guilds of tens of thousands of people failed. These are all professionals, and because they only reincarnated in the Styx after three deaths, they are less afraid of death than the indigenous people in the plot, but even so many failures are many.
You can imagine how difficult it is to develop overseas!
The difficulty of this is only one of them, because Sauron not only wants to explore overseas, but also takes this opportunity to grow to cope with the arrival of the Saint Calamity. Therefore, the geographical location he has to choose is even more special. Not only do he have to deliberately avoid the large number of indigenous people, but he also has to be able to avoid the influence of the Amazons. Otherwise, these two powerful forces would not allow him to rise, and even if he has the identities of the three pirate kings, it may not be useful, because pirates cannot defeat the army on land.
The bitter cold wind blew for a while.
Sauron waved his hand and gave orders, and a maid brought in a basin of clear water. He washed his face and moved it, and then began to observe the navigation chart, marking out the location of the town port that he had successfully resisted the attacks of the natives. These places have innate advantages, including one or two of them and mineral advantages. Although Sauron had not been active overseas for a long time, he was still quite impressed by the location where he successfully established the town power at that time.
"Here!...Here!...and here!..."
Sauron took a quill brush to make changes. The navigation chart has been marked seven or eight places, basically on the coastline, and many locations are relatively remote. Don’t underestimate the navigation chart in his hand. The value of this thing is actually quite amazing. There is no satellite positioning in this world, and the navigation chart is manually explored and drawn bit by bit. Perhaps for Sauron, one of the new pirate kings, this navigation chart is just a matter of order, but for others, especially those merchants who run sea transportation, this navigation chart is worth a thousand gold!
The topography of the Bay Islands and various safe routes are drawn without drawing.
It also records the exploration of deep-sea areas by pirates over the past few hundred years and the distribution of dangerous organisms in nearby waters, and records the activity areas of a small number of marine intelligent organisms.
It can be said that even if there are five thousand Jindlers, some merchants are willing to buy this navigation chart!
Of course, Sauron would not sell it.
Information in this era is amazing wealth. If he wants to dominate the interests of the overseas archipelago, how can he let others get involved in exploration? At present, overseas trade on the entire South Coast is traded with the Amazon region. They deal with the group of Amazon women, so their profit is only about three times. However, if they can trade with the indigenous people, the profit of the transaction can reach five times or even ten times, and some simple gadgets may exchange gold from the indigenous people.
Block it!
A slight knock on the door sounded, and the people outside seemed cautious, knowing that Sauron was thinking about something important, and was a little afraid of interrupting his thinking.
"Come in."
Sauron put down the quill pen, turned around and looked, "How is it going?"
The person entering the door was a strong man with a scar on his face, a scar on his forehead, and a scar on his chin. Just a glance, he felt that this guy was very fierce and had rich combat experience. His nickname was "Scarface". He participated in the battle of Sauron's killing of the King of Swamps and was also the pirate leader promoted later. His subordinates controlled a large ship and two small boats, and recruited about seventy or eighty subordinates.
Sauron is expanding the pirates recently!
He has won over all the gangsters from all walks of life. At present, there are nearly 1,500 pirates under his command. Among them, there are about 5000 people who are directly obedient to him. There are no way to pull out thousands of people in this world because ordinary civilians are not very effective. Soren recruited at least all thugs who have received more than five years of militia training. The weakest of such thugs can also knock down three ordinary adult men with bare hands.
As for advanced professionals, it is better not to think too much.
High-level professions in this world are all managers of one force, and at the worst they are all small leaders. Soren only has two fourth-level professions under his command, and the other highest profession level is 12, which is about the third level. There are no spell casters yet. The wizards are usually very arrogant and it is not easy to meet each other, so Soren does not have too much expectations for him. If the caster wants to make money, it is basically impossible to surrender to a pirate force, because being a pirate is too dangerous.
"Your Mightiness."
Scarface carefully handed over a stack of scrolls and said in a deep voice: "This is what I specially brought people to the City of Wealth, and found the secret magic store according to your instructions. There are a total of twenty-seven spell scrolls. The wizard in the store said that you want so many at a time and you can afford the price. A total of 26,500 Jindlers were spent."
Speaking of this, Scarface wiped the sweat from his forehead a little and continued: "The batch of goods from Viper Island has been taken away. Because the cunning merchants are eager to raise the purchase price a little, they are willing to buy it at 50% of the market price. So we also brought back 21,500 Jindler this time."
He carefully handed over a list and couldn't help swallowing.
That's a lot of money.
Twenty Jindlers weigh one pound, and twenty thousand Jindlers weigh one pound of gold.
He had never seen such a large amount of money before. If it weren't for the ruthlessness in his heart, he would have even wanted to secretly embezzle part of it. However, this idea only appeared for a moment, and then he gave up on this idea, because Sauron is now one of the three pirate kings. He believed that he would have a greater future in his service under Sauron, so there was no need to reduce his position in your heart. Last time, a man secretly embezzled goods, and was discovered by you and hung directly on the mast.
"very good."
Soren picked up the list and looked at the thin man behind the scar face. The guy shook his head slightly, and a smile appeared on Soren's face and said, "You are doing a good job! Take someone to get 500 Jindlers. This is for you. Go out and have some fun and relax. We will go out to sea in a while!"
Naturally, he would not let these subordinates do whatever they wanted, and every leader had his eyes around him.
If Sauron explores overseas, his connection with the mainland will inevitably be weakened, so he needs to prepare a lot of things, including the spell scrolls he needs to learn in the future. This thing is too expensive, and there are hundreds of Jindlers at every turn. Sometimes one high-level spell scroll with the fifth ring or above is seven or eight thousand Jindlers. Although Sauron is rich, he doesn't have much money to buy whatever he wants. It's not easy to draw about 30,000 Jindlers to buy spell scrolls.
Unless he completely abandons the situation on the South Coast, he must draw funds to maintain it.
This batch of spell scrolls has been enough for a while!
Soren has no energy to replace any extraordinary equipment yet, because this thing is too rare and expensive. Because he needs to cast spells, he doesn't even wear leather armor, and his demand for other equipment is mainly focused on the most expensive rings, jewelry, jewelry, belts, etc. This kind of equipment is always thousands or tens of thousands of Jindlers, and it is quite difficult to buy it. He doesn't have so much money and time now.
You don’t have to worry about spending money!
This is still a coastal area. If you go to the Wizard City, you can get a wizard on the street for more than tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan, and a slightly more awesome magician will have a stake of hundreds of thousands. In the Wizard City, you can buy it in minutes, even a million Jindlers. [A Wizard Tower.]
Naturally, Sauron did not have the ability to spend in the Wizards City, so he had never thought about buying legendary equipment that was scary for the time being.
……………………
Scarface couldn't help but show a hint of surprise when he heard Soren's reward. Although 500 Jindlers were not a lot, he made a small fortune for him. He just sent one or two hundred Jindlers, and then took them to drink and play with women for a while. Finally, he could swallow two or three hundred Jindlers by himself when he came back. The pirate industry is like the boss eating meat and drinking soup. The minions below lived a drunken life, as long as they had some money to find women with wine and meat.
He nodded respectfully and was about to turn and leave.
Sauron put down the shipping bill and looked at the map, frowned and said, "Should you wait and see the one-eyed Jack, and ask him why the batch of seiko forging military weapons I need have not been sent here yet?"
"Let him send it in three days, or throw him into the sea to feed the sharks!"
Scarface stopped when he heard this, then turned his head and showed a grim smile on his face. He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips and said, "Don't worry, you, please go over and take a look immediately, and I'll guarantee that those weapons will be delivered within three days."
Sauron nodded with satisfaction and waved: "Good, go down."
"Yes." Scarface nodded respectfully.
The pirates under Sauron are still a little weaker. Although many pirates have good combat experience and are very brave in fighting, they have less accumulation after all, so it is necessary to rely on equipment to improve their combat effectiveness.
These precision-forged military weapons are very important!
