At night, the port of Shengde is lit with countless lights, the full moon hangs in the deep blue sky, and the doors of the pubs on the street are all open. The smell of alcohol rises in the wide alleys with the sound of shouting and singing, and there is a joyous and lively atmosphere everywhere.

A huge carriage was parked under the street lamp at the end of the alley, and there was an iron cage on the ground, in which dozens of people were imprisoned. They had different hair colors, but they were all ragged, and their pupils were full of confusion and blankness.

In the depressing and weird silence, saw Tim, the slave owner, swinging the whip in his hand and slamming it against the iron railing, making a loud bang!

The men and women curled up in a pile in the iron cage were instantly frightened and trembled, begging for mercy.

Seeing this, Tim grinned and laughed distortedly, his voice was hoarse like that of an old man who has been drinking for many years.

"I bought you for ten gold coins, give me some insight in a while..." Tim's gray beard twitched, and his cloudy eyes gleamed greedily.

Weeping continued in the iron cage, but no one dared to resist.

Tim shrugged his shoulders contentedly after a good deterrence, took out a bottle of spirits from his waist and took a sip, his eyes did not leave the sea for more than two seconds during the whole process.

Shengde Port is the most prosperous commercial town in the North Bania Sea, which has the most ferocious waves, the hottest sun, and the most severe hurricane in the world.

The most dangerous place is often the cradle of the bravest sailors. The Devil Sea, where no one dares to approach, has bred a group of devil pirates with storms. Everyone fears and hates them, but also fears to worship them.

With the dark and calm sea imprinted in Tim's eyes, he said to himself: "Whoever can conquer Northern Bania will have endless wealth."

A few sips of spirits also brought him the courage to negotiate next.

North Banya is black beyond the horizon.

Tim took back the bottle and straightened his back, muttering, "Here he is, my rich man is coming soon."

A gust of fresh and salty sea breeze hit, the lively atmosphere in the whole alley suddenly stagnated, and a silent oppression suddenly descended.

A pair of black eyes peeped from under his arms in the iron cage, and he and Tim looked into the distance together.

The high-hanging scarlet sail fluttered, like a huge red skirt swaying in the deep sea, approaching quickly like a ghost.

But in an instant, everyone in the tavern on the whole street turned their heads and looked at the huge ship in silence.

"Red Lady..." the first person subconsciously shouted.

This sound was a clarion call that broke the silence, followed by countless discussions of fear and calmness.

Suddenly, a group of children ran out of the tavern door chasing each other ignorantly and fearlessly, singing as they ran.

"holon island, holon island, gold coins, silver coins and rubies, the red lady of Stormy Sea Fortress, holon island, holon island, the brave pirates defeated the dragon, overcame the thorns and regained the treasure..."

The proprietress of the tavern was so frightened that she leaned out the window and shouted, "Buck is back!"

The huge red skirt was approaching in a blink of an eye, and people realized that the skirt was as high as a ten-story building. It blocked all the moonlight, as if it also trapped the sea breeze and air, and a sense of suffocation struck.

Tim covered his heart and shook his lips and shouted: "My God, it's so beautiful."

It took some time for the giant ship to dock, but soon all the pirates on the ship came down. They were all wearing short boots, their muscles were bulging, and their bronze-colored skin, which was formed by the scorching sun at sea, seemed to be still steaming.

In Northern Bania, pirates are associated with wealth. After months of storms and waves, they disembarked at this moment with the intention of crazily squandering, so countless people jumped on it immediately.

A woman waving a feather fan approached wrapped in a light gauze skirt, embraced a young and middle-aged man and smiled coquettishly: "Sir, only two silver coins are required."

For a time, almost every pirate stood beside two merchants and women, and the scene was extremely lively.

Only Tim stood in front of the iron cage, holding his mind and waiting, his cloudy eyeballs searching shrewdly, because he knew who was the man who really conquered Northern Barnia.

It's not this group of hulking minions, and it's not the young man who can't walk when he smells a woman's fragrance.

The moonlight is getting stronger and the time is passing by every minute.

After finally waiting for hundreds of pirates to pour into Shengde Town shoulder to shoulder, and the tavern regained its lively atmosphere, a man was seen slowly walking down from the Red Lady in the dark night.

The man was tall and thin, with an antique revolver gun pinned to his waist. The black boots on his feet were tightly pressed against his calves, outlining a beautiful and straight curve. The brown belt around his waist was also top-quality, but thisNothing compares to his cold, unfeeling blue eyes.

Qiao Zhuo walked in front of the crowd in a long black coat.

The corners of his mouth were straight and indifferent, his golden-brown hair was as long as his neck, tied tightly by a black belt, and two strands of hair fell on his forehead. As the sea breeze fluttered, everyone noticed a scar under the man's left eye at the same time.

The scar slanted forward from the brow bone until the eyes did not stop, making people wonder what kind of life-and-death situation caused the conqueror Qiao Zhuo to leave such a mark.

Compared with the other pirates who were tanned, the Qiao Zhuo in front of him was so pale that it was doubtful whether he was a pirate living in the rough waves or a noble young master who didn't care about worldly affairs.

The fierce scar was a little powdered because of the white skin, it was more of an embellishment than a fierce one.

But the cold and fair skin made the man's estranged and serious temperament more condensed. As long as he glanced over, the deterrence in it would immediately dispel all doubts.

The sails of Mrs. Hong's boat were lowered, and everyone present held their breaths. No matter what, they didn't dare to say the word "beautiful", and could only sigh secretly in their hearts.

Tim had clearly miscalculated, and he wasn't the only one with eyesight.

More vendors than before rushed to the man who was holding rare treasures, but was stopped by Adrian and Widdie standing on both sides of the man.

Adrian raised his hand with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, but we have something to settle tonight, please don't bother."

Adrian seemed closer to the vicious-looking Widdy, and the vendors backed away even though they hesitated seeing this.

Qiao Zhuo walked forward without saying a word the whole time, and when his figure disappeared into the alley, the vendors who stayed in place suddenly noticed the man who was dragged behind by Qiao Zhuo, who was tortured so badly.

The traitor's mouth was stuffed with cotton cloth, his hands were tied with hemp rope, and hemp rope was wrapped around his neck, and the other end of the rope was held in Qiao Zhuoxu's hand.

The traitor's knees and feet were oozing blood, and it was not difficult to see how cruel torture he had undergone.

The smell of blood and the salty sea breeze sent chills down everyone's backs, and it was only at this moment that they really gave up the idea of following up to sell.

"You can make a lot of money at the moment of life and death." Tim secretly encouraged himself, unscrewed the wine bottle and took a few sips before going up to stop people.

And Qiao Zhuo, who had already entered the tavern, was talking to the system in his mind.

The system chattered endlessly about the background of the new small world: "The hero of this small world is the commander of the regular army, a strong man who holds the military power of the empire... and the Northern Banian pirates under your host are the cancer of the empire that is hostile to them."

Qiao Zhuo didn't comment on the word "tumor", and only responded lightly to signal the system to continue.

The system said succinctly: "The pirates in Northern Barnia are becoming more and more rampant, and the empire sent a male protagonist to suppress them. They know that there is no benefit to going head-to-head, so the male protagonist of Small World will be placed by your side at an opportune time., to facilitate the transmission of information, and defeat you from the inside out."

Qiao Zhuo asked: "If the male protagonist finally kills me, the pirate leader, will the career growth value be full?"

The system grinned and said, "Host, you are so smart."

Qiao Zhuo raised his eyebrows indifferently.

The proprietress of the tavern graciously invited Qiao Zhuo and his party in, while directing the nimble waiter to bring several large bottles of good wine and set up a table of delicacies.

Adrian sent away the proprietress of the tavern with a smile, and the surroundings fell silent for a moment.

The other men who were sitting in the tavern drinking and chatting lively stopped their movements and stared at Qiao Zhuo secretly.

Qiao Zhuo's fame resounded throughout Northern Barnia together with the Red Lady. He is the richest man in this sea area and a conqueror who rides the storm.

His Red Lady is the only pirate ship that can fight back and forth with the regular army of the empire, so Qiao Zhuo became the uncrowned king of the Northern Bania Sea.

Wei Di spat viciously at the traitor who was chained by Qiao Zhuo, "Smelly bastard, if you don't want to be roasted as meat and served with wine, tell me everything you know!"

The traitor who was tied into a twisted pattern shook his whole body and sobbed, with a cotton cloth stuffed in his mouth, unable to utter a word.

Adrian said with a smile: "What if he is gagged, Don't be in a hurry, Wei Di."

Wei Di gave Adrian an angry look, and said, "Why are you pretending to be a nice guy?"

The two people pointed their needles at Maimang, and they turned their heads to Qiao Zhuo together in a stagnant atmosphere, as if they were about to explain.

Adrian was a handsome man with blond hair and brown eyes, with a smile on his face. At first glance, people would mistake him for a good-tempered and gentle pirate.

Widdy has dark red curly hair, bulging muscles, a bulging chest, an obvious energy gun pinned to his waist, and long-lasting scars all over his bare arms.

Qiao Zhuo lowered his eyes indifferently, ignored anyone, and only said in a deep voice, "Get the things out of his mouth."

Adrian took a step forward and pulled away the gag. Phil burst into tears instantly. He knelt down and shouted, "Joe, I didn't betray you. They promised not to hurt you..."

Qiao Zhuo ruthlessly kicked Phil on the shoulder, and the man immediately flew five meters away. His thin body crushed two wine tables, and the wooden boards crackled and shattered to the ground.

Seeing this, everyone in the tavern became more silent, and even their breathing slowed down.

Before Phil staggered to his feet, Qiao Zhuo raised his hand and pulled the hemp rope in his hand, and the man was dragged forward and knelt down in front of him again.

Phil's face was bruised and there were scars all over his neck.

Phil cried and said, "Joe, for our sake..."

It is no secret that the conquerors on the Northern Banian Sea like handsome men, and Adrian will find a new male companion for Qiao Zhuo every time the Red Lady comes to shore.

But didn't expect that this time, Phil made a big mess for Adrian. He not only colluded with the regular ar, but also injured several brothers under him.

Qiao Zhuo's blue eyes narrowed slightly, he took out the revolver at his waist and put it on the table with a snap, and said expressionlessly: "There is only one bullet in it, if it's okay for you to shoot it, I'll put it out of love."over you."

Phil rolled his eyes in fright, and passed out.

Qiao Zhuo threw the hemp rope in his hand, frowned in disgust, the veins on the back of his hand bulged slightly, and twirled a huge translucent green ring inlaid with gold on his thumb.

Adrian pursed his lips and raised his hands with a smirk, "Joe, let me handle it for you."

Qiao Zhuo swept across Adrian sharply, and only when he saw the other party stiffened, he said lightly: "Drag and throw it into the sea."

Adrian breathed a sigh of relief, but before he got up, an acquaintance with a gray beard walked into the tavern.

Tim rubbed his palms with a flattering smile, bowed to Qiao Zhuo and gave a beautiful knight salute, and said, "Joe, I have a group of people here, I don't know if you need it."

Qiao Zhuo glanced out of the tavern, and after meeting a stubborn black eye, he asked the system indifferently: "The right time?"

The system confirmed: "Yes host, your male companion is about to be thrown into the sea, so now is the most appropriate time to place the male protagonist by your side."
