"how's it going?"

After the sacrifice was over, Bailuo let everyone go, and he found his uncle and sister.

"the method is right, but the tribute is wrong," Bailuo said. "We used the wrong things to sacrifice."

"isn't it cereal?"

The elder sister said, "Why not, let's go and take care of some cherished animals."

"if you want to sacrifice again, you will have to wait a month."

Bailuo did not expect to have failure punishment, but think about it carefully, this is also good, he can just do his own thing.

"that's just right!"

The uncle said, "now that we have time, it's time to replenish the population."

Population, this is what the Artonians desperately need right now.

With people, more miraculous children can be born.

The sons of miracles can form arms and armies, which is the foundation to protect Arden and make this country stand on the land of miracles.

"come with me."

The uncle took the two to his home and found out a map: "you seldom went to sea before, and you didn't know much about the surrounding area. I got this chart when I took risks in my early years."

"you see, we, Aton Island, are about this location."

"Uh."

Bailuo found that the chart was empty: "our island is not marked on the chart?"

"Don't give up, it's good to have it. It's a little behind." the old man nodded his head. "but things exist here."

"so is it."

Bailuo: "go on, uncle."

"We are in the southeast of Miracle Land."

The uncle marked the location of the Iron Eagle Kingdom and Aton Island: "and to our southwest, there is an archipelago country called the Blue Duchy."

"to get to the nearest place in the Duchy of Azure, you need to drive the fastest warship, a round trip, at least half a month."

"Iron Eagle, Blue, this large area of sea around Aton Island is called the Eastern Sea," said the uncle. "the power of Pirate King Morgan is entrenched here."

"what do you think, Xiao Luo?"

In the face of the uncle's question, Bailuo's answer is: "surrounded on three sides, the geographical location of Aton Island can not only connect the ancient capital Hiroen, but also continue to the west, to the Mountain Kingdom, and the Holy Empire further west."

"if you pass from the east to the north, you will be able to pass through the waters of the resplendent Duchy to the far Northern Empire and trade with the cities there."

"to the south, needless to say, although I have never been to the Blue Duchy, I have heard of its name."

Although Azure is only a principality.

According to my uncle, the Duchy is a country with three miracles, but no more than seven.

This country in the miracle land, known as a 'permanent neutral country', has also been recognized by many countries.

"the Duchy of Azure is very big, and we'd better not provoke this behemoth for the time being."

As far as my uncle's experience is concerned, it is irrational that they should not go head-to-head with the Blue Principality in the next ten years.

"what about Morgan, Luo? what do you think?"

"this."

Bailuo thought for a moment that he was sure to go to war with Morgan, and the two had already formed a feud.

"Fei Ya?"

"what you're trying to say, Dad, is that you want us to replace Morgan, right?"

Sister's remark immediately made Bailuo suddenly realize: "I see. Since Morgan can be entrenched in the eastern sea, if we defeat Morgan and change the pirate king, it will not affect the balance of the sea."

"this is a challenge, but it is also an opportunity."

"not bad."

Seeing that Bailuo and his elder sister complement each other, and that there are two of them in Arden's future, he is very relieved: "but this is only a theoretical plan, and it cannot be completed by World War I or World War II."

"the sea is so big that even if we want to take it down, we have to seize the opportunity."

The old man has been discussing countermeasures with two old people these days, and the three of them are like the humerus ministers of Arden.

Bailuo lacks political and military experience, so in such a large strategic layout, he knows very well who to ask for advice and how to choose.

"will there be a war soon?"

"the fight is definitely going to be fought," the uncle replied, "but first we have to understand why we have to fight this battle."

"you mean Sieglian?"

"it's him, but he's also the pirate king, Morgan."

The old man said, "Today, we don't know what the other side's strength is, and it is very unwise to go to war hastily."

It doesn't matter to fight ordinary pirates.

But if you encounter an army of miraculous arms, to tell you the truth, even if you can win, you will certainly lose a lot of money.

"where are our interests, uncle?"

Bailuo is a rational man, the purpose of the war is interests, if there are no interests, Bailuo will not fight.

"time, and deterrence."

The uncle said: "our war with Sieglian is to get more time, and at the same time to let them know that we are not easy to mess with."

As for taking the initiative, kill Morgan.

Even if Bailuo had three miracles, he had too little time.

Even if Bailuo is ten times more efficient than Morgan, but Morgan has achieved a miracle for 200 years, can his accumulation be shaken by today's Bailuo?

"of course, Morgan, we can't fight for the time being, but Siglian's army, who is not Morgan's main force, is only 1/6."

"as long as you choose the right battlefield and defeat Siglian, it is not difficult."

These days, the three elders have been discussing the question of where to choose the battlefield, and now they are making considerable progress, just waiting for Siglian to come and see him off.

"We are in no hurry about Morgan for the time being."

"our next priority is to go to the Duchy of Azure."

"Don't attract the attention of the miracle lords over there," said the uncle. "our target is the slave merchants."

Yes, slave merchant.

Arden needs a population, and the best source of population is the slaves who lost their homes because of the war.

Because they lost their homes, they lost their freedom and identity.

After coming to Aton, as long as Belo treats them well, Arden will soon become their only destination.

Bailuo does not want pirates because these people are ill-behaved and have too many problems.

Since you want to buy it, it is better to buy some civilians or young people if you can choose at will.

"maybe some of them will have bad intentions, but most of them should be willing to integrate into Aton."

Ungrateful people always exist.

The uncle does not hope to assimilate everyone, but even if the assimilation rate is only 70%, Bailuo is satisfied.

"find these slave traders and establish trade with them."

"sell us the slaves," said the uncle. "We can accept that the price is 20% or 30% higher, or even double the price."

The existence of the beginner bag is like giving Arden an endless gold mine.

Their output, those spices, can never compare with the consumption of the world.

After all, it takes time for slaves to transport. As long as they maintain the export volume of good trade, the price of black pepper will not be reduced much, but will also make small profits and quick turnover because of the demand of more people.

More importantly, this is a monopoly!

Sell less if it is low, and export more if it is high.

Isn't it up to them to decide the price?

"Black pepper is very difficult to grow, and its demand for the environment is too high," said the uncle. "so during the next period of time, Xiao Luo, you pour out more black pepper, and we dry it and make it into black pepper powder."

In doing so, it also avoids the problem of recalculating the internal moisture of black pepper at that time.

"good."

The drying of black pepper is actually very simple, with Lilith's goblin magic, every minute.

So the next day, they put boxes of black pepper on the warship.

The ship was left by pirates, but it was transformed by Lilith and cast some goblin magic.

From the appearance alone, they are so different from before that they can never be recognized.

"everybody, are you all on board?"

There are six members of this operation.

Male, including Bellow, Little John and Anderson.

There are also three women, Immetel, the cook, Gonia, the secretary of Belo, and Fiola, the sister of Knowles.

Gonia is very smart and has a very high IQ.

With her, Bailuo will not be fooled by numbers.

If there is something wrong with the price offered by the other party, Bailuo will let the other party know how serious the consequences of deceiving the Artonians are as long as Gonia has a word.

In addition to these people, uncle, elder sister, Eniya and others all stayed on the island of Aton.

And Lilith, she will continue to teach children magic.

Of course, Belo will take Shirley.

And according to the relationship between the miracle creature and its master, Lilith will come to Bailuo as soon as Bellow is summoned.

The only problem was that once summoned, Lilith had to stay outside with Belo and take the boat home.

Lilith needs to stay and defend Aton Island, so without summoning, Bellow tries not to summon her.

"is that all we have?"

Little John was puzzled, and Anderson looked at Bello, a newcomer, coming for the first time.

The tree elf boy was dressed as a third brother with a white cloth tied to his head-in order to cover his ears.

Bailuo brought Anderson out because Anderson wanted to come out and improve his knowledge so that he could do more things for Bailuo in the future.

Despite the risks, Bailuo was very willing to train his subordinates, so he gladly accepted his request.

"this."

Bailuo explained: "We go out in a big ship, not to buy slaves back, but to place an order with the slave merchant first."

Slaves are often not bought directly from slave traders. They are transported to various slave markets, handed over to slave owners and resold.

Bailuo can naturally go to the slave market.

But there is too much chaos over there, and it is necessary to carry people to sea again and again, and it is such a large quantity that it will cause trouble sooner or later.

"what we have to do is a long-term business, not once or twice."

Bello's plan was to find the slave ship and trade directly with their boss.

First pay the deposit, and then establish the initial trade trust.

"choosing an island by the sea instead of going to Blue Sea City in the Blue Principality is good for both of us."

The slave merchant is to reduce taxes, while Bello, he is for safety: "now it depends on who has the courage to do business with us."

In a word, money is not a problem.

The Artonians are poor at everything, but they are not short of money.

Bailuo: yes, I have a mine at home!

"Captain."

Gonia changed her name, which was Bailuo's request: "although money is not a problem, you can't be wronged."

"well, so is it."

Bailuo is not good at business: "I'll leave it to you. Anyway, Gonia, you talk, and I'll be there to help you through the scene."

"mm-hmm."

She specializes in martial arts, and Gonia has been educated by her uncle for many years. Although she is not as good as her uncle, she has also scored three or four points.

"and us, and us!"

Three lovely kittens chased and played on the deck, and only Bailuo could hear them. In other people's ears, there was only the lovely sound of 'Meow Meow'.

"We are ferocious, too!"

With three kittens, poss, has the potential to become the three generals of the Aton Army headquarters.

"Rich and strong, civilized, harmonious, free, fair and dedicated."

The rats held aloft unknown pests and uttered the slogans Bailuo had said, saying that they had done a good job.

"Oh."

Bailuo nodded to them and announced to the crowd, "the anchor is up, let's go!" Go to Coral City! "
