Chapter 49： (2/2)

Ren looked at the situation of the Ocean Tree again.

The number of sea elves has reached nearly 900, and in a few days, it will exceed 1,000.

However, the rating of the Ocean Tree is still 3 stars, and it has not reached 4 stars.

The 3-star rating is already very high, and the 4-star rating requirements will be more. Not only does it require the number of sea elves, but also the strength of the sea elves, and there are also no small requirements for the sea tree.

The ocean tree is still growing, but the growth rate is not as fast as before, after all, it has grown into a full body.

After seeing the situation of the Ocean Tree, Ren relaxed, and took Eve and Leah, ten mermaids, and three other whales to leave Mermaid Island and headed west.

On the vast ocean, a fleet of ships is traveling from north to south.

The fleet is not small, with more than ten merchant ships and five **** ships.

Among the five **** ships, one of the leading **** ships can see a black muzzle.

This shows that this **** ship has a magic cannon!

Such a fleet, a small group of pirates... they dare not come to intrude at all!

Like the three pirates that Wren first destroyed, the strongest one did not dare to touch such a fleet, but only dared to deal with those merchant ships that had no **** ships and were alone.

Merchant ships like 　　 have limited capabilities and cannot afford to hire escorts.

The profit of ocean trade is amazing. Pirates do not come out every day. In addition to the huge ocean, there are still many individual merchant ships that escape the pirates and make a lot of money!

For those merchant ships, they can successfully complete a transaction and earn tens of thousands of gold coins. Earning a fortune is also a windfall!

And most of the fleet like this one belongs to the chamber of commerce with very strong financial resources. Of course, it may also be an **** ship requested by several chambers of commerce.

"There are no more pirates in this area, and it feels much safer. Recently, the number of merchant ships has increased a lot than before!"

On the deck of a ship in the fleet, a few sailors chatted.

"Heh, it doesn't make much difference for us. Ordinary pirates don't dare to attack us at all, and they only need to pay a certain sea fee to the White Shark King every time. To be honest, I am a little worried."

A sailor road.

"worry about what?"

asked the sailor next to it.

"You think, the ghost ship killed the white shark queen and disappeared. The other pirates were scared away, but the ghost ship did not occupy this area. Those pirates will come back sooner or later when they see the ghost ship disappear, the white shark king. At any rate, I will talk about some rules. Under normal circumstances, the money will be released, but other pirates will not. At that time, this area of ​​the sea will be chaotic."

That sailor road.

The sailor actually told some maritime rules.

The great pirate kings actually understood the dangers of fishing by exhaustion. From the very beginning, they rushed to exterminate the merchant ships and turned them into tolls, protection fees, etc., so as to avoid the merchant ships not going to sea by then.

also avoided provoking public anger, and was united by all chambers of commerce and all kingdoms to deal with them, and there would be no profit at that time!

And the reason why these pirate kings tolerated the existence of small pirates, it is estimated that part of the reason is to highlight their "rule-keeping" side.

After all, there is no contrast, there is no harm.

There is also a saying that all depends on peers.

Of course, "speaking of the rules" is only relative and profitable. Only when you want to make more money will you "speak the rules".

The Pirate King still makes some big moves from time to time, which has increased his reputation.

is like the big move of the White Shark King on that small seaside city. Although it is cooperating with the Western Kingdom, it does not necessarily have the meaning of raising power.

"Yes, unless all the pirates are wiped out, otherwise, there is still a pirate king in a sea area."

Another sailor road.

"Destroy all the pirates? How could it be that the White Shark King is the weakest individual among the pirates, that is, the ability to control sharks poses a great threat to the fleet, other pirates, which one is not a powerful person of Tier 5 or even Tier 6 or above? , I heard that there are still many noble boats pretending to be pirates looting around the sea. All the sails are magic sails. There are several magic cannons on a boat. How can they be so easy to destroy!"

Another sailor shook his head and said.

"Not necessarily, other pirate kings must be afraid of ghost ships, otherwise they would have sent someone over to occupy this sea area."

There is sailor road again.

It takes a long time to sail at sea, and these sailors don’t have much entertainment, so they usually have to gather together, bragging, and chatting.

At this time, a sailor seemed to stand in one posture for a long time, changed his posture, turned his head towards the sea, and took a breath of fresh sea breeze.

He was about to speak, when suddenly he saw...not far away, a black...steel monster appeared on the surface of the sea!

The sailor's eyes widened at once, and his speech became stammered.

"You...ghost ship!"

The sailor stammered.

"Teng!"

As soon as he heard the sailor's voice, the other sailors stood up one after another.

all were frightened.

"Hurry up, let them know, the ghost ship is coming!"

A sailor blew the horn.

Suddenly, a large number of sailors poured out from the cabin.

On the **** ships, heavily armed soldiers also came to the deck with bows and arrows and other weapons.

"There is another ship ahead!"

Someone had sharp eyes and saw a ghost ship ahead of the fleet.

"On the right, there is also one on the right!"

Right away, someone screamed again.

"Behind, there is also a ship behind!"

Another panicked voice of the sailor rang.

"Oh my God, how come so many ghost ships, we are surrounded by ghost ships!"
