Become the Archbishop from Douluo

Chapter 339 Adventurers Association

"That's right, let's go over there." Qin Menglan soon understood Nishizumi Miho's thoughts and felt that she had learned something.

It was done as they were told. After leaving the pier, the atmosphere of this business-oriented alliance gradually emerged. The people here seemed very tolerant to outsiders. No one was hostile to them along the way. Instead, they smiled and laughed. Gather your own business.

The trade of the islands is naturally based on various seafood, and various pearls and crystals are generally sold by the pound, but in the mainland, the price of these things is at least five times higher.

With the thought of having come, Miho Nishizumi was not in a hurry to get down to business and started shopping with Qin Menglan in the market outside the pier.

"Two guests, are you businessmen from mainland China?"

While the two were selecting some beautiful jewelry, the stall owner suddenly asked.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Nishizumi Miho was playing with a round dark green pearl in her hand, wondering whether she should take it back as a decoration.

"It's like this. According to the regulations of the alliance, mainlanders and locals from our Ocean Alliance must be treated differently. Purchased items need to be based on another price list." The stall owner said and took out another price list. Put it in front of the two of them.

Qin Menglan took a closer look and saw that the price above had increased four times.

But she didn't say anything. She had learned a lot from Miho Nishizumi in the past few years. She knew that this was a kind of trade protection regulation, and it was a very friendly one. After all, at this price, as long as you buy in bulk, mainland China Businessmen still have a lot of profit margins.

"It seems that your alliance is still very positive. You know the benefits of protecting local fishermen. I think you should be very grateful to them, right?" Nishizumi Miho said with a smile.

"Alas, that is the past. The old alliance leader was kind-hearted. In the past few decades, he always thought about us fishermen. He was afraid that we would make less money and only collect 10% of the business tax. But now that the old alliance leader is dead, the new alliance leader is young. He is so angry that he is another dandy, and now he has raised the tax to 50% under the instigation of those powerful people who are eager to get a piece of the pie! "

"If it weren't for the old alliance leader leaving such a policy that allows us to make money from outsiders, I'm afraid no one would do this kind of business anymore."

Speaking of this, the stall owner sighed, obviously nostalgic for the past.

"Oh? Is this new alliance leader planning to do something big? If his father is not a mediocre and incompetent person, then he shouldn't be a playboy." Nishizumi Miho said curiously.

Generally speaking, it is very rare to have a family with a powerful father but a useless son. This is especially true in the world of Douluo Continent. Being able to reach such a high and powerful position means that one's own strength is definitely not low, and the talents of future generations are No matter how bad it is, it can't be much worse.

The appearance of raising taxes is to collect wealth for luxury and enjoyment, but what if it is actually used for military expenditure? Although this is not a threat, if this alliance is determined to fight to the death, it will not be a good thing for the future rule of the empire.

"It's hard for me to say this, but recently many high towers have been built on Åland Island, all for viewing. In my opinion, he may not have such a big mind, and just wants to use them for enjoyment," the stall owner said. There was some hesitation, but he still firmed up his opinion.

"Tall tower?" Nishizumi Miho's expression condensed upon hearing this, but she did not continue to discuss these matters with the stall owner. She just pointed at the goods on the stall and said: "This, this, this, and this, give me the same." Five boxes, delivered directly to the ship at Pier 13, where someone will receive and pay for them.”

"Okay." Hearing this, the stall owner immediately became happy and went down to prepare. After leaving the market, Miho Nishizumi and Qin Menglan found a carriage and asked the driver to walk around Åland Island, specifically visiting the several towers mentioned by the stall owner before. They did not show up during the whole process, just hiding behind Watching quietly from behind the curtain.

There is nothing special about these towers, or they are typical wonder-type buildings. They have very sophisticated murals and reliefs, and many specially built pavilions. These extremely significant features clearly prove that this is a Architecture for pleasure.

The only thing that is special is the mirror on the roof that can refract light and look as beautiful as glass.

Looking at the size and layout of those windows, Nishizumi Miho always felt that it was not that simple. Although this building has been covered up so much, it still gives her the impression that it is a turret used for military purposes, rather than a simple viewing building.

Some Åland naval soldiers were carrying unknown materials wrapped in oilcloth into these towers. Although I don’t know what to do, if artillery is to be installed here, even the foreign trade version of the empire will still have certain harm to the fleet.

Of course, no matter how great the harm is, it doesn't matter. It just determines the extent of weapons used by the fleet and whether it will affect irrelevant people. But no matter what, once the war breaks out, it will be the last resort to rule this place. On the contrary, Peaceful evolution is always the best solution.

"I always feel that they are already preparing for our possible attack." Nishizumi Miho sighed and couldn't help but speculate.

There are still many talents in Tiandou and the Star Luo Empire who know how to use firearms and artillery. For example, the inventor of Star Luo’s black armor that can use magnetic fields to counter bullets is still missing. There are also rumors that the Star Luo Emperor also A regiment of officers was once sent to a small island in the Kingdom of Victoria for secret training, which could be regarded as some superficial cooperation. However, there were very few people familiar with the matter and could not confirm it.

But if this matter is true, then if these people come to this archipelago to advocate resistance and are adopted by the alliance leader, it will not end unless they are killed and a river of blood is shed, and the weapons of the empire may also have passed through those people during this period. The escaped scientist was transformed into a more terrifying weapon.

This is completely different from the situation in Tiandou or Xingluo. Many people in Tiandou and Xingluo are looking forward to the empire's advance. However, the people in this island alliance have a prosperous life and have no reason to join the empire's rule. Just like the previous stall owner, under the threat of the empire, if the alliance leader calls for a fight to the death, he must be a die-hard loyalist on the front line.

After walking around and having a general idea in mind, Nishizumi Miho and Qin Menglan came to the Mercenary Association on Oran Island.

It is said to be a mercenary association, but in fact there are many tasks that have nothing to do with mercenaries, such as hiring a driver to pull goods, etc. The main thing is to be inclusive.

According to the reward and difficulty of the task, all tasks are divided into five levels from D level to S level. Similarly, the adventurers here also have a similar level system. After upgrading the level, you can get various corresponding benefits. .

The ocean is simply too vast, and the number of sea spirit beasts is far less than that of land spirit beasts. It can be said to be the most precious and vast habitat for the spirit beast clan.

At least that's how it turned out, but now, the sea spirit beasts have long been divided into two factions, good and evil. The good ones are naturally the group that supports Poseidon Island, and the evil ones are the regular spirit beasts headed by the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

The human forces outside Poseidon Island are too weak compared to the soul beasts. Their technological level is completely unable to run rampant on the ocean. They can only be found in the gaps in the areas where non-sea soul beasts gather. Some navigable routes.

Under such conditions, adventurers came into being. These adventurers often need to go to the gathering areas of powerful sea soul beasts and do those missions that require a narrow escape. This requires extraordinary courage and ability, and Nishizumi Miho wants to find People are among these people.
