infinite blood core

Chapter 728

The deep night shrouded Snake Island.

The light from the lighthouse guided a warship of the Shengming Empire to dock at the pier smoothly.

The bow of this warship is thick, and the ship building is located in the center of the deck, like a cube with the same length, width and height as a treasure chest.

The surface of the treasure box-shaped ship building depicts layers of magic circles.There are a lot of gems inlaid in the magic circle, sapphires the size of a fist, diamonds the size of a human head, topaz the size of a carriage, and so on.

It is the treasure chest number.

The lord of Snake Island, Tanqin, had already brought a group of subordinates, waiting at the pier.

When Tan Mo, the captain of the Treasure Box, led a group of people down the pier, Tan Loach hurried up to greet them.

Tan Loach said: "Clan brother, you are here! You have worked hard all the way, and the dinner has been prepared long ago."

Tan Mo, the lord of Snake Island, is a middle-aged human man with an ordinary face and a short, fat body. Tan Mo, the captain of the Treasure Box, has a fat body, a short neck, and a shrewd look that cannot be concealed by the night in a pair of small eyes.

The two are members of the same family.

Tan Mo said: "Clan brother, it has been three years since we last met?"

Beach loach laughed.

Tan Mo signaled his subordinates with his eyes: "Go, move the goods down, these are specially transported for the brothers of the Tan Loach clan."

A look of joy appeared on Tan Mo's face, watching the marines begin to deliver the goods, and invited Tan Mo to the dinner again.

Tan Mo said: "I still have time to hurry, don't make it too grand. Some people don't need to meet, so there is no need to meet."

The beach loach understood, nodded repeatedly, and immediately made new adjustments.

The carriage was already ready, Tan Mo and others got into the carriage, and were soon welcomed into the City Lord's Mansion.

The dinner was really rich and well-prepared indeed.

Originally, there were some key executives from Snake Island at the dinner party, but since Tan Mo didn't want to see them, Tan Loach arranged for them to disperse.

In the huge banquet hall, there were only two members of the clan and a few servants, which seemed a little deserted.

Holding a goblet in his hand, Tan Mo looked at the pier through the floor-to-ceiling windows after taking a sip of red wine.

His eyes focused on the lighthouse on the pier.

This lighthouse is not ordinary. The building is slender, and the top of the building is a cube with a side length of 3 meters.Both the tower body and the cube are silver-white.

On the four sides of the cube, there is a closed eye engraved on it.There is also a prismatic crystal of adult height at the upper end of the cube.

This is the spotlight tower.

Tan Mo's expression was cold, but he said flatteringly: "Clan brother, your financial resources are unexpectedly strong. You have only managed Snake Island for a long time, and you have already set up a spotlight tower."

"I believe that the family will be very happy to see that you have successfully operated here."

Tanqian quickly smiled bitterly: "Brother, don't mock me. You are a navy, and you must understand that the cost of the spotlight gun tower is much lower than that of the mage tower. It is a defensive consumable developed by the empire to invade the wilderness continent."

"I don't even dare to think about the Mage Tower."

"Even this spotlight tower was bought after a long time of hesitation by tightening one's belts and reducing one's clothing and food."

"Hey, for this gun tower, the Snake Island City Lord's Mansion has paid for it."

"My life is hard, but I can't help it. Pirates are getting more and more rampant. The situation on the sea is turbulent, and other monsters and monsters have emerged. Shuangyan Island, which is relatively close to my island, suffered a large-scale attack by murlocs a few months ago. attack."

"I also read the information and found that in this battle, the spotlight gun tower performed well."

"For the sake of the safety of the territory, I had to purchase one. This is the only one!"

Faced with Tan Loach's complaints and crying for poverty, Tan Mo snorted, looked at Tan Loach playfully, and then focused his gaze on the red wine glass in his hand.

He leaned back on the back of the chair, twirling the tall glass in his hand leisurely and said, "Beach loach, do you think I don't know?"

"You took down the Rouzang Pirates and made a lot of war money!"

"You captured the bone shell alive, and it has been redeemed by the Great Ascetic Monastery. You have also obtained a large amount of ransom for this."

"There is also Rouzo, this is a gold-ranked pirate. You escorted him to the empire and gained a lot of military exploits. After this credit is worthwhile, it is very likely that you will be promoted to noble."

"However, if I were you, I would directly resell the meat storage to the Great Ascetic Monastery. They are willing to pay, their family has a big business, and they can afford a high ransom."

Tan Loach's expression changed for a while, and then he complained: "Oh, to tell you the truth, I want to do the same."

"But there is no way, the Snake Island was originally in charge of the Shengming sect."

"After the Battle of Rouzang, the priest died in battle, which led to changes in the diocese."

"Now, the Justice Sect has settled in and vigorously squeezed out the Shengming Sect. It has completely gained the upper hand."

"I had to moderate my relationship with the Shengming Sect, so I followed the path of the Shengming Sect and hid the meat."

"But with such a layer of deduction, I must have lost a lot of military exploits, and I don't even think about being promoted to the title!"

Tan Mo slightly raised his eyebrows, a little curious: "This is also a good thing."

"The Holy Ming Sect is too strong, and the Justice Sect is a small sect compared to it."

"This is very beneficial to your lord's authority."

"It seems that your methods, brother, are really not low. You actually managed to get rid of the Shengming Sect, and you didn't get involved in the disputes between the sects."

Tanqian smiled wryly again: "Brother, the introduction of the Justice Sect was a pre-war agreement at that time."

"Master Guangke is from the Justice Sect, and we urgently need his gold-level combat power. So, not only I agreed, but the priest also expressed his consent on behalf of the Holy Ming Sect."

"There is a clear magic contract, this is the best reason to prevent the Holy Ming Sect from coming to trouble me!"

Tan Mo looked at the bitter-faced Tan Loach with dark eyes.

He couldn't help thinking back to the past.

In his memory, the brother in front of him was inconspicuous since he was a child.He was nicknamed "Loach" by his peers in the family.

"Unexpectedly, this little loach really revitalized Snake Island."

"In the Shengming Continent, according to his status, how could it be possible to obtain such a huge territory?"

"Although it's a bit barren, there are still industrial pillars!"

"Trendy Snakes, Melting Rats... Even the Hunter's Guild was attracted and set up a branch here."

"There is also the dispute between the Holy Ming Sect and the Justice Sect... This brother's political skills are not low, and his luck is also good. Father Shengming really died in the naval battle."

"In the future, these two sects will restrict each other, which will further highlight his authority as a secular lord!"

Thinking of this, Tan Mo's emotions became a little complicated and subtle.

"My lord, the goods have been counted." At this time, the subordinates of the beach loach came to report, "But there is a batch of slime missing."

"Huh?" The beach loach frowned suddenly.

The goods unloaded by the Treasure Box were the materials he purchased through the family channel.

This time, Tanmo's route happened to pass through Snake Island, so the family used the Treasure Box as a transport ship.

The space inside the Treasure Box is very large, which is very suitable for transportation.

"Although slime is not expensive, it is the most basic material for me to build fortifications, and it must not be lacking!" The beach loach frowned suddenly.

He asked his subordinates: "Is the inspection clear?"

The subordinate hurriedly said: "It has been counted three times, and the only possibility is that it is still..."

Speaking of this, the subordinate's voice subconsciously weakened, and he quickly raised his eyes to look at Tan Mo on the other side of the table.

Tan Loach sighed, and thought: "The one who should come has come."

He is too familiar with the disposition of his clan brother.This time he had already paid for the shipping fee, but he didn't expect that there would be such a move.

Tan Mo waved his subordinate back, turned his head to look at Tan Mo, and saw the latter smiling.

Tan Qiang suppressed his anger, and asked in a pretendingly confused manner: "Brother Clan, just now the subordinates checked the goods and found that there is still a batch of slime missing."

Tan Mo let out a cry, very surprised: "Is there such a thing?"

Tanqiu said with a sad face that although slime is a very basic alchemy material, it is very important to Snake Island.I hope Tanmo will send his subordinates to check and find out the mud.

Tan Mo frowned on purpose: "It's difficult, clan brother, it's not that my brother doesn't want to find it, but it's very difficult."

"You don't know, there is a big man on my ship. I dare not offend!"

"It seems that the slime slime is stored near the big man's cabin, and noise is not allowed there."

"I don't know which big shot it is?" Tan Loach asked.

Tan Mo chuckled, and said: "It's a member of the Blood Light Sanctions Court. He is going to Shuangyan Island to investigate the necromancer. I was ordered to send him here. Speaking of which, you are still in his favor. Otherwise, we How could your ship come to Snake Island?"

"Bloodlight Sanctions Court?!" Tanqian was startled suddenly, and his expression changed.

Tan Mo carried out the Bloody Sanction Court, it was really too ruthless, Tan Loach didn't dare to think in this direction.

He clapped his hands, called a servant, and whispered a few words in her ear.

After the servant went down, he came back soon, bringing a wooden gift box.

The wooden gift box was very exquisite and was presented on Tan Mo's table.

Tan Mo feigned surprise: "Clan brother, what does this mean?"

A smile appeared on Tan Loach's face: "Clan brother, a small gift. You have a heavy task to escort the people of the Blood Light Sanctions Court, and you still took time out of your busy schedule to come to me and help me deliver the supplies. My brother is very kind, How could there be no expression?"

"This is a small gift, which represents a little care from the clan brother, and I hope you accept it."

Tan Mo slightly opened the wooden box, and a precious light was reflected on his face.

He saw three pieces of gold-level precious materials, the mica pearl in the center was as big as a small bowl, and it was the most eye-catching.

Tanmo's heart beat three times because of this.

But his face remained calm, and he closed the wooden box calmly, and then looked at Tan Loach with a smile: "Clan brother, why are you so embarrassed? It really cost you!"

He said he was embarrassed, but his hands moved naturally and smoothly, and he directly put the wooden box into his storage bracelet.

Tanqiu quickly expressed that this was his own intention, and the gift did not represent the strong gratitude in his heart.

He also said that it was really difficult for him, slime slime is very important to him!

Tan Mo nodded, immediately called his subordinates, changed his attitude, and told his subordinates: While not quarreling with the big shots, do your best to find the slime and carry it down.

The subordinates quickly reported that the materials had been found and they were taking risks to remove them.

Tanmo succeeded in extorting, and his subordinates didn't even need people from Snake Island to carry it, and directly transported the slime down.The attitude is in stark contrast to before.

Tan Mo was furious, but held back, toasted Tan Mo, expressing his gratitude: "Brother Clan, you really helped me a lot this time."

Having obtained what he wanted, Tan Mo also relaxed, and really drank with Tan Mo several times.

The atmosphere gradually improved, and the topic of the two naturally fell on the development of Snake Island.

Tanqian sighed: "The biggest resources on the territory are the tide snakes and melting rats in the underground space. In order to attract the hunters' guild to settle in, I gave them a lot of benefits."

"Up to now, the number of trendy snakes and melting rats has dropped sharply. According to statistics, even if all killings are stopped now, it will take five years for them to return to their past peak state in a natural breeding environment."

Tan Mo was curious: "As far as I know, the Hunter's Guild does not have such a style. They are very particular about sustainable development. How could the Hunter's branch here be so unwise?"

Beach Loach shook his head: "It's not their fault."

"The main reason is the dragon and lion mercenary group!"

Mentioning this group of people, the beach loach gritted its teeth with hatred: "This group of guys once went to my Snake Island and secretly harvested a lot of tide snakes and melting rats, seriously destroying the ecology inside."

"We were all kept in the dark. It wasn't until recently that we discovered that a large number of trendy snakes and molten rats had been hunted."

"Oh?" Tan Mo raised his eyebrows.

In order to blackmail the dolphin, he specially investigated the information on Snake Island.Among them, the naval battle with Rouzang is the most important, so naturally the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group cannot be avoided.

Therefore, Tan Mo knew a lot about the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group.

"This group of people seems to be a group of arms smugglers? The strength is very good!"

"They helped you a lot in the naval battle."

"Without them, you probably wouldn't be able to win against Rouzang."

"Uh..." Tan Loach froze indignantly, feeling a little embarrassed.

He continued: "The Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group has made too much money on my side."

"When they left, they took many sea ships with them. These are the spoils of naval battles."

"The most annoying thing is that they wantonly recruit people here, recruiting a lot of talents from the island. Among them are giants and magicians."

"Even if it is a low-level magician, I still lack it."

"As a result, although the supplies have been replenished, Snake Island is short of people. I am too short of capable subordinates."

Tan was indifferent, and finally asked: "Have you investigated this group of people? Do you know who is the arms dealer behind them?"

Tan Loach shook his head and shrugged, saying that although he tried hard, it was useless.The other party hides too deeply!

Tan Mo felt the same way.

After he learned of this identity speculation from intelligence, he used his own channels and resources to investigate the background of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group.

Also nothing.

"It's normal for people who can smuggle arms to hide deep. This is a brain-dead business!"

"If I investigate it all at once, I will doubt the authenticity of the investigation."

"However, if you can really dig out the general arms dealer, it will definitely be a great achievement!"

Without any useful information from Tanmo, Tanmo has no interest in staying for a long time.

After a sumptuous dinner, he parted ways with Tan Dou, boarded the Treasure Box, and set off overnight.
