Codex Pirates

Chapter 226 Mountain Top

There was a hint of mockery on the faces of the drinkers, but they quickly hid themselves after seeing the malicious eyes of Harden and others. Although the corpses in the store were moved out, the blood still remained. Most of them are bullying characters. If Harden, Edmund and others were not as fierce as before, and their backgrounds in the East China Sea, it is very likely that after the words just uttered, they would be exchanged for violent ridicule and laughter. Insults, if they dare not fight back, then this situation is bound to intensify, and even the most timid people will join the army of ridicule.

It's a pity that whether it's Edmond, Harden, or Selkirk, they are all men with the most typical fierce character of pirates. They don't know any strange philosophical truths, they only know that no matter who they are Make them feel uncomfortable, so that the other party can no longer breathe.

Especially Harden, who can be said to be ruthless and murderous. This is the case in the East China Sea. Even on the great route, he will not change his character.

Although many people in the store, including the boss, felt that the legend of Sky Island was nonsense, those who dared to laugh at them loudly did not.

The boss coughed, covered his smile, and thought that he had exposed Selkirk's "lie" to Selkirk.

Near Gaya Island, where Magic Valley Town is located, because of the geographical environment, huge currents often appear, and the sea water becomes a continuous column of water under pressure. The sea current rushed to the sky, but fell from the sky, which gave the uninformed people the illusion of an empty island.

After hearing what the boss said, Selkirk frowned, but said nothing.

After a group of people rested in the tavern and got what they wanted and left, Selkirk said to his companions on the road: "Sky Island should exist. When I entered the great route last time, I heard people say, I’ve seen pirates from Sky Island.”

Edmund said curiously: "I seem to have heard Dampier mention this place. Although he has never been to the great route, after sorting out the information, he also believes that the sky island does exist, but why do people here speak with certainty? Do you think Sky Island doesn't exist?"

Edmund doesn't like Dampier who is smart and exposed, and always looks down on others, but in all fairness, he has to admit that Dampier is one of the most knowledgeable and intelligent people he has ever met, and he has also seen Dampier's exaggerated collection of books, so if Dampier thinks that Sky Island exists, Edmund also thinks it is probably true.

"It's not that there can be frogs in a well on a great route." Crick, who had always been relatively silent, said suddenly because he was not very familiar with everyone.

Born in the East China Sea, after coming to the Great Route, the few people who were always ridiculed and provoked because of their backgrounds all laughed.

After laughing, Edmund waved his hand: "Is there an empty island? Let's explore by ourselves when the time comes. Anyway, we have hot air balloons, so we can go to the sky to see them at any time, but before that, the most important thing is to get those shipyards Young people are sent to the capital of seven waters."

...

While Edmund, Crowe and others were fighting on the great route, their colleagues far away in the East China Sea were gathering leisurely.

A mansion in the city of Kalmar, who used to hang out at the country pier, and the gangsters who wandered around the pier have now become the ruling class of the Navia Kingdom.

After being separated for a long time, Tony, Manny, and Anji got together again, and besides them, there were many cadres from Hongye Village here, but in this house, the identities of Tony, Manny, and Anji were naturally highest status.

Tony has been working in public relations and diplomacy for the past two years, and with the experience of being on the streets in the past, his whole person has become a lot more slick, and his worldly skills have improved. This kind of fellowship gathering is made by him, for the purpose of maintaining A human bond.

Hongye Village is the place where William started his career. Although William has always hated his subordinates to engage in mountainism and consciously supports other forces, he must be rewarded for his meritorious service. The manpower and material resources of Hongye Village have provided a lot of help in the process of William's rise. Turn a blind eye, so that other people will not say anything, and I am afraid that they will also have grudges in their hearts.

At present, there are quite a few cadres from Hongye Village in the foreign affairs department under William, in the Four Seas Trading Company, and in the free trade zone. If you really want to group them together, they are actually quite a force.

"Congratulations, Boss." Holding a glass of wine, Manny came up to Tony, intentionally and affectionately calling them by the names they used when they were hanging out together a few years ago.

Tony smiled reservedly: "If I don't leave the foreign affairs department, then in a short while, the position of foreign minister must be mine. Everyone knows that the old nobleman who is now the foreign minister is just a puppet, and I was transferred to the Security Bureau , In fact, it's not a high promotion, so you don't have to be so happy, but it's a happy event worth drinking an extra glass to get rid of this vile dog, Crowe."

Crowe's first public appearance as William's subordinate was to make meritorious service as a spy, and later he has been in charge of intelligence work. It can be said that his reputation as "hundreds of tricks" is not unrelated to this series of experiences.

The National Security Agency has been established for many years, has many eyes and ears, and is full of informants. When its external duties are stripped away and it focuses on dealing with domestic intelligence, it appears to be more focused. Be aware of it.

It stands to reason that some cadres under William, such as Tony and others, should be happy about this kind of thing, but in fact, they have always been dissatisfied with Crowe, who made the development of the National Security Agency flourish.

Because in the face of intelligence gathering by the National Security Bureau, it is difficult for many cadres to guarantee that they can get out of the matter. Although their every move is not specially monitored, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be caught by the Security Bureau if they really want to do something out of the ordinary. to William's ears.

Take the gathering held by Tony today as an example. If Crowe was still in charge of the Security Bureau, even now William often retreats and practice, concentrating on six moves, life return, murloc karate and Yixinliu. To write the textbook he named "Yuxinliu", Tony did not dare to do so.

Because this movement can never be hidden from Crowe and his eyes and ears, and will eventually be sent to William's ears by this gang of informers.

Crowe has always been very loyal to William. Of course, his loyalty is different from that of Akin. Akin admires William from the bottom of his heart, and he is loyal to William. A large part of Crowe's loyalty lies in his ability to recognize Clear self-knowledge of one's own position.

Crowe is smart and cunning, but he is different from Crick, who is also smart, cunning and ambitious. He is not so ambitious and needs to be more aware of current affairs.

It is for this reason that when Crowe was sitting as the chief of the Security Bureau, he always had a bit of a sense of selflessness, and he was only loyal to William, because he knew that he could sit on the seat of the chief and have the current status. Due to William's arrangement, this made other cadres very uncomfortable and had a lot of opinions on him, especially Tony.
