Chapter 403, Island Owner

Wu Heng frowned, and his face instantly became a little ugly.

500 gold coins already made the pirates a little reckless, but now that they have doubled again, I am afraid that they will be in even more trouble.

"I'm just kidding. You're on Treasure Island. It's okay. Don't worry." When Philippa didn't respond, she thought he was angry and said immediately.

Wu Heng replied and asked: "When did you receive it?"

"Found it yesterday."

"Besides the bounty, is there any other news?"

"There was another person who went to rob the ship. He couldn't make up the time, so he didn't go." Philippa then asked: "What on earth did you do? Let the blank envelope be given directly to your head to double."

"How many pirate leaders did our association kill before you received the message in the envelope?" Wu Heng analyzed.

"Who?"

"Devil's Hand organized five pirate leaders and planned to surround and kill us. There were some problems in the plan. In the end, we counterattacked and killed them. This should be the reason." Wu Heng said.

There was silence on the other side for a few seconds, and then Philippa's exaggerated exclamation came.

"Wow... you killed the Devil's Hand and five pirate leaders. Are you... so powerful?"

"They are average, and they fight on land."

"Fighting on land? Have you captured the pirate ship?"

Wu Heng said: "No, the situation was quite dangerous at that time. After killing them, we retreated to Treasure Island."

"Then where did they die? I'm going to see if I can collect their ships. The Devil's Hand is a very powerful pirate group." Philippa said with some excitement.

Wu Heng thought for a moment and did not want to stop her, so he said: "Near Lopez City, the association will also arrange people to investigate there during this period. Be careful and don't be blocked by the other party."

"I understand. I won't say anything anymore. I'm going to go to sea and see my mother when I have time."

After saying that, he hung up the radio directly.

Wu Heng put back the microphone and walked downstairs.

Minnie was changing into her training clothes. She saw him coming down and asked, "Master, are you going to the courtyard to train?"

"No, I have to go to the association."

"Oh, I'll wait for you to come back for dinner tonight."

"good."

Simply tidy up.

Then he took the skeleton attendant out of the residence and rushed to the association.

…

association.

Entering the hall, you can hear some discussions about the destruction of the 'Devil's Hand'.

A top pirate group that has been running rampant for decades, plus several large pirate groups, disappeared from the wanted list at the same time, which still caused quite a topic.

Each mercenary team guessed who killed these pirate groups.

Or the association headquarters arranged for people to come over and carry out encirclement and suppression.

Wu Heng listened to the discussion and went to the deacon's study.

After knocking lightly on the door, he walked in directly.

The well-dressed Imiro was standing in the study room, looking at a brightly colored oil painting on the wall.

She glanced at him sideways and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Deacon, I have increased the bounty to 1,000 gold coins." Wu Heng said directly.

Imiro frowned, "Did that pirate lady tell you?"

"Well, the information should be true. Every time I kill a pirate, the bounty increases."

Imiro sat back in his seat and pondered for a moment, then said: "I will ask people to strengthen the review on the island. You should not leave the island yet. As long as you stay on the island, there will be no danger."

Wu Heng nodded to express his understanding.

When I mentioned it to Imiro, I wasn't asking for personal protection.

There are many secrets around me, and it is not convenient for someone to follow me.

It is still necessary to strengthen the review of people who land on the island.

Even if the pirates wanted to attack, they wouldn't be able to swim over and land.

"If you feel there is any danger, tell me in time. Treasure Island will protect you and there will be no problem." Imiro said confidently.

"Thank you, deacon. I'll go back first," Wu Heng said.

Imiro said again: "Moya, give him the application files for members of Team 11."

Moya walked out of it, holding a stack of documents in his hand.

Imiro said: "This is the file for applying to join Team 11. Didn't you introduce her? You can choose the personnel for her."

"so much?"

Moya smiled and said: "You have killed so many pirates and you are quite famous in the association. It is normal that there are many people who want to join Team 11."

"Oh, okay!" Wu Heng took it, "Then I'll go back first."

Imiro nodded.

Wu Heng exited the study directly.

…

Return to your office and study room.

Wu Heng sat at the desk and waited for a while.

Anderweil walked in with Kavina.

Wu Heng looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Kavina smiled bitterly and said: "The team lounge is surrounded by other team members, all asking about killing pirates."

Wu Heng smiled and said, "What's the matter? If you want to talk, just talk to them. If you don't want to, just say a few perfunctory words."

Kavina glanced at him angrily, "You think I'm also a deputy deacon. I just came here. How can I offend people casually?"

"It's okay, it will get better gradually. How are your injuries?" Wu Heng continued to ask.

"Basically, he's almost healed. There weren't any serious injuries." Kavina smiled.

Wu Heng nodded and handed her the pile of files he brought back.

Said: "These are the preparatory members from the deacon who want to join your eleventh team. You can choose them yourself and see what profession they need."

"Ah? You can choose by yourself!"

Kavina's eyes widened, and she took it subconsciously.

This is the back door.

Even the team members can be chosen by themselves.

"It is best to choose those recommended by the internal staff of the association. Those recommended by outsiders will be very troublesome in the future."

"Understood!" Kavina began to look through them one by one.

After reading them two or three times, she finally chose a ranger and a water warlock.

From the perspective of the team structure, reconnaissance and long-range output were added.

After handing it over again.

Wu Heng took a pen and signed directly on the paper, which was considered to be allowing the two people to join.

Then he asked Andwier to take them to the front desk for registration.

Kavina looked up and said, "Thank you!"

"What are you polite about? We are all family members."

"Yeah, that's right."

Kavina sat in the study for a while, and then returned to her team lounge.

The new member is likely to come to report in the afternoon.

Still have to wait in advance.

After Wu Heng had nothing to do, he said goodbye to Andwier.

Then he left the association, called a carriage, and went to Lighthouse Street.

...

Nautilus Tavern.

Wu Heng changed into a woman and walked directly into the tavern.

At this time, many people gathered in the tavern.

The pirate lady's mother, 'Millison', was smiling and greeting the guests.

The business of the tavern was much better than before.

There were many guests, and several more staff members were added.

At the door, there were two burly men who seemed to be guards responsible for maintaining order.

The whole tavern was well managed.

As soon as he entered the tavern, Millicent cast a glance, glanced upstairs, and Wu Heng went up directly.

Entered the room.

Not long after, Millicent also walked in.

Bowed, "Sir."

"Well, the tavern is well run."

After being praised, Millicent looked a little happy, "Thank you, sir."

"Any information recently?"

"Sir, please wait." Millicent immediately walked to the bed and looked for something inside.

Exaggerated waist-to-hip ratio, round buttocks facing outwards

People couldn't help but look at it several times.

Soon, Millicent took out a small book, opened it and said: "Five days ago, the port workers had a group fight, and the people in the Old Barrel Tavern were assassinated after they came out.

On the pirate side, the number of letters received from the sea god began to increase, and the looting tasks were basically connected... .

... There are also guests who said that the old king of the Kingdom of Yeko, who was in a coma, didn't know what kind of elixir he got, and there was a sign of awakening, and the situation in the kingdom has eased.

Yesterday, several people stayed in the hotel and talked about pirates. Their appearance was not on the wanted list, and it was not certain whether they were pirates."

Wu Heng sat aside and listened.

Somewhat surprised, the information recorded by the other party.

Although the content was mixed, there were still many useful things in it.

Places like taverns are indeed important places for collecting messy intelligence.

The number of times the pirates received blank envelopes began to increase, and it must have led to more frequent pirate actions.

This is not a good thing for the route.

There is also information from the Kingdom of Yeko.

The last time I heard about the old king, he said that he had fallen into a coma, and there was a civil strife among the princes fighting for power.

In the end, the old king is still alive?

How long has it been?

He is rich and powerful, and he can survive in a coma.

Wu Heng nodded, "The intelligence collection is good, and some of them are important to me."

"I should do it."

Wu Heng continued to take out two bottles of first-level potions and a space ring.

Said: "This is a 5-cubic space ring. You use it to store things. Don't expose it outside on weekdays to avoid attracting other people's attention."

"Yes, sir."

Millicent should know about the space ring. She was a little excited and didn't ask how to use it.

Wu Heng continued to introduce the potion, "This is a potion to enhance physical fitness. Drink it now, and I will help you watch it."

Millicent glanced at him carefully.

Still walked over, picked up the potion and drank it.

Then she covered her abdomen and groaned in pain.

Wu Heng supported her and whispered: "It will be fine soon, hold on."

After a minute or two.

The pain disappeared, and Millicent straightened up again.

"What do you feel?"

"I seem to have become stronger." Millicent said after feeling it.

"This is the effect of the potion. Don't tell anyone about this."

"Understood, sir."

Then, Millicent continued to drink the second bottle of potion.

Feeling the strengthening of her body, she showed a burst of joy.

Wu Heng looked at her and said, "Continue to collect intelligence. If it's important, go to the association to find me. If there's nothing else, I'll come to see you when I'm free."

"Yes, sir." Millicent saluted again.

Then the two walked out together.

Millicent sent him out of the tavern.

...

Leave the Nautilus.

Wu Heng was about to call a carriage to leave.

He saw the crowd on the street gathering towards the port.

It wasn't a riot, but more like there was something exciting to see.

Wu Heng also rushed to the port.

As soon as he approached.

He saw a fleet of blue and gold ships parked at the port.

On the masts of the ships, a blue pirate ship was hung.

A man wearing a simple white robe and a thick beard on his chin was standing at the port, staring at the crowd below with burning eyes.

He said loudly, "These evil pirates will get the punishment they deserve. I will continue to lead the fleet to sea and drive away pirates that harass the shipping routes."

As he spoke, he glanced down below with expectant eyes, seeming to be observing everyone's reactions.

Near the end, the person above said again: "Let us work together to restore the order that the Emerald Sea should have."

After saying that, a large number of silver-armored warriors came down from the rear ship, escorting the prisoners who looked like pirates.

"Lord Occam said that very well."

"Drive away the pirates!"

"It seems that Lord 'Occam' has killed many pirate groups."

"If we can really drive away the pirates, our business group will be able to go to sea normally."

Amidst the bursts of warm applause and cheers, Wu Heng also heard some comments.

Occam?

The pirate leader who was pardoned?
