Chapter 39: The Conferred God Ceremony (2)
Monsoons from the southwest waters bring a new round of rainstorms.
Many fishing boats fishing in offshore areas have returned to Modo Port, and ships of seafood are transported by sailors, and many of them are made into salted fish and transported to other places for sale. The profit of selling salted fish is not on the fish. Most of the time, salted fish are sold directly as a substitute for sea salt, because the amount of salt stuffed with these salted fish is actually quite powerful.
A dark cloud appeared in the distance.
It can be foreseen that a heavy rain is coming, and many merchants are busy packing things, and the fleet is docking at the port to put away sails. The sailors and laborers shouted trumpets to speed up the transport of goods, because as they gradually became familiar with the weather overseas, they also knew that the rainstorm would come faster than they imagined. The shops moved the goods outside, but the tavern next door was still lively. Many pirates still lived a drunken life, and the Temple of Wealth built a luxurious tavern directly in the Port of Modo.
It offers expensive wines, and beautiful** from the South Coast.
There are also some civilians in Modo Port. Most of them are craftsmen with craftsmanship and live here after they are free. Soren did not restrain them too much. They could come and go freely and live the life they wanted. But at this time, there were very few people who were really willing to leave because they heard that many places on the entire South Coast were violently circulating. News about Modo Port was very fast. Many people are quite clear about what the situation is like on the mainland. Either fight here or there. It is simply too long to run out at this time.
A cargo ship docked slowly at the port.
The dock clerk, who was about fifty years old, walked quickly over with a teenage boy behind him.
"The cost of docking for foreign ships, medium-sized cargo ships is five silver delle in one day."
The secretary nodded with a smile, then stretched out his palm, and soon the captain threw a small purse over. He shook it with the purse, listened to the crisp sound of impact inside, and then smiled and quickly recorded: "Ten Yindlers, dock for two days."
The little boy behind him stared at him wide-eyed. He was just a little follower, occasionally helping adults run errands to get something.
If you can get five copper delers a day, someone will be rewarded with good luck.
soon.
The clerk left here and it was about to rain.
He is also a decent official with a status as a port of Modo, responsible for collecting the fees for docking merchant ships. If he is soaked like a chicken, he will lose face.
The sailors on the cargo ship began to carry things.
At this time, two figures in black cloaks appeared on the deck. They nodded to the captain and jumped down lightly.
“Is this Modo City?”
A slightly tender male voice sounded. The silver-white armor light could be vaguely seen under the black cloak. He looked around carefully and murmured: "It's different from what I imagined! I thought this would be another city of wealth!"
The vicissitudes of eyes are staring here.
An older man glanced around and said slowly: "It is indeed different from what we imagined. The pirate king Sauron is a demon who kills without blinking, a son of fear of a crazy destruction, a cruel dictator, a cunning and insidious villain!..."
"But here comes."
"Whether it is the Bay of Shipwrecks, the Port of Terro, the Island of Nusha, or the City of Modo today, we see some of the order. I thought the rule of pirates would be brutal and chaotic, but what I never expected was that what I saw along the way was strict order and strict laws, and it seemed that people under his rule. Both civilians and merchants lived better than elsewhere!"
They saw pirates who violated the law and discipline on Nusha Island. They were hung up by the law enforcement team and sucked them for more than ten times, and their entire backs were covered in blood.
Along the way they saw the prosperity of the South Coast.
While wars and starving in other places were everywhere, the entire South Coast was still in normal order. People were not affected by the arrival of turmoil for the time being, and the civilians in these places lived a good life.
In the dark corner.
There was a faint figure watching the two men who came off the cargo ship, one of them slowly said, "Who is coming? Do you need to report it? Recently, there are many people from Modo Port!"
The figure of the wanderer is inconspicuous in the corner.
The man in charge looked carefully for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's just two paladins."
"There is no need to care too much about them, they will leave themselves after a while."
Paladins won't be a threat.
Because everything in Modo gives people a sense of confidence that they will not be enemies of the paladins.
The figures of two paladins were observing everything here.
The legend of Sauron has spread throughout the continent, and there are various rumors about him everywhere. As a force to protect the world's justice and kindness, the paladins also noticed the legendary evil pirate king who has risen rapidly.
The Great Devil of Sauron!
There are actually many rumors about him, but it seems that the rumors are different from what they see in front of them.
Because before they came to Modo, the Sauron they imagined should be an evil demon king, and countless people died under his hands. He controlled the South Coast with cruel rule and violence, forcing others to surrender to his feet. Before coming to the South Coast, they heard a lot of rumors about him along the way. In addition to the powerful strength of Sauron, he was more arrogant, extravagant, cruel and bloodthirsty, debauchery, insidious and cunning, etc.
As if it were natural, they became extremely angry!
As paladins who protect justice, they wished they could kill the Great Demon King Sauron directly.
But.
As they gradually approached the coast, the rumors they heard were different.
The evil Demon King Sauron seemed to have become a heroic figure, unified the pirates from all over the world with iron fist, and then rose rapidly with the opportunity, and eventually became the most powerful pirate king ever! It seems that people still say that he is cruel and ruthless, and is a person with extremely ruthless means, but it seems that he is no longer described as a demon.
Go ahead like this.
When they came to the bustling Port of Taro, their ideas were once again subverted. The extremely evil Demon King Sauron became an idol worshipped and recited by the common people, believing that he brought the current wealth status of Port of Taro. Whether it is the route of Arendell or the route of Oriental Seas, Port of Taro is now about to have the strength comparable to the city of wealth. In the eyes of many civilians, the extremely evil Demon King Sauron is a wise ruler, a capable figure like a king.
Although he still had comments such as cruel and ruthless means and ruthless, all other statements seemed to have disappeared.
As long as the Great Demon King Sauron is mentioned, even the civilians at the bottom of the class know that this honor attaches great importance to the commitment! His reputation among civilians at the bottom of the class seems to have been reversed. Although people respect him, they also support him very much.
Everything seems like a drama!
final.
The two paladins definitely come and see the legendary city of Modo, the city of miracle that rose to the overseas archipelago, gathered a large amount of wealth in a very short time and affected the trade structure of the entire South Coast.
Modo, Modo.
This place, which was described in other rumors as the city of Demon City of Mordor, completely subverted the concept of the two paladins and truly felt silent.
Son of Killing?
Fear the Son of God?
A bloody and cruel dictator?
The evil and depraved licentious person?
In this place called Modo, they saw the prosperity of civilians living and working in peace and prosperity in trade, they saw the strict and orderly law, they saw an unprecedented city of civilization, where there was no dirty and messy in other cities, nor the poor refugees wandering on the streets. Even the hardworking workers who live at the bottom, they were wearing complete clothes and a hint of healthy blush on their faces, which meant that they had been away from hunger for a long time.
You can hear the children's play, the sound of merchants bargaining in front, and the patrol of a solemn public security team further away.
Here.
They actually saw something more prosperous, energetic and hopeful than the territory under the control of the Radiant Church, and all this was not brought by justice and kindness, but from a great devil named Sauron.
It's really ironic!
