The land area of ​​the Greenland Empire was the smallest among the five empires. Because it was an island country, this country had been fighting against the turbulent sea. The indigenous people on the island attached great importance to the shipbuilding industry and attracted a large number of dwarf craftsmen. Now the shipbuilding industry in the Greenland Empire was very developed.

Carlin Port was a crescent-shaped harbor. There were many ships entering and leaving every day. The dock was always a busy scene. It started from the first ray of dawn in the east and was busy until the moonlight disperses.

On the cliff of the port was engraved a statue of a great navigator, Hearn the Prince of Navigation. He was the founder of the era of great navigation. He led the fleet to explore the unknown seas and opened up new routes, which made people from the Dragon Continent reach the Ancient Continent.

The rise of the new civilization enabled the calendar again, and this era was called the Golden Ocean Calendar, which began in 1400 when Hearn set sail.

After three hundred years, the people of Dragon Continent still pay respect to this navigator, whether it is a businessman, a pirate, or a navy.

Hearn was a symbol, a symbol of the beginning of the era of great sailing!

No matter how dangerous the sea is, it cannot stop people's ambition to conquer it!

One day in the Harvest Moon of 1745 in the Golden Ocean Calendar, the Black Pearl and the Mandela pushed the waves and slid into the embrace of Port Carlin. The two ships were docked side by side. It was not very conspicuous in a long row of moored ships.

Ding! You arrived at Carlin Port and obtained basic information about this port.

Tonk got such a message as soon as he landed on the shore, and he opened it immediately.

He glanced around, clicked a few times on various buildings, and got some introductions. For example, he could know what goods were inside and the prices of these goods by clicking on the exchange. This information on goods is of great benefit to merchants. Knowing the actual price of the goods does not need to worry about being deceived and saves time for investigation. If someone can grasp the trade information of multiple ports, they will grasp the best business opportunities and make huge profits by reselling the goods.

However, Tonk had no interest in doing business.

The two boats were on the bulwark. The people on both sides stood on the sides of the boat and looked at each other. The atmosphere was a bit weird.

"This is the dividend I promised to give to your crew members, as well as the funeral expenses for the dead crew members." Tonk kicked the box next to him and said to the female captain in front of him.

"Thank you," Elizabeth said.

"There's no need to say thank you. Without your people, I wouldn't be able to grab the Black Pearl." Tonk shrugged.

"Goodbye then, captain pirate." She smiled brightly like the sunlight reflected from the sea and waved her slender and graceful hands.

"Maybe we can meet at sea again."

"I hope you won't kidnap me again next time." She blinked and joked. , her mood was lifted because she arrived at the shore.

"I'll try my best to control myself," Tonk said solemnly.

Elizabeth smiled sweeter, her eyes narrowed into crescents, and her whole body became more beautiful and moving. The sailors were all fascinated, some had lustful glances on her chests and legs, and some had fascinated eyes on her face and blond hair.

Tonk also liked this heroic and feminine woman. Actually, he was a more broad-minded person, and he liked all women with beauty and character.

The Mandela crew breathed a sigh of relief when they got to the shore. They were all beaming with joy after seeing their captain and the gold coins. It didn't know which one they were closer to.

Elizabeth put away the gold coin box. The two boats were about to remove the slats. She was about to leave, but she thought about it and then turned back.

"Tonk, how long have you been a pirate? I haven't heard of any pirate captain named Tonk before, and you are still an Oriental." She asked seriously.

"Why do you think of asking this?" Tonk teased casually, "What? Want me to take you into the business?"

She didn't answer this question and still asked about Tonk's pirate history. Only then did Tonk answer: "I've just only been a pirate captain for more than a month."

"Don't tell me that you only wanted to be a pirate captain when you were at sea." She said dumbly.

Tonk thought for a while and said, "It's not so much a temporary initiative, it's better to say that I was forced to be helpless."

He was drifting at sea when he crossed over to the world, so there was no choice. Although now he can choose to be an ordinary person on land and give up the convenience brought by the pirate system, he resolutely gave up this cowardly idea after he glanced at the tired boat trackers in the port.

Elizabeth stared at Tonk for a long time without speaking, which made Tonk misunderstand that she was interested in him. He was very proud and he repaid the past with a pair of affectionate eyes.

She said sincerely: "I can see that you are not a hopelessly bad person. Why don't you give up this dangerous and evil business before your head is put on a bounty? In fact, it is not bad to be an armed businessman. As long as it is managed properly, it only takes a few years of hard work at sea to become a rich man."

Several imperial navies were fighting against pirates from hostile countries, and there were also a group of guys called bounty hunters at sea, who were also hunting those high-bounty criminals. It can be said that pirates are a group of high-risk criminal occupations. The sea is their paradise and their graveyard.

Tonk laughed. It turned out that she wanted to make himself better. He knew what was wrong and appreciated it, but shook his head and said, "Thank you for your advice, but I don't have that plan yet, and I think pirates sound cooler than businessmen."

"It's up to you, I didn't expect to persuade you in a few words." She didn't show any disappointment. She turned around and walked away, and returned to her boat in a few steps.

"Hey, why don't you have a parting kiss or something?" Tonk shouted.

The hostility that the crew of the Mandela had just resolved was raging again, and they all stared at the bastard who seduce their female captain.

Elizabeth did not turn around again, ignoring this sentence. She instructed the crew to stand side by side to distribute the comfort money, and a part of it to be sent to the families of the deceased. This was her conduct and responsibility as a merchant ship captain.

Tonk was also busy here. After he docked, he disembarked and dealt with the port authority officials at the port, paid the berthing fee, and filled out a document with his relevant information. Tonk's physical appearance is a standard Oriental. Since he had no legal nationality, he had to go to the Governor's Palace to apply for a temporary residence permit. This procedure was very formal, which gave Tonk a new understanding of the integrity of the political system of the other world.

But thinking about it, even if the musket was invented here, how could the system be backward?

The process of applying for his documents was very depressing. Fortunately, the officials here were tepid, and they were quick to do things. Otherwise, he would not have the patience to apply for a temporary residence permit, and it would be more free and easy to be in a black household.

He is the kind of person who hates rules and believes that the meaning of rules is to be broken.

The official costumes here were interesting. They all wore wigs with many curls on their heads. The wigs were white or gray and thick.

Tonk saw that those with wigs were sweating profusely from the heat, so he felt that the fee was not in vain.

Although pirates are a group of people who pursue freedom, they also have to have forces behind them. Most of the pirates will choose to have a good relationship with a country so that they can get supply ports. No one will make enemies everywhere.

If you really want to be a pirate who loots indiscriminately, you can only find some special ports for supplies. Such as some ports that provide resources for pirates, and those ports make money from pirates. In addition, there was a force called Pirate City on the sea. They would open their doors to welcome all pirates and provide protection for pirates, similar to an independent regime on the sea.

Tonk started to wander around after completing the formalities. Some dwarves could be seen on the road from time to time. They were quite rough, and they made loud noises as if no one else was walking on the street.

In addition to more humans and dwarves, he could occasionally see some beautiful elves.

Tonk didn't like male elves, but the female elves were very attractive to him. He was very concerned about their long pointy ears. He guessed that those ears must be very sensitive, so he wanted to touch them.

Tonk had always been daring. He stopped the two female elves in broad daylight and started a conversation. This showed his rogue wisdom. If he blocks a single female elf, afraid she will shout when she sees him. If he blocks a female elf with a man by his side, the elf man will fight without saying a word. The best choice is to block pairs of female elves, so as not to be abrupt.

He tried his best to pretend to be a good man, but his rogue temperament betrayed him. The two female elves were very vigilant, and they looked like they were going to shout at any time.

"Actually, I just want to tell you two something. I'm willing to give 5 gold coins, just so that I can touch one of the two of you's ears. Of course, you two together is fine."

"Rogue!" One of the female elves shouted with blushing anger and slapped Tonk.

Tonk saw that the little hand was very tender, so he didn't hide, and there was a red handprint on his face. He didn't stalk them and let the two female elves go. He was a guy who played life as a game. He smiled and shook his head, but he didn't care.

Unexpectedly, the two female elves came back and stopped Tonk instead.

"What? Do you want to slap me again?" Tonk refused this time. The slap before was not light.

Among them, the fair-skinned female elf shilly-shallies a few times, restrained her arrogance, and said softly, "I think about it carefully, 5 gold coins are ok. You can touch it, but you have to pay first."

Tonk rolled his eyes, so why did you hit me just now?

These five gold coins are really not a small amount. If he exchanges it for silver coins, it is a bag. If he exchanges it for copper coins, he can pile it up into a small mountain. He spent the money and got his wish to touch the elf's ear, satisfying his curiosity for a while. The hand feels nothing special, just the ears, but the female elf with red cheeks kept urging Tonk to hurry up with the sound of just like a mosquito.

It seemed that the two female elves were decent girls, and they ran away in a hurry, for fear that Tonk would talk about excessive demands.

Tonk used the investigative technique on the two girls, but he didn't get any more information except the name and race. He secretly decided that he must upgrade his investigation skills in the future. It would be more practical if he could even investigate the home address.

He thought about it this way and habitually called up the pirate system. He was dumbfounded when he saw it. The interface turned gray, and there was a prompt on it.
