Wizard: Surviving in the Steam Age with Points for Demon Hunter

Chapter 333 The Breath of “Freedom”
Kordo Sea, Alexei Island.

Compared with the previous two days, the number of people coming and going on the island has increased significantly.

Pirates wearing oilskin breeches and jackets can be seen everywhere, and there are even hundreds of captains wearing tricorn hats.

Not to mention, there are many noble families from various continents who come to compete for the station, as well as some sects, wizards and other extraordinary people who rarely operate in the sea.

The surge in the number of people not only made Alexey Island lively, but also caused some problems.

The first is the issue of docking of ships in the port.

At this time, the two major ports in the north and south of the island were full of ships, and many three-masted sailing ships had to go to the cliff ports on the east and west sides to seize the docking positions of small ships.

Fortunately, the ruling party in the city-state of Alexei, the former Black Pearl pirate and current city-state governor "Beautiful Hands" Flanda Carneiro, ordered the establishment of additional ports, which to a certain extent alleviated the problem of ships docking outside the island.

Otherwise, just seizing the docking position of the ship will make these arrogant, arrogant, and free pirates break their heads.

The second problem is that the locations of each area in the city-state have not been finalized yet, resulting in many people being forced to stay outside the trading area or outside the high wall.

The happiest people are the owners of these taverns. Two days ago, they were worried about the income of their taverns. Now they are worried about nothing. Counting the gold pounds can make their hands cramp.

It couldn't be that the demigod had taken action and asked the Church of Storms to send a saint to assist in the defense of Alexei Island, right?

This left almost all the pubs full.

At this moment, the ship was much empty and quiet. Except for the captain and a dozen heroic knights who stayed behind, there was no one else.

"The Araniga only lost one three-masted sailboat..."

In fact, Alexei Island is not what it used to be, and almost no one dares to fight privately or have conflicts on the island.

"Damn it, the Araniga started the war with such a big fanfare, the entire Cordo Sea area was in chaos!"

"Praise be to the dawn."

Whether it is the location of the tavern lobby or the private rooms and rooms inside, they have reached the limit of what they can bear.

"Since the beginning of the Araniga's full-scale declaration of war on the Black Pearl, the Black Pearl has lost five occupied islands in the past three days! 'Crazy Eyes' Faris Sanborn, 'Sea Knight' Dies Terra Ole, 'Witch' Latoya Alucard...died in battle!"

But it can only be regarded as pressure——

But some people were very unhappy - especially those girls who used to wish they had customers every day, but they only lasted two days and then directly hung up the "rest" sign.

He looked in the direction of the city-state, thought for a few seconds, then walked directly to the outlet at the bottom of the cabin, and sailed toward the deep sea on the sloop.

"My Lord, after receiving the order from Your Majesty, she asked you to go to the sea two hundred kilometers to the north and wait to meet Eve Hendricks, the 'Freedom' Saint of the Church of Storms, and her party."

I don’t know why the “freedom” saint came to this island.

In other words, because of the large number of people here, the news spread faster on the island.

"Special statement: The content published in the Cordo Gazette shall be based on actual facts. No exaggeration will be made. We will never participate in any disputes in the Cordo waters!"

"Your Majesty didn't say it clearly, but it should be like this."

As for the last problem brought about by the number of people, it is the pressure on public security inside and outside the city-state.

"I see."

"Didn't you see that there have been many pirate ships on Alexei Island in the past few days?"

Under the leadership of the "heroic" saint Shizi Sepulda, they all stationed themselves in the city-state.

It’s not possible without rest.

In that case, it's simply... funny!
……

Even girls with extraordinary characteristics cannot withstand such continuous lashings.

"The captain of the Araniga, Suad the Cantor, announced that he is recruiting pirates from the entire Cordo Sea. The goal is to defeat the Black Pearl and kill the 'Emperor of the Sea' Isabello Clijsters. …”

"It would be better if there was chaos. The 'Emperor of the Sea' has ruled for too long. The dominance of the Black Pearl should have been ended long ago!"

Thousands of copies of the Kordo Gazette were mailed to Alexei Island and spread to every corner of the city-state.

The pirates who came to patronize lined up at the door with green eyes. Almost as soon as one came out, the second customer was already seated.

From Ronislaw's perspective, he could also see the figures of two groups of heroic knights standing guard on the high wall.

Ronisław Kurban, the leader of the Valiant Knights, sang a hymn to the Great Dawn, stood on the Hazel Stryker with a cold face, and scanned the situation inside and outside the city-state over and over again.

"The Black Pearl is completely defeated!!"

Regardless of whether they are pirates or extraordinary nobles, the topic everyone talks about is the sudden change in the Kordo Sea.

Leaving aside the matters outside the island for now, the city-state of Alexei is already bustling with people and bustling with excitement.

"Crazy, all crazy!"

Just because everyone who comes to this island can immediately see the Hazel Stryker docked outside the island, flying the flag of the Church of the Dawn, and the mark standing behind the bow of the ship—— The emblem of the Knights of Valor showing two swords reflecting the sun.

"Church of Storms? 'Freedom' Saint?" Ronislaw frowned, "Are they going to stay on Alexei Island?"

No matter how many pirates or noble merchants came, order remained in order inside and outside the city-state.

Ronislaw waved his hand and said nothing more.

"Latest news from Cordo Gazette——"

The arrival of the pirates not only brought a large amount of gold pounds, but also brought news from the outside.

"How can the Araniga be any better? Will it eventually become what it looks like in the Pirate Code?"

"..."

The Araniga, which was originally the weak side, had a lot of scenery in the past two days, which made the pirates become more and more optimistic.

……

And just when everyone on the island was attracted by the events in the Cordo Sea area, the "Regulations on the Residential Area, Shop Area, and Trading Area of ​​the Alexey City-State" and the latest "Alexei City-State Settlement Rules" were also released in the castle. Island Regulations.

Not only that, with the release of the settlement rules, the review of settlement applications has also started outside the central castle, which caused pirate groups, family representatives, sects and others to flock in.

"Everyone lined up, registered, and then paid the deposit as required and signed the Alexei Island Convention..."

Ubli, who still assumed the identity of "The Slayer" Honattan, was in charge. Old Jack assisted from the side and led the city-state guards to receive the representatives coming and going.

"Sir 'Slayer', are the rules for entering the island too strict? Do you need to pay 10,000 gold pounds as a deposit? Such a fee..."

"Yeah, isn't such a high cost too much?"

Ubli glared at those who raised objections and snorted: "If you can't even get ten thousand gold pounds, please go back directly."

"Lord 'Slayer', you..."

"Didn't you hear clearly?! The "Rules" are very clear. The deposit can be returned when you leave Alexei Island."

"Attention, ten thousand gold pounds is the minimum deposit required for settlement in the lowest area. The deposit required for the highest level area in the garrison area is one hundred thousand gold pounds!" "If you don't want to, please leave. Don't waste everyone's time, let alone attract heroes. Knights, I think you should understand how serious the consequences are."

Ubli does not tolerate them. You must know that this rule is the result of several days of discussion between the three of them. The purpose is just to allow these people to prove that they have a certain strength.

After all, pirate groups and nobles who can't even afford 10,000 gold pounds, how can people believe that they can build rune arrays and defenses in the areas where they are stationed?
If you don't even have such an ability, once there is another extraordinary battle similar to the projection of the Lord of the Abyss and the Saint of the Orthodox Church on the island, there will be heavy casualties.

"Sir 'Slayer' is right. If you don't even have this few gold pounds, it's better not to stay on the island permanently. When you encounter danger, it will only bring trouble to everyone." A man wearing a noble dress The middle-aged man pinched his thin beard and smiled.

"Yes, it's only ten thousand gold pounds. Is it a lot?" The man wearing the blood-red robe of the Despair Sect said with a cold expression.

"It doesn't matter whether you have gold pounds or not. The safety of the island is very important. I don't think anyone would dare to cause a sacrificial ceremony or anything like that on this island, right?" the heroic knights sneered.

"This is inevitable!"

"Everything is based on the Rules and Regulations. How dare you offend..." Ubli didn't care about the disputes between these church sects and hummed: "The 'Disaster Wizard' and the Ghost School don't care about your identity!"

"Natural and natural..."

Hearing the ridicule of those around them, several pirate groups who were obviously not that wealthy could only leave in despair.

"Okay, the irrelevant people have left. Now start from the trading area, and proceed from the lower area to the higher area. Let's get started..."

……

At the same time, in the castle, Mitra did not continue to use forbidden objects to change her body shape. She wore a pink short skirt. The tulle material allowed her beautiful figure to be clearly displayed.

She looked at the square below with a smile on her face, not caring at all about the "heroic" saint behind her who was glaring at her with a cold face.

After a long time, Xizi suppressed the urge to kill the Desire Sect's followers in front of her, and said in a cold tone with a hint of impatience:

"Ms. Mitra, I hope you can tell me the purpose of the 'Freedom' Saint and her party coming to this island."

"I'm sorry, Captain Hachizi, I don't know about this either."

Mitra did not look back and said lightly: "I just received the official letter from the Church of Storms and received it as a routine according to the rules set by the master."

"Master?" Xizhi frowned and asked, "Does the 'master' you refer to as the 'disaster wizard'?"

"Of course," Mitra put her hands on the window sill, swayed her hips, and said noncommittally: "Did you think he would be an ugly guy like the Lord of Desire?"

"Oh? Have you even abandoned your faith?"

"I've never had that thing, so how can I talk about abandoning it?"

Xizhi paused. She did not expect to hear such blasphemous words from a favored member of the Desire Sect.

Although these are not words from the mouth of a believer of Dawn Church, they are still the words of a believer who believes in God.

She couldn't help but feel very strange...

"Where is the official letter from the Church of Storms? I want to take a look."

"No, Captain Xizhi."

Mitra tilted her head, and following her movements, half of the hanging clock swayed, and she said with a smile: "According to the rules, your identity is only the leader of the guard regiment, and you cannot participate in the internal affairs of the island. Please, please Don’t make things difficult for me.”

Xizhi: "..."

In her heart, she was about to pull out the holy sword and chop the person in front of her.

If it weren't for the request of the demigod wizard and the order of the sanctuary, she would never have had any possibility of dialogue with the people of the Desire Sect.

"Do you want to take action?" Mitra's smile remained the same, even brighter. She turned around and opened her hands, as if she was ready to be slaughtered.

"Humph!"

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, then Xizhi snorted and turned her head, "Then why did you call me here?"

"Although you can't participate in the affairs of the island, you still have the right to know. What's more, when the 'Freedom' Saint and her entourage come to the island, you will also be responsible for the relevant security issues. I don't think you will refuse. ?”

"..."

Seeing how confident she was, Xizi gritted her teeth again and endured.

"I understand. I will follow the rules of the island and cooperate with you——"

"So much the better,"

Mitra turned around and continued to look at the settlement activities below, and said in a calm tone: "If it weren't for the request of the chief wizard of the Ghost School, based on the character of the master, I would never agree to you Dawn people staying on the island."

"Compared to you, master hates Dawn more, do you understand?"

"heresy!"

"Please don't use such words to describe the master. The consequences are not something you can bear!"

Hearing her words, Xizhi pursed her lips and turned around angrily.

"I'm going to meet 'Liberty' Saint Eve Hendricks and will bring them to the island later."

"That's fine..."

Not long after, Mitra saw a figure radiating golden light appearing across the sky outside the island, and couldn't help but curl her lips.

That demigod wizard, why do you let such a troublesome guy stay on the island?
Not only was it in the way, but more importantly, the power of the Holy Dawn made her, a beloved with the power of desire and belief, very uncomfortable.

It feels like it could be torn apart by a sudden burst of force at any time...

……

"Woo——"

The whistle blew, and a huge steam engine ship like the Araniga appeared in the waters near Alexei Island.

At this time, Ronisław Kurban, the leader of the Heroic Knights of the Church of Dawn, who had already arrived, had a solemn face and a tall and straight figure set off by a thick platinum armor. He stood on the small boat and looked at the steamship in the distance.

In the distance, he could see the dark blue hull of the steamship, like the color of the deep sea, with three huge flags bearing the logo of the Church of the Storm hanging above it.

On the flat deck, the statue of Storm Lady, made of cast metal, was lifelike. Her long hair circled around the side of the steamship. Her concave and convex figure stood at the bow of the ship, heading towards him.

"dawn?"

"Ronisław Kurban, the leader of the Heroic Knights of the Church of Dawn, but the 'Freedom' Saint of the Church of Storms is on board?"

"it's me."

A crisp voice, spanning a distance of hundreds of kilometers, was clearly transmitted:
"The heroic knight... I wonder where the 'heroic' saint Shizi Sepulda is?"

"Your Majesty is waiting on the island."

Ronisław had already seen the figure of the "freedom" saint, turned around expressionlessly, and the boat headed towards Alexey Island at his feet.

"Please come with me, Lord Eve!"
