Pirates of the First Empire

Chambord Islands, Mangrove No.13, Xia Qi's Blackmail Tavern.

In the deserted tavern, there was still only one grey-haired old man and the short-haired proprietress present. Obviously, the signboard of the tavern did not please the guests.

After a bottle of wine, Lei Li stood up, walked towards the door, and said slowly while walking, "Xia Qi, I'm going out for a walk."

"Hey, why are you going?"

"Ah, I'll go for a walk."

"Don't go out these two days, it may be chaotic outside."

"Are you worried about me? Xia Qi."

"..."

Xia Qi didn't answer Lei Li's words, but just gave him a blank stare. The older this guy is, the less serious he becomes. Fortunately, when Roger was on the boat, this guy was called the most reliable deputy by his partners. captain.

Seeing Xia Qi's actions, Lei Li stopped going out, went back to the bar and sat down, picked up Xia Qi's half-drunk wine, and poured it into his own mouth without any hesitation.

"Tell me, what information have you received?"

Lei Li naturally heard that Xia Qi had something to say, and their bar also ran an intelligence business, but these were usually managed by Xia Qi, and Lei Li didn't care about it.

"Who else is it? The only one who can do things in the Chambord Islands during this time is that scary little brother."

"Who? . . . You mean, Andre Doyle?"

When Lei Li heard that Xia Qi was referring to Doyle, he no longer looked drunk, but instead looked interested, he thought for a while and said.

"It seems that nothing major has happened in the Chambord Islands recently, right? No, there is still a strange thing."

"I heard that almost everyone in the lawless place has been very busy recently, and the slave traders are constantly transporting "goods" here, and some people have seen that the ones being transported are not ordinary humans..."

Lei Li often wanders outside, and he can still know some not-so-secret news, but that's all. After all, he didn't intentionally collect information, but just overheard something.

"Hey, could it be..."

"Well, you guessed it right. It was written by the Kingdom of Andre. We have received information that the Kingdom of Andre needs a large number of miners to mine iron ore in the windless zone."

"And their King Andre loves the people like a son, and he can't bear to let his people dig mines, so there was that Prince Doyle's big purchase of non-human slaves..."

After finishing the information received, Xia Qi lit the bong and took a deep breath. The information was actually not important to her.

Moreover, years of experience in intelligence work told her that these were only the most superficial intelligence, and it was even likely to be a smoke bomb released by Andre's people.

Raleigh also knew that it must not be that simple, but because he didn't know much information, he couldn't figure out some of the joints.

"Anything else? Brother Doyle isn't in Chambord now, is he? Why did he go?"

Raleigh immediately found the key point, and thought of Doyle himself, thinking that it should be related to what happened when Doyle was not in the Chambord Islands.

"Brother Doyle has indeed done another great thing."

"Just today, King Neptune and Princess Otohime of the Fishman Island Dragon Palace publicly announced an unprecedented event—"

"Dragon Palace Kingdom has formally established diplomatic relations with the Human Kingdom, and this Human Kingdom is exactly Brother Doyle's Andre Kingdom."

After Lei Li finished listening, although his face didn't change much, his constricted pupils revealed his inner unrest. He knew very well what the Fishman Island represented, and he also knew exactly what Andre's actions meant...

It seems that something big is indeed about to happen, it's better not to go out these two days, if you want to be involved in those complicated whirlpools, I'm afraid you will also be troubled.

……

"That's how things are, that's why I said, this guy should be regarded as a gift for Xiao Baixing to be precise."

This time, Doyle didn't use the illusion world to fool people, but directly hypnotized Van der Dyken IX, and then constructed scenes one by one.

Let Van der Dyken IX follow his own heart, and under fixed conditions, do what he would choose one by one, that is, restore the situation in the original book, and then let Van der Dyken IX choose his own response method.

In the end, no surprise, in the last choice of "Desperate", Van der Dyken IX, who was in a hurry, still chose to throw "Noah" to Murloc Island, wanting to die with Murloc Island.

The three of Neptune looked at each other. They had actually thought about asking about the situation of "Hoddy Jones" before, but they didn't know about the second "scourge" mentioned by Doyle at the time. What clue.

It's just that Otohime and Neptune felt that Otohime Doyle had helped them too much, and they shouldn't continue to bother him, and at least they knew who the other party was, so they could deal with it slowly, so they didn't mention this to Doyle. thing.

Neptune didn't expect that Doyle actually sent this "second scourge" directly to his door, and he took it as a gift and let the Dragon Palace Kingdom handle it. Sure enough, his choice was correct!

"Prince Doyle, we understand the situation."

"Thank you very much for eliminating a future disaster for us, for the Fishman Island. It is our honor that the Dragon Palace Kingdom has an ally like you, Andre."

Neptune put his posture very low, from which it can be seen that facing Doyle and the Andre Kingdom, they are indeed on the "weak" side.

"You're welcome. In fact, our "prophet" also has a lot of troubles. I "see" the picture of this guy trying to bully Xiao Baixing. I'm not angry at all. It's for me to solve this guy this time. Take a breath."

Doyle said sincerely, yes, he was sincere, but what he saw was his previous life, and this emotion was also the real emotion when he saw that picture.

So, hearing what he said, even Otohime couldn't see any flaws, only full of sincerity.

"Prince Doyle, I can sympathize with your feelings. Xia Li also had such emotions before, and this may be a price for you to obtain the prophecy!"

Otohime said with a wry smile, predicting some unpleasant future, but unable to change it, other people may not understand this kind of feeling, but she can empathize with them by relying on her knowledge.

However, Otohime believes that there is an essential difference between the two of them, that is——

Xia Li really doesn't have the ability to change the future, but the Doyle in front of her probably has already changed the future into what she wants one after another, right?
