Of course, the more incompetent and corrupt the officials, the better these merchants thrive!
During the "Divine Revelation" version 3.0, he had spent a significant amount of time in this city, becoming quite familiar with it, whether it was ocean exploration or opening up the story in another world.
He never expected that in the blink of an eye, he would be reborn into this world, and this city would soon become his future territory.
As the [Hurricane] gradually approached Danerluo Port, Lis, with his keen vision, naturally noticed a flurry of chaos at the harbor. In no time, dozens of fully armed warriors arrived on the docks, their weapons firmly trained on the [Hurricane].
Lis could also feel two Gold-level presences rapidly approaching, with him as their target.
Do they think I'm the [Blood Shark]?
Lis shook his head, unconcerned, and waited quietly at the bow of the ship.
It wasn't long before Lis saw two figures bypassing the docks of Danerluo Port and charging towards the [Hurricane] that was underway.
One was using a Flying Technique, probably a Gold-level Mage.
The other was charging over directly atop the sea surface; it looked like another Gold-level Warrior.
It must be said, even at Gold level, the number of those in the Warrior profession is truly high!
Lis was indifferent; he didn't feel any threat from these two Gold-level professionals.
Neither of them seemed as experienced as Halil, who was stationed at Giant Horn Port—one could tell they hadn't come up through many battles, but had climbed up the ranks step by step.
Most of the powerhouses stationed in cities are . After breaking through to the Gold level, it becomes very difficult to continue improving their strength.
However, this isn't without its benefits. Once you've become Gold level and have no hope of breaking through to Legend, who wouldn't want to live a little better?
These two had descended before the [Hurricane], blocking its path.
"What's the situation?"
The Gold Mage Ivor looked at the [Hurricane] in front of him, somewhat uncertain and asked his companion for advice.
As soon as he got the report from the dock manager, he hurried over.
The [Hurricane] appearing outside the port, seemingly preparing to enter, raised the question: What was going on?
Could it be that Patrick, that guy, wanted to attack Danerluo Port?
But as he approached the [Hurricane], he began to hesitate again.
Though there was indeed a Gold-level presence on the ship, it was clearly not the [Blood Shark].
Had the [Hurricane] changed hands?
This wouldn't be anything unusual for other pirate ships, but the [Blood Shark] Patrick was something else. The Kingdom Navy had chased him multiple times, and each time he'd managed to escape. Ivor knew firsthand how troublesome the [Blood Shark] was on the high seas.
"What else can we do but ask directly!"
The Golden Warrior Grace said sternly, showing no other emotions.
Even if it really was the [Blood Shark], he wouldn't stand a chance with two Gold-level professionals teaming up.
After all, the reason he was troublesome was because he was too slippery on the high seas, but his actual strength wasn't that strong.
While the two discussed, a young man appeared on the [Hurricane], slowly flying towards them.
Both noticed the Gold-level presence they had sensed was emanating from this person, and were surprised by Lis's youth.
"May I know your name, sir, and this [Hurricane], is..."
Ivor greeted Lis with a slight bow as a gesture of goodwill, while Grace, standing beside him, kept quiet and watched Lis's actions cautiously.
The two had been stationed at Danerluo Port for a long time and had developed an understanding between them.
Lis said with a smile, then continued,
"As for the [Hurricane], of course, it was taken from the hands of Patrick."
Ivor was surprised— if that was true, could it be that Patrick...
Lis didn't play coy but was straightforward and forthcoming.
"The [Blood Shark] Patrick died at my hands, his body and those of his pirate followers are all on the ship."
"I am here to collect their bounties mainly."
Looking at the harmless smile on Lis's face and his calm words, Ivor suddenly felt like he might have encountered a tough figure.
Pirates in the Pearl Sea had their own bounties set, some by the Bodichi Navy, others offered by merchants pooling funds.
Due to a significant reduction in the Bodichi Navy's power, the Pearl Sea was now a place where heroes rose together, quite chaotic.
But for those Gold-level pirates, the amount of bounty didn't mean much, as almost no one could collect on their heads.
Keep in mind, previously, the more powerful the pirate, the more they were the target of the Bodichi Navy's cleansing operations. Those who could still roam free under these circumstances were not matched by lone mercenaries and bounty Hunters.
So, Lis was the first person Ivor and Grace had seen come to claim the bounty of a Gold-level pirate.
The key point was that the amount was no more than ten thousand Gold Coins. Not to mention someone who could kill Patrick, even I...
No, I still care quite a bit about that.
"Mr. Lis, we are honored that you've come to our Danerluo Port, how about you come and sit with us for a while?"
Ivor said with a smile, his attitude much more amenable than before.
"Of course, I also have some matters I would like to discuss with both of you,"
Ivor and Grace both tensed up.
As expected, collecting the bounty was just incidental; this man had other motives.
