Chapter 498: CXXVII. The Sealed Dark Master
The last night at Kelor Highlands.
Outside the city, tents were densely packed, and campfires flickered with scattered flames. Firewood crackled, and everyone was tearing into meat and chugging down alcohol.
When departing from Heaven Port, only the most agile and formidable pirates were chosen. Regardless of race, whether Beastman or Yisu people, they were all muscle-bound. Any pirate with ambitions had joined.
Just like figuring out how to get a position in Aran, finding a role in Black Sail had become an essential skill.
Those with aspirations inquired about the fates of the pirates who had been absorbed by Black Sail in Londen City.
They found that Black Sail’s promotion system was quite reasonable. There was a tattooed brawny man who used to be a pure bandit living on scraps but now served as a polished mid-level manager. Due to the new city development plans at Heaven Port, even a one-eyed man had become a site supervisor, with many women clinging to him and people constantly bringing gifts.
Those who had served on the Black Sail Ship before were no longer just ragged pirates. As long as they were willing to risk their lives and contribute, this was a rapidly expanding organization without rigid hierarchical barriers. Rolling up their sleeves and giving it their all was all it took.
These pirates, who previously hijacked merchant ships and sold goods cheaply to Doringger, had never seen such a scene before. Taking a gamble, the retired, rancid soldiers from the Qing dynasty turned into alluring elf maidens in the city.
"Tears soaking the pig’s foot rice, swore to earn ten million."
Chuan Che blended in with the pirates, doing the same life-risking tasks, one meal uncertain of the next. Drinking with a group of Beastmen, he could already imagine Liszt taking him back to Duguli. Forget Cloud Palace; they would buy it outright, gather all the women into a troupe, bring Love Cut 48, and deliver them straight to his room.
Even though he was a Hall-level Adventurer, once one indulged in such luxuries, there was no turning back. Having seen the vast ocean, everything else paled in comparison.
