"This should be the island's Legacy Land, right? Excitement flashed in Passing Monarch's eyes as he gazed at the towering tower hidden in the center of the canyon.
The Shifeng had found the Sea Dragon Secret Land's greatest Legacy so easily.
Previously, their Third Fleet had spent over four hours clearing the trial. Afterward, they had waited for the island's Legacy to arrive. However, they had failed to find the island's Legacy Land in the remaining time. On the contrary, they had lost a few people to traps.
Now, however, the Shifeng had found the Legacy Land in less than three hours. It was a miracle.
Although Passing Monarch was somewhat reluctant to let the Shifeng obtain the greatest Legacy, it was still better than Silent Entropy and the others obtaining the Legacy. Moreover, with the Shifeng's help, they should have no problems obtaining the 50-yard cave's Legacy. At that time, they would be able to stabilize their position as the Freedom Alliance's third fleet.
If he had not cooperated with the Shifeng this time, his Third Fleet would most likely have fallen to the Seventh or Eighth Fleet. He would not even have the qualifications to use the Large Shipyard.
Although the Shifeng was also somewhat excited as he looked at the Tower of Falling Stars, he did not rush over. Instead, he calmly turned to Passing Monarch and asked softly, "Brother Monarch, are you interested in making a deal?"
Passing Monarch had basically obtained the Sea God's Legacy. He had also achieved his initial goal of coming here.
However, the Ling YI Society was currently lacking both money and resources. Candlelight's income had also reached its saturation point. If he wanted to increase his income, he needed to expand Candlelight.
The Freedom Alliance occupied three of the twelve major cities in Sea's End. If he could open a Shop in these three cities, the profits he could make would be unimaginable.
However, it was not as easy to open a Shop in these three major cities as it was on the land. As long as one had enough Reputation and Gold Coins, one could purchase a Shop. In the NPC cities of Sea's End, Reputation was not required. However, one needed the City Manager's permission to open a Shop.
Because of this, business in Sea's End was not flourishing.
If one wanted the city manager's approval, they would need to set up a profit sharing agreement. Since there were no competitors, they could cover the sky with one hand. The kind-hearted city managers would split the profits 30-70, while the black-hearted ones would split the profits 50-50. This was also why players chose to set up Stalls to sell their items. That way, they would not have to split the profits and only needed to pay a small fee.
"Making a deal? May I know what kind of deal Brother Ye Feng wishes to make? "Passing Monarch looked at Shifeng curiously.
"Are you interested in becoming the commander of the First Fleet?" the Shifeng asked with a smile.
"The First Fleet's commander? Brother Ye Feng, you must be joking, right? You've seen Silent Entropy's and Hundred Leaves's foundations for yourself. After obtaining the Legacy this time, it will already be difficult for me to maintain my third place. Becoming the First Fleet's commander is simply impossible," Passing Monarch said, shaking his head.
"That's why I made a deal with you." Shifeng suddenly said seriously, "Brother Wuchang, you have seen my strength. You also know that I have the Ling YI Society behind me. If I help you with all my strength, what do you think the chances of you becoming the commander of the First Fleet are?"
Shifeng's words immediately caused Passing Monarch to fall silent.
If not for the Shifeng's help, the Third Fleet would have been doomed.
"Although I don't know the exact strength of the Ling YI Society, in my opinion, I'd be fortunate to have a 20% chance of success. Silent Entropy is not as simple as you think," Passing Monarch said.
"20%?" Shifeng simply laughed. "Even 20% is not bad. At the very least, the chances are high, right? If I help you become the commander of the First Fleet, I want the management rights of the cities under your command. As for the profits, we'll split them fifty-fifty. What do you think? "
The Freedom Alliance was not like a Guild. Just because one became the commander of the First Fleet, one could not directly control three major cities. However, they could control Heavenly Ocean City, which had the highest player population. As for the remaining two cities, they would be jointly managed by the remaining ten fleet commanders.
This was also why the Sanctuary of the Holy Church had intervened in the Freedom Alliance's affairs.
If one became the commander of the First Fleet, they could control an NP city all by themselves. If they managed the city well, the wealth they could obtain would definitely be unimaginable.
"The management rights of a city?" After giving the matter some thought, Passing Monarch said, "Alright, that won't be a problem. As long as I become the commander of the Freedom Alliance's First Fleet, that'll be fine."
The management rights of a city were not important to an adventurer team like theirs. As long as they could obtain sufficient resources and Coins, they would be satisfied.
"However, competing for the First Fleet's position will be very difficult. Every time we deal with sea monster invasions, we test the fleet's overall strength. Two Small Sailboats and a few high-quality speedboats are not enough." Passing Monarch understood that Shifeng's ships were very powerful. However, they would not be of much help in the competition for the First Fleet's position.
The management rights of a city in Sea's End changed once every month. When the time came, sea monster invasions would occur. The fleet that could defend the most areas would ultimately become the city's manager. The Freedom Alliance also used this method to compete for a seat in the organization.
The reason Silent Entropy had been able to become the commander of the First Fleet time and time again was because of the area he defended.
Although Shifeng appeared very confident, Passing Monarch did not have much confidence in the outcome.
"I understand. I'll also think of ways to improve your overall strength," Shifeng said, chuckling. "Let's sign a contract, then."
He knew a little about the competition for the Freedom Alliance's seat. After all, the Freedom Alliance was one of the overlords of the sea in God's Domain.
Following which, Shifeng signed a contract with Passing Monarch.
The contract's contents were very simple. If he helped Passing Monarch become the commander of the Freedom Alliance's First Fleet, Shifeng would manage all of the cities under his control and split the profits 50-50. During this period, Passing Monarch had to provide his full support.
After signing the contract, Shifeng nodded in satisfaction. He then led Passing Monarch and the others to the distant Tower of Falling Stars.
The Tower of Falling Stars had a total of three floors. According to Sea's End's map, the first floor of the Tower of Falling Stars was a reward for all players who reached this point. As for the second to third floors, it depended on whether the player had the ability to obtain a Legacy. Moreover, the rewards for the second to third floors were unique. If the first player obtained a Legacy, the subsequent players would not receive any rewards or Legacies.
Just as Shifeng's group arrived before the Tower of Falling Stars, Shifeng suddenly stopped them. This confused Passing Monarch and the others. However, a moment later, a familiar voice reached their ears.
"We were discovered so quickly?"
Suddenly, several figures emerged from the forest. The person who had spoken was none other than Hundred Leaves.
Moreover, aside from Hundred Leaves, Silent Entropy was beside her.
"Why are you guys here?" Passing Monarch was astonished when he saw Hundred Leaves and Silent Entropy.
The Magic Whale was not easy to deal with. It was especially true for its final team-wipe move. Even if Hundred Leaves and Silent Entropy's fleets had arrived, it would have taken them a long time to do so. Yet, Hundred Leaves and Silent Entropy had already arrived. No matter how he thought about it, this should be impossible.
As if she had seen through Passing Monarch's thoughts, Hundred Leaves chuckled and said, "There's nothing to be surprised about. Commander Entropy and I simply formed a 200-man team at the last minute. We sacrificed my Small Sailboat and Commander Entropy's two Bronze Speedboats to reach this place as quickly as possible. Although we sacrificed a lot, fortunately, we managed to catch up to you. Otherwise, you really would've obtained the Legacy."
Passing Monarch could not help his shock.
He had never thought that Hundred Leaves would be so ruthless as to abandon even a Small Sailboat.
"Commander Leaves' subordinates sure are amazing. They actually managed to track us down," Shifeng said in admiration as he glanced at a cloaked Assassin beside Hundred Leaves.
He had done his best to hide his tracks. If he wanted to track them, he would need a Master Tracking Spell at the very least.
