In a dark and silent secret room.
As Gounières released more than a dozen puppet strings, the entire room was completely isolated from the outside world.
Yassen and Gounières sat opposite each other on a small sofa.
"How's the news about the demonic sea ships?" Gounières asked first.
"There are two good ways to obtain information about the demonic sea ships."
"I'll talk about the first one first."
Yassen pondered for a moment and slowly explained.
"First is the largest black market in Harutev Harbor. It's said that a black market resource exchange auction will be held there in half a month."
"If nothing goes wrong, there will be three demonic sea ships for auction at that time."
"Among them, there's a demonic sea ship about 36 meters long, which meets our requirements. The only bad thing is that, as you know, during the auction, the price of the demonic sea ship will be higher after each round of bidding."
"It was originally 130,000, but the price of 140,000 may rise to 160,000, or even 170,000 or 180,000."
After participating in the auction, Gounières knew very well that the price of these demonic sea ships would rise dramatically under some strong competition.
"What about the second news about the demonic sea ships?"
After pondering for a while, Gounières asked again.
"Young Pirate King, Feathered Serpent Edward."
Yassen said softly.
"A member of the Pirate King Edward family?" Gounières narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Yes."
On the vast ocean.
The most powerful pirate kings were undoubtedly the five infamous "Great Pirate Lords."
Compared to the other young pirate kings, each of these Great Pirate Lords had more than a dozen large demonic sea ships of more than 50 meters long. They had strong soldiers and many high-level transcendent experts under their command.
If the other young pirate kings encountered a steel steam ship, they would definitely take a detour.
If these Great Pirate Lords didn't encounter a steel steam ship of more than 100 meters, they would quietly sneak into the water.
They would dive into the water and quietly approach these steamships. Then, they would quickly dive out and encircle and annihilate this giant steel ship.
It was said that many medium-sized steam-powered steel ships had sunk to the bottom of the sea in the hands of these Great Pirate Lords.
The number of official sailors who died in their hands was uncountable.
Most importantly, these Pirate Kings were more or less related to the Evil God Church.
The Pirate King had participated in the blood sacrifice at Barker Harbor.
Among the five pirate kings.
The Edward family might not be the strongest, but they definitely had the longest history.
It was said that their pirate family had been passed down for more than five hundred years. Their family's blood flowed with the blessing of a powerful deep-sea beast.
The Edward Pirate Family had a lot of strongholds at sea and occupied the most resource islands. Their wealth was extremely shocking.
Now, the Pirate King Edward family had the Pirate King, Duke Edward IV.
As well as his two sons and one daughter, three little pirate kings.
"Plumed Serpent Edward" was the youngest son of the great pirate king, Duke Edward IV. It was said that he had a lot of powerful Transcendent experts around him.
Yassen continued.
"Plumed Serpent Edward has released the news. He wants to sell a demonic sea ship about forty meters long for a price of one hundred and sixty thousand gold pounds. Furthermore, it's rather urgent. It seems that there's only a window of a few days."
"One hundred and sixty thousand gold pounds for forty meters. This price is quite worth it." Gounières thought for a moment and nodded gently.
"The price is indeed very worth it, but they're pirates. The reliability of this deal will be greatly reduced," Yassen said.
"Are they in a hurry to get the gold pounds?" Gounières asked again.
"Yes, they do need resources."
Yassen nodded.
"Duke Edward IV and another pirate king, Ka Mo, have been in a state of war for the past few years."
"War is a very expensive thing."
"Equipment, materials, artillery ammunition, large amounts of potions. After a good demonic sea ship is damaged, a large number of demonic sea ship decks are needed to repair it. There's also the battle rewards for the combatants, and so on."
"You have to know that pirates are a group of people who live on the edge of their blades and work for money. If you want them to work for you, you have to give them enough money. If you dare to embezzle their gold pounds, they can stab you with a knife in the blink of an eye. "
"The weaker pirates might not dare to do so, but they will take advantage of the moment when you're not paying attention and quietly sneak away in the deep sea."
"For those extraordinary sailors who can transform, they can easily swim in the sea like fish."
"Therefore, the wars of pirates have always been very expensive. Only in this way can they support these pirates."
"There are often rumors outside that pirate kings are very rich."
"What they get wrong is that it's not that pirate kings are rich, but that if you're not rich, you can't be a pirate king at all."
"Not to mention the great pirate kings, just the small pirate kings have three to five demonic sea ships and one to two hundred subordinates."
"Just supporting this group of people costs tens of thousands of gold pounds a month."
"That does make sense." Gounières nodded slightly.
After pondering for a moment, Gounières said thoughtfully, "We don't have enough gold pounds.
There's no need to take the risk of getting in touch with this Feathered Serpent Edward. "
If Gounières was already Transcendent Rank-4 or even Transcendent Rank-5, Gounières would have the confidence to get in touch with this Feathered Serpent Edward.
If the other party was really willing to sell it, Gounières could get this demonic sea ship at a lower price.
He might even be able to establish a relationship with the other party and follow the clues to find the members of the evil churches or even some of their settlements.
If Gounières, who was only Rank-3, got in touch with him, Gounières might not be at an advantage if there was a conflict.
At this stage, Gounières was still safer. There was no need to put himself in danger for tens of thousands of gold pounds.
"Well … that's true." Yassen nodded slightly. "These pirates are indeed difficult to get along with. If there's a conflict, we'll be the ones at a disadvantage."
After Yassen said that, Gounières pondered for half a minute.
After that, Gounières said hesitantly.
"Can you … track down this Feathered Serpent Edward? Or are you sure he'll show up somewhere? "
"Huh?" Yassen's expression changed, and he looked at Gounières solemnly. "What do you want to do?"
"Just because we don't get in touch with this guy doesn't mean that we've given up on his demonic sea ship. If we know where this guy is, we might be able to use a special method to try. Maybe we'll find something. "
As he spoke, Gounières looked at Yassen. "Can you get it?"
Yassen furrowed his brows. His captain's ambition wasn't ordinary.
"Are you sure you can get away after you attack? His two guards are both top Rank-5 Transcendent, "Yassen asked in a low voice instead of answering.
Gounières shrugged. "I'm sure that the two guards can't even find me."
Gounières' words calmed Yassen down.
After interacting with him for a while, Yassen knew that Captain Jack wouldn't say something like that unless he was absolutely confident.
"I can track down this guy, but I'll need to spend some gold pounds."
"How much?"
"I'm afraid five hundred isn't enough. A thousand is more reliable. After all, it's just a trail, so it shouldn't be a problem."
Gounières took out two stacks of ten-dollar gold pound notes and accumulated two thousand gold pounds.
Gounières was never stingy when it came to spending money.
"Two thousand gold pounds. I want to know where this Feathered Serpent Edward is and where he appears."
"No problem." Yassen Howell nodded solemnly.
