Chapter 354: Heart of the Ocean
After the meaning of the Shadow Kingdom was known to various coastal countries, the rulers of those countries were angry at first. In the past, each coastal country dispatched regular navies to eliminate pirates and open up safe routes; or dispatched fleets to protect their own country's cargo fleets. Defend against pirate attacks.
Now, you actually have to pay protection fees to pirates? This is too shameless! The first reaction of almost all the rulers of coastal countries is to reject what they consider to be a ridiculous request from the Shadow Kingdom.
But when the news spread, they realized that they couldn't help themselves. Those large multinational chambers of commerce have reached an agreement with the Kingdom of Shadows and have begun paying sea crossing fees monthly according to their respective needs. Merchants pursue profits. After weighing what they pay and what they receive, these merchants who can make a lot of money in cross-border trade will react the fastest.
After paying, the fleets of these chambers of commerce can sail within the "territory" of the Shadow Kingdom. Other small and medium-sized chambers of commerce that belonged to a certain country or whose main resources were in a certain coastal country became anxious when they saw it.
Originally, small and medium-sized chambers of commerce were much weaker than those large chambers of commerce. Now if large chambers of commerce are allowed to seize the opportunity to conduct maritime trade, will they still have a way to survive? In desperation, the chambers of commerce in almost all countries began to jointly request their kings and grand dukes to agree to the conditions of the Shadow Kingdom.
There was no way. Under heavy pressure, several principalities that were mainly engaged in trade first agreed to the conditions of the Shadow Kingdom and began to purchase the right to sail in the sea. Of course, this part of the sea crossing fee is allocated to various chambers of commerce in the country.
If there is one, then there are two. With these principalities taking the lead, other countries have gradually agreed to the Shadow Kingdom's sea toll system. According to the conditions proposed by the Shadow Kingdom itself, most of these expenses are covered by magic crystals and magic cores.
For Yu Fei, the Shadow Kingdom will not only be a boost for the night elves when they sweep across the continent of Eslaze in the future, but now its more important role is to provide energy and provide cover for the night elves' smuggling caravans. With the cover of the Shadow Kingdom, there is no risk of the night elves' fleet being discovered by human countries.
After this, the Shadow Kingdom is on the right track. With Yorick under his control to manage, Yu Fei felt more at ease. Nothing happened to the Sea Tribe in the two months since the establishment of the Shadow Kingdom under the control of the traveler partner Tang Yijia. Now it is time for Yu Fei to fulfill the agreement.
In fact, in the past two months, the Sea Clan has entered the sea areas governed by the Shadow Kingdom. It's just that according to the agreement between the two parties, they will not attack ships or show up on the sea again.
After everything in the Shadow Kingdom is settled, there is no need for the identity of Gangplank played by Yu Fei's Elf King clone. Of course, those night elves who originally belonged to the Anchor Pirates and now serve in the Shadow Kingdom Navy still remain to ensure Yorick's status.
Yu Fei's Elf King clone came directly to the bottom of the sea, preparing to discuss the next move with Tang Yijia.
In the previous exchanges, Yu Fei had either done so through the shark warriors he controlled, or through the spiritual seeds sealed in the Tide Temple. This was the first time he used his "true identity" to meet Tang Yijia.
The meeting between the two was extremely pleasant. The skin of Yu Fei's Elf King clone was so beautiful that Tang Yijia's eyes lit up as soon as he saw it. Looking at the look in the Loli Queen's eyes that seemed to show spiritual sustenance, Yu Fei couldn't help but feel proud in his heart.
The body that the Elder Altar gave me was a bit girly in my aesthetic sense, but it was still quite powerful in attracting women. I thought that I might be able to easily win over the little lolita Tang Yijia. Fei, facing Tang Yijia who was staring at him with excitement, showed a charming smile, like a hundred flowers blooming.
However, in less than three seconds, the smile solidified.
Tang Yijia was heard excitedly asking Yu Fei: "Who is that? Are you a tsundere?!"
by? ! Tsundere? ! Suffer from peat! You are the one who is suffering, and your whole family is suffering! The corners of Yu Fei's mouth suddenly twitched, his smile instantly deformed, and he only felt a few black lines hanging from his forehead. You have the temperament of a king, okay? The arrogant peat girl!
How could I forget that the great master in front of me is a rotten girl who has been hanging around in Hongxiu and Jinjiang since junior high school? Sure enough, the first reaction when he saw the handsome man was whether this guy was gay. Yufei was choked by Tang Yijia's question for a moment, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
When Tang Yijia looked at Yu Fei's reaction, she thought he was angry with her question, so she muttered in a low voice.
"What? You're so angry now. It seems like you're not just a tsundere, but also a tsundere."
Yu Fei's eyes darkened. Hello! You spoke your mind! This should be a psychological activity! This kind of "whispering" at a close distance was clearly heard by Yu Fei, which made him feel even more sad and angry.
"Me! No! Yes! Suffer!" Squeezing out these words from his teeth one by one, Yu Fei quickly closed his eyes and muttered silently in his heart, "If your heart is as clear as ice, you will not be surprised when the sky falls; everything will change." Still calm, the spirit is relaxed and the air is calm."
After a few seconds, Yu Fei finally calmed down. We came here to talk about business this time. We can't get angry with children. Although he thought so in his heart, Yu Fei was still speechless for a while when he looked at Tang Yijia's eyes flashing in front of him.
Ignoring Tang Yijia's disappointed but hopeful look after hearing his answer, Yu Fei began to talk to himself.
"Forget Miss Tang, I'll just call you Tang. Tang, now that my business has come to an end, it's time to fulfill the agreement. But I hope you will pay attention to the fact that the sea people should not attack the fleets with dragon flags on the sea. I have said this before, but I still want to emphasize it again."
"As for the fleets without dragon flags, you can attack them at will, as you like."
The existence of the dragon flag is naturally due to Yu Fei's bad taste. Every fleet that pays the sea crossing fee will be issued a dragon flag with special magic fluctuations-this dragon is naturally not a giant dragon, but a Chinese dragon that looks like a long snake to the Eslazer people.
In addition to the caravans that pay the fee, the Shadow Kingdom's own ships will also hang dragon flags. The dragon flag made by magic is not easy to forge, and the patrolling Shadow Kingdom navy can sense it from a distance through instruments.
Fleets that are lucky enough not to pay the sea crossing fee to the Shadow Kingdom will not only be attacked and looted directly after being discovered by the Shadow Kingdom patrol navy, but will also be threatened by the sea tribe.
After all, the sea is so large that the Shadow Kingdom cannot guarantee that every smuggling fleet can be discovered by the patrol fleet. But with the sea tribe as insurance, it can be said to be foolproof. Under the double screening, the number of fish that slip through the net will surely be very small.
"All the things obtained by the sea tribe from the fleet attacked according to the agreement will belong to you, but I hope you will not attack the fleet with the dragon flag for those supplies." Yu Fei looked at Tang Yijia with a sharp look.
Tang Yijia pouted. "Don't you believe me? I am also a descendant of the dragon, okay? If I say I won't attack a ship with a dragon flag, I won't attack it. But when will you fulfill your promise to guide me to land? It's been two months!"
Yu Fei smiled slightly. "Isn't this the reason for this visit? From tomorrow, the sea tribe can reach the mainland. I have selected this location for you to take the first step."
Taking out a map from the space ring, Yu Fei pointed to a peninsula in the southeast of the mainland. Tang Yijia also came over and checked the map.
The geographical location of this peninsula is not bad, and there are many mudflats, which is suitable for the survival of the amphibious sea tribe and the Naga tribe. Yu Fei also selected this location after many considerations.
But before explaining to Tang Yijia why he chose this place, he still had something to ask.
"Wait a minute, the cooperation has reached this stage, when will you give me the Heart of the Ocean?"
