V4.Chapter 39

The monsoon from the southwest sea brings a new round of heavy rain.

Many fishing boats fishing in the offshore area have returned to the port of Modo, and the marine products of each boat are brought up by sailors, and many of them will be made into salted fish and transported to other places for sale. The profit of selling salted fish is not on the fish. More often, salted fish is sold directly as a substitute for sea salt, because the weight of these salted fish stuffed with salt is actually quite powerful.

A dark cloud appeared in the distance.

It can be predicted that a heavy rain is about to hit, many merchants are busy packing their things, and the fleet is also docked at the port to wind up their sails. Sailors and drudges shouted to speed up the movement of the cargo, because as they became familiar with the weather overseas, they also knew that the rainstorm would come sooner than expected. The shop moved in the goods from the outside, but the tavern next door was still lively. Many pirates were still living a life of drunkenness. The Temple of Fortune built a luxurious tavern directly in the Port of Modo.

Inside offers expensive wines, and beautiful ** from the South Coast.

There are also some civilians in Modo Port. Most of them are craftsmen with craftsmanship. After they are free, they live here. Sauron does not restrict them too much. They can come and go freely and live the life they want. But there are very few people who are really willing to leave at this time, because I heard that there are outbreaks of wars in many places on the south coast, and the news of Modo Port is circulating very quickly. The fight here is the fight there, and it would be too long to run out at such a time.

A cargo ship slowly docked at the port.

About fifty years old, the dock clerk wearing a top hat walked over quickly, followed by a teenage boy.

"Foreign ships. Medium-sized cargo ships. The cost of docking is five silver derlers a day."

The clerk nodded with a smile, then stretched out his palm, and soon the captain threw a small purse over it. He shook the purse and listened to the crisp sound inside, then smiled and quickly recorded: "Ten silver coins. Dele, stop for two days."

The little boy in the back stared at him. He is just a small sidekick, occasionally helping adults to run errands and get some things.

There can be five copper dels in a day, and if you are lucky, someone will reward you with something.

soon.

The clerk left here, and it was about to rain.

He is more or less a decent official in the Port of Modo, responsible for collecting fees for the docking of merchant ships.

Sailors on the cargo ship began to carry things.

At this moment, two figures in black cloaks appeared on the deck, they nodded towards the captain and jumped down lightly.

"Is this Modo City?"

A slightly immature male voice sounded. He could vaguely see the silver-white armor under the black cloak shining brightly. He looked around carefully and muttered, "It's not what I imagined! I thought this would be another city of wealth!"

The vicissitudes of the eyes are watching here.

An older man glanced around and said slowly: "It's really not what we imagined. Pirate King Sauron is said to be a demon who kills without blinking an eye, a fearful son of mad destruction, a cruel dictator, a cunning man. Insidious little man!  …”

"But this way."

"Whether it is Shipwreck Bay, Tayro Harbor, Nusha Island. Or Modo City today. Some of what we have seen are very orderly. I thought the rule of pirates would be brutal and chaotic, but I never thought of it. It's the strict order and strict laws that I've seen along the way, and the people who seem to be under his rule. Both the commoners and the merchants are better off than anywhere else!"

They have seen pirates who violated the law and disorder on Nusha Island. They were hung up and pumped by the law enforcement team ten times, and the whole back was bloody.

Along the way they saw the prosperity of the South Coast.

While the rest of the world was in constant war and starvation, the entire south coast maintained normal order. People have not been affected by the arrival of the unrest for the time being, and the civilians in these places are living well.

in a dark corner.

There were vague figures watching the two men who got off the cargo ship, and one of them said slowly: "Who is it? Do you need to report it? Recently, a lot of people of all kinds have come to Modo Port!"

The figure of the rogue is inconspicuous in the corner.

The leading man looked at it carefully for a while. Then he shook his head and said, "Just two paladins."

"There's no need to pay too much attention to them, they'll go away by themselves after a while."

Paladins would not be a threat.

Because everything about Modo City gives people a sense of confidence that they won't be enemies of the paladins.

The figures of two paladins are observing everything here.

The legend of Sauron has spread all over the continent, and there are all kinds of rumors about him everywhere. As a force to protect the justice and goodness of the world, the paladins have also noticed this legendary evil pirate king who has risen rapidly.

Sauron the Great Demon King!

There are actually many rumors about him, but it seems that the rumors are not the same as what they see in front of them.

Because before coming to the city of Modo, the Sauron they imagined should be an evil great devil. Countless people died under his hands. He used cruel rule and violence to control the south coast, forcing everyone else to surrender. at his feet. Before they came to the south coast, they heard a lot of rumors about him along the way. In addition to the powerful strength Sauron possessed, it was more about his extravagance, savagery, brutality, debauchery, insidiousness, and so on.

As it seemed, they became furious!

As the paladins who guard justice, they can't wait to kill this great Sauron.

But.

As they got closer to the coast, the rumors they heard were different.

The evil King Sauron seems to have become a heroic figure, unifying the pirates from all over the world with an iron fist, and then taking this opportunity to rise rapidly, and finally became the most powerful pirate king in history! It seems that people still say that he is ruthless and an extremely ruthless character, but it seems that he is no longer described as a devil.

Go all the way forward.

When they came near the prosperous Port of Taro, their concept was subverted again. The evil King Sauron became an idol worshipped and recited by the common people here, thinking that he brought the wealth and status of Port of Taro. Whether it is the route of Arendelle or the route of the Eastern Sea, the Port of Tayro is now on the verge of having the strength comparable to the city of wealth. In the eyes of many commoners, the extremely evil Sauron is a wise ruler, a powerful king-like figure.

Although, he still has evaluations such as ruthless means, ruthless methods, etc., but all other statements seem to have disappeared.

As long as it is mentioned the Great Demon King Sauron, even the lowest level of civilians know that this Excellency attaches great importance to promises! His reputation among the lower-level civilians seems to have been reversed. Although people fear him, they also support him very much.

Everything seems like a drama!

finally.

The two paladins definitely came to see the legendary city of Modo, the city of wonders that rose up in the overseas archipelago, gathered a lot of wealth in a very short period of time, and influenced the trade structure of the entire south coast.

Modo, Modo.

This place, which was described in other rumors as the city of fear in the city of Mordor, completely subverted the concept of the two paladins, and really felt silent.

Son of Slaughter?

Fear the Son of God?

Bloody ruthless dictator?

Evil depraved prostitutes?

In this place called Modo, what they see is that the common people live and work in peace and prosperity, trade is prosperous, what they see is strict and orderly laws, what they see is an unprecedented civilized city, and there is no other city here. Dirty and messy, and there are no poor refugees living on the streets. Even the hard laborers living at the lowest levels were fully clothed and had a healthy blush on their faces, indicating that they had been free from hunger for a long time.

You can hear the frolic of children, the sound of merchants bargaining in front, and the solemn-looking security team patrolling in the distance.

it's here.

They actually saw something more prosperous, more vibrant, and more hopeful than the territory under the control of the Church of Radiance, and all this was not brought about by justice and kindness, but by a great demon named Sauron.

How ironic!
