Chapter 510: Chapter 296 Licking with the Tongue _1
The awakened Black Night Raven felt as if a threshold had been smashed, indifferent to everything, she casually asked: “So you’re the Dragon Clan Chief, the God of Knowledge, the Undead God, Goddess of Beauty, God of Farming, and a Dimension Beast?”
As she named each one, she correspondingly made a gesture of invitation.
Luther nodded repeatedly.
Black Night Raven didn’t know how to react, finally, she flustered waved her hand: “Whatever, assuming everything you said is the truth, what now? What will you do with me? Throw me down?”
Luther chuckled: “The whole reason we brought you up is to keep you from getting killed. Now there’s no way we can put you down. So, you’ll have to accompany us to Dragon Island.”
“You won’t kill me?” Black Night Raven asked tentatively.
Luther shook his head: “Why would we kill you? You haven’t offended us.”
“But... But, I accidentally fired at you guys and I don’t have any money to compensate.” Black Night Raven faintly stated.
Luther burst into laughter: “Lord Nage was just playing with you. But seriously, you’re really poor. Your entire fortune is only enough to fire four shots. Yet, you still dare to seek revenge on others? How did you even end up this poor while being a pirate?”
Black Night Raven sheepishly responded: “Uh, we primarily don’t steal things.”
“Don’t steal? Aren’t you a pirate? How do you make money if you don’t steal?” Luther was stunned. A pirate who doesn’t steal?
“We earn passage fees and escort fees. As long as the value of the cargo on the ship is equivalent to one-thirtieth of the passage fee, we won’t rob them. If they can pay up to one-tenth, we will even escort them to their destination.” Black Night Raven explained.
Black Night Raven laughed bitterly: “Do you think we still need to worry about retaliation when our food has been stolen and we can’t buy grains? We don’t even know how many of us will survive until next year.”
The expressions of Luther, Lightning, and Negris turned serious. Could it be that this woman pirate, who looks naive, is carrying such a heavy burden for her future?
How desperate must one be to utter words like ‘We don’t even know how many of us will survive until next year’? Does she not want to be saved? No, she came out to buy grain.
But considering the current situation, buying grain is not an easy task. Look, even Anthony had to come to Ange, and Anthony is the archbishop of the Eastern Diocese, the acting Pope of the Church of Light. Even he can’t buy grain. Apart from robbery, pirates truly have no other options.
“How many people are in your family?” Negris asked.
“More than a thousand.”
“Oh, is that all? Well, we’ll have Ange spare some for you.”
“Spare?”
“Err, I mean sell. We can sell you some. One thousand people, will two hundred tons be enough?”
“Enough, enough. We can’t even finish that much in a year. We can also fish. You guys... can you really sell me two hundred tons of grain?”
“Hey, I said a little bit. Our business starts from a hundred thousand tons.” Negris boasted, patting his waist.
Black Night Raven realized that Negris wasn’t lying, especially after arriving at Vortex Island and seeing the megastructures filling the island, she was even more convinced Negris wasn’t lying to her. There was no need to.
Someone who makes friends with giant dragons would never stoop to cheat her for two hundred tons of grain.
After finding a clean cave and setting her down, Brooks quickly shrank and rapidly transformed into a human. He didn’t seem too pleased to tell Black Night Raven: “We really shouldn’t have brought you here. I hope you can keep this a secret and not spill the beans.”
