[Chapter 88 The Kingdom of Pirates]

pirate.

In most parts of the world, the term exists only in legend.

People have an instinctive fear of the silent and lightless sea.

But only in the United Kingdom is different.

The United Kingdom is an archipelago made up of Denisoya and a number of archipelagos.

Although the United Kingdom is a unified government, the native Denisoya is the center of power.

However, the surrounding islands, although nominally the territory of Denisoya, actually did not obey Denisoya’s management very much.

On top of each island, is Denisoya’s past governor.

The Governor is responsible first to the “Denisoya Privy Council” and second to King Denisoya.

Although King Denisoya himself has the power to dismiss advisors, he cannot easily use this power if he does not want to tear his face.

The Privy Council is divided into three layers.

The bottom layer is composed of veterans who have made meritorious deeds, wealthy businessmen from various places, famous elders in the village, craftsmen with ancient techniques passed down from generation to generation… that is, the “indispensable” masses, formed locally. members”.

The members can make some suggestions for the improvement of the bill based on their own life experience in the meeting twice a year.

But not all of these recommendations will actually be implemented…they will be uploaded to the “committee”.

The members of the committee are the bishops of Javon, the extraordinary people of the silver level, the most outstanding elites in various industries, and the nobles of the new generation.

Most of them have experience in politics in various places and can understand which ideas are feasible and which ones cannot be implemented for various reasons.

After their internal meetings, the comments submitted by the members will be sorted and refined, and their own comments will be presented.

Eventually there will be a thick stack of documents going up to the “advisory meeting”.

And Denisoya’s advisors are actually the cardinals of Javon, the extraordinary people of the golden order, the most senior officials who manage various departments of the kingdom, plus the great nobles at the beginning of the country, and the “governors” of various regions—— Or the continuation of the blood of those small countries.

There’s even the king himself.

In other words, it is not the most senior officials of various departments who can become consultants.

Instead, managers in the fields of foreign affairs, finance, national defense, culture and education, and justices are selected only in the advisory council.

Even the great nobles at the beginning of the founding of the country… no matter how big or small their family is today, there is only one person who can enter the advisory council.

That is, the “spokesperson” of the family.

Even if the rest of the family members have achieved success, they can only enter the “committee” at most.

For example, if someone in a certain family becomes the Pope of Javon, or becomes a superhuman of the golden rank and enters the advisory council, then their family will no longer have a seat on the advisory council.

——Each surname can only have one vote, which is Denisoya’s iron law.

Even the “royal” is no exception.

From the very beginning of the founding of the country, Grand Duke Denisoya, who was still a duke at the time, made a choice.

Since their power is not strong enough to suppress the other great nobles… It is better to take a step back from the very beginning, rather than being usurped or overthrown later.

He didn’t have any remembrance of the power that he didn’t have the chance to touch in the first place – it wasn’t his thing anyway, and he wouldn’t regret it if he let it out in time.

Give up the highest position,

everyone is on the same line.

So at this time, anyone who wants to go further will have to be held back by the other “consultants”.

This is the wisdom of retreating into advance.

Today, the powers of the governors have swelled to a level that is almost unchecked – on each island of the Fields, the military and the economy are independent and under the jurisdiction of the governor alone.

It is customary in the United Kingdom to refer to the Governor General as the “Little King”.

However, the little king is actually bigger than the “big king”.

Although the king retains the power to “remove advisors”, he has not used this power for nearly 30 years.

And because of the military and economic independence of each island.

Another business was born out of it.

– That’s “Pirates”.

The militias of each island are not allowed to be dispatched to the vicinity of other islands, let alone to the vicinity of Denisoya.

So this has formed a custom similar to the underground city – that is, grabbing goods from the vicinity of this island, as long as you run around the United Kingdom, you will not be held accountable again.

And from this situation, a new situation has arisen.

That is…

——Since the Field Islands don’t want to pay taxes to Denisoa, I will rob it myself.

yes.

Denisoya directly funded a group of pirates to loot the shipments between their archipelagos.

And those islands are well aware of this.

Because the Feld Islands are not monolithic.

They were originally the “League of Exiles” formed by the defeated countries during the bloody war.

After being robbed by the pirates sent by Denisoya, what was their first reaction?

Of course it can’t be robbed back…they will be robbed, which itself shows that they are in a disadvantageous position, and the governor is even less likely to compete with other advisors by himself.

So, they themselves began to hire pirates to loot the goods of other islands.

It’s not just governors doing these things.

Even the wealthy businessmen have their own sponsored pirates.

Some merchants just sold the goods…before the goods landed, the pirates sent by the merchants changed hands and robbed them back.

And since, they have already raised pirates.

Usually, when these pirates are “not alive”, they can’t really let them out and let them grab them casually, right?

And their combat power is also quite rare.

Then, naturally, they will send these pirates out to eradicate dissidents.

This can also be regarded as a kind of waste utilization.

The result is… in a sense, this country is equivalent to being ruled by pirates.

People don’t see the governor, let alone the king.

But they can often see pirates in the seaside, in the market and in the tavern.

The presence of these pirates is very strong…

and the pirates under the Governor’s hands, the pirates sponsored by the merchants, the great pirates of Denisoya… and the explorer teams who go out to sea to find their dreams, and the wanted criminals robbery gang formed by them.

The only talents they need are being able to go to sea and being able to kill.

The stories of these pirates are sung by bards; good sailors of merchant ships and fishing boats may become pirates at any time, and pirates who have offended others may also hide in incognito somewhere.

—This is the real deal, the land of pirates.

“The environment on Denisoa’s side surprised me.”

The white-haired boy, wearing a white robe with only his left arm exposed, and holding a scepter like a pair of snakes in his right hand, said while walking in the On the bustling street: “I thought Denisoya would be much more prosperous than the Field Islands.

“…Unexpectedly, this port has not even been repaired.

Besides, this smell…”

Annan frowned.

He had a suspicious expression on his face.

As soon as he came out of the subway entrance, Annan was about to faint by the strong fishy smell.

There was obviously no seafood market around .

, the air is mixed with a smell of blood and fish. There are

people coming and going in this port, and there are many people in robes dressed as merchants and wizards.

Annan even has some doubts that their robes that are almost mopping the floor will not There will be dirty things on the ground here, leaving an unpleasant fishy smell…

“…Where does this smell come from? Isn’t this the most prosperous port in Denisoya?”

Because when Annan was speaking, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com had a distinct winter accent.

This made the passing Denisoya look back in surprise.

But they weren’t curious about it, and they didn’t care what he said.

The relationship between the Denisoans was distant and indifferent—they might frown in their hearts and mumble about Annan’s faux pas, but they wouldn’t really say it or even remember it.

But if it is in the winter, two people who don’t know each other at all may suddenly fight on the street because of a word or a look, or even bleed to the head.

“This is what you don’t understand, Your Majesty.”

It was Isaac, who took a deep breath in satisfaction – I don’t know if Hugo gave his puppet an olfactory function, but now he mostly sees it. There is.

He speaks with a very distinct Denisoya accent, not the same one he pronounced in the Black Tower of Zedy.

“What?”

“I can smell the stench.”

Isaac said with a smile: “If the port can’t smell the stench, it will be fatal.

“The stench of fish, the stench of corpses, the stench of the cargo. Accumulation of dust…”

He said, narrowing his eyes slightly.

His eyes glanced back to the street corner: “There is also the inevitable smell of copper.

“I’m all too familiar with all of this…and it’s no different from more than a hundred years ago.”
