The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 88: Pirate Country

Pirates.

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

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

But only in the United Kingdom it is different.

The United Kingdom is an archipelago country composed of Denisoa and many islands.

Although the United Kingdom serves as a unified government, the native Denisoja serves as the center of power. However, although the surrounding islands are nominally Denisoya's territory, they are not actually subject to Denisoya's management.

On each island are the former governors of Denisoa.

The Governor is first responsible to the "Denisoya Privy Council" and secondly to King Denisoya. Although King Denisoya himself has the power to remove advisors, he cannot easily use this power if he does not want to quarrel.

The Privy Council is divided into three floors.

The bottom layer is made up 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, who are in the local area "Members Association" formed.

The members can put forward some suggestions for optimizing the bill based on their own life experience during the twice-yearly meetings.

But not all of these recommendations will actually be implemented... they will be uploaded up to the "committee".

The members of the committee are composed of the bishops of Yaweng, Silver-level extraordinary people, the most outstanding elites in various industries, and the new generation of nobles. Most of them have experience in politics in various places and can understand which opinions are feasible and which opinions are impossible to implement due to various reasons.

After their internal meetings, they will sort out and optimize the opinions submitted by the members and put forward their own opinions. Eventually there will be a thick stack of documents that goes up to the "advisory meeting."

Denisoya's advisors are actually the cardinals of Yaon, gold-level extraordinary beings, the most senior officials who manage various departments of the kingdom, plus the great nobles at the beginning of the founding of the country, and the "governors" of various regions. "——Or the continuation of the bloodline of those small countries. Even the king himself.

In other words, not only the most senior officials in various departments can become consultants. Instead, managers in the fields of diplomacy, finance, national defense, culture and education, and justices are selected only from the advisory board.

Even among the great nobles at the beginning of the founding of the country... no matter how big or small their family is now, only [one person] can enter the advisory council. That is, the "spokesperson" of the family.

Even if the other family members have achieved success, they can only join the "committee" at most.

For example, if someone in a certain family becomes the Pope of Yaweng, or becomes a gold-level transcendent and enters the advisory council, then their family no longer has a quota for the advisory council.

——Each surname can only have one vote, this is Danny Sawyer's iron law.

Even the "royal family" is no exception.

From the 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 enough to suppress other great nobles... Rather than being usurped or sidelined later, it is better to take a step back from the beginning.

He has no regard for the power that he has no chance to touch in the first place - it is not his thing anyway, and he will not regret it if he gives it away in time.

Give up the highest position so that everyone is on an equal footing.

At this time, anyone who wants to go further will be held tightly by other "consultants".

This is the wisdom of retreating into advancement.

Nowadays, the power of the governors has expanded to an almost unchecked level - the military and economy of each island in the Field Islands are independent and under the jurisdiction of the governor alone.

It is customary in the United Kingdom to call the Governor-General "Little King".

However, Xiao Wang 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 emerged from it.

——That’s “Pirates”.

The militia groups of each island are not allowed to be dispatched near other islands, let alone Denisoa. So this formed a custom similar to that of the underground city - if you rob goods from around this island, you only need to run around the United Kingdom, and you will not be held accountable again.

From this situation, a new situation emerged.

That is...

——Since the Field Islands don’t want to pay taxes to Denisaw, I’ll just grab it myself.

Yes.

Denisoya directly funded a group of pirates and asked them to rob the goods transported between his islands. And those islands also know this very well.

Because the Field Islands are not monolithic.

They were originally the "Exile Alliance" composed of defeated countries during the **** war.

What was their first reaction after being robbed by pirates sent by Danny Sawyer?

Of course it is impossible to rob them back... The fact that they will be robbed shows that they are in a disadvantaged position, and it is even less possible for the Governor to compete with other advisors on his own.

So they themselves began to hire pirates to rob goods from other islands.

It's not just governors who are doing this.

Even wealthy businessmen have pirates they sponsor.

Some merchants had just sold their goods... before the goods could reach the shore, the pirates sent by the merchants changed hands and snatched them back.

And now, they already have pirates.

When these pirates are "out of work", you can't really let them out and let them rob them at will, right?

And their combat effectiveness is also quite rare.

Then they will naturally 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 usually don’t see the governor, let alone the king.

But they can often see pirates appearing on the beach, in markets and in taverns. These pirates have a very strong sense of presence...

And the pirates under the governor, the pirates sponsored by the merchants, Denisoya's big pirates... there are also the teams of explorers who go out to sea to pursue their dreams, and the robbery gangs composed of wanted criminals.

The only two talents they need are the ability to go to sea and the ability to kill.

These stories of pirates are sung by bards; good sailors on merchant ships and fishing boats may become pirates at any time, and pirates who offend others may also hide somewhere anonymously.

——This is the real deal, a pirate country.

"The environment here at Danny Sawyer surprised me a little."

Wearing a white robe that only exposed his left arm, the white-haired boy held a scepter like two snakes intertwined in his right hand. He walked on the noisy street while talking: "I thought Danny Sawyer It will be much more prosperous than the Field Islands.

"...I didn't expect that this port didn't even have roads built. Moreover, this smell..."

Annan frowned.

He looked suspicious of life.

As soon as he came out of the subway, Annan was almost fainted by the strong fishy smell.

There was obviously no seafood market selling fish around, but there was a smell of blood and fish mixed in the air.

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

Annan even had some doubts as to whether their nearly floor-length robes would catch the dirt on the ground and leave an unpleasant fishy smell...

"...Where does this smell come from? Isn't this the most prosperous port in Denisoa?"

Because Annan ~IndoMTL.com~ has an obvious winter accent when he speaks.

This made the passing Denisoyan look back in surprise.

But they were not curious about it, and they didn't care what he said. The relationship between the Denisoyans is distant and indifferent - they may frown and mutter Annan's discourtesy in their hearts, but they will not actually say it or even remember it.

But in the dead of winter, two people who don't know each other might suddenly start a fight on the street over a word or a look, and even fight until their heads are bloody.

"This is what you don't understand, Your Majesty."

Issac, on the other hand, took a deep breath of contentment - I don’t know if Hugo gave his puppet a smell function, but now it seems that it probably does.

He has a very distinct Denisawian accent when he speaks, which is different from the pronunciation he had in Black Tower.

"What?"

"You should be able to smell the stink."

Issac said with a smile: "If the port can't smell the stink, it will be fatal.

"The smell of fish, the rotten smell of corpses, the dust on the goods..."

He said, narrowing his eyes slightly.

He glanced back and looked at the street corner: "There is also the unavoidable smell of copper.

"I am very familiar with all this...it is no different from a hundred years ago."
