In the palace of Arabastan, Kobra, who had just ascended the throne, was panicking. He paced around the courtyard anxiously, muttering non-stop,"What should we do? What should he do? Such a great pirate actually came to Alabastan. What should he do?”
"What a headache, what a headache. Such a great pirate will definitely bring disaster to Alabastan.”Nafilutali Kobra paced back and forth, looking worried.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the Shadow Pirates are here purely to replenish their supplies and to admire the beautiful desert scenery of our Arabastan.”Ikalem, who was dizzy from being surrounded by Cobra, comforted him.
"Right? Even you think that they are here for the beautiful Arabastan. Perhaps they are already secretly plotting how to attack the kingdom.”Facing the king who had fallen into paranoia, Ikarim expressed that he couldn't answer.
"No, I am the king of this country. Even if it is for the sake of all the citizens, I have to pull myself together. If even I am afraid, this country will be completely hopeless.”There seemed to be a flash of holy light behind Corbra.
"Hey, hey, hey, there's no such thing. You're just imagining things.”Ikalem was speechless.
"Can we get the navy to send someone over?" Cobra suddenly asked.
"No way, Your Majesty. They defeated the admiral of the navy. Ordinary navy troops won't do.”Ikalem said in shock.
"Yes! You're right! If you can't let the navy come, then do you have any good way to find out the other party's purpose of coming?”Cobra asked.
"Why don't we set up a banquet in the palace and invite the members of the Shadow Pirates to the palace as guests? Firstly, we can show our sincerity. Secondly, we can inquire about their intentions at the banquet! What do you think?" said Ikalim.
"Not bad, let's do it this way! Invite them personally! You must be respectful!" Cobra agreed.
Hades and the others, who were about to visit the city and head to the palace, followed Ikarim to the palace when they heard that there was a banquet.
"Sir, please follow me. His Majesty is in the palace.”Ikalem said as he led the way.
"Lead the way." Hades did not stand on ceremony either. He did not take the royal family seriously, and only followed Ikarim into the palace with due etiquette.
"Hello, Mr. Hades. It's a pleasure to meet you. Life at sea must be tough, right?”That was the first thing Hades heard when he saw Cobra.
After hearing this, Hades could not help but sigh. The king was indeed a king. Even pirates could turn plundering into an adventure. This was the art of speech.
"Hello, Your Majesty." Since he had shown goodwill, Hades should also give him the corresponding respect.
Hearing Hades 'words, Cobra heaved a sigh of relief. At least the character of this expert in front of him was not that bad. Moreover, he could feel the aristocratic aura on Hades. There was no barrier between the king and the duke when they talked.
Thus, under the deliberate construction of the two, the conversation between the two had a good start.
"I wonder why Sir Hades has come to Alabastan.”Cobra said with a smile.
"Actually, other than resupplying supplies, I also came to Arabastan to make a deal with the king of Kobra.”Hades said.
"Oh? Trade? I'd like to hear about it.”According to Hades 'words, this deal should be very beneficial to Arabastan.
As a king, he naturally had to think for the country. If it was beneficial to the country, he would not reject working with pirates.
"I have a batch of seawater desalination machines with a very high purification rate in my hands. I want to sell them to your country!”Hades said indifferently.
" What?!" Corbra suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
Desalination machine! All these years, Arabastan had been doing research in this area, but he had not achieved any results. He naturally understood the difficulties involved. It was not only a technical problem, but also a cost problem.
Hades smiled and repeated,"I have a batch of seawater desalination machines with a very high purification rate!”
Naturally, he had to have something real in his hands. Otherwise, if he came here and said that he wanted to trade, he would be a joke. He had such a card in his hand, a card that Kobra could not refuse.
"Really?" Cobra had been troubled by the drought in the country recently, and the situation in the country had been turbulent because of it.
At this critical moment, Hades took out such a batch of seawater desalination machines, which he really could not refuse.
Hades smiled." Of course I won't lie to you. I have an excellent scientific team under me. As long as you agree to cooperate, the machines will be here in a few days.”
After thinking about it carefully, it was not a big deal to just let a pirate establish a stronghold in Alabastan. Alabastan was highly autonomous, and even if the world government and navy knew about it, they could not do anything to him.
Moreover, Kobra had been king for so long that he could naturally see that Hades did not put Alabastan in his eyes at all. A person like him was going to conquer the great sea route, and it was impossible for him to only care about Alabastan.
Therefore, he nodded in his heart. This deal could be done.
After a long time of wrangling, Hades used a batch of high-efficiency seawater desalination machines in exchange for a large sum of wealth and Cobra's acquiescence to the activities of the Shadow Pirates in Alabastan.
Perhaps some people would ask, Hades 'Shadow Pirates were an illegal organization to begin with. Why would they make such a meaningless deal when they were secretly operating in a country that was a member of the World Government?
As for why he had to come to Alabastan, couldn't he go somewhere else? Hades had his considerations. If it was a small country, Hades would not be so concerned, but Arabastan was completely different.
As the descendants of the 20 kings, the secrets of the Nafrutari family's bloodline, coupled with the messy things like Hades and historical texts in the country, made Hades pay more attention to him.
It just so happened that in the first half of the great sea route, they needed a country that was large enough, had good economic development, abundant resources, and convenient transportation with the least supervision as their base.
The desolate desert in Arabastan was blessed by nature, and it was the best place to build the first half of the stronghold.
" Then we'll make this deal."
The two of them smiled and shook hands. Hades also explained his problem in the Great Sea Route Stronghold. On the other side, Cobra also used Hades 'freshwater purification machine to alleviate the water shortage problem in the country.
This result made both of them very satisfied.
"Men, prepare a banquet to celebrate the deal between me and Mr. Hades!”
Cobra was very happy. The water problem in the country had finally been solved. If they did not celebrate now, when would they wait?
After the banquet in the palace ended, the clone soldiers reported that the supplies had been replenished, so Hades left after saying goodbye.
Cobra tried to persuade him to stay a few times, but Hades was in a hurry to head to the new world, so he did not stay in Alabastan for long. Instead, he boarded the ship overnight.
After leaving Alabastan, the Nyx headed towards Tevon Island. The navy had already set up an encirclement on Tevon Island, and the collision between the two sides was imminent!
