When the captains heard that the Crucible and the Green Skull were going to set rules, they were silent. They could only hope that the rules of Red Beard Island would not be too strict.
Rudolph continued:
"Red Beard Island has a special geographical location. It is located at the eastern outlet of the Saragu Sea and at the junction of the Saragu Sea and the Winter Ocean.
There are only two ports nearby for ships to rest before entering another sea area. One is the port of the Trapped Church and the other is Red Beard Island. It was our mistake before. After taking over Red Beard Island, we did not explain our attitude in time, which caused some misunderstandings between the port and the captains.
My port manager Salmon told me in detail about what he encountered when managing the port these days."
After a pause, Rudolph suddenly called out: "Captain Toynbee, I heard that you are unwilling to use the port's transfer vehicle?"
"Dear Mr. Crucible! I absolutely..."
"Stand up and speak."
"Okay, okay!" Toynbee stood up. Damn it, how could he sit down? He must have been scared:
"Dear Mr. Furnace, I have absolutely no intention of disrespecting Redbeard Island. There are many slaves on my ship, I just want to let the slaves move around. You know, slaves huddled in the cabins are prone to plague. I apologize to Chief Salmon. It's my fault for not considering the unified arrangement of the port."
Rudolph frowned and stared at the captain.
Toynbee was sweating profusely, not knowing how the Furnace would punish him. He might not die. The owner of the port could not kill the ship owner, otherwise no ship would come here again.
Finally, Rudolf gave up on changing the slave trade. He didn't like it, but he was powerless. He said slowly:
"Everyone's power is so weak. You and I can't change many things...
Captain Toynbee, every port requires ships to use the port's transporter and pay the transport fee to transport coal and other materials. I think you shouldn't be that special captain, and Redbeard Port shouldn't be that special port.
What do you think?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Mr. Furnace, this is all my fault! Please give me a chance, please let me sincerely apologize to Chief Salmon."
Rudolf turned to look at Salmon: "Samon, are you willing to accept his apology?"
Salmon's mood, which had been depressed for a long time, finally improved a lot: "I do."
Toynbee hurriedly took the wine glass, walked towards Salmon, bowed repeatedly, toasted Salmon and apologized.
Seeing Toynbee return to his position, Salmon was eager to be promoted. If he was a level 4 alchemist, his status would be much higher, and he would not be looked down upon by these captains.
Rudolf still had a wine glass in his hand, so he tapped his wrist and looked around the banquet hall. The captains applauded. This conflict was easily resolved. The terrible Furnace did not delve into it. This was a good thing.
"This is the first rule I set: when entering Red Beard Port, all actions must obey the port's management."
The captains clapped their hands on the table at a fast pace. This was the custom of the pirates on the Saragu Sea. If they agreed with an opinion, they would quickly clapped the table or the deck.
Rudolf set his sights on the second captain.
"Captain Connie, I heard that you were fighting on my dock?"
A tall man with a square face stood up: "Dear Mr. Furnace, I apologize to you. That was an accident. I was impulsive. I am willing to compensate for the damaged port facilities."
Rudolf shook his head: "I hope you can give me a more reasonable explanation." Captain Connie sighed, and then confessed: "I shouldn't be arresting suspects for the United States of Upper Thorn. Please believe me, Mr. Furnace, my purpose is to collect the reward, not to cause trouble in your port."
Rudolph nodded, feeling relieved that Connie could tell the truth: "Captain Connie, my intelligence chief told me that you were a naval colonel in the United States of Upper Thorn. Don't get excited, don't explain, I won't hold you accountable today."
Raising his hand to signal Captain Connie not to speak, Rudolph continued:
"I will not change the tradition of Red Beard Island. Red Beard Island is a free port.
The port of the Trapped Church belongs to the Church of the Evil God, and there are many inconveniences in going there. Red Beard Island is different. Red Beard Island welcomes all ships.
Ships from the Kingdom of God or the United States can come, and ships from the church can come; large merchant ships can come, fishing boats can come, coal ships can come, and grain ships can come.
However, any ship that comes here is not allowed to fight here.
Leave the territorial waters of Red Beard Island and leave 12 nautical miles outside Red Beard Island. Even if you skin and pull out the tendons of the other party, I will not ask, but on Red Beard Island, without my permission, none of you are allowed to use violence."
An urgent voice came from behind: "And me, and my permission."
Rudolph turned around and rolled his eyes at Cooper. He was being passionate, why was he so upset and affecting the atmosphere.
"Oh, of course, and the real owner of Red Beard Island, Mr. Green Skull, also needs to obtain the permission of Green Skull."
Rudolph signaled a captain to stand up. A warship under Kedrick was docked in the port.
The uniform of the lieutenant commander of the Elba Royal Navy made everyone understand that what the furnace said was true, and the Elba Royal Navy would also abide by the rules of Red Beard Island.
After saying the nice words, Rudolph began to intimidate:
"Green Skull and I will not stay on Red Beard Island forever. We have a lot of things to do. Green Skull wants to increase his collection, and I want to hunt relics."
The captains took a breath. Can this be said to each other's face?
Wizards hunting relics and zombies making collections are all things that the apostles are very afraid of. They became prey in front of the two.
For a moment, the air in the banquet hall became a little colder.
This Red Beard Island is too small. Rudolph and Cooper cannot be confined to this small island. This island can bring them wealth, and that's all.
"Of course, you don't have to worry. I guarantee with Green Skull's life that we will never attack anyone on Red Beard Island, even if you are my enemy. If you stay on Red Beard Island, I will keep my promise and ensure your safety."
The hoarse voice of Green Skull sounded: "I also guarantee with the life of the furnace that we will never attack the guests of Red Beard Island."
"Convince people with reason. We do business in a friendly manner. We should be reasonable if we can, and avoid violence if we can. It would be bad to destroy the flowers and plants on Red Beard Island." Rudolph said:
"This is the second rule I set. We will not attack any passing ships."
Amid the sound of slapping the table, the captains looked at each other. The rules of the Undead Duo seemed pretty good?
Rudolph will not stay on Redbeard Island often, but he has to ensure the safety of Salmon and others on the island:
"Whether we are here or not, you must abide by our rules.
If someone offends the port again when we are not here, don't blame us for revenge afterwards. You know that Green Skull and I are immortal, and those wanted notices have some impact on us, but the impact is limited."
