MTLNOVEL Chapter 316: Pirate Hunter - Eagle
Ding~
The system notification rang beside Lis's ear, and he casually opened the system panel to find that, in addition to the Experience Points gained from killing pirates, there was a new alert refreshed.
---------------
[You have obtained a new milestone [Pirate Hunter - Eagle]]
[Milestone [Pirate Hunter - Eagle]: The deeds of your ship, the Eagle, striking against pirates in the Treasure Pearl Sea are starting to become known to all. Your actions will attract the wariness of some, but even more so, the respect of others. Region Legend Level +1]
---------------
Region Legend Level, huh, it should only be the reputation in the Treasure Pearl Sea region. If I were to become a Pirate King, strutting across the East Coast of the continent like that, I might then earn a continent-wide Legend Level.
However, this can also increase the Experience cap for the player tasks I issue now.
Lis's current Experience cap is mostly consumed through the influence module in the system panel. In the months since leaving Bright City, the experience he gained daily has not decreased, and the accumulated Experience is more and more.
This is quite normal. Lis has also paid attention to the player forum to relax. Now all players have reached around Level 20, about to reach the first version's cap.
Therefore, players are holding onto more and more Experience Points and are more willing to spend Experience Points to learn Skills in Lis's Skill Store.
What's more important is that when Lis left Bright City, he arranged for his brother Mora to expand the White Dove Chamber of Commerce to other areas of the Feis Kingdom and to recruit players.
Looking at it now, the effect seems pretty good.
The [Influence] system module of Lis showed that the number of recruited players had increased significantly compared to before.
Moreover, on the player forum, Lis found many posts related to the White Dove Chamber of Commerce, most of which were about how to better take advantage of the White Dove Chamber of Commerce, guides for Guild Tasks, recommendations for exchanging contribution points, and so on. Discussions and popularity related to the White Dove Chamber of Commerce among the players are quite high.
Lis even saw posts by players from other countries discussing whether or not to join the White Dove Chamber of Commerce across nations.
There were even quite a few player posts compiling information about Lis's whereabouts, with the latest update still placing him in the northern part of the Feis Kingdom.
After all, during Lis's time in the Dillon Kingdom, he mostly used the alias "Moriarty," and neither the Kovia Hills nor Ward City were places where players could step foot in yet.
Speaking of which, the players' 'crops' should be about ready for the harvest, right? It might be time to reap them soon.
Lis nodded his head and refocused his attention.
On board the Eagle now, aside from the two pirates in front of Helen, the rest of the pirates had been killed on the spot.
Helen's little face was earnest as she wielded her Longsword methodically in combat with the pirate in front of her, who was just an average person.
The pirate had a hesitant look, moving timidly and seemed utterly reluctant to strike at Helen.
There was no helping it. A group of Silver Level powerhouses was eyeing his every move, the pressure was immense.
His abilities were already inferior to Helen's, and in such a State, he quickly became flustered under her pressure and was soon going to admit defeat.
Lis nodded in approval. This was Helen's first combat experience; to perform so poised and unleash her own strength without disorder was already a sign of exceptional Talent.
Letting Helen win her first battle was also a better method for cultivating her confidence.
Of course, the Bronze Level Professional she was going to face soon wouldn't be so easy.
If that Bronze Level pirate went too easy on her, Lis would secretly pass a message asking him to go a bit harder, to let Helen experience the dangers of this world.
"Mr. Lis, the captain of that merchant ship has come over and would like to communicate with you," Evar approached and said with a bow.
"No need, just tell them to leave directly," Lis replied nonchalantly, waving his hand, but then fell silent for a moment before saying to Evar:
"Wait, do it like this, tell them to pay protection money!"
"Protection money?"
Evar was a bit confused, not quite understanding what Lis meant.
"We protected them from that pirate ship, didn't we? Just have them pay an amount equivalent to ten percent of their ship's value."
Lis's mouth curved up slightly as he continued:
"After all, we're on a pirate ship. Can't be too nice to them. I don't want to work for free."
"Alright, I'll go tell them right now," Evar said, now understanding Lis's intention. It's just like those port gangs collecting protection rackets!
That captain would probably accept it too. It's far better than being plundered by pirates outright.
...
Hoel, the captain of the Mord Commerce merchant ship, had originally planned to just sail away, but before he could get far, he noticed a merchant ship suddenly emerge and dispose of the pirate ship.
Hoel didn't believe that pirate ship was weak; he saw very clearly the violet-blue Magic Light and the numerous thunderbolts falling from mid-air, all indicating that there was a powerful Mage aboard that ship.
Hoel could tell that the ship's target was the pirate ship, and so he didn't think it appropriate to leave directly.
After all, they had potentially saved their lives, and it seemed proper to come forward and express their gratitude.

More importantly, if the other party planned to head toward the nearby port, Hoel planned to follow that ship to hitch a ride.
The Treasure Pearl Sea had indeed started to become chaotic recently, and he was somewhat worried about encountering another pirate ship.
