On the dock of Hongye Village, a group of porters and sailors with thick hands and feet were squatting or sitting around William, listening to him telling the copycat version of Water Margin.

This bad embryo changed the name and background of the characters, and became the story of the pirate captain and his subordinates 108 pirates scattering across the sea. Of course, some private goods were inevitable, and the imperial court, that is, the "kingdom nobles" and the "world government" bullied the good and forced the good to add fuel to the story of the enemy.

The smuggling business has already started to be on track. A group of people produce alcohol and alcoholic beverages in Hongye Village. Sherlock uses the connections of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce to transport the fleet, and sometimes even directly affiliate with the Chamber of Commerce, and eventually transport it to local pharmacies for sale. At the same time, relying on money and high-end wine raised by the prohibition to bribe local officials. These feudal bureaucrats are not afraid of the corrosion of alcohol and money, and easily allow a group of people to establish a trade network locally.

When the goods are traveling back and forth at sea, William, Alamis, Akin, Wallonia, Edmund and others will follow the cargo ship in shifts to protect them from attacks from pirates and even other competitors.

William was never idle at this time. He was a sociable person. With his identity, he easily got into all kinds of people on the boat and on the dock. From the captain, to the cargo workers and sailors, he knew almost everything. He also had an account book in his heart for those who could be cultivated.

This process is the process of William cultivating his own connections.

The profits of the smuggling business have allowed William to accumulate a lot of money. With the connections he has saved in this year, he can raise troops at any time and purchase a large ship to go out to sea. If he hadn't intended to learn swordsmanship in the dojo and continue to accumulate and improve his strength.

Speaking of the people on the boat and on the dock, the cargo workers and sailors like William the most because he is very capable and has a high status, but he is not arrogant yet. Unlike the captains and merchants, they basically hide in their own special cabins as soon as they get on the boat, but they often smoke and chat with them.

William was not from a wealthy family in his previous life, so it was easy to get along with these lower-class workers.

Most of these dock workers, ordinary sailors, have no education, are not very educated, have a lot of illiteracy, and like to surround William to listen to him tell stories, tell stories that he has never heard of, and have a long experience.

On the one hand, it is because of novelty, and on the other hand, it is also a bit cunning, hoping to leave an impression in front of the boss William.

After William told the adapted story of Lin Chong Yeben, a group of listeners commented.

A sailor said with an unhappy face: "That navy named Wood is too cowardly. Even his wife can't protect him. If it weren't for the chance to hear the secret talk, he would probably have a dream of starting over again!"

The companion next to him retorted: "Stop talking sarcastic words. They are Tianlong people. I guess you will kneel on the ground in fear when standing in front of you."

The man before argued: "I am just an ordinary person. I am a lieutenant general and the head of the headquarters. I must be very powerful. If I want to be as powerful as him, I will first punch the bullshit dragon man, and then break out of the headquarters of the Navy and be a big pirate who is willing to revenge!"

Others disdained his fantasy and said: "I'm talking awesome."

Another sailor thought and discussed: "You said that the Tianlong people have such great power. What if the naval hero Karp accidentally offended the Tianlong people? Will it end up like Wood?"

A bunch of people fell into a fierce quarrel again, and William did not join in because he had seen Ajin and others appear from the end of the dock.

"Why are you late?" William stood up from the cargo box and asked Ajin loudly.

The cargo on the ship has been moved. If it weren't for those who were waiting for the boat to come, it wouldn't have been parked for so long, and William wouldn't have time to sit idle at the dock and tell stories to a bunch of people.

Just when Ajin and others approached, William knew why they were late. A little girl with neat black hair was being carried by Wallon on her back.

The little girl was only about ten years old and had a thin figure. She held a knife that was too long for her. When she saw William, she raised her head, which was originally buried in Wallon's back, and shouted fiercely: "William!"

"Guina, why are you here?" William just smiled gently at first. After his eyes fell on the girl's hand, his brows frowned involuntarily, and his tone became a little stern, "Why did you bring out the 'Hedao Yiwen'!"

Guina is the daughter of Koshiro, the owner of Yixin Temple. However, Koshiro doesn't take special care of himself, his only child in the temple. He treats him equally whether it is daily training or guidance.

Although the word "六生" is a Kyoshiro's item, it will be Guina's thing in the future and she can use it at will, but the journey between Hongye Village and Shuangyue Village is not close. A child who is only about ten years old is at risk of being stolen or robbed by such a sword. William knows this, and he also knows the value of "六生" to the swordsman.

"I'll challenge you!" Guina struggled and jumped off Wallon's back. Unexpectedly, she cried out in pain as soon as she landed on the ground.

Ajin, who was standing by, explained: "Guina sprained her ankle halfway through the way she came. I wanted to send her back to the dojo. She had a long time fuss, and Valon's ears were too soft, so she carried her over."

Guina said angrily: "Ajin is a bad guy, Valon is not soft-headed, he is a good guy."

Upon hearing this, Valon scratched the back of his head embarrassedly and wanted to help Guina up, but Guina refused.

Guina stood up with a strong sword and said to William with a tight face: "Today I want to challenge you again and defeat you, I am the strongest disciple in the dojo!"

"Nothing!" William shook his head.

Guina said dissatisfiedly: "I specially brought the 'Handao Yiwen' today to defeat you..."

Before she finished speaking, William had already pulled the knife-shelf from his waist and knocked it on Guina's "Hedao Yiwen" as a crutch.

Guina was not able to react and her strength was not as strong as William. "Hedao Yiwen" was knocked out of her hand by William, and she herself fell heavily on the solid road surface of the dock.

However, although Guina is just a little girl about ten years old, she is much stronger than her peers. Her arms and knees were broken, but she didn't care. She just raised her head angrily and said to William: "You're a sneak attack!"

"During actual combat, do you expect the enemy to listen to your words and say so much?" William turned his head, "And do you know what you call? Overestimate yourself! He was not my opponent, but now he is injured and incomplete, but he still wants to challenge me. If I am a real enemy, what is the difference between your behavior and suicide?"
