Chapter 487: Chapter 291 The Tsar’s Law and the Eastern Orthodox Church_2

"Under the current reign of Ekaterina IX of the Tevryl Duchy, the Tevryl Duchy has successfully united half of the Ross nations and has changed its name, claiming to be the Tsar Nation of Quanluos. But due to historical inertia, we still call their country the Tevryl Duchy. By the way, Lord Ivita, it was Ekaterina IX who overthrew Grand Duke Evan VIII, who had ordered my arrest, so she is actually my benefactor."

A clear regret showed on Duva Gureggrevsky’s face. "Unfortunately, I am now a resident of the pirate world, abandoned by all nations. I will never be able to set foot in my homeland, the land of the extreme north, in this lifetime."

"The Tsar’s law is complex, so the special district law is a subsidiary law of the Tsar’s law, and the Shooting Army is a subsidiary law of the special district law. I’m not very clear about the Shooting Army law myself. What I do know is that under this law, some knights who hold firearms seem to gain special legal blessings that give them terrifying power. They are the claws of the Tsar and one of the key forces in establishing absolute monarchy."

"I’ve heard that under the Tsar’s law, each knight of the Shooting Army has an astounding combat power. Their strength and speed are far greater than regular knights, and the firearms they hold have an incredible power, so much that almost no one can survive their attacks."

Ivita showed a thoughtful expression.

Obviously, the monarchy of the countries in the Magic Black Forest is dominated by feudal monarchy, while the Tevryl Duchy, or the Tsar Nation of Quanluos, operates under an absolute monarchy.

The political system of the peninsula, due to the existence of the Three Republics and the Papal Country, is more complex, with feudal monarchy not being prominent outside of the Lombardy Duchy.

The Western Church of the God of All Things,

The Eastern Orthodox Church,

Feudal Monarchy,

Absolute Monarchy...

In Ivita’s eyes, these represented the western countries and the eastern Ross countries, which were two completely different geographical and cultural regions.

Moreover, it’s apparent that more powerful laws can shape special armies under those laws. But it is unknown whether there are any special armies unique to Alsace under the laws of the Alsace Kingdom.

Ivita asked Duva Gureggrevsky, "Does the pirate world have any special armies under its laws?"

Duva Gureggrevsky’s eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that when Ivita asked this question, it revealed his ambition to further advance towards Cross Island and launch an attack on the Valji Family’s headquarters on the island.

This, too, was the main reason he had come to find Ivita.

Duva Gureggrevsky said, "Yes."

"In the Central Harbour of Cross Island, Upper City, there is a special army of the pirate world under the Seven Seas Law Code - the [Goli Ghost Pirates]. They are invulnerable to blades and guns and have endured countless battles. Their bodies are as impenetrable as copper walls and iron fences, and it is rumored that they are protected by the power of the sea."

"The Goli Ghost Pirates are the only army in the pirate world that directly belongs to the central government of the Pirate Republic."

"However, those pirates are part of the Seven Seas Law Code, and they will only be commanded by the Great Governor of Central Harbour, so you don’t have to worry about them. Your personal grudge against the Valji Family is something that the Great Governor will not meddle in."

"There are nearly no rules in the pirate world because, honestly, whose hands in the pirate world are clean? Besides, no one is willing to sacrifice their own interests, spending their days monitoring and protecting others."

Ivita nodded. He said to Duva Gureggrevsky, "I’ve enjoyed our conversation, and indeed I didn’t bring many people with me to the pirate world this time. Even if the Valji Family were to hand over their property to us, dreaming to take control of it with just our dozen people is fundamentally impossible."

A knowing smile crept onto Duva Gureggrevsky’s face. "The Black Sea is incredibly dangerous. Unless a kingdom or duchy plans a full-scale invasion, it’s untoward to bring many ships here. Because no one knows what lurks in the Black Sea."

"That’s exactly what drives my line of work."

Duva Gureggrevsky said to Ivita, "What we call a quartermaster is actually one of the three dominant classes in the pirate world. The pirate world mainly has three classes."

"First, pirates and pirate ship captains."

"Second, smuggling families."

"Third, us quartermasters."

"As you know, pirates can lose in their looting, and they can’t possibly take their treasures out to sea to rob others. In doing so, they would become targets of other pirates. So, that’s where we quartermasters come in, allowing them to store their treasures with us."

"While smugglers provide pirates with channels to sell goods, we quartermasters provide services to store pirates’ wealth and plan their ambushes to prevent them from incurring losses."

Ivita nodded. This was basically the bank and the market revolving around the pirates as the center.

Duva Gureggrevsky said to Ivita, "And I am a quartermaster who specifically services situations like yours. So, please trust our business capabilities and our credit."

"Unlike pirates, quartermasters eat based on their credit."
