Chapter 22: New Garand at Night

When Ardan came ashore, he gave the boatman Aurus a determined look. "Believe me, when I become a lord, I will definitely let you eat and drink spicy food. ”

"Yes, I sent you to New Garand at the risk of being beheaded, just to wait for the day when I can build a dockyard and have my own fleet to sail the seas......" Orus nodded, tears welling up in his eyes. "Adain, you must remember tonight's kindness!"

The light of the guards' torches approached.

"Anyway, they're coming soon, and I'm going to get back to Kingsbridge before dawn. Aurus waved to the dock, and Ardan waved at him.

Seeing the other party leave, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

At this time, it was late at night, and the lights of the New Garand were bright. In this small planked dock, Edane could barely reach out to his fingers. He saw a fire in a nearby place, so he had no choice but to go up.

"That old man, will you tell me how to go upstairs to the city?"

The old man sitting next to the torch turned his head.

"Huh!?" Aidan jumped back two steps in fright, stretched out his hand, and sweated profusely. "Uncle, I didn't expect you to be fishing here so late. ”

"Ah...... It's Xiao Ai......" Waters saw that it was his acquaintance, and he moved his gaze back to the fishing rod in his hand and the dark river in the distance.

"That's nothing, I'll go first......" Adain touched his head and was about to slip out, but was glared back by Waters.

"What are you doing on this boat ride at night?" he narrowed. "Don't lie to me, your trick won't work in front of me. ”

"Well, sir, I'm coming back from Kingsbridge. He said deliberately in a mysterious way. "To tell you the truth, I just received a letter of inheritance, saying that I want to come back here to inherit a million family fortune and become a lord. ”

"Huh?"

"Tut-tut, that means I'm rich! I'm going to inherit a lot of inheritance, and then I'm going to live a life of glory and wealth. When the time comes, uncle, I will summon you to my castle, and you will be served with good food and drink, okay?"

"It's not going to work for me, Adayn, believe it or not I'm going to whip your ass hard with this fishing rod?

"No, I'm telling the truth. Adan took a stacked good letter from his pocket and handed it to Waters. Waters watched the firelight for a moment, his brow gradually unraveling.

"Yo, Xiao Ai, what shit luck did you step on? Who would send you such a thing?"

"Ahh "I do a good deed every day, of course God will reward me. ”

"Cut, I feel like you're lying again. Waters handed him the letter. "Why don't you come here during the day?"

"Actually, I'm in a little trouble......" Adain touched his head.

"What's the trouble?"

"Well, uncle, you know, people like me walk on the street and often show off to others, so some people see me and want to kill me and take this letter...... So, I had no choice but to sneak back from Kingsbridge by boat while they weren't looking. ”

"Your temperament really hasn't changed. Waters snorted. "Did you know that it was illegal to come here by boat from Kingsbridge?"

"I know, I know, that the young king was afraid that the Mysia's spies would go to Kingsbridge and come here by ship. So the boatman was also at great risk. I showed him the letter and told him that as soon as I became a lord, I would buy him a dockyard and make him the owner of the dockyard. ”

"Aren't you afraid that he's also a despicable villain?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I may not be able to get out of the siege of a group of people, but I still have a way to face him. Adain coughed. "Uncle, if it's okay, I'll leave first. You have to take care, I really can't understand you when I run out to fish in the middle of the night. ”

"As for what you promised to eat and drink, I think I'd better forget it, I prefer to blow the wind here than that thing. Waters touched his white beard. "You kid will understand later, don't be obsessed with money and go astray. ”

"Got it, got it, so Uncle Vorster, can you tell me where the judge's house is?"

"I don't know, you can go upstairs and ask the others. Waters waved his hand. "Don't bother me here. ”

"Yes yes yes ......"

Nova Garand, the capital of the entire kingdom of Vasilia, is now shrouded in darkness. It's a magnificent city paved with bricks and stones, and the four or five metre high stairs are required to get to the pier from the pavement of the city, which is enough to show the enormity of the city's buildings. The city houses at least 100,000 inhabitants, and the castle is home to thousands of guards, servants, ministers, etc., and is a place of luxury from the towering walls to the huge docks that never fall silent.

Adan opened a wooden gate beside the small pier and followed the torch-lit staircase up the pavement of the city. This small pier is rarely frequented, but as soon as you enter the street, it is immediately more crowded. For a moment, the glare of the lights almost stung Aydahn's eyes, and he saw a group of curious residents staring at the strange man who had climbed up from the harbor.

"Look at what," he patted his clothes, which looked a little old from the days of traveling. "When I become a lord, I will have you good-looking. ”

He followed the road in the direction of the town hall. The city hall is facing the Blue Mist River and is planted with the national flag. Walking a few dozen steps past the town hall, you can see the well-greened cathedral, but this cathedral is loyal to the Imperial Church and does not belong to the Three Holy Churches, which has a growing number of believers. The true altar of the Three Saints requires turning right and finding the small altar in an open space in the city.

Adam didn't believe anything, he only believed in his own brain and the dagger in his hand. Unable to be a priest and with no magical talents, he survived in the Exiled Kingdom with just one hand and one mouth. Born in Freeport, the western city of Mercia, he was abandoned by his uncle when he was a child, and had to steal all the way to get to and settle down. He recalls when he first arrived in New Garand. That's when he first entered the city with the pirate ship in the port of Vrigald. He worked as an ordinary crew member on the ship. But the operation did not go well, and the captain of the ship revealed his identity as a pirate and was attacked by the knights of Vasilia.

The pirates were besieged unprepared, and of course there was only one way to die. Edan jumped into the wide river in the chaos and nearly drowned, but was fortunately saved by Waters, who was sitting on the bank of the river fishing, otherwise the little life would have really ended. At that time, Edane, who was wet and tired and frightened, did not wonder why this ordinary old man still sat by the river with an unchanged face when the pirates and soldiers were in a mess, and then saved himself.

"Hello, Miss Fresa Lahader. Adahn beckoned to the spice merchant he knew beside him.

"Where have you been these days?" said Freisa Lahard, still looking melancholy. Ever since she lost her family's heirloom, she has become what she is now.

"Hehe, I took a trip to the Sakya Forest this month, and I was lucky. But to be honest, Adan is also full of sympathy for Freisa Lahard, but after all, there is no need for him to risk the search for relics for such a person, so sympathy is only sympathy.

"You're talking about luck, you made a successful gamble in the casino, right?" said Freisa Lahard, stroking her blonde hair, staring at the spices in her hands.

"No, Miss Fresa Lahard. I received a letter of inheritance, which told me to go to the judge, inherit a million inheritance, and make me a knight...... If you don't believe me, I can show you my inheritance. ”

"You don't need it, you can say whatever you want. Freisa Lahad sighed.

"Miss, do you know where the Judge's home is?"

"It seems to be in the northeast corner of the city, and if you're not sure, you can ask other people. She dragged her chin with her hand. Freisa Lahad is a small and delicate woman, and it is not easy to support the entire family's spice business alone, and it is not easy to compete with the powerful Golden Hand Society.

Edan glanced at her and wanted to say a few words of flattery, but remembering that he had something to do, and that all Freisa Lahad could give him was a cold look, Adahn sighed and left.

"I'm afraid it's rude to go to the judge at night, so it's better to spend the night in the hotel today, and go to meet my perfect life early tomorrow morning!" Adain thought in his heart and walked briskly.

"Ahh......h
