Chapter 306: Elsa's Castle (13)
At first, the dozens of pirates captured by July were quite hard-mouthed, but after July only hit them in the most painful acupoint, they recruited everything.
July thought that the island of Gaya he was going to was a small island living in the shadow of pirates, but in fact, the pirates in this area were actually pretended to be inhabitants of the surrounding islands.
The island of Gaya is not big, but it is very barren, and there are very few plants that can live on the island, and the only arable land is occupied by a plant called the seven-colored flower, which has a beautiful name and beautiful flowers, but the inhabitants of the island hate it, because no matter how the inhabitants of the island eradicate it, it will come back to life in a few days, and squeeze those edible plants alive.
There are small boats at sea that are responsible for monitoring the sea area, and as long as they see a small merchant ship, they will go back to report the news, and the residents of the island will instantly become pirates and come out to rob.
But the people of Gaya rob and rob, but rarely kill, and it is because of this that the army turns a blind eye to them and allows them to do this kind of thing.
July's eyelids jumped a little, although she had been mentally prepared that Gaya Island would be poor, but she didn't expect to be so poor, and she was really unhappy to face ruling a group of amateur pirates.
Forget it, it's already here, be poor!
After July explained his identity and intentions to these people, their attitudes immediately changed. The people of Gaya have always known that their lords are the Grino family, but only because they are so poor here. So no one came to take over, just sent a servant of the Grino family to take over the place.
For the aristocracy, ordinary people were extremely respectful. What's more, it is the direct descendant of such a big family, and everyone has only heard of its legends in the past, and has never seen a real person.
These amateur pirates quickly turned black and turned to powder, happily leading the way to the island of Gaya in July.
According to those people, the most valuable thing on the island is their boat, and although there are a lot of things that have been stolen before, it is only enough for everyone to eat daily when they share it with the inhabitants of the island. The extra cost of repairing the ship will have to be done.
It was already morning when July arrived on the island of Gaya, and after going ashore, July really saw the poverty here. The houses on the island are almost all dilapidated. The people I saw were all yellow-faced and thin-skinned, and only a few young adults took up their arms after seeing July and them ashore, and looked at July's group of people with fierce eyes.
"Who are you?" said an old man who walked across from the crowd around July, and asked July vigilantly.
There was no nervous look on July's face. She reached out and took out the lord's seal in her bosom. Then he said to the old man, "I am Elsa of the Grino family, and I am here to succeed the lord."
"You're Miss Elsa?" exclaimed the old man after hearing July's words.
"Yes," July nodded, then took two steps forward, handing the seal in his hand to the old man.
After the old man confirmed it seriously, he began to look up and down Qiyue, and gradually, his eyes were overflowing with tears, and his voice trembled and said, "Sure enough, it's the eldest lady, it's really the eldest lady! I'm still the housekeeper in the house, and I haven't seen you in years. I didn't expect to see you again in my lifetime, it's great! The master is okay! How is the young master? How could they let you come to such a place?"
The old man breathed excitedly and asked a lot of questions.
The old man and young master in the old man's mouth should be Elsa's father and grandfather, July shook his head, and said with some sadness, "Grandfather and father have both passed away, and only I survived, so I came here." ”
"Goddess, how is this possible," cried the old man in shock, his face almost instantly white and full of tears.
The old man was sad for a while before he remembered July, he wiped away the tears on his face and said to July very apologetically, "Miss, I'm really sorry, I'm really confused, you must have suffered a lot, and it must have been hard to come from afar!"
When I went to the island in July, I was actually shocked by the broken houses of those civilians, but when I saw the so-called City Lord's Mansion, July was shocked again.
"Is this the City Lord's Mansion?" asked the old man, pointing to the dilapidated house.
The house is a little bigger at best, but it's not an exaggeration to describe it as ruined.
The old man wiped the sweat on his forehead with embarrassment on his face and said to July, "When the old man asked me to come, he asked me to take over this place secretly, although I also brought some money, but other people's houses are very broken, if I repair the city lord's mansion too well, it will be too eye-catching! ”
"Well, in that case, forget it, it's okay, I don't care too much about where I live," July said, waving his hand.
If it was really Elsa who came, she would definitely not be able to stand this environment, but July had not suffered anything, and she could be accommodated by giving her a tile.
After introducing himself, July learned that the old man's name was Dominic, and he was originally the housekeeper of the Grino family, but later because Elsa's grandfather felt that the situation was becoming more and more unstable, in order to leave a way out, he sent Dominic here, and the reason why he was sent here was that there was a treasure of the Grino family.
When she heard the treasure, July was eating the food prepared for her by Dominic's housekeeper, and when she heard this word, she choked directly, and coughed for a long time before she eased up, and the first thing she did after July eased up was to ask Dominic in surprise, "You mean there is a treasure here?"
"Yes, Miss. Dominic nodded in confirmation.
Before July, she knew about the treasure in Elsa's memory, but she thought it was just a rumor, but she didn't expect it to be there.
"What is that treasure?" asked July eagerly.
Dominic shook his head and said, "Miss, in fact, the master didn't tell me what it was, he just said let me guard it, and when someone comes in the future, that person will naturally know what it is!
July shook her head, she was depressed, maybe Elsa should have known, maybe if she hadn't foolishly let the enemy in, her father would have told her the secret before the danger came, and then transferred her. But it all happened so quickly that Elsa didn't have time to hear anything in the end.
