Two days later, Simon's Mansion.

An ordinary envelope for the nobility sits in a tray with red velvet cushions.

The material of the envelope has a slender and convex natural fiber texture, exuding the fragrance of pine, and the emblem of the blue iris in the lower right corner is miniature and delicate, but it is extremely dazzling to the eyes of the onlooker.

"Master Andrei, what are you?"

Old Simon suppressed the surprise shock and uneasiness in his heart, and his wrinkled face showed a look of surprise, and he couldn't help but drift away, stealing a look at the ordinary-looking female mage sitting beside Andre with her hands flat in front of her.

Andre noticed his eyes and looked at Lin An.

Since he had sent out the envelope with a blue iris before, this well-informed old businessman could probably guess her identity, and with a hint of a smile, Lin An said bluntly:

"We hope that the Simons can do one thing for us."

It was not a request, nor a transaction, old Simon had a solemn look in his cloudy eyes, a smile swept away from his face, and he said in a deep voice:

"As commanded, Your Excellency."

Without hesitation.

Ginger is still old and spicy.

Lin An secretly praised, "I hope that Gypsys City will be as calm as possible, so that everyone can forget what happened two days ago." ”

The cloudy pupils flickered slightly, and old Simon hesitated for a moment, and asked humbly, "Please forgive the old man for being stupid, what do you ......mean?"

"The reconstruction of the reconstruction, the compensation of the compensation, the restoration of the original order, some things that should not be remembered, of course, will slowly fade away, do you need to say more?" Andrei pretended to be impatient.

"In this case, the old man understands." Old Simon suddenly put down a big stone in his heart.

From the day Lin An and the others left, he knew that they would come to the door again sooner or later, Simon's family escaped because of them, and the mage was never a philanthropist who did good deeds in vain, and now their request was a little difficult, but compared to what Old Simon originally expected, it was not difficult.

The most important thing is that Simon's family no longer has to worry about this unworthy favor - the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, and what happened two days ago has confirmed this.

Looking at the letter on the red velvet cushion, as well as Lin An's request, it is obvious that they still abide by certain rules in doing things, and they are not the kind of people who act unscrupulously.

After relieving one's heart, the instinct that belongs to the merchant reacts.

Old Simon's mind spun quickly, thinking about what benefits the Simon family could gain by the way while doing their best to fulfill the requirements of their guests perfectly.

"In this way, we immediately set up a relief committee to house the civilians and travelers who were accidentally injured and injured, and set up free temporary tents; In addition, the old man is also familiar with the owners of the Crystal Orchid Casino, and can buy the land at a high price; And ......"

In the end, it is an old fox who has been crisscrossing the business sea for many years, and after old Simon pondered for a while, he quickly typed a belly draft,

“…… Launched in the name of Deep Blue Sail, I will contact some old friends, and I think there will be many other big businesses who will also respond positively, after all, no one wants Gypsys City to be depressed because of this, and it will not make our move seem too abrupt...... What do you two think of this? ”

According to old Simon's estimation, since the two of them visited in secret, it was obvious that they wanted to borrow the hand of Simon's family, and they didn't want to show their faces, so they boldly said that they would start in the name of their own family.

"Very well, let's do it!" Lin An didn't mind the old Simon's selfishness of taking the opportunity to gain fame, and Simon's family needed to pay a lot to wipe their butts for the events of the previous two days.

"I have only one request, and I don't want anyone else to know that this matter is related to us, not even by hint."

The strong are not cabbages, and they will not gather in Gypsys City for no reason, and it is already rare to have one or two.

Presumably, the old Simon and the others who saw Master Justin's gaffe with their own eyes that day would have guessed that the movements in the center of the city two days ago were caused by them, and the rest of the upper echelons of Gypsy City, because of Old Simon's silence, it is estimated that this is not yet certain.

Lin An knew that they might connect them to that incident, but it was better to guess than to admit it directly.

Although the people of the entire Gypsy City together can't do much damage to Lin An, no one likes to erect so many enemies at once, maybe they will inexplicably trip over stones in the future.

Of course, the old businessman who has been in the world for a long time understands Lin An's thoughts better, and hurriedly and solemnly agreed, swearing to keep it a secret - the Simon family is involved with Lin An, and it will not benefit them to leak the culprit.

"Well, you deserve it." Lin An raised his chin proudly.

Old Simon humbled again and again, but finally accepted it disrespectfully.

It's not that no one can see Fito's crisis, although it is not certain whether the war will burn to the entire continent, but with this letter of recommendation, Simon's family at least has a safe way out - for this letter alone, old Simon is also determined to do things to Lin An's satisfaction.

Consensus was reached on the most important thing, and the atmosphere was already quite harmonious.

The butler personally served the black tea, Lin An leaned on the back of the satin chair slightly relaxed, picked up the teacup, picked up a cinnamon stick and stirred it in the one-eared white porcelain cup for a while, and the delicate fine white foam formed a shallow vortex on the surface of the liquid.

The mellow aroma of black tea filled the small reception room, and the guests of honor drank tea separately and slowly enjoyed a moment of tranquility.

"Actually, this time, we want to ask you about something." Putting down the teacup that exuded a thin layer of heat, Lin An spoke again.

Old Simon put down the teacup only slightly, and sat upright when he heard the words, "The old man must know everything." ”

"Do you have any comments if we want to go to sea?"

Old Simon's heart jumped, and he immediately understood, and he was still thinking seriously on the surface, and asked slowly:

"It depends on your destination – whether it's near or far sea, what the currents and monsoons are like, whether there are credible navigators to guide you, and the ship's sailors are prepared, and so on."

"So troublesome?" Andrei frowned slightly.

"Of course. I'm afraid you haven't been to the sea before.

The goddess of the sea is always moody, and boundless, once offshore, no matter how big the ship, is like a small lonely boat, a wave or two feet high for inland lakes, is already rare, but for the ocean, this is completely commonplace.

Moreover, the sailing time of the sea boat, to say the least, is often a month or two, long-distance, a year and a half is also common, and it often takes a lot of effort to prepare, the sea is not an inland river, even if you don't understand the water, you can reach the destination with a sampan. ”

Since it is named after "Deep Blue Sail", Simon's family naturally started as a shipping company, and Old Simon also knew that Lin An and Andre specially asked him for reasons and sincerely gave his opinions.

Lin An and the others nodded slightly, they didn't doubt Old Simon's words.

The Terrans have never stopped exploring and conquering the sea, and as mages, they can naturally read some books and materials about navigation, and have a certain amount of common sense, Lin An and Andre are also mentally prepared.

"Our destination should be inshore," there was a corner of the continent on the chart, and the mark was quite clear, "there have been people who have arrived, so there should be a route that can be reached—"

Picking up Lin An's words, Andre added, "Moreover, whether it is drinking water or safety, there is no need to worry; Although we are not familiar with sea routes, it is not difficult for us to simply discern the direction - what else do we need to prepare? ”

"The old man is only glad that mages like the two of them will not come to compete with ordinary people like us for business, otherwise the dark blue sail will only have one way to go!"

Old Simon made a joke and continued:

"On the premise of what they said, it's a lot simpler. Well, an experienced captain and a navigator familiar with the route are undoubtedly essential; A reliable and disciplined sailor can also save a lot of trouble for both of them; A sturdy sea vessel that can withstand the wind and waves is the foundation of a safe and enjoyable voyage......"

Old Simon talked a lot, took a sip of tea, and moistened his thirsty throat,

"Generally speaking, the first is the most important, if you can hire an experienced and reputable captain who is usually a seasoned navigator with navigational qualifications, then they will generally have most or all of the back, and they will be able to hire a reliable ship and a reliable sailor for you, and he will be able to help you with questions such as the timing of the voyage, the direction of the monsoon currents, and determining the route."

After a pause, old Simon finally said, "And as an old captain who has been adrift at sea for twenty years, the last piece of advice I can give you is that it is better not to be on the same deck as someone you cannot trust. ”

"No wonder it is often said that the experienced elder is an inexhaustible treasure!"

Lin appeased his palms and thanked Simon Sr. together with Andre:

"You know that we know almost nothing about seafaring, and we have no access to trustworthy navigators, so I wonder if you have anything to offer?"

They had already inquired before, four of the five sea ships of Deep Blue Sail had sailed, and the remaining one was undergoing major renovations in the dockyard, and it was not in the harbor of Gypsys City, so they did not ask to rent a sea ship from Simon's family.

Since this has been said earlier, old Simon is of course ready to deal with their candidates, and happily said:

"If the two of you can trust the old man, the old man now has a suitable person to recommend......

Half a magic hour later, Lin An and Andre quietly left Simon's Mansion through the back door.

"Ann, are we really going to find the guy old Simon said he was talking about?" On the rocking carriage, Andrei asked.

"We don't have much time, and in a hurry, it's really hard to find a candidate.

Actually, I didn't have much hope for Old Simon, the circle of navigators is very conservative, and they have a lot of status, and even some of them are nobles, even if there is an old Simon's recommendation, a reputable and experienced navigator will not agree to take us strangers to sea.

If it is forced by violence, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not make a ghost when they get to sea, after all, the sea is the home of navigators - do you think that old Simon's last words are really just advice? ”

Lin An snorted slightly.
