Chapter 132: Night on Elba Island
So be it, there's nothing to say, old Adam hid outside the hotel and watched carefully, but he didn't expect that not long after, the two of them both walked out of the hotel, it seemed that they were going to visit the city of Rome, and old Adam immediately followed, and deliberately exposed himself, so that the two people noticed themselves, and then there was a scene where he and the young man sat face to face and talked.
What he didn't expect was that these two people had a low status of men, and the status of women was much higher than that of men, maybe this man was the guardian knight of this baron, and it was really unambiguous for this guard to steal himself, as for the female heir, the rank would not be high, if the rank was high enough, with the performance of these two young chicks, it would have been taken out a long time ago.
No matter what, it's all the kind of fat and oily, do a vote, let alone don't have to come out to work for half a year, but this man is a knight, so it should be a little bit of combat power, which is a little tricky, but fortunately, he has a lot of manpower.
"The baths aren't fun! I've heard the little sisters here say that they're full of fat-brained shameless guys, and they know that it's boring to show off their homes and possessions like peacocks! Old Adam, let's talk about the exciting places!" Vivien heard about the bathing beaches and immediately vetoed the bill of lading.
"If you want to say exciting and fun, there is indeed a place here, which is more dangerous......" Old Adam deliberately sold a pass.
"Speak, speak! ”
"Elba Island!" Old Adam paused, and without waiting for Vivien to urge, he said: "This Earl Island produces a kind of magic stone, called the Ethereal Stone, this kind of stone is not found in other places on the mainland, and other countries especially need this kind of stone, our empire just uses this to blackmail other countries, in exchange for some things that our country needs......"
"Don't talk about this political thing, it's annoying to listen to it every day, talk about something interesting!" Vivien interrupted Old Adam, urging Old Adam to get to the point quickly.
"Well, this natural ethereal stone has a property that it glows beautifully in the moonlight, so if you go to the beach on Elba Island on a full moon night, you will see the glow on Elba, which is very beautiful. Old Adam said that he was thirsty, took a sip of beer, and when he was drinking, he peeked at Yu Wuming and the two, with his experience, ordinary people will have great interest at this time.
"Isn't this ethereal stone buried in the soil?" Yu Wuming and the two of them really became interested, but the question asked by Yu Wuming was not prepared by Old Adam, he really didn't expect Yu Wuming to ask directly from the tourism question to the geological question.
"Of course not, this ethereal stone is a kind of reef that only exists on Elba Island, and the coast of Elba Island is everywhere, and these ethereal stones also have a characteristic, but they are cut into small pieces, and the glowing property is gone, so before the ability to make space items has not been shown, it is not useful except for being used as a tourist landscape.
Ever since it was discovered that it could be used as a space item, there has been an army stationed in the area to prevent anyone from mining it without permission. Because the Empire does not allow the export of Ethereal Stones, other countries can only smuggle them secretly through mercenaries. ”
"Mr. Adam!" Yu Wuming took advantage of the gap between old Adam's words and asked directly: "You said that there are troops stationed there, and there are a large number of mercenaries, and you also recommend us to go there to play!
"Hahaha!" Old Adam looked at Yu Wusheng's angry expression, and suddenly laughed: "If it was half a year ago, I really wouldn't dare to recommend this tourist attraction, but now...... Mr. ......"
Old Adam suddenly stopped, slapped his forehead violently, and said, "Sir, I'm really sorry that I haven't asked for your name?" Madam, look at me, I'm really confused, I only care about recommending scenic spots, and I don't ask you who your name is!
"Susan, I'm sorry, Mr. Adam, my surname is inconvenient to say, you just need to know that I am David's wife. Vivien leaned her body completely on Yu Wusheng's body, looking shy.
David Kerberfed. Yu Wuming said directly, his body was straight, and a pair of eyes looked directly at Old Adam, and he did not let go because of Old Adam's errand.
"Mr. Kerberfy, Mrs., don't mean ......"
"Mr. Adam, please don't get off the hook!" Yu Wuming stared at old Adam directly.
"Okay, okay, let's move on. In the past, although there was a garrison on Elba Island, the management of mercenaries was not strict, and the two also knew that the mercenaries were brave and ruthless, and they wanted to go to the island to steal the ethereal stone, which must pass through the beach on the opposite side of the island, but the location where we watched the ethereal stone glow was also just on the beach where the mercenaries smuggled in, and after a long time, the mercenaries and tourists would inevitably have conflicts, and although the army was not strictly managed, it would also come from time to time to catch the mercenaries, and it was inevitable that the tourists would be caught as mercenaries, and there would be fewer tourists who came to sightsee.
However, half a year ago, the military blocked this sea and cracked down on the mercenary theft, and few mercenaries have come here in the past few months, and now is the best time to watch the scenery!"
"Aren't there still people from the military who are investigating? won't they arrest me as a mercenary?" asked Yu Wuming.
"No! About a month ago, the navy had quietly left this coast, don't spread the word, we here in Rome know it. Old Adam leaned over and said to Yu Wuming in a low voice.
Yu Wuming and Vivian glanced at each other, this information came too easily, although they would definitely have to investigate it again afterwards, but now that they heard it, they were still happy.
However, the two of them didn't show any expression on their faces, and Yu Wuxing frowned and said, "Can you guarantee it?"
"Yes, of course!"
"Well, we've just arrived in Rome today and need a break, so we'll go tomorrow night. Yu Wuming said.
"But tonight is the full moon......" Old Adam didn't seem to want to dream a lot at night, and was anxious to win the deal.
"The moon will not be full overnight, and tomorrow it will be just as round in the sky! I'm right!" Yu Wufang's face fell, and he stared at Old Adam viciously again.
"Sir, what you said is very right, then we will go tomorrow night, I wonder which hotel Mr. and Mrs. will stay in?"
"My wife and I will be waiting for you at the door of the hotel at six o'clock tomorrow evening, don't tell me you don't know! As soon as we leave the hotel, you will already follow us! Okay, now my wife and I are going for a walk, this is the deposit for tomorrow night!" Yu Wuming did not ask the old Adam how much the tour guide fee was, of course, he did not say which hotel it was, he believed that when they walked out of the hotel tomorrow evening, the old Adam would definitely appear in front of them, as for the deposit, ten silver coins.
Old Adam hurriedly collected ten silver coins, turned his head to find the two, the two had already left the bar, disappeared, old Adam chased out of the bar, the street was still sunny, but there was still no two figures, old Adam scratched his scalp, and said to himself: "How can you run so fast? It doesn't make sense! Could it be that they are pretending to be pigs and eating tigers!" After speaking, he touched his pocket again, and the ten silver coins were lying in his pocket.
He looked around a few more times, until he was unmistakably sure that the two seemingly rich masters were really gone, and then he chose a direction and disappeared into a corner of the distant street, and as he turned the corner, he said unobtrusively to a thug who was leaning against the wall and doing nothing at the corner, "Pass the word, there is work to be done tomorrow!" The thug nodded, and immediately left the corner.
When Old Adam walked around the corner, the door of the bar opened again, and Yu Wuming and Vivian walked out, they stood at the door of the bar, adjusted to the light, and looked around at the same time, but did not see Old Adam, and then walked towards the coast.
"Something is wrong with this old Adam. Vivien said affirmatively to Yu Wusheng.
"Of course, nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief, this old boy, I guess he is a thief!" Yu Wusheng walked slowly, he enjoyed the feeling of Vivian holding his arm, especially the two softness on Vivian's chest, which made him inevitably give birth to a physiological reaction, originally he wanted to wait for it to subside, and then speed up, but there is always a gap between reality and ideals, so that he can only walk slowly, but he didn't expect that if he walked slowly, Vivian hugged him more tightly, if it weren't for the wide clothes of the Middle Ages, he would have been exposed.
Fortunately, the rickshaw on the side of the road saved him, he made a move, the rickshaw had stopped beside the two, ten minutes later, the two had appeared on the seaside, the military port was on the edge of the city, the warships finally attracted Vivian's attention, Yu Wusheng's left arm finally left Vivian's chest, and finally let Yu Wuming calm down.
"There aren't a few real battleships. Yu Wuming leaned on the railing of the shore trail and said to Vivian, who was still looking at it seriously.
"I know, I'm counting how many are true. Vivien didn't look back, and the more she looked, the tighter her brow became.
"It seems that the warships here have gone to the north, otherwise, the blockade here will not weaken. Yu Wuming looked into the distance, where two warships were slowly approaching.
In the military port, the two battleships loosened their cables, hoisted their sails, and sailed away from the dock, while on the other side of the trestle, the two battleships began to prepare for sailing.
Yu Wuming and Vivian walked back and forth on the seaside promenade outside the military port for a day. In the military port, of course, it is impossible for them to enter, but on this side of the trail, no one will take care of it, and there are quite a lot of couples here, just enough to cover for them, at most, some people will think that this pair is a little neurotic, and they will walk around here for a day.
The two of them ate lunch on this beach, of course, they naturally ate the sea by the sea, Yu Wuming bought a lot of seafood, and spread a white cloth on the beach that had been prepared a long time ago, and the two of them had a good meal of fresh seafood by the sea, which was really different from the seafood in the inland.
At the beginning of the night, the two returned to the hotel, had dinner, and recorded in detail the situation in the military port they saw during the day, there were only about ten warships in this Roman port, and there were no real big ships, they were all some patrol ships, about two ships would return to the military port in about two hours, naturally there would be two ships leaving the port, and two more were on standby in the port, if the two of them estimated well, there should be four more on the sea.
The next day, during the day, the two went to the bathing beach, which was indeed a place of relaxation for the nobles, and the commoners did not even want to enter it, and far away around the baths, armed patrols were already blocking the commoners, and if they did not have the badge of nobility on them, they would not have wanted to enter at all.
But the scene on the beach disappointed the two, there was no one on the beach, and several staff members were idle, and they saw the arrival of the two, and the staff members hurriedly stood up.
"Why are there so few people here?" Vivien said as she held on to her big visor and asked one of the staff members who hurriedly stood up.
The staff member glanced at the unsmiling Yu Wusheng behind Vivian, and hurriedly said: "Hello madam, it's not the right time for you to come, the peak season on our side has come, if you come a month earlier, there are a lot of people here, especially many officers in the barracks over there are willing to come here, but unfortunately, they went on a mission a month ago." ”
