James looked at the ugly, frightened businessmen in front of him, and his gaze swept over their faces before landing on two of them.

He walked over and looked at them, then leaned over them and sniffed them, and though they were as smelly as himself, James frowned in disgust.

However, his purpose was clearly not for the two dirty-looking merchants, but for the jewelry they were wearing.

During these two years, James traveled to many places, some of which were not only remote but even mysterious.

James saw from the two merchants that they were both wearing a kind of jewelry set with a rainbow of blue and green gemstones, although one of them was a chest and the other was a large ring, but James thought he was not wrong.

It's not for nothing that there are people in this world who can wear tourmaline gemstone jewelry of such color, but it's rare to see such a huge body with such a pure color, and it's two people, as for this place is a merchant exchange in Seville, James doesn't know such a thing as probability, but he knows that such a coincidence is not.

"You two are from the New Colony," James said, looking at the two uneasy looking merchants, "Oh, if I'm not mistaken, this should be your first business, or you wouldn't have put these gems on yourself, and trust me to sell them quickly, because soon this thing may not be worth that much, and you will lose money then." ”

James's words made the two merchants look at each other, they did not know what this man knew about their origins, they swore that this was the first time they had seen this terrible robber, and they thought it even more incredible that this tourmaline gem, which they regarded as treasures and was intended to be used as family heirlooms, would be worthless.

Unlike other gemstones that are pure in color, tourmaline gemstones are prized for their unusual rainbow-like luster, which is one of the biggest takeaways from their journey to the new colony.

Therefore, what James said that if he didn't sell it, he might lose money, naturally couldn't convince them, so the two businessmen scoffed at his words from the bottom of their hearts.

None of that was the most important thing, the point was that James was dangling the sharp tip of his knife in front of their eyes as he said that, which was enough to strengthen his persuasiveness.

So the two merchants immediately nodded their heads as if they were listening to the teachings.

James fanned his nose with some disgust, and he could smell from them a familiar salty smell that anyone who had been at sea for a long time would have.

Two merchants from the new colony, or at least sailors from there.

Maybe it was just two small people, but it was enough, and according to Alexander's orders, James knew that the purpose of his trip was only to make these people remember him.

"Alright, let me explain my purpose," James shook the musket in his hand at the men, and when he saw their fearful expressions, he pouted again, "Don't worry, things are not as bad as you think, and of course not a good thing, anyway, I want you to remember me as a person." ”

Looking at this fierce robber, the merchants were a little stunned for a while because they didn't know what he was going to do.

When Carolet received the news that there had been robbers in the city of Seville and sent his army to the merchants' exchange, James had already run away with his men.

Looking at the exchange guys who had fallen to the ground and were already out of breath, and the corpses of the merchants who had been carried in through the windows, the city guards of Seville couldn't help but burst into a rage.

They immediately ordered the gates to be closed, and ordered the whole city to be searched for the daring robbers, but they were apparently cunning men, and after they had sacked every merchant's pocket and taken away sacks of various commercial contracts that were of little use to them, they had vanished, and even the most capable natives in the city could not find their whereabouts.

"Someone is colluding with them, I'm sure it was planned by Don Bavi," Carolet scolded a few of his helpless-looking men standing in front of him, "Look what you've done to let a bunch of robbers run rampant through my city, for whom the city is like an undefended sieve, is there anything more embarrassing than this?" ”

"My lord, these people are stealing the contract from the exchange," said one of the officials, embarrassed, "We don't know what they want them for, but they are obviously familiar with Seville." ”

"Of course, otherwise they wouldn't have fled from under your noses," Carolet said angrily, seeing that his subordinates were full of shame, Carolet took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead a little helplessly, "I believe this must be Don Bavi's trick, although I don't know what the purpose is, but I know that this is his provocation to me, and it will never be tolerated." ”

The Archon walked back and forth angrily as he spoke, he didn't really know if the robbers were really Don Bavi's men, but he had a feeling that all this was being manipulated by Don Bavi.

An official suddenly said, "My lord, that robber, it sounds like the one who wounded the two of us." ”

"Oh, is that so?" Carolet's spirits instantly lifted: "I knew that there was a collusion between that Duke of Rometesia and Don Bavi, and that the messenger from the Vatican was his accomplice. ”

"But my lord, that doesn't prove that the robbers are the duke's men," the official reminded, reminding Carolet, "and that he is the Pope's emissary." ”

The consul frowned instantly, he knew that this was indeed true, the identity of the emissary of Pope Alexander VI could not be ignored, and there were rumors that this person had a very special relationship with the Pope's family.

Even the queen will be cautious when facing this person.

"My lord, perhaps we should let the army of Castle Philip enter Seville," said one of his men, hesitatingly, "and if the robbers were to attack the Archon's residence, it might be dangerous." ”

"Do you think Don Bavi would dare to do that," asked Carolet angrily, "or do you think any robber would dare to attack the seat of the Archon whom Her Majesty has commanded?" ”

"If they really were robbers, maybe they wouldn't care about that," one official whispered, "at least for them, no one knows who they are." ”

The official's words made Carolet fall into deep thought, he knew that this man was right, and there was really no need to have too many scruples for a person who was a robber, and even he himself had thought about causing the Duke of Rometesia to suffer an unfortunate robbery.

It's just that he really can't understand why those people are robbing the merchant exchange.

After all, the exchange was not a place for trading goods, although it had a lot of business, and there were not even as many gold coins as those contracts, and these things were no different from scrap paper to a gang of robbers.

While Carolet pondered the inexplicable actions of the robbers, James was thinking the same thing.

Leading a group of sailors carrying several large boxes out of the exchange, James and his group soon disappeared into the depths of the cluttered alley.

James was not very familiar with Seville, but he had a reliable place to stay, where he and his men could avoid being searched by Carolé's men.

It is a house that is not in the middle of nowhere, with the back door next to a small pier on the Polaschwa River that runs through the city of Seville, from which it takes you to board the boat and take a short time to enter the main river, and the front door on a very busy street.

The house was bought by Christopher Columbus, his brother Christopher, in Seville after his first expedition to open up a new colony.

The house is large, the three-story building is made of dark red granite, and the interior of the house is also the same color tone, and the large dark gold drapery sets off the extraordinary magnificence of the house.

James walked on the floor covered with Dutch wool carpet, and even through his thick boots, he could feel the soft touch of the wool carpet, and the feeling of sinking into it with every step made James twist his heel, and a dirty black mark appeared on the carpet.

"Got everything?" Schell stepped out from behind a row of strange-looking stone statues that he had cleverly ducked behind when he heard someone enter.

"I've brought them all, but what does the Duke want these contracts for?" James was a little curious, he knew that Alexander had great ambitions for the new colony, but these contracts didn't seem to help him get what he wanted, "Okay, you take these away, I can ask my brother's servants to help you, after all, this pile of things is not light." ”

James waved his hand to the servant standing nearby, he didn't know why Alexander was interested in these things, but considering that the Duke had never done a thankless thing before, James preferred to believe that maybe the Duke had some good idea.

Columbus's house and his reputation saved James a lot of trouble, and when Schell left with a few servants, they were confronted by an oncoming group of soldiers as soon as they went out, but after seeing them coming out of the famous Columbus house, the soldiers were not even interested in looking at them more, and hurried past them to search for places they thought suspicious.

When Scheer returned to his lodgings with a mess of IOUs, deeds, and other things such as transaction vouchers, he happened to see Carolai's men leave, and watched the menacing officials walk away with the soldiers, and Schell quietly entered the house with the servants who were watching the boxes.

Alexander had obviously been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Schelle, he immediately rushed up to urge the servants to put the boxes on the ground.

"Sir, I don't know what you want these things for, but you know that my duty is to keep you safe, and you promised the Duchess that you would never take any risks, so Madame agreed to let you go on this long trip, but isn't it just a risk for you to let people rob that exchange, I think I have to report these things to the Governor, otherwise who knows how the Moorish man will speak ill of me in front of the husband."

Schell was a little uneasy to watch Alexander excitedly rummage through the "waste paper" that was piled up on the floor, speaking of which, the duke did not seem to have done anything too out of the ordinary during this time, but the Balkans, who had been following Alexander for a short time, did not dare to slack off at all, because he vaguely felt that the duke would be so "honest" during this time, just to prepare for something more surprising in the future.

"Shh~"

Alexander raised his fingers and made a silent gesture, at this time he needed silence instead of chatter, looking at the mess of documents on the floor, some of which looked brand new, and some of which were already brittle and yellow, he quickly searched for them, and after a while he suddenly let out a cheer of "ha".

"Look, Shel, this is 1490 is 11 years ago, the total number of raw hemp in the whole Seville dock in a year is 740,000 standing sticks, of which about 500,000 are imported from Africa, accounting for nearly eighty and a half, but in 1500 last year, the number of raw hemp entering the customs reached 1.17 million standing sticks, but the number of imports from Africa is only 250,000, just a little more than a pitiful 2 percent, it's interesting, isn't it?"

"Oh, that's incredible."

"yes, it's amazing, do you still think I'm taking a risk to mess around after reading this?" Alexander glanced at Schell a little provocatively, looking at what the Balkans seemed to be about to say, but he didn't know where to start, Alexander stretched out his hand and put his hand on Schell's shoulders and stepped on various documents all over the ground and walked slowly in the house, "Listen to Schell, this is not a trivial matter, think about how terrible such a large amount of raw hemp is in, but the Castilians have reduced the amount of imports from Africa, although this is related to the war between the king and his wife and the Moors, But have you ever wondered where the amount of growth that doesn't come from?

"You mean the new colony?" Obviously, Schell, who had heard about it for so long and knew a little bit about the new colony, immediately blurted out.

"You're so smart Schelle, I even think it's a pity that you're only a squire, you can imagine that 1 cane is worth about 4 silver supes in Africa, but 11 or even 15 silver supes that can be sold in the interior of Europe, and it is said that the new colonies are cheaper, so how much is 1.17 million scepters?" Seeing that Schell seemed to be frightened by the unimaginably huge number for a moment, Alexander immediately turned around and walked back with his shoulders around him, "If you think about it again, what it would be like if such a large fortune was in our hands, you must know that these contracts contain various records of the merchants who have brought back raw hemp from the new colonies over the years, and I want James to get these things for this, and I assure you that raw hemp is only one of these huge riches." ”

Schell was really frightened, and he looked at Alexander with awe, and the Balkans, who had no idea about this business of millions of people every minute, were completely impressed by the ambition of the old man.

"Sir, you are remarkable," Sher said nervously, carefully removing his foot from the "waste paper" on the ground that was more valuable than gold, "what do you want me to do?" ”

"Of course there is something for you to do, and now that Carol has his eye on me, but he probably hasn't noticed you yet, so I want you to send a letter to the Duke of Don Bavi in Philip's Castle," Alexander said, shoving the secret letter that had been prepared into the pockets of the Balkans, "tell him that everything will go according to our plan, all right, now take it easy and don't let the watchers see that you are nervous, open the door and go out, keep walking forward, don't look either way, go." ”

Listening to the duke's hypnotic voice, Schell obediently opened the door and walked out of the house, but when he stood alone at the door, listening to the sound of the door closing behind him, Schell couldn't help but be stunned, and then felt as if he had been fooled.
