Half an hour later, in Zhang Cheng's bedroom, Delhi was standing respectfully in place, waiting for his master's orders.

In fact, when he accepted this job, he never imagined that he would one day be able to become such a high position as the chief manager, let alone that the young man in front of him would be able to climb from a little-known small aristocrat in such a short time to a big man who can attract the attention of countless people with every move.

The most important thing is that with the orders issued by the Iron Throne and the merciless purge, Zhang Cheng has cleared out almost all the stubborn forces in the territory, as long as nothing else, after two or three generations, he will take root in this land and slowly become a prominent noble family.

If he didn't make a big mistake, he could also use the important position of castle steward to build his own family.

Don't think that this is a servant with no status, on the contrary, usually only those who are trusted by the lord are qualified to become governors.

Especially in a city like Bright Water City, which is not only a castle, but also has a large number of residential areas, workshops, and markets outside, there are only a handful of people in the entire continent of Westeros, and the tax revenue from trade alone is a large amount of money every day.

Delhi had only been in charge for less than two months, and he had already secretly saved more than a hundred gold dragons.

Of course, this is not to say that he was corrupt or enriched, but that in order to avoid trouble, businessmen in the past took the initiative to pay additional "protection fees".

In order to protect himself from being overtaken by other competitors, he worked diligently during this time, getting up every day before the sun rose, and sleeping late at night, forcibly restoring the trade affected by the previous war to a more prosperous degree than before.

"Delhi, how long have you been with me?" Zhang Cheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked without a head.

"In a little while, it will be half a year, my lord. Derry hurriedly bent down and replied.

"Hehe, has it been half a year? Time flies so fast!" Zhang Cheng sighed with a chuckle. "Tell me, can I trust you?"

Derry nodded without hesitation: "Yes, my lord, I can dedicate my life to you as long as you need." ”

"Very good! I have a list in hand, and you can prepare it for me. Remember, keep it as secret as possible, I don't want too many people to know, understand?"

Derry didn't dare to slack off, took it and quickly glanced at it, a surprised expression appeared on his face, and then replied with a serious expression: "Please rest assured! I can prepare these things in a week at most, and I promise that no one will find out." But let me take the liberty of asking, are you planning to go on an adventure?"

"Yes, I intend to leave the territory for a while, when the internal affairs are completely left to you, you can understand it as a test of your loyalty and ability, as long as you can meet my expectations, I will also give you a piece of land, so that you can become a veritable nobleman. Okay, let's get busy, and by the way, inform Blanco to come and see me. Zhang Cheng waved his hand and did not reveal too many details about the expedition.

To be precise, he didn't trust everyone, including Delhi, at all.

What's more, that meteorite is so important that even the closest people, he will not easily reveal half a point.

After just seven or eight minutes, the old mercenary came to the room, touched his chest with one hand and bowed: "My lord, are you looking for me?"

"Well, I need you to recommend for me an experienced team leader who can quickly handle all kinds of emergencies. Zhang Cheng gave the request bluntly.

"Well, let me ask, what do you mean by the emergency?" Blanco asked cautiously.

Zhang Cheng curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and explained in a half-joking tone: "It is a talent who can deal with it calmly no matter if he encounters a dragon, a sea monster, or something abnormal." ”

Hearing this, the expression on Blanco's face twitched obviously, and then he began to look down and think, and after a full minute, he said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid the person you want is not easy to find, I need a little time." ”

"Yes! I'll give you a week. Zhang Cheng also knew that there would definitely not be many talents like this, so he gave a buffer period.

"I'll do my best...... Blanco sighed helplessly, turning to leave the room.

Maybe outsiders don't know what kind of person his allegiance is, but he knows very well that whether it is the mysterious magical power or the dragon raised in the cave in the back mountain, it is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, so the example just given is not just a joke, it is not true.

Fortunately, this time he didn't have to follow himself, he just needed to find an unlucky guy to replace him.

After all, since he became a nobleman, his mentality is not as cheap as before, and his first reaction when encountering danger is not to rush forward, but to hide as far as he can.

Zhang Cheng undoubtedly noticed the change in the old mercenary, so he didn't plan to take him with him at all.

In this way, as the days passed, on the seventh day, a large warship capable of carrying a large number of supplies and personnel slowly sailed out of the dock from the harbor and headed for the distant summer sea.

Not only was there plenty of food and drink, but there were also fifty well-trained sailors and a hundred well-armed soldiers.

All kinds of bed crossbows, stone throwers, and crossbow arrows are also available, and a huge dragon is constantly circling in the sky.

This kind of formation, let alone exploring the ruins, is not a problem even if it is to attack a city.

In order to be able to obtain the mysterious meteorite, Zhang Cheng can be said to have made sufficient preparations, and even did not hesitate to use the last bottle of well water full of arcane energy in his waist bag when necessary.

Of course, the crew and soldiers did not know the true purpose of the trip, nor did they know what they were going to face.

Except for Zhang Cheng herself, only little Celine knew a little bit about the entire ship, but she was too young to understand the meaning of the existence of this meteorite, and what a huge disaster it might cause once it was obtained.

The girl was now immersed in joy, running from bow to stern, climbing onto the mast and raising her binoculars to look into the distance, and occasionally picking up a fishing rod and sitting in a place where no one was there and trying to fish.

For her, these days away from Dragonstone Island have been the best times of her life.

No constraints!

There are no eyes full of disgust!

No one asks her to abide by all kinds of etiquette and etiquette like a lady!

In addition to playing every day, she also wanders around, especially the lively market in Liangshui City, as well as goods from all over the world, which makes her feel a different world, a colorful world, rather than the small and oppressive world in the castle......
