Chapter 273: I can't afford to hide
"Impossible, absolutely impossible."
Kulia shook her head like a rattle.
"There is no such place at all, if you want to say that it is a manor, it is almost the same, but with such a large area of land, it is impossible for the Holy Sect Country to be sold to private individuals!"
"Isn't there any such thing as a no-man's land?"
"The land of the Holy Religion Country is nominally owned by the Holy Religion Country, and such a large area of land ......... Mr. Ezio, even if you apply to the Temple, you will never be able to get it. The rest ......... It's just some off-limits. That kind of place is not only dangerous, but also restricts human access and habitation. ”
"Is it really impossible at all?"
Hearing Kulia's answer, Fang Zheng was also speechless and depressed for a while. If you think about it carefully, the political pattern of this continent has matured for hundreds of years, and the territory that everyone should have carved up has long been divided, how can there be any rest left for yourself? As for ——— forbidden area, Fang Zheng suddenly recalled the dark swamp he had fought before, that ghost place, but he didn't want to find money for Fang Zheng.
But at this moment, Nanali timidly raised her hand and proposed.
"In that case, why don't we buy an island?"
"The island?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng immediately became interested, and Nanali also began to compare excitedly.
"Well, don't you know, Mr. Ezio? If you have the money, you can buy an island in the Endless Sea. When I was very young, I always wanted to be able to buy an island on the endless sea, and then I could watch the sunset on the beach every day, how beautiful! It's just that I don't have that much money......... Ah, but now that I have the money, I should be able to buy it! ”
"That's all a lie!"
However, as a childhood sweetheart, Kulia did not hesitate to shatter Nanali's fantasy with her left hand.
"Now those islands in the Endless Sea, the habitable ones have long been bought, and the rest are some small islands that cannot be inhabited! It's useless to waste money on this kind of island! There's no fresh water on it, and it's dangerous in case of a storm, and there's pirates........."
"Woo..............."
The illusion was shattered, and Nanali visibly pursed her lips with a disgruntled expression. But when Fang Zheng heard the news, his face suddenly changed.
"Wait, you said the Endless Sea......... Is that the Endless Sea? ”
Of course, Fang Zheng knew that the Endless Sea, this world was roughly divided into three continents, the largest of which was the land occupied by the Sacred Sect Country and the Demon Wizard Country, while the other two continents were the territory of the Fire Country and the Wealth Country respectively. If you want to use a simple pattern to make a comparison, then the positions of these three continents are connected by lines, which is basically an inverted triangle, and the sea area in the middle of this triangle is the endless sea.
This is an infinite vast sea, the people of this world do not seem to have the understanding that they live on a circular planet, for them, the Endless Sea is a sea with no end in sight, once in that high-spirited Age of Discovery, there were countless adventurers set sail, vowing to conquer this sea, but most of them disappeared into the Endless Sea, never to be heard from again.
Fang Zheng has no interest in the Great Voyage Adventure, but he is interested in owning a piece of his own territory. In fact, Nanali's idea really made Fang Zheng feel very satisfied, the reason why he was unwilling to stay in one place for a long time was because he had the "Dimensional Code" system, and he had to go far away at every turn. If you have a fixed station, then it is easy to be targeted by the enemy.
But now, if there is a natural barrier such as the sea, then naturally there is no need to worry about some young people coming to the door, as for other problems......... For Founder, it's not a problem.
"Are there any restrictions on buying these islands?"
"There's no limit to that, as long as you have enough money.........
"Very well, so decided."
Hearing Kulia's answer, Fang Zheng nodded.
"I'll go and look at the islands, and you guys get ready, and when I'm done with this, I'll get out of here as soon as I'm done."
"Huh? Want to get out of here? ”
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Nanali couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, while Kulia frowned, wanting to say something, but didn't say anything.
"That's right, to be on the safe side, I want you to leave with me."
Fang Zheng nodded, and then he looked at Nanali.
"I've looked at the memories of the man before, he was indeed Van Riel's envoy, although this time I was scared off. But the other party is obviously menacing and ill-intentioned. Presumably they will come back, and things will get even more troublesome by then. So we simply get away from here and find a place to live our quiet life. And......... It's too dangerous here. ”
"This ......... Of course I have no problem! ”
I don't know if I still remember my childhood dream of buying an island to watch the sunrise and sunset, but Nanali quickly gave the answer. Instead, Kulia showed a thoughtful expression, and then looked at Fang Zheng uneasily.
"Mister Ezio, will they really come back?"
"They won't give up so easily, and if they come forward with official power, we'll be wrong in whatever we do, so the best thing to do is to stay away. If my guess is correct, it must be the technology related to fertilizers and greenhouses that caught Van Riel's attention, which is why they came to trouble Nanali. Although it is not yet certain whether this is the meaning of Van Riel or the idea of a certain family, since the other party has planned to go through official channels, it means that they must be determined to win. ”
Fang Zheng didn't know much about the Flame Country, in fact, the entire Holy Sect Country knew very little about this big country on the other side of the ocean, and the only few stereotypes were that the people of the Flame Country were aggressive, rude, and quite domineering as a powerful country, often using various excuses to bully those small countries. It can be said that the country's reputation among the people is not very good.
And judging from this impression, it is not surprising that the other party sent his own soldiers to arrest people at will within the territory of the Holy Religion and even planned to bite back.
"Okay........."
Kulia was obviously aware of the reputation of the Flame Nation as well, so although she was a little reluctant, she had to admit that it was indeed the best way to go.
At the same time, in the city of Keha, inside the Van Riel Embassy, there was a different scene.
"You're not done, Ludon."
An old man with a white beard raised his hands behind his back and stared coldly at Ludon in front of him. Facing the old man in front of him, Ludon spread his hands helplessly.
"I'm sorry, sir, but I've done my best."
"Do your best? I don't think that word can be used to describe your behavior. ”
Hearing Luden's answer, the old man raised his eyebrows.
"I gave you a whole team of Van Riel's elite guards, and you couldn't even handle a few little girls?"
"Speaking of which, the information you gave me is itself problematic!"
It's okay not to talk about this, but when it comes to it, Ludon is angry.
"The owner of that alchemy workshop is not that little girl, but a man! What's even worse is that he is also accompanied by a legendary powerhouse! I almost won't be able to come back today, you know?! I really doubt that you deliberately sent me to die! ”
"Please calm down, Ambassador Ruden."
Hearing Luden's complaint, a strange look appeared on the old man's face.
"There is a legendary powerhouse on the other side? Are you sure? ”
"Of course!"
At this time, Ludon was also out of the question, although he was nominally the official ambassador of Van Riel, but he knew very well that his identity was insignificant in front of an existence as powerful and powerful as the old man, who held countless wealth, and if he couldn't give a satisfactory answer, maybe he wouldn't be able to sit in the position of ambassador for long.
"It was a little girl, who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in a white robe, and holding a long golden triangular tin staff in her hand........."
"Wait........."
The more the old man listened to Luden's description, the more strange the look on his face became.
"The legendary powerhouse you are talking about......... Is it a little girl of thirteen or fourteen? Are you sure? ”
"Of course I'm sure!"
Faced with the old man's inquiry, Luden snorted lightly.
"The other party has opened the legendary realm! In the realm, it was as if I and my subordinates had been petrified, unable to move at all......... No, I should say that in that field, I don't even feel anything but my own head! If it weren't for the fact that my identity still had some effect, then I'd probably have become a corpse by now! ”
Thinking of this, Ludon touched his neck with trepidation, obviously, he still remembered the fear of being dominated by the ban at that time.
“……… A little girl of thirteen or fourteen? A legendary powerhouse? ”
At this moment, the old man also frowned, and began to think secretly in his heart. In the main world, the legendary powerhouse has always been in the spotlight, in order to avoid the occurrence of such a bridge as "bumping into a strong man who pretends to be a pig and eating a tiger and is forced to kill by the other party", all the big family consortia and forces in the main world with some background will collect the information of those legendary powerhouses and those close to the legend level powerhouse to avoid conflicts with them. A little girl of thirteen or fourteen, a legendary powerhouse? With such obvious information, it makes no sense that they would miss it, etc............
"You said the girl was dressed in a white robe? Still holding a golden tin staff? ”
"That's right."
Hearing the old man's inquiry, Ludon also nodded.
"Now that I think about it, the girl was dressed like the priests of the temple......... Could it be that behind that alchemy workshop is the temple? ”
"It's a possibility."
The old man tapped his finger lightly, and his face darkened. They thought it would be a very easy thing to do, but if the temple was involved, it would be a different story.
"Send someone to the temple to inquire immediately, if it is really the temple to make a move, then our plan will have to be changed separately."
