Chapter 466: The Future Direction of Atlanta City
If you want a horse to run, you have to let the horse graze.
In order to get Joyce to be serious, Ari agreed to some of his requests, and Joyce returned to the dinner party with excitement.
Ari really didn't like this kind of occasion, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the nobles' disguises were too hypocritical, so he drank all the wine in his glass, and then left the banquet hall unobtrusively.
Although Joyce was socializing, she had been keeping an eye on the corner, and when she saw Ari leaving, she didn't say much, turned her head and continued to laugh with others.
The imperial capital of the Xingluo Empire is very prosperous, and the night of the imperial capital is also very lively, with mansions and castles intertwined, and there are also night markets on the civilian streets for tourists to play.
Walking on the deserted streets of the aristocratic quarter, Ari casually glanced at a street behind him, and in the shadow of the corner, there was a dark shadow that seemed to be nothing.
In the night, Ari stepped out, and when the figure reappeared, it was already dozens of steps away, and it was only a few steps before disappearing into the street.
As a pinnacle magister, Eri's power has begun to involve the level of rules, this is not space magic, but his understanding of earth magic has reached a level that ordinary magicians can't imagine.
For example, shrinking the land into inches is just the simplest way to apply the soil rules.
Seeing Ari's figure disappear, the dark shadow in the dark immediately felt bad and immediately chased it out, but where was Eri's shadow.
Flicking off his tail, Ari regained his normal speed.
The Star Luo Empire is the first-tier empire on the mainland, and although the civilian area is not as good as Atlanta City, it is still much better than the Chaman Empire, even if the Chaman Empire is now growing at a speed that other empires can't imagine with the help of Atlantan City.
Walking on the street, the roadside shops are brightly lit, the nearby bubble tea shops are lined up in long lines, and the taverns in the distance are full of people, and the residents of the Xingluo Empire enjoy the beautiful and pleasant nightlife.
Suddenly, Ari saw a somewhat familiar figure walk out of the casino and into the tavern opposite.
The thin, rickety body, Ari recognized at a glance, it was not Karsha.
It's just that he's not supposed to be drawing nautical charts now?
Ari frowned, although it was not that Karsha had to spend all his time on the charts, but two days was already a very rushed time, how could he still have time to come out to gamble and drink, so Ari followed into the tavern without hesitation.
It's a pretty good tavern, tastefully decorated, with a faint smell of bloody Henry in the air, and it's clear that the sign here is for cocktails from Atlanta.
As soon as he entered the tavern, Ari heard Karsha shouting loudly.
Ari followed the sound and saw Karsha sitting on the stool with a proud face, slapping the table with his hand vigorously, and shouting at a strong man in the middle of the bar: "Cripple, give me bloody Henry, don't let me find out that you mixed a little water, or don't blame me for smashing your shop." ”
The strong man was obviously the manager of this shop, and he didn't care if he was called lame, but he was a little surprised by Carlsha's bloody Henry, grinned at Karsha, limped over, looked at Karsha and laughed and said: "It seems that he has made a fortune, the original bloody Henry is not cheap, and he won't be able to take out gold coins when the time comes, but don't blame me for being rude to you, until now, no one has drunk and paid the bill to my lame man." ”
When the people around heard the movement, some people immediately laughed and joked: "Karsha, don't bury yourself in the cripple for a cup of bloody Henry, it's not worth it." ”
Karsha's face was red, and he slapped the money bag on his waist directly on the table, and after a violent sound of gold coins colliding, the mouth of the bag spread out, revealing more than a dozen gold coins.
The people around him suddenly breathed rapidly, and their eyes were slightly red when they looked at the gold coins, and the lame man glanced at it, unceremoniously put away a bag of gold coins, and after weighing it, he looked at Karsha and said temptingly: "Fifteen gold coins, you can drink half a cup of Bloody Henry, but you are sure you don't want me to help you process it, although the taste is not so pure, but at least it is enough for you to drink for five or six days." ”
Karsha watched a bag of gold coins being taken away by the lame man, and there was a look of reluctance on his face, although the money came easily, part of it was a reward, and part of it was a huge amount of money that he had never had before.
Just thinking of the wonderful taste of the legendary Bloody Henry, coupled with the staring eyes of the people around him, Carl Sha immediately gritted his teeth and said: "It's going to be Bloody Henry, and labor and management will not be bad for money in the future!"
"Domineering, wait, the purest bloody Henry, no other store can get such good goods!" The lame man grinned, and after pocketing a bag of gold coins, he took out a bottle of wine that was only the size of an ordinary wine glass from the most conspicuous place on the shelf behind him, and the bright red liquor in the transparent container tumbled.
Amid the saliva swallowing voices of everyone around him, the lame man pushed Bloody Henry in front of Karsha, and said with a smile: "It's yours, enjoy it." ”
Karsha looked at the tumbling liquor in the container, his eyes full of greed, and after carefully unsealing it, the tangy aroma made him fall into the intoxication of satisfaction.
Ari watched quietly from a distance, he was still curious at first, how could there be a pure bloody Henry in the tavern of the Star Luo Empire, it was in Atlanta City, and only a limited number of people could enjoy it, which was even rarer than the legendary special offering, fifteen gold coins, don't even want to smell it.
However, after seeing the liquor, Ari suddenly realized, it turned out to be a cocktail that sold for five gold coins in Atlanta City, the full name is Bloody Henry's Summer Rose, and the content of Bloody Henry in the wine is only five percent.
However, considering the long distance, the impact of the war, and perhaps the additional costs of high tariffs, fifteen gold coins a cup is not too expensive.
On the other side, Karsha deliberately raised the wine glass high, and only took a sip carefully after a long time, with an underbeaten expression, if it weren't for the lame shop not daring to cause trouble, someone would have been unable to help but punch him, and then snatch the wine glass and enjoy it himself.
Half a day later, someone approached and asked tentatively: "Karsha, where did you get rich, and you will bring your brothers to get rich together?" ”
Karsha glanced at him and said with a look of disdain: "You think anyone can make this money?"
The others hurriedly said: "Let's talk about whether you make money or not, you tell us first, you just saw the baby, or did you meet the nobleman." ”
"Yes, even if there is no money to be made, let's have a good time. Someone chimed in.
Karsha was very satisfied with everyone's attitude: "Although I was rewarded with seven or eight gold coins just by saying a few words, but you think that anyone can earn this money, I dare to pack a ticket, in the entire imperial capital, only I, Karsha, can earn this money!"
"You can earn so many gold coins in a few words?" the crowd exclaimed again.
"Listen carefully, Karsha, we invite you to drink. "People gathered around.
"Do you want you to invite me to drink? I'm drinking Bloody Henry right now, can you drink it?" said Karsha with a proud face.
"Bloody Henry, who can afford to drink it, it's all wine that only the great nobles can enjoy. "The people were amazed again,
Hearing this, Karsha's face turned pale, and the people around him hurriedly took the opportunity to ask, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Karsha was defenseless, and even boasted and said: "Things are not complicated, I met a little nobleman, it seems that he wants to go to sea, let me draw a sea chart for him, you say, in terms of understanding of the sea, who in the imperial capital can compare with me Karsha." ”
Hearing Karsha say this, some people in the crowd were suddenly unconvinced: "We all know that you Karsha used to be a sailor, but that was more than ten years ago, and what you know is probably outdated!"
When Karsha heard this, he immediately said proudly: "What about the obsolescence, the little nobleman may know, not to mention do you know where he wants to go? It's the Storm Strait! It's a place of death, and even if I knew, for his safety, I wouldn't be able to tell him his real address." ”
"And you're going to do that?" the people guessed what Carlsha thought.
Karsha smiled: "I'm going to draw a random route to the sea for him, when he can't find it, he will naturally come back, he enjoys the excitement and saves his life, I make money, it's a win-win." ”
When Ari heard this, he didn't listen any longer, and got up and left the tavern.
He Eri's money is not so easy to get, since he doesn't want to draw, let's go with it, living people are much more useful than maps.
Back at the castle, Joffrey and the others were gathered in the hall, gathered around a table, and from time to time there were unassailable shouts of excitement from which thousands of arrows were fired.
Ari smiled and didn't lean over, but went upstairs back to his room.
Pushing open the door, there was already a thick pile on the desk.
Sitting at the table, Ari began to flip through the information, some of which was the situation in Atlanta City and the progress of the Curse God, and the other part was the information of the Star Luo Empire collected by the people of the Supervision Department.
Among them, there was as little news as ever about the temple, and apart from obtaining some information about the bishops, there was little else to gain.
However, the information on the royal side is more sufficient.
The old emperor was old enough to listen to the teachings of the gods up close, but even so, he still had no plans to succeed to the throne, and he had not even decided on the successor of the empire.
Ari can also understand that almost all the emperors he knows can only ascend the throne after his son dies, and there are not too many things about brothers against each other, and in the royal family, the innate family affection of human beings is suppressed to the smallest position.
In the battle of the Xingluo Empire, the eldest prince occupies more advantages, judging from the data, the eldest prince has done almost nothing over the years, but because of this, he has not made any mistakes, as if the meaning of his existence is to be a bystander.
The Seven Princes, on the other hand, were much more active, not only single-handedly pushing forward the start of the war, but even convincing the Divine Temple to turn a blind eye to the Xingluo Empire's plundering of the Chaman Empire's resources.
One of the two seeks stability and the other is aggressive, which is very much in line with their position.
The eldest prince doesn't need to do anything, do less and make fewer mistakes, he just needs to wait for the passage of time, wait for the death of his old father, and then he can rightfully ascend the throne.
As for the Seventh Prince, he wants to mix the water, so that he has a chance. The decision made by the two of them was almost the most suitable route for their respective countries, and judging from their performance, any one of them ascended to the throne would be a good thing for the Star Luo Empire.
However, it is also mentioned in the information that the personal relationship between the Seven Princes and the Holy Maiden Merlin is very good, and Ari has met Merlin, this is not a simple woman, what she does must have a purpose, maybe she represents the support of the temple.
It's just that Ari is a little puzzled, the temple has always rarely interfered with the inheritance of the royal family, let alone against the emperor.
But judging from the current situation, the temple seems to have the meaning of favoritism, and the eldest prince, who is the most justifiable and obedient to inherit the throne, has not received any help from them, but the seventh prince, who seems to have the meaning of using the strength of the temple.
Could it be that the Seven Princes gave the temple some promises?
Ai Rui thought about it for a while, but still had no clue, there was still too little information, and there was no way to analyze anything useful.
One night and things, the next day Ai Rui took everyone out shopping as usual, there was no news from the Seven Princes, and Ai Rui could only continue to wait.
Before the Seventh Prince sent the information, Karsha went to the castle and handed over a chart to Ari, who threw it to Joffrey and the others without even looking at it, and then gave Kalsha a dozen gold coins, and he was almost unable to close his mouth.
When Karsha's back disappeared outside the door, Joffrey walked up to Eri with the chart and said with a serious face: "Boss, there is something wrong with this chart, and many of them are not right, especially the affairs of the Phantom Cloud Empire, even the port of going to sea is wrong, starting from that port, we can only go around the Mediterranean Sea of the Phantom Cloud Empire, and it is impossible to find the Storm Canyon." ”
Ari said indifferently, "It's okay, I already knew that what he gave was fake." ”
Joffrey's face was shocked: "I know it's fake, boss, you still give him money, boss, when did you change sex, this is not your style." ”
Ari glanced at him, "Then what style do you say I am?" ”
Joffrey paused, then immediately smirked and said, "Boss, you heard me wrong, I didn't say anything just now." ”
Ari glanced at the direction in which Karsha had disappeared, and said lightly: "I have already arranged for someone to follow him, and when the Punishment God sets sail, there will be a ticket for him." ”
"Then these dozen gold coins are the money to buy lives. Joffrey was amazed at what he heard, and then looked in the direction of Carlsha with a sigh on his face, and said, "It is said that the ultimate dream of every sailor is to find his final home on the sea, and I hope he will not be too excited when he learns the news."
