Chapter 141: Employed in Danger
The direction of the first stone pillar area is still in dire straits, and the water castle located in the fifth stone pillar area is as quiet as yesterday.
Lying on the pine bed in his bedroom, Extraordinary was playing with the "hourglass of time" he had received from the old nun named Jenny in the convent.
The small black hourglass, if you don't use mental power to control the crystal sand inside, is no different from the ordinary hourglass sold in the grocery store.
The crystal couch made a "rustling" sound, and extraordinary thoughts also floated with the hourglass to think of the voice and appearance of her mother Jacqueline.
When Percy mentioned the Golden Isle, he also asked if he was interested, and the answer was obvious.
After more than three years of development, although it is distributed all over the mainland, as long as it is a city at the level of the main city, almost all of them are in the contact points established by the Extraordinary Chamber of Commerce.
The intelligence network of the Berman Chamber of Commerce, as well as the highly paid investigation missions issued by the mercenary union, did not have any news of the parents.
The old Jones of the sea thief knew, and even the old nun in the convent who didn't care about the world knew.
Sometimes extraordinary wonders if it's not the parents who purposefully avoid themselves.
Extraordinary has his own guesses, and the results of his guesses are related to his parents' background.
His own grandparents and maternal grandparents, he never knew they were still alive.
My parents are also very secretive, and I only vaguely remember that when I asked about my grandparents when I was a child, my parents were secretly sad for several days.
He hasn't asked these questions since.
But the engram he got from the basement brought back his childhood memories.
He had no way of knowing whether the baby lying next to him was a man or a woman, whether it was his brother or sister.
However, the engram has only unlocked a small piece of information, and as long as you reach the royal city of Canstra, there will always be a high-level magic sealer who can help you solve your doubts.
Having made up his mind, Extraordinary decided to break Percy's desire to find the Golden Isle tomorrow morning and go to Canstra with him.
Nothing to say all night!
The next morning, before it was breakfast time, Extraordinary welcomed an unexpected guest.
Lisa, dressed in an ocean blue dress, sat in the guest seat in the living room of the water castle.
Curvy blonde hair casually draped over her shoulders, not knowing what she was thinking, and the heat was not visible from the coffee in her hand.
Unlike the Sissel sisters' exaggerated eyes, Lisa's eyes look big and small on a closer look, but they are not obvious.
"Have you seen enough?"
Standing at the door of the living room, Extraordinary did not enter directly, but stood at the door and quietly looked at Lisa.
Extraordinary has a straight face, without the statue of Brother Pig in the past, he is thinking about the purpose of Lisa's visit.
You must know that the current Grand Duke's Mansion does not talk about a pot of porridge, but there will be no shortage of things.
As Grand Duke Vasari's first henchman, Lisa should be at the Duke's Castle.
"Hahaha, Lisa, why are you here?
Lisa placed her coffee cup on the table and sighed.
"Hey, if it weren't for the timely arrival of Earl Mitchell with the Sea Dragon Knights, I really don't know how long the riots in the city would have lasted!"
The Sea Dragon Knights are just a symbol, and Extraordinary knows that if it weren't for the arrival of reinforcements from the surrounding garrison islands, with less than half of the Sea Dragon Knights, they wouldn't be able to turn over a flower in St. Trite.
With a population of nearly 5 million, it would not be too much to say that this city is the largest city in the entire brave world.
"The Air Guards off the coast of St. Trite have almost all returned! Now they are cooperating with the City Guards on the ground to pursue the thugs of the Mutual Aid Society!"
Listening to Lisa's detailed description of the current situation in Freeport, Extraordinary learned that none of the high-level leaders of the Mutual Aid Association were caught, but a lot of rioting freedmen were caught.
"The whereabouts of Walker, the president of the Mutual Aid Society, are unknown, and almost all of the Brotherhood is missing in Freeport!"
Looking at Lisa's calm face, the extraordinary words came to her mouth but swallowed.
The rebellion planned by the Brotherhood will not be anticlimactic, and in York City, who would have thought that just one unpopular force would almost break through the Grand Duke's Mansion!
If it weren't for the defensive magic array, coupled with the intervention of the major forces in the city, the York family, which might have been inherited for hundreds of years, would have disappeared.
However, St. Trite is not the town of York, and the Grand Duke of Vasari is not the Grand Duke of York.
As a city-state principality, St. Trite crushed York City in every way.
For example, the magic crystal spaceship, as far as the extraordinary knows, only the Grand Duke of York has one as a means of transportation when going to the royal capital, even if it is a steam spaceship, there are few in Yorktown.
After arriving at Santerit, the extraordinary eyes were opened.
The conflict erupted in a small volcanic island spar mine, and the forces before and after the various forces invested no less than hundreds of magic crystal ships.
What was common on the continent became unusual in St. Trit.
Obviously, many residents in the outer city of York still use wooden bowls and spoons, and light tung oil lamps.
In Freeport, wooden bowls and spoons were only used by slaves.
Even for the poorest families, gas lamp faucets are a must-have household appliance.
Seeing that Extraordinary was silent, Lisa tapped on the table and pulled Extraordinary back from her thoughts.
"I heard that the sole heir of the Berman Chamber of Commerce is in your castle, and Grand Duke Vasari wants to hire you for a business!"
Looking at Lisa's somewhat embarrassed face, he shrugged his shoulders and motioned for her to continue.
"The two Sea Dragon Knights in the depths of the Endless Sea have lost contact, and one Gold-level fleet has lost contact!"
Extraordinary then frowned, and without waiting for Lisa to finish, he interjected and asked, "Grand Duke Vasari won't let me go to them, will he?"
"I didn't let you look for it!" Lisa looked disgusted, "Grand Duke Vasari has a letter of authorization, you just need to send it to the lighthouse outpost and give it to General Wellington!"
"Smack"
Lisa took a piece of parchment from her bosom and slapped it on the long table.
"This is the so-called 'Golden Island Treasure Map' that suddenly appeared in the past few days, I hope you won't think it's real, stupid and deceived!"
"Smack"
Another shot, the same parchment roll, but it looks a little quaint compared to the first one.
"If you accept the mercenary commission, then the map is yours! This is collected by the former Grand Duke of Vasari, and if there is information about the Golden Isle, this map should be the closest!"
Lisa can't explain, the extraordinary gaze has long been attracted.
The parchment was made of almost identical material to Daddy Jones.
If it weren't for Lisa in front of her, Extraordinary would have wanted to take out her own one and compare it with this one.
"I said that the treasure map I got last time always felt like something was missing, and it turned out that a map was divided into several parts!"
However, this is not a simple jigsaw puzzle, and if you get the full treasure map, the whole Golden Isle may be yours.
But there is a legend in the Golden Isle that only one treasure is allowed to be taken by those who accidentally land on the island, and if they are not greedy, they are lost in the endless sea.
"Oh, I'm accepting this hire assignment from Grand Duke Vasari!"
Extraordinary quickly put away the two parchment rolls on the table, afraid that Lisa would suddenly return.
Nodding, Lisa did not stop at the castle on the water, the roar of a steam locomotive sounded outside the door, and by the time Percy came to the castle hall with his eyes rubbed, Lisa had already been gone for a long time.
