Lu Cheng took the video that could be named 'Far Southern Empire's Declaration of Bestial Authority' and returned directly to Scarley.
Count Lionheart has found a place to hide in Black Sword City, waiting for the arrival of the guardians sent by the Emperor, as for those assassins who have targeted Count Lionheart, they have been secretly killed by the 'mysterious master' beside him.
The role played by Road City has become a dispensable figure, and there is an important thing to do in Scalare Road City today, and that is that the emigrant ships from the Far Southern Empire have arrived at the ferry port of Scalley.
There were 3,000 immigrants in the ship, and there was definitely no way to maintain order with Scalley's enforcers alone, so some soldiers were sent to the camp to help maintain order at the Scarley crossing.
Lu Cheng was also on the scene, and met the slightly bloated old captain.
"Your Excellency! You're really here! ”
When Captain Sina stood beside the side of the Laughter and saw Lu Cheng, he was so excited that he seemed to jump off the side of the ship.
The Laughter was more than five meters above the ground, making the fat captain struggle to squeeze through the crowd of refugees who had disembarked the ship.
"Your Excellency..."
He trotted all the way to Lucheng, trying to maintain the grace and bearing of a Far South merchant, but after nearly half a month on a merchant ship full of refugees, Captain Sinna's hair had become a paradise for lice and other creatures.
"Let's talk about it in another place." Lu Cheng glanced at the refugees in the distance who were disembarking from the Laughter and Goddess.
Their first reaction when they arrive in a new city is to shiver from the cold, and emotions such as uneasiness and fear are the most common.
Lu Cheng had a lot to ask the captain, and Captain Sina took a guard with Lu Cheng and walked quickly towards the tent set up by the ferry.
"It's great that you're here, I haven't seen anyone on Scarley all the way, it's still so cold."
Captain Sina chattered after Lu Cheng, and after he entered the port where Xiu Enzhe came, he clearly felt the temperature drop, and the further he walked along the Green Leaf River, the lower the temperature became.
He had taken precautions to keep warm, so this little bit of low temperature was nothing to Captain Sina, and what he was really worried about was not being able to find Lucheng.
Captain Sina passed by the city of Huiri in Scarre, and wanted to supply some supplies there, but the city had long since turned into a pile of ruins, and he didn't even see a figure, and he vaguely heard the roar of some monster in Huiri City, so he hurriedly asked the sailors to leave the city quickly.
"Scarray has just suffered from the Blood Crystal Beast Plague, and it will take a long time to recover, so it's normal for it to be so desolate."
Lu Cheng took a cup of hot water and handed it to the captain, Captain Xina hurriedly took the hot water handed over by Lu Cheng, he did not rush to drink it, but held it in his hand to keep warm.
In the past few days, one or two people have frozen to death on the Laughter, and the captain has also developed a lot of frostbite on his hands.
"Your Excellency, you're not a Scarley, are you?"
Captain Sina looked the various items in the tent up and down, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the light bulb lit in the tent, which had been staring at the light bulb for too long and his eyes were a little uncomfortable.
"Is it related to each other?"
Lu Cheng pointed to a seat in the tent, and Captain Sina sat down to catch his breath.
"No... Relationship, of course it doesn't matter, Your Excellency. ”
Captain Sina could guess with his heels that Roadtown had nothing to do with Scalley, who had fallen into a ghost town, and that they were just here.
It's just that where they came from, Elder Sina didn't dare to ask more...
"All the lighters I gave you were sold?"
Lu Cheng looked at the captain, like a kindergarten child going to the hospital for the first time, looking left and right to be alert if a nurse would prick him with a needle.
"It's all sold."
Captain Sina's gaze was fixed on the soldiers standing behind Lu Cheng from time to time, and it was not for nothing that he would be so afraid.
The image of the Laughter going up to Lu Cheng and piercing the pirate's head with a pistol is still etched in his memory, and the soldier behind Lu Cheng is holding the same weapon.
Judging from the fact that there were special soldiers to protect him, Captain Sina deduced that Lucheng was not an ordinary civilian or merchant, but someone with a big status.
Thinking of this, Captain Sina motioned for the guards behind him to put a small bag on the table, and he untied the rope on the bag and poured out the contents.
It was a lot of crystal clear gems and gold coins.
"Your Excellency, look at this," said Captain Sina and did not continue, this is a communication method he has learned from his frequent dealings with the top leaders of the Far South, that is, to take out the money first, and then see what the other party wants to exchange for this money.
Therefore, Lucheng can completely say that this money is the principal of selling the lighter, or he can collect it privately.
"You keep these glass beads for yourself." Lu Cheng looked at Captain Xinna's frowning appearance, and rubbed his forehead a little helplessly.
"Glass... Glass? Your Excellency, these gems are all of the finest from the Duchy of Leslota, and you can exchange a lot of money for your country when you take them to our country. Captain Sina said.
"You keep it for yourself and exchange it for money, and then buy a bigger boat."
Lu Cheng took the "Encyclopedia of the Industrial Age" and began to flip through it, picking out some goods that could be sold in the Far Southern Empire.
"I keep it for myself? So, sir, do you really only want those refugees? ”
"You just need to transport as many refugees here as possible, whether it's slaves or civilians who want to leave the Far South Empire, as long as they aren't dangerous murderers."
Lu Cheng also wanted to entrust the captain to see if he could toss one or two fragments of the leyline core, but this thing is a controlled item in all countries, and only the royal family is eligible to own the fragments of the leyline core.
Someone of Captain Sinna's class who holds a fragment of the leyline's core will be killed.
"I see, there are three thousand and one hundred refugees on board the Laughter and the Goddess, most of them are residents of the Grey Feather Kingdom, and a small number of them are some of the slaves I have found."
Captain Sina was actually quite humble when he said this, those refugees could not be regarded as his 'belongings' in the strict sense of the word, and Captain Sina provided them with a ticket to cross the ocean at most.
So he was afraid that Lu Cheng would use this reason to lower his pay.
"How much cargo can your ship cargo?" Lu Cheng put down the encyclopedia of the industrial age in his hand and asked.
"What did you say?"
Captain Sina suspected that he had misheard the question Lu Cheng asked.
"What is the capacity of your ship, how much cargo can it hold, I want you to sell a lot of goods here." Lu Cheng said. Dimensional Expedition
