Chapter 127: The Stronghold (Part II)

Ten days later, the seven boats that had been repaired moved to Imbu

Even Fang Xin didn't know that on the 200-kilometer ocean route, on the blue sea, two boats were waiting hard.

The sea was very calm, and gradually, the sun set, the moon rose, the hull shook gently in the waves, and there was no sound on the deck, just looking at the girl on the deck.

A teenage girl smoking a cigarette.

Gradually, the fog began to grow on the surface of the sea, and it gradually intensified, and the moisture and smoke intermingled, making a slight sizzling sound.

A middle-aged man walked over and was about to speak, when the girl raised her head.

"Needless to say, I know that water and food are starting to run low, let's go to the Saster Kingdom!" The girl said with a wry smile.

"Miss, aren't we going back once?"

"No, Dad's preparation cannot be said to be insufficient, the two hundred and forty most elite soldiers in the four boats, and they were afraid of too heavy losses, so they asked us to respond, and they didn't want to encounter accidents, and besides, we had many sails, and we chased all the way, and we all went back once, and came out to guard the road again, but we still didn't wait, this time we completely failed." The girl smiled bitterly, glanced at the more than twenty strong men on the boat, and said, "I have tried my best to transfer my father's old subordinates, and even have taken away all the savings and property that can be sold quickly, and I can't take care of the rest." ”

"Yes, Mademoiselle, Lord Kirkby is an old friend of your father's, and will surely be accepted." The middle-aged man nodded and said.

The girl was not so optimistic, but she didn't say anything, just said calmly: "Set sail!" ”

"Yes, miss."

Fang Xin's seven ships entering the port are not particularly unexpected. But half an hour later, the only knights in Bulust were dispatched, and even the navy was all dispatched, blocking the harbor and letting everyone know that something big was wrong.

These, put aside for the time being, and said that Fang Xin was in a small room with Wendila. Sir Fix spoke.

"Oh, dear Hamblin. You should discuss this with me. Sir said worriedly.

Fang Xinluo was moved, no matter what his intentions were, since Sir regarded him as a descendant of water, he had always been good to him, and he whispered: "Sir, you know, Dave. Baron Barnum was attacked, furious, and went ashore. The police have already been reported to the city court. ”

"Oh. Poor baron, how much did his people lose? ”

"Almost all of them have been lost, and together with his steward, there are only four of the fifty men left since the time of the voyage, and only two of them are warriors." Fang Xin said.

"Oh, no wonder the baron is so angry!" Sir understood, and said, "So what's going on?" Let's hear it. ”

Fang Xin then began to speak. Of course, he did not say that he robbed the other party's fleet first, but how to buy and sell. After earning the money, he became a level 1 magician again, and together with the profits and loans, he bought a second ship, ready to return with a full load of goods, and invited Dave when he left the port. Baron Barnum.

"Oh, you're so lucky." Sir said meaningfully, as if looking at a reckless but promising young descendant. He didn't say anything, though. Just asked, "You became a level 1 mage?" ”

"Yes, I've become a level 1 mage in Corin City. As a result, I have a certain obligation to the Magical Guild there. ”

"Tell me about it." Sir didn't care about anything else, but he was very concerned about becoming a magician, and asked again and again, and when Fang Xin answered carefully, he listened very satisfied, and finally said, "My dear Hambling. You surprise me so much, yes, very much, you are truly a genius in magic. ”

After that, he asked about the naval battle again, and when he heard that the other party had brought four boats and two hundred and forty people, he carefully inquired about the situation, and Fang Xin naturally described them one by one, making the battle more tense and intense, and in the end, Fang Xin said: "...... Actually, I was very tired at that time, but all of a sudden, I gained magical powers, and I finally won the victory over the enemy. ”

"Oh, what power?" Sir said with great interest.

"Look!" Fang Xin just thought about it, and the wind rose, originally in this room, it was semi-closed, and it was almost impossible to feel the wind, but now, the wind in the room was automatically generated. Oh my God, you didn't use magic? Sir was a little confused at first, but suddenly he thought of something and hurriedly asked.

"Sir, I don't use magic, and, you see, this is the second one." Fang Xin stretched out his hand, and sure enough, a faint light began to flicker on his hand, and then, from nothing, a small water mass appeared on the palm of his hand.

"God, this is a divine inheritance, and it is two kinds!" Jazz looked at it intently, and his straight eyes made Fang Xin a little uncomfortable.

After a moment, Jazz calmed down: "Oh, dear Hamblin, you really shocked me, oh, these powers, are they of any use? ”

"The wind can make me move faster, and the power of the water seems to have some calming effect, and it can also make me temporarily increase my strength." Fang Xin replied.

"Oh, the instinct to resist the wind and the instinct to resist the water and the earth, it's incredible, no wonder you can quickly become a magician, this is the gift of the great gods!" Jazz calmed down, and said excitedly, as if he remembered something, and smiled: "Okay, you go on." ”

Fang Xin could only continue, and when he was finished, Sir nodded, and said as if there was no doubt at all: "Well, you did a very good job and took four boats?" ”

"Yes, four boats were taken, but one was for Dave. Baron Barnum, and, allow me, to contribute a boat to you as a token of my heart. ”

"Oh, dear Hamblin, it doesn't have to be, do I want your ship? No, these are all badges of your victory, you have to keep them, oh, even the original Wave Breaker, I will give it to you. Sir said, speaking of this, he saw Fang Xin's surprised expression, and also realized that he seemed to be a little too excited, so he said: "Oh, you don't know, your grandfather and my father are brothers, yes, the relationship is very close, and besides, you are a member of the Fix family, what is it to get a boat?" When you officially return to the Fix family, I am sure that the head of the family will delegate you with more responsibilities. ”

Speaking of this, he even glanced at Fang Xin meaningfully, Fang Xin was shocked, only then did he grasp the importance of his identity now, fortunately, he had already created the blood of water and wind, otherwise there would be some problems.

"As for the merchant, you did a good job, and the dead man will reduce a lot of trouble." Sir smiled and said, "What do you want?" I'll fight for you. ”

Fang Xin said cautiously: "My dear sir, I now have five ships, which is enough, no matter how many, I can't find loyal and qualified captains and sailors for a while, as for the other shares and shops of the Chamber of Commerce, this is not what I am good at, if I can, I think, get those estatesβ€”what do you think?" ”

"Real estate? Oh, I understand, I understand. ”

In fact, in this era, due to the prevalence of the Great Voyage, the interests of maritime trade and commerce were far greater than the output of land, so many nobles began to turn from land nobles to commercial aristocrats, and even sold their ancestral territories to engage in maritime trade.

But for ordinary people, it is still a dream to obtain land and become a nobleman, Sir consciously understood Fang Xin's feelings, so he said: "Of course, if you want, I will definitely help you fight for it, but these six small pieces of real estate are only 20,000 gold lake, and I will help you get the rest." ”

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside: "Sir, Mr. Holding of the courtroom has come to ask for an audience." ”

"Ask him to come in." Sir reverted to the arrogance of the aristocracy, saying.

The gentleman who came in, obviously not a nobleman, bowed and took off his hat to Sir and Fang Xin, and then Sir politely invited him to sit down, and said, "Oh, Mr. Holding, why are you here soon, is there something wrong?" ”

"Yes, the court has already handed down a preliminary verdict." Mr. Holding said.

This surprised both Fang Xin and Sir Sir , and Sir said, "Oh, I didn't expect the court's decision to be so fast, it's incredible! ”

"Sir, there's a reason for this, and I got Dave. Baron Barnum complained that of course the court should be summoned immediately, but the herald found that Vincent's daughter had sold a lot of her saleable wealth a few days in advance, and that important people had run away - so naturally there was no need for further interrogation. Mr. Holding said dryly.

"Oh, it's Miss Cameline, it's amazing, ah, how much did she sell? Has the property been sold? ”

"She sold all the goods of value, sold them for seventy percent, and took all the depositsβ€”brought them up from the Chamber of Commerce under the pretext of a big deal, and besides, her family originally owned six boats, three of which were on the route, and she took two of them, and sold them all, but the real estate was not moved, and it was too troublesome to sell." Mr. Holding replied, "According to preliminary statistics, she probably took away seventy thousand gold lakes, a third of all wealth. ”

"Oh, I get it." Sir breathed a sigh of relief, and after knowing the news that the court would officially open tomorrow, he nodded and rewarded Mr. Holding with ten gold coins, and when he withdrew, Sir said with a smile: "Dear Hamblin, don't worry, you will not have less real estate, and besides, you can also get his family's villa in the city worth fifteen thousand gold Lake, as well as a shop worth five thousand gold Lake, and a full five thousand gold coins!" ”

Between words, I am full of confidence.
