Chapter 42: Return to the South Island
Leaving the Governor's Mansion with Xiaobai, Jiang Feng came to the port area.
His professional manager, Du Wei, was at the dock side of the port, taking silver coins from his money bags and handing them out to the porters who helped load and unload the goods. Seeing Jiang Feng wearing a cloak from afar, Du Wei's eyes lit up, and he quickly paid the rest of his salary, and greeted him.
"All the cargo has been loaded onto the ship and is ready to sail."
"You're doing a good job." Jiang Feng nodded, looked at the deck of the galleys, and didn't see Culve's shadow, so he casually asked, "What about Captain Calf?" How I didn't see his people. ”
Upon hearing the news of the tragic death of Baron Fred's family at the hands of Solore's curse, Calf fell into a drunken state early in the morning and lay unconscious on the wooden table in the tavern. It is said that he vomited and was carried to the herb room by his subordinates. It was his first mate who was in charge of the boat," Du Wei replied.
His benefactor actually died under Solore's curse, and the family died cleanly, Calf must have felt very uncomfortable. Jiang Feng thought for a moment and decided to continue the lie.
Although he always put on a stern expression towards Delia, Jiang Feng could see that this sternness was just a reprimand from the elders, and it was also a manifestation of love. If he knew Delia's true identity, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to accept it.
"When did the Vicky family begin to rule the port of Sevet."
"It began a hundred years ago, when the patriarch of the Vicky family was said to have financed the voyage of Captain Agris, and Captain Agris, who had no heirs during his lifetime, so the governorship was canonized by His Majesty the King to the then patriarch of the Vicky family, who contributed second only to Captain Agris, and this tradition continues to this day."
Jiang Feng nodded.
If that's the case, it's a bit intriguing that Captain Agris's burial in Half Moon Valley is intriguing, especially the obvious knife mark on his ribs, which doesn't look like he died in his diary.
In fact, Jiang Feng was a little suspicious of the cause of Captain Agris's death at that time, but he thought that it was more than a hundred years ago anyway, so he didn't care. But now, it seems that the skeleton needs to take time to study.
"Please wait a minute."
Just as Jiang Feng was about to board the ship, a hurried shout came from behind.
Stopping, Jiang Feng turned around, only to see a middle-aged man dressed in aristocratic costumes, accompanied by two entourage, running towards him.
Looking at the middle-aged man who was holding his knees and panting, Jiang Feng had actually guessed that he was from the Governor's Mansion, and even guessed what he was going to say to himself. However, out of gratitude to these aborigines for the convenience they provided to him in the past two days, he still gave the man in front of him a chance to speak.
"You are?"
"Hello Distinguished Wizard, I'm sorry to delay you a little, but allow me to introduce myself, Barton Dorek, knight canonized by His Majesty the King, former treasurer of Port Sevit, and now taking over as Governor-"
"Since you know it's taking up my time, can you please pick and choose the key points?" Jiang Feng said lightly.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Patton said with a smile on his face, "That's it, about the curse of Baron Fred's manor......"
"I'm sorry I can't do anything about it." Interrupting his words, Jiang Feng shook his head and said.
Once the cursed realm called the Blood Sanctuary takes shape, it is an existence comparable to five-star sorcery. The person who placed the curse himself said that even if the official wizard of the academy came here, he might not be able to resolve the curse, let alone he, an imposter wizard.
When he goes back to the shelter and studies the materials in his hand, he may be able to think of some way.
As for now, he doesn't want to give random promises that he can't fulfill.
……
In the forest, a fresh breeze drifted in, accompanied by the sound of a rope, and a half-elf girl with a short bow on her back stepped on the soft earth. The elk, which was leisurely munching on the green vines on the roadside, moved its ears lightly and lifted its bronze antlers.
"Your prophecy is correct, Baron Fred's second daughter is indeed in trouble, even the wizard was almost planted in her hands." Stretching out her hand to remove the branches and leaves that stood in front of her, Leia Winterdew emerged from the forest and walked in front of the elk, "The Sanctuary of Blood has been built, and the Baron's family, including the servants in the manor, has not been spared. ”
"Really?" The elk shook its antlers and sighed softly, "It seems that the port of Sevit is hopeless." ”
The blood-colored red mist will devour all living beings within its envelope, and any animal or plant under its shroud will be drained of life force and revived in another form, allegiance to the all-devouring chaos.
"Why help that wizard? Didn't Master Krees say that he was a problem for us? Leia Winterro asked.
"If he embraces Chaos, that's the real trouble for us." The elk chewed on the blades of grass on the side of the road and said in that leisurely tone, "Your father is still waiting for you, don't waste time here, go find him." ”
Leia Winterro nodded, and disappeared into the shadows of the jungle.
The elk looked up and looked beyond the treetops of the jungle to the starry sky.
The eyes that reflected the starry sky gradually became dyed with a trace of sentimental sorrow......
……
In the end, the newly appointed Governor tried his best to convince Jiang Feng to stay and help Port Savit resolve the red mist hovering over the Baron's Manor.
Money, Women, Fame...... If you can recruit wizards to work for you with these things alone, then you will look down on the wizard profession too much. But Sir Barton couldn't come up with anything else.
Good things like magic stones are very scarce in the major families of the Rick Kingdom, and he is just a knight who can't even have a hereditary title, so naturally he doesn't have the opportunity to touch that kind of thing.
As for the forced retention......
He also wanted to live a few more days.
Before dusk, Jiang Feng returned to the South Island.
To his surprise, although those Samuns were not very developed in their minds, their understanding was unexpectedly high, and under the leadership of the steel hammer, they had already built a simple dock on the beach according to his request.
Thanks to the dock and Samun's strong physique, all of the ship's cargo was unloaded before it was completely dark.
Jiang Feng and Du Wei simply gave a few orders, and then said goodbye to the first mate on the ship.
Although Calf said that it was a "public" ship anyway and would not accept Jiang Feng's money, Jiang Feng still felt a little unhappy about using the warship in Sevit Harbor for nothing. Besides, he didn't want to owe the port of Sevet a favor, so before he got off the ship, he still instructed Du Wei to stuff a bag of silver coins in his own name to the first mate, and when he returned to the port, he would take the sailors on board to have a good drink......
I just don't know, is this considered a bribe?
Standing on the beach in front of the pier, looking at the wooden boxes piled up on the beach, Jiang Feng couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
With these materials, these Samuns under his command can finally quickly get rid of the life of primitive people within this month. In particular, the dozen or so boxes of iron ore completely solved the problem of insufficient iron ore reserves in the South Island, and the iron-making blast furnace built by Jiang Feng personally also had a place to use.
Instructed Steel Hammer to take Samon to move the wooden box back to the tribe, and Jiang Feng then found Xiaobai.
"I will be in retreat on the mountain for the next few days, and unless there is an emergency, don't come to the mountain to disturb me."
Leaving these words, Jiang Feng turned around and walked towards the mountain.
