Chapter 84: The front line is in an emergency
The next morning, Ira yawned out of her room and headed for the dining room on the first floor of the Doge's Palace. Passing by the corridor, I happened to meet the little girl in the cloak, and seeing that she was half a minute shorter than herself, she didn't need to guess who it was, so the girl raised her hand to say hello.
"Oh, morning."
A pair of big eyes stared at Ira, and her small nose wrinkled under the hood.
"What did you do last night?"
"Didn't do anything," Ira looked at Emily inexplicably, "what's the matter?" β
"Liar! The scoundrel was not in the room last night, but Emily asked the servant at the Doge's Palace, who said that the wizard had gone out with his apprentice after dinner. Emily crossed her hands on her hips and didn't give up, "Tell me honestly, did you find anything interesting and didn't call Emily." β
Speaking of which, I went to the haunted manor with Jiang Feng last night, and I also solved a ghost with ease. However, it was too troublesome to explain specifically, and Yi Ran didn't want to waste a lot of time explaining to this little ghost, especially if she didn't want her to know that she was shamefully scared away by the ghost, so she said impatiently.
"It's just a little thing, it's nothing. It's you, why are you going to find that guy at night, don't you hate him very much? β
"Hmm-"
The bulging little face instantly turned red, and Emily held her mouth as if she was accumulating, and she was stumbling for a long time.
Just as Yi Ran didn't want to admit that she was scared away by something like a ghost, Emily also didn't want to admit that because she couldn't figure out that difficult question, she slipped out of her sister's room under the pretext of going to the bathroom, and slipped around the corner to Jiang Feng's room.
Suddenly, a brilliant excuse popped up in her little head.
"Humph!" With a small body erected, a nose and a high mouth, and a hood that hid pointed ears, Emily said triumphantly, "I, I'm his fiancΓ©e, of course I'm looking for him because of adults!" Hey, children won't understand. β
"Oh roar?" Ira, who folded her arms, glanced at Emily with disdain, "My lord? Tell me, what is the reason for the adult? β
"Hmm!"
Stopped asking......
A triumphant expression froze on her face, and Emily looked to the side in embarrassment.
After a long pause, she whispered.
"That...... Peek-a-boo together? β
For reasons of uncertainty, the words spoken involuntarily become interrogative sentences.
"Poof!"
I really didn't hold back, Yiran covered her stomach, and tears of laughter came out.
"Hahahaha!"
Emily, who was being ridiculed, blushed and stamped her foot angrily, waving her little hand twice before finally pointing at Ira's nose.
"Anyway, you must have something to hide from me...... You, you little wild cat who steals! β
ββ¦β¦ Hahaha, huh-" One hand was on the side of the wall, and Yiran, who hadn't laughed enough, gasped while waving his right hand covering his stomach, "You think too much, I'm not interested in him at all, I'm a man-"
"Liar! You don't have a little Tintin! β
The corners of Xiaowan's mouth suddenly twitched, and he stiffened his face.
A black line floated on her forehead, and Yi Ran, who had been poked in the sore spot, had a terrifying expression, staring at Emily with a smile, and her black hair burst out with dangerous sparks.
"You guy...... Early in the morning, are you here to find fault? β
Later, Jiang Feng, who arrived in time, pulled away the two bear children and gave them a burst on the head, which can be regarded as quelling the fight that almost demolished the Governor's Mansion in Port Sevit.
β¦β¦
After urging the two restless imps to have breakfast, Jiang Feng came to the reception room of the Governor's Palace, instructed the servants here to prepare tea, and at the same time sent a servant out to call Du Wei over to the port area.
The cakes made from black tea and rough noodles were quickly served, and sitting on the chair in the reception room, Jiang Feng took out the two stone beads from his belt, and while pinching them in the palm of his hand, he played with them while sorting out the loot that he hadn't had time to finish yesterday.
The witchcraft models stored in these two stone beads had been scanned into the brain database, and the teachings of chaos and some evil sacrificial rituals that offered energy to Solol had been eliminated by Jiang Feng as dross.
It is not an exaggeration to describe last night's harvest as a bumper harvest.
Chaos spells and curse techniques below three stars, as well as some inherent curses and chaos realms including the "Blood Temple", Jiang Feng has almost all of Solore's research achievements in the primary spell field.
Although his mana and mental power may not be up to the standard of releasing three-star spells, at least in terms of knowledge, he is no longer inferior to any wizard below three stars, after all, this is the research result of gods. Even though his knowledge may be somewhat "biased", and most of the spells he uses are regarded as evil by the world......
At this moment, there was a knock at the door.
Retracting the stone bead into his belt, Jiang Feng dispersed the image presented on the retina and said casually.
"Please come in."
The door was pushed open.
It was not Du Wei who was in Zou Jing's house, but Governor Kafka.
I saw that this Mr. Governor, who had been dressed up quite formally early in the morning, had just entered the door and bent down to Jiang Feng at ninety degrees exaggeratedly, and made a standard noble salute of the court of the Rick Kingdom, and paid tribute to Jiang Feng with the standard of a duke.
Also out of habit, after Jiang Feng casually said good morning to him, he signaled that he didn't have to be so troublesome and could sit down at will.
Hearing that His Majesty had sent a reply, probably because he could not spare himself to take care of the port of Sevit, he briefly praised Mr. Kafka for his courage in standing up in the face of danger and his devout faith in God the Father, and then appointed him Sir of Port Sevet and the governor of the city.
Although the title of knight is not hereditary, it means that he will be a nobleman from now on, and he can perform aristocratic etiquette, and he does not have to bow down to others when he sees nobles.
It is said that Kafka almost cried tears of joy in the reply, and last night's banquet was mainly to celebrate. However, Jiang Feng did not attend that banquet, and these anecdotes were all heard from the whispered discussions of the servants of the Governor's Mansion after returning from the evening.
"Dear Wizard, on behalf of the Port of Severt and His Majesty the Supreme King, thank you for all that you have done for us, and we intend to erect a marble statue for you in the most beautiful part of the harbor......
"Don't go through that much trouble, if you really want to thank me, build the road from the port of Port Sevit to the plantation for me." Interrupting Kafka's words, Jiang Feng said casually.
There was a subtle embarrassment in Kafka's expression.
Obviously, the cost of building a road is much more expensive than building a statue.
The journey from the port area to the plantation is not short, not to mention crossing most of the suburbs of Port Sevit, and the dirt road in the middle is extremely difficult to walk, and the cost of stone bricks and lime is probably not a small amount.
However, these words have already been spoken, and if he refuses, he will inevitably seem a little too stingy. And the friendship of wizards is not something that can be measured by worldly interests......
"Yes......" Kafka nodded reluctantly, comforting himself in his heart, anyway, he used the money of the port of Severt, not his own. It's just that in this way, the finances for the second half of the year may have to be carefully calculated.
After a few conversations, Kafka, who was not speculative, took his leave.
It just so happened that he hadn't been gone long before Du Wei knocked on the door and walked in.
Jiang Feng signaled that he didn't have to be restrained, and after sitting down casually, he talked about the business he was going to explain to him.
"The curse of the manor has been lifted completely, and the restoration work can begin. In addition to the special movement of the collection, the main building wing needs to be completely renovated. Manpower can be hired from the refugees from Bainville, and there won't be so many people needed to farm the land anyway. β
"Also, help me keep an eye out for ships for sale in other ports? As long as the main body of the ship is intact and the size is not less than the brig, whether it can go to sea normally or not, you can buy it for me directly without asking me. β
"Yes, my lord." Du Wei nodded respectfully.
For these businessmen who traveled from south to north, there were more or less accumulated contacts in those large ports. Especially for a person like Du Wei who traveled with the caravan in his early years, it was not difficult for him to write a letter and send it to ask his friends over there to help him keep an eye on whether there were any ships for sale.
After briefly asking about the situation of the refugees settled in the plantation, Jiang Feng gave Du Wei a few words about the seeds before ending the conversation.
Because they happened to be on the same road, the two got into the carriage to the port area together.
The early morning of the port of Sevit is like a sleepy-eyed girl, and the early morning mist casts a thin veil over the two-story brick and wooden houses. The street shops have just opened, and the vendors selling breakfast are boiling the soup that has not been out of the pot for a long time, and the women with baskets are walking through the vendors of the market.
"That's it."
After getting off the bus on the front street side of the port area, Jiang Feng said goodbye to Du Wei and walked towards the dock, when he happened to meet a group of people gathered in front of the notice on the dock. Walking through the crowd, Jiang Feng saw that Connie, the sheriff of Port Sevet, was standing in the center of the crowd with two soldiers and a servant from the Governor's Palace.
Out of curiosity, Jiang Feng stepped forward and asked Connie.
"What's going on here?"
"When the war at the front is urgent, Your Majesty has sent a letter urging Governor Kafka to immediately mobilize the conscripts of Port Sevit and join him under the banner of His Majesty the King," replied Coney in a solemn tone, "Port Sevit is your Majesty's domain, and as Your Majesty's people, it is our duty to take up the sword and fight for him." β
The indomitable momentum seems to be planning to cross the ocean with a galleys. Although he didn't know if Captain Calf would accompany him to do such a messy thing, Jiang Feng could probably imagine that the one-deck galleys were overturned by a huge wave above the deep sea......
Has the fighting worsened to the point where one side has begun to rush to the doctor?
Jiang Feng didn't believe that the king of the Rick Kingdom would not know that the coastal waters of his kingdom had been blocked by the rebel pirate ships. What's more, Port Savit is only a colony of more than 3,000 people, how many conscripts can be mobilized?
However, unlike Captain Agris, he is not interested in the wars and historical grievances of these aborigines.
If there is anything that he cares a little about, it may be that the aboriginal named Seres Gondal seems to be the nobles of the Rick Kingdom.
It's just that I don't know which side this descendant of the human emperor is on.
"I can give you a ride." Jiang Feng said.
"Thank you very much." Connie said solemnly.
"You're welcome, after all, I've borrowed your boat quite a few times." Jiang Feng said in an easy-going tone.
