Chapter 128: Cultivation of Magical Power
Although Rowan and Barry reported some other matters in the territory next, Alan basically didn't listen to it, and he didn't even bother to mention the mercenary problem he encountered before, and he only had one thing in mind now - Ball was kidnapped!
The murderer is still his cousin!
The kidnapping of the goblin Bauer alone is troublesome enough, because Alan is now almost "unable to open the pot", and he is still eagerly waiting for his order, and now he has been kidnapped?
If something bad happens to the big goblin, won't he be in trouble?
What's even more complicated is that it was his relatives who kidnapped him.....
What's more, Alan had just brought in the relative's father and wanted him to help him in the bay, and now it turned out to be something like this..... Is this kidding me?
What does that make other people think? What does Fisher himself think?
"In short, everything is pretty much going well now, except for the kidnapping of the goblins. β
Rowan finished his report and made a summary at the end.
Alan nodded absentmindedly and said, "So the most important thing for us now is to deal with the goblin matter." β
"What to do with it? The Golden Sea pirates that Lord Keith has united are not in the bay, or even within the confines of Reef City, and are too far away for us to reach at all. β
"Maybe we can put a bounty on it. β
Even Alan himself doesn't feel very reliable when it comes to saying this, if you want to talk about money, the goblin family will only be richer than Allen, and the bounty will not be his turn at all.
And compared to the hordes of pirates who don't know the depths, what are the mercenaries of Bay City?
The overall number is quite a lot, but they are scattered and unsystematic, and they can't be twisted into a rope at all.
Thinking about it, Alan suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but ask Rowan: "What about the goblin who came to report?"
"Already left the day before yesterday"
"Why did he come to us to report? Whose order is this? The goblin is there? He has been kidnapped, and he still has the time and mood to tell his men to come down to the bay to tell him?"
Alan spotted the question involved: "And not only that, if the goblins are kidnapped, why would there be any fish that slipped through the net? β
Rowan had a reluctantly plausible answer to this: "He said that His Excellency Keith deliberately let them go, not only us, but also the goblin family of the Free Federation who were put back." β
Hearing this, Alan was a little speechless.
"Is he insane? What's the benefit?"
"Of course, it is a ransom, and it is estimated that His Excellency Keith is not satisfied with the gold coins that Bauer brought. β
Rowan seemed to believe this statement, but Alan shook his head instead: "I don't think he can ask for any ransom from me, to tell you the truth, this matter is too troublesome, the sea of gold is so big, we can't reach into it at all, and if it really doesn't work, we can also find other people to cooperate, although it is not authentic, and it is also very troublesome, but this is obviously much easier than mixing and entering." β
Rowan nodded: "I also think this matter is very strange, first of all, His Excellency Keith doesn't look like such an irrational person, or a bold person, no one thought that he would do such a thing. β
"Secondly, it is unlikely that His Excellency Bauer will transport a large amount of gold coins without the slightest defense, and even because of the status of the goblins in the Free Federation, their guards are estimated to be very strong, how did the pirates manage to kidnap them?"
"Finally, why did Lord Keith let the goblins tell us about this?"
Alan shook his head and said: "There are too many doubts about this matter, and we have obtained too little information, the rescue conditions are not established, and it is useless to think too much, so." β
Patting him on the shoulder, Alan said without changing his face: "So think about the backup plan, the goblins can't be contacted for the time being, and the gnomes of the stars can try it first." β
Rowan was a little confused: "Then, you just give up on Mr. Ball?"
In this regard, Alan shrugged his shoulders and looked helpless: "If I have the ability to help him, I think I will be happy." β
This is the truth, although Bauer is not his friend, but the communication between the two is still very harmonious, if he can help, Alan will definitely be happy to help, but the golden sea is too big, not to mention anything else, they can't even figure out where Bauer is at the moment, how to help?
And even if they knew, send someone to the rescue?
Those small boats are still good at fishing in the offshore waters, and if they want to sail long distances, unless they are brave enough not to be afraid of death, ordinary people really don't dare to take them into the deep sea...
In the past, pirates occupied shipyards only to repair ships, their ships were not made by shipyards, and if you wanted to build a ship that could sail the deep sea, you had to go to the shipyards in Reef City.
However, the shipyards in Reef City are basically under the control of Tyrann, but Alan has "fallen out" with him before.
That's why Allen thinks it's a bit of a mess.
However, the two can't be said to have a complete falling out, and certain things still have to be followed, such as the fact that Eren will go to Samuel in the near future. For example, if his life was in danger, Reef City would not be indifferent at all.
But the extra assistance is not to think of it, if Alan can still shamelessly go to the reef to ask for help after Lord Earl sends a notification, then Lord Tylen will probably tell Eren why the flowers are so red without hesitation.
So after thinking about this matter, Alan simply asked Rowan to prepare to contact other businessmen, not because he didn't want to save it, but he couldn't do anything about it.
β......β
Seeing off Rowan and Barry, Alan came to his study with mixed feelings, slumped in his chair and began to ponder.
The main problem is that the "solution" has been thought of, but what about the secondary ones?
"Lao Tzu was just invited by me to help, but my son suddenly came out and jumped blindly, this TM!"
Alen, who was quite annoyed, burst into a foul language, a little unsure of what to say to Fisher.
A moment ago, he was talking nonsense to people about how good the bay is and how it has potential, but as soon as he arrived, his son became a kidnapper, the enemy of the bay....
After thinking about it for a while, he finally chose to leave this question behind, he felt that if he didn't say this to Fisher first, it would be useless to say it anyway, and it would only make him more troublesome.
After making a decision, Alan had time to take care of his personal affairs, and his eyes couldn't help but look somewhere on the desk.
There, the silver grass grew very luxuriantly, and the breeze blew down the half-open window to the desk, and the leaves of the grass rippled slightly in the wind, like a clump of reed flowers, which seemed to be full of life.
"I haven't cultivated for a long time. β
Sighing, he pulled the pot of moonlight grass closer to the very edge. He looked at the strange colorful light that flickered faintly on it, smiled slightly, and then pointed his finger at the branches and leaves.
A picture came to mindβthe seeds fell off, were picked up by the flower farmers, bought back to the castle by the servants, then instilled with magic by Allen, thrived under the care of the servants, and finally took shape, and then waited for many days and nights before being placed on a leaf with a finger.
The picture ends in a trance, and a strange power emerges from it, nourishing and nourishing the original magic in Alan's mind.
The magic that glowed with colorful light shook for a moment, and then, under Allen's perception, he began to "grow" new magic, and a feeling of comfort came from the depths of his mind.
The process is amazing, words can't fully express it, and Alan felt it deeply for a while before sighing in dismay.
The successive rushes delayed him a lot of things, and magic cultivation was one of them, and it was still a very important one.
"Unfortunately, nothing is perfect in the world. β
Shaking his head, he looked at his left wrist.
Before I knew it, the six-pointed star on my left wrist had been charged again, and it was not simply white, but blue!
