"I'm finally back!"

On the deck of a merchant ship that had just docked, a fat blond man clutching to the railing suddenly let out a loud roar, startling the soldiers approaching below the harbor.

Flanked by the fat blonde man was a small, green-skinned strange "man" wearing a cloak and a narrow nose.

He looked up at the fat man with his small dark eyes, and said in a peculiar hoarse voice, "You are excited, Lord Keith. ”

The blonde fat man seemed to be opened into a conversation, and chattered: "You don't know, that damn sea is just annoying to me, it's the same every day, I don't know when it's the end, and that damn free union... Well, I mean, the sea is too big, and I'm not used to it. ”

Keith said that he finally suddenly woke up to who was next to him, and hurriedly stopped what he said, and then changed the subject: "The caviar here is very delicious, Lord Bauer, I'll take you to taste it when you get off the boat, the Free Federation doesn't have that kind of thing." ”

"I'm looking forward to it. The short man nodded slowly, and if it weren't for his strange appearance, his every move would have been like a noble gentleman among humans.

Keith smiled and was about to continue talking, but suddenly there was a warning from under the ship: "The port here has been blocked, and it is not allowed to dock for the time being, no matter who you are, please leave immediately!"

"Blocked?" Keith was stunned, and then relieved: "That's right, the fish-man is coming soon, it's normal for this place to be blocked, Lord Bauer, please wait a moment, I'll negotiate." ”

With that, he opened his legs and walked down the stairs of the boat.

"Stop, unknown people are forbidden to dock!"

Seeing that the merchant ship did not heed the warning and walked down, one of the soldiers drew his weapon and met him.

Keith didn't answer, but hurried down the stairs, then looked at the incoming soldier, ignored the weapon in his hand, and cursed in a low voice: "Bastard, don't you see who I am!?"

"Who are you?" the menacing soldier paused for a moment, then looked at the fat blonde man carefully, and asked suspiciously, "Are you Lord Keith?"

Keith said impatiently: "Nonsense, hurry up and let this person open the port, the ship is an important guest of the lord!"

Seeing that this person was a big man in the city in the past, the soldier did not obey his words as before, but replied hesitantly: "Hmm... Please wait, Lord Keith, I need to tell my superiors!"

With that, without waiting for Keith to respond, he turned around and ran towards the squad of soldiers not far away!

Keith didn't react a little, and waited until the soldiers ran away before he suddenly woke up, and then looked at the soldiers in the distance with a dark face: "Damn ruffian, you really don't understand the rules!"

After waiting for a long time, Keith even saw one of the soldiers leave the group and run into the distance, and just as he became more and more impatient, the departing soldier came to the merchant ship with a bald head in armor.

Keith knew the bald head, one of the people his lord's cousin had brought from Reef City, so despite his impatience, Keith barely pulled out a smile: "Your Excellency Barry, long time no see. ”

"Hello Mr. Keith. Barry nodded in response, then looked at the merchant ships docked at the harbor, "What is this?"

"This is my cousin's guest!" Keith replied cheerfully, but the words cousin and guest bit a little harder.

It's a pity that Barry didn't have so many complicated thoughts, and he didn't hear the faint meaning of Keith's painting, he just nodded, then touched his head and thought about it, and suddenly slapped his head: "Goblin?"

Seeing that he was so sluggish, Keith resisted the urge to roll his eyes and nodded: "Yes"

"Well, Master Allen has already commanded!" replied Barry, then turned to the soldiers and ordered, "Open the harbor and let the merchant ships in!"

"Bell, go and inform your lord that Lord Keith is back with the goblins!"

"Okay!"

The soldiers split into two groups and ran all the way in the direction of the lord's castle, while the others quickly cleared the various obstacles in front of the harbor.

Then, at Keith's invitation, the men in the merchant ship walked down.

Keith said apologetically to the leading goblin: "Because of the fish-man, so the recent comparison here, Lord Bauer, don't mind." ”

The goblin smiled disapprovingly, and said in a strange tone, "There is nothing more wonderful than strict order, I love it here." ”

Goblins generally speak in this tone, and Keith couldn't tell for a moment whether he was genuinely praising or implicitly sarcastic, but it didn't matter.

"I've done my job anyway, and the rest is none of my business. ”

He muttered to himself.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the other half of his property was still under Allen's control, he wouldn't have obediently listened to Allen, and traveled thousands of miles to the Free Federation across the sea to find some goblins to talk about cooperation.

"It's a shame that Allen's little imp came to this place to do business. ”

Aside from the prejudices that are common in human beings, Keith still admires his cousin's idea.

The Goblins are a very business-savvy race

In the stars, where there are goblins, it represents commerce, and it represents a lot of taxes. Goblins are very strong in business, but they don't have much self-protection power in the stars, so generally, in the face of this group of fat sheep, the taxes set by human lords often exceed those of other merchants, and some cities even charge two-thirds of the business tax!

This also causes that only a small number of wandering goblin caravans can be seen in the territory of the stars, and there are not no goblin merchants who are resident in a certain city, but there are very few.

There are very few lords who can resist their own desire for exploitation and rationally analyze the goblins to stay in the local area, and most of the lords are eager to cramp and pull out their bones in the face of the fat sheep like goblins, anyway, they are not humans, and no one cares how much they do it.

The lords of the stars generally don't reason with goblins, just as the people of Allen's previous life didn't talk about human rights with monkeys.

So Keith admired his weird cousin more, and couldn't help but have a little disdain.

What is admired is that in the face of the same taxes as human merchants, the goblins can't resist the temptation at all, and they will definitely swarm to drive the commercial development of Bay City, as evidenced by the big goblin in front of them.

You must know that the nobles of the goblins are very desperate for their lives, and they will not easily come to the "dangerous" Star Empire.

As for contempt?

Isn't it worth despising to face an idiot who talks to monkeys about human rights?

His mind was turning, Keith's face was as usual, and he led the goblins towards Pochi Castle: "This is the port area of Bay City, and there are usually a lot of merchant ships docking, and it is still very lively, but Lord Bauer, you should understand that the Star Empire is a country of many disasters, and the annual monster siege is about to begin, so it is very depressed here." ”

Goblin Bauer looked up and asked, "Is that what you call the festival of the stars?"

"It's the stars, but it's not a festival. Although Keith secretly looks down on this group of goblins, he is different from most of the stars, he has been to the strange country of the Free Federation, and knows what kind of energy the goblin clan has there, so he has always maintained a certain "respect" for the big goblin in front of him.

The others were different, and the soldiers who followed around them, despite the constant shouting of Barry, still kept pointing at the goblins, let alone the pedestrians on the road.

"Look! it's a goblin!"

A passer-by child suddenly screamed, causing people around him to look sideways.

Feeling the monkey-like gaze around him, one of the goblin attendants couldn't help but say, "That's one of the reasons I hate humans!"

"Shut up!" Bauer glared at his entourage, but his face was also not very good-looking.

Living in an open-minded Free Federation for many years, he hadn't received such a gaze for a long time, and he was also not very comfortable.

However, the upbringing of the big goblin still made him hold back the strangeness in his heart, and only said with a little dissatisfaction: "Your Excellency Keith, I hope that the lords here will not be like them. ”

Keith comforted absentmindedly, "Don't worry, my cousin is very much like a member of the Free Federation, otherwise he wouldn't have sent me to invite you here." ”

His attention was drawn to the current situation in the port area: pirates with missing arms and legs, strangers and armed men he had never met, and armored soldiers patrolling the streets...

"Hell, what's going on here?"

Keith was terrified.

He found that the pirate minions who had crisscrossed the port area in the past looked very scared in the face of those soldiers.

And that's not all, who was the one who just passed by? If you read it right, the deputy head of the Blood Shark Pirates, right? He didn't stay in their secret base camp, how did he get to Bay City? And he was lame?

Thinking of the famous Deputy Captain of the Blood Shark in the past, who had just honestly looked like an ordinary resident, Keith couldn't help but shudder.

But as he progressed, more and more differences made Keith more and more stunned, and finally became numb.

Countless gangsters put aside their business and circled around a group of soldiers, saying something about clue bounties and the like.

There were a lot more pirates than ever before roaming the streets, but like the Blood Shark Vice-Captain, they all looked like normal residents under the watchful eyes of the soldiers, and God knows when they were so honest.

Others, unaware of the fact that the armed men who had come out of the area had obvious enmity with the pirates, glared at each other in the streets, and some even cursed at them, but that was all there was to it.

The most bizarre thing is that as they came to the residential area, Keith actually saw a middle-aged aunt in an apron standing on the side of the road with her waist crossed, and she was teaching several strong young men a lesson, saying that she was the team leader, her verdict was absolutely correct, and if you were not convinced, you could report Yunyun...

"What the hell is going on in Bay City?"

Until the castle, Keith couldn't figure out what he was seeing.
