Three hours later, Bai Qi found his boat parked in a dense bush in the eastern part of Blackwater City, rowed over a mountain beam, and almost roared with excitement when he saw the brand-new warship moored in the canyon behind the mountain beam.

The two boarded the warship, and Bai Qi immediately ordered Gunde to quietly sail along the shore of the lake towards the north shore of Heishui Lake......

Four days later, the new ship made a half-circle in the Blackwater Lake, leaving the Blackwater Swamp along the new channel left by Gunde's father, and entering the Suro River......

Due to the distance between the new channel left by Gunde's father and the one commonly used by the pirates, the enraged Captain Leo spilled a large sum of gold coins and hired to intercept the pirate ship, without even seeing the shadow of the new ship......

Seeing the city of Leoni from afar, which was located on the banks of the Sara River, Bai Qi waved his hand and ordered Gunde to raise the city-state flag of Leony City and the flag of his newly designed family.

Although the flag of the city-state of Leoni was raised, the entry of a brand-new, never-before-seen assault ship into the harbor caused a high alarm among the sailors.

Coincidentally, it was the last time the battleship intercepted him, and the chosen warriors who boarded the assault ship looked at Gunde, and then at Bai Qi, who had changed into women's clothes, and immediately knew that this woman was the new patriarch of the city-state, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute Bai Qi, but they still dutifully asked about the origin of Bai Qi's ship.

Bai Qi simply told him that the ship had been purchased by himself from the shipyards of other city-states.

Although the city-state of Leoni did not allow its shipyards to sell large ships above assault to private individuals or families, it did not object to its own people buying large ships from other city-states, not only did not oppose it, but supported it, although few people were able to do so. Because all city-states had the same law, shipyards were forbidden to sell large warships to private individuals or families.

The two Chosen Warriors politely and carefully searched the new ship up and down before letting them into the harbor.

Judging by the attitude of these two Chosen Warriors. Bai Qi, the newly promoted patriarch, did not have enough prestige to gain the respect of these ordinary Chosen Warriors.

But. Bai Qi only got this veteran status to complete the task, and he didn't care about these false honors.

The sailors were a little puzzled by the sudden addition of a woman on board, but they didn't dare to ask more.

Gunde and Bode, who generally understood the situation, looked at Bai Qi with some concern, worried that he would use that divine disguise to do something earth-shattering in Leoni City, and he didn't want to be hunted down by Leony City in the next life.

Nonda, who had been in the water thief's den for three years, felt indifferent to this qiē.

Adrian, who had already been informed by Bai Qi, was already waiting on the dock with a carriage.

After Bai Qi got off the ship, he directly threw the new ship to Adrian and asked her to go through the formalities for the new warship. He summoned Round, Gunde, and Lenka, who had followed Adrian to meet them, and got into the carriage and drove towards the city.

Adrian, who had returned early, had already used his status as the patriarch of the Baiqi Senate and the spoils they had previously scavenged the fishmen to buy a mansion in the city in the past ten days.

The location of this mansion is not too good, it is located on the edge of the civic area in the east of the city, not far from the civilian area, but Bai Qi and they certainly don't care about this kind of location.

Adrian was fascinated by the mansion's vast size and strong defenses.

It is a square yard with a width of more than fifty meters. The courtyard was surrounded by a four-meter-high stone wall, behind which there was a rudimentary wooden watchtower built every twenty meters, and the top of the watchtower could accommodate four archers. Usually it is just a guard tower, and if something happens, it can be used as an arrow tower immediately.

In the center of the courtyard is a circular stone fort with a diameter of 20 meters, the stone fort is three stories high, the first floor is the dining room and reception room, the second floor is the master's residence, and the third floor is a military hall, and the top of the stone fort has a parapet wall with shooting holes.

The stone fort is surrounded by a ring of bungalows, which are completely connected together. The doors all opened inward, when the only gate to the outside of the bungalows was closed. This circle of bungalows is actually the second fence in this courtyard.

The height of the bungalows is six meters, two meters higher than the courtyard wall outside. The distance between the outer wall of the bungalow and the outer courtyard wall is less than three meters, and once the archers are arranged on the roof of the bungalow.......

Looking at this courtyard, which was even more terrifying than the defense of a military fortress, Bai Qi couldn't help but be a little speechless.

Listening to Lenka, who has been following Adrian, this courtyard used to belong to a big merchant in Leoni City, this merchant came from the bottom, the family blood was ordinary, and he had no talent for strength.

The big businessman spent a great deal of money and did not cultivate a strong man for his family, so although he accumulated an astonishing amount of wealth, he could not obtain the corresponding political status.

With no strength and empty wealth, he is like a fat pig in the eyes of others, and some time ago, the two Chosen Warriors hired by the merchant swept away the merchant's two cargo ships and two ships of extremely high value.

The actions of the two Chosen Warriors were like two sharks biting through the skin of their prey, and the blood attracted more greedy sharks.

Almost most of the nobles of Leony took part in this feast, and by various means they divided the property of the great merchants, and the fortress, which the great merchants had carefully built for their own preservation, did not serve any purpose at all, and had to be sold at a low price.

Entering the main building, Bai Qi quickly washed off the camouflage on his body and called Round, Gunde, and Lenka to the military hall on the third floor of the main building.

This is a rotunda with a diameter of twenty meters, the hall is empty, and the walls are hung with bows and arrows, war spears, shields, swords and other weapons, all of which are exquisite, but without exception, there are no enchanted, no enchanted ordinary weapons, in the eyes of the Chosen Warriors, even if they are exquisite, they are worthless, because with the craftsmanship of this era, ordinary weapons simply cannot resist the toss of the powerful Chosen Warriors.

Bai Qi's gaze roamed back and forth over Round, Gunde, and Lenka's faces, and all three of them became nervous under Bai Qi's gaze.

Round, in particular, remembered what Bai Qi had said in Blackwater City, and his heart beat uncontrollably.

In the end, Bai Qi's gaze fell on Nonda and said, "When I was in Blackwater City, I once said. As long as we can successfully deceive that ship, I will take Rounda as a disciple, and now is the time to make my promise. ”

Listened to Bai Qi's words. Without hesitation, Rounda knelt down on one knee in front of Bai Qi.

Bai Qi reached out and stroked the top of Roundup's head and said, "From today." You are a disciple of my Lucas, and from today onwards, you will also be the descendant of the Steelheart Stream Martial Arts School. ”

After saying that, Bai Qi ignored Round, who was kneeling on the ground with an excited face and a red face, he turned the realization to Gunde's face, and said in his hopeful eyes: "Gunde, you have also contributed a lot in this operation, so my promise to Roundup is also equivalent to a promise to you." Are you willing to be my disciple and learn the Steelheart Flow martial arts with me? ”

Without saying a word, Gunder immediately got down on one knee.

After accepting Gunde, Bai Qi turned his gaze to Lenka's face again, and in Lenka's disbelieving expression, Bai Qi said: "Lenka, I have always kept your loyalty in my heart, and now I ask you if you are willing to be my disciple." Follow me to learn the Steelheart Flow martial arts? ”

Listening to Bai Qi's words, Lenka was stunned, and after a moment. Tears suddenly welled up in his eyes, and he slowly knelt down and said, "I do, my teacher!" ”

Bai Qi accepted these three disciples, on the one hand, in order to increase the loyalty of these three people and tie them firmly to his chariot.

On the other hand, both Roundup and Gunder have excellent talents and have a good chance of breaking through to become the Chosen One in the short term, once these two break through. and having a master-apprentice relationship with himself, that is undoubtedly a great help. Especially Roundup, his talent can be said to be the best Bai Qi has ever seen. Once the breakthrough is made, the combat effectiveness is by no means comparable to that of ordinary Chosen Warriors.

After the simple apprenticeship ceremony was completed, Bai Qi began training the three of them almost immediately.

After taking the training high-energy nutrient solution for more than a month, coupled with his young age and talent, Roundup has fully recovered at this time.

Bai Qi used the training method of steel heart flow to carry out a comprehensive training on Roundup.

Gunder also experienced a period of slavery life, although the time was far less than Roundup, but his body was not as good as Roundup, and more than a year of slavery still caused indelible damage to his body.

Previously, because Bai Qi didn't trust him very much, he never gave him a training high-energy nutrient solution, so Gunde can't withstand full training now.

While Bai Qi handed him a bottle of high-energy nutrient solution, he only arranged some relaxing training for him.

Lenka's body has not been harmed, but his talent and physical qualities are far inferior to Gunde, let alone Roundup, so although Bai Qi also arranged comprehensive training for Lenka, and also provided high-energy nutrient solutions for training, he didn't have much hope for him.

Adrian quickly assumed the identity of the new ship in Leony, and returned to the courtyard that they had temporarily named the "Merchant Castle" with a group of loyal sailors and slaves.

After arranging the training of the three of Roundup, let them go to the courtyard below, each choose a bungalow, and train alone, Bai Qi met with Adrian and Barian in the living room on the second floor, and talked about what happened after the separation.

From Adrian's mouth, Bai Qi heard two bad news, perhaps because of the impact of the news brought by the orcs, no matter what conditions she gave, no one was willing to sell the battleship in her hand, and in the past ten days, she didn't even get a single thief ship.

In other words, their plan to buy another battleship has failed.

But this is also to be expected, after all, this is an advanced task, not so easy to complete.

The second bad news is that Bai Qi is no longer the only space soldier patriarch in Leoni City, since ten days ago, there have been many space soldiers who have obtained enough feats and completed the basic task "noble". Among these space soldiers, there are several space warriors who themselves have E-level strength and have directly obtained the status of patriarchs.

For the second bad news, Bai Qi also expected it, after all, the veterans of the large and medium-sized teams are not all vegetarians, Bai Qi happened to rob a merchant ship, although they established an advantage of being one step ahead, but it was impossible to throw these experienced veterans too far, and it was a matter of time before they were caught up.
