Chapter 185: Xiatos Chamber of Commerce (Happy Winter Solstice~)
Since he decided to take over this matter, Rob intends to take care of it to the end.
He wrote a handwritten letter and handed it to Ursula, and went with Lolo to find Oden, the captain of the Six Flowers, before sunset, Barber's matter is actually not serious, in fact, what Auden really cares about is not how the latter is united with the giant whale pirates, but the problem of the giant whale pirates has been biting the Six Flowers, and now there is still more than a month away from Violet Harbor, if it is entangled by pirates at this time, it will be a very troublesome matter.
And the reason why the other party can accurately find their location in the vast sea is because of the hands and feet that he has moved on the blood ring before, of course, Rob can directly erase the positioning magic on it, but he doesn't want to do it, because this can only temporarily eliminate the crisis, and if he can't find the mastermind behind the scenes, Ursula will still be hunted down and killed.
The Whale Pirates are the only clue he has at the moment, their leader Curtis should know something, and the way to investigate this matter will ultimately fall on the pirates, and all the future Ultra Magus has to do now is to wait for them to come to the door again.
Auden looked at the fat nobleman in front of him, his expression was entangled, "Viscount of Wales, are you serious?"
The fat nobleman smiled gently, "The virtue of trustworthiness is not exclusive to your Haifa Chamber of Commerce. ”
Auden smiled wryly, "You're really going to give me a problem." ”
The people on this ship undoubtedly care about the two passengers in the special class, one is the widow of Duke Amanda - the famous Lady Rose, and the other is the fat nobleman in front of him, the latter's title is not too high, just an honorary viscount, compared with ordinary titles, titles with the word honor are not hereditary, and are mostly used by the kingdom to reward those who have made special contributions.
The real identity of the fat man named Wales in front of him is actually a businessman, but he is not an ordinary businessman, the other party is the vice president of the Ciatos Chamber of Commerce.
The Chiatos Chamber of Commerce is the second largest chamber of commerce in the Dawn Continent, second only to the Haifa Chamber of Commerce behind him, it stands to reason that there will always be a strong smell of gunpowder between the first and the second, but in fact, the relationship between Chiatos and Haifa is more harmonious than many people imagined, this is mainly because of the different business scopes and areas of gravity of the two sides, the Xiatos Chamber of Commerce will focus strategically on the north and the dwarf world, the second largest shareholder is said to be the royal family of the dwarf kingdom, and the competition between the two sides is not so strong.
For example, the Viscount of Wales, the No. 3 person of the Ciatos Chamber of Commerce, went to the south to deal with things, and when he returned, he took the Liuhua of the Haifa Chamber of Commerce. Unlike Madame Rose, the fat aristocrat did not deliberately hide his existence, and usually walked on the deck to blow the wind or something after eating, but it was difficult for ordinary people of his level to recognize, and he was dressed more casually, and no one except Captain Auden knew his identity.
Rob had heard of his name, but he couldn't connect with the real person, but after four months on the same ship, the future Transcend Magister would also know that the other party was from the Siatos Chamber of Commerce, and it would not be just ordinary merchants in the Chamber of Commerce who could occupy a stateroom, so Rob took the purple gem that Gage gave him.
The latter looked a little surprised when he saw the gem, but Wales behaved very professionally, and although he was curious, he did not ask the identity of the gem holder, nor did he ask the origin of the gem, but smiled, "The person who holds this purple gem is a permanent friend of the Ciatos Chamber of Commerce, you can tell me any requirements you have, as long as I am happy to serve you within the scope of my ability." ”
So then the fat nobleman followed Lolo and Rob to the captain's room, Auden now felt a headache, his fingers tapped on the table, thought for a while and then said, "I can give it to you, but I will not stop the ship and deliberately wait for the pirates to catch up, Viscount of Wales, I respect you, and I also respect the intention between the Haifa Chamber of Commerce and the Ciatos Chamber of Commerce, but at the same time I am also responsible for the lives of the other passengers on this ship." ”
"You're the captain, and of course you're up to you here. The fat nobleman nodded, then looked at Rob and Lolo on the side, "I'm sorry, I may not be able to fulfill your second request. ”
"Thank you, that's enough. "Rob's main purpose in finding the fat nobleman is to save Babel, as for the other request, it is only incidental, in fact, as long as the people of the Giant Whale Pirates appear in his field of vision, Rob has a way to board the other party's ship, and he does not need the Six Flowers to deliberately approach.
"If you have anything else to help with, you can come back to me. The fat nobleman smiled and said, "Xiatos will always be in Kaiyan City, you are welcome to come as a guest, Oden, you are the same, when you don't want to do it in Haifa, remember to come to our Xiatos." ”
The latter snorted, counting as an answer.
Wales is very caring, after Barber was rescued, in order to avoid any more embarrassment among the passengers, he let him and Ursula live in his own stateroom, as the best guest room on the Liuhua, each set of staterooms includes a master bedroom, six secondary bedrooms, in addition to the study, living room, dining room and other functional rooms.
The fat nobleman's entourage was simple, with only one female bodyguard, and the two of them each occupied a bedroom, so there were five rooms to spare, and in addition to Ursula and Barber, he invited Rob and Lolo, but they politely declined.
Because Jessica bought them a second-class ticket, the two had to sleep in the same room before, and now they finally have a spare room, and it stands to reason that the two can finally sleep separately, but Rob and Lolo seem to have forgotten about it, and still sleep together in the same room.
The Rokuka spent half a day resting, and then continued to sail towards Violet Harbor, because of the fear of encountering pirates again, during which Captain Oden also changed the sailing route, but it didn't work, but three days later, the lookout saw the black flag again, but fortunately, one of them was destroyed in the storm area before, and now there are only two ships left in the giant whale pirate group, and if the battle is really fought, the Rokuhua will not have no chance of winning.
Of course, this was just a last resort, Oden ordered to open the ship's magic array and move forward at full speed, and the two pirate ships behind him began to speed up without accident, but after a while, Curtis's speed suddenly slowed down again, and the other pirate ship had to slow down because of the fear of the firepower on the Liuhua.
Auden took the binoculars from the first mate, looked at them for a while, and was surprised to find that the two pirate ships had stopped.
