Zhao Geyan returned with his fleet.

With Luo Dacheng leading the bridge and sufficient funds as the backing, Zhao Geyan successfully purchased two old merchant ships in the dock of Leighton City, and an old shipbuilder who had a leg amputated.

He completed Chen Xiao's task with the least amount of money, and the rest of the money was used to buy food supplies and slaves.

Two old boats, eating on the deep waterline, docked at the pier in Pinewood Village.

After returning to the territory, Zhao Geyan reported to Chen Xiao about the various things on this trip and the information he had gathered.

"The battle front of Kaiyan City is in an emergency, the empire has sent the First Royal Knights to Kaiyan City to support, and the lords of the territories that the Knights pass through need to cooperate with the Knights to recruit troops. ”

"Following the Knights' route, they have bypassed the Violet Plateau, going south from Red Lotus City to Storm City, and then north to Kaiyan City. ”

"President Luo estimates that Blackstone Fort and Rodri Village are both on the route of the Knights. ”

Listening to Zhao Geyan's report, Chen Xiao looked at the map on the wall and fell into deep thought.

Zhao Geyan glanced at the beautiful woman beside Chen Xiao strangely, and continued: "There is news from Storm City that Lord Walter Wolf has been assassinated. The Lord of Storm City is temporarily served by his cousin. ”

Hearing the news of Watt's assassination, Chen Xiao suddenly felt a little weak.

Could it be Lawrence, who was promoted to the Golden Warrior, who assassinated Watt?

If that's the case, then it's a good disaster.

After three seconds of silence for Watt, the unlucky ghost, Chen Xiao raised his head and said, "Take me to see the ship and the shipbuilder first." ”

He picked up the golden sword covered with a layer of leather on the table, tied the belt around his waist, and walked out of the lord's office in a majestic manner.

Since Lawrence assassinated Watt, he must know that he killed the wrong person, and when the time comes, he will know his identity after he finds it out.

Surely, that Lawrence guy will repeat his old tricks and assassinate him.

The holy relics obtained from the ruins of Fenrir could not be included in the spatial ring, so he had to carry his sword with him.

To stay safe, Lux must also be close to him.

So, he called Lux.

As Chen Xiao's personal bodyguard, Lux agreed to Chen Xiao's request without thinking about it.

If it is really as Chen Xiao said, Lawrence, who has a lot of resentment, may find an opportunity to assassinate Chen Xiao.

This has to be guarded against.

The shipbuilder Dai Foss brought back by Zhao Geyan was a lame old man, who was said to be Taishan Beidou of the Layton City Shipyard.

The outdated Taishan Beidou.

It is said that he still has a big temper, and no one will hold it.

If it weren't for his rich experience and many years of work in the shipyard, a stubborn old man like Davos would have been eliminated long ago, thrown out of the dockyard, and left to fend for himself.

Luo Dacheng recommended Davos to Zhao Geyan.

Zhao Geyan originally didn't want to bring this stinky old man back, but experienced shipbuilders, it is impossible to release people in the shipyard, and Zhao Geyan has no choice but to bring Davos back.

He hadn't seen how good Davos was at shipbuilding, he only knew that this lame old man couldn't build ships anymore, and he was left with a stinky temper.

When Chen Xiao saw Davos, the old man was buttoning his toes.

He was wearing an old leather coat and shoes, which were covered with smudges and the edges were worn off.

He has a gray beard, his hair is messy, his old face is wrinkled, and when he speaks, he will show big yellow teeth that are missing two front teeth.

Before Chen Xiao got closer, he smelled a sour smell, he touched his nose and stood still.

"Is that the old man?" Chen Xiao glanced at Zhao Geyan, whose face was dark.

Zhao Geyan nodded with embarrassment on his face, and smiled wryly: "President Luo recommends." ”

"That guy is really naughty. Does he want to see my jokes?" Chen Xiao muttered, took out a cigarette from the space ring, wiped the match on the matchbox, and lit it, the corner of his mouth was on the tail of the cigarette, and he took a slight puff, with an indescribable chic and leadership style.

Lux ignored Chen Xiao's pretending appearance, and she was more concerned about the various movements around her.

Arya couldn't help but wonder, "My lord, what is this?"

"Cigarettes. ”

Chen Xiao deliberately blew a circle on Arya, and in the choking smell, Arya coughed, with a bitter face: "My lord, please don't do this, this thing smells a little ...... Eccentric. ”

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "You don't understand the taste of men." ”

Arya: "......"

Why does she always feel that Chen Xiao is teasing her.

So Arya silently moved half a step away and distanced herself from Chen Xiao.

When Chen Xiao saw Arya's actions, he felt hurt by 10,000 points.

He looked at Lux, who was indifferent and ignored him, and said, "You wait for me here." ”

As he spoke, Chen Xiao took a cigarette in his mouth, walked up to Davos, handed a roll to the old man, and said casually: "Old man, do you want to smoke one?"

Davos raised his eyes to look at Chen Xiao, his nostrils let out a slight breath, and said, "You are the lord here?" ”

"Well said, well said. Chen Xiao handed a cigarette to Davos and lit it for him.

Davos looked curious, and he also took the end of the cigarette in his mouth like Chen Xiao did and took a puff. A bitter, hot, and choking taste immediately spread out in the mouth, with a fine body taste, and a kind of sweetness that is incomparably sweet.

The first time he smoked, he didn't even choke, but took a deep breath, revealing a look of surprise and enjoyment.

"Cool! This thing is good. Davos grinned, and smoke puffed out of his mouth and nose.

He used to work in the shipyard all day, and he didn't know how much the smell and dust he had, and the small smoke like a cigarette was just a small thing.

Chen Xiao squatted beside Davos, swallowed the clouds and spit fog for a while, and did not speak.

When the cigarette was finished, Chen Xiao stood up, flicked the cigarette tail on his finger casually, and smiled casually: "Let's go, old man." ”

Davos looked at Chen Xiao with a confused expression, wondering if this yellow-haired boy lord was a bastard!

After coming over and giving him a cigarette to smoke, he didn't even say a word, and said he was going to leave after smoking, is this sincerely playing with him?

That kind of cigarette, he still wants to smoke.

"Lord, aren't you looking for something with me?" Davos tugged.

"Smokers don't need to talk to each other, just smoke. Chen Xiao said.

Davos's fiery temper suddenly felt that there was no way to vent, if Chen Xiao said anything to let him build a ship and work for the lord, although Davos would not spray Chen Xiao's face, he would sneer at Chen Xiao for a while.

But now Davos feels so aggrieved.

Smokers don't need to talk to each other, just smoke?

Dare you come here just to let me smoke a cigarette!

Davos felt like he had been fooled.

He grinned and said with a smile, "Lord Lord, do you still have this cigarette?"

The smoke was so good to his taste that Davos couldn't stop trying it once.

This stuff is addictive!

Chen Xiao looked innocent: "Hey, this thing is not easy to make, I don't have much left." You see, the tobacco used to make this tobacco is not on this continent, it needs to be crossed, and my friend had a hard time bringing some back to me from an island in the Endless Sea. There is no fleet that can cope with storms at sea, and these tobacco shreds run out and are gone. ”

Davos didn't know if what Chen Xiao said was true, but Chen Xiao's meaning was obvious, that is, he wanted Davos to build a fleet.

Davos stared at Chen Xiao for a moment, then suddenly fell silent.

"I heard that the old man knows how to build ships?" Chen Xiao got to the point.

"I know a little bit about it. But......" Davos looked at his half-amputated left leg, and was lonely, "I can't build it anymore." ”

"Yes, an old cripple like you, it is estimated that it is difficult to build a ship. Chen Xiao was not polite at all.

Everston was angry and scolded, "Yes, I'm an old cripple! If it weren't for your stalking, how could I have left my hometown and come here!

In fact, Davos doesn't miss that place at all, just because of face and cheekiness.

He always had to give himself a little step, and with his usual hot temper, he was not well received in that place.

Chen Xiao smiled: "I'm sorry, we are not responsible for returns." ”

Everston's face flushed with anger and he yelled.
