Early the next morning, Captain Locke, who had wanted to quietly return with the Pebble, was invited to Griffith by Bailey.

"Captain Locke, I heard you're leaving today?" Griffith was eating his breakfast, and at his feet, White Dragon Silver Frost was holding a roasted deer leg and nibbling on it.

"Yes, sir. We are begging for a living on the ship, and this is such a hard life. ”

"As far as I know, the salted fish in Hydra Village is quite good, why don't you buy some of them, Captain Locke? Although the salted fish is not valuable, you can always earn a hundred gold dragons when you ship it back to Thousand Sails City, right?

Griffith said, "As far as I know, your ship has come to Hydra Village to do this business before. ”

"It's—" Locke replied, a little confused.

If it weren't for the events on the road that made him fearful, he did have such plans. It is a sin for a captain to go out to sea and leave the cabin empty.

Griffith tapped the plate with a spoon and said a little unceremoniously, "I'll just tell you straight, your worries are unnecessary." I, Griffith Caroling, am not the kind of person who kills chickens and eggs. What do you want to do in Hydra Village, don't worry, I guarantee you and the Pebble's safety. ”

"My lord, what about taxes?" Merchants who trade in the territories of nobles naturally have to pay taxes. Trading with the villagers in private and trading under the noses of the nobles are completely different things.

"I don't care about this, you and William will do it. Griffith waved his hand a little impatiently, he didn't care about the tax money of the dozens of golden dragons. "Calling you here so early actually has one thing to remind you. ”

I don't know what the second son of this baron is thinking, Locke has to ask "humbly": "I don't know what you have to say, my lord?"

"Kyle Osborne's sneak attack on me, I said I wouldn't bother with you. But the Osborne family has made a big mistake this time, and your ship was there at the time, so I was worried that the Osborne family would be angry with you, so I asked Bailey to call you here and give you a heads-up. ”

Listening to Griffith's words, Locke's face suddenly turned white.

He's been worried about Griffiths turning his face and not recognizing people for the past few days, and he hasn't had time to consider the reaction of the Osborne family. Now that I think about it, I really feel like a catastrophe is coming.

Although Thousand Sails City is not the territory of the Osborne family, it is not easy for a powerful earl to crush a small captain to death?

"But you don't need to worry too much about it for now. Griffith wiped his mouth with a napkin, stood up, walked slowly to Locke, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Until Kyle Osborne is redeemed, I believe the Osborne family will not have time to deal with you." ”

Locke was silent for a while, and after thinking about it, he finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "I believe that Lord Griffith, you will not mention this matter for no reason, I don't know where to use the villain?"

"You're a shrewd man. Griffith saw that the fire was up, so he stopped going around in circles: "I have a lot of places where I can use you, I heard that you are a level 2 warrior?"

"Yes. "Locke didn't know what medicine was sold in Griffith's gourd.

According to the habits of Titania, having received complete basic training as a warrior, he can be considered a level 1 warrior. To be promoted to a Tier 2 Warrior, you need to defeat the siege of 3 Tier 1 Warriors. A person like Locke, in the private army of ordinary nobles, can serve as a military commander.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just giving you a piece of advice. Griffith put his hands behind his back, walked to the window, looked at the monotonous scenery outside the window, and said, "If you and the rest of the crew can't stay in Thousand Sails City, my door here will always be open for you." Also, if you come next time, remember to bring more food. ”

After Locke left, Bailey, who had been hiding in the shadows, came behind Griffith's back again, "My lord—"

Before Bailey could speak, Griffith shook his hand, "When this business is done, you can go to Thousand Sails City and find a way to create some rumors that Kyle Osborne is going to vent his anger with the crew of the Pebble." Remember, keep it secret, especially not from the Raven Guild. ”

In the same way, for Hyde, a level 4 warrior, Griffith did not agree to Bailey's proposal. But with Locke and the sailors aboard the Cobblestone, Griffith had no such concerns. Even if things are revealed in the future, these people will not be able to turn the sky around.

"Yes, sir. Bailey's face was a little more awe-inspiring.

At noon that day, the siege crabs, who had trekked along the coast alone, finally arrived at the mouth of the Chishui River and caused a great sensation among the villagers of Hydra. After informing the village chief William, Griffith temporarily placed the siege crabs in the rocky beach near the pier, where they were fed by the villagers of Hydra on weekdays with grain brought by the Pebblestones.

The next day, the Pebble returned to Thousand Sails City laden with salted fish and timber.

In the next few days, Griffith took the young dragon Silver Frost and walked around the village of Hydra, which naturally aroused the wonder of the village chief William: If the second son of the baron did not hurry back to Carolingburg, wouldn't he be afraid that his father and brother would be unhappy?

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of March.

"Out of this forest, it's Carolingburg. "Anna has no homesickness at all, and the closer she gets to home, the more she talks.

Bailey, Vicente, and Hansen were all a little nervous when they were visiting Carolingburg for the first time, but they all carefully pricked up their ears and listened to Anna's anecdotes and gossip as they went.

Griffith rode a miscellaneous horse in the center of the procession, followed by several pack horses requisitioned from the village of Hydra, with large bags of luggage strapped on their backs. In addition to clothes and other daily necessities, the rest of the package was all books and magical materials, because of the high value, Griffith did not dare to store it in Hydra Village, so he had to take it with him.

Silver Frost, the baby dragon, is mischievously flying around Griffith, a young female dragon who has just been born with a full moon, and has finally been able to fly not long ago. According to Griffith's information from the book, wild white dragons generally take about three months to six months to fly.

The newly hatched white dragon can't even beat the wolf, and before the age of 1, it often has to dig up bugs and hunt small animals to satisfy its hunger. Silver Frost's precocious maturity should be due to the abundance of food, and Griffith didn't pay much attention to it.

"The two brothers will definitely come to pick me up, and Lord Andrew, I think they will come too. Anna whispered in Griffith's ear expectantly.

To Anna's disappointment, when the group walked out of the forest, there was no expected greeting procession, only a thin girl with a little black donkey standing on the side of the road waiting.

"Brother Griffith!" the girl led the donkey and trotted over, and in just a few dozen steps, her face was a little more unhealthy flushed.

"Lily?" Griffith hesitated, after all, his body had actually changed souls, and no one in the team could be more apprehensive than Griffith.

Griffith rolled over and dismounted, and before he could stand firmly, the little girl hugged him.

This made Griffith, who had never touched a woman in his life, a little at a loss, his hands frozen in the air, not knowing where to put them.

The little girl's body was soft and had a faint fragrance, but it was really a little thin, even if Griffith was half-bent over, the little girl's head could only reach Griffith's chin, not to mention that she had no ass and no breasts, she was still a little kid at all.

The little girl's name was Lily, Griffith's cousin, and the adopted daughter of Baron Stone.
