Chapter 176: Rise (6)
Sailors begged for a living on the thriving docks, but families were mostly in the "lower town" of the silver city-state. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The carriage drove slowly down the streets of the "Downtown", and through the window, Seid observed everything along the way.
This was the first time since he joined the Tower that he was in the mood, and it was also the first time he had time to slowly observe the inhabitants of the Silver City-State.
There are not many shops on the street, but there are many pedestrians, most of them women, and many children are playing.
It can be seen that although it is a "lower city", most of them are still poor, but these inhabitants of the silver city-state, not only women, but also older children, have traces of practicing secret arts.
"The vast majority of those who will appear in Misty Isle will probably be Warlocks, their followers, and perhaps servants. These inhabitants should have originated from this, perhaps descendants or the like, and it is normal to have secret arts. ”
"The energy activity of Misty Island is extremely high, the flesh and blood of fierce beasts are not scarce, and low-level secret magic potions can often be seen, whether it is going to sea or working for some people, there is always a time when they come into contact, and these children can practice secret arts early in the morning, it should be this. ”
Syd's thoughts flickered darkly...... Perhaps, he could also pick a few of these people, whether it was for collecting daily information about the Silver City-State, or for returning to the Duchy in the future.
Moreover, according to the market of the sailor team, the investment in these people is obviously not large.
Compared to what he hoped for, he could have given it a try.
Even if the attempt fails, bring these people back to the principality, and you can use it too.
Don't look at these people as low-class residents in the silver city-state, but in the brotherhood, they are all masters, and it is more than enough to serve as a guard for Lady Dinah and Edith.
"It's still in the name of the Brotherhood, first accepting a few that can be used, and then gradually expanding...... If it doesn't work on the Misty Islands, it will be possible to seamlessly connect with Gani's men in the end. ”
"But in addition, when the income of the resource area stabilizes, some masters who should be recruited still have to be recruited. ”
When the agreement with the Pompeii family expires, his resource area should be able to accommodate two fleets, even if he goes to sea in person every time, there is also a fleet, and a master needs to be in charge.
Whether it is a great knight rank or a high apprentice, there is always a need to recruit in the future, or if there is a Sea Clan warrior who can accept long-term employment, it is not impossible to consider.
Also, when the time is right, when he starts to get involved in the internal interests of the Silver City-State......
Just as Syd was observing the situation in the "Lower City" and thinking about it again, in the same carriage, the voice of the ice warlock Relai suddenly sounded: "Boss, in the past two days, some of my friends have heard some rumors, it seems that some people from the Saxon family are releasing rumors to the outside world, saying that they have reached some cooperation with you and reached some consensus......"
Wind...... Said slowly withdrew his gaze, but there was no surprise, how could Kerry send the fire dragon saliva silently.
"If you are reluctant, it can be regarded as a consensus. The Saxons offered a share of the dragon's saliva in exchange for a rapprochement between me and them. Kerry personally came forward, which can be regarded as sincere, and it is also a good thing to turn the conflict into a jade silk, at least the formation of the fleet and the voyage can save some trouble. Said with a slight nod. Ruilai can't be regarded as his confidant, even in front of his henchman, he won't easily confide in some words, he won't say much.
The saliva of the fire dragon, or Kerry personally came forward to apologize...... Ruilai pondered, nodded as well, and said something about the sailor team that he was going to meet soon.
Soon, the carriage arrived at its destination, Rylai had already negotiated, Side showed up slightly, and the two sides quickly completed the signing.
Then the carriage left the "Lower Town" and headed for the edge of the island.
The next one to visit is the Sea Clan.
The sea tribe is very dependent on the ocean, even if it is a snake man who often lands and lives, it is nothing for a day or two, but after a long time, the body will be unbearable.
Therefore, the settlements of the Sea Tribes on Misty Island are either on the edge of the island, or directly under the sea.
The Blackblade Tribe, the target of Said's visit, is a large tribe with snake people as the main body and many vassals of the Sea Clan.
As the carriage approached the edge of the island, some vigilant snake guards immediately stopped it.
"We are from the Tower and have come to see Elder Kutcher. Ruilai exposed his underneath, his spiritual power waved, and his cold voice reached the ears of all the snake people.
Immediately, the attitude of these snake people became respectful, they were vassals of the tower, and they did not dare to offend the warlock at will.
All of them put away their weapons, and the leader of the guards responded to Ruilai in a vague and respectful voice, and then arranged for the guards to lead the carriage slowly, and his own figure flashed, and swept quickly towards the tribe.
There are not many buildings in the Black Blade Tribe, except for a large palace-like building, only near the palace, there are some stone halls like council halls.
"Although the Sea Clan has been attached to the tower for many years, many habits cannot be changed, many Sea Tribes still like to settle under the sea, and snake people also like to live in caves in the Yin Tide. ”
Said quickly remembered the introduction of certain books in the library about the Sea Clan.
The carriage slowly drove into the tribe, and there were already many snake people waiting, most of them were extremely tall and imposing, and there were a few more, like the human race, and they were also wearing gorgeous robes.
As the carriage stopped, one of the gorgeously-robed snake men stepped forward with a moving tail, and said in a very clear voice, "Dear visitors to the tower, I am Kutcher, and the Blackblade Tribe welcomes your visit. ”
In the voice of the snake man, Ruilai got out of the car first, and then Said walked down unhurriedly, his eyes turned over the snake people, and he nodded slightly in his heart.
The Black Blade Tribe is one of several large Sea Clan tribes in Misty Island, and it is also directly related to the Sea Clan base camp in the deep sea, and it can be regarded as one of the Sea Clan's garrisons in Misty Island, and its strength is still very good.
In addition to Kutcher, there are also two great knights among these snake people, and if you count those who are hired outside, or those who do not show up, you can see their strength.
A smile also appeared on Said's face, and he bowed his head and said, "Elder Kutcher, I'm Said Gas, I didn't say hello in advance, and I came a little presumptuous today. ”
Said Gas?
Including Kutcher, in the snake people's team, those few people in gorgeous robes, after a flash of expression in their eyes, some blue faces all showed some surprise.
The Sea Clan also has dealings with the forces of Misty Island, and naturally they will not be unfamiliar with the name of the "Eighth Disciple".
However, it is rumored that this person should be a pure gold rank, but now that I meet him, it is clearly a great knight rank!
During the Adamantite Rank, it is said that it blocked the attack of the Black Prince, and the words of the Great Knight Rank ......
Kutcher's thought flashed, and he quickly decided that since this was the "eighth disciple", it would be better to receive this one with the attitude of receiving the sixth disciple, and even the fourth and fifth disciples!
"It's Lord Seid, forgive me, who rarely walks around the city-state, and I can't recognize you. My lord, please, if there is anything, let's go to the council hall and talk about it in detail. "Although the old snake man is also a great knight, he treats Said with a rather respectful attitude.
The other two great knights on his left and right all nodded in acknowledgment, also very low.
Said smiled and nodded in response, and the group walked into the council chamber, but he was a little more wary in his heart...... The attitude of these three snake people of the Great Knight level seems to be a little excessive!
However, it may also be that he is too sensitive, perhaps because the Sea Clan's reverence for the Tower has always been like this, after all, whether it is the slaughter in the past, or even now, there will be crusades and suppressions from time to time, the Tower Warlock is no less deterrent to any Sea Clan than the Abyss Demon and the Hell Devil.
In the center of the chamber was a long stone table, with Syd at the top left, with Ray following him, the snake men on the right, and Kutcher on the right.
"Elder, we don't need to be too grandiose, I'm here to recruit a Sea Clan team for the fleet, and of course, if possible, I hope to have a warrior join my fleet. As soon as Said took his seat, he greeted the other side very bluntly.
"There must be no problem with the team, I will arrange the most elite team for the adults, as for the Warriors......" Kutcher's eyes looked at the two snake men.
"Yaka is willing to serve!" in the humming voice of one of the snake people, one hand slapped his chest hard, and the huge force made the hall tremble faintly.
"Mistress Said, it seems to be fine. This is the warrior of my clan, and he will lead the team to serve you. Just ......" as he spoke, Kutcher's voice paused slightly, and a hesitant look appeared on his face.
Said knew what he meant, and he understood the truth of business, and said with a faint smile: "I will satisfy you with the treatment of the Sea Clan warriors, but I also have a request, I hope that the warriors can sign a long-term agreement with me." In addition, within a year, I will also assemble a second fleet, and I may continue to trouble the elders at that time. ”
"There is no problem with this, it is also an honor for our Blackblade tribe to cooperate with adults for a long time. Kutcher immediately nodded in agreement, it was also a good thing to be able to cooperate with the disciples for a long time, at least much better than some domineering people who directly enslaved those sea tribes in the deep sea.
The general direction was no problem, and the two sides quickly discussed the details, and it didn't take long for the signing to be completed in the palace in the center of the tribe.
This palace is a sacred place for the Blackblade Tribe to worship the Tower, and signing a contract here will be witnessed by the Tower Spirit, which has the greatest binding force for the Sea Clan, and the same is true for the Tower Warlock.
After signing the contract and agreeing on the time, the carriage soon left the Blackblade Tribe.
Back in the city, he breaks up with Rylai at the trading market, and Syd walks around the city alone.
