Chapter 542: Yalan Castle
It took about an hour and a half for the procession to finally arrive at the port of Yalan Fort from the sea.
It doesn't look as big as the original Port of Lewis City, but it's better than the crowds...... Anyway, there were a lot more people than I had seen in another port more than twenty years ago, and there were more merchant ships.
"Your Highness, what should we do next? Tell the sailors to ask their Chamber of Commerce to lease us a large merchant ship?"
"Let me think about ......"
In his thoughts, Sean is still changing his habits for the past two months.
Because I followed others before, I was probably lazy for two months under the hospitality of the alchemists of the Kserk Country, and now that I have come back, everything has become my own decision.
After all, it is a prince, even General Marlowe or Commander Melsusa, including these witches around him, will wait for his own orders before acting!
Think about it.
"I advise you not to deal with those merchants, they have little credibility and are mercenary......" said Lucille, who was beside him before Sean could give an order.
As the prince's mentor, she was certainly the only one who dared to speak out beyond her authority.
"It's the prince's business, what are you doing as a wizard?" said Mi'er, dissatisfied.
"Oh, yes. As a member of this group, I can also have an opinion, and in terms of identity, I am the mentor of your prince, shouldn't you use an honorific title when you see me?" Lucille looked at the other smugly.
These two are really ......
At first, they didn't like each other because of a battle, but I didn't expect it to continue until now.
I remember that when I was in a swamp town more than 20 years ago, Mi'er didn't expect Lucille, who was still a doll, to use magic, and she was accidentally left behind...... This blow has led to a grudge between the two for more than 20 years, but the status is still going back and forth around him!
"Alright, don't make a noise!" Sean said suddenly, which made the two of them shut up.
It's understandable that Lucher doesn't like Lucas, after all, she has never been in business, and Lucas is a relatively normal businessman among businessmen, as for that bit of mercenary and opportunistic words, many businessmen are the same, otherwise they can't live.
The soldiers with Jagon themselves are not worried that he will make a bad deal, or else this sea trade will not be done!
It's just that......
Sean looked at the group of navies who had come ashore behind him.
Now there are only these thirty people left around him, and many people have been scattered by the big waves, even Melsusa......
If they go back like this, what will happen to the other soldiers? It may take half a month to get back to Dansu Harbor, and if the other people are blown to some uninhabited island or other place, then the best opportunity will be missed.
And returning to the capital like this will be criticized by his two younger brothers and sisters for a long time......
"We can't just go back like that. β
"Huh?" several people around him looked at him at the same time.
"The others haven't been found yet, I can't come out with so many soldiers and only thirty people will go back in the end, even if the extermination of pirates is victorious this time, it will be a failure to lose so many soldiers. Sean said firmly.
"Indeed, maybe they're stuck in some places like us. β
Frelia, who had been the leader of an organization, understood her feelings best.
"Then I wouldn't recommend consulting with the merchant, and they wouldn't send so many people out to find our people. Lucille insisted that she not deal with Lucas.
"Instead of looking for them, we're looking for the city's administrators. Sean said.
It seems that he can only ask Kselke to help him find the whereabouts of the navy on the sea as his own prince.
Just as Sean and the others were deciding where they were going, a group of private troops came over in the distance.
Private armies are ...... in any country
In the past, Sean didn't say this publicly because he was an aristocrat, but in fact, when he was in the town, his escorts were already considered private troops.
And the most obvious thing about these people is that the discipline is not so strict, and the clothes they wear are more casual, in addition to these two points, their combat effectiveness varies from person to person, some of them are old mercenaries, in fact, their ability is not worse than that of the regular army, but it is these people who are more difficult to serve......
Because the team on the opposite side came over, the remaining forces of the navy on Sean's side all raised their weapons again to be on guard.
"Don't, don't do it. We're not here to fight!" said a well-dressed man at the forefront of the private army.
I wanted to step forward, but I was stopped by Marlowe and Mierke.
"Who are you?"
"I'm sorry, General. I am the owner of this port worker, my name is Lucas, Lucas Cook...... I heard that the prince of Jagon had come here, so I personally came to greet His Royal Highness. β
He looks like he is already in his forties, not fat or thin, but a little middle-aged rich but with a very healthy complexion, and there are no extra embellishments on his hands.
Lucas?
Sean stepped forward curiously when he heard the other party's name, followed by Frelia and Lucille.
This is Lucas more than twenty years later.
It's the first time I've heard the other person's last name.
I remember that he didn't say that his family was an ordinary traveling businessman, when did he get his surname!
Now that you have money, are you ready to add some status to yourself?
"How do you know who I am?" said Sean, stopping Marlowe and the others from asking him.
It is said that the current Lucas has become this port...... No, the workers just now said that they were the biggest businessmen in the city, but they didn't look ostentatious in their clothes, and if he hadn't taken the initiative to stand up and say that he was Lucas Shaun, he wouldn't have recognized it, after all, it was more than twenty years later.
The appearance of the young businessman had long since changed, and the same self was just one of the people that the other party had met over the years, and although his appearance had not changed much, he still couldn't see it, and just replied with a smile on his face.
"I have just heard the sailors who came back say that they had rescued a group of Jagon's navy from the sea, including a general, and then a man with the sun coat of arms. β
Sean glanced at the thing around his neck.
Indeed, there is this......
It is a symbol of the royal family of Jagon, and was given by the Sun King at his ChΓ©ng RΓ©n ceremony.
"Some time ago we heard that the prince of Jagon was going to lead a fleet against pirates, so ...... "I won't mention his name until now, Lucas has become more and more like a seasoned merchant over the years.
"You're smart. β
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince, for the compliment. That's right, Your Highness. I have already informed the lord of Yalan Castle and the local national alchemist captain, please come and rest in my house. β
Now that the other party already knows his identity, it becomes a matter of two countries.
No matter how shrewd Lucas is, he can't be the master, and he must let all the people in this city come together......
"Let's go, then. Sean smiled.
"I will arrange all the soldiers of Your Highness, please rest assured. Lucas did not forget to add.
Glanced at Lucille.
Looks like she has to go where she doesn't want to go!
After Sean left, a group of boatmen and sailors gathered together.
"That man is the prince of Jagon!!"
"That Prince Sean ......"
"Oh my God, what did I see today!"
