Chapter Seventy-Three: Great Wealth
This time, Li Ang and the others were lucky not to encounter the storm again.
Ten days later, Li Ang and the others finally saw the trace of land in the distance.
"Great, it's finally here, it's Middle-earth!" Salander said, pointing to the land ahead.
Leon nodded and said, "I'll go ahead and have a look!"
As he spoke, Leon unleashed the dragon warrior transformation and flew towards the land.
Flying all the way, Leon saw mountain peaks, rivers, endless meadows, dense forests, and finally, Leon saw a huge port.
The harbor had a seawall thousands of meters long and a circular sheltered harbor in which countless ships came and went, carrying large quantities of cargo.
Leon flew back to the fleet and guided Salander and the others to sail the fleet to the port.
Leon's fleet was so large that as soon as he approached that port, he alarmed the navy in the port.
Soon, more than a dozen warships surrounded Leon's fleet as if they were facing a great enemy.
The first officer shouted in lingua franca and asked, "We are the Freeport Navy, where did you come from the fleet, and what is the purpose of coming to us?"
Li Ang raised his voice and said: "I am Viscount Li Ang of the Western Continent Shenluo Empire, and this time I led the fleet to your country to conduct trade, and there is no malice!"
Hearing that Li Ang was a nobleman of the HRE Empire, the officer breathed a sigh of relief.
The free alliance between the HRE Empire and Middle-earth is an alliance, and since Leon is a nobleman of the HRE Empire, it should not be unfavorable to them.
Soon, Leon's fleet slowly sailed into Freeport under the watchful eye of the Freeport Navy.
Then, Leon led Salander and the others off the ship and set foot on the land of Middle-earth.
The officer from before came over, gave a knightly salute to Li Ang, and said: "Viscount Li Ang, welcome to Freeport, I am the naval commander of Freeport, Hirellell, the goods you bring can be sold directly to our port office, we can give you fifty percent of the market price, of course, you can also take your own time!"
Li Ang thought for a while and said, "I don't have that much time to sell the goods slowly, I can consider selling them directly to your port office, but I must ensure that I don't lose money!"
Hirel hurriedly said, "Of course, please follow me to the port office!"
With that, Hirel took Leon and the others to the port office near the port and found the person in charge of the port office.
At this time, Lynn came over and said to Leon: "Master, leave the bargaining matter to me, I am very good at this!"
Leon nodded, and let Lynn and the head of the port authority fight each other.
Lynn really didn't brag, he really had a knack for bargaining, and in the end, he raised the selling price to 80% of the market price.
Soon, Leon signed a contract for the sale with the head of the port authority.
After Li Ang sold all the goods on hand, he actually obtained tens of millions of gold coins.
Hyrel next to him had never seen such a huge transaction, and his eyes widened in horror.
The port authority couldn't get that many gold coins for a while, so it had to urgently transfer them from other places.
Li Ang considered that he would develop Selena Island in the future, so he only asked for 9 million gold coins, and the remaining 1 million gold coins were all used to purchase various daily commodities such as grain and farm tools.
Soon, the thirty-four ships brought by Leon were filled with all kinds of supplies.
Leon asked Salander to lead the fleet to transport these supplies back to Selena Island first to help Mario build a new territory.
With the strength of the Salander fleet, ordinary pirates can't help him, so Leon is not worried that something will happen to them.
And Leon himself took Selena and stayed in the Freedom League to travel around.
In order to experience the customs of the Freedom Alliance, Leon did not choose to ride the Demon Eagle King from the sky, but hired a carriage and sat in a comfortable carriage with Selena, enjoying the natural scenery along the way.
The Liberal Union is very commercially developed and has already had the rudiments of industry, but it has not yet developed to the extent of destroying the natural environment.
Moreover, Freeport is located on the equator of this world, and although it is already winter in the HRE Empire, it is still warm and pleasant.
Along the way, lush trees can be seen everywhere, and the air smells of grass and earth.
Leon and Selena stop and go, like an aristocratic outing.
However, this leisurely life did not last long, and just as Leon and Selena were about to leave Freeport's sphere of influence, a group of black-clad masked men suddenly rushed out from both sides of the road, surrounding Leon's carriage.
"Boy, hand over your belongings to those who know you, or we will kill you!" the leader of the black-clad masked man shouted viciously, brandishing a scimitar.
Li Ang looked at the black-clothed masked leader, and suddenly said with a cold smile: "Commander Hirel, when did you become a thief?"
It turned out that Leon relied on his spiritual power to reconnoiter and recognize the true face of the leader of the black-clothed masked men, who was none other than Hirellell, the commander of the Freeport Navy.
I saw that Hyrel was shocked, and then snorted coldly and said: "I didn't expect to be recognized by you, in this case, you have only one way to die!"
Li Ang shook his head and said, "You are wrong, it should be that you have only one way to die!"
As he spoke, Leon waved his hand and summoned five wind elemental warriors, causing them to rush towards the black-clad masked men around them.
Then Leon condensed a large number of blood blades and flew towards Hyrel and the others like machine guns.
In the blink of an eye, the black-clothed masked men beside Hirel were shot to the ground one by one, letting out a series of screams.
"Damn, you have such strength!" Seeing this, Hyrel was shocked.
He thought that Leon was a fat sheep before, but he didn't expect Leon to be a vicious wolf, and the huge deficit shocked him.
Soon, all the black-clad masked men around Hirel had been knocked to the ground and forcibly refined into blood golems by Leon.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Herrell quickly turned around and fled.
But Selena's mental shock stunned him, and then Leon also refined him into a blood puppet.
"See the master!" Herrell and the others quickly struggled to get up from the ground and respectfully knelt down in front of Leon.
Li Ang looked at Hyrel coldly and said, "You usually don't do this kind of thing, right?"
Hirel hurriedly said: "Master, we haven't done this kind of thing before, this time it's really because you have too much wealth in your hands, and we are overwhelmed by money for a while, so we will attack you without opening our eyes, and I ask the master to forgive me!"
Li Ang's face paleled slightly, and he said: "Okay, you remember not to do this again in the future, a gentleman loves money, and he takes it in a good way!"
"Yes!" Herrell and the others hurriedly agreed.
Leon waved his hand, ready to let Hirel leave.
Suddenly, Herrell said, "Master, I'm afraid that the matter of the huge amount of money in your hands has already been known to the people in the dark, and someone may come to deal with you soon!"
"Oh, the man in the dark?" said Leon's heart.
Hayreel said: "To be exact, it should be the people of the Dark Council, our Thieves' Guild in Freeport is a peripheral organization of the Dark Council, and it is difficult to hide any disturbances in Freeport, and the master can't hide from them about the huge deals!"
Li Ang nodded abruptly and said, "I see, I didn't expect that the hand of that Dark Council was so long, and it actually had power in the Freedom Alliance?"
Hirel said: "Report to the master, the Dark Council does have a huge influence in the Freedom Alliance, we soldiers dare not provoke them easily, the master must be careful of them, it is best to change the identity in disguise!"
Leon nodded and said, "Okay, I know, thank you for the reminder, you should return to Freeport first, and then Salander will bring people to trade, remember to help them get the best price!"
"Yes, then we will retire first!" Hirel replied and turned away with the other men in black.
Leon pondered for a while, but did not change his identity, but continued to take Selena forward in the carriage.
However, after this robber attack, the coachman was already frightened to death, and said that he would not dare to drive Leon anymore.
Leon had no choice but to give him a few gold coins, buy the carriage directly, and then drive the carriage forward with Selena.
The Liberal Alliance is a loose alliance of a large number of city-states united, each with its own sphere of influence, and between the city-states, there are some places that do not matter, often a sinister place where thieves are rampant.
Soon, Leon and Selena left Freeport's sphere of influence and entered a non-relenting region.
At this moment, another group of black-clad masked men rushed from the side of the road and surrounded Leon's carriage.
However, the black-clothed masked man who appeared this time was not a kind of goods that could be easily dealt with like Hirel.
I saw that the first person was wearing a black cloak, holding a black staff, and black magic was lingering on his body, and he was actually a dark spellcaster of the transcendent level.
And the dozen or so black-clothed masked people next to him were all muscles tangled, and their bodies were full of surging dark fighting energy, and they were obviously masters of the transcendent level.
I saw that the dark spellcaster said with a sneer: "Boy, you are Viscount Li Ang from the HRE Empire, you will die when you meet us, but if you don't resist obediently, I will let you die a little easier!"
Li Ang snorted coldly and said, "If you want to kill me, I'm afraid you don't have that ability yet!"
As he spoke, Leon made a gesture to Selena behind him.
Suddenly, Selena blasted a spiritual blast at the dark spellcaster.
And Leon also burst into a roar, casting a thunderbolt strike to increase his speed to the extreme, and rushed towards the dark spellcaster.
