The number of ships of the Tulip family, compared to the prosperous dìdū wharf, which has a first-class throughput on the mainland, is not the largest in terms of quantity, but the problem is that this fleet is still too eye-catching. It can be said that if it were not for the need to meet the triumph of the Nanyang Expeditionary Fleet in history, the river would have been widened many times, and it would have been difficult for such a large ship to enter the dìdū directly from the waterway.

And secondly, it is "attributed" to the dazzling and eye-catching flame tulip flag on the ship.

The huge fleet actually occupies the river, and even berths at the wharf for too long, and the original wharf is extremely crowded with merchant ships coming and going every rì, and it is of course crowded to be occupied by such a large fleet of sea vessels at once. However, for the sake of this tulip flag, no one dares to provoke it.

Under the supervision of the officials and soldiers of the Dìdū Public Security Bureau, the huge fleet began to unload the goods, the huge and heavy boxes were carried down from the large ships, and the warriors of the Tulip family who were heavily armed around were on strict guard, and Xiao Zack personally supervised the scene, and mobilized a hundred carts to carry them back and forth for two days before all the ships were unloaded. And at this time, if you are careful, you will find that an official of the security department in charge of the inspection at the dock is already sweating profusely!

Since the day of the coup, the Solomon family used merchant ships to quietly transport a group of archers into the city, and after the coup, the docks in and out of dìdū have been closely checked. However, fortunately, Du Wei has a good personal relationship with the current Sheriff's Office Commander Cammisilo (Cammiiro is about to step down as Sheriff's Department Commander and take up his post in the military, and he is happy to sell Du Wei a favor before leaving office). Therefore, the inventory of these cargoes of the Tulip family is not rigorous. I just randomly drew two or three boxes of goods and opened them to see that they were not prohibited weapons, or some dangerous people smuggled in, and they were released.

But...... It is worth mentioning the detail that at the time of the inventory. It's in one of the cargo holds on the ship. In front of the official of the sheriff's office, little Zach opened a box at random, and as soon as the box was opened, the official took a deep breath when he left, and then exclaimed: "Almighty God!!"

The box was golden. The reflection on his face almost blinded the poor fellow! At this moment, the greed and surprise in the human xìng were unmistakable.

Little Zach immediately closed the box, then took out a gold nugget about the size of half a brick from his sleeve, stuffed it into the official's hand, and said lightly: "This lord." How to write on the paper, how to say it when you go back. You've got it in your heart. ”

This man only felt that there was a heavy weight in his hand, such a large piece of gold...... Even being an inspector at the dock is a fat difference. It's such a big piece of gold. But it was enough to cover his income for a year or two! He laboriously stuffed this heavy gold into his bosom and put it close to his body. Then he hurriedly nodded to the Grand Steward of Duke Tulip.

In this way, the twenty boatloads of gold, silver, and jewelry, on the documents of the inspectors of the Dìdū Public Security Bureau, recorded: Nanyang souvenirs.

As a result, the inspector and the records official each received a sum of thousands of gold coins, and the head of the Sheriff's Office, Lord Camichiro's mansion, sent a box of "Nanyang souvenirs" to the Tulip family that night.

Of course, Du Wei didn't expect to be able to really hide this kind of concealment from everyone, after all, after a long time, it would still be circulated. It's just that he needs to have a legal "entry procedure" for his "windfall".

As for letting others know that they are rich, so what? Does anyone dare to fight their own ideas? Don't forget, in addition to being a powerful duke, he is also a magician of a continental civilization!

Sure enough, a few days later, there was a buzz in the dìdū, and a "news" spread that it was said that Duke Tulip's Nanyang maritime trading fleet had dug a huge gold mine on a small island in the South Seas......

For this kind of gossip, Du Wei didn't bother to care. He's been busy, very busy these days. To his surprise, the Duke, who had never had any respect for the gods, had actually gone to the temple of Dìdū for three days in a row!

On the first day, when Du Wei went out and ordered his men to "set up the temple", the men almost thought that they had misheard—right? Our lord is a notoriously disrespectful fellow to the gods, and he actually wants to go to the temple?

And after arriving at the temple, Du Wei directly asked people to go in and report: Duke Tulip, ask to see the Pope!

Not to mention the fact that Duke Tulip was notoriously disrespectful to the temple - when the Northwest Temple wanted to set up a religious office, the clergy did not suffer less than Du Wei, so there was really no friendship in the temple towards this Tulip Duke.

The rest of the gang is completely confusing.

The Pope immediately sent someone out and politely invited Duke Tulip in. Then, Du Wei stayed in the temple until it was dark.

After that, the Duke ran to the temple for three days, and every day he begged to see His Majesty the Pope, and stayed in the temple from morning to night, and did not know what to talk about in it.

Du Weiping was very kind to his subordinates, and the personal guards who were curious and bold couldn't help but ask their boss, while Du Wei grinned: Your lord and I decided to take refuge in the light of the gods, and from then on devout to serve the gods and be an honest believer.

As soon as these words came out, everyone absolutely didn't believe it, in their opinion, it was possible to turn the world upside down, and it was absolutely impossible for this Duke to believe in God.

On the fourth day, Du Wei no longer went out, he locked himself in the study, and then called Hussein, Rodriguez, and Miss Nicole, Queen Medusa, into the study. Then he commanded that no one should be disturbed. A few people stayed in the study for a whole day.

At the same time, a strange thing happened in the palace.

He never goes out all year round, the religious leader of the Roland Continent, the leader of the god jīng, His Majesty the Pope. I actually came to the palace in person. Ask to meet with the Regent!

A few days ago, for the sake of the southern snow disaster relief, the temple deliberately lost the face of the royal family, and the relationship between the two sides was already extremely tense, and now His Majesty the Pope came to see the regent for what?

The news was less than half a day. It was spread all over the core *** powerful figures in Dìdū, especially several important ministers and bigwigs of the empire, and they also got the news.

After all, the meeting between the actual ruler of the empire and the leader of the empire's jīng god must have something going on. Otherwise, the two of them are both rì rational characters, so don't they have anything to meet and chat?

And then, according to some news from the palace. His Majesty the Pope and His Royal Highness the Prince Regent had a full afternoon of confidential conversations, after His Majesty had left the palace that evening. His Royal Highness the Regent was obviously a little tired and weird, and he didn't know what had affected His Royal Highness the Regent's mood. Let this Highness that night. They all slept in their own study, sleepless all night - there was a concubine of His Royal Highness who thought he was very favored. Relying on his own favor, he probably felt that he might be the future queen and princess, so he couldn't help but be a little arrogant, originally the regent promised to go to her place to spend the night that night, but the pigeon was released, this woman was probably a little unhappy, and she was actually pampered and arrogant, and she ran to the regent's study to be coquettish.

But what this beauty never expected was that Prince Chen, who was gentle and fond of her, was furious that night! In a fit of rage, she ordered to call the court warriors, and in front of the guards and court attendants, she whipped the woman dozens of whips, and then ordered someone to throw her out of the palace directly!

This time, everyone knows: His Royal Highness is in a very bad mood!!

For the rest of the day, His Royal Highness seemed to behave in a very strange manner, locking himself in his room and not allowing anyone to disturb him, and even his most trusted personal guard was frightened by the deep murderous aura on the Regent's face.

Finally...... What happened?

After another day, the regent seemed to become more and more manic, and his mood was extremely unstable, and he even ran out of the room alone in the middle of the night, barefoot, and drove away the attendants and guards who followed him, and ran alone to the palace under the "white pagoda".

Then, the ruler of the Empire, considered the wisest young monarch of the empire for generations, sat on the cold ground under the White Tower on this cold night, with his brows tightly locked, barefoot, and in light clothes, and sat alone all night!

All the guards, under his strict orders, were not allowed to come near him and stood at a distance.

And the regent sat all night until dawn, when the sun rose in the morning, Prince Chen, who was extremely tired, finally calmed down, he stood up, walked under the white tower, stretched out his hand, and stroked the white sè marble on the wall of the white tower, and suddenly whispered to himself: "Your Majesty Aragon, you spent countless thousands of years ago to build this white tower and leave this powerful magic array, is it just to meet today's situation?"

Well, yes, it must be. At that time, the continent had been unified, under the leadership of His Majesty the great Aragon, the army of the Roland Empire was invincible, on the continent, there was no existence that could threaten the empire, and there was no threat in the universe, in this case, Aragorn left such a giant magic array that cost the empire countless financial resources and manpower, and that was to defend against the enemy from where?

Could it be the North......

Thinking of the content of the secret conversation between the Pope and himself, Prince Chen's brows tightened.

If it is just a simple pope's one-sided statement, maybe Prince Chen may not believe it.

This is very normal, and how can we just talk about such a major matter and believe it? It's like thinking that now the Vatican pope suddenly went to see the president of the United States and said, "God gave me a dream, I know that in three years the aliens will invade the earth on a large scale, and now you should quickly order the whole country to be ready for war." "If that's the case, maybe people will think the Pope is crazy.

Similarly, Prince Chen would not believe this kind of thing casually. But after all, thinking of the recent frozen forest, a large number of demonic beasts suddenly rushed out, which had never happened in the empire for thousands of years.

Moreover, in addition to the Pope's words, in fact, there is an iron law within the royal family of the Roland Empire, which has been passed down from generation to generation! That is, "Under no circumstances shall the magic array of dìdū be abandoned!!" Every generation of emperors even has to invest new financial resources to repair and even improve this magic array, and even the most mediocre emperor abides by this iron law.

What's more, regarding the northern part of the continent, beyond the extreme north of the frozen forest, there are also some outcasts...... This legend, on the Roland Continent, is completely unknown to ordinary people.

However, Prince Chen knew that in the royal family, there were naturally the most secret and precious documents handed down from ancient times, although they were only vague records of a few words, but when taken together, a vague guess could be drawn.

And the visit of the Pope of the temple also brought some ancient documents that have been preserved in the temple for an unknown number of years, all of which are reminding the young monarch: all this is true, it really happened!

In the north of the continent, there is a group of ferocious enemies, much more powerful than the grass people and the Northwest Army!

"At this moment, I hope that it is my brother who succeeded in the coup. Standing under the rising sun, Prince Chen gently stroked the white tower, and said in a low voice: "What a heavy burden......"

And it was also after dawn on this day, in the morning, that the military sent an urgent military intelligence report, which was personally written by the commander of the Rostock regiment of the Northern Storm Regiment
