Chapter 170: An Unusual Chance Encounter
Black Pearl Harbor is located in the easternmost part of the province of Rand, is the first major outlet of the Holy Empire, the blue sea and the sky intersect in the distance, the magnificent waves rise and fall, the shouts of sailors, and the horn of the 10,000-ton ship are intertwined throughout the port, a prosperous scene is presented in front of people's eyes.
Two unpretentious carriages arrived at the harbor's carriage mooring, and a man in a white dress stepped out of the carriage at the head, and immediately a middle-aged servant saddled his horse and horse. Judging by his demeanor, he looks like a first-class nobleman in the empire, but unfortunately he does not wear a knighthood medal on his body, so it is difficult to really guess his identity.
He was followed by a group of maids, but all of them wore raccoon veils, and it was difficult to see their true faces. A couple of porters wanted to come over and see if they had any luggage to carry on.
Unfortunately, to their disappointment, this nobleman should have something like a space ring, and the group did not carry any luggage.
However, the middle-aged butler took two steps forward to stop them, and said extremely arrogantly: "Who of you knows where the Titani cruise ship is?!"
Seeing his unstoppable appearance, several porters didn't buy his account at all, and swaggered past him, without any intention of answering.
The butler's eyes were blazing, he didn't expect that even a few ordinary porters would dare to be so rude to him, and he immediately wanted to get angry, but unfortunately he thought of his master's orders, so he had to endure this evil breath.
"Whoever is willing to answer my question, I can reward him with two silver coins!" he pulled out two silver coins from his bosom, and deliberately tossed them twice in order to attract the attention of several porters.
His action immediately made several porters who were originally disdainful come back, and everyone's eyes showed eagerness, and they scrambled to ask: "I don't know what you want to ask, master, the little one must know everything." ”
Their changes made the middle-aged butler's mood immediately become very good, because he had been away from the world for too long, he had almost forgotten the role of money, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: What the master said is really good, gold coins are the faith of these people!
After glancing back and forth at a few porters, he finally pointed to one of the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys, and said contemptuously: "You answer my question, and the others can get out!"
The other porters had no choice but to scold and leave, they couldn't afford to provoke these lackeys of the noble lord, even if they were scolded, they could only endure it silently.
"To answer my first question first, where is the Titani cruise ship?"
"The second giant ship from the north is. The young man was afraid that the butler did not understand, and pointed to the location of the Titani with his finger.
The middle-aged butler nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask, "Second question, how long has this ship been used, and is the captain also a decent person?"
"It's a new ship! It's only been used for less than two years, and it must be very safe!" Then the young man made an exaggerated expression, gestured with both hands to the huge ship, and then explained: "Look at such a large ship, it is estimated that it is worth no less than a million gold coins, and the captain is definitely a decent person! It is said that he is still a baron of the Empire!"
When he spoke of the baron, there was a look of reverence in his eyes, and it was obvious that this ordinary fifth-class title was a very remarkable existence in his eyes.
The middle-aged butler laughed twice and said very proudly: "It's just a little baron, but our family is a duke!"
Seeing the disbelief on the young porter's face, his boasting interest dropped a lot, and he handed the two silver coins to the porter's hand, waved his hand and said, "This is a reward for you, take them and get out!"
Although he was insulted by the middle-aged housekeeper, the young man was not angry at all, but left with the silver coin in gratitude.
The middle-aged butler also hurried back to the young nobleman's side, and the pride on his face was finally retracted, replaced by a respectful look.
"I've inquired clearly, just count the second ship from the north. And it was a new ship, it had only been in use for less than two years, and the captain was also a decent man, supposedly still a baron. ”
The young nobleman nodded slightly, and said with a faint smile: "It's rare that you asked so carefully, it's hard work......" Then he took out a pocket watch and looked at the time, before continuing: "It's almost time, let's get ready to board the ship." ”
This young nobleman is none other than David Mo, who disappeared in ** some time ago, and the middle-aged butler is the saint-level fire carving beast Finn, and the news of their departure is only known to Bruwe alone, and he asked him to buy a few tickets on his behalf.
Today, Bruwe has officially assumed the position of the governor of the city management army, although his cultivation is low, but because of David Mo's recommendation, Yale XIII finally approved this candidate.
And Bruwe has always been cautious and meticulous in doing things, and after asking how many retinues David Mo was going to bring, he spent nearly 10,000 gold coins to order four luxurious private rooms.
Originally, he was ready to resign and continue to follow his benefactor, but David Mo refused, for the simple reason that only by staying in the Holy Empire could Bruwe realize his life ambitions.
The night before leaving, the middle-aged black-faced man saw off his benefactor at No. 15 Langning Street, and after drinking two full bottles of spirits, he wept very emotionally, and was finally carried away by his servants. The scene was sad and sad, and now that I think about it, David Mo still can't help but sigh.
The group slowly walked towards the Titani, and met two women wearing scarves on their heads on the way, because they were in a hurry, the two women actually collided with David Mo who was walking in front.
The two women said sorry twice in a panic, and when they lowered their heads, David Mo inadvertently saw half of the face of one of them, and his heart couldn't help beating twice rapidly, because it was so beautiful!
Finn said two words of dissatisfaction to show his loyalty, and David Mo shook his head and laughed twice, he didn't mind about it, and the beauty crashed into his arms, which seemed to him a good thing.
The closer you are to the cruise ship, the more you can feel the magnificence of the Titani, the side of the ship is about five zhang high, about 18 zhang wide, about 40 zhang long, the whole cruise ship has four floors, and the huge hull is like a small island.
The entire body of the cruise ship is wrapped in a layer of copper skin, and a layer of gilt gold light flashes on it, obviously blessed by the spell of a diamond-level great magician, to resist the wind and waves on the sea.
A long staircase descended from the ship, and the crowd of people ready to board the ship was already in line, and six ticket inspectors were carefully checking the authenticity of each ticket, after all, every position on the ship was worth a lot of money.
David Mo looked around a few times, and was surprised to find that the girl who had just bumped into him was two positions ahead of them, and it was obvious that the two of them were also preparing to board the cruise ship.
The line slowly moved forward, and when it was the turn of the two girls, they spoke a few words to the ticket inspector, and then the ticket inspector kept shaking his head, and a moment later, the two men were kicked out of the queue.
The two girls were obviously a little panicked, and exchanged a few words, one of them was dressed like a maid, and the dress on the other girl was much more expensive, and it was the master and servant.
However, David Mo no longer cared about this, because it was already his turn to check the tickets, and Finn took out the tickets for the four luxury suites, and the attitude of the ticket inspector instantly became respectful.
He pointed to the seven people, including David Mo, and gestured that there were eight of them in total, and the tickets for the Deluxe Suites could each allow four people to board the ship, and these four tickets were obviously more than enough.
At this moment, a group of cavalry dressed in local military uniforms appeared in the port, led by an officer with a sharp eye scanning the entire port, holding a drawing in his hand, apparently looking for something according to the drawing.
Then his right hand waved slightly, and the cavalry formation quickly formed into eight squads, and began to check the crowd in the port one by one, and the Titanni was also affected, and the ticket inspector had to temporarily stop checking the tickets.
The two girls looked more and more anxious, and looked up at David Mo and the others who had already stepped on the ladder of the boat, and the girl who looked like the master suddenly shouted: "The gentleman in the white dress, can I talk to you about something?"
There was some anxiety in her voice, but it didn't attract the attention of those around her, because many people's attention was already focused on the cavalry.
The girl shouted twice in a row, and David Mo, who was wearing a white dress, stopped, turned to look at the veiled girl, pointed to herself, and said with some curiosity: "Me?"
The girl nodded hurriedly and pleaded, "Can you come closer?" I want to ask you for something......
David Mo hesitated slightly, then turned to Fain and the others and ordered, "You guys go to the room first, and I'll go over by myself." Then he went down the stairs to hear what the girl was trying to do.
The two girls hurriedly approached his place, and the girl dressed as a maid was the first to speak: "Sir, we were in a hurry when we came out, so we forgot to book the ferry ticket, just now it seems that you have four tickets for luxury suites, so we beg you to take us up with us......"
David Mo's ticket was enough for sixteen people to get on the boat, so it wasn't difficult to take the two of them with him, but they had never met and met each other, and he didn't seem to have a reason to do such a good thing as a good person.
So he waved his hand slowly and said with a light smile: "I have high requirements for accommodation, so I'm sorry, I can't take you on board." ”
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave, but saw another girl panicking, and hurriedly said: "We won't occupy your room, as long as we can take us up! I can give you gold coins! Take the two of us up, I am willing to pay you 10,000 gold coins!"
Shocked by the number she suddenly said, David Mo carefully observed the two girls' eyes, and found that the maid occasionally looked back at the group of cavalry that was approaching, and a flash of realization flashed in his heart. (To be continued.) )
