Volume 5 The Return of the King 27 The East Window Incident
When I saw King's Harbour again, I felt like a world away, the small fishing village was gone, replaced by a larger town, and the buildings were no longer wooden houses and dirt roads, but the upright stone buildings completely concealed the traces of the fire that had been burned down in those years. From this point alone, the Kingdom of Stormwind is indeed reborn.
At their behest, I went to the port authority with a gift box and a thank you letter, and then went to the port admiralty to deliver the thank you letter to my superiors. When I walked out of the Admiralty gates, the feeling of aggrieved disgust just now was swept away. After completing this set, the first step back to the Kingdom of Stormwind is complete.
Then I bought a lot of good food and had it delivered to the boat, and when I went back I found the five guys waiting for me to come back. They're kind of cute.
That night, I also took the opportunity to come up with my own idea, which was to sell the ship for money, and then everyone split it up and went their separate ways. I thought they would have something else in mind, but when I said it, it was immediately unanimously approved.
This ship really shouldn't have been kept, and not just because it was a black ship. The people of the Brotherhood of Defia will definitely investigate if they can't see this ship, and if they really want to find it, they will definitely find it, and the cargo on this ship is very valuable, and the Brotherhood of Defia will definitely not give up. So...... Keeping the boat is a scourge.
And after selling him, you can find whoever you like to go to. And I also made it clear to them, it is best to go far away with the money, it is best to leave the Storm Kingdom, do business if you have brains, and buy some land to become a small landlord if you don't have brains, even if you store the gold separately and slowly spend enough for their living expenses for two or three generations. Of course, the five of them don't look like they have brains and can do business, nor do they look like the ones who are very frugal and housekeepers.
But I still made it clear to them, if you take the money, you will definitely go away, and it is better not to go to the Kingdom of Stormwind or places closely connected with the Kingdom of Stormwind, and go to the Dwarven Territory or Kurtilas. As for why I didn't recommend Stormgard, I think it's better to be kind.
They immediately slapped their chests and swore quite firmly. It's almost like saying that if you violate this oath, the sky will thunder and split.
So the next day, after counting all the goods, I took two people to look for a buyer, first to see how much the goods were worth, and then to find an agent to look at the ship, and the agent said to find someone to look at the goods and then estimate the price. But this intermediary fee is really high. Unwillingly, I went to two more intermediaries.
Although I was also in a hurry to get rid of it, after several intermediaries finished quoting the price, I found that the price could be two or three thousand gold coins!
Two or three thousand gold coins! In most villages, a family can save more than 20 silver coins a year, which is quite a lot of money. You can calculate how much a family has to save for a year.
Alas!
How so......
Or this is my fate, I am destined not to get more than 2,000 gold coins, and not only this money, but I will not get any money!
Yes, when I was still hesitating for more than two thousand gold coins...... Something happened!
Something is wrong!
When the four of us were about to go back to the ship to rest and prepare to ask again the next day, but when we got to the dock I saw from a distance that the dock was full of guards, and a bad feeling arose, so I asked the three of them not to come near me and go and see first. But when I looked this way, I saw that the guards were not surrounded by my ship!
Do you know how I felt when I saw this? Surprised and curious, I was full of questions. But I also know that there is absolutely no going back.
No matter what the outcome is, I can't go back now. And asking the people next to them is also unknowing.
In fact, the port was already nervous that afternoon, but I didn't pay attention, but when I saw this scene, I felt bad. When I found those three people, I said to the three of them, "Something happened! ”
The three of them were more shocked than me, and asked what was going on, but I don't know, but just looking at the performance of the people around me, I don't think it's that simple! After all, they're all Defia!
I said, "We may not be able to get that boat, it is important to save our lives!" ”
But looking at their faces, there is still a lot of unwillingness. I asked them, "Why did the other ships raid our ships without searching?" ”
The three of them didn't nod or shake their heads, but from their faces I could tell them they understood.
"Run!" I said, "Without this life, the money has nothing to do with you." ”
"Where are you going?" They asked me.
"You can't stay here anyway!" I said, "The two who were arrested should have confessed to what we were going to do." As I spoke, I flashed to the side, "Now hurry up and get out of the city while the city gate is not closed." Glancing around, "If you can't get out of the city tonight, it's only a matter of time before we are found out, and we have seen too many people today!" ”
The three of them listened to me and were ready to leave, but when I was asked, I told them I had something to do.
If I don't say this, maybe the three of them will be able to live if I don't say it, but when I said this, some of them showed a moment of surprise on their faces.
He blinked at me, and it was clearly suspicious!
After watching the three of them disappear into the street in the distance, I was about to go back to the boat to see if the horse had been found.
Sure enough, when I went back, the contents of the cabin were being carried out, and my horse was among them. I can imagine the look on the horse's face tonight when they count these things.
All the goods were taken to the harbor security office, and after walking around the outside, I found my way in, and I quickly found a place to lurk while they were still busy.
Even if it's too late, I'll have to find the cause of the matter, or I'll have to find a way to get the horse out.
That's the idea, it was really tossed in the middle of the night that night, and when the sheriff's office took it over, it was natural to find what was in the box.
In an instant, the whole courtyard exploded, and the people who opened the boxes were so frightened that they sat on the ground and did not dare to move, and everyone raised their weapons as if they were facing a great enemy. It was only after seeing that the horse was as quiet as a statue that they tried to get closer.
I don't dare to whistle here, because I may not be able to escape from the security office, and even if I do, there is a 100% chance that I will be caught. Now we can only take one step at a time.
But I thought it was strange, were they for this horse? I also visited and inspected it after boarding the ship in the Navy, didn't I say anything at the time?
They were relieved when they stuffed my horses back into the box, but they didn't know what to say when they saw the officers get together at once.
In the second half of the night, the officers went back first, while the guys who counted and handed over the items went back until the end. I wouldn't have been with them like that, so I took the opportunity to sneak inside the sheriff's office.
No one slept that night, but I got a message from Stormwind that asked for a thorough investigation of all the information on the ships that had come and gone from King's Port in the last month, and to find out who was suspicious.
And I couldn't be wrong about the object! It's the Brotherhood of Defia!
But I don't think they seem to have any evidence or what the Defia Brotherhood did to be investigated, and they just said that they would immediately hunt down the Defia in the city.
They didn't know what was going on when it came to the skeleton warhorse, so they agreed to interrogate us overnight tonight, and once again emphasized that we must strengthen the search and arrest the four of us.
Thinking about it, I felt like I had to go and change my clothes.
But when I came outside, I found that the city was full of guards, and it was my forte to evade pursuit, and even if they were blocked in the alley in this dark place, they would not be able to do anything to me.
But it's really hard to find the right clothes to wear tomorrow at this time, but the emperor paid off his painstaking efforts and really asked me to find a tailor's shop. The tailor got up in the middle of the night and went back to sleep after peeing, while I sneaked into his shop and began to search.
In fact, it is really difficult to search at this time, and the tailor must get up when the movement is big, but this black light is really impossible to pick.
When I heard the tailor snore slightly, I closed the door to his old man and turned on the lamp. I wasn't greedy either, and after getting two clothes, I hurried out of the house.
After changing my clothes, I found a corner and waited for the dawn, but the footsteps kept appearing and the sound was annoying. Finally, when the streets were crowded, I went to the tavern to inquire about the news, but I really didn't know what this group of people said, and said that something was wrong in Stormwind, that it was a military coup or something, and that the Brotherhood of Defia was going to sabotage.
Anyway, I had to say everything, and after I felt that I couldn't get valid information, I chose to leave temporarily, but when I returned to the sheriff's office to keep an eye on it, I saw the three unlucky people being carried in!
The five of them would have been able to come out of there alive.
