Chapter 351: The Mainland's Neglected Islands (1/3)

After a while, Lawson piloted Sky No. 2 to an altitude of five thousand meters above Moby Dick City.

As you can see through the telescope, the city is quite large, with a radius of more than 6 kilometers.

The buildings in the city are not bad, although they are not as clean as the Crescent Collar, but they are much better than the Silver Moon Castle.

But there is no lord's house in the city, and there is no god-given light.

There are several temples, but they all look relatively dilapidated, and they are far less glamorous than those of other city temples.

Heya Jiali carefully introduced.

"The archipelago was only included in the Golden Land 300 years ago. Although my father was the lord of the Flying Fish Islands, he didn't like it very much, so he only sent the governor to manage it on his behalf. ”

"Look, that big courtyard in the center of the city is the Governor's Palace."

Rosen looked through binoculars and soon saw the so-called Doge's Palace.

The area is quite large, covering an area of about 1 Laban, and the stone buildings with blue roofs and white walls in the courtyard are also quite tall, but the exterior walls are obviously dilapidated, the ground is obviously dirty, and the corners are overgrown with weeds, which looks like a depression with lack of maintenance.

In contrast, there were several mansions in the city of the size of the Doge's Palace, which were clean and beautiful, and apparently well maintained.

"The Governor's Mansion doesn't seem very decent."

Heya Jiali also looked puzzled.

"It's weird indeed. Because the work of the Governor's Palace does not seem to be bad, it pays a fixed amount of 360,000 crowns worth of taxes every year, and has never been in arrears for many years. ”

Rosen had read the records and knew that taxes were not paid in cash, but in kind.

Because it is an archipelago, it is all seafood, such as fresh fish, pearls, coral, sea vegetables, and so on.

One of the most famous is the archipelago specialty gold pearl, which is very large, the size of a child's fist, and the color is as bright as gold, which is not only an excellent ornament, but also a cherished alchemy material after grinding into powder.

A gold pearl of ordinary quality can be sold for more than 800 crowns in the north, and although Angry Waves City is close to the water, it is certainly not cheap.

Rosen asked again, "Are there any nobles on the island?"

Heyagari shook her head.

"There are large families that are natively noble, but none of the previous Duke of Storm has acknowledged this in official documents. So, there is no aristocracy. ”

Rosen somewhat understood.

"Then the Doge's Mansion is just a decoration. With a tax of 360,000 kroner, Moby Dick's native magnates gained autonomy over Moby Dick. ”

In other words, 360,000 is not a tax, it is a tribute.

And with such a high degree of autonomy, I am afraid that it will not easily recognize itself as a great lord descended from heaven.

He counted the number of mansions, and there were six.

There is a high probability that the top big families in Moby Dick City are the six, and they have divided the interests of the Flying Fish Islands and are the actual rulers of the islands.

If you want to gain actual control of Moby Dick City, you must suppress these six families, otherwise you will become a puppet in name only, just like the Governor's Palace, and you can't do anything.

So, to what extent should it be suppressed?

Rosen thought about it carefully and came to a conclusion.

"Let's see the strength of the other party."

"If the strength is strong, discuss it well, and use gentle means to grind slowly. If the strength pulls the hips, then it's no wonder to me! ”

I'm glad I was well prepared, otherwise it would have been a bit tricky.

Seeing that he was silent, Heya Jiali suddenly showed guilt on her face: "Brother~ Are you disappointed?"

Rosen was stunned, turned his head to see Heya Jiali's expression, and immediately laughed: "Disappointed? Why? ”

Heya Jiali was a little sad: "Because this territory is very bad, Jiali has become a drag on you." ”

Rosen raised his hand to grab her palm and smiled: "No, no, no, Jiali has never been a drag on me, and this territory is very good, like a bright pearl." ”

"At the moment, the pearl has fallen into the dust and has been contaminated with some dust, just blow the dust away."

"Really?"

"Really."

Rosen raised his hand and touched Heya Jiali's face, and felt that he had to divert the princess's attention from hanging on himself all day.

Otherwise, she suffers from gains and losses all day long, worries too much, and she is tired and panicked.

So he changed the subject: "Do you want to learn to fly an airplane?" ”

Heya Jiali was stunned: "Ah, can I?" ”

"The two princes are fine, why can't Jiali? Come, I'll teach you. ”

The second prince is a high-level 15-star achievement, and Jiali is a high-level 17-star, which is more powerful than the prince.

Lawson stood up from the driver's seat, forced Heagari to sit in the driver's seat, and then leaned over slightly to help her buckle the X-strap.

After buckling the belt, he lifted Jiali's vast chest up by the way, which immediately made the latter's cheeks red, and made the guard maid on the side hurriedly turn her head.

Then Rosen began to teach: "You come like this, yes, that's it, that's right, it's very good, how does it feel to accelerate slowly~~~~?" ”

Heya Jiali's eyes shone brightly: "Interesting~Really interesting~"

When Rosen was a little more proficient in flying, he taught her to do a quick tumbling move.

"Ah~~~~"

Heya Gary screamed in fright, and her movements were a little deformed, but Lawson always had everything in his hands and helped her succeed in the maneuver.

After the plane regained stable level flight, Heya Jiali was not afraid at all, there was still a trace of excitement in her eyes, and she said coquettishly: "Brother ~ teach another one~~"

Lawson was also very happy to see her so focused, so he taught fast turns, hovering, air loops and other flying actions at the same time.

For the average earthling, flying a fighter jet can take a long time to train.

But for high-level seventeen-star mages, proficiency in flying is a must-have ability.

Now it's just flying by yourself, changing to flying with a control magic weapon, and the absolute difficulty is about the same as mastering a mid-level logic spell.

So, less than an hour later, after flying around Moby Dick Island seven or eight times, Heya Jiali was quite proficient in flying.

Her white jade cheeks were flushed with excitement, and her eyes were surprisingly bright, apparently with a keen interest in flying.

Rosen smiled: "Interesting, right?" ”

"Hmm!"

"Then you fly first, and when we stabilize, I will also build you a flying magic weapon."

"Thank you, brother~"

The voice was delicate, and the tail note was warped, which was particularly sultry, and at the end, he turned his head and kissed Rosen's lips gently, which aroused a small fire in Rosen's heart.

It was hard to press down, and Rosen got down to business.

After slowing down her flight, she pressed the green communication gem to dial into a separate communication channel, and then entered her voice.

"Anglo~Anglo~ Where are you? Please reply if you receive it. ”

Anglo has been setting off early for almost a month, and if you calculate the time, it should have arrived.

After repeating three times, a response is received.

"Lord, our ship has completed an emergency landing in the Whistling Wilderness on the northwest side of Moby Dick Main Island, and after two days of landing, it has already repelled two waves of attacks."

"Emergency landing?" Rosen was a little worried.

"Yes, the boat hit the reef. Although with the help of Mage Anvinia, he managed to get ashore. The ship eventually sank, but all the fighting materials were moved. ”

"It's a blessing."

Rosen let out a long sigh.

Fortunately, let the mage go along, otherwise these 500 elites would definitely suffer heavy casualties, and a large number of combat materials would be lost, and the effect would be greatly reduced.

And in a wild border place like Moby Dick Island, if you don't have some cronies around, it's really not easy to get things done.

"You wait, I'll be over soon."

Needless to say, Heya Gari had already turned around and flew all the way to the Whisking Wilderness on the northwest side of Moby Dick's main island.

Moby Dick Island is about 200 kilometers in diameter, and at the speed of Sky 2, it only takes ten minutes to reach the ground.

While hurrying, they communicated to confirm the location of the other party, and soon, Lawson saw a temporary circular camp on a high ground covered with fine-leaved coconut trees by the sea.

The camp is 100 meters in diameter and is surrounded by a high wall of petrification, with many petrified bunkers and a large number of makeshift tents.

Many fighters could be seen busy inside and outside the camp.

Some are hunting, some are lighting fires, some are maintaining equipment, and some are patrolling and sentry.

I also happened to see the apprentice Anvinia.

The other party was sitting on a small stool at the door of a tent, holding a thick spell book and reading it carefully.

Rosen said, "Let's land in the open space in front of the camp." ”

Heya Jiali controlled Sky 2 to descend slowly.

When he fell to a height of more than 100 meters, he found that there was some blood on the ground around the camp, and what Anglo said before should be the blood stains left by the attackers.

I don't know which part of the force it belongs to.

The camp had spotted Sky 2 and quickly cleared a level clearing next to the camp.

After Lawson stopped Sky 2, he opened the hatch and jumped out.

Heya Jiali wanted to go out with him, but was stopped by Lawson.

"Don't go out, it's too dirty outside, go out and step on the mud, there are a lot of bugs."

"I'll just go find out."

The main Carrie is too beautiful to be seen by a group of young people with strong blood on this occasion, and it is easy to cause some inexplicable and wonderful incidents.

After getting off the plane, Anglo, Annvinia, and Lydia hurried up to meet them.

Lawson didn't go far to stand by the plane and handed out some small snacks that were brought at random.

For example, smoked dried whitebait, preserved honey fruit, pine nuts and the like.

After sending it around, I asked.

"Everyone, have you worked hard, brothers, have you suffered any casualties?"

Anvinia and Lydia were busy eating delicious snacks and didn't speak.

Anglo shook his head as he bit off half of the dried smoked fish.

"No, it's just a waste of a lot of rune bullets, and there are less than 20,000 ammunition left."

"Who is the attacker?"

"Pirates. The pirates who colluded with the sea fish people had a large camp nearby, with more than 3,000 people. ”

"When they saw that we were few people, they wanted to take advantage of us. After two beatings, killing more than 400 people, he never came again. ”

Lawson asked again, "Have you seen any masters?"

A hint of worry appeared on Anglo's face.

"We didn't see them, but the few captives we captured said they were loyal to the Kavidi family. He also threatened that the terrible archmage would soon come to us for trouble. ”

Lawson was quite speechless, raised his hand and patted the cabin, and asked, "Madam, will the archmage also be a pirate?"

What is the difference between this and the prince going to the field to farm?

Heya Jiali also knocked pine nuts in the cabin, and when she heard this, she said, "There should be."

"Because Moby Dick Island is on the edge of the golden land, and no one cares about it, many wanted criminals like to take refuge here."

"Over the years, there have been many archmages in the east, civilians, nobles, and many who have gone to Moby Dick Island, but they are basically low-level archmages, one level and two levels, and the highest is not more than level 4."

"Besides, there must be archmages on the island, and being a pirate should be a tradition in the archipelago."

"Understood."

Rosen looked at the sky, it was only past 10 o'clock in the morning, and said, "Lunch in an hour, and then set off for Moby Dick City."

His first purpose now is to take over Moby Dick and stabilize the rear, not to exterminate the pirates.

Dealing with pirates is a matter for later.

After that, the camp soldiers prepared lunch, and Annvinia and Lydia were invited into the cabin.

As soon as the two girls saw Heya Jiali, they were stunned, and then Lydia immediately saluted: "Madame is well."

After Anvinia carefully identified it, she exclaimed, "Your Highness?"

Heya Jiali was stunned: "Have you seen me?" ”

Anvinia immediately explained: "I am from Baisha City, and I have seen the portrait of His Highness. ”

"Oh~~ I see."

Ledia on the side was startled: "Your Highness. Are you the Princess of the Morning Star? ”

Heya Jiali chuckled softly, "No, I'm not Princess Morningstar now, I'm the Lady of the Earl of the Islands. ”

Seeing that Ladia was a little puzzled, Rosen explained, "Carrie is my wife in the East, and now she is the countess. ”

“.”

The two women looked at each other, shocked by Lawson's sophistry and shocked.

The dignified Princess of the Morning Star, the supreme flower of the East, is willing to deign to share her husband with other women. It can only be said that Rosen, the golden baron, is really amazingly strong.

Lawson didn't explain much, and took out some simple food from the cargo hold: "Fill your stomach first, and then go to Moby Dick City." ”

"Yes, my lord."

"Yes, Mentor."

A few people feasted in the cabin.

After everyone finished lunch and was about to leave, the light curtain on the detection glass of Sky 2 suddenly shook rapidly, and an alarm sound of 'toot beep' sounded.

Rosen glanced at it and said with a smile: "There is really an archmage coming." ”

After thinking about it, he said: "Jiali, you turn on the blue sky concealment mode, take someone to fly to the sky and wait for me, leave it to me here." ”

Heya Jiali immediately said, "Anna, you protect your brother. ”

Leliana was stunned.

Rosen immediately said, "Don't! Anna's first duty is to keep you safe! ”

After speaking, he comforted: "Don't worry, Jiali, I am fully prepared." If that doesn't work, you can still support me with a cannon in the sky. ”

As he spoke, Lawson had already brought all the auxiliary spellcasters.

Seeing that Lawson had a lot of magic weapons on his body, Heya Jiali also put a lot of heart: "Then brother be careful." ”

Rosen nodded, jumped out of the cabin, and flew towards the camp in the distance.

"Anglo, there is an enemy attack, emergency alert, prepare for battle!"

Anglo had also found out, as the camp also had three highly sensitive mana fluctuation detectors.

And this thing is particularly good, not only will it report mana fluctuations close to ten ramits, but it can also detect both samurai combat skills and mage spells, and finally, it can also accurately detect the direction of the attack.

In the past two days, the scale of the attack is not small, but each time it can achieve zero casualties, first, the weapon is powerful, and the second is to rely on the early warning of this good thing.
