As soon as he returned from the sea, he heard that an outsider had bought a large ship full of winter supplies to enter the Diana River to go to the Andrés Mountains, and as the commander of the coastal defense of Brion City, Valles hurried with his team without changing his blood-stained armor, after all, even the powerful mercenary regiment did not dare to enter the Andrés Mountains lightly in this season, and those who wanted to do so were too suspicious.
It's just that after looking at the personnel on the ship, Valles's face softened a little, but he still asked sternly: "Humphreys, why, the last loss has made you unable to maintain the 'Flying Whale', and even the entire ship's cargo has been disposed of?"
"Hehe, Lord Valles, look at what you said, after so many years, you still don't know us people. My loss this time is indeed a bit large, but not to the extent you think, and as for my customers, you have also seen, and this young master is not ordinary generous. Humphreys said very calmly. The relationship between the two sides is usually very good, but the recent pirate incident has made everyone feel not very good, he can understand what Valles is worried about, and he also thought that Lu Chen and the others were related to pirates, until the high purchase price given by the other party dispelled his doubts, after all, being a pirate is for money, and you don't need to be a pirate if you can be so luxurious.
Seeing Humphreys, who was an old friend, gave him a reassuring look, and then looking at the buyer who was still a little boy next to him, Valais finally let go of his nervousness. On the other side, a man and three women were dressed as mercenaries, the man in delicate armor had obvious military features, and the remaining woman behaved like a nobleman. The demeanor is a little too charming. Probably the lover of the little boy in front of him. Coupled with the "generosity" that Humphreys said, that is to say, this little boy should be a young master from a big family, who came to the Andrés Mountains to play an adventure.
Thinking that the Diana River was indeed safer before the weather warmed up than at other times, Valais said to Lu Chen's side with a little kind dissuasion and questioning: "Okay, which of you will explain what this is for? ”
"You won't bother with this. For a merchant, wherever there is intelligent life, there will naturally be objects to trade. Seeing that the other party regarded himself as a gentleman, Lu Chen simply pretended to be arrogant and replied, but he didn't think about it, but instead made the other party feel disgusted.
"Hehe, that's a good point, so what do you want to trade? Do you want to sell these winter goods to criminals and outlaws in the mountains while it's still early spring?" Brion is a relatively free city, and the largest in the city is a middle-of-the-road count, and Valles, who was also a merchant, was very unaccustomed to such a family child, so he asked mercilessly.
The other party looks like an aggressive person. It's a little hot, but there are a lot of people around. Just as there was an opportunity to spread the news, Lu Chen deliberately said: "Yes, unless there are other intelligent beings at the source of the Diana River." ”
"You~" Although he heard that the little child in front of him was intentional, Valles was still angry, but he didn't know the identity of the other party, and it was not worth being angry with the pampered aristocratic child, so he didn't know how to say it all of a sudden, and at this moment, an older-looking magician beside him whispered a few words, which made his gathered brows stretch again.
"Okay, that's it, Master Cazeroo is still thoughtful. Valais thanked him in a low voice, and then pretended to be arrogant, and said to Lu Chen: "The Kingdom of Finaeus is based on commerce, and our city of Brion is the same, and the source of the Diana River is not under my jurisdiction, so I don't care who you want to trade with." However, in order to ensure that nothing happens to you in our jurisdiction, I will personally lead two warships to escort you, and I hope that you will cooperate when the time comes, and before you leave port, I will send a small team to guard your 'Flying Whale' day and night, and you can prepare in the city with confidence, as long as you can recruit enough crew to set sail. ”
The other party obviously used the Flying Whale as bait, and Humphreys, who was the former owner, felt unhappy when he heard the words of this old friend, but on the other hand, Lu Chen and the others were slightly stunned, and a strange expression appeared on their faces that seemed to be crying and laughing.
"Uh~ well, Valles~ Your Excellency, you can call me Lucien, thank you for all this for us. Well, well, you've just come back, and from tomorrow, in the morning, three days later, we'll all set off for the Diana River, no matter whether we have recruited enough crew, no problem, right?" Lu Chen said with sincere gratitude. The escort of the other side is in the right place, which will not only make it easier to recruit crews, but also make the bandits along the way dare not attack the ship until they have accumulated a certain strength, which is conducive to solving most of the troubles at once, and once the number of bandits increases, their greed will also increase exponentially, and then they may be able to solve the problem of bandits along the Diana River once and for all.
After listening to Lu Chen's words, the smugness on Valais's face was gone, and instead he felt like he had automatically boarded the thief ship, but looking at the two magicians around him who were willing to go along, and then looking at the immature faces of the other party, he still nodded, and then left first before falling into the embarrassment of having nothing to say. In addition to the fact that he really needs to rest after a battle, after all, there is still a lot of follow-up work waiting for him to deal with.
"This, Lucien~ Young Master, you really shouldn't have made trouble with Valais like this, he is actually a very good talker......" As soon as Valais left, Humphreys was a little worried about talking for him, for fear that this obviously noble little boy would hold a grudge.
"It's okay, you don't have to say anything, no one will be fine, and I'm glad that Brian has someone like him. By the way, what is his position and title?" Lu Chen interrupted him, taking a little interest in Valais.
"This ......"
"What is there to swallow, if we want to do something to him, we have already done it just now, say it quickly, maybe he will thank you in the future. Seeing Humphreys very embarrassed, Evelyn interjected.
He had already guessed Lu Chen's identity, and when he heard the noble-looking beauty beside him say this, Humphreys could only honestly tell his old friend the position of the Admiral of the Navy and the title of baron, and these things could be known by a little inquiry in the city, but then he was frightened by Evelyn's tone.
"Ah, it's a baron, if it's not hereditary, it's not the same as the sisters' titles. Evelyn deliberately lengthened her voice, and then took in Humphreys's wonderful expression.
Not to mention Verona's daughters, even Craig and Abrego were speechless for a while, Lu Chen could only quickly ask Humphreys to help, and took the two of them to the mercenary guild to arrange mercenary tasks, to divert his attention, so as not to make some more things that are easy to make people suffer from heart disease, and then took the four beauties back to the city and continued to visit the night market.
