"Why?" Midi smiled slightly, then stretched out a finger and pointed at Wells, "In these turbulent times, even the children of the Feifan family still have to fight hard to protect themselves, if you don't find a safe haven, how are you going to survive?"

Midi wasn't alarmist, much less lobbyist.

In the final analysis, the entire West Coast is just a loose group of business alliances, although controlled by several large families, but after all, it is not a country in the true sense of the word, and can only be regarded as a business alliance led by Faroe Bay.

And now, with the fire of the Gran Forest, several major forces have begun to wake up from their dormant and begin to move.

In the previous life, it was okay, but the Delos Empire was busy invading the Duchy of Belmar and could not spare its hands to deal with the west coast for a while. But what about this life? Because of the immobilization of Belmar's iron wall, the infiltration focus of the Delos Empire has shifted here in advance, presumably in the Faro Bay at this moment, I am afraid that there is already an undercurrent

Not only the Empire, but when he came here, it meant that the Belmar Kingdom had also joined the wrestling.

Moreover, in the face of the great temptation of "awakening", Midi believes that the Void Ancestor in the West and Bantu in the North cannot bear to sit back and watch the Sky City gain for others.

When the few giants on the Arad continent gather on the stage of the West Coast, even a slight shock is enough to crush any family here, let alone the captain of an independent sailing ship like Sothea?

Under the so-called covered nest, there are no eggs.

Midi also believed that with Sothia's sensitivity and vision, she must have noticed something unusual in the past year, but with her vision, way of thinking, and access to information, she couldn't understand what was going on.

Now, now that she has pointed it out to this extent, I believe that this smart woman will definitely understand the truth.

Sure enough, after listening to Midi's words, Sothea first looked pensive, then seemed to suddenly realize, with a slight fear in her eyes, and then an unwilling look.

It looks like there's going to be another fire.

Midi thought about it, and then spoke: "Captain Sothea, I know that you yearn for a free life at sea, but in troubled times, how can there be absolute freedom? ”

These words directly hit Sothia's vital point, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she sighed with a wry smile: "It seems that this is the only way." ”

The captain of the Nantian Star nodded, and Wells on the side was also relieved. As for Canina, although she was still vaguely hostile to Midi, she was not a very assertive person, and after Sothia's whispers, the blonde captain was silent, and although there was still a slight reluctance on her face, she honestly signed the employment contract.

After some processing, at this moment, the two female captains had returned to their respective sailboats, while Midi remained on the ironclad.

However, Wells Sail has no surprises in this regard.

In fact, this young master of flying sail has already understood, when the mysterious powerhouse in front of him is determined to intervene, problems such as crew and captain are no longer a problem.

At this moment, when only you and the other party are left, is the real negotiation begins.

"Tell me, Mr. Wells, how many ironclads do you have now?" asked Midi bluntly, without any temptation.

"There is only this Conqueror, but in half a month, another Saboteur will be built. I was originally going to look for the captain and crew of the Saboteur. Wells replied cheerfully, without the slightest concealment. In his opinion, although the ironclad ship is his biggest bargaining chip, but for the person in front of him, I am afraid it is nothing at all, so why hide it?

"There are only two, a little less. Midi frowned slightly.

Although the ironclad ship looks strong, in Midi's opinion, this kind of battleship has many weaknesses, if you use armor-piercing bullets, magic to disturb the facility for targeted confrontation, and then send water spirits to attack from underwater, even the ironclad ship will sink to the bottom.

According to his estimates, its effective combat effectiveness is about the same as five five-masted galleons of the same tonnage.

Of course, this is also a very remarkable combat power ratio, but if there are only two ironclad ships, it will not be a climate at all in a real battle.

Listening to Midi's evaluation, Wells smiled bitterly: "This is already the result of me smashing all my net worth into it over the years, and I also used many connections and resources of my mother's family to open up a secret port." Otherwise, I'm afraid that before it is built, my eldest brother will snatch the design drawings and so on

"Oh, you have a secret port, that's fine. Midi nodded, and then asked, "Tell me, how much does an ironclad ship cost?"

Wells sighed and said, "At least, a million gold coins." ”

"Money is not an issue. Midi said with a smile, and then placed the five black diamonds on the table.

When he saw these five precious diamonds, even a child of a big family like Wells felt suffocated for a moment.

Those were five soul crystals.

This hedron is extremely rare, with a market value of around two million gold coins each, and has been in a state of no market for a long time. If you put it on the west coast, as long as you take it out, you will be robbed by the big families immediately.

But now, Midi casually took out five of them, which was ten million gold coins, and a whole ten ironclad ships

It's just that at this time, Wells's delicate and beautiful bewitching face has become a little pale.

Originally, in his opinion, although Midi's personal force was extremely strong, since he tried to support himself, the power behind Midi was even limited, otherwise, why bother to find a weak heir like himself, he could talk directly to the head of the Feifan family.

But now, he realizes that he was wrong, and he was very wrong.

Because even if he is the master of the Feifan family, it is absolutely impossible to take out 10 million gold coins directly without preparation, just on a whim

How powerful is the power behind this person?

Wells reasoned back and forth in his mind, but there was no answer.

As if sensing the other party's shock, Midi smiled slightly and said, "My identity, there is nothing to hide, but I am the messenger of the Belmar Kingdom. ”

With these words, Kelvin also handed over a document in due course. This is an identity certificate signed by Fina herself, the whole document is made of fine white gauze paper, and there are several magic arrays drawn inside, and the font is gilded, even if it is thrown into the flames, this document will not be lost at all, and it can be regarded as a real treasure in itself.

Not only that, but the content on it shows that the power of this "Mr. Fiai" is unbelievably great, and it can be said that he directly represents Belmar, just like Queen Fina Hamilton in person

What kind of ordinary messenger is this, this is ten times worse than Qincha

Wells sighed secretly in his heart, and suddenly, a thunderous name involuntarily appeared in his mind-

Midi Asrex.

The strongest ghost swordsman, the genius commander, the commander of the Hayabusa Regiment, the lover and comrade-in-arms of the Queen of Magic Bullets, the founding father of the Belmar Kingdom, and the "Sword of Victory and Protection......

There are countless titles for this legendary figure, and even the West Coast, which doesn't care much about the situation in Belmar, was buzzing with many stories about Midi when the Twin Trees of Life were born last year.

And the black-haired and black-eyed young man in front of him, who claimed to be "Fiai", had too many details, which coincided with that Midi Asrex

Could it be that he was actually talking to that Midi?

Thinking of this, even Wells, who has always been calm and composed, couldn't help but tremble a little at this moment

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

Midi had already shown a lot at the moment, so even if Wells deduced something, he wouldn't be surprised. However, at present, he will never reveal his true identity, because doing so will definitely attract the attention of the Empire, and then make the West Coast enter a situation of direct confrontation in advance.

And Wells quickly realized this after the initial excitement, so naturally he didn't really ask anything, but now his eyes were swept away from the previous confusion, full of excitement, passion, and even some kind of fanaticism.

After being suppressed for so many years, this beautiful young man who has been depressed has finally found a backer with enough weight, and then, he can fly with his wings from now on, how can he not be excited?

"Ten ironclads, no problem, right?" Midi confirmed.

"Of course, I will personally supervise and build these ten ironclads in the fastest time," Wells nodded confidently, and then added, "It's just the crew......"

"I'll bring people from Belmar. The specific matters are arranged by your side. "Midi has all the questions.

If possible, he would actually like to move the entire Falcon Regiment over, but the result of doing so, like revealing his identity, will only force the Empire to send troops in advance, turning the West Coast into a new war-torn place.

But now, with Wells as the internal response, it is not a problem to find a few reasons to mobilize a group of seafarers. At that time, when this ironclad fleet paid by the Belmar people and played an important role in the Belmar people is completed, it will be equivalent to a brand new fleet that is loyal to Belmar.

And Wells naturally understood Midi's thoughts, and immediately responded.

Imagine, if you have the support of the Belmar Kingdom, let alone survive the heir competition, even if it is the position of the head of the family, it may not be impossible to fight

Thinking of this, Wells suddenly had a thing in his mind, and he added: "Mr. Fiai, when you arrive on the West Coast, you must be entering the upper social circle, and at that time, how about I be the introducer."

"It doesn't have to be that just yet. Midi shook her head, "Still, if you say that, you should first decide on a title in case you need it." ”

As the two sides spoke, there happened to be a towering rocky island on the side of the ship, rising like a tower, from the end of the horizon.

"What is that island called?" said Midi, looking at the island, her heart moving.

Wells replied without hesitation: "This island is also quite famous on the west coast, because it looks like a lighthouse, so we usually call it 'Santa Island.'" ”

"Then I will take the name 'Count of Santa Island, as my name.' ”
