The tavern on the west side of the newly built Tiha port is in stark contrast to the cold outside, there are many people sitting in the hall hazy, there is a burning fireplace against the wall, the fire jumps, illuminates the lobby warmly, the smell of inferior wine, tobacco, the smell of fried meat, the smell of sweat, the smell of the crowd gathers in the face, so that the sailors who have experienced the long-distance voyage suddenly feel a burst of warmth, and the room is shrouded in the sound of buzzing conversation like a cloud.

Pollock, the serpent in the harbor, came in from the door of the tavern like a ghost, his narrow eyes first looked at the drinkers in the tavern, as if searching for something, and finally, his gaze suddenly fixed on a middle-aged man in the far left window of the tavern, and a hesitation flashed on his face, and finally walked over

This middle-aged man is wearing a very ordinary black leather coat, this kind of clothing is very common among merchants sailing on the sea, if you don't look carefully, it is easy to be regarded as an ordinary merchant in the port, but if you are a veteran, you will find that the position where this middle-aged man sits, you can easily see the only fork in the road in the port,

That is, any cargo and carriage entering and leaving the port, could not escape his sight, a figure who liked to stand in the role of an observer,

"Dear Lord Angelo!"

Pollock greeted the middle-aged man, his face changed from the brutality he had when he was at the dock, and instead respectfully used the honorific that ordinary small nobles would use,

"Pollock, you're looking for me?"

The middle-aged man turned his head, showing a mature and steady face, put down the wine glass in his hand, his bright eyes were a little piercing, as if no secret could be hidden under his gaze,

"Great. My lord, I have something to report" Pollock stammered a little nervously, "I got something from yesterday's trade, and I specially brought it to my lord!"

"Things?" The middle-aged man's face was calm, and the corners of his mouth sneered disapprovingly, "I heard that you recently broke the rules and took over a Normandy shipment, and the Anlise Chamber of Commerce has a lot of opinions on this matter, and some people have reported that you also signed a contract with the other party." You will also receive the goods in the future, you are cutting off the supply of goods for others, I was still thinking about how to punish you just now, but I didn't expect you to be quite interesting. Otherwise, I'll have to ask you to come once!"

"It was definitely those businessmen who deliberately framed me because they were jealous of this batch of goods!"

Pollock was so nervous that he almost collapsed, his face flushed, and he hurriedly took out the contract signed yesterday from his arms. Respectfully placed on the table in front of the middle-aged man, and said bitterly, "If you don't believe it, you can take a look at this contract, in white and black." This time the receipt not only did not reduce the price, but also increased the price by 10% on the normal price. This is clearly written on the contract, and I am trading normally. It's not like black eats black!"

"If it weren't for that, do you think you'd have a chance to stand in front of me and defend yourself?"

The middle-aged man's eyes didn't even glance at the contract, and the cold aura in his tone made the standing Pollock full of cold sweat, and his legs and feet were weak and he almost knelt down, and the big man in Anquila's eyes was like a frightened mouse facing a cat in front of this middle-aged man at this moment, and he didn't even dare to raise his head

"It seems that you don't have much guts!"

The middle-aged man glanced at Pollock with a little disappointment, and whispered, "I hope you know for yourself, I know who the person behind you is, for her sake, I don't embarrass you, leave the contract and things, you can go!" The middle-aged man said in a low voice, don't look over, and continue to leisurely look at the scenery of the port outside

"Yes, yes!"

Pollock left the wrapped seal and the somewhat wrinkled contract as if he had been pardoned, and left the tavern with his head in his arms, and walked for ten minutes, only to find that nothing had happened, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the sun shining overhead and the shadows on the ground with some disbelief, before he was really sure that he was still alive,...,

"It's a miracle, I'm not dead!" Pollock touched the sweat-soaked clothes behind his back, the Angelo he had just seen, his real identity was the head of the Tiha Regional Supervision Department,

Anyone who knows the details of this person, there are few people who do not feel cramps in the face of this person, even with Pollock's boldness, they will never dare to be arrogant in front of this person, everyone knows that the Supervision Department of the Falcon Dynasty represents darkness, blood, secret, not under the jurisdiction of the military and commercial alliances, and is only responsible for His Majesty the Falcon, a typical violent organ

In a sense, Falcon Majesty himself is the head of the Ministry of Supervision,

Such a strong backstage is enough for this department to exercise power over life and death in handling affairs, as long as it is a person who is targeted by the Ministry of Supervision, there are almost no people who can get out of the way.

Because these guys are ruthless characters who don't talk about conventional means, their semi-official and semi-dark identities give them absolute dominance over the underground dark forces in various places, just take the unsightly Angelo in front of him as an example, in just 2 months after taking office, he used extremely iron-blooded means to secretly dispose of more than double-digit smugglers,

The original chaotic order of Tiha was first established in the dark world, and if you want to mix in Tiha, the will of this Lord Angelo determines whether you live or die,

In the tavern he left just now, Angelo was also looking at the thing in front of him with a stern expression, and the contract had been put aside by him, and he was not even interested in looking at it.

His gaze was completely focused on another thing, a black ordinary heraldic ring, lying quietly in the middle of the wrapped cloth on a blue background, on which a lifelike falcon with wings spread and flying was rushing towards the sky above his head with his head held high, with a simple and imposing posture, revealing the falcon's domineering spirit of not being afraid of a qiē and fighting in the sky

"This seems to be the real thing!"

According to the cold texture from the touch of his palm, Angelo took a deep breath of cold air with a surprised face, his mouth opened slightly unconsciously, and his eyes were full of surprise and shock, although he was not qualified to see the real Falcon Crest Ring, but he also knew that there was only a sign representing the name of the family. It is possible to engrave on this meaningful heraldic ring,

The word falcon is a name of great significance on this continent, and it represents supreme authority and prestige

"Falcon Ring from an Exotic Land?" Angiro felt a little dazed as he rose from his seat. Looking out the window with twinkling eyes,

He is the head of the Ministry of Supervision in Tiha region. He knew much more than anyone else, and according to the Admiralty, at the military conference that ended last month, His Majesty Falcon proposed a new policy to encourage trade with exotic merchants, and it was clear that the direction of trade development after the dynasty should be on these exotic merchants.

According to information collected by the Admiralty, beyond the continent of Icadiva, there is a continent of Obaro that has a larger population and vast land. It was an excellent sea route for trade and, in the eyes of the Admiralty, land, population, city. It represents not just the number of jù, but a lot of gold coins.

In such an environment, as long as you are not stupid. We all know that maintaining a good relationship with these exotic merchants is a good thing.

But this ring made Angelo feel a sense of foreboding. How could a ring engraved with the coat of arms of the Falcon appear in the hands of an exotic Norman?

"Do you know where those two Normans will be?" asked Angelo with a stern expression to the deputy who was in charge of monitoring the docks next to him, and he decided to meet the two Normans himself.

The deputy, pretending to be a drunkard, quickly stood up, he was also a very capable young man, because the Tiha region was still a semi-belligerent area, and this deputy was not from the Ministry of Supervision, but an officer provided by the Admiralty, and was mainly responsible for liaison with the military...,

For his boss, he always treats his superiors like his superiors, in fact, for the affairs of the Ministry of Supervision, many upright soldiers are despised, but when I really enter here, I know that if there is no group of people like the Ministry of Supervision who are willing to bear the stigma, the world will not be as peaceful as it is now!

The power in the darkness can only be grasped by the same dark hands, just like the port of Tiha in front of him, if it weren't for the deterrence of iron-fisted figures like Angelo, the mutual tilting of underground forces and the fight for the supply of goods would have made this port a mess

The adjutant pondered for a while before replying, "I saw yesterday that the foresail of their ship was torn by a third, and it must have been in a storm while crossing the open sea, and it was impossible to go to sea in that state, so they should be in Old Peter's shipyard, and only Old Peter has the ability to repair such damage!"

"I hope you're right!" Angelo nodded slightly, agreeing with the adjutant's statement, he waved his hand to the opposite window, and an unmarked black carriage drove out of the silent corner, stopped in front of the tavern, and stepped onto the carriage, Angelo instructed the coachman in front of him, dressed as his subordinate, "Go to the dock at the East Pier, Old Peter's shipyard!" The carriage shook slightly, and slowly accelerated on the stone road,

The port of Tiha is not large, at most it is a medium-sized port, but because of the large ruins left over from the burning of the previous battle, the whole port looks like it has been neatly cut in half.

It is said that the Hulun tribe who captured this place killed a lot of people that day, and the sea surface of the port was blocked by floating corpses, so the merchant ships who dared to trade were all people with backgrounds or particularly courageous, and there was an untimely prosperity in the cold, and there were taverns along the street, and there were sailors laughing everywhere, but the recent embargo and heavy taxes on the Nord side made the originally lush port a lot colder, and there were few people on the road, turning a downhill street,

Angelo could already see Old Peter's repair dock, which was located in a recess below the large pier, a makeshift simple repair dock made of planks and rattan trellises, the sides of the dock were fixed to the cliff wall of the mouth of the hollow bay with strong planks, and on top was a pontoon bridge connecting the river, which could take advantage of the high tide and low tide to send the ships in need of repair into the dock steadily.

The humble looking dockyard is one of the best repair docks in Tiha, thanks to the great skill of Old Peter, who was only 40 years old when he saw a carriage parked silently at the door of his dock, and the owner of the dock wiped the dirt on his trousers with a confused face, and pushed open the iron door railing outside the dock

"Who are you? I only repair boats, not carriages!" Old Peter looked at the carriage with an unkind face, for unmarked carriages were rare in Tiha. It reminded him of something unpleasant,

He was a veteran repairman in the former Salander Navy, with dry and dark skin, and years of wind and rain at sea. Makes him look much older than his actual age, since the Salander Navy collapsed under several blows from the Falcon Navy, many logistics personnel who originally belonged to the Salander Navy have also come to the Ikadwivar continent to seek a way out, and Old Peter is one of them

For these skilled people, the Falcon Dynasty adopted a policy of semi-employment and semi-self-employment.

That is, the Admiralty signed an agreement with these people, and the Admiralty financed the construction of the dockyard. It was rented free of charge to these people, and they were allowed to operate externally, and as rent, they were responsible for the repair and maintenance of naval ships in wartime. There are 7 such docks in the Tiha area, which basically guarantees the daily maintenance tasks of the local fleet, and greatly saves the cost of naval repairs...,

Out of the secrecy of the navy's warships, the Ministry of Supervision naturally will not let go of the surveillance of these people, every seven days. The owners of these docks are required to register with the Inspectorate once, and if they are delayed, they will be disqualified.

"Long time no see, Peter Antouk"

Angelo pushed the car door with a calm face. The black trench coat on his body made Old Peter on the other side tremble subconsciously. Tie Qing's face immediately changed to a warm smile

"Ann...... Lord Angelo, I thought it was those abominable guys!"

Old Peter had a smile on his face. Almost flying over, although the reputation of this Lord Angelo is a little dark in Tiha, but he is relatively tolerant of these dock owners, because of some special relationships, this old Peter's dockyard once had a turmoil, and it was this Lord Angelo who came forward to settle it

"What, are Boama's people still pestering you" Angelo's eyebrows frowned slightly,

"No, it's the people of the Anlise Chamber of Commerce, they just took two people from here!" Old Peter said hesitantly, "It's two Normans, it is said that because they owe them goods, they want to use their ships as collateral! Of course, the two Normans refused, so they fought, and as a result, one was broken off his head and fainted to death on the ground, and the other was pressed to the ground and dragged away!"

"The Nord's Anlisi merchants are really a bunch of things who don't know how to live or die, and they dare to violate the rules of the port!"

Hearing that the two Normans had been taken away, Angelo's face suddenly became gloomy, and he snorted in displeasure. There was a cold murderous aura inside, and he waved goodbye to old Peter, and got into the carriage again.

Looking at Angelo's expression when he left, I don't know why, old Peter felt cold behind his back, touched it with his hand, it was completely soaked, and then he remembered that Angelo's expression when he left just now was almost exactly the same as his expression when he was rectifying Tiha Harbor, thinking of Boama's fate, old Peter couldn't help but feel a heart tightening, he seemed to smell the strong smell of blood in the sea breeze

Tiha, as the most important central hub on the southern coast of Nord, has always been a place of intertwined forces, with various underground forces vying for territory, and even with the banner of the Falcon Dynasty, the situation has not improved much.

The Boama mentioned by Angelo just now is a local force in the port, and there is also a dock at the other end of the port of Tiha, because Old Peter's technology is better than the dockyard run by these Nords, so most of the ships from Vecchia and Salander are damaged, and they will naturally find Old Peter first,

Feeling affected, the Boama forces have sent people to Old Peter many times to make trouble, and the first thing Angelo did when he took office was to rectify the chaotic underground forces that grabbed food, so he naturally used this incident as a breakthrough to kill chickens and monkeys

First of all, overnight, the three leaders of the Boama forces, all of them inexplicably strewn the streets, and then the military came forward in the name of searching for Nord spies, completely eradicating this force from the port area, arresting 125 people, and the next day announced the beheading of 16 people, almost all of the small and medium-sized leaders were undoubtedly exceptional, all of them were concentrated in the most densely populated central cargo yard of the port to execute the beheading,

The underground forces in the entire port area were immediately shocked, no one knew what kind of madness the military was doing, only some forces from Vicchia vaguely felt something, and soon, all the local leaders received a letter signed by Angelo, and in the place of signature, a red seal of the Ministry of Supervision was stamped

Some local Nord forces who don't know what the Ministry of Supervision is, completely scoffed at this letter.

They still went their own way according to their habits, fighting in order to grab the territory left by the blank space of the Boama forces, while the previous Wikia forces quickly retracted, and ten days later, a surprise inspection by the military uprooted those Nord dark forces that went their own way, and arrested 378 people, but only 231 people were finally released, and the other 147 people were declared spies and imprisoned on the spot...,

Bloody against bloody, dark against dark, the Ministry of Supervision has never been a righteous and bright department, and Angelo has never hidden his ferocity.

When he came forward again in the name of the Ministry of Supervision and summoned all the leaders of the underground forces, all the people who received the invitation came

"My request is simple, I want Tiha Port to calm down!"

Angelo took a leisurely sip of water from the glass, his eyes swept over the various faces of the leaders of the forces with speculative expressions, and there was a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth: "I have always adhered to a belief that whoever makes me live badly will let anyone never live badly! For those who make me unhappy, there is only one end for them."

As soon as he finished speaking, he gestured to the soldiers outside the door of the meeting, and two large pockets oozing blood were carried in, the pungent smell of blood made the faces of the leaders of the forces present change, this is the smell of human blood, as the pockets were opened upside down, a bunch of round, bloody and blurred human heads rolled out of the pockets, these heads were all without exception with wide open eyes, the fear before death, and the hesitant look was completely fixed at the moment before death

"Vomit" A leader who couldn't stand it vomited on the spot,

A human head rolled at his feet, and he wanted to kick it away, but he didn't have the guts, and the dead man's eyes were like fish, and he stared at him like this.
