Chapter 257: What? Have the courage to bark, but don't have the courage to do it?!
Not to mention the nods of these soldiers, and another explanation with the officers.
Raphael and the others continued to sail to the harbor of St. Helier, and the clerk saw the insignia on the ship from a distance, and whispered a few words to a soldier beside him, who took the order and departed. The crew looked at the port location with all kinds of ships docking, and the dock was also full of people, people coming and going, and their hearts were even hotter. The movements at hand also seem to be more diligent!
The ship slowly docked in an empty space in the harbor of St. Helier, because of the cargo on board, Van Lentien docked in the direction of the wooden walkway, which usually costs more than a normal ship, but only a few more silver soles Raphael could afford.
The crew was doing the docking of the ship, and this time the docking of Fizsterle would take some time to repair, and the crew would be able to take a few more days of vacation, so everyone seemed very attentive to this last thing in order to be able to recuperate.
The pot-bellied clerk came to the deck with a thick black book in his arms, and his expression was proud, without the slightest reverence of the officer before him.
"Who is the captain of this ship?" The clerk said in a swaggering voice.
"I, it's me. Your Excellency the Clerk. Fitztier, a businessman, had always dealt with this for everyone, so he walked past the crew, only to see the clerk's performance and was a little displeased. However, the businessman's kindness made him still pull out a kind smile.
"Huh?" The clerk glanced Fitzterer up and down and nodded. "Where did it come from?"
"Port Ibrahim, Lord Registrar." In fact, this kind of clerk does not have a knighthood, but because he occupies a convenient position, these merchants are called convenient. And usually these guys don't embarrass them.
"Port Ibrahim, I heard it wasn't invaded by a gang of pirates. The Emperor sent a navy to this place a few days ago, so you can't be a fine work sent by pirates, right? The clerk's words made Fitzterer's face a little bad, first of all, they were really involved in the Black Flag Pirates. Secondly, the clerk's words can be said to contain evil intentions, if they are listened to by those who have a heart, they will all be imprisoned!
"Your Excellency, you can't talk nonsense about these things!" Fitzterr's action of removing the money bag from his waist was stopped for this reason, and those who came were not good, and those who were good did not come! The clerk's performance made Fitzjiler feel that something was wrong.
"Am I talking nonsense? As for whether I'm talking nonsense, then let's check it out! As the clerk spoke, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance, and a group of soldiers in crimson armor walked towards them with very neat steps. The soldiers, armed with spears, dispersed some of the coolies who were waiting for work around the docks.
Seeing the arrival of the soldiers, the clerk immediately came to the front of the leading soldier with a shy stomach, nodded and said these things.
"What happened recently, why didn't the military let go of the people in the temple?" The coolies looked cautiously at the soldiers not far away, glanced around, and whispered.
"Shhh~ This kind of thing can't be said nonsense. Do you want to be caught? Settle down and see if you can make a few orders. The companion on the side immediately covered his mouth and looked around.
"Routine check!" Ignoring the emblems engraved on the ship, the soldiers swaggered up with a swaggering look.
"Bring the goods up." Fortunately, when I was on Poison Dragon Island, I put all the contraband in it and exchanged a batch of more valuable medicines, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome this time! Especially these soldiers, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like an inspection, but to find fault!
The soldiers unceremoniously opened the well-sealed box, inspected the medicines inside, and even discarded them on the ship at will, the seafarers glared angrily at these rude soldiers, and Van Lentien also watched coldly at the unceremonious movements of these guys. However, these soldiers didn't seem to care, as if they were waiting for Van Luntieen to make a move!
"Well, the goods have been inspected, there is no problem!" Looking at the medicine in one place, the soldier took the lead and said this. Although Fitzteler was very dissatisfied, he still stepped forward with a smile, "Now that my lord has completed the inspection, can we dock in the harbor normally?" ”
More things are better than less, and businessmen will choose to settle down on these things in many cases. The people do not fight with the officials, this sentence is true no matter what era it is placed in!
"My lord, we haven't checked it in the cabin. Maybe these guys put those contraband in the cabin? A soldier on the side said in a loud voice, with a hint of banter in his tone.
"Oh, yes. I almost forgot about this place. I'm sorry, Mr. Captain. We also have to check the cabins, which is also for the safety of St. Helier Harbour. After all, you are from Port Ibrahim, so we have to be cautious, please understand! The two of them are like singing double reeds, singing and acting in harmony.
"Don't you think it's too much, sir?" No matter how forbearant Fitzsterer was, seeing that the other party was so unscrupulous, his face was gloomy, and his tone was angry.
"Why, do you want to disobey the decree of the seaport of St. Helier?" Looking at Fitztier's appearance, the officer was not afraid at all, on the contrary, he said with a righteous and awe-inspiring face, looking like a loyal minister who was not afraid of power.
"My lord, I hope you will think about it carefully, it is definitely for your own good." Fitztier's words always smelled of stubbornness and strength in the ears of this officer, and he even pushed Fitztierer for this.
"Bang Bang!" The seamen's faces were gloomy when they saw Fitztimel being so rudely pushed to the ground by the officer, and these guys had undoubtedly given them an outlet after they had been living a very boring life these days. These seafarers have all fought for their livelihood at sea, and they are all stained with blood, and there is no reason to continue to tolerate being on the top of their heads.
Awani pulled up Fetztel, who had fallen to the ground, and then joined the crowd of confrontations, he had been a mercenary for so many years, and it was the first time he had confronted these Imperial soldiers, and they would obediently avoid these guys when they saw them on weekdays. But now? Raphael in the cabin gave them the courage to stand up!
They knew very well that, with Raphael's temperament, they would not be to blame them for such a thing!
"What are you doing?! This is blatant obstruction of official duties and illegal attack! How? Would you like to try our prison meal in St. Helier's harbour? The officer was not at all timid and drew his sword at his side, while the soldiers behind him pointed their spears at the seamen.
"Is your prison meal in St. Helier's harbour delicious?" A young voice came from the cabin, very lazy and disdainful. Let the crew have more courage, will be the courage of the soldiers, Raphael's indifferent attitude makes the crew very useful!
"Whether it's delicious or not, you can find out if you go in and eat it." When the officer saw a young man coming from behind, his face showed a hint of disdain, thinking that it was another temple member who didn't know what to do. He had caught a lot of such people these days, thinking that relying on the reputation of the temple would make them feel jealous, but naturally they had already ended up in the prison of St. Helier's harbor.
It wasn't clear why the temple personnel were being arrested, but they didn't bother to pay attention. Capture a Templar and their squad will be able to get a hundred gold soles, and that's enough! Their recent behavior has accumulated a lot of gold soles for them, and when they have a few votes, they plan to return to the countryside to see if they can buy a piece of farmland from a nobleman and become a manor owner, and live a quiet life!
So when they heard that there was a ship with the temple mark, the team left behind was excited. This one person is one hundred gold soles, and there are one hundred and eighty people on a boat, and if they catch such a boatload of people, they will go straight to the well-off!
"I'm too lazy to be rough with you. Since you are acting in accordance with the laws of the Empire, I will tell you about the laws of the Empire. I, Raphael Abraham, Baron of Real Power, Baron of God. According to the laws of the Empire, unless I am a traitor, the soldiers of the Empire have no right to confiscate me or my property by forced means! "He really didn't bother to play Tai Chi with these soldiers here, and the cargo of this ship was insignificant to him, even if it was really taken away by these soldiers, it wouldn't be too much of a problem.
Previously bought the pirates under the Black Flag Pirates, although it cost a lot of gold soles. But compared to the batch of Kinsol left by Benjamin, it is completely insignificant. For this reason, Raphael also gave Jack Kenway and left them a million gold soles as development funds. Therefore, this ship's goods can only be regarded as change for him now......
But if your own men were beaten, it was different. As the boss, he doesn't even dare to let out a fart at this time, so what kind of boss is it?
The baron of real power, proving that Raphael had the territory and all the autonomy in his hands. This kind of aristocracy, even if it comes from a remote small town, has far more weight than those nobles with false titles! The divine baron, the weight of this thing is more noble than the real power baron, which needs to be nominated by the three temples and agreed by the three gods to obtain an identity!
It's not that easy to get! It was also Raphael's actions in Perkin Harbor that made the three very satisfied to get this identity! Raphael's status made him not have to salute when facing the higher nobles, but instead those guys had to bow down to Raphael and shout, "Your Honorable Baron!" ”
As for the temple, it is difficult to say about other temples. The temple members of the Three Faggets should also be humble and polite in front of themselves, and they must not transgress in the slightest! However, because it is a divine baron given by the three, with the unity and prestige of the three, the other members of the temple dare not make a big statement in front of themselves in front of the three!
"Haha, what bullshit baron. I don't know how many people of this status are in the harbor of St. Helier, and a small nobleman from the countryside dares to shout here? Do you really think that our army in the seaport of St. Helier is frightened? A discordant voice broke the deadlock, and several pairs of soldiers in crimson armor rushed towards the area, led by several men on tall horses, apparently higher than the officer in front of them.
"And what kind of divine baron, you can only bluff them who don't know the truth. The Ottore Empire doesn't know how many years there has been no divine gifted nobles, and there are also divine barons, you said that you are a divine knight, I still think it is more reliable! There was another disdainful laugh, these people were generally young, and their faces looked like they were the eldest and my second, and they looked like they should be some gold-plated aristocrats.
There are so many people in a family that it is impossible for all of them to have a corresponding division of titles. So those who have the power of the nobility will ask some side branches or people who have no hope of becoming successors to find a gilded place, and the army is often their first choice. If you are lucky enough to survive and have a little merit, the people above will do a good job for them, and you can usually get a knighthood with a false title. If they have talent and ability, the family may also allocate more resources to cultivate.
This has also caused the entire aristocratic circle to be intertwined, a stone thrown down and hit a guy casually, and there may be a great family behind him.
Seeing that Raphael was so insulted by these guys, the crew leaned forward one after another, waiting for Raphael to give an order to fight with these guys. Raphael gave them a good welfare package, a good character, a tolerant person, strong strength, a good brain, and a future! This made these crew members want to show in front of Raphael for a long time!
If they can stay on this big tree for a long time, what do they have to worry about for the rest of their lives? Especially Raphael himself is a lord, if he can get some land in the future, then he will be able to marry a wife and have children, and he will no longer have to wander like this at sea!
"Really?" Raphael smiled, took out a white robe with gold trim from the storage ring and put it on his body, the cuffs of the robe were printed with the respective emblems of the three gods, the holy power in the body was visible, the light on it was shining, and a brilliant white light appeared around Raphael's body, which looked sacred and abnormal!
"This ...... Could it be that this guy who came out of nowhere is really a baron of God? "These Second Ancestors are a little hesitant, they still have the courage to arrest some unknown priests who do not have a temple, if they openly arrest a divine baron, then the nature is completely different!
The people of the temple are going crazy right away! That's not something they can afford to take lightly!
"What? Have the courage to bark, but don't have the courage to do it?! Raphael said, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he said in a cold tone. He is not a good temper himself, and he can't be greeted with a smile when he is pointed at his nose and scolded!
