Jahi couldn't stand up to the influence of the council, and he didn't dare to do it, so he had to endure it.

Desperately endure the old man.

He imagined Farah, who was running to his royal council every day with the broken stick to observe, as some court courtesy who was not treated well by him, and tried not to look at his face at the kingdom council.

I wondered how I could give these old bastards a good look after the audit, so that they could understand who was in charge here.

However, no matter what he thought, he couldn't find a way to make the Guardians lose face and keep the Council from thinking about him......

This made him very entangled, and he even frowned and pondered the issue in parliament every day.

And the same is true today.

Our King was so earnest that when his subjects woke him from his deep thoughts, he did not hear what the Chancellor of the Exchequer was talking to him about.

As a result, the important minister of the kingdom, who was dressed in a luxurious Arabian court robe, had no choice but to report his issue again.

"Your Majesty, the merchant fleet sent by the Kingdom to the seaport of Kurast has not sent back a contact message for five or six days, and they should have completed all transactions and returned to our seaport by the beginning of this month.

Based on their speed, they should have arrived at the port of Rugoin three days ago.

But so far, we haven't received any information about their whereabouts......

In addition, there are many private merchant fleets that are also long overdue to return to the port and have not arrived at the appointed time, and your Majesty has asked whether we should send our fleet to look for them. ”

"The merchant fleet failed to arrive on time? Isn't this kind of thing very common? After all, there are frequent storms and waves at sea, and sometimes dense fog, and it is common for the fleet to get lost... Maybe they just got lost and ran on a different route, and maybe they're staying in the bay of another city. ”

When Jayhayne heard this, he just waved his hand unconcernedly.

After all, although there are not many such things, they always happen once or twice a year, and the situation at sea is no more fickle and dangerous than on land, and the sea is much more fickle and dangerous than the desert.

In particular, the last two months have coincided with the annual storm surge in the Twin Seas, with large-scale ocean tides hitting the Splitwind Strait, the entrance to the Nobil Sea and the Twin Seas, from south to north.

At the narrow entrance of the strait, these tides are crushed, and the water vapor formed enters the Nobil Sea through the channel crossing, coupled with the undercurrent and weather influences, during this period of time, the entire Nobil Sea will often have dense fog weather or shallow undercurrents.

Therefore, these months of the year are the peak period for the merchant fleet to get lost.

"Your Majesty, in previous years, the Twin Seas storm surge affected the entire Nobil Sea, but this year, it seems that the trade route between the kingdom and Kurast has been particularly affected... As far as Your Majesty knows, almost all of the ships that departed a month ago and headed for Kurast have not returned on time, and we have not yet received a reply to our letters of kindness to Kurast......"

Hearing the king's response, the Chancellor of the Exchequer did not get off the donkey and expose the matter, but discussed it with Jehine very seriously.

"Really? Didn't even reply to the letter of favoritism? Hearing this, Jayhain frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

Letters of favoritism between the human kingdoms are all directly transmitted by the legendary professionals of the country using their own powers, so as to avoid being intercepted by the forces of hell.

These letters are generally instantaneous, very fast, and cannot be intercepted unless someone above the Legend strikes.

In the area of Camp Rog, Kidd notifies Sherva of the crystal dagger he used when he informs the Assassins of him, and the Ice Crystal that Akara informs Kidd and Kashya of being in the Black Wasteland are typical examples of this method.

Generally speaking, unless there is no need to reply, or there is something urgent that cannot be replied to, the party receiving such a letter will definitely reply.

However, Kurast did not reply in time after receiving the letter of favoritism from Rugoin, which is a bit of a problem.

However, there is also a possibility that the Kurast side was forced to close the port due to a large-scale storm surge, and now the closure has just been lifted, and all ships have been released.

In such a situation, it is normal to receive a letter of favoritism, and it is normal to think that it is not necessary to reply.

After all, the distance to transmit a message across the entire sea area requires a lot of power.

So although Jehein no longer regards this matter as a trivial matter, he doesn't take it to heart very much.

So, he thought for a moment, and then replied to the Chancellor of the Exchequer: "Well, let's wait a while, and if after this time the merchant fleet still hasn't been able to return to port, or if we still haven't received a notice of our fleet from any other city, then send our fleet to find it, and now... It's still a short time, and the consumption of sea ships and warships is not small, and I don't want our fleet to sail out of the bay and find that the merchant fleet is returning head-on......"

When the Chancellor of the Exchequer heard the King's words, he bowed his head and thought for a while, and felt that there should be no problem, so he withdrew among his vassals and did not continue to speak.

This means that he has acquiesced to the king's proposal and is ready to cooperate in its implementation.

The discussion of the matter ended, and the king and his vassals soon began to discuss other matters.

But Farah, who was standing on the sidelines and watching, frowned at the news.

Many years ago, the Order of Master Lugoin had set up a marine energy monitoring station on an island south of the harbor to monitor the intensity of the infernal energy brought from the currents.

Not long ago, the monitoring station had sent a short, rapid warning message, and the spell warning pointer was pointing in the direction of Kurast.

However, due to the short warning time, and the fact that everyone in the Mage Council was busy with the investigation and review of the royal family, this warning was treated as a false alarm.

Originally, Farah didn't pay attention to this matter, after all, the spell warning pointer in that energy monitoring station had not been changed for more than ten years, and it was normal for false alarms to occur.

But now hearing the news at the court meeting, he couldn't help but have a hint of foreboding in his heart.

He opened his mouth to tell the king and his vassals the news, but in the end he did not say it.

Because there was no other clue about this matter except for such a possible false alarm, in order to avoid unnecessary problems and any accidents at this critical juncture, he decided to go back and check the alarm record of the early warning pointer first.

After all, Kurast is also a large harbor city of humans, and there is also a demon god projection that is related to the entire professional training and testing system, so there are many more troops and permanent guardians stationed in Kurast than Rugaoindu.

Even the headquarters of the famous "Iron Wolf" mercenary corps are located there.

The battle mages in "Iron Wolf" are all war veterans who have retired from the Second World Front Fortress, and they are no worse than those professionals who have just arrived in Curast.

With such a group of men, along with the city's "Rainforest" legions and pros and guardians, Farah didn't believe anything could go wrong with the harbor fortress, which was almost a fortress of war.
