Chapter 218: You Can't Pay This Price
And just as Jenn and the others were riding away in a carriage, a "miserable" tragedy was being staged by the Purple Lily River.
"No............!!! My Ark Royal!! โ
Alexander's eyes were red, and he reached out in despair, staring tremblingly at the wreck of the ship in front of him. The ship was now utterly finished, its huge hull in tatters, with shocking cracks everywhere above and below the waterline, and the river gurgling into its hull as the soldiers shouted in vain attempts to stop the ship from sinking further. However, they also knew very well in their hearts that as long as they were not fools at the present scene, they could see that the ship was completely hopeless.
"My Royal Ark............ No!!! Why! Why is this the case!! โ
Alexander's wail resounded in the sky, and he was no better at the moment, although as the owner of the ship, he was rescued by his own subordinates at the first time, but Alexander was now a wolf himself. He was dressed in a suit similar to that of a naval captain, which was already drenched at the moment, and the back of his coat made of gray-blue flannel was torn into pieces. He also wears a wide-brimmed triangular hat on his head, which is quite comical with the current wolf bรจi's unbearable appearance.
I saw that Alexander at this moment was like an angry bull, and he stared at the wreckage of his "battleship" in front of him. For Alexander, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he was doing. He yearns for the sea and longs to sail on the boundless oceans. It's a pity that he was born in the Eagle Plateau, a place where most people have never seen the sea in their lives. As a result, he was only able to buy a decommissioned small warship by some means. Swimming around this river all day long, it is called "patrol inspection". In fact, it is just to satisfy the vanity of his "voyage". As for the other ships that he forced away, Alexander didn't pay attention to them at all. Although there were many complaints among the people about Alexander's actions, he did not care at all. In Alexander's opinion, he can't sail on the vast ocean, just being able to nest in this kind of ghost place is enough to be wronged, and you can be wronged if you are wronged? Besides, the river is so big, who told you not to have eyes?
Because of this, Alexander didn't see anything wrong with what he was doing, he always did. Nothing ever happened either. But today, he felt very aggrieved and angry -- he had already condescended to such a journey, why did such a damn thing happen!
Thinking of this, the more Alexander thought about it, the more angry he became, he grabbed a soldier passing by him, stared at him angrily, and roared loudly.
"Who!! Who is it!! Who the fuck is it!? โ
"Great, sir?"
In the face of Alexander's wrath. The hapless soldier was completely blinded, and did not know what was going on, so he could only look at Alexander pitifully. And seeing his appearance as a lost dog, Alexander was even more angry. He opened his mouth and roared loudly, spitting at the other man's face.
"Who is it? Who the fuck sank my ship?! Say! Tell me!! Which bastard the hell!! โ
"Me. I do not know......... My lord............! โ
"Then why don't you hurry up and find out!!"
Hearing the other party's answer, Alexander suddenly became angry. A punch slammed the hapless guy in the face, knocking him to the ground. He gritted his teeth. His face was flushed, and he stared at the terrified soldier in front of him, as if he was a madman who wanted to eat people.
"Check it out!! Now the whole city of Huafu is under martial law!! I'm going to get that bastard out, I'm going to kill him, and I'm going to kill his whole family!! I'm going to hang his whole family in Nax Square! Let everyone know that this is what those bastards should do!! I'm going to make him pay---!! โ
Alexander looked up to the sky and roared, anger and murderous intent erupting from his mouth, causing everyone present to tremble. They all knew very well that Alexander was a hot-tempered and fierce and cruel fellow, and this time he actually had such a big anger, thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
It seems that this time, there is big trouble.
Under Alexander's orders, soon the soldiers went to search for clues, which was not a difficult thing for them. As the head of the land, it was too easy for these soldiers to ask for some news. Not to mention that there were so many people who saw what happened in full view of the people at that time, although it was a bit embarrassing to say it, the soldiers were sure that they could find out who exactly collided with the Ark Royal at that time.
For them, it's a very simple thing.
But when they began to investigate, the unlucky ones realized that things were completely different from what they had imagined. Strictly speaking, there were no ships colliding with the Ark Royal at that time, after all, Alexander's speed was so fast, the other ships thought about avoiding it at the first time, and they would be idle and bored and collide directly, this is not a kamikaze, what good is it for them to hit a cruise ship transformed from a battleship?
In the absence of conclusive evidence, and because Alexander's domineering behavior had already aroused public outrage, every time he traveled, he was impromptu and did not even have the slightest warning. Therefore, many ship owners are afraid every time they sail, for fear that they will be unlucky when they encounter this guy and go crazy. Not only that, but Alexander's actions will bring a lot of losses to the people every time. The shipwreck and cargo sinking are considered light, and if you are not careful, you may even die. And this kind of thing is not once or twice, because of this, plus there is no hard evidence. Therefore, the investigation of those soldiers quickly reached an impasse, and they have to admit that this was really a bit unexpected for them, and in the end, these soldiers could only bite the bullet and continue the investigation, hoping to find out the real culprit as much as possible. to appease his grumpy boss.
Otherwise, they would be the ones who are unlucky. It is conceivable if they get nothing. Then Alexander would definitely take his anger out on these poor men, who knew all about Alexander's cruelty and tyranny. It can be sure that if there is no more harvest, then for these unlucky people, life has already come to an end.
And while these soldiers were scurrying around the city of Warford like headless flies, the real culprit was now enjoying a relaxing and happy time in the golden inn. The elegant sound of the piano echoed through the spacious room, and Jenn sat on the balcony, admiring the view outside, and it was already late in the evening. The sun is about to sink to the bottom of the horizon. The bright red sunset is like a thin veil shrouded in the city of a thousand rivers, accompanied by the reflection of the river, and it feels like the whole city is shrouded in a bright red.
But not everyone is so relaxed, for example, Elinster is very nervous at the moment.
She was traveling as Jenn's servant this time, so she couldn't go around like those travelers, see the sights, and see the sights. But Irest was not unhappy with this, on the contrary, she liked the arrangement. Because of my own physical reasons. It's easy to spot the "other" part of her. Rather than suffer from other people's eyes at that time, it is better to follow the side of adults as you are now, and just do your own thing.
That's right, just do your own thing............
Elinster bowed her head. He walked towards Jenn with a tray of tea. During her time at the monastery, she not only learned the manners of the nobles, but also learned how to serve the nobles from Lily of the Valley and Jasmine. Now is the time to show Jenn what he's learned. Come to think of it. Elinster couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but she took a deep breath. Forcing himself to calm down, he walked to Jenn's side step by step. Then he took out the tea set and placed it in front of Jenn. She was very careful in her movements, lest she make a little noise. Because Jasmine once told her that if a maid was clumsy and always made a noise, then not only would she be looked down upon, but even her master would be despised. Because he did not educate his servants well, and such a master was obviously not entitled to the respect of others.
The first is the tea tray......... And then there's the teacup............ Place it at the right angle...............
While recalling Jasmine's previous teachings in her heart, Elinster reached out and placed the cutlery in her hand in front of Jenn one by one. She could feel that Enoa and Patilina were looking at her, which made the little one feel a lot of pressure, but even so, she remembered Jasmine's words and forced herself to act as if she didn't feel anything, just to focus on what was in front of her. Although the speed is a little slow, Irimp is still very good, and the placement is quite smooth, even if it is a little jerky, it is just because of the unskillful guidance, as long as it is ............
"Knock knock!"
At this moment, suddenly, there was a knock on the door, which startled Irlist, and the teapot in her hand also hit the teacup with a "bell", making a series of sounds. And this scene also made the already nervous Irnest more and more panicked, but before she could do anything more, she saw the door open with a "bang", and then dozens of heavily armed soldiers rushed into the room and surrounded everyone.
"You guys are so bold!!"
Seeing these trespassing soldiers, Jenn didn't say anything, but Patilina was the first to jump, although she was not as good as Enoa as an adjutant and as a maid as Alice, but as a guard, there was no one more competent than her. And almost at the same time as these soldiers pulled out their weapons, the little guy had already stretched out his right hand, and the next moment, the silver-white spear roared out of the space, and swept through with a fierce wind, forcing the soldiers in front of him to retreat.
"Who are you?"
It was only at this time that Enoa leisurely walked out from behind Jenn and quietly watched the soldiers who suddenly appeared in front of her. Alice, on the other hand, had already come to Irlist's side at this moment and began to deal with the mess that had been messed up because of the fright. Jenn, on the other hand, was still just looking at the sky outside, as if he was so absorbed in the beauty that he didn't notice what was happening.
"We are the guards of the city garrison of Warford."
I don't know if it was because Patilina's spear was pointed at them and felt threatened, or if the indifferent attitude of the crowd made these soldiers a little worried, and their initial toughness was much less at the moment. Looking at each other's appearances, there are shoguns, maids, and guards. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a noble nobleman, they only hurried over after getting the news before, they thought that the people who lived here were just rich businessmen and the like, but if it was a nobleman, then they would be a little reckless to come this time.
But since they have already come, it is naturally impossible to return empty-handed. The guards were stunned for a moment when they were confronted by Enoa's questioning, and soon a man dressed as a captain stepped out of it, and he first saluted the crowd before speaking.
"I'm sorry to disturb you, in fact, we received a tip that someone here is suspected of attacking a ship, so we rushed to check it out, and if there is anything inappropriate, please forgive the rudeness, but ......... I would like to ask you, are you involved in this? โ
Speaking of this, the captain was also a little hesitant. Because according to the informant, the other party should indeed be five people, four women and one man, and now what he saw was the same as the intelligence showed, plus the black carriage was also parked in this hotel, and the innkeeper also admitted that they came in this carriage, then if it is correct, these people should be the culprits.
But............... Who are they?
Hearing the Captain's inquiry, Enoa smiled lightly.
"Assault on ships?"
"Yes, today during the day on the Purple Lily River, someone witnessed it with their own eyes........."
However, before the captain's words were finished, Jenn finally spoke. He turned his head, first picked up the teacup and took a sip of black tea, then squinted his eyes and looked at the captain of the guard in front of him with a cold smile.
"If you're talking about the idiot ship that is going on a rampage in front of us, that's what we did. It can only be regarded as self-inflicted on its own merits if it had not been so stupid to stand in our way, why should it suffer such a catastrophe? Isn't it true that people who make mistakes are punished? โ
I'm going to go!
Hearing Jenn's words, the soldiers almost didn't bare their eyes out. Once upon a time, they thought that their boss was arrogant enough, but they did not expect that this young man was even more arrogant, arrogant, and tougher than Alexander.
"Now that you've confessed, I'm sorry, sir, and it looks like you're going to have to go with us."
Since the other party has admitted it himself, then there is no need to ask anything here, it is obvious that there is only one thing they have to do next.
"Lord Alexander is searching the city, and I hope you will lay down your arms and come with us."
"What if I refuse?"
"I advise you not to refuse."
In the face of Jenn's answer, the Captain of the Guard's tone also became much colder.
"You may be strong, but we are not the only ones in Warfour, and even if you defeat us, there will be other soldiers who will come to you for trouble. For your sake, I would like to ask you to come with me, otherwise I am afraid that you will pay an unimaginable price. โ
"The price?"
Hearing this, Jenn sneered, and then he looked at the guard captain again, the corners of his mouth slightly curled.
"Interesting......... I think you're a very interesting person, but unfortunately, as a nobleman, I also have my pride and dignity. Go tell the idiot named Alexander that he'd better stop bothering me, or else............ I'll make him pay a price he can't afford. (To be continued......)
