Chapter 413: Setting Sail I.
Dean walked side by side with the Grand Duke Swordsman through the streets of Southport in the middle of the night, and behind them was a party of about one hundred and fifty guards from Emerald Castle—
"You've guessed what Rodell really is?"
The Grand Duke Swordsman asked Dean as he directed the guards behind him to form a team and search the South Harbor.
"Just cautiously probed...... Then, there was such an amazing discovery! ”
Dean replied with a smile.
"Alright! Be careful - keep an eye out for inns and taverns, and announce the hunt to the inquirer! ”
The Grand Duke Swordsman looked at Dean's smiling appearance, and in the end, he didn't continue to ask anything, after all, they were in one camp, and Dean was not malicious.
Therefore, in the next moment, the Grand Duke Sword Master focused his attention on the search thoroughly.
A team of one hundred and fifty people, divided into about thirty teams.
With the number of five people in each team, it is quickly interspersed throughout the entire South Port.
Of course, the most important of these is the docklands, where there are more than twenty such search teams.
In particular, the three main thoroughfares of the docks, which are full of pubs, restaurants and inns, are taken care of.
However, such a search did not get the desired effect -
"My lord, I didn't find out!"
This is not the first team, reporting to the Grand Duke Sword Master.
"Keep searching!"
Similarly, this is not the first time that the Grand Duke Swordsman has said this.
"Rodel is even more cunning than we thought - he should have a similar secret stronghold in Southport, even, more than one!"
Dean said.
"I just want his stronghold to be in the South Harbor. Not some wilderness - that would be hard for us to do! ”
The Grand Duke Swordsman was worried.
"Don't worry! Absolutely not! ”
Dean said with certainty. And then. Looking at the puzzled eyes of the Grand Duke Swordsman, Dean explained with a smile: "Instructor, you may not have paid too much attention to the wizard Rodel, he is so particular from the beginning of his dress, and the environment he is in is spotless and luxuriously decorated - such a character, you don't want him to go deep into any wilderness, even if he chooses a secret stronghold." He won't let himself be wronged any more! So, we can start with those...... Eliminate civilian areas, black streets, etc., and search towards commercial districts and even uptown! ”
"What if he deliberately chose a civilian area, a black street, etc.?"
Grand Duke Swordsman asked cautiously.
"So, we have to do both, and we can also have an extra 'insurance' - Your Highness's letter to Mystic Law Island should have already been written, right? A messenger to Mycfa Island is essential, and I think I'm a good fit! ”
Dean spoke his mind.
"You're going to Mystic Island?"
The Grand Duke was stunned for a long time.
"This matter, if not resolved by Kuài, will definitely have an impact on His Highness's reputation - and. The wizards on the Secret Law Island are not so kind. Therefore, His Highness needs a reliable and powerful messenger; In the same way, even if Rodell runs back to the Mystic Island, he needs someone who can subdue him! Therefore, I think I am the most suitable! ”
Dean said with a smile.
"This requires the consent of His Highness!"
Grand Duke Swordsman pondered for a moment, and did not object to Dean's statement.
Because the Grand Duke of Swordsmanship found that, as Dean had said, the Jade Grand Duke needed a reliable messenger.
And in the entire three southern counties, there are only a few people with such an identity.
Aside from that, apart from the three county kings, there are only her and her friend 'Black Rose'.
However, with her friend's personality, she was clearly not suitable to serve as such a messenger, and she now had a search mission.
Dean is the right person.
has the status of a nobleman, and his strength reaches silver, which is enough to deal with a qiē.
"Well, then, I'll go and ask Your Highness - and, I think we can set it up again...... Perhaps, the Lord Rodel will take a risk! ”
Dean said with a deep meaning in his words.
"It takes a lot of planning!"
Grand Duke Swordsman nodded slightly.
"Of course!"
Dean smiled, jumped on his horse, and ran towards the Emerald Castle.
……
At this time, the Emerald Castle, the banquet has ended.
In fact, with the departure of Dean, the protagonist of the banquet, the banquet itself has already come to an end.
Except for the three county kings, the rest of the guests left one after another.
Therefore, when Dean returned to the Emerald Castle again, the candles in the hall had dimmed, but the lights in the Emerald Archduke's study were bright.
Led by the butler David, Dean walked into the study.
In addition to the Archduke of Emerald, the Count of Merry, the two countesses of Katyu and Deta were all in the study.
After Dean's greetings one by one, he repeated what he had said to the Grand Duke Sword Master before—
"Dean, you're here as a messenger?"
Grand Duke Jade paused, and then said frankly: "Just now I have contacted the wizard tower of the secret law island through Guò to send the crystal, but the tower master is obviously very unfriendly...... Originally, I wanted one of Meri, Katyu, and Deta to be a messenger and go in my place! ”
"Count Merry, the two countesses of Kaqiu and Deta, are both county kings of the three southern counties, and their identities are sufficient, even far beyond them, which seems too grand, and my identity is just right - although I don't want to show anything, but Your Highness, you and the wizards have a cooperative relationship, even if they build you a magic cannon, it doesn't mean that they have given you a favor! After all, you're paying nearly twice as much as Kimpton! ”
With that, Dean saluted again as a sign of offense in his words.
"Your Highness, Dean is right - your kindness is well known, but ...... You need to be harsh too! We don't need to do anything, we just show our attitude! ”
The Countess of Deta also spoke, and. On Dean's side.
Dean's words. Able to handle this! ”
Earl Merry looked at Dean and smiled. There is no intention of any objection.
And the last Countess of Katyu, although she didn't have any words, she also had no objection - from the perspective of the Jade Grand Duke, Countess Katyu naturally knew how to choose.
"Okay!"
Grand Duke Emerald nodded, looked at Dean, and said, "Dean, I appoint you as my messenger to the Wizard Tower on the Mystic Island—I don't want to see the strong bullying the weak, but it's the same. I don't want greed to affect my friendship with the Wizard Tower of Mystic Island! ”
"Of course!"
Dean nodded, and then continued, "Your Highness, there's something else about Rodel - I think it's an opportunity...... Even if we fail, it's nothing, and if we succeed, it's a windfall! ”
"Over to you, Dean!"
After thinking about it for a while, the Jade Grand Duke did not object, and gave full authority to Dean.
Afterwards. Dean slowly left the study, led by the butler David, and left the Emerald Castle.
And the three counts of Merry, Katyu, and Deta. He continued to stay in the study, talking about certain things with the Jade Grand Duke.
For these things, Dean was not interested.
The tax table made of parchment on the desk of the Jade Grand Duke has already been illustrated.
Dean doesn't think he's good at it.
Especially when the Emerald Archduke repeatedly wants to cut taxes so that the people under his jurisdiction can get a better life, and the three county kings want more Kimpton to build their own territory, such a completely unsolvable proposition, Dean has no better solution.
In fact, Dean also has some speculation about the final result -
It's nothing more than a step back for each side.
The three county kings reduced some of their taxes, and the Jade Grand Duke opened the treasure house of the Emerald Castle in his own name to compensate the three county kings.
"You're always thinking about others, but you've forgotten yourself...... But, thank you for being by my side! ”
Dean rode on his horse, turned his head and forgot about the brightly lit windows in the Emerald Castle, and said silently in his heart.
Then, Dean slapped his horse and quickly blended into the night.
……
A new day, as the sun rises, begins.
The soft, warm sunlight spread across the sea and shone into the South Harbor Dock, completely enveloping the new fleet of the Zelgaon family, making them all look so vibrant.
Ten large ships lined up and appeared on the Nangang wharf, which naturally attracted the attention of everyone on the wharf.
After all, although there are many ships on the docks of Nangang, it is still very rare for a fleet of ten large ships, especially two of which are Galen ships.
Therefore, people are talking about it.
After hours of repairs, Dean and Tom showed up at the docks.
"Young Master!"
Ronk and Nord stood at the dock, looking at Dean as he approached, and immediately greeted.
As the first voyage of the re-established Zelgaon family fleet, Ronk, as an elder, was naturally to follow, after all, the secret art of navigation was in his hands.
Nord followed, on the other hand, because he had to adapt and learn to sail like this.
When Ronke, as an elder, could no longer follow the fleet, he took over such a position.
"Those captains, first mates, and sailors have been replaced by our people, the original people on the ship, I sent someone to investigate carefully, if it is clear, we will hire again!"
As he walked, Elder Ronk said.
Although there is a contract, some bold guys are definitely not bound by a contract.
Therefore, after taking over the fleet, Dean had already ordered to go down and start replacing the original man with the men of the Zelgaon family.
"Also, the Chancellor's subordinates have been waiting for you on the flagship!"
Elder Ronk deliberately lowered his voice.
"Let him come to me!"
Dean said.
