Law of the Devil

(Today's update, 2 in 1 chapter)

Chapter 142 [Strange Fleet]

Though it is still early summer, the noon sun has slightly revealed some poisonous spiciness and the rays of raw light shine on the river's waters.

This is the port of Nke, about 30 miles downstream of the Grand Canal Emperor. It is also an important auxiliary port around Didu.

The great canal of the Empire traverses the Empire East and West, spends generations of Empire Emperor's hard work, generations of effort to open several major rivers of the Roland continent from east to west, and then opens to the sea, forming the Empire's eastern and western aorta. It became an important conduit for transfusion of blood into the Empire's heart, the Emperor Du.

However, with hundreds of years of peaceful and prosperous life, the Emperor's flourishing continent was crowned, and the original port terminal of the Emperor City, although it had been expanded several generations, was still unable to meet the throughput of increasingly busy ships. So, in order to ease and differentiate the burden on the port of Didu, a few decades ago, about 30 miles downstream of Didu, this port of Enkh was built to share the throughput of the port of Didu.

Decades of development, plus tax revenues in the port of God, are 20 percent higher than here, so some small and medium-sized merchants tend to be willing to dock the fleet here, and while the goods will have to be transferred from land to Dido here, the tax revenues here are a little cheaper and somewhat less costly for land transportation.

And surrounding this port of Enkh, a town of tens of thousands of people has been born for decades, and the town has gathered several freight carriers near Tidu.

At this moment, just next to a merchant terminal in Port Nke, a large vessel has just docked steadily, a standard sea-going, three-mast shape that allows such a vessel to increase to a fast speed when there is plenty of wind at sea.

The boat had stabilized, the boat had already jumped two businessmen, and the Empire's official tax officer waiting on the dock whispered for a moment. After paying the taxes, he grabbed another gold coin and hid it in the hands of the tax officer with his sleeve. The other party laughed, saving even the inspection, and signed the document directly.

There was already a large group of hard-working porters waiting to work at the pier. They came up and asked for a loud and loud time, hoping to get a little work done.

“Sir, hire me! Hire me! My manpower is light! If you have any valuable goods, your goods will never be damaged! ”

“Dear sir, hire me! I have 20 men, two bronze horns each! Two copper horns! ”

In this noise, the other side of the boat had already put down a plank, and two tall women walked shoulder to shoulder from the boat, two women, one wearing lightweight knight armor, looking like flowers, especially a pair of long, sturdy legs, were even more amazing. The other one is even more surprising, wearing a white magician's robe, but one that should have been an ancient magician's robe, she changed her face by herself, one robe was changed into two separate long shirts, and there was also a thin leather coat, look at the texture, I don't know what the leather of the beast was made of, and there was a bright red cape behind it. More notably, the sorceress had long, bright silver hair and lived in the sun. It was supposed to be a delicate face, but her face was indifferent, especially a pair of eyes. Even more so, she couldn't help but feel the cold in her heart!

Such a combination of rare female knights and magicians stepped off the boat and immediately attracted the attention of others, but as the famous female magician hummed coldly, those close to him couldn't help but fight a cold war and quickly retracted his gaze and dared not look anymore.

“Joanna, look, it's like everybody's scared of you.” Ruo Lin smiled slightly, she looked at the busy appearance below, sighed and summoned one of the boat's men: “Find someone to look at, unload the cargo quickly, there are new cargo to get on the boat tonight, if it is too late to load the boat at night, watch your legs! ”

These two were Dewey's first female knight, Jolene, and that violent sorceress, Joanna. When Dewey sent the flipped Captain Jax Parrow to the north with his new harvest, George Bush, to look for the Snow Wolf Mercenary Corps, they quickly found the Snow Wolf Mercenary Corps and handed in Dewey's handwritten letter. When the mercenary corps leader Bain Rich received the letter, he was saddened: he had just hunted a shipment out of the ice-covered forest, but the smugglers willing to take over were so dark that they pressed prices 20 percent lower than on weekdays! Bain Rich was so upset about the matter that he received a letter from Dewey that he immediately decided to sell all the goods in his hand to Dewey.

Meanwhile, Bienrich contacted several friends of the small and medium-sized mercenary group who had a good relationship with him and decided that all future prey would be sold to Dewey as long as Dewey's bid remained at such a level in the future.

The pirate captain returned loaded and there were ports in the north anyway, so Jolyn was contacted to send three boats to the north to pick up the cargo. Received three shipments, Ruo Lin's heart is also a little anxious, this trafficking in warcraft is illegal after all. We'll have to wait for little master Dewey to find a way to get legal approval. But Dewey had left the Rollin Plains to come to Didu, so Jolyn had to go to Didu to talk to Dewey.

After all, this woman was the one who used to travel north and south with a small group of adventurers. Naturally, there are plans in her mind. She thought: under the banner of the Rollins of Dewey, this legal approval is certainly not difficult to obtain. If so, why not simply take a boat of goods directly to Didu! Wouldn't it be a good thing to wait till Didu and get the approval, and in Didu, this kind of warcraft's nucleus and fur skeleton and other things are more expensive than anywhere else, and then make a big fortune?

So, of the three shipments bought from the north, two go south, one enters the Grand Canal from the entrance to the East Sea, and then goes west to Didu.

It's just that things like this beast fur are illegal, and unless there are imperial papers in hand, these things are explicitly forbidden. In order to cover his eyes and ears, the ship also deliberately trafficked a shipment of ordinary leather goods on board. It was the goods of the leather merchant who had good relations with Dewey on the Rollins Plains. It also took the same seamless boat to get the goods to Didu, saving a lot of freight, and when the boat arrived in Didu, it unloaded the goods, and by the time it returned, it was an empty boat, passing through the Cot where the Rollins Plains were located. When Lynn promised to return to the ship, she could lend it to the owner of the leather goods to transport the goods, just as he was purchasing a lot of things from Didu. This saves a lot of shipping. It's just that all the joints that were cleared along the way were taken care of by this leather merchant pie.

A boat like this, half of the cargo is made of fur skeletons broken down from the corpses of warcraft from the frozen forest, and a small sack of magic nuclei, Jolyn carried it with her.

Two beautiful women got off the boat, and the unloading next door had already been taken care of by one of the men sent by the leather owner, only the sailors on the boat, originally from pirates, where did they come from in Teitou? Although it is still more than thirty miles from the Emperor, the bustling town of Port Enkh is already overwhelming. Hotels and hotels are not far from the port, and prostitutes dressed in flowers and branches come and go to and from the lobby. They see a group of pirates as itchy. They can't help but jump immediately and enjoy the wine.

Jolyn has been taking these pirates for some time now, knowing that these guys are raw and crude, and that they usually know how to control their men, and to have Zhang Yu relaxed. Seeing this place, one has to laugh and scold, and order the people on board to get off the ship and rest in batches, but only strictly not to cause trouble.

The pirates listened, one look at the green light, thank Jolyn, then take the money, change clothes, less than a moment, half run, only those lucky enough to be on duty, watching the happy companions leave, had to curse.

“Humph!" Looking at the thrill of the pirates, Joanna naturally knew that these guys got off the boat and went to the port town to have fun. I'm afraid they had to drink and prostitute and other things. Thinking about this, there was a rage in her heart. If she hadn't stayed with these pirates these days, she would have gotten used to these people's rudeness. I'm afraid an "icestorm” magic would have blown over. Even so, she couldn't help but be cold in her face. She whispered: “A bunch of nasty men! ”

Jolyn had long been used to it, as had most of the rude men she knew when she went south and broke into the north. She looked at Joanna's face and laughed: "Miss Joanna, we're here now. We'll go see Master Dewey when the carriage is ready. ”

“Psst!” Joanna had a strange look on her face, but she didn't hesitate to say: “Why did I go to see that little bastard? Hmm, go yourself! Me and you come to Didu, first to help you crush the boat, second to come, I have things to do myself to come to Didu. Well, by the way... you send me a message to that little bastard and say what I Joanna promised him, I'm done! I owe him nothing from now on! Next time let me meet him, I must make him suffer! ”

Speaking of which, Joanna glanced at Jolyn and couldn't help but say: "Jolyn, you can't get along these days, but you have a good talent for martial arts, but unfortunately you haven't met any good teachers since you were a child. I've taught you some of these days, but I know for myself that I'm not a teacher, so I can't help you much. Why are people like you following that little bastard Dewey? Why don't you come with me? My teacher is one of the best in the world. He has martial arts and magic. You follow me back. I ask him to take you as an apprentice...”

Before she finished, she saw Lauryn looking at herself with a smile and sighed: “Okay, I know you're going to refuse again. In that case, we'll see each other again! ”

Come on, Joanna took a deep look at Lauryn and whispered: “I have a sister, but I have never been all the way with her. Every time I see her, I get angry, but it's you, which makes me love it. It would be great if I could have a sister like you. ”

Joanna hugged Jolene so hard, she said goodbye, she was a magician, she was always raw and arrogant, she did whatever she wanted, and despite so many people around her, she flew away, and then turned into a light wind in the direction of the Emperor, and disappeared for a moment.

This time, the surrounding crowd immediately boiled. The people on the continent of Roland feared the magician most, and suddenly a magician flew out of nowhere, carrying out magic far away, and had to scream.

Ruo Lin frowned and looked at Joanna in the direction of her departure. She sighed low. When she raised her head, she sighed at some gazed sailors behind her and drank: "Haven't you seen Joanna the Mage do magic? What a fool! Get to work! ”

Then Jolyn spoke to one of the men sent by the leather merchant. The leather merchant in the Rollin Plains seemed determined to take care of the big tree, Dewey, and this time he was sent to the person in charge of the ship's delivery, he had his own brother, a 40-year-old middle-aged man.

His name is Hebang, and he has been traveling south for half his life. He is a very clever and capable guy. On this road, he boarded the boat terminal, and did everything in front of Jolyn, which is extremely thoughtful. Without waiting for Jolyn's instructions, he had already searched for a cheap warehouse in the port of Enkh himself (because it was a big port on the back of Tidu, with lots of low-cost leased warehouses around the port town), arranged for a boat of cargo to be unloaded and transported into the warehouse, and he kept searching for a wagon and horse shop and agreed on a price.

Jolyn was grateful to him, but Hebang laughed: “By the time I came, my brother had already told me that Miss Jolyn was a knight, how noble she was, and where she could work these common things herself, I would naturally have to do it on my behalf. ”

Jolyn thanked him for two words, and Hepburn asked: "The cargo on the boat has been taken down. Miss Jolyn, are you going to the Emperor today? I am also going to go to several shopping malls, I have sent someone to rent a carriage, so let's go. ”

“Just in time, I am also going to meet our Young Master. When the Young Master orders, the goods here are also well transported out, otherwise they cannot remain in the warehouse. ”

They were walking on the pier and suddenly heard a loud horn on the canal!

If Lynn looks back, she sees a wide river, and the main channel is occupied by a fleet of dozen merchant ships. Unlike the scattered merchant ships that are constantly crossing the river, this vast fleet of cargo carriers is clearly carrying a flag embroidered with green oak branches on the head of the fleet. No one occupies the main channel next to it, and even the merchant ships surrounding it recognize the flag, so far away they avoid it.

Above this fleet, there is actually a regular Imperial Army in uniform armor. Look at that, it is actually an official Imperial Guard!

“This is clearly a merchant ship and not an official flag. How can there be an Imperial Guard escort? The river is so wide, but you have to occupy it alone. You can't let people go in parallel with them. It's very hegemonic!” Jolyn frowned.

“Miss Jolyn is here for the first time, isn't she?” Hepburn glanced and whispered: "Don't say more! This fleet is not easy to come by! ”

“Oh?”

Hepburn sneaked a finger at the oak flag on the fleet's head and whispered, “See? That's the flag of the Solomon family. That's the merchant ship of the Solomon family. He backs the royal business, the family business has His Majesty the Emperor in it, he makes a lot of gold coins for the royal family every year, and he also helps to manage a lot of royal property! No one else can compete against this background! ”

Hebangzheng looked at it for a while and said: “The water line of the boat is very deep. It looks like a lot of heavy cargo is being transported up there. It is about to be the summer festival. It is probably Solomon's supply to the royal family from all over the place. ”

Ruo Lin shook her head: “It shouldn't be any offering. The summer festival will be here soon. If it is, I'm afraid it should have been ready a month ago. It's just now. It's too much...”

Hepburn laughed, “Whatever it is he gave us, it has nothing to do with us. ”

If Lynn nodded, she couldn't help but look at the fleet twice. She was a martial artist. She could see at first glance on the fleet from afar. Removing those close guards did not count, even the sailors were strong, full of spirit, and vigorous. Ruo Lin felt a little weird in her heart...

By the time the rented carriage Mercedes-Benz arrived in Didu, it was already afternoon. Naturally, the rented carriage was far less expensive and comfortable than the Rollins' carriage, and the bump was fine. I just didn't know what kind of seafood the carriage had originally transported, and the cabin smelled salty. It doesn't matter if Lynn gets used to the sea these days. Hebang was a little unbearable. He was the boss's own brother. He was also a noble figure in the family business. He was usually served. He was bored in the carriage for a while and almost didn't throw up.

When he arrived at the eastern gate of Emperor Du, he watched as the east gate dramatically lined up to enter and exit the Emperor's horse pedestrian, and Jolyn sighed: “Here we are, just so many people, when will we wait? ”

“This is good enough.” Hebang covered his nose and smiled bitterly: “I heard that the city gate tax in Didu has risen again... Alas, we do business, the goods can not be shipped directly to Didu port, we can only disembark at Enkh port, we have to carry a carriage to Didu, there is already an extra freight cost, the city gate tax has risen again, we have to lose another... this business is getting harder and harder to do. ”

By the time she entered Didu, it was evening. If Lynn didn't want to ride in the carriage anymore, she was a knight. How could she always ride in the carriage? Without waiting for the Count, he bought a few horses in the city, tidied up his face, and took two old men, who were also taken in together by Dewey. Jolyn came to the Count Hall as two of the former adventure team's followers, an archer, a barbarian bull warrior, three horsemen, and asked all the way.

The servants outside the Count's Palace looked at the arrival of the three Jolyn wearing the armored style of the Rollins' own private army, but the appearance had never been seen, which was strange.

Jolyn walked forward, identified himself, was Young Master Dewey's direct subordinate. The inside man briefed him. A moment later, Mudd ran out and immediately took Jolyn and the three of them in.

•

Dewey was hiding alone in the room studying the skeletons of a bunch of warcraft.

Since returning from the Count's study the day before yesterday, Dewey has not been able to close the door and is only messing with his things in the room.

He got a lot of good stuff from that old lunatic of Eriko. He wrote the recipe at home that was said to replace “secret silver”. He took stock of his stock of goods and found that he had 20 different things, but there were only seven or eight things in his hand, but he didn't have any. I don't think Eriko had much stock there. If he wanted to get it, he had to do something else.

Dewey is not worried about anything else, so long as he can get himself a seed, he can successfully cultivate it by relying on the magical "passage of time".

The magic in the formula was being carefully studied, and Mudd had informed and then brought Jolyn in.

Dewey put away her things, closed the door, and met Jolyn outside in the meeting room.

In a few months, Jolyn appeared to have taken off her face and faced her own fears of sincerity. She became more mature, taller and taller, and more prominent. Her full-bodied chest became more and more rounded in curvature. Especially those long legs, which allowed Dewey to praise her more and more, showed a youthful running breath.

Life at sea exposed her skin to a sexy wheat color, her face slightly thinner but more spiritual.

“Sit down.” Dewey dragged her chin with one hand and leaned lazily against the chair, looking at Jolyn, smiling: “You've worked hard. I'll remember your credit. Tell me, why did you come all the way to the Emperor to find me? ”

Jolyn sat on the lower chair next to Dewey, looking good and reporting back. Speaking of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Corps joining several other mercenary corps willing to sell their goods together and hoping for long-term cooperation, Dewey immediately said: "Take it! Why not? There's nothing to hesitate about. We have ships now, and all we need is cargo. Captain Bienrich was a good friend of mine who lived and died with me, and a man of my esteem, and more importantly, I saved the lives of more than a hundred of them, and he was a trustworthy man. ”

“Yes.” Jolyn nodded: “That's what I thought, too. Before I got here, I had drafted an agreement for you to read, and if there's nothing wrong with that, I'll send someone north this time. There is one more thing..."

After Jolyn had said that she had brought a boat of cargo to Didu this time, Duvalier frowned for a while and said, “This is a problem, but it should not be difficult to solve. Wait two days and I will find a way to fix this. ”

“There is also the question of money.” Jolyn laughed bitterly: "You didn't have much money to take to the north on the Jax Palo boat, and this time we bought so much cargo, we didn't have any cash at all. However, you are trusted on board the Bain Rich vessel of the Snow Wolf Mercenaries, and with his help we only left a deposit of 10,000 gold coins and shipped the goods back first. So I'm here to ask you for money. ”

Dewey immediately shouted into Mudd and asked Jolyn to follow Mudd to the money. Thinking about it, Dewey said: "For all the goods this time, pay 10% more to Captain Bainrich. He's a good friend of mine. Thanks again for your help this time. I can't help but pay him back! ”

Jolyn nodded immediately and thought about it. The knight suddenly said: "Master Dewey, when I was in Port Enkh, I saw a fleet of Romans on the canal... but the fleet seemed odd...”
