Law of the Devil Chapter 344: [Heavy burden]
Chapter 344 [Burden]
The number of tulip family fleets is not the biggest one in terms of quantity compared to the prosperous Emperor Wharf, which has the first-class throughput in the mainland. But the problem is that this The fleet is still too eye-catching. First of all, the twenty large ships are all sea-soul-class ships. This is extremely rare in the inland canals. It can be said that if it was not for the historical need to meet the triumphant victory of the South Ocean Expedition The river has been widened many times, so it is difficult for such a large ship to enter the capital directly from the waterway.
And second, it is "attribute" to the dazzling flame tulip banner on board.
The huge fleet actually occupies the river, and even moored at the pier for too long. The original imperial pier had a large number of merchant ships in and out of it every day. It was suddenly occupied by such a large fleet of sea vessels. Berths, of course, seemed crowded. However, no one else dares to provoke this tulip banner.
Under the supervision of the officials and soldiers of the Imperial Metropolitan Government, the huge fleet began to unload the cargo. The huge and heavy boxes were removed from the large ships. The samurai warriors of the heavily armed tulip family were closely guarded and small. Zac personally supervised the scene and mobilized hundreds of large carts to move it back and forth.
It took two days of hot work to unload all the ships. At this time, if the attentive person will find that an official of the sheriff's office responsible for inspection at the dock is already sweating!
Since the day of the coup, the Solomon family used merchant ships to quietly transport a group of archers into the city. After the coup, the docks entering and leaving the capital were closely investigated. Fortunately, Du Wei and the current sheriff's office commander Camisiro have a good personal relationship (Camisiro is about to step down from the sheriff's office and serve in the military. He is also happy to sell Dewey before leaving office). Therefore, the inspection of these tulip cargoes of the Tulip family was not strict. They just randomly took two or three cargo boxes and opened them. It was not a prohibited weapon or a dangerous person who was smuggled in. Then they were released.
But ... the detail worth mentioning is that it was in one of the cargo holds on board during the inspection. Little Zach opened a box at random in front of the official of the sheriff's office, and as soon as the box opened a seam, the official took a deep breath, and then exclaimed: "Almighty God!"
The golden color of the box was reflected on his face, almost blinding the poor fellow! At this moment, greed in human nature. Surprised, no doubt.
Little Zack closed the box immediately, then found a gold nugget the size of about half a brick from his sleeve, shoved it into the official's hand, and said lightly: "This lord. What's on the file? Write, how do you go back, you have counted it. "
This man only feels heavy, such a large piece of gold ... even though it is a fatty to be an inspection officer at the dock. But such a large piece of gold is more than enough for one or two years of income! He laboriously shoved the heavy gold into his arms, put it close to him, and then quickly nodded to the chief executive of the Duke of Tulips.
That's it. The twenty ships of gold and silver jewellery are recorded in the documents of the inspectors of the Imperial Metropolitan Public Security Department: Nanyang native products.
And as a result, inspectors and record officers. They each received an income worth thousands of gold coins, and the Sheriff's Office commanded the house of Lord Camisiro. On the evening of the same day, the tulip family sent a box of "Nanyang native products".
Of course, Du Wei doesn't expect to conceal everyone, because after a long time, it will still be spread. only. He needs to have a legal "entry procedure" for his "windfall".
As for letting others know that they are rich. so what? Does anyone dare to make his own idea? Don't forget, except for being the Duke of Power. Or a magician of continental civilization!
Sure enough, after a few days, the imperial capital went viral and spread a "news". It is said that the Duke of Tulip ’s Nanyang Maritime Trade Fleet had dug a huge gold mine on a small island in Nanyang. ...
Du Wei has no intention to care about such gossip. He has been very busy these days, very busy.
What surprised the personal guard next to him was that this duke, who had never paid any respect to the gods, ran to the temple of the emperor for three days!
On the first day, when Dewey went out and instructed his men to "drive the temple", the men almost thought they heard something wrong, right? Our adults are famously disrespectful to the gods, so they are going to the temple?
After arriving at the temple, Du Wei directly let people in to report: The Duke of Tulips asked to see the Pope!
Is the pope just wanting to see him? Not to mention that when the Duke of Tulips, who was famously not respectful to the temple, wanted to set up a religious institute in the Northwest Temple, those clergymen did not eat less of Dewey, so the temple was really not friendly to the Duke of Tulip Speak.
The next thing, these guys are completely scratched.
The Pope sent someone out immediately, and he was kind to ask the Duke of Tulips to enter. Dewey then stayed in the temple until dark.
After that, the Duke ran to the temple for three days, and he sought to see His Holiness the Pope every day, staying in the temple from morning to night, and did not know what to talk about inside.
Du Wei is very kind to his subordinates. He has a curious and courageous bodyguard and can't help asking his boss. Du Wei grinned: Your master, me, decided to convert to the glory of the gods. From then on, he served the gods with pious faith and became an honest believer.
As soon as this remark is made, everyone is absolutely unbelieving. From their point of view, upside down is possible. The Duke believes in God. It is absolutely impossible.
On the fourth day, Du Wei no longer went out. He locked himself in the study and then Hussein. Rodriguez, along with Queen Medusa, Miss Nicole, called into the study, and ordered no one to disturb. Several people stayed in the study for the whole day.
At the same time, something strange happened in the palace.
I never go out all the year round. The religious leaders, spiritual leaders, and Pope of Roland mainland came to the palace in person. Ask to meet and talk with the Regent!
Joke! A few days ago for the southern snow disaster relief, the temple deliberately fell into the face of the royal family, and the relationship between the two parties was already very tense. Now what does Pope His Majesty come to see the Regent? Could it be that the fight is not fun, do you want a live pk? ?
In less than half a day, the news spread to those in the core circles of the Imperial City, especially the dignitaries of several empires.
After all. The meeting between the actual master of the empire and the spiritual leader of the empire is bound to be something. Otherwise, they are both well-informed characters, wouldn't it be nice to meet each other?
At that time, according to some news from the palace. His Majesty the Pope and His Royal Highness had an intimate talk for an entire afternoon. After His Highness the Pope left the palace that evening, His Royal Highness was obviously exhausted and weird, and he did not know what had affected His Royal Highness's mood. That night, His Royal Highness slept in his study that night. Without a sleep, there was a Highness of His Highness, who thought he was very petted. Depending on his favor, he probably felt that he might be the future queen or the like. Role, so I can't help but be a bit arrogant. Originally, the Regent King promised to go to her where to stay the night, and the pigeons were released. The woman was probably a little unhappy, and she was so flattered and proud that she went to the Regent's study to be coquettish.
But the beauty never expected that Prince Chen, who was gentle and beloved by himself, thundered that night! In the fury, he ordered the court warrior to draw the woman's dozens of leather whip in front of the guard and the court attendant. Then ordered someone to throw her directly out of the palace!
This one. Everyone knows: Your Highness is in a bad mood! !!
The entire day after that, His Highness the Regent seemed extremely strange. He locked himself in the room and allowed no one to disturb him. Even his closest personal guard, who was the most trusted one, was frightened by the deep murderousness on the face of the Regent.
What the **** ... what happened?
After another day, the Regent seemed to be getting more and more manic, and his mood was extremely unstable. He even ran out of the room by himself in the middle of the night, barefoot, and drove away the waiters and guards who followed him. , A person ran to the "white tower" in the middle of the palace.
The lord of the empire, considered to be the wisest young monarch in the empire's generations, clasped his brows, bare feet, and wore light clothes, in this cold night , Sitting on the icy ground under the white pagoda, just sat alone all night!
All the guards are under his strict order and are not allowed to stand near him and stand in the distance.
While the Regent sat at dawn all night, when the sun rose in the morning, the tired Prince Chen finally calmed down. He stood up, walked under the white tower, and stretched out his hand. Touching the white marble on the white tower's wall, he whispered to himself suddenly, "His great Aragon, you have spent countless thousands of years building this white tower, leaving this powerful magic circle. Is it just to meet this situation today? "
Well, yes, it must be.
At that time, the mainland was unified. Under the leadership of the great Aragon, the army of the Roland Empire was invincible. Above the mainland, there was no threat to the existence of the empire, and there was no threat in the world. However, Aragon has left such a huge magic array that has consumed countless financial and human resources of the empire. What is the purpose of defending the enemy?
Is it the north ...
Remembering what the Pope was talking to himself, Prince Chen's brow frowned.
If it ’s just a mere pope ’s word, maybe Prince Chen may not believe it.
This is normal. How can you just believe in such a major matter? Just imagine that now the Pope of the Vatican suddenly ran to the President of the United States and said, "God entrusted me with a dream. I know that the aliens will invade the earth in a big way three years later. Now you quickly order a national war preparation." Someone may think that the Pope is crazy.
Similarly, Prince Chen will not just believe such things. After all, it is associated with the recent frozen forest suddenly bursting out a large number of Warcraft torrents, which has never happened in the Empire for thousands of years.
In addition to the Pope's words, in fact, there is an iron law inside the royal family of the Roland Empire, which has been passed down from generation to generation! It is "Unless under any circumstances, the magic circle of the Emperor must not be abandoned !!!"
Every generation of emperor even has to invest new financial resources to repair or even perfect this magical array. Even the most mediocre emperor adheres to this iron law.
More importantly, about the northern part of the mainland, beyond the extreme north of the frozen forest, there are also some exile races ... This legend says that on the land of Roland, ordinary people are completely unaware.
But Prince Chen knows! In the royal family, there are naturally the most secret and most precious documents handed down from ancient times. Although they are only vague records with only a few words, they can also make a vague guess.
The visit of the Pope of the Temple also brought some ancient documents that have been kept in the Temple for many years, all of which remind the young monarch: all this is true, it really happened !!
In the north of the mainland, there are a group of fierce enemies, much more powerful than the Caomen and the Northwest Army! And soon, they will go south and into the empire! !!
"At this moment, I hope to be the elder brother who succeeded in the coup." Prince Chen stood under the rising sun, stroking the white pagoda gently, and whispered, "A heavy burden ..." /
And also after this day dawn, in the morning, the military sent an emergency military report, written by the chief of the Rostock Army Corps of the Northern Storm Corps.
