Chapter 954 55. The Lords of the Vaski Plane

Ying Li and I took the sailboat 'Slave Trader' and took the badge of Noah's family and rushed to Dunai Island night and day.

Along the way, in order to be able to contact more allied forces against Marquis Boris, we tried to visit some lords on the islands along the way.

It is actually very simple to become the lord of these islands in the Vashj plane. The nobles who brought their followers to open up territories on the Vashj plane with their own hands only need to hand over one-third of the developed territory to the Mensa family. Then turn over one-third to His Majesty Charles, the Emperor of the Green Empire, and the remaining part of the land can be registered with the Mensa family as their own private territory.

Nobles who own territory can be called lords.

Many nobles who developed the Vashj plane with the Duke of Mensa all owned private islands in the Vashj plane, but these islands have been gradually regionalized after several generations of painstaking efforts. There may still be a portrait of the original Duke Mensa on the wall, but this does not mean that they will have much admiration for the current Duke Mensa.

There are also some lords who are branches of the Mensa family. The Vashj plane, known as the sea of ​​abundance, was once a place where countless distant relatives of the Mensa family competed for gold. To obtain an island, many people have exhausted their last connections.It's just that the plane war broke out recently, which made the territories of these rich planes become uninterested.

After five generations, the blood relationship has faded to the point of being a stranger.

What's more, these distant relatives of the Mansa family on the Vashj plane have passed through countless generations. The only thing they have in common with Noah is that they can write "Mensa" at the end of their surname two words.

There are also some adventurers who have made meritorious service on the battlefield, have noble status, and brought their followers to the Vashj plane to explore. They need to be recommended by the lord in the Vashj plane, or Make outstanding contributions to the Vashj plane, so that you can apply for a qualification certificate to open up territories in the Mensa family's administrative office. Only after you have the qualification certificate can you buy sailing ships, recruit soldiers and sailors, and drive ships to blank spaces on the sea chart regions, to carve out territory in those unknown regions.

Sometimes, it is difficult for our ships to approach some heavily fortified island cities. There are some catapults and bed crossbows on the high walls of many castles. Before our sailboats approached, they were forced to land by falling rocks from the sky. Sail the ship or turn around and leave. Those catapults are often erected on the top of high cliffs or towers. The range of boulders thrown by the catapults is much longer than that of the crossbows on sea ships.

Many lords on the island, as long as they saw the black charred hull of the 'Slave Trader', they would blow the trombone to meet the enemy from a distance. They were full of hostility towards our ship and would not allow us to sail into the island pier.

Although our sailors will stand on the watchtower of the mainmast and use simple semaphore to talk to the people on the island, it is usually difficult to convince the people on the island.

Unless I rode a magic scorpion handle, flew over against the rain of arrows, landed on the city wall, and directly showed my identity to the guards on the island-a magic student of the Royal Academy of Magic.The guards watched me cautiously and ordered the catapults to stop attacking.

Of course, sometimes, the identity of the magician of the Royal Academy of Magic will also be invalid. Often at this time, magic skills are more convincing than any language. At least the lords of these islands can still clearly realize that killing a magician noble, What a hassle.

So during my visits along the way, although I had a lot of closed doors, in general, none of the island lords had the idea of ​​detaining me. Looking at the deep vigilance hidden in the eyes of those lords, I know They didn't believe what I said at all.

Whether it is Marquis Boris or Noah Mensa, they are members of the Mensa family after all. Speaking of which, the dispute on the Vashki plane is just an internal struggle in the Mensa family. Maybe this time Marquis Boris is the Vashj’s Plane Consul announced that the timing of the plan’s separation from the Mensa family’s control was a little unwise, but after all, these can still be regarded as internal affairs of the Mensa family. At this time, as a lobbyist, my identity It seemed a little embarrassing, and it was only natural for the lords on the islands to distrust me.

After all, although many lords have been out of the inner circle of the Mensa family for a long time, they still regard themselves as supporters of the Mensa family. Of course, they will not easily believe the words of an "outsider", even if I hold the badge, with a letter from Earl Evan, but these still can't make people believe me and those words.

Of course, there are also well-informed lords who have already learned about what happened on the Vashj plane. They have maintained an extremely cautious attitude towards my visit. They are worried that my identity is false, and they are also worried that Marquis Boris will know about them. If you secretly contact me, you will anger the entire island.

In short, along the way, when our sailboats visited those islands, it was commonplace for them to be turned away. Usually, our ships could not berth at the docks on the islands, nor could they resupply on those islands. Fortunately, the "Slave Trader" 'There's no need for that.

……

Yam Island is the largest island in the western sea area of ​​the Great Abyss. The island has the largest deep-water port in this sea area. It is the largest trading market in the sea area on the western edge of the Great Abyss. The port here is moored all year round. Ships from various places, Yamu Island has a very large-scale island with a permanent population of [-].

Our boat sailed outside Yam Island, and found that there was no trace of war in the harbor here. Seeing the boats coming in and out on the harbor pier, I felt the prosperity of Yam Island.

There were ships passing by the 'Slave Trader' constantly, and many sailors on the ship would stare at the 'Slave Trader' with a surprised look, and many people pointed at the 'Slave Trader'.

I guess maybe before this, they had seen the 'Slave Trader' in a certain sea area.

The 'Slave Trader' did not sail into the pier of Yam Island at the first time. The island did not throw huge stones at us, but sent two inspection sailboats to approach our sailboat. Yingli and I took out The token of Noah's family and Earl Evan's personal letter, one of the ships quickly returned to Yam Island to report to their consul, and the other inspection ship followed closely on the 'Slave Trader' later.

There is a large-scale fleet on Yam Island, and the consul on Yam Island did not refuse our visit. When the "Slave Trader" slowly sailed into the port, many people on the dock stopped their hands. The work in the house came to this side one after another, and those people looked at us in surprise.

The sailors on the ship had never been so surrounded by people. These sailors, who were always hiding in dark corners, seemed a little evasive under the eyes of those onlookers, and some movements of manipulating the sailboat became very stiff.

At this time, the "Slave Trader" was about to dock, and we could only bite the bullet and watch the changes in the world.

"Jijia, do you think our visit was ill-considered?" Senior Dylan chased me from behind when I got off the boat, pulled my skirt, and whispered to me.

I nodded calmly.

Senior Dylan pondered for a while, and immediately told me: "Remember to bring everyone with you when you go ashore. If the situation is wrong, we will run away immediately! I have a random teleportation scroll here, which allows us to leave here at any time. Of course, I Can't take your 'Slave Trader' with you."

I continued to nod and winked at Kalancuo on the deck of the ship. Kalancuo immediately understood, turned around and went to the cabin on the deck to look for Luka.

I whispered to Senior Dylan: "It seems that you have made some progress in your space magic research recently."

Senior Dylan stepped on the springboard carefully and walked down, shrugged his shoulders, and said helplessly: "Actually, these random teleportation scrolls are all failures. I have the coordinates of the teleportation magic circle in Illinas City in my hand." , so I have been trying to draw a teleportation magic gate that can be teleported back to Illinas City anytime and anywhere, but unfortunately I have failed more than [-] times..."

I realized right away that this was probably bad news.

I tentatively asked Senior Dylan: "Could it be that you are wasting all the magic crystals we obtained from hunting monsters at sea on this?"

Senior Dylan took it for granted and said to me: "Otherwise, what do you think? This kind of academic research is of course expensive!"

I resisted the urge to go crazy in my heart, lowered my voice, and spit out one word after another: "Is it justified by just saying 'burning money'? You almost took away me and All of Noah's savings."

Senior Dylan curled his lips, put his arms around my shoulders, and said affectionately: "Forget it, your treasury is the sea of ​​Vashj plane, and I have never seen anyone who makes money faster than your brothers." Magician, all I can see is that the sea beasts in the sea are scrambling to send magic crystals and magic materials to your brothers. If all the demon hunters on the Vashj plane hunt like your brothers , then the sea beasts in the Vashj plane should have been completely extinct a hundred years ago."

"I found myself caught in a misunderstanding of space magic recently, trapped in my own fixed thinking, I need you to help me think about it from the perspective of a bystander, maybe you will have other different opinions..." Senior Dylan whispered to me.

"Don't try to lure me into learning space magic in this way. I heard from Scholar Xiaon that before changing jobs for the second time, a magician should focus on learning a certain department of magic as much as possible. This is the correct growth path for a magician!" Senior Dylan and I were whispering softly as we got off the boat.

Yingli, Helena and Becky followed us quietly. Under the eyes of everyone, they were wearing exquisite court gowns. Those gorgeous long skirts embroidered with exquisite patterns made them extremely beautiful, and they were completely aristocratic ladies. He raised his white chin proudly, and lifted his skirt while walking, like a beautiful white swan.

Kalantso and Luka quickly followed us before we disembarked.

……

We have never understood why, whether it is the eyes of the sailors on the ships off Yam Island, or the eyes of the people gathered around the sailboat 'Slave Trader' on the pier, why are they all surprised and strange, Why are you all whispering?
It wasn't until Ying Li and I arrived at the Santo's Mansion on Yam Island that the mystery in our hearts was solved.

Because on the notice board outside the city lord's mansion, there is a huge notice, which is a newly issued arrest warrant, with several sea ships drawn on it, and each sea ship is drawn with a magical pattern, making these sea ships Come alive on the wanted warrant, every ship keeps moving forward in the wind and waves.

The third picture of the ship on the wanted notice is the 'Slave Trader', and it is clearly marked at the end of the wanted notice that if the ship can be hunted down, Marquis Boris will pay the amount of reward and The rewards that some informants will receive, Yingli and I stood outside the city lord's mansion, looking at each other, for a while, I didn't understand what kind of attitude the consul on Yam Island had.

It seems that I already know that Ying Li and I are standing on the opposite side of Marquis Boris, but we haven't sent ships to hunt us down, and we don't even have any conspiracy. in front of Li.

I can't guess what the consul is really thinking, and now I can only wait and see what happens.

The layout of Yam Island is like that of Connerson City. The island has a radius of several square kilometers and cannot be built into an island city.However, the city on Yam Island is many times larger than the city on Connerson Island. All the buildings seem to be made of coral reefs, and the surface looks rough.

Following the captain of a patrol boat, we walked into the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

In the council hall of the city lord's mansion, we met the consul of Yam Island - Christopher Mensah.

He is a fat man, sitting on the cast iron chair that symbolizes power in the center of the political hall, he looks like a pile of fat wrapped in leather, he is so fat that it is difficult to breathe, and he is so fat that he can hardly be seen neck, eyes narrowed into a thin slit, and when he saw us, he was wiping his mouth with a white silk handkerchief.

"What a group of daring young men, don't you know that Boris is looking for you all over the world?" The first sentence he said to me was straight to the point and explained our situation.

But he knew right away from my attire and the badge on my chest that I wasn't Noah.

"Huh... Where's Noah?" He opened his eyes, which were so bright.

I first introduced myself to Christopher, and then explained why I was not with Noah, and then he slowly calmed down, closed those bright eyes, and turned into a harmless appearance.
