Great Nobleman.

Chapter 1774 It seems that I need to have someone make a set of Duke's formal dress as soon as possible!

Because the current situation is not yet clear.

So after hearing Madeline's question, Brand rejected it without a second thought:

"How is that possible!

There are indeed some mineral resources over there, but how could it be possible that the ground is full of magic gems?"

After saying this, he turned around and took a look at the situation of the masters and Yersin and others.

Brand was a little curious and said:

"Who spread this rumor?"

Hearing this, Louise asked with some doubt:
“Is it really a rumor?
This morning, the Black Knight brought back a whole shipload of magic gems.

The news has spread!"

As she spoke, Louise displayed a magical image:
On the deep blue sea of ​​Flower Bay and on the deck of the slowly moving Black Knight.

The two piles of 'gem mountains' emit brilliant and charming brilliance under the sun!

Meanwhile, Sharan explained:

“After arriving at Fanhua Bay, perhaps it was because there were so many people watching.

Yersin and his men drove the Black Knight directly to the military port in the west.

Although no one saw the process of them unloading the cargo from the cabin.

However, when asked by everyone, several earls and Yersin did not deny the fact that the Black Knight brought back a whole ship of magic gems. "

After hearing this, Brand began to understand the current situation.

Probably because the news leaked.

The imperial nobles who smelled the fragrance of profit gathered towards them frantically like sharks smelling blood!
Without waiting for Brand to think about how to respond.

Soon, an imperial noble who noticed his arrival came over with a smile on his face and complimented him:

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Marquis Brand is still as charming as ever!
You also have the Library Mage Corps, whose presence on the battlefield is truly breathtaking!"

After hearing this, Brand responded politely.

The noble quickly changed the subject and asked curiously:
“Marquis Brand, this is it.

Next I plan to try my luck in the Northern Islands.

I heard that Marquis Brand had been there before.

I wonder if Marquis Brand could tell me about the specific situation there?"

After hearing this question, he glanced at the nobles who were coming towards him one after another.

Brand changed his mind and said seriously:

“I have indeed been to the Northern Islands, but that was a long time ago.

And at that time we were busy fighting the enemy.

If you want to try your luck, you might want to ask Yersin and Master Holland.

The [Black Knight] just came back from there, didn’t it?

I heard that it seems to be a fruitful harvest? "

As soon as the voice fell, someone sighed:

“That’s not a great harvest, that’s an amazing harvest!
I'm already trying to find out the situation through the Elf Forest channel, and I think there will be news coming back soon!"

Someone responded:
“I have learned some news from the elves who stayed in the Northern Islands.

There are indeed many mines of magic gems in the Northern Islands. The elves who stayed there just searched for them in their spare time and reaped a lot of rewards.

In addition, it seems that many forces in the Elf Forest are organizing fleets to go there to make money.

So we'd better come up with a way to cooperate as soon as possible, and we can't let them get there first!"

Seeing that these people have already started discussing cooperation, Brand couldn't help but hesitate and said:
“Isn’t this a bit hasty?
From what I've heard, the Northern Islands should still be quite dangerous.

I heard that there have always been undead, sea creatures, and powerful monsters appearing. "As soon as the voice fell, someone quickly shook his head and said:

“That’s why we need to cooperate!
Lord Brand, hasn't your [Blood Amber] fleet been replaced with the [Amber Type III] with better performance?

Those previous [Amber Type II] should be idle now?
Do you have any intention to sell or rent it out in the near future? "

Hearing this, and looking at the sincere looks of the people who had gathered around him, Brand felt a little helpless for a moment.

——Why were Yersin and the others so high-profile when they came back?
……

After a not very pleasant dinner.

To avoid further harassment from the imperial nobles.

Brand refused to allow any visitors the next day, citing research as an excuse.

Several big masters and Yersin and the other two also began to hide their tracks and stayed at home rarely.

However, related matters did not stop. The news that the Black Knight returned from the Northern Islands with a full load spread quickly throughout the aristocracy of the Kaya Empire.

The numerous nobles in the empire were suddenly excited!

Soon after, the nobles of the empire quickly learned the detailed situation of the Northern Islands through various channels.

It was only the third day since Yersin and others returned.

The long-awaited ship-buying boom swept through the Kaya Empire's ship market.

Many of the empire's high-end shipyards have received a large number of orders from the imperial nobles.

Experienced businessmen with a keen sense of smell immediately realized that something they didn't know had happened.

They quickly began to mobilize their connections to see if they could get some of the windfall that slipped through the fingers of the nobles!

And a week later, the Black Knight returned to the Empire.

Although the relevant matters became more and more serious, Brand left Morning Blossom Castle and continued to deal with important matters.

That morning, he and Sonia came to the Imperial Palace.

Not surprisingly:
They had just entered the palace a short while ago.

The Grand Prince of the Empire, Patrick, ran over with a smile on his face.

Then, like many others, he asked about the Northern Islands:
"My dearest Brand and Sonia, can you tell me about the Northern Islands?

I plan to go shopping in a few days to replenish my private treasury!"

As soon as the voice fell, Sonia said with disgust:

"Padraic, we are very busy.

Please don't delay Brand and I's trip."

Hearing this, Padrick said with a sad face:

"Sonia! I am your biological brother, please give me some face in front of my dear brother-in-law!"

Hearing this, Brand scratched his cheek and said helplessly:
"To be honest, I'm not very clear about the situation in the Northern Islands right now. Why don't you go ask Yersin and the others?"

Padrick spread his hands and said:
"Yersin, Andy, Finn, and Earl Holland have completely cut off their channels of communication with the outside world these days. I can't find them at all!"

——They are on vacation in Chenhua Territory now, but they always disguise themselves when going out on weekdays!

Although Brand knew the whereabouts of Yersin and Master Holland very well, he certainly would not reveal it.

After some thought, Brand responded:
"Then I'll go back and sort out some information for you, but there may not be much useful content."

"I've been waiting for you to say that! The old man is in the Government Affairs Hall, I'll take you there!"

After getting Brand's promise, Padraic immediately took Brand and Sonia to the Government Hall with enthusiasm and found Bernhard who was working.

Seeing Brand and Sonia coming, Bernhard quickly smiled and joked:
"Hey! My dear Marquis of Morning Flower finally came to me to share his military exploits?
It seems I need to have someone make a suit for the Duke as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, Brand straightened his collar with a smile, then said seriously:

"Just take your time. I'm not in a hurry."
