The mage arrives

This time, the sudden tide of origin energy was not too wide, nor too strong.However, in the city of Freiris, it is still unknown how many spellcasters will suffer from this.And the small tsunami caused by the source energy tide not only caused damage to the buildings and facilities along the coast, but some ships that were sailing or moored in the port also collided with each other because they were too close to each other, causing accidents .

Gordon's cruise ship, the Virgin Marisa, was also a victim.

Generally speaking, when the source energy tide occurs, it will not cause secondary natural disasters.The reason why there are such small waves on the sea this time is probably because the starting point of the source energy tide is at the bottom of the sea.

Gordon supported the side of the boat, looked at the blue and clear water below, and frowned slightly.

During the days with that elemental emperor Asa Augustus, the other party said more than once that the world is about to usher in a big turmoil.Gordon speculated that the recent successive occurrences of energy tides might have something to do with it.If this is the case, then the coastal areas south of Freyton - and of course the Haven peninsula - will bear the brunt of the impact. ???&nbs≡Wan≠Book≡Bar≠Small≠Speak.nsb.mp; Originally, I thought that such a thing as "destroying the world and saving all living beings" was too far away from a little mage like myself, but now it seems that Gordon I feel that I have to seriously consider this issue.

But for now, let's give priority to dealing with various problems caused by the collision.

"Captain, what about the damage?" Gordon asked the gray-bearded man.A weather-beaten old captain.

"Dear Lord Earl, our Marisa is a strong and good girl who wears thick armor. She didn't suffer any loss when she collided with that kind of guy who looks big but is strong on the outside. After the second round of careful inspection , at most 10 minutes, you can set sail again.”

The experienced old captain had a deep affection for the Virgin Marisa, so much so that he always called it in an anthropomorphic tone, and Gordon was no stranger to it.

As a military cruiser captured from pirates, the Virgin Marisa has a fairly solid hull structure and sailing performance.And after the transformation, an outer layer of steel armor was added.And the ship that collided just now was a merchant ship that focused on volume and range.It must have suffered from a collision with the Virgin Marisa.Amidst the din of the sailors, the two ships that were close together finally separated gradually.The Virgin Marisa suffered minimal damage, save for a few protruding oars.

But the merchant ship on the opposite side was transporting goods for the Temple of Dawn.Not so lucky.The hump of its lower deck hull.Like an egg shell hitting a rock, it shattered a huge hole.The inside was in a mess, and the workers and sailors were rushing out to expel the seawater that had just poured in. The nearby sea surface was full of debris and various floating objects, just like the blood that flowed out from a giant sea beast after being injured.

"Duro!" Gordon waved his hand and called his business manager, "Go and negotiate with the people on the opposite ship to see how much the other party has lost. We can make appropriate compensation."

There is neither insurance company nor maritime department in this world, and such a collision accident can only be dealt with through negotiation between the two parties.The accident was caused by the sudden source energy tide.Gordon certainly did not consider himself responsible.But since the other party seems to have suffered heavy losses, out of humanitarian considerations, it doesn't matter to pay a sum of money to compensate the other party's losses.

After all, Gordon had a good impression of the Temple of Dawn.When they were in Beidi, the two sides had cooperated many times.And he also has a "lover" who serves as a paladin in the Church of Dawn.

After the accident, Gordon thought he had done a good job by voluntarily offering compensation when there was no mistake on his own side. Even if he could not win a good reputation for being "generous" and "humility", he could at least eliminate potential conflicts. invisible.He wasn't keen on stepping on people and slapping people in the face, and spending a few gold coins could save a lot of trouble, which was simply a bargain.

However, the people on the opposite ship did not seem to appreciate his kindness.

After Du Luo boarded the merchant ship on the opposite side on the temporary springboard, it didn't take long before he came back in despair.The clothes were not only stained and wrinkled, but there was also a large bruise on the frame of the right eye.

Seeing Du Luo's appearance, Gordon knew that things might not go well.He patted his partner on the shoulder and said, "I have wronged you. What did the other party say?"

As a former adventurer, despite Douluo's short and fat body, his combat effectiveness is still quite good.In the case of being beaten by the opponent, he did not fight back without authorization, but came back to report to Gordon first, which was considered quite restrained.

Du Luo let out a mouthful of thick blood, and said in a low voice, "The nobleman on the opposite side didn't understand your kindness. He rejected our compensation request because he thought it was sending a beggar. After a while, that guy might They will bring a large group of people to settle accounts with you."

"My lord?"

"Yes. The owner of the ship claims to be Viscount Otto von Sulzbach."

In the aristocratic pedigree of the entire Northern Continent, the three middle names of Feng, Fan, and De are very famous.They all originate from the dragonborn empire of Arkhothia during the Second Age.The aristocratic families holding these three middle names can all trace back thousands or even tens of thousands of years of history.

Although the three middle names of Feng, Fan, and De have different pronunciations, this is only because they are derived from different dialects of the dragon tribe. In fact, they all have the same meaning, which means "from".

For example, the von Eisenstein family, which once had a huge conflict with Gordon, translates into dragon language, which means that this family comes from the Eisenstein region.

After nearly ten thousand years of migration and reproduction, the nobles with the middle name "Fan" basically live in the Wilfast area. The "Feng" family exists in both the Platinum Empire Freyton and the Black Dragon Empire Northengard, and Northengard occupies the vast majority.The "German" family mainly exists in the Freyton and Antoria regions.

Although Freyton and the "Fon" family of Northengard are in an irreconcilable state of hostility because of their beliefs and interests.However, if it is in a country, because of the similar culture and history brought by the same middle name, the "Feng" family will always get closer, and even form a natural loose alliance.

It is also an important reason why the Eisenstein family is expected to replace the Antaello family as one of the new three poles of the empire. Behind it is a large group of "Feng" families with the same origin.

After Gordon heard the other party's name, he even immediately wondered whether the other party deliberately made things difficult for the Eisenstein family after knowing his identity.

But this time, Gordon thought too much.

The Viscount Otto von Sulzbach, who led ten fully armed bodyguards, had already boarded the Virgin Marisa, and came to question him, did not know Gordon's identity.

Viscount Otto was in such a bad mood at this time that he didn't take care of his beautiful mustache that was soaked by the oncoming sea water in the collision accident just now, so he took a group of subordinates with him. Come down and ask for guilt.It is impossible for him to let the sea bow to him and apologize, nor can he squeeze out a penny of compensation from the blue water under his feet, so of course, the other party involved in this accident should bear the full responsibility for compensation , and honestly bear his anger.

Of course, Viscount Otto is not an idiot either. Before he decides to teach the other party a lesson and extort a large sum of money, he must first weigh the strength and status of the other party and himself.

And how can a nobleman judge the strength and status of another nobleman who has never been masked?

It's very simple, just look at the other party's family crest.

Today, the Freyton Empire, which has been established for nearly a thousand years, has a mature and stable enfeoffment system, and the heraldry that was born because of the enfeoffment system has long been self-contained.Nowadays, among those families with a little bit of status, which one doesn't hire a few heraldists as consultants?Heraldry itself was also an important part of noble education.

Of course, new aristocrats like the Freeman family who have risen for only three generations are an exception.

The reason why Viscount Otto dared to make up his mind to trouble Gordon, and gave Douro a warning when he met just now, was because this viscount, who was familiar with heraldry, saw flying in the air of the Virgin Mary. On the Shah, the flag with the coat of arms of the Freeman family printed on it.

The aristocratic family crests in the Freyton Empire were not randomly designed, just for good looks.Whether it is color, shading, or pattern, each has its own meaning.If there is a pattern of unicorns or oak trees, then the family is likely to have elven blood.If there is a dragon pattern, it means that this family must have a long history with dragons.Of course, if there is a blood-dripping dragon head painted on the family crest, it is another matter, which means that there must have been dragon slaying warriors in this noble family.

The crown symbolizing power and prestige can only be used by the nobles of the duke level.The background color of the family crest is very green, indicating that this family probably came from the densely forested Luxia Province.If the family pattern is blue, and there are patterns such as sailboats, anchors, and rudders, it means that the family comes from the sea and started by shipping.The golden color, which symbolizes nobility, can only be used by the royal family or families with a direct relationship with the royal family.

The family crest of the Freeman family has a blue and green background, which symbolizes the ice and snow and the vast grasslands of the Northland.On such a background color, a simple Anduin Great Wall and two crossed long swords are drawn.This shows that the Freeman family obtained the title by virtue of military exploits, and the fiefdom is under the Great Wall.

In fact, including Gordon's father, the group of nobles who opened up new lands outside the Great Wall all painted the Anduin Great Wall on their family crests.The Great Wall is a marvel of engineering, the pride of empire.And those emerging nobles also hope that they can guard the frontiers of the empire just like the Great Wall.

Of course, although the vision is good, the result is not so good.
