The low voice filled the desolate valley.

100th Chapter 37 Energetic Vernell

Crete, the main fort of Gandia City.

Although the finances are quite scarce, the main fort is still well maintained. The city wall linking the fortresses is flat and smooth, without any depression or damage.

An old mage wearing a silver robe walked slowly on the city wall, and all the soldiers who saw him raised their weapons to pay tribute to him, and the officers in charge of every City Wall section were very nervous, for fear of being caught on the city wall. What problems have been discovered? Although today is the first day of the new year, if there is a problem, it will not be forgiven. After all, as Vernell said, the Ottomans and Burberry pirates will not be forgiven.

Fortunately at this time, the chief of the governing council of the Republic of Crete, His Excellency Silver Robe Vernell, the city defense officer, is very satisfied with all this. He picks a random morning every week and walks around the city wall. He walks slowly and costs In more than 2 hours, I carefully inspected the city wall that nearly 10000 residents in Gandia City rely on.

The silver robe Vernell on the city wall still frowned, which made the officers and soldiers very nervous, but in fact the first inspection in 1542 went smoothly. Vernell was worried about other things. He looked in a direction facing the sea. It was a beautiful view of the sea and the sky, so Vernell was not happy. He hoped that there was a dark and depressing tower with 3 dangerous and Bloodlust giant rotating crossbows. The rotating crossbow was in place. The Austrian Regent’s New Year in 1542 Finally, the military aid promised in 1539 was delivered to the Republic of Crete.

On the city wall, Vernell can also see the big ship of the Chamber of Commerce Ritt that entered the port yesterday. This ship brought ten 2 revolving crossbows, 6 giants, and 6 giants.

Although they were all Ottoman goods seized in Buda and Belgrade, after being refurbished by craftsmen in Milan and Venice, they are still very good killing weapons. Vernell still appreciates this.

Of course, the refurbished by the Graz State Arsenal is not acceptable. Although Vernell, as a recipient of military aid, cannot pick and choose, no matter where the goods come from, they have to express their gratitude and accept them, but who knows when the Graz goods will collapse? It will never be placed on the city wall.

With the Republic of Venice In name only, the city of Venice, one of the key nodes in the Mediterranean and even the world trade, has actually become the jewel of the Austrian Duchy, and the Austrian Duchy has also become an important business participant in the Mediterranean, many from Vienna Merchants from Milan, Milan, Prague and Buda have also returned to the long-lost Mediterranean market. Rit Chamber of Commerce is one of them. They pay very little tax on the berries they import, but they occasionally undertake such transportation tasks as compensation.

Of course, there are still the most merchants from the city of Venice. After all, they are familiar with shipping routes, and some even have a way to deal with Burberry pirates. After all, they have been dealing with them for 100 years.

Among them are many acquaintances of Vernell. Although they are a bit embarrassed about the status of Austria’s great duchy subjects, they basically have no major complaints. The taxation of Venice is lighter than that of the independent Republic in the past. The Austrian Supreme Court has the power of final adjudication, but the authority of the Venice Intermediate Court is still respected. The Supreme Court established in Vienna may not accept an appeal from the city of Venice in one year, so there is no judicial conflict.

After confirming that his compatriots received roughly fair treatment in the Austrian Duchy, Vernell tried to stop thinking of Ladislaus’s national enmity to destroy the Republic of Venice, not to forgive, but to forget as much as possible.

Not only for the military cooperation represented by these rotating crossbows, but also for commercial cooperation.

After receiving a large part of the Venetian Navy’s ships and sailors, the Austrian Navy has become a pivotal force in the Adriatic Sea. Although it still cooperates with the Spanish navy as a whole, it can also protect Austria’s commercial interests. .

So Austria began to invest a certain amount of resources on the island of Crete. On the contrary, Spain, which has always supported the Republic of Crete in the past few years, had a certain problem in the past year. The Austrians’ rotating crossbow has arrived. The Spanish lime did not arrive, so the tower was not built.

Of course, the Austrians have been procrastinating for several years, but Spain has basically not procrastinated in the past.

Had it not been for the frequency of the Spanish fleet’s activities around Crete in recent days, Vernell would have looked to Viscount Leida to protest.

Thinking of Viscount Leida, Vernell has an indescribable sense of weirdness. Compared with the Spanish referee who was expelled last time, this viscount is easier to deal with. Although there is also the arrogance of the Spanish Lao Tzu World’s First, the counting of money has always been confused. Yes, it is easy to get his wool, so Vernell is not really dissatisfied with him.

For example, in the recent incident of the mage association, the director of Bazin wanted to promote his family’s mage to the upper ranks, while Viscount Leida wanted to support Bentus. Although Bentus has many problems that Vernell hates, and the other party always thinks of Crete Greece. People do not agree with Vernell, the Venetian immigrant, but he is a Cretan, so after Viscount Leida proposed, Vernell did not hesitate to support him.

I originally thought that there were Bishops Viscount Leida and Busk, plus myself, Xiao Mabao could only give in, didn’t expect In the end this Tusi himself ran away for a higher salary and a safer working environment, which made everyone All (very tǐng) embarrassed.

Because of the high frequency of the Spanish fleet recently, the merchant ship and fishing boats of Gandia City have a very good environment, and Vernell is even a bit sorry, because the Spanish fleet is capable of offensive cruises on the Eastern Mediterranean during Christmas and New Year’s Day except the emperor, who is Bazin. Commander.

This laid a good foundation for Wood and Morty to meet him.

Knowing that Morty and Wood had asked for a meeting, Vernell sent away a merchant from Venice and met them immediately.

After entering the room, they greeted first, then Vernell glanced at Wood, and then asked, “Are you core now?”

“Yes.” Wood glanced at each other.

“You are improving very quickly.” Vernell looked at Wood, “I remember just a few months ago, you were a Level 1 fighter.”

“I have experienced a lot this time.” Wood picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip of tea.

“Well, well, the future of Crete belongs to you.” Vernell really hopes so.

Wood nodded, poured himself another glass of water.

Vernell said politely to Morty: “President Morty, congratulations. In fact, I always think it is better for the president of the mage association to let you be a powerful mage. Youngster is indeed unreliable, hahaha.”

“Oh, it is my honor to serve the emperor Your Majesty and the Republic of Crete.” Morty shook his head, “youngster, it’s just that there is no reassurance, but it is still very good for Your Excellency Vernell to support the youngster, in my heart I understand.”

Morty’s words would not have caused any fluctuations in Vernell, but as he spoke, he handed a small wooden jar wrapped in silk.

“A little tea is no respect.” Morty feels distressed. This is the best part of the tea. There is no way, who can make people a member of the ruling committee.

Wood got up and emptied the teapot in the reception room. Although it seemed strange, it was better than losing control.

“It’s really too polite.” Holding a small pot of tea, Vernell felt a master hand-made beauty. Although the wooden pot is a bit rough, the strong tea fragrance inside will not deceive people, so the rough description is a work of art Naturally, “For our mage, this is really priceless.”

“It’s really a good thing, but it’s not priceless.” Morty said, “In fact, the reason why I want to be the president of the mage association is mainly to build a tea processing base here.”

“The base for processing tea?” Vernell’s eyes seemed to shoot rays of light the same color as his robe. This is not a small pot of tea. This is Yinshan. “Where does the tea come from?”

“Yeah” Morty and Wood looked at each other, then smiled without saying a word.
