Chapter 126 Chapter 114 Road to the Imperial Capital

At the end, Sparrow sighed: "Miss Ruolin is in charge of the overall situation in Port Walker now, and she only has less than a thousand gold coins in her hand. According to the fleet size and consumption of thirty-two ships, the food and drink of the personnel , The maintenance and maintenance of ships and weapons costs nearly a thousand gold coins per month. This is already compressed to a minimum. Moreover, the fleet is moored in the port, and once the ship sails to sea, the cost will be even greater... ..." Du Wei took a deep breath: "That is to say, instead of bringing me back a copper coin, you now want me to post money in?"

"Yes." Sparrow also had a bitter face. Originally, he surrendered to Du Wei and wanted to be the captain of the fleet, but now it seems that he really knows about Chai Migui. All going bankrupt. "If there is no new funds within a month, then my fleet will go bankrupt?" Du Wei asked again. "Actually, a lot of people are complaining now. When they were pirates, they could eat meat and drink. But now they can only eat cereal and the cheapest ale. Now everyone is so poor that they can't even find the cheapest whores in the port. The money is gone. If Miss Ruolin and Miss Joanna hadn’t suppressed it violently, I’m afraid there would have been riots many times already.” Sparrow said embarrassingly.

Du Wei rubbed his brows, and he admitted that what he had thought at the beginning was a bit whimsical.Although Joanna, a great master, was in charge, and Sparrow, a former pirate, was leading the way, the hunt for pirates went smoothly.I also succeeded in getting a good fleet without spending a penny, but to operate a huge fleet, the consumption is very considerable!If Du Wei hadn't made a small fortune recently, I'm afraid he really couldn't afford to support such a fleet! "Okay." Du Wei waved his hand: "Fleet, although it costs more money, the current problem is that it is not in operation. Now we can only go out but not in. Of course, we can't afford it. We must find a way to make our fleet It can be turned into a money-making machine.”

Then Du Wei asked Captain Sparrow to find Made, and he told Made to withdraw 10,000 gold coins from the account and bring them back to Sparrow as funds, and then thought for a long time alone. In general, I actually still make money.Although this fleet consumes a lot, it was snatched without spending a penny.It's just that since there are so many ships, it is naturally impossible to go out to be a pirate.We can only find a way to do ocean trade. Du Wei immediately thought of the snow wolf mercenary group he met in the frozen forest in the north.Beinrich has complained many times that their mercenaries are desperately carrying their heads into the frozen forest to hunt monsters, but the price is lowered by those black-hearted businessmen.Du Wei also knew that a magic core of a low-level monster can be sold for one or two gold coins at most in a small town on the edge of the frozen forest in the north, but in the south, the price will increase by ten times or even dozens of times!Because although the imperial decree cannot prohibit people from entering the frozen forest to hunt, it is very stuck in trade.Those mercenary regiments that have worked so hard to hunt monsters are often unable to sell them publicly, and can only reluctantly sell their goods at low prices to some businessmen with backgrounds and connections.

Those merchants often have some rich and noble families in the north as their backgrounds. After buying those magical beasts at a low price, they then managed to obtain legal procedures, and they could be sold at a high price when they were transported to the south.Once in and out, it is ten times or even a hundred times the profit. If others can do it, you can do it yourself! And now I have a fleet, south of the Frozen Forest, the eastern sea area of ​​the empire, and several ports in the north, as long as I send the fleet to the northern port to buy, and then transport it to the south for sale, I will naturally make a lot of money.

The problem is, although I have the halo of Luo Lin's family, I am not yet an adult after all, and I don't have my own title. My reputation is not right. If I rashly step into those businesses in the north, I'm afraid it will arouse the resentment of the dignitaries in the north.Moreover, to turn a large number of smuggled monster prey into legal things, the official relationship, I am afraid that it is not enough to come forward.After all, I am still a child, and I can make small and big troubles on weekdays, but if I really want to do such a big business, I still can't do it without the presence of formal and important members of the family.

After much deliberation, Du Wei suddenly had a strange thought in his mind: If... if I'm really the heir to the family, that's fine. When this idea came out, Du Wei was startled. How did I come here?Wasn't it because I hated that kind of responsible life, kept silent on purpose, and didn't explain when I was misunderstood, so I was sent back to the Luolin Plain as I wished, and lived a free life?If he really became the heir of the family, I'm afraid there will be more troublesome things. Assuming the honor and responsibility of a family, can he still live as he pleases?

After much deliberation, Du Wei sighed in his heart, but no matter so much, let's solve the problem in front of him first. Then Du Wei hesitated for a moment, and finally put the candidate on the newly accepted President of the United States.Because there is really no capable confidant at hand. Du Wei called George Bush over, confessed a few words, and asked him to bring his own letter to the north to find Beinrich, the head of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group.After all, George Bush is from the north, and he has also heard the name of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group. No matter what, Du Wei first wanted to hold back the Snow Wolf mercenary group. The size of this mercenary group is not small. They usually go in and out of the frozen forest, and there are also a lot of goods in and out. First, hold them back and eat all their goods in one bite. First, start your own maritime trade in a small way. Although it may not make a lot of money, it is better than leaving a fleet of ships in the port to rust.

In this way, Captain Jack Sparrow and Mr. George Bush became close comrades-in-arms. After preparing, they went north to find the mercenary group. Three days later, Du Wei finally received news from the imperial capital. Earl Raymond wrote a letter in his own hand, and sent someone to deliver it quickly.The letter didn't say much, it just said that it was almost summer and asked Du Wei to rush to the imperial capital to participate in the annual summer festival. It was only a few words, but after all, he still summoned Du Wei to return to the imperial capital.Ma De was naturally very happy for his master.Du Wei was indifferent and calm, as if he could not see any joy or anger.

Go to the imperial capital? Hmph, the water in the imperial capital is very deep!Now that I am hiding in the Luolin Plain, I am naturally at ease.But the emperor has a lot of dignitaries, wealthy nobles, the guys from the temple, and the magic union... Hussein is great, right?The number one holy knight in the mainland!But the one who was hunted down by the temple was like a bereaved dog. I have too many secrets in my body now, and they are all a catastrophe of ransacking my house and destroying my family. If the temple finds out, I am afraid that I will be gnawed until there is no scum left!

The night before departure, Du Wei quietly talked with Hussein in his small manor outside the castle, and then decided that he would never go with Hussein when he went to the imperial capital this time.There are too many people in the imperial capital who know Hussein. As for Nicole (Medusa), Du Wei hesitated again and again, but still did not take her with her. Although Medusa is very powerful, she would be considered a powerful bodyguard.However, Du Wei has not figured out the temper of Her Majesty the Queen until now. Maybe there will be troubles at any time. If she stays at home, there will be at least one Hussein who can hold her down. Can't control this Her Majesty the Queen. For the rest, Du Wei took Gargamel with him. After all, even if a mouse is a pet, as long as he doesn't speak in public, it's not a big problem. And QQ... Du Wei really has a headache for this beast.Because since I got this guy, it is useless except for talking and talking about "elegant" topics all day long. It is a pure waste of food.But Du Wei thought about it for a long time, and by accident, he still took it with him. In this way, Du Wei packed his luggage, took a mouse and a penguin with him, ordered fifty cavalry guards, and brought some messy things he made. Slack, set off for the imperial capital. Originally, it was naturally fast to take a hot air balloon...but there were too many goods, and Du Wei didn't have so many hot air balloons to follow.And Du Wei also wanted to take a leisurely walk all the way. I just walked all the way without talking, but when I came to the Luolin River in the north of the Luolin Plain, I crossed the river and left the territory of the Luolin family, but I saw a horse standing on the Luolin River from a long distance away. On the stone bridge. Du Wei was riding on the horse, and when he took a closer look, there was only one person on the horse, wearing a gray mage robe, gray hair, gray eyes, a bitter face, and a pair of upside-down eyebrows, but it was the Clark magician. Clark saw Du Wei's convoy approaching from afar, and immediately galloped up to greet him, staring at Du Wei who was guarded by Luo Lin's cavalry, and laughed loudly: "Master Du Wei, the Magic Union has received the news that you are going to the imperial capital, the chairman of the union, Mr. Mr Godogan specially ordered me to wait for you here!" After a few thoughts in Du Wei's mind, he jumped off his horse, walked up and said with a smile, "Master Clark, do you know if Mr. Chairman of the union wants me to do something?" Clark jumped off his horse, walked to Du Wei, and carefully took out a box made of high-quality black wood from his arms. After opening it, there was a golden badge inside, and he handed it to Du Wei, saying with a smile: "This is Mr. Chairman asked me to hand it over to you! You are Lord Gandolf's apprentice, and your status has been recognized by the Magic Union. As Lord Gandolf's apprentice, although you have not yet taken any magic level exams, Lord Gandolf You must have extraordinary knowledge of magic. This badge is a badge of honor in the magic guild. It does not represent the level of magic, but it shows that you are a "magic bachelor" recognized by the magic guild. Branches of magic guilds from all over the world can get preferential treatment. When you arrive in the imperial capital, Mr. Chairman will personally assess your magic strength, and then give you a level badge." Du Wei's heart skipped a beat.Looking at the gold badge in his hand, the faint magic fluctuations on it could not be concealed from Du Wei's induction. This is a good thing.Of course Du Wei knew what this badge represented.Although it is not a symbol of the level of a magician, it basically means that the person wearing this badge is a magician! The so-called Bachelor of Magic is equivalent to a "visiting professor" in a university.Not subject to jurisdiction, but it is an honor and a status symbol. "There is one more thing." Clark took off a bundle from his horse, opened it, and carefully folded a robe inside.The style is very similar to the magician's robe, but it is not gray or white, but a set of pure black robes. There are also several signs of the magic union on it, as well as some exquisite patterns.Du Wei didn't know what it was, and Clark explained: "This is the robe of a magician. The cost of this robe is not low. The patterns on it are helpful as long as you use magic. There are also signs of encountering enemies." Sometimes, some simple physical attacks can be bounced off. In the magic union, only members of the presidium can have such a robe. The blessing magic on it is made by several great magicians of the presidium. This robe is in the imperial capital , is a status symbol! There are no more than fifteen people with the status of Bachelor of Magic in the entire mainland magic union!" After a pause, Clark took a step back, bowed respectfully, and greeted Du Wei, a low-level mage who greeted a high-level mage, and then said with a smile: "Scholars of magic have a superlative status in the union. Robe, when walking in the imperial capital, magicians below the sixth level must show respect and etiquette to you." Du Wei became more and more solemn in his heart. I just went out, and before I stepped out of the Luo Lin family's territory, the magic guild showed itself over and over again... Du Wei does not believe that there is a free lunch in the world.The other party spent money to show favor to him, there must be a conspiracy. He didn't refuse at this moment, Du Wei accepted them one by one with a smile, put on the black magician's robe on the spot, and then put on the badge. Sure enough, the magic power on the badge fluctuated immediately, triggering the blessing magic on the mage's robe, and immediately distributed There were silver arcs of light.Du Wei felt a gentle force holding him back, and his body became a little brisk with every move. It seems that the blessing magic above is probably physical skills, such as agility or acceleration. Putting on this mage's robe, my body, which was slightly warm from running around on horseback, gradually cooled down, and it seemed to have a little effect on regulating the temperature. Du Wei was happy, thanked Clark, and then Clark joined Du Wei's team, and the group continued northward, towards the imperial capital. Du Wei finally returned to the imperial capital again, back to the circle of power that he wanted to escape from. Looking forward to the future development!
