Wolf King

Chapter 112 Determination

On the pier, the crew and the vassal races of the elves were busy unloading, bags of spices were transported to the shore, and the heads of each family counted and loaded them into warehouses.

Five of the thirty ships were loaded with goods from the Sea Race, and the goods sealed in wooden boxes were moved down and piled up on the other side of the pier by the Sea Race crew members with blue film ears, and their goods did not need to be put into storage , will be transported directly into the elf forest after unloading.

"Mr. Darren, this is the fee for this trip." A sea nobleman wearing riding boots, breeches, a puff-sleeved shirt, and a sleeveless trench coat over it approached Darren who was standing in the middle of the pier to maintain order, and motioned The entourage handed over the box containing the gold coins, "Please greet His Royal Highness for me, we will come back when we return."

Darren asked the guards to take the cash box, and bowed with a smile: "I wish you all the best, Master Winston."

Master Winston nodded slightly reservedly, turned around and led the people away. A group of forest elves dressed in official civil servants were standing outside the pier waiting for the master mermaid.

"The treatment is really bad. His Royal Highness didn't even have a forest elf to come to greet him." The prince's guard carrying the money box said sourly, "We used five of our ships to give this few gold coins..."

"Keep your voice down, idiot, if it weren't for the fact that there are sea people in our fleet back and forth, do you think our sea voyage can be so smooth?" Dali shouted in a low voice, "The fleet of the Lamia Merchant Group will also have accidents. , but we won't, it's much more cost-effective than borrowing a few boats to go out."

The guard shrugged, not daring to speak nonsense.

"Hi Darren!"

A harsh voice sounded, Darren cursed inwardly, and smiled sincerely when he turned his face: "Chief Blue, I'm here."

The head of the guard, Bruce, avoided the sweaty crew unloading in disgust, and ran over annoyedly: "What's the matter, how can His Royal Highness Anthony disembark from the chaos on the pier?"

"I'm really sorry, Captain Blue, this is a mistake in our arrangement. We should have cleared the place first and let His Royal Highness Anthony disembark. It's just that when the ship entered the port, the port did not have time to prepare a residence commensurate with His Royal Highness, so..."

"Enough, where is Your Highness Carlisle?"

"His Royal Highness entered the port and negotiated with the forest elves to clear out the best residence for His Royal Highness Anthony..."

Captain Bruce stared at Darren for a few seconds, turned his head with a cold snort, and ran towards the big ship where Anthony was.

"...I don't want to disembark because I hate the chaos at the pier. His Royal Highness Anthony is so different from Prince Carlisle. If you are so annoying, why do you insist on coming?" The guard couldn't help muttering.

Darren didn't bother to care if he was talking too much this time.

In the east of the port, the snow werewolf rented area.

Carlisle and Tim stared blankly at the thriving unlicensed food store, unable to recover for a long time.

"Huh? Hello?" Mu Mu waved his hand in front of the two of them. Seeing that they didn't turn their eyes, they turned back nervously and shouted, "It's not spicy, Ashu! Carlisle and Tim are stupid!"

"Hurry up and help!!" Ah Shu, who was slapped on the face by countless hands holding copper coins, was angry and anxious.

"Oh!" Mumu ran back quickly.

"My hot and sour noodles~~ Hurry up~~ I'm going to starve to death~~"

"Is my kebab not ready yet? Come on, I'm waiting to drink!"

"Who stole the candy I put here?!"

"Hey bastard, I bought that bottle of hot sauce, and you still pour it for me? Stop!"

"My uncle escaped from death in the nest of killer bees, and finally escaped to have a good meal. How dare you grab my braised pork?!"

"Hey, no fighting is allowed at table five! Let others have a good meal!"

"Nanfeng, don't worry about the stew, just throw those two fighters out!"

"Oh." The cub Nanfeng squeezed out amidst the cursing of the guests queuing up in front of the stewed pot, walked to table number five, struck out with both hands like lightning, and grabbed the two adventurers who had already drawn out their weapons. Holding one in each hand, standing in place with a "hey!", and throwing the two of them on the beach...

"Ah-boom!"

The scene suddenly became quiet, and the buddy who was pouring other people's hot sauce silently returned the bottle to the original owner, and handed over a copper coin to compensate for the loss.

Carlisle & Tim standing not far away: "..."

"The business of adventurers is not easy either..." Tim, who had never seen the chaos in the slums, said with a twitch.

"... That's right." Carlisle nodded while wiping his sweat. The owner of the store has no strength to suppress, and these unruly adventurers can kill you with just a little friction.

During the peak lunch hour, the food store of the Snow Wolf Clan was basically in such a chaotic and noisy style. The two stood and waited for more than half an hour. Finally able to walk in... It is too difficult for them to squeeze others with their arms and butts to fight for a place where they can get down like adventurers.

Then... In order to have a more pleasing seat, the two of them had to clean up the table for the guests by themselves - the adventurers would return the bowl after eating, the table was designated not to be wiped, and the table was in a mess Not to mention the degree.

"Carlisle, what do you want to eat?" Mumu shouted standing behind the powder pot.

"Of course it's to try something we haven't eaten before." Carlisle replied.

"Go there and line up." Mumu pointed at the stew pot honestly and bluntly.

"..."

For the business of a few copper coins, you really can't expect the service attitude of the "clerk" to be very good. Prince Carlisle comforted himself and stood at the back of the line.

Fortunately, most of the guests left at this moment, and the rest were either eaten one by one or rearranged. After waiting for about ten minutes, Carlisle and Tim had the first half of the stewed flavor on the mainland. .

"Obviously my country is the place where spices are produced, but why do they know how to use spices better than us?" Prince Carlisle couldn't laugh or cry when he tasted orange peel, cinnamon bark, star anise, fennel and other flavors from the full-flavored stewed soup.

Tim couldn't stop eating...

Sending off the last batch of stuffed belly guys, the shop assistants finally took a breather, Mumu grabbed a pancake and sat down at Carlisle's table, grinning triumphantly: "How about it, isn't it good? It's delicious."

"It's not bad." Carlisle had already finished his stew and was eating hot and sour noodles. He wrapped the vegetable leaves with a fork and asked curiously, "The vegetables are very fresh. Have you found a way to preserve them for a long time?"

"No, this batch of green vegetables was delivered yesterday." Mumu Kazkazi gnawed on the pancakes, "The vegetables that were collected from the field yesterday morning are of course very fresh."

Carlisle and Tim stared at her blankly.

"You... Could it be that Lu and Balk delivered the food?" Carlisle was surprised.

"It's not spicy, it's loaded on a wooden boat and floated down the river." Mu Mu was proud again, "Our small canal has been dug through, and now the trip back and forth is very fast, and fresh ingredients are delivered every few days."

"Hiss—" Carlisle and Timiqiqi gasped... Both of them have been to the Snow Wolf Tribe and know how far it is from the coast. How long did it take to dig the artificial river from the tribe?Are you devils? !

Prince Carlisle was not in a hurry to return to the fleet, so he simply ran along the small canal of the Snow Wolf Clan.After walking for about two hours, more than ten kilometers away from the Elf Port, standing on the side of the canyon created by the crustal changes and cracks, looking at the spacious river channel dug by man-made directly to the sea, Prince Carlisle was so shocked that he could not speak.

To be fair, the canal dug by the Snowwolves is not particularly spectacular. After all, it is only an artificial river ten meters wide and two meters deep. The two sides of the river bank are only paved with a layer of cement bricks. The amount of work has not yet reached an astonishing level. .

But considering the total length of the river and the pitiful population of the Huoyan Tribe, it would be amazing to be able to build a canal of this size in less than a year. As a prince, Carlisle is very It is clear that if a river project of the same scale is carried out in St. Bridge, the consumption of manpower and material resources is enough to drag down the municipal economy of a town with a population of 10,000+.

"No... If it's St. Bridges, this kind of river project that doesn't have enough clear benefits is simply impossible to pass in any city's parliament... unless the manors of the nobles are submerged in the event of a flood, but That's also impossible, who would build a manor on that kind of land with high risks and insecure returns, and there are more secure lands for the nobles to choose from."

Prince Carlisle's inner thoughts turned, and the hand hanging by his side subconsciously clenched into a fist. A town with a population of 10,000+ is difficult to do, but a prairie tribe with only a few hundred people can do it. The gap is not just in the races of the two sides... Ordinary people can only see the surface, Carlisle But he can see the connotation, and this is what makes him feel uneasy.

——Teacher Ayun can concentrate the power of the snow wolf clan, cat clan, gray dwarves, and goblins to complete seemingly impossible tasks, but what about him as a disciple?What about him as the prince of the human kingdom? !

Mumu untied the rope tied to the tree stump on the shore, and the cub Nanfeng each grabbed a paddle board and jumped onto the wooden rowing boat, waving to the shore: "Come on, Tim, get ready to go."

"Okay." Tim nodded to Carlisle, climbed down the dirt steps dug out on the side of the canyon, and jumped onto the boat carefully.

"Let's go hot~" Mu Mu waved his hands to Carlisle, and paddled left and right together with Nan Feng, and the simple paddling boat went upstream with the sound of slapping on the water surface, and the speed was quite fast.

Carlisle stood by the edge of the canyon and watched the boat drift away. He let out a long breath and turned back... After several hours, it was time to go back and face it.

As Carlisle thought, the fleet had been in port for half a day, and a lot of cargo had been unloaded, but his elder brother Anthony still hadn't got off the ship.

"The forest elves warmly received Master Winston of the Sea Clan, but no one came to greet the royal family of St. Bridge. His Royal Highness Anthony is probably angry about this." There was no outsider, and he leaned into Carlisle's ear and said with a smirk.

"You intentionally let someone reveal it to him?" Carlisle asked amusedly.

"That's not intentional. His Highness Anthony's chief guard saw it with his own eyes." Darren shrugged.

Carlisle shook his head. Before entering the cabin, he straightened his clothes that had been blown by the sea breeze. He pulled himself together and put on a royal smile, and stretched out his hand to open the door.

In the exquisitely decorated main cabin, His Royal Highness Anthony, Prince of St. Bridge, sitting on the sofa, is elegantly sipping rose wine. The reporter was humming a southern ditty softly, and the soft and delicate melody made Carlisle feel drowsy after only two sentences.

His Highness Anthony didn't seem to notice Carlisle who pushed the door in. His fingers resting on the armrest of the sofa tapped rhythmically to the singer's beat. There was a lazy smile of enjoyment on the corner of his mouth, as if he was relaxing Intoxicated by the soft singing.

Carlisle was very tired of this kind of social "decency" that had to wait for others to take the initiative to speak out, so he simply walked over to the singer and made a pause gesture to the singer, and sat down on the sofa opposite Anthony.

The singing stopped abruptly, and the singer looked at Anthony anxiously.

Anthony "finally" saw his younger brother and tilted his head slightly. The singer quickly got up and bowed, and left.

When the woman walked out of the room, Carlisle said, "Anthony, the hotel where General Kleist stayed is not open to the public. I think we may have to live on the ship."

Anthony didn't hide his dissatisfaction: "When you came last year, did you live on the boat?"

"No, last year we didn't have any overly picky guests, so I shared a room with Tim and Dan, it was a very rustic cabin, we could see spiders, centipedes in the corners of the room and under the bed , ants, yes, there are also lizards, and occasionally snakes."

"Carlisle! Is this how you talk to me!" Anthony swung his right hand vigorously, and the beautiful crystal red wine glass hit the wall and shattered into pieces.

"I'm sorry." Carlisle nodded slightly, "I'm just telling the truth, Anthony, there's nothing to lie about in a place like this."

Anthony stood up abruptly, pointing his finger at his younger brother unceremoniously: "Your words and deeds that are so uneducated really shame the name of Ferdinand, Carlisle, the addition of a barbarian teacher will make you forget that you are a royal family." Is it the proper manners? Unabashedly mixing with a group of low-class people, how far do you want to humiliate St. Bridge?"

Carlisle was angry, and spread his hands with a smile: "You may have misunderstood something, Anthony. The Ferdinand family is indeed a royal family in St. Bridge, but when we go abroad, the royal family members are just status. One kind. As now, you and I are mere foreign merchants in the port of the Wood Elves, and if you feel that this is an insult to St. Bridge, then why did you go on board?"

"What insolent nonsense are you talking about!" Anthony growled angrily.

"If you think you can be a good crown prince by hiding in a clean and warm room and being treated respectfully by everyone, then I don't think you will try your best to make my father put pressure on me to join the fleet Already." Carlisle said calmly.

"Carlisle!"

"The forest elves don't care whether there is one prince or two in the fleet. I am willing to take a step back and not leave the ship to live. I just don't want the forest elves to find us when they know that there are two 'Princes of St. Bridge' in the fleet. I don't even bother to maintain the most basic superficial friendship between them, this is my responsibility as a member of the royal family." Carlisle nodded slightly, "But at the same time, I have a more important responsibility to ensure the smooth progress of the transaction, so, Anthony, Please forgive me for not being able to learn from you, because others are not respectful enough, and you are not respected enough to give you the dignity you deserve, so I throw away my business and lose my temper."

"Clang! Crack! Bang!"

Darren and Chief Guard Bruce, who were guarding the corridor, shrank their necks at the same time. The two looked back at the closed gate at the same time. Their eyes met inadvertently. Chief Guard Blue glared at Darren and turned his head away. He curled his lips and rolled his eyes calmly.

The two princes quarreled more and more times, and it was a headache for those close to them... Fortunately, they knew that they had to quarrel behind closed doors, so they didn't make it too difficult for everyone.

When Carlisle returned to his room, there were bloodstains on the back of his hand. Darren took out the ointment and rubbed it on him, hung up his coat for him, opened a can of fruit and poured it on the plate: "Anthony knew that he brought the maid Serving him, I think you can also think about it, Carlisle, you can't wash your own socks every time you come out."

"The space on the ship is relatively tight, there is no need to let unnecessary people come up." Carlisle shook his head, "Besides, the life on the ship is so hard, why bother the lady."

Darren said "ha": "Did you also say this to Anthony?"

"That singer's throat was damaged due to improper maintenance. This is someone else's job for a lifetime." Carlisle frowned.

Darren spread his hands: "I don't think you brothers will be able to get along in this lifetime."

"Harmony, do you think so?" Carlisle raised his eyes.

"It's natural to say this from the standpoint of your consideration. From my own standpoint, please forgive me for saying that I really don't want to see His Highness Anthony." Darren said without any concealment, "How dare you use Tim To make a fuss, I think such behavior is very disgraceful."

Carlisle probably didn't expect Darren to be so straightforward, so he was taken aback for a while before shaking his head with a wry smile.

It was late at night when Tim arrived at the Snow Wolf Tribe. When he stood on the square where he had been twice, he watched groups of people running back and forth and busy by the hazy moonlight. close……

"It's time to harvest alfalfa again." Mu Mu rubbed her aching arm and looked around, Tim could only see a rough shadow, she could clearly see that everyone was carrying Cao Bale, "Then Ah Yun is probably very busy, so it's hard to find him right now, why don't you sleep with us for one night and talk about it tomorrow?"

"Uh...okay." Tim nodded stiffly.

"I'm not going to sleep, I'm going to find Dahe." Nanfeng said.

"You want to ask Dahe for something to eat, right? Go ahead." Mumu smiled and slapped Nanfeng, "Don't go there, Tim, let's go this way, don't block others way."

Tim quickly followed Mumu.

Tim is quite used to the Datongpu where the Snowwolves live, but he used to live with his own people, but this time he was brought into the Snowwolf's room by Mumu and pulled to sleep together by Mumu.

When taking off his coat, Tim suddenly remembered something, and looked down at Mumu stiffly.

Mu Mu had already taken off her clothes two or three times, and lay down beside her in only her underpants, sleeping sprawled out.

"Mumu seems to be a...female...?" Tim's eyelids twitched, and his eyes subconsciously moved towards Mumu's chest - an inverted triangle figure, big chest muscles, the same size as Darren, and even bigger muscles than Darren London more...

Tim calmed down immediately, took off his coat and folded it, and lay down comfortably.

Xiao Yun is a person who pays great attention to efficiency in doing things. Not only does he talk about efficiency himself, but he also wants to influence the people around him so that others can improve their efficiency, so... after working hard on the sea for more than a month, he floated on a rowing boat Tim, who had been working for more than ten hours, just didn't get the treatment of waking up naturally, and he was woken up by Xiao Yun's shake before dawn.

"Just let us know that you are here, let Mumu and the others take the message. You came here specially, did something happen to Carlisle?" Xiao Yun asked.

Tim, who hasn't fully opened his eyes: "..."

Ten minutes later, Tim finished the process of getting up, washing and dressing as if he was in a war, and sat face to face with Xiao Yun in the activity room.

"Your identity problem? What is this problem called?" Xiao Yun was very puzzled after hearing Tim's words, "Isn't an alchemist a spell caster? Isn't a spell caster very difficult? Even if you are the son of a serf, it won't affect you." this place?"

"For the caster, it doesn't matter if he's just the son of a serf. The problem is that I'm the 'adopted son' of the Humphrey family." Tim smiled wryly. The rules of the caster, I should serve the Humphrey family until the death of the owner who adopted me - the lifespan of the caster is long, it is impossible to serve the family for life after being trained by any family, but it is inevitable to give back to the current owner It must be done, otherwise, the head of the Humphrey family has the right to file a complaint with the Alchemist Association and expel me from the association."

At first, Xiao Yun wanted to say what kind of ghost logic this is, but after thinking about it after substituting the customs of this world, he realized that this logic is not wrong, and to a certain extent, it even guarantees the interests of the caster—in case a certain family gives him If you arrange a group of "adopted sons" who are gifted as spellcasters, you will have to take care of a child for decades after becoming a spellcaster, which even a spellcaster can't afford; On the body of the contemporary patriarch, if the patriarch dies, the caster will be free, which is more reliable than ancient Chinese scholars accepting bets from wealthy businessmen.

If someone has the ability to adopt and cultivate a spellcaster, the age of the owner must be at least 20 to [-] years. The spellcaster has been mature for at least [-] or [-] years, and the owner of the spellcaster must be at least [-] or [-] years old. At this time, just serve for more than ten years and it will be over. There is nothing wrong with it. .

"I'm just a low-level alchemist. The service I provided to the Humphrey family before was to provide a certain amount of alchemy potions every year. This level is enough. I can't do more, and neither will the Humphrey family. Make an unreasonable request." Tim said painfully, "His Royal Highness Anthony asked Baron Humphrey to surrender, and the baron could not refuse... Because of this matter, His Royal Highness Anthony and Baron Humphrey have already boarded the ship, and I am the one who caused trouble for Carlisle. "

"If Anthony wants to board the ship, he can do it regardless of your business. After all, he is a member of the royal family and Carlisle's elder brother." Xiao Yun frowned and said, "Your matter is not as difficult as you think. Carlisle has made preparations." For more than two years, not to mention winning, the odds are much greater. As long as he and Anthony decide the outcome, Baron Humphrey will naturally know which side to choose. The only problem is..."

Tim heard that Xiao Yun's previous words were exactly the same as Prince Carlisle's tone, and he was excited. The last sentence lifted his heart: "What is it?"

Xiao Yun said coldly in an understatement tone: "It depends on whether Carlisle has the determination to kill the grass."
