my age of magic

Chapter 960 61. The Greens Living in Vashj
"Are you the young man they rescued from the sea just now?"

I sat down on a chair under a parasol, and a man in an ice silk robe came over and asked me.

His clothes are beautifully embroidered with dark patterns, his skinny chest is exposed from the open placket, his body hollowed out by wine looks very weak, I always have the urge to give him a 'hydrotherapy' .

Lying on the bench next to the man was a blonde beauty, wearing a cool tube top and a short skirt. The scorching sun shone on her skin like beeswax, and every pore was covered with a fine oily sheen.

I nodded slightly to him and said, "It's me."

I looked around the roof and found that the nobles staying on the roof looked very relaxed. They didn't feel any panic because they were caught in the war of planes, and they didn't feel any panic because Marquis Boris betrayed the Mensa family. Become worried, everything seems very harmonious.

Seeing that the thin noble man did not leave just then, he warmly greeted the waiter standing aside, and then said very coolly: "Bring them two glasses of watermelon juice with ice, I treat them!"

"Duke Wheeler!" The noble man shook my hand and said his name.

His hands are well maintained, the nails on each finger have been carefully manicured, and the palms are dry and slightly cool, like the hands of a pianist.

"Giga!" I said to him.

At this time, the waiter brought two glasses of watermelon juice with ice cubes and put them in front of Katerina and me.

I said to this man named Duke, "Thank you for the watermelon juice."

Duke smiled smartly, and asked me with natural familiarity: "Where are you from? Where is your ship? Did you meet those hunters from the Faceless Legion at sea?"

"Connerson Island, have you heard of it? It's in the eastern waters." I asked him.

Duke raised his eyebrows and said to me: "Of course I have heard of it. I have also met Earl Evan. He is a very upright gentleman."

We had something in common, that is, Earl Avon and some anecdotes on Connerson Island.

I don't know much about Connerson Island, but I spent nearly half a month with Earl Evan, so I talked very speculatively with Duke.

Maybe it was because the boring life at sea was about to drive him crazy. After Duke found someone to chat with, he kept pulling me to sit on the roof and chatting, and even invited us to have dinner together, but I was caught by me I politely declined.

We chatted for a long time, and then the female companion beside him also joined our topic. Duke was very talkative, he was very well-informed, and knew a little about Connerson Island, so he decided that I was from Connerson The troubled nobleman who was exiled from the island, he didn't ask me where I want to go next, but very euphemistically said that he could subsidize me for a trip. bag, he did not mention it any more. ...

Later, we talked about Vashj’s war of planes. The people living here didn’t seem to feel any panic because of the invasion of the Faceless Legion. When Duke talked to me about the reason, it sounded a little ridiculous: The reason is that the aborigines of the Naga Sea tribe who ruled the Vashj sea area launched a national war and blocked the Faceless Legion at the entrance of the Great Abyss, and a huge fleet of the Mensa family stationed at the Great Abyss also participated in the war. In the battle against the invasion of dark forces, it is said that the battle situation has been in a stalemate.

That's why people on the Vashj plane naively think that the sea area they live in is still very safe.

However, the Faceless Hunting Squads have appeared in various sea areas recently, and there are occasional reports of hijacking some ships at sea.

Because this kind of ship robbery incidents are not frequent, in normal times, even if there are no these faceless men hunting teams in the sea to hijack merchant ships, there will be rampant pirate gangs, so so far, these faceless man hunting teams have not caused any disturbances. The attention of the high-level lords of the Siqi plane.

Speaking of this, Duke showed a mocking smile on his thin face, and said to me: The reason why the great lords of the Vashj plane did not take some countermeasures against the Faceless Hunting Squad was actually because Marquis Boris Recently, he is leading the fleet under his command to suppress the lords who oppose him on the Vashj plane, so he has no energy to deal with the Faceless Hunting Squad for the time being.

I guess that the Wheeler family behind Duke Wheeler must have some influence in the Vashj plane, so that he has such an understanding of the current situation of the Vashj plane.

So I asked Duke: "Your Excellency Duke, can I ask you a question?"

"Since you raised it so formally, it must be difficult to answer this question!" Duke crossed his hands in front of his chest, resting his elbows on the table, with a faint smile on his face.

I thought he was unwilling to talk about some sensitive political issues, so I lowered my head and took a sip of iced watermelon juice, thinking about how to start the next topic.

Unexpectedly, at this time, I heard Duke say to me: "However, I like to do some exciting things. You might as well ask. If you really can't answer, I can't say anyway."

I went straight to the point and asked him, "I want to know...Of course, it's just your personal opinion. Marquis Boris and Marquis Louis, which one do you prefer to support?"

Duke Wheeler looked like he knew you would ask me such a question, turned his body and patted his female partner's plump buttocks, and said kindly to her: "Honey, help me get a cup of gold." Cider, and a plate of oysters in lemonade."

The blond beauty leaning against Duke Wheeler smiled, stood up charmingly, turned and walked away.

"I knew you couldn't help asking me this, from the moment you said 'you're from Connerson Island', I knew you couldn't help asking me this question!" He spread his hands and made a With a very helpless expression, he asked me curiously: "Could it be that the nobles on Connerson Island were all brainwashed by Louis Mensa? How could they all be his diehard loyalists! My God, this is Vashj, It’s not Ilinas of Emerald Bay, nor the capital, how can his personal charm be so great that people are willing to give up their immediate interests and support him?”

"I'm a friend of Louis!" I made no secret of my relationship with Louis Mensa.

Duke Wheeler shook his head speechlessly, and then said with some emotion: "It's your luck or his luck that you and that Louis guy can become friends. You're still concerned about his life in Watts. Regarding Siqi’s right to rule, are the people on Connerson Island as stubborn as you?”

Duke's words reminded me of Earl Evan who dared to move the entire island to the south of the Great Abyss. As a supporter of Louis, he chose to fight.

I said to him, "Of course not, other people are much more radical than my approach, and those people choose to fight to solve problems."

At this time, the sailors standing on the watchtower of the mainmast began to ring the bell frantically, and the sailors on the deck began to cheer.

Duke raised his head and looked into the distance, but he couldn't see Du Nai Island on the sea for a long time, so he could only look back angrily, and said to me: "The interests of the family are closely related to my personal interests. The thoughts of many lords are decisions that are in line with the current interests."

"We don't care about who will manage Vashj. The lords of the Vashj plane only need a stable, peaceful, and prosperous Vashj. Whoever can give us more rights and more benefits, we will do it. Who will you support?"

"For a long time, it has been the Vashj plane that has continuously transported resources to the Grimm Empire, constantly using the resources from the Vashj plane to transfuse the empire to maintain the prosperity of the Grimm Empire, but what did Vashj get? ?”

"Although we are from the Green Empire, we are also Vashj people. We have lived in this plane for several generations, and we have already had an inseparable feeling for this place. We are constantly expanding our territory and occupying more islands. , Looting more resources from this plane to feed back the Grimm Empire, if those resources were used to build the Vashj plane, perhaps this place would have become the 'City of Thousand Islands' decades ago."

"Now it seems that Marquis Boris has brought us more benefits. Less than half of Vashki's lords support him, and the rest are some neutrals. They will neither move closer to Louis nor swear allegiance to Boris. We are loyal only to Vashj."

Perhaps this is the truest thought in the minds of most of the lords on the Vashj plane. They need more autonomy and more benefits. The opposite of Qi lords, it is no wonder that Marquis Boris would declare Vashki to be officially independent at this time.

But then, another question came to my mind, that is, the crisis that Vashki's plane is facing now. In the face of the invasion of dark forces, can Vashki survive the plane war.

So I asked Duke: "But what about the Faceless Ones? Without the support of the province of Palestina, what do you think of doing?"

Unexpectedly, Duke laughed as if he had heard the Arabian Nights, and then said: "The support of the province of Palestina? Don't be ridiculous, it has always been Vashj's fleet guarding the abyss." The exit of the abyss, if we stop the supply of resources to the Grimm Empire, and use these resources to build an army against the Faceless, we will definitely be able to drive those dark forces back into the abyss."

I continued to ask Duke: "So, you handed over the resources to Boris to agree to deploy?"

Duke narrowed his eyes and said, "How is that possible! Compared to Boris, I would rather believe in the great lord on Yam Island in the western waters of the Great Abyss, Marquis Christopher."

"It turned out to be him!" I suddenly realized, no wonder Yamu Island seems to be so prosperous, it turns out that it is also another important military town on the Vashj plane.

I said to Duke: "A few days ago, I met Marquis Christopher, and I heard him say that no matter how the Mensa family fights, he will not intervene, but there is a premise, that is, to ensure that Yam Island supplies. It seems that Earl Boris needs to pay for the recent supplies to Yam Island!"

Duke Wheeler smiled and said: "He wants to rule the entire Vashj, so he can't take all the benefits!"

At this time, I heard heavy footsteps behind me, and a familiar voice wanted to sound behind me: "The attendant said, have you looked for me?"

I turned around and glanced back, only to see the middle-aged captain leaning on the railing, with a sexy woman in scantily clad arms in his arms, squinting at me with a half-smile.

"Ah, Captain, I just came to you just to express my thanks to you in person!" I stood up and said politely to the middle-aged captain, but my eyes couldn't help falling on the sexy man beside him. Sensational woman's slender legs.

I saw that she was wearing a tight-fitting long skirt with shark pattern. This exquisite long skirt perfectly outlined the concave and convex curves of her body. At this moment, she was also looking at me with curious eyes.

"In addition, I also hope to make up for our party's ship. I hope, Captain, you can take us to Dunai Island by the way!" I reached into the money bag and grabbed a handful in it.

"It's just a matter of raising a finger, you and Baron Duke are friends, how can I still charge your travel expenses..." the captain said politely.

At first he still insisted on refusing to accept it, but when I opened my palm to reveal a few magic crystals exuding a magical halo inside, the captain's eyes suddenly became straight. He never thought that I would casually Then he took out a handful of magic crystals and gave them to her, and was stunned on the spot for a while, after all, magic crystals are priceless, and a random piece is worth ten gold coins.

The sexy woman nestled in the captain's arms also covered her mouth all of a sudden, looking at the magic crystal in my hand in amazement, not knowing what to say.

"Ahh...Jijia, you are really hiding something! There is actually a magic crystal in your purse." Duke on the side also said in surprise.

I stuffed the magic crystal into the captain's hand, and then said to him: "I was very tired from being adrift at sea before. I want to go back to my room to rest, so I will excuse you first."

Then, I saluted Duke and said to him, "Thank you for the iced watermelon juice, it's delicious!"

I took Katerina to the direction of the roof stairs, and stopped after walking a few steps. I suddenly thought of something, so I stopped again, turned around and walked in front of the captain, who looked nervously at her. with me.

"Well... when the boat is approaching the pier, remember to ask someone to remind me!" I said to the captain.

The captain agreed without hesitation, and then watched me leave.

The 'Nautilus' is a merchant ship bound for the island of Dunai, carrying all kinds of daily necessities on board. In the past, merchants would exchange these supplies for some specialties on the island of Dunay and magic materials from sea animals. After the portal to Ilinas City was destroyed, the impact on many chambers of commerce on the Vashj plane was devastating.

Many special products on the Vashj plane began to be unsalable, and at the same time, many islands became extremely scarce for some living materials that could not be produced by themselves.

The 'Nautilus' was loaded with a boat full of daily necessities and went to Du Nai Island. Except for gold coins, silver coins, and magic crystals, only some advanced magic materials would be recognized by merchants. As for the local products on those islands, they were Let it rot slowly in the soil!
