Going by sea from Rosen Empire to Aksu Empire would only take seven days. After reaching Aksu Empire's territory, it would take about three days to reach Pudding City, the closest port city to Purcell Duchy. Once there, Ruyen and the others would disembark and take a carriage. After seven days of traveling by land, they would reach Casa City.
As for the 'three unregulated land generation' that Hart mentioned, they would encounter it on the fifth day. It would take them two days to reach the 'three unregulated land generation'.
Whether it was Rosen Empire or Aksu Empire's warships, they rarely came here. This was because this was a buffer zone between Rosen Empire and Aksu Empire. Once the warships of the two empires entered the unregulated territory, the other side would be very nervous. They were afraid that the warships would attack them. Because of this, after a long time, no warships would come here. In the end, it became a place where pirates ran rampant.
Almost everyone on the sea knew that once you reach the unregulated territory, you should be prepared to be robbed at any time. A battle could happen at any time.
After traveling for a few days, the Freesail finally entered the unregulated territory. Hart became even more nervous because the ship had been following them.
In order to allow the crew to have a good rest and prepare for the upcoming battle, Hart deliberately stopped the ship for a day of rest before going on a rampage. At the same time, he also wanted to see if the ship was really following them or just going the same way as them.
In the end, Hart found out that the other party was following them. When they rested, the other party also rested. They just kept a relatively safe distance from them.
After Hart asked Ruyen, he also understood that it was useless to talk to Ruyen. He could only order the crew to be prepared for battle.
After resting for a day, Hart officially entered the unregulated territory the next day. Once they entered the unregulated territory, all the ships consciously kept a safe distance from other ships to avoid misunderstandings. This was because merchant ships could turn into pirates at any time.
Hart also paid special attention to the ship that was following them. The ship still kept a safe distance from them and didn't attack them. This made Hart believe Ruyen's words.
The first day passed peacefully. At night, Hart and the others dropped the anchor. After releasing the sentries, they went to rest. However, everyone placed their weapons within easy reach.
The next day, Hart and the others set out early in the morning. Everyone's nerves were stretched taut, they were afraid that something would happen. But perhaps the heavens were helping them, they didn't encounter any attacks. This made Hart relax. At night, they entered the Aksu Empire's waters. Hart was finally able to relax.
But what Hart didn't expect was that on the second day after they entered the Aksu Empire's waters, they actually encountered an attack. Moreover, this attack didn't come from the ship behind them, but from the Aksu Empire's warship.
The three Aksu Empire warships sailed on the sea. Originally, Hart and the others thought that they were just patrolling warships, so they didn't care. However, they didn't expect that when they entered the enemy's firing range, the enemy would immediately launch a fierce bombardment. This caused Hart and the others to suffer a big loss. Several people on the ship were killed, and several ballistas were destroyed.
Fortunately, Hart and the others were battle-hardened, so they immediately reacted. No matter why the enemy attacked them, they immediately returned fire.
However, they were only on a merchant ship while the enemy had three warships. Their firepower was inferior to the enemy's, and their spells weren't as good as the enemy's. Therefore, they were constantly in a state of being beaten.
At this time, the ship that had been following them sailed over and began to attack the three warships. The ship's attack was very fierce, it wasn't something that a small ship like theirs could compare to. Most importantly, the other party's attack was fearless. They rushed towards the three warships, it seems like they wanted to ram the warships.
At this time, Hart finally believed that the other party was here to protect them. However, Hart felt strange. In the end, who was it that came to protect them? If it was someone from his family, then they should have contacted him. If it wasn't someone from his family, then who was it?
The three warships didn't think that someone would suddenly appear out of nowhere. They were caught unprepared. At the same time, they discovered that the other party didn't seem to care about their own life and death. It seemed like they wanted to perish together with them.
The three warships were afraid, they immediately retreated. The ship didn't chase after them, it just maintained a certain distance from the Freesail and followed behind them.
Hart sent a signal to the other party, but he didn't get any response. In the end, Hart had no choice but to continue forward. Three days later, they arrived at Pudding City. At this time, the ship that was following them silently disappeared.
Naturally, that ship was the Swordfish that was sent by Zhao Hai to protect Ruyen. The Swordfish was filled with undead, so naturally, they weren't afraid of death. If it wasn't for protecting Ruyen, then they would have snatched the three warships from the Aksu Empire.
Naturally, when Ruyen was attacked, Zhao Hai immediately received the news. Moreover, when he heard that it was a warship that attacked Ruyen, Zhao Hai didn't know who it was that attacked Ruyen.
Southern King Borqi, it must be him, there was no one else. Borqi had suffered a big loss under Zhao Hai's hands. At the same time, he also hated the Purcell Family. When Hart entered the Aksu Empire's waters, it was the Southern King's domain. He had the ability to mobilize a warship to attack Hart. Because of this, Zhao Hai was almost certain that this matter was done by Borqi.
However, Zhao Hai wasn't in the mood to deal with Borqi. They had already arrived at Jade Water City. The size of Jade Water City was similar to Rising Water City. The way of management was also similar. The only difference was that the Duchy's wharf was bigger and cleaner.
Naturally, it was impossible for Zhao Hai to stop the ship at the public wharf. No matter what, Charlie was sitting on the ship, and Charlie also had his own wharf.
Under Charlie's guidance, Zhao Hai drove the ship to Charlie's wharf. Naturally, the people there already knew that Charlie was on the ship, so they didn't stop him. On the contrary, the shore was filled with people to welcome him.
After the Haven stopped at the wharf, the gangplank was immediately lowered. Charlie led Zhao Hai and the others down from the ship. Then he told Lirian to arrange for the Haven to be sent to the repair shop for repairs. After all, the Haven had suffered some damage from the previous battle.
Zhao Hai didn't decline Charlie's good intentions. After informing Jinan, Zhao Hai followed Charlie to the carriage. Under the escort of Jade Water City's City Lord, Zhao Hai rushed towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Jade Water City's City Lord was called Trezebo. He was Charlie's loyal subordinate, helping Charlie manage his money bag. Trezebo was very thin and looked very dry. However, Zhao Hai didn't underestimate this person. Although this person didn't have any Battle Qi fluctuations, Zhao Hai could feel that this person had the same temperament as Shun.
What was Shun? A Death Warrior, what was a person with the same temperament as Shun? The answer was yes, he was also a Death Warrior. This made Zhao Hai surprised. He didn't think that Charlie would send a Death Warrior to manage Jade Water City.
As the carriage headed towards the City Lord's Mansion, the curtains on both sides of the carriage were opened. Then Charlie pointed out some famous buildings in Jade Water City to Zhao Hai.
But what surprised Zhao Hai the most was that Jade Water City was different from Rising Water City and Sky Water City. Jade Water City's merchants were all concentrated in different areas of the city. If one area sells food, then they sell food. If one area sells daily necessities, then they sell daily necessities. This way, you can't find the wrong place.
Zhao Hai didn't think that Charlie would manage Jade Water City like this. However, he had to admit that this method was very good. It made Jade Water City's management more convenient.
Seeing that Zhao Hai approved of this method, Charlie couldn't help but feel proud. This was because this method was proposed by him.
Before long, the carriage arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion was very imposing, but compared to Sky Water City's City Lord's Mansion, it was still lacking.
After entering the City Lord's Mansion, they directly entered the third gate. Trezebo arranged for Zhao Hai and Charlie to stay in the Purple Bamboo Courtyard. This courtyard was the largest, most beautiful, and most elegant courtyard in the City Lord's Mansion. It was also specially reserved for Charlie.
Originally, Zhao Hai didn't want to live here. However, Charlie was too enthusiastic and insisted that he live in the Purple Bamboo Courtyard. Zhao Hai couldn't refuse and agreed.
To be honest, Zhao Hai really liked the environment of the Purple Bamboo Courtyard. The environment was very beautiful. Moreover, Zhao Hai also liked bamboo. The Purple Bamboo Courtyard was filled with Purple Bamboo, it was very beautiful.
It must be said that Bamboo Rice was also a type of bamboo. However, this type of bamboo was very common. Moreover, it was mainly used for grain production. Because of this, its ornamental value was neglected.
The Purple Bamboo Courtyard wasn't only used for ornamental purposes. This type of bamboo was a very good material for weapons in the continent. Thin bamboo could be used to make spears or bows. Additionally, this type of bamboo was very tough. Because of this, weapons made from this type of bamboo were very popular in the continent.
However, this type of bamboo was just like the bread tree. It had very high requirements for the environment. Temperature, humidity, and climate were all very strict. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to survive. Because of this, the production of this type of bamboo in the continent wasn't very high.
On the other hand, Jade Water City was the largest producer of Purple Bamboo. The mountain here was full of Purple Bamboo, making Purple Bamboo the main export product.
When they arrived at the Purple Bamboo Courtyard, Trezebo asked to be excused. He wanted to prepare a banquet to welcome Charlie. He didn't arrange too many servants in the courtyard because he knew that Charlie didn't like it. Therefore, before Charlie arrived, Trezebo had the courtyard cleaned up. Then he left behind four maids and no one else. This was to Charlie's liking, as well as Zhao Hai's intention.
Since everything was prepared, Zhao Hai didn't need to prepare anything. Therefore, it didn't take long for them to pack everything up.
The Purple Bamboo Courtyard had a total of 27 rooms. Naturally, Charlie would be living in the main room while Zhao Hai would be living in a separate building at the back.
After Zhao Hai finished packing, Trezebo appeared again. This time, he invited Charlie to have a meal. While Trezebo was away, he also asked Charlie to investigate Zhao Hai. Although he already had some information about Zhao Hai, he didn't pay much attention to Zhao Hai at that time. But now that he saw Charlie paying so much attention to Zhao Hai, Trezebo understood that Zhao Hai had become Charlie's subordinate. As Charlie's trusted aide, he naturally had to share Charlie's burdens and investigate Zhao Hai's background.
After the group sat down in the dining room, the maids immediately served the food. The food prepared by Trezebo wasn't particularly luxurious. However, the food prepared by Trezebo had some characteristics, they were all seasonal and the freshest.
Charlie was very satisfied with Trezebo's arrangement. While eating, he introduced Trezebo and Zhao Hai to each other.
After the meal, the group sat down in the living room. Charlie took a sip of tea before turning to Trezebo and said, "Trezebo, tomorrow I want you to give Mister Zhao Hai a badge of mine. Later on, he will be exempt from all taxes in Jade Water City. His ships can also use my private pier. Right, find a good store for Mister Zhao Hai. After tidying it up, send it to Mister Zhao Hai, consider it my gift to Mister Zhao Hai."
Trezebo nodded, Zhao Hai wasn't polite, he smiled at Charlie and said, "Then I'll have to thank Your Highness. After I settle down, I'll send you the things you want. Right, I want to buy some daily necessities and ironwares, I'll need Your Highness' help."
Charlie stared, "Ironwares? What does mister need ironwares for? Weapons? Those things aren't easy to get. Even if I want to produce a large quantity of weapons, I still need to report it to my family. Moreover, you should know that my identity is very complicated, sometimes it's more convenient for me to do these things. "
Zhao Hai nodded, "I know, Your Highness doesn't need to worry about this. I don't need too much ironwares, but I need daily necessities. Most importantly, I need a lot of pottery. Can Your Highness help me? I also don't need too much, one ship is enough. "
When Charlie heard Zhao Hai, he nodded and said, "If that's the case, then there won't be a problem. Mister can rest assured. Trezebo, you need to prepare everything for mister as soon as possible. At the same time, prepare a pond that can raise 50 thousand fire fishes as well as transportation. How many days do you need?"
