GOR Chapter 344 "Heavy Burden"
The Tulip Family's fleet was not the largest compared to the bustling docks in the Imperial Capital which had the best throughput in the continent. However, the problem was that the fleet was too eye-catching. First of all, the twenty ships were all Sea Soul-class ships, which was extremely rare in the inland canals. It could be said that if it was not for the need to widen the river to welcome the triumphant return of the Southeast Ocean Expeditionary Fleet, it would be difficult for such large ships to directly enter the Imperial Capital from the waterway.
Secondly, it is "thanks" to the dazzling and eye-catching Flaming Tulip flag on the ship.
Such a large fleet actually occupies the entire river and even docked at the docks for a long time. Originally, the docks in the Imperial Capital were full of merchant ships going in and out every day. With such a large fleet occupying so many berths, of course, it would be crowded. However, other people saw the Tulip flag and no one dared to provoke them.
Under the supervision of the Imperial Capital's police officers and soldiers, the huge fleet began to unload the cargo. The huge and heavy boxes were carried down from the large ships. The heavily armed Tulip Family warriors were strictly on guard. Zuckerberg personally supervised the scene and mobilized hundreds of large carts to carry the goods back and forth.
After working in full swing for two days, all the ships were finally unloaded. At this time, if one is careful, one would find that the police officer in charge of the inspection at the docks was sweating profusely.
Since the day of the coup, the Solomon Family used merchant ships to secretly transport a group of archers into the Imperial Capital. After the coup, the inspection of the docks in and out of the Imperial Capital became strict. Fortunately, Du Wei and the current commander of the police department, Camisiro, have a good personal relationship. (Camisiro is about to leave the police department and take up a position in the military. He is also happy to do Du Wei a favor before leaving.) Therefore, the inspection of the Tulip Family's ships was not very strict. They only casually opened two or three boxes of goods to check if there were any prohibited weapons or dangerous people inside. Then, they were let go.
However … … it is worth mentioning that during the interrogation, in one of the cargo compartments of the ship, Zach casually opened up a box in front of the security officer. The moment the box was opened, the security officer took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Almighty God!"
The golden light in the box was reflected on his face, almost blinding the poor guy! At this moment, the greed and surprise in human nature were fully displayed.
Zuckerberg immediately closed the box. Then, he took out a piece of gold the size of half a brick from his sleeve and stuffed it into the official's hand. He lightly said, "Sir, you should know what is written on the document and what to say when you return."
The officer only felt that his hand was heavy. Such a big piece of gold … … Even though being an inspection officer at the docks is a lucrative job, but such a big piece of gold is enough to cover one or two years of his income! With great effort, he stuffed the heavy piece of gold into his bosom and placed it close to his body. Then, he quickly smiled and nodded at the Tulip Family's general manager.
In this way, a total of twenty ships of gold, silver and jewelry were recorded in the documents of the imperial capital's police department: Nanyang local products.
As a result, the inspection officer and the recording officer each received an income worth thousands of gold coins. That night, the Tulip Family specially sent a box of "Nanyang local products" to Camisiro's residence.
Of course, Du Wei did not expect this method of concealment to be able to really hide it from everyone. After all, after a long time, the news will spread. However, he needs to let his "windfall" have a legal "immigration procedure".
As for letting others know that he is rich, so what? Who would dare to have ideas about him? Don't forget, in addition to being a powerful Duke, he is also a magician of the mainland civilization!
Sure enough, after a few days, the imperial capital was abuzz with a "news". It is said that the Tulip Family's trading fleet in the Nanyang Sea has dug up a huge gold mine on a small island in the Nanyang Sea … …
With regards to this kind of gossip, Du Wei did not have the heart to care about it. He has been very busy these days. Very busy.
What surprised his personal bodyguards was that the Duke, who has always had no respect for the gods, actually went to the Shrines in the imperial capital for three days in a row!
On the first day, when Du Wei went out and ordered his subordinates to "prepare the Shrines", they almost thought that they heard wrongly. Are you kidding me? Our Lord is a guy who is famous for being disrespectful to the gods, but he actually wants to go to the Shrines?
After arriving at the Shrines, Du Wei directly sent someone to report: The Duke of the Tulip Family wants to see the Pope!
Do you think the Pope is someone you can just meet whenever you want? What's more, the Duke of the Tulip Family is famous for not being respectful to the Shrines. When the Northwest Shrines wanted to set up a Shrines, the Shrines suffered a lot from Du Wei. Therefore, the Duke of the Tulip Family was not friendly to him.
What happened next, these subordinates were completely at a loss.
The Pope actually immediately sent someone to politely invite the Duke of the Tulip Family to enter. Then, Du Wei stayed in the Shrines until it was dark before he came out.
After that, the Duke went to the Shrines for three days in a row, and every day he asked to see His Majesty the Pope. He stayed in the Shrines from morning to night, and no one knew what he was talking about.
Du Wei was usually very kind to his subordinates. A curious and bold bodyguard could not help but ask his boss. Du Wei smiled and said: Your Lord, I, have decided to convert to the glory of the gods. From now on, I will be a devout believer of the gods and become an honest believer.
When these words came out, no one believed it. In their opinion, it was impossible for the Duke to believe in the gods.
On the fourth day, Du Wei did not go out anymore. He locked himself in the study and called Hussain, Rodriguez, and Nicole, the Queen of Medusa, into the study. After that, he ordered that no one was to disturb him. They stayed in the study for an entire day.
At the same time, a strange thing happened in the palace.
The religious leader of the Roland Continent, His Majesty the Pope, who never went out all year round, actually came to the palace in person and asked to meet the Prince Regent for a discussion!
What a joke! A few days ago, because of the disaster relief in the south, the Shrines deliberately embarrassed the Royal Family. The relationship between the two sides was already very tense. Now, why did His Majesty the Pope come to see the Prince Regent? Could it be that he was not satisfied with the verbal battle and wanted to PK in real life?
In less than half a day, the news had spread to all the influential figures in the core circle of the Imperial Capital, especially the important ministers of the Imperial Capital, who had also received the news.
After all, there must be something going on when the real ruler of the Empire and the spiritual leader of the Empire meet. Otherwise, both of them were busy people. Would they have nothing better to do than to meet and chat?
At this time, according to some news from the palace, His Majesty the Pope and the Prince Regent talked in secret for an entire afternoon. When His Majesty the Pope left the palace in the evening, the Prince Regent was obviously a bit tired and strange. No one knew what affected the Prince Regent's mood, but the Prince Regent ended up sleeping in his study that night. One of the concubines thought she was very favored by the Prince Regent and thought she might be the future Empress or something similar. Therefore, it was inevitable for her to be a bit arrogant. Originally, the Prince Regent promised to spend the night at her place, but he stood her up. This woman was probably a bit upset and arrogant, so she personally ran to the Prince Regent's study to act coquettishly.
But what this beauty didn't expect was that the usually gentle and doting Prince Son would fly into a rage that very night! In a fit of rage, the Prince Regent ordered the palace guards to whip this woman dozens of times in front of the palace guards and attendants before throwing her out of the palace!
This time, everyone knew: His Royal Highness is in a bad mood!!
And for the rest of the day, the Prince Regent seemed to be acting very strange. He locked himself in his room and didn't allow anyone to disturb him. Even his most trusted personal guards were frightened by the murderous look on the Prince Regent's face.
In the end … … what happened?
After another day, the Prince Regent seemed to have become more and more manic. His mood was extremely unstable. In the middle of the night, he suddenly ran out of his room barefoot and chased away the attendants and guards that followed him. Then, he ran to the "white tower" in the middle of the palace.
Then, the ruler of the Empire, who was considered the wisest young monarch of the Empire in several generations, tightly frowned, barefoot, and wearing thin clothes, sat on the cold ground under the white tower for the entire night!
Under his strict order, all the guards were not allowed to approach him and stood at a distance.
The Prince Regent sat there all night until dawn. When the sun rose in the morning, the exhausted Prince Son finally calmed down. Standing up, he walked to the white tower and reached out his hand to stroke the white marble wall. Suddenly, he whispered to himself: "Great Majesty Aragon, you spent a thousand years ago to build this white tower and left behind this powerful magic array. Could it be that it was all for today's situation?"
Hmm, yes, it must be.
At that time, the continent was already unified. Under the leadership of the great Majesty Aragon, the Roland Empire's army was invincible. In the continent, there was no existence that could threaten the Empire. Looking at the universe, there was no threat at all. Under such circumstances, Aragon left behind a giant magic array that cost the Empire so much money and manpower.
Could it be the North … …
Recalling the contents of the secret conversation between himself and the Pope, Prince Son's brow furrowed.
If it was just the words of the Pope, then maybe Prince Son wouldn't believe it.
This is normal. How can such a big matter be casually believed? Imagine the Pope of the Vatican suddenly running to see the President of the United States and said: "God spoke to me in a dream. I know that aliens will invade the Earth in three years. Hurry and order the nation to prepare for war." If this was the case, then maybe the Pope would think the Pope was crazy.
At the same time, Prince Son also wouldn't believe such a thing. But after all, the recent flood of demonic beasts that suddenly rushed out of the frozen forest is something that has never happened in the Empire for a thousand years.
Moreover, in addition to the words of the Pope, there is an iron law passed down from generation to generation within the Roland Empire's Royal Family! "No matter the circumstances, the magic array of the Empire must not be neglected!!"
Every generation of Emperor had no choice but to invest new financial resources to repair and perfect this magic array. Even the most muddle-headed Emperor would adhere to this iron law.
More importantly, the legend of the Northern Continent, beyond the frozen forest, there are some exiled races … … This legend is completely unknown to ordinary people on the Roland Continent.
But Prince Son knows! Within the Royal Family, there are naturally the most secret and most precious documents passed down from ancient times. Although it's only vague and vague records, but when put together, one can still come up with a vague guess.
And when the Pope of the Shrines visited, he also brought along some ancient documents that have been preserved in the Shrines for who knows how many years. All of this is a reminder to the young monarch: All of this is real, it's really happening!
In the Northern Continent, there is a group of ferocious enemies that are much more powerful than the grass soldiers and the Northwest Army! And soon, they will head south and kill their way into the Empire!!
"At this moment, I actually hope that the one who succeeded in the coup is Brother." Standing under the morning sun, Prince Son gently stroked the white tower and whispered: "What a heavy burden … …"
And it was also after this morning that the military sent an urgent military report. It was personally written by the Northern Tempest Legion's Commander Rostock.
