This had nothing to do with how much wealth he had amassed in the underworld.
This wasn't about how much wealth he had. Furthermore, the wealth and prosperity of the Nine Phoenixes was not something he could compare to.
Very few people knew that the Swift Plains, Green Jade Hills, and Rosaleen's paradise in the hearts of the people was actually a country with strict rules and laws set by a few hidden families.
Mr. Liu nodded at him. "Do your best to help Mr. Brando. I understand what you mean, and I will find a way to get you on board."
Na Xin did not expect to receive such a promise, and her eyes shone brightly, as if she was brimming with boundless energy. She cupped her hands towards Brendel and Mr. Liu and said: "Then please leave it to me. As long as Mr. Brendel's friends or pets appear in Rosaleen, I will find a way to obtain news of them."
Brando suddenly felt that it might not be a good thing to make Lady White Fog his pet, but he couldn't say that she was also his friend. In fact, he didn't want too much information about the Dark Dragon's identity and the Witch Empress to leak out. Although the possibility of that happening in the Nine Phoenixes was small, it was better to be safe than sorry.
He thought for a moment and called out to Na Xin. "Wait, my pets might be just pets, but they have bad tempers. Don't treat them as cats or foxes. You better address them as ladies. Otherwise, I can't guarantee your safety."
Na Xin felt a little strange, but he heard that some overlords in the Swift Plains valued their hunting eagles and hounds more than their own sons. Hence, he didn't think much of it and only thought that it was a quirk of the rich. He nodded to indicate that he would remember it.
Mr. Liu sat on his horse and watched the man leave. He then turned to Brando and said, "Mr. Brando, you don't understand, right?"
Brando nodded. He didn't really understand. He thought that smugglers and desperadoes cared about nothing more than wealth. Although these people would easily throw away the gold, silver, and jewelry they earned by gambling their lives to casinos or their lovers, it was precisely because of this that these people, who felt that they didn't have enough money to spend, would always show greedy eyes in the face of wealth.
He didn't understand why Xin was so eager to return to the Nine Phoenixes. It seemed that his desire surpassed his greed for wealth.
Most importantly, how did Mr. Liu, who was beside him, see through this?
However, Mister Liu smiled and replied somewhat proudly, "There are no fugitives who don't want to return to Nine Phoenix. If Mister Brando can visit Nine Phoenix one day, perhaps he will understand this point."
Brando could only nod in agreement. He had never been to the Nine Phoenixes, so he naturally did not know what that mysterious kingdom was like.
In retrospect, it seemed that Erouine was also tight-lipped about her homeland in The Amber Sword. Very few Erouine players got detailed information about the Nine-headed Phoenix from her.
At this time, Huang Huo, who hadn't shown up for a long time, suddenly lifted the curtain of the carriage. She gently knocked on the window to attract the attention of Brando and Mr. Liu.
"Mr. Liu, Mr. Brando, are we going to the port next?"
Mr. Liu looked at Brando. Before this, he had secretly told this lady Brando's decision, so Huang Huo already knew that Brando was with them at this time.
However, he shook his head, "No need to rush. Didn't you say that there are many empty rooms in the Storm Shadow? We will go there."
"But won't we fall into the trap of the Ghost Chariot?"
"It's useless for us to go to the port. Miss Huang Huo, you didn't notice that the outskirts of Rosaleen are almost empty. This means that after the attack of the monsters here, Lord Rosaleen has made preparations. He wants to evacuate most of his people from here, so he needs a large number of ships. So even if there is no Ghost Chariot, he may have already detained all the ships in the port. "He shook his head and replied.
Of course, if there was no Ghost Chariot behind Lord Rosaleen, Huang Huo and Mr. Liu might still be able to get their ships back if they revealed their royal identities. However, it was obviously impossible now.
This was also the reason why he did not seem to be too anxious. Sailors were needed to go out to sea. No matter how powerful he and Mr. Liu were, they could not make an entire ship move out of nowhere.
Huang Huo nodded as if she understood something. It was not that she did not realize these problems, but she was focused on her own training and left these problems to Mr. Liu.
"Can't we go to other inns? The trading fleet from Swift Plains should have just left Rosaleen less than a month ago. The inns here should not be too crowded," she asked again.
"Don't bother about the Ghost Chariot. They are not worth mentioning. We just need to do our own things. The most important thing now is to find a way to contact the sailors on your ship and find out if they are detained on the ship or somewhere else, "Brando answered nonchalantly. It was obvious that he did not take the Ghost Chariot's threat seriously.
This domineering answer made Huang Huo's heart surge. Brando's display of strength when he killed the monster was enough to make a footnote to his words. In her young heart that was focused on training, the legendary peerless swordsman should be like this.
As the inheritor of the Jade Phoenix Mage, the person she respected the most in her heart was her sister, the genius of the Jade Phoenix clan who had been missing for a long time. She could not help but think that if Sister Huang Yu was still around, with her strength, she would also be so heroic.
The little girl sighed in her heart. She could not help but look at Brando carefully with her clear eyes before lowering the curtain again.
…
After Kasav left the vicinity of the city gate, his expression immediately changed and became serious. He called for a few of his subordinates who were preparing to sell the black crystal he had just obtained. He brought these unwilling fellows with him and rode on the wingless dragon, heading straight for the Rosaleen family's castle outside of Rosaleen City.
He ignored the complaints of his subordinates and went out of the city with ease. He followed the small path by the coastal forest and saw the lonely castle standing on the edge of the promontory in the distance. He rushed over the drawbridge and knocked on the castle gate with his sheathed longsword.
The curses of the walking Knight on duty at the top of the castle could be heard, and then the castle gate slowly opened. He did not even look at the guy who was cursing as he walked down the stairs. He barged his way to the inner courtyard of the castle and dismounted from his horse. He pushed open the door of the castle hall and gave the guards who were gathered to gamble a fright.
The subordinates that Kasav brought along could not help but look at each other, thinking that their boss had gone crazy. Could it be that he had been frightened by the attack of the monsters two nights ago and lost his mind? Only then did they remember that the captain of the Knight seemed a little abnormal since this morning.
The guards who were gathered to gamble thought that the captain of the Knight was about to mutiny. They were so frightened that they stood up and scrambled to find their weapons.
However, a tall and thin middle-aged man in the hall stopped them. He looked up at Kasav and said, "Kasav, what are you doing?"
Kasav unfastened the belt of his helmet and took off the metal mask with his head covered in sweat. He casually threw it on the long table and said, "Lord Boban, I might have discovered something."
The tall and thin middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and looked at him. "What, are the monsters gathering outside Rosaleen City again?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the knights beside Kasaff. However, these knights had blank looks on their faces. It was clear that they had no answer to his question.
"No, it has nothing to do with that. Do you remember the group of Nine Phoenix people who came to find our Lord that day?"
The middle-aged man's expression froze. "What, you mean those people from Ghost Chariot?"
"Yes," Kasav replied. "After that, the Lord told us to pay attention to the outsiders in Rosaleen, especially those from the Nine Phoenix …"
He paused for a moment.
"I think I've found the main person."
"The main person?" The middle-aged man also became serious. "Describe the situation to me."
Kasav wiped his sweat and then recounted his encounter with Brando's group at the Qiusangze River from beginning to end. He especially described the characteristics and reactions of Mister Liu and Phoenix Fire in detail.
At this time, the Knight accompanying him finally understood what had happened and could not help but reveal a surprised and happy expression. Ever since the Lord had gotten close to Ghost Chariot, he had been very concerned about this matter and had offered a high reward for those two people.
Moreover, they knew that if Rosaleen wanted to return to the Swift Plains, he would have to rely on Ghost Chariot's power. Otherwise, no one could say for sure what would happen to them once they returned to the Swift Plains.
Although people rarely mentioned it in the past few decades, the descendants of the Knight who had followed the previous Lord of the Rosaleen family knew in their hearts why they had to cross the Taowu Strait to this barren place.
These Knight finally realized how 'wise and mighty' their captain was and could not help but nod in agreement.
In fact, this was the reason Kasav had brought them here. Although these idiots under him could not be of much use, they could at least prove his words. Otherwise, Mr. Boban might have asked him to return to Storm Shadow to investigate.
He was subconsciously afraid of that young man and did not want to face him alone if it was not necessary.
Indeed, after listening to these people's statements, the captain of Rosaleen's guards finally nodded. He looked at Kasav and called out his name.
"Kasav."
Kasav was secretly delighted. He understood that he was being brought to see the Lord. In recent years, due to his old age, the old Rosaleen Overlord rarely showed himself outside. If he could leave a good impression on Rosaleen, he might be able to advance his position.
He immediately stood up straight and heard Boban continue, "His Lordship is accompanying Miss Delphine. Miss Delphine's body hasn't fully recovered, so it's not suitable for her to see too many people, so there's no need for the others to come. Just follow me."
