Chapter 1139 Arriving at Tiger Shark Harbor
At dusk, faint drumming sounded from the direction of the castle, heralding the beginning of the second carnival night. As long as the slightly high-ranking people in Tiger Shark Harbor received Birgan's invitation, these adults scolded the new lord for all kinds of prodigal activities, but on the other hand, they attended the castle dinner on time in neat clothes. If there were more banquets like this, they would enjoy it.
Even the common people get a lot of benefits. For example, tonight, long tables will be placed on the square in front of the castle and the avenue leading to the city, covered with the food they have taken. Of course, the civilians were basically provided with drinks such as ordinary bread and milk, but they also attracted many citizens. This is a grand event that the lord and the people are completely carnival, and no one wants to miss it. Therefore, the city streets have become much more empty than usual before the sun goes down.
As for the Twilight Fort, it was brightly lit and extremely lively.
"Unlucky, I also want to go to the banquet." At the city gate, a soldier leaned against the wall holding a musket, looked in the direction of Fort Twilight and sighed: "Maybe I can meet some beautiful lady and stage a romantic love What about the story?"
"I think you've drunk too much, Simba. With your shabby appearance, if any young lady really takes a fancy to her, she must be blind." The colleague on duty laughed mercilessly.
The soldier named Simba blushed and cursed: "That's better than you, you boy can only go to the cheapest street prostitute to vent your anger."
"Hey, it sounds like a lady is so noble. Believe me, those women are just high-class prostitutes. Why are you so angry, if I broke your innocent dream, I apologize?" He looked serious, but the smile in his eyes betrayed him.
Someone on the tower shouted: "Shut up, both of you! Look, someone is coming up ahead. Stop it and ask me about it. Most importantly, they have to pay me full customs duties!"
"Yes, Captain Hamm." The two soldiers said in unison, then straightened their helmets, raised their muskets and stepped forward.
There were quite a number of teams coming from the front, the first being a few knights on horseback. The man in charge was very young, his silver gray hair reflected a dazzling halo in the afterglow of the setting sun, the robe on his body was noble and generous, and even the horse that got off looked very handsome. Looking at the young man, Simba whispered, "I bet it's an aristocrat. Damn, I hate aristocrats, especially those who are more handsome than me."
The colleague laughed.
Behind a few knights are carriages, and on both sides and rear of the carriages are guards of more than a hundred people. Some of the guards wearing cloaks were tall and had neat steps. Just seeing their walking posture made the heartbeats of the two guards jump. From those mysterious guards, there is a strange sense of oppression. If it was normal, they would rather stay away from such a team, but now they can only bite the bullet and move forward.
"Stop!" Simba shouted, but found that the cry was much louder than usual, it sounded like a rooster crowing, and it was indescribably embarrassing.
But the team stopped.
"Who are you, please show your identity documents." Another guard boldly said.
The aristocratic young man was unmoved, and a handsome and steady man jumped off a horse next to him. He was modest and courteous, took off his hat, put it on his chest and bowed his head: "Good evening, gentlemen. We are friends of Mr. Taylor, and this time we are here to discuss cooperation matters at his invitation. Oh, this is our ID card. "
Hearing that this team was Taylor's friend, the guard's face was a little nervous. Now who doesn't know that Taylor is an important person in Tiger Shark Port, a celebrity and financial backer next to the new lord. Not to mention them, even the big shots in the city bowed their heads and nodded when they saw him. Since these people are Taylor's friends, there is no problem with their identities. The guards quickly checked the identity documents provided by the other party, and let them enter the city without even confiscating customs duties. to see
Of course, they would not know that most of the information on the identity document was true, but the name was false. That's a forged text, it's just that the soldiers didn't think of this layer.
Riding on the horse, Allen looked at the streets of Tiger Shark Port, which was his first visit to this port city. The deepest impression on Tiger Shark Port was the ubiquitous fishy smell in the air. Edward, who rode his horse and walked beside him, said: "This big businessman Taylor is actually from the Naga tribe. At that time, Belmore Taylor also saved him when he came to Tiger Shark Harbor. Later, Taylor went to Fort Dawn to visit you, but unfortunately, you happened to go to Earth at that time."
"Really? Then we have to thank him later. He provided the merchant ship we went to Ark Port this time." Allen said casually.
Taylor's house is still the No. 7 mansion on Jinfan Avenue. In addition, he also bought an adjacent house. After opening it, the area is considerable. Since most people attended the banquet in Twilight Fort today, Jinfan Avenue was extremely quiet. When the team entered the long street, the sound of horseshoes and voices immediately broke the tranquility of the long street. Under the orange light, Taylor, who had already received the news, greeted him personally at the gate of the mansion.
Coming to the gate of the house, Alan got off his horse. Taylor smiled and bowed: "The last time I met you, you have already been promoted to earl. This is the first time I have seen you, my lord." Really young and promising."
Allen shook his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Taylor, don't forget that our new king has taken my title long ago."
Taylor himself is the agent of the Naga tribe on the surface, so naturally he is completely on Julian's side. Hearing it now, he snorted and said: "As long as you are not blind, you can see that Howson's successor is very tricky. What kind of king is he? Now everyone calls him a false king behind his back. How can the false king say anything?" It counts. When someone comes to restore the emperor's lineage, I think my lord will not only restore the title, but also upgrade to another level."
He pointed upwards.
Allen thought to himself that this person is eloquent, and he can hold people without any traces. This flattery sounds comfortable. Then the carriage opened and Julian stepped down. Seeing the second prince, Taylor tidied up his clothes, half knelt down and respectfully said, "Your Highness has had a hard journey."
On the way here, Julian had heard Linglin mention Taylor, knew his relationship with the Naga clan, and was also one of his allies and sponsors. Of course, he would not put on airs at such a time. He immediately helped the big businessman in Tiger Shark Port, and said sincerely: "If he can return to the imperial capital in the future, Julian will never forget Mr. Taylor's help."
Taylor's heart was shocked, Julian's words were more powerful than any guarantee. He didn't pretend, stood up and said with a smile: "Your Highness is the orthodox royal family. I believe this day will come soon."
Julian laughed and patted Tyler on the shoulder in affection. Alan next to him saw it in his eyes, and sighed in his heart, the second prince's method of buying people's hearts is getting better and better. Perhaps as Tanglio said, Julian is not the kind of strongman who governs the country by force, but his kindness can also win people's support. Especially in peacetime, a good-natured king is always better than those warlike emperors.
At least for the people it does.
Taylor welcomed Julian, Allen and others into the lobby of the main building. Dinner was already prepared in the lobby. As for the other soldiers and blacksmiths in the team, Taylor had other arrangements. Anyway, his house here is deep and vast, and there are a hundred or ten people hiding there, and they can't see it at all.
The dinner is very sumptuous and mainly seafood, which is also the characteristic of Tiger Shark Harbor.
Even though he is a prince, he is located in the northern border of Oliska, so there are not many seafood that can be eaten on weekdays. At this time, seeing a table full of seafood, even Julian was a little overwhelmed. He was invited by Taylor to take the main seat, and the others sat separately. On the left is Julian's mother, on the right is Naibert. Allen is next to the phase, while Taylor, the master, sits next to the princess. Don't look at the simple arrangement of seats, but it is quite elegant to arrange who sits in which position. It can be seen that Taylor attaches great importance to this opportunity to receive Julian, otherwise how could it be so solemn.
When everyone is seated, dishes are continuously presented along the back kitchen, as if the food is endless. Taylor took the trouble to introduce every dish presented to Julian. There was an endless stream of whitefish, snails, crabs, shellfish, herring, cod, lobster and other seafood. Every dish is carefully prepared, with all the flavors and tastes. In addition to seafood, Taylor also carefully prepared grilled chicken, lamb chops, beef and other common foods in the Northland, in case Julian or others were not used to seafood and had no food to eat.
It was not until Julian had left Olisga that he had a real good dinner. He enjoyed the meal very much. Finally, after drinking several glasses of iced plum wine, he was finally overwhelmed with alcohol, so Taylor ordered someone to help the prince down to rest.
After dinner, Taylor received Alan, Naibert and Thorin in his room. After the big fish and meat just now, Taylor prepared tea for a few people to relieve their greasy. After Alan and the others drank a few sips of tea, he began to say: "From the time I received the news from the Boleyn family, I have made it for today. I am fully prepared. Two days later, three merchant ships bound for Ark Port will set off. These three ships have real goods on board, and they do have transactions with Ark Port, but originally only two merchant ships are needed. Yes. I did some tricks to break up the goods, thus causing the outside world to need three ships to load the goods."
"At that time, the extra space will naturally be reserved for everyone. Just please be sure to let His Highness feel wronged for a day or two. When the ship sails to the waters of Santa Terina, His Highness can move freely."
"Mr. Taylor is very considerate. Instead of feeling wronged, Your Highness will appreciate your arrangement." Naibert laughed.
Taylor waved his hand and said, "I don't have any skills at this point, Mr. Nabot is joking."
Then he said to Alan again: "After Eric died, I arrived at Tiger Shark Port. I was lucky enough to use some means, and now I can basically control the new lord. Lord Alan, before you come, I I just got the financial account book of Tiger Shark Port. There is an expenditure in it, and it really has something to do with General Arkham."
