Chapter 432 Ark Harbor

The flow of sea water became a little turbulent, and Lily stared at Allen angrily with a sullen face. In the years since she was born, no one has dared to talk to this human in front of her like this. Lily tried to recall that this way of speaking seemed to be called a reprimand. A human actually reprimanded the princess of the Naga clan!

There is nothing more infuriating than this.

Responding to Lily's anger, the waves quietly intensified, and even formed a small vortex under Lily's body. The vortex first rotated clockwise, and then reversed after a while. As a result, a water column rose from the surface of the sea, and the princess of Naga rose from the sea. She was short, only about the height of a twelve or thirteen-year-old human girl, but with the help of the rising water column, she looked down at Allen.

It's just that the young face makes it hard to feel the majesty of the superior, even though Lily is trying her best to show this. After she believed that she had created the majesty of the princess, she said: "Am I wrong? You humans are all disgusting creatures, you always? No? Wrong? Covet things from other families. Aggression, plunder , You are barbaric and cruel, and you don’t hesitate to infringe the interests of others for your own selfish desires. I don’t think I’m wrong about such an ugly life.”

Allen shook his head and said: "I don't deny that there are such people among human beings. But after all, this is only a part of people, and cannot represent all human beings. As far as I know, there are some people who are brave and strong. In order to protect their own Compatriots, they are willing to sacrifice themselves and stand on the front line against foreign enemies! They are warriors and heroes, and their brilliance is enough to illuminate the dark side of mankind."

"Everything always has two sides. For example, there is day and night at the same time. Day and night alternate, this is the law of nature. Again, His Highness, His Highness may not be completely correct. Let alone the day, your pet will be half the size An island was crushed. I would like to ask Your Highness, are the innocent people on this island who captured your people? They don’t even know what happened!"

"This..." Lili's small face was a little flustered, like a child who was caught doing something wrong, his eyes rolled around, and he was about to find an excuse to prevaricate.

Allen spread his hands and said: "So you see, in our life, we may not necessarily do all the right things. There is only one thing, since we have made a decision and put it into action. Whether it is right or wrong, we need to do it for ourselves. responsible."

"I……"

"Ah, I'm going back! Anyway, let's not meet again!" Lily stepped on the water column angrily, turned around and jumped into the sea. In the blink of an eye, it has disappeared into the dark sea.

Allen looked at the sea and shook his head, when someone called him from the beach, he put away his fishing rod and walked over.

Lily continued to swim to the depths of the seabed, and after a while, a shadow emerged from the water,

Put her on it. That was the Kraken that attacked the island in the morning. Its wounds have been treated, and although its vitality has not recovered, it can move freely. It carried Lily to the underwater palace, and Lily sat cross-legged on its big head, patted the sea monster and whispered: "Mammon, what he said seems to have a little truth..."

The sea monster opened its mouth, uttered a low cry, and walked away.

At dawn, Paradise set sail. The sailboat sailed away from Pearl Harbor and continued the final journey. This time it went smoothly. After a week of sailing at sea, the Paradise arrived at the Ark Harbor. When entering the harbor, Allen could see from a distance on the boat that the cliff facing the sea was hollowed out, and a z-shaped avenue opened out of the hollow mountainside, which could reach the top of the mountain.

The natural stone pillars are arranged at intervals, forming a unique landscape of Ark Port, the Jingtao Corridor.

Ark Port is a special port, unlike Violet Port which directly faces the strait. The entire port city is actually located on the top of the mountain, and the wharf is located in the mountainside of the excavated mountain. When the Paradise entered one of the mountainside wharfs, Allen unexpectedly discovered that it was not dark at all. There are large and small gaps above the mountainside, and sunlight casts through these gaps, forming beams of light that illuminate the entire pier.

What's more, there are street lights on the pier, and these street lights use real electric energy to emit light. Even at night, just the street lamps on the pier are enough for lighting. The parkman stopped at one of the berths, the sailors lowered the decks, and the guards began escorting the slaves off the ship. Allen and others disembarked with Roger through another dedicated deck and came to the pier, where they could see several merchant ships loading and unloading cargo nearby. The carriages dragged people and goods out of the pier, followed the dedicated channel into the Jingtao Corridor, and then headed for the city on the top of the mountain.

"This is really a wonderful city." Allen said sincerely.

Roger laughed and said: "I also had this idea when I first came here. I actually dug out the pier and corridors in the mountainside. I have to admire the ancestors of Count Aubain for having such perseverance and ideas."

Oban Ridley is the owner of Ark Harbor and a vast territory around it. There are also several barons and viscounts under the earl's command. The earl's family is one of the famous families in the empire. The history of the family can be traced back hundreds of years, and it can be called a long family history. At the same time, the Ridley family is also the founder of Arkport. When the family first came to Arkport, it was just a small village.

After being managed by the Ridley family, it gradually changed from a village to a town, and finally became the port city that is now famous in the empire.

After passing the Jingtao Corridor in a carriage and reaching the top of the mountain, a beautiful city can be seen vividly. Clean streets, lush green trees, graceful stone corridors, sculptures, squares, and fountains are scattered in every angle of the city. Although the city was formed after continuous expansion, it has done enough planning. The difference between the old and the new can only be judged from the appearance of the building, but the city itself is integrated, like a huge work of art.

The shipyards are the most numerous in the city. They are located on the edge of the city and even form a distinctive street. On this street named Ark Street, there was an endless stream of business travelers, and many businessmen from other places even came here in secret, appointing a certain factory to order sailboats for their own caravans.

When the carriage passed the central square of the city, Allen saw a special sculpture. It was a sculpture of a ship's bow. Although it was carved out of stone, the texture of the wood was finely engraved on the stone. Unless the stone is dominated by natural gray tones, people will just mistake it for parts unloaded from a sailing ship.

At the bottom of the bow sculpture is engraved a name, Olor Redley, the ancestor of Count Aubain and the man who built the first sailing ship in this city.

The carriage finally came to an ancient castle. The outer walls of this castle were all made of natural white rock, and it had a name that matched its appearance, White Castle. White Castle is the origin of the Ridley family. After passing the ancient arches of the castle, the carriage stopped on a cobbled square. Roger took Allen out of the car, and someone guided the carriage away.

A middle-aged man with the appearance of a housekeeper trotted over, shook hands with Roger cordially, and said, "It's been a long time, husband Roger. This time, I will also trouble you to bring the slaves that the Earl needs personally."

"You are still in good spirits, Steward Mace. I have already made an appointment with the Earl. I wonder if he is free now?"

"Yes, Lord Earl heard that you are coming, and is waiting for you in the study." Butler Mace pretended to be mysterious: "If there is no accident, there is still a big business waiting for Roger's husband."

Then he looked at Allen and said, "Who is this?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce. This is Baron Allen, he is my partner. Come with me this time to pay homage to the Marquis." Roger laughed.

"The Baron?" Metz looked at Allen unexpectedly and said, "You are so unexpectedly young."

Allen smiled slightly, Roger had already informed him earlier. Now, taking the opportunity of shaking hands, he put a small bag of gold coins into the butler's pocket: "I also ask Butler Metz to recommend it for me."

Metz laughed dryly: "The baron is also surprisingly generous, you two come with me."

Although the castle has gone through a long period of time, the interior is surprisingly not gloomy, thanks to the consideration of lighting at the beginning of construction. This requires the designer to carefully consider the orientation of the castle, the distribution of doors and windows, etc., and what Allen sees now are long but bright corridors and spacious interior spaces.

Walking in the castle, you can see well-maintained oil paintings, well-polished armor and potted plants everywhere. It can be imagined that when it comes to maintaining the daily cleaning work of this ancient castle, it is a huge project. But after so many years, there is no trace of dilapidation in the castle, which shows how much effort the earl's family has put into the castle.

Soon he came to the earl's study room, and after the butler Metz gave a report, Roger led Allen in. The study was very quiet, and there was a faint fragrance in the air. It doesn't smell like flowers, but it smells like some kind of fragrant wood.

A man reading a book, bathed in bright sunlight by a window, is Comte Aubain. The earl, who has entered middle age, looks surprisingly young. Perhaps because of proper maintenance, that fair and beardless face looks like it is only thirty years old at most. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his head, and behind a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose were a pair of blue eyes.

His eyes first fell on Alan, then moved to Roger's face, and then smiled: "Welcome to Ark Harbor. The journey has been hard, husband Roger. And... Sir Alan?"
