Celestial Mage

Chapter 354 The Islands Neglected by the Mainland (13)

After a while, Rosen drove Sky 5000 to an altitude of [-] meters above Beluga City.

It can be seen through the telescope that the city is quite large, with a radius of more than 6 kilometers.

The buildings in the city are not bad, although they are not as clean as Crescent Collar, but they are much better than Silvermoon Fort.

But there is no lord's mansion in this city, and there is no god-given light.

There are several temples, but they all look dilapidated, far less glamorous than other city temples.

He Yajiali introduced carefully.

"This archipelago was only incorporated into the Golden Land 300 years ago. Although my father is the great lord of the Flying Fish Islands, he doesn't like this place very much, so he only sent a governor to manage it."

"Look, the big courtyard in the center of the city is the Governor's Mansion."

Rosen looked through the binoculars and soon saw the so-called Governor's Palace.

The area is quite large, covering an area of ​​about 1 labang. The stone building with blue roof and white walls in the courtyard is also quite tall, but the outer wall is obviously dilapidated, the ground is also obviously dirty, and the corners are overgrown with weeds. It looks depressed and lacks maintenance.

In contrast, there are several mansions in the city that are comparable in size to the Governor's Mansion. The interior of the mansions is clean and beautiful, and it is evident that they have been meticulously maintained.

"The Governor's Palace doesn't seem very respectable."

Heya Jiali also looked puzzled.

"It's really strange. Because the work of the Governor's Office seems to be doing well, and the annual fixed tax payment of 36 crowns has never been in arrears for many years."

Rosen has read the records and knows that the tax payment is not in cash, but in various kinds of objects.

Because it is an archipelago, it is all seafood, such as fresh fish, pearls, corals, sea vegetables and so on.

Among them, the most famous one is the golden pearl, a special product of the archipelago. It is very large, the size of a child's fist, and its color is as bright as gold. It is not only an excellent decoration, but also a precious medicine refining material after being ground into powder.

A gold pearl of ordinary quality can be sold for more than 800 crowns in the northern border. Although Raging Waves City is close to the water, it is definitely not cheap.

Rosen asked again: "Are there nobles on the island?"

Heya Jiali shook her head.

"There are big families that are aristocratic, but none of the Dukes of Storms has acknowledged this in official documents. Therefore, there are no nobles."

Rosen understood a little bit.

"In this way, the Governor's Mansion is just a decoration. Through the tax of 36 kroner, the local tyrants of Beluga City have obtained the autonomy of Beluga City."

In other words, 36 is not a tax, but a tribute.

And such an archipelago with a high degree of autonomy may not easily recognize itself as a great lord descended from the sky.

He counted the number of mansions, there were six.

With a high probability, the six top households in Beluga City are the six. They have divided up the interests of the Flying Fish Islands and are the actual rulers of the Islands.

If he wanted to gain the actual control of Moby Dick City, he had to suppress these six families, otherwise he would become a puppet in name only like the Governor's Mansion, unable to do anything.

So, to what extent should the repression go?

Rosen thought about it carefully and came to a conclusion.

"Look at the opponent's strength."

"If you are strong, discuss it carefully and grind it slowly with Huairou. If you are strong, then you can't blame me!"

I am also very glad that I have made sufficient preparations, otherwise this situation would be really tricky.

Seeing his silence, He Yajiali immediately showed guilt on her face: "Brother, are you disappointed?"

Rosen was startled, turned around and saw Heya Jiali's expression, and immediately laughed: "Disappointed? Why do you say that?"

Heya Jiali was a little sad: "Because this territory is very bad, Jiali has become your drag."

Rosen raised his hand to grab her palm, and said with a smile, "No, no, no, Jiali has never been a drag on me, and this territory is very good, like a bright pearl."

"Currently, the pearl has fallen into the dust and is contaminated with some dust. Just blow the dust away."

"Really?"

"Really."

Rosen raised his hand and touched Heya Jiali's face, and felt that he had to divert the princess's attention from hanging on himself all day.

Otherwise, she would worry about gains and losses all day long, not to mention excessive worry, and she would be too tired to panic.

So I changed the subject: "Do you want to learn to fly a plane?"

He Yajiali was startled: "Ah, can I?"

"The second prince is fine, why not Jiali? Come, let me teach you."

The second prince has a high-level 15-star achievement, and Jiali has a high-level 17-star achievement, which is even better than the prince.

Rosen stood up from the driver's seat, forced Heya Jiali to sit on the driver's seat, then leaned over slightly, and helped her fasten the X-shaped fixing belt.

After fastening the belt, he lifted Jiali's broad chest up, which immediately made the latter's cheeks flush, and made the guard maid on the side turn her head hastily.

Then Rosen began to teach: "You come this way, yes, that's it, that's right, very good, speed up slowly~~~~ How does it feel?"

Heya Jiali's bright eyes glowed: "Interesting~really interesting~"

Rosen waited for her to fly a little more proficiently, and taught her to do a quick roll.

"Ah~~~~"

Heya Jiali screamed in fright, and her movements were a little out of shape, but Rosen always grasped everything and helped her successfully complete this maneuver.

After the plane stabilized and leveled off again, Heya Jiali was not afraid at all, with a hint of excitement in her eyes, she said softly, "Brother~ teach me one more~~"

Rosen was also very happy to see her so focused, so he taught her flying movements such as fast turns, hovering, and giant loops in the air.

For ordinary people on earth, these actions of flying a fighter jet may take a long time to train.

But for high-level seventeen-star mages, proficiency in flying is a necessary ability.

Now it's just changing from flying by yourself to flying with a magic weapon. The absolute difficulty is about the same as mastering an intermediate logic spell.

So, less than an hour later, after flying around Beluga Island seven or eight times, Heya Jiali became quite proficient in flying.

Her white jade cheeks were flushed with excitement, and her eyes were surprisingly bright, obviously she had a great interest in flying.

Rosen smiled: "Interesting, isn't it?"

"Ok!"

"Then you fly first, and when we stabilize, I will also build you a flying magic weapon."

"Thank you bro~"

The voice was delicate, and the ending was raised, which was very provocative. At the end, she turned her head and kissed Luo Sen's lips lightly, which immediately aroused a small flame in Luo Sen's heart.

After finally pressing it down, Rosen started to get down to business.

After slowing down Jiali's flight speed, she pressed the green communication gem, dialed to a separate communication channel, and then entered the voice.

"Anglo~Anglo~ Where are you? Please call back."

It's been almost a month since Angore and his people set off early, and it should be here by the time.

After repeating three times, a response is received.

"Lord, our ship has completed an emergency landing in the Howling Wilderness on the northwest side of the main island of the white whale. It has landed for two days and has repelled two waves of attacks."

"Emergency landing?" Rosen was suddenly worried.

"Yes, the ship crashed into a reef. Although it successfully docked with the help of Mage Anviniya, the ship sank in the end, but all the fighting materials were moved out."

"Fortunately."

Rosen let out a long breath.

Fortunately, the mages were allowed to accompany them, otherwise the 500 elites would definitely suffer heavy casualties, and a large amount of combat supplies would be lost, which would greatly reduce their effectiveness.

And in a wild frontier like Beluga Island, it would be really difficult to do things without any cronies around.

"You wait, I'll be here soon."

Needless to say, Heya Jiali had already turned around and flew all the way to the whistling wilderness on the northwest side of the main island of the white whale.

The diameter of Beluga Island is about 200 kilometers, and at the speed of Sky-10, it arrived at the ground within [-] minutes.

While on the road, he communicated to confirm the other party's location. Soon, Rosen saw a temporary circular camp on a high ground covered with thin-leaved coconut trees by the sea.

The diameter of the camp was 100 meters, and a high wall was built around it using petrification techniques. Many petrification bunkers were set up inside the wall, and a large number of temporary tents were built.

Many fighters can be seen busy inside and outside the camp.

Some are hunting, some are lighting fires, some are maintaining equipment, and some are patrolling.

I also happened to see the apprentice Anviniya.

The other party was sitting on a small stool at the entrance of a tent, holding a thick spell book and reading it seriously.

Rosen said, "Let's land in the open space in front of the camp."

He Yajiali controlled Sky [-] to fall slowly.

When they fell to a height of more than [-] meters, they found some blood on the ground around the camp. What they said before contacting Anglo should be the blood left by the attackers.

I don't know which part of the force it belongs to.

The camp has discovered Sky [-], and quickly cleared a flat open space next to the camp.

After Rosen stopped Sky [-], he opened the hatch and jumped out.

He Yajiali wanted to go out with him, but was stopped by Rosen.

"Don't go out, it's too dirty outside, if you step on the mud, there will be many bugs."

"I'll go find out what's going on."

The main reason is that Jiali is too beautiful to be seen by a group of vigorous young people on this occasion, and it is easy to cause some inexplicable incidents.

After getting off the plane, Anglo, Anvinia, and Laydia quickly walked up to her.

Rosen stood by the side of the plane without going far, and distributed some random snacks.

Such as dried smoked whitebait, candied fruit, pine nuts and the like.

After sending a circle, I asked.

"Everyone has worked hard, are there any casualties, brothers?"

Anvinia and Lydia were busy eating delicious snacks and did not speak.

Anglo bit off half of the dried smoked fish in one bite and shook his head.

"No, it's just wasting a lot of rune bullets, and there are only less than [-] ammunition left."

"Who was the attacker?"

"Pirates. Pirates colluding with ordinary people and sea murlocs. There is a large camp nearby, with more than 3000 people."

"They saw that we were few people, so they wanted to take advantage of it. After two beatings and more than 400 people were killed, they never came again."

Rosen asked again: "Have you seen a master?"

A trace of worry suddenly appeared on Anglo's face.

"Although I didn't see it, the few captives we captured said that they were loyal to the Cavidi family. They also threatened that the terrible archmage would come to trouble us soon."

Rosen was quite speechless, raised his hand and patted the cabin, and asked, "Madam, will the Archmage also be a pirate?"

What's the difference between this and the prince's farming?
He Yajiali was also cracking pine nuts in the cabin, and said, "There should be."

"Because Beluga Island is on the edge of the Golden Land and no one cares about it, many wanted criminals like to escape here."

"Over the past few years, there have been many criminal archmages in the Eastern Territory, both civilians and nobles. There are also many who have gone to Beluga Island, but they are basically low-level archmages, such as the first and second ranks. No more than level 4."

"In addition, there must be archmages on the island, and being a pirate should be a tradition in the archipelago."

"understood."

Rosen looked at the sky, and it was only after 10:[-] in the morning. He said, "One hour for lunch, and then set off for Moby Whale City."

His first goal now is to take over Beluga City and stabilize the rear, not to destroy the pirates.

Dealing with pirates is for another day.

After that, the camp soldiers prepared lunch, and Anvinia and Lydia were invited to enter the cabin.

When the two women saw He Yajiali, they were all stunned, and then Lydia immediately saluted: "Madam is well."

After careful identification, Anviniya asked in surprise, "Your Highness?"

He Yajiali was startled: "Have you seen me?"

Anviniya immediately explained: "I am from Baisha City, and I have seen the portrait of His Highness."

"Oh~ that's what it is."

Lydia on the side was startled: "Your Highness, are you Princess Morningstar?"

Hejali laughed softly: "No, I am not Princess Morningstar now, I am the wife of the Earl of the Islands."

Seeing that Lydia was puzzled, Rosen explained: "Carrie is my wife in the east, and she is now the countess."

"."

The two women looked at each other, surprised by Rosen's sophistry, and surprised by Rosen's methods.

The dignified Princess Morning Star, the supreme flower of the Eastern Realm, is willing to condescend to share her husband with other women. It can only be said that the Golden Baron Rosen is amazingly powerful.

Rosen didn't explain much, and took out some simple delicacies from the cargo hold: "Fill your stomach first, and then go to Moby Whale City."

"Yes, lord."

"Yes, teacher."

A few people ate happily in the cabin.

When everyone finished their lunch and was about to set off, the light curtain on the detection glass of Sky-[-] suddenly vibrated rapidly, and a 'beep beep beep' alarm sounded.

Rosen glanced at him and said with a smile, "There really is an archmage coming."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Jia Li, turn on the covert mode of the blue sky, take someone to fly high in the sky and wait for me, leave it to me here."

He Yajiali immediately said: "Anna, you protect brother."

Leliana suddenly looked embarrassed.

Rosen immediately said: "Don't! Anna's first duty is to protect your safety!"

After speaking, he comforted me: "Don't worry, Jiali, I'm fully prepared. If it really doesn't work, you can support me with machine guns from the sky."

While speaking, Rosen had already brought all the auxiliary spellcasting devices.

He Yajiali saw that there were a lot of magic weapons on Luo Sen's body, so she was relieved: "Then brother, be careful."

Rosen nodded, jumped out of the cabin, and flew towards the distant camp.

"Angelu, there is an enemy attack, urgent alert, ready to fight!"

Anglo has also discovered it, because the camp also has three highly sensitive mana fluctuation detectors.

And this thing is particularly easy to use, not only can report mana fluctuations close to ten lami, but also can detect both warrior combat skills and mage spells, and finally, it can accurately detect the direction of the attack.

There were attacks in the past two days, and the scale of the attacks was not small, but every time it was able to achieve zero casualties, one was the powerful weapons, and the other was the early warning of this good thing.
