I have a shelter
Chapter 267: Water City. Shocking Secret Talk (5K)
The barracks were all ready, and the black pearls stood in front of the lords in bright clothes. At this point, in the dilated pupils of the lords, the center of this team had completely changed.
After politely declining the bowl of strange-tasting medicine handed over by Wallace, George followed Count Fernando and began to walk towards the castle with everyone else.
After leaving the barracks, the first thing George saw was not the road, but a river. Count Fernando had already arranged several gorgeous flower boats here. The women on them were all dressed up as prostitutes, not as prostitutes, but as many ladies and young ladies.
After seeing George and others, they greeted them enthusiastically.
"Haha, my lords, hurry up and get on the boat. The young ladies have been waiting for you in the city for many days. After hearing the news, they all came here - it's a coincidence that we will go to the castle for dinner together." Fernando smiled enthusiastically. Obviously, these socialites were specially arranged by him.
George found that many lords and knights actually knew these ladies. After seeing them on board, a very pure and lovely girl even hugged Robert and cried. However, when this guy looked at George, his face was a little embarrassed.
Yudlan and Baron Shock also had old lovers on the ship, and as far as George knew, these two guys had wives and children. Obviously, these ladies and girls were lovers he met when he came to Bishui City last time.
There are not many priests who have come to Bishui City, but there are many nobles and knights. Fernando can remember the pairings of these people. This skill is definitely not something that can be practiced in a few years!
Of course, there are also many beautiful and lovely girls on these ships, who are new faces. Most of them are concentrated on one ship.
After making a blessing gesture of "God of Love", Wallace and other priests nodded with a smile and George, and then all boarded the ship under the welcome of the ladies. Finally, when there was a ship left without a lord. Fernando directly hugged George's waist and enthusiastically arranged the Black Pearls on the boat.
At this moment, George suddenly realized that all this was Fernando's clever arrangement.
But I don't know whether the Duke asked him to come after discussing with him. Or the king sent an opportunity to keep the Duke busy and then come by himself
But in any case, facing this group of Black Pearls who are warm with the Eldar people, Fernando must have something to talk about!
After sitting on the boat house, everyone felt a fragrance in their faces. Looking at these Black Pearls who were still a little dazed, the girls all laughed.
After Aji got on the boat, he saw George's signaling eyes, and then glanced at Count Fernando beside him-the two seemed to be talking about the topic of the Battle of Hongzhuang, and the Count mentioned the word "Your Majesty" many times.
Then, this clever kid directly untied the big bag around his waist and put it beside him. After sitting down, the spoils that were prepared to be presented to the upper body showed half of the huge horns from the bag.
Looking at the huge horns, there was a cry of surprise in the boat, and Fernando, who was sitting next to George, took a breath of cold air.
Then, without waiting for others to react, the boy hugged a tall noble lady directly, hugged her on his legs, and laughed at her.
The noble lady was slightly startled at first, and then she sat on his thigh with a smile. While chatting with this very cute hero who should also be very brave, he secretly pinched his thigh a few times.
The boat started to move, and the knights began to brag. Amid the laughter and joy around him, the earl began to think more than talk when talking to George.
Looking at the king faction and the war faction in front of him. George followed his topic and came to the bow with him, listening to the earl introducing the city to him.
He knew that these boats must be cleverly arranged by the earl. But he didn't ask why the earl did so.
The city on the water is worthy of its name. There are not many avenues in this city, most of which are composed of winding rivers. Many small boats travel on the rivers, and when they lean against the side, they are a building or a bustling store.
The haze that shrouded the city of clear water is no longer there. Gold and treasures continue to flow into the city from the northeast, and people and materials continue to come from the south. Many buildings that were originally abandoned have been filled with people in the past few months. People are surging on both sides of the river, and there are shops and gold-consuming caves everywhere.
Many stores have been renovated. There are several slums in the city that were originally slums, and some nobles have even bought them and built apartments or houses.
When the boats were sailing on the river, every time they turned a small corner, they could see the prostitutes above their heads, constantly lifting their skirts and waving their handkerchiefs, and greeting everyone in laughter.
On the roadsides on both sides of the river, there were people coming out of taverns who were drunk.
The outsiders kept talking about war, victory, women and treasure. The things that the residents and merchants talked about were mostly about what business to do, where to buy a house, or how to get the money from those who returned with a lot of goods.
"Now in the various rivers of this clear water city, what flows is not clear water, but fine wine and gold." Fernando looked at George, who was standing with him on the bow of the boat, and laughed: "The fine wine of Black Pearl It’s the most mellow, but I haven’t tasted it for many years. It wasn’t until Gale sent me a few barrels last time that I remembered its taste.”
Even though he was prepared, George's ears twitched slightly at this moment.
He slowly turned his head calmly and saw the smiling face that Count Fernando showed to him: "That guy is in the business now, but he is booming, and the business in his hands is going straight to my old boss. But If you want to start a wine business, the largest wine shops in Bishui City are all my property."
At this moment, George's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly. His mind was racing rapidly.
George's face changed, but Fernando had only heard of this man before and didn't know what he looked like. I feel confident that I can bring these words up here.
It seemed that he felt that the only person in the Valley who could calm down Elizabeth, Robert, and Wallace was George William Austen.
Looking at Fernando's smiling face, George knew that there was no point in pretending anymore.
But if there is a showdown, things may get serious.
I'm afraid this fraud gang will be hunted down to the end.
Gale didn't know much, but he didn't know much.
And although he, like most of the people of Sanctuary, knew the Seven Gods, not the Light of Dawn. But he knew that the Countess was not clean, and he also knew that there was a Baron George William Austin in the valley who claimed to be a bishop.
How much will he reveal to his superiors about this extremely important client?
And what plans does this important minister of the kingdom have in mind at this time?
No matter what, Fernando was able to arrange all this here today and opened his mouth to himself. It all means there are some surprises in the plan.
This person is not only a confidant of His Majesty Philips, but also has a great say in the Duke's ears.
And in a short while, he will meet the most powerful person in the entire Blue Water City-State and the most important person to the Sanctuary.
Thinking for only a moment, in Fernando's eyes, George was just surprised, and then smiled slightly.
"Thank you to the God of Sanctuary. It seems that I can bring more wine to the transport team in Leiden." While praising the God of Sanctuary, George made a standard gesture of the Seven Gods, which represented that under the Seven Gods Beliefs tend to be 'honor and victory'.
After seeing this move, Fernando made the same gestures as most believers did when they met him. He also made gestures amidst the praise, but what he represented was to pray for 'prosperity'.
After the ceremony, Count Fernando said: "We are really happy that Black Pearl can come. What the frontline needs now is not just ore, but clean water sources like wine - if this river really flows... As for fine wine, the Prime Minister no longer needs to issue a "water control order" - no matter whether it is sour wine, red wine or strong wine, everyone needs it."
Wallace had mentioned to George before that in order to prevent residents from drinking water directly from the river as they had done before. The duke and the priests spent a lot of thought - but even though they set up so many clean water points, many people still pulled and drank from the river. Even seeing corpses floating in the river did not completely change this habit.
It wasn't until the soldiers started beheading rows of heads every day by the river that the residents believed the propaganda work the priests had been doing - it seemed that drinking the river water would indeed kill people.
And when a pot of clean water and a pot of unpleasant-smelling sour wine are placed in front of them, most people will choose the latter - for them, no matter how clean the water is, they will have diarrhea. But even after finishing the sour wine, I had diarrhea. I also think it's cleaner.
Not only is there no such habit of hot water, but there is also not so much firewood to burn in Bishui City.
This is especially true for soldiers on the front line. You can bring wine but never water when marching. Even if there was prohibition, it was for hard liquor.
Therefore, wine is indeed the same as food. In this kind of disaster, it is a necessity for these people who hate even hot baths.
Not to mention those nobles who are used to living a good life.
"Don't worry, Lord Earl, I still have the final say on this matter." George smiled and looked at Fernando: "If 'anyone' needs these clean water sources on the front line, I can let the valley go all out for harvesting this year. Grape."
The word 'someone' made Fernando's eyes freeze slightly. He showed his smile and looked at this arrogant man who was bold and did not know whether to live or die. When they looked at him, their eyes were meaningful.
At this point, George's heart was completely at peace. Because from those eyes, he understood that Fernando saw what he wanted to express - don't care who I am, I, the leader of the valley, am here to wade into this muddy water!
None of the words the two talked about was the real topic. But they all already understood it. When Fernando first proposed trade, he only talked about it for a few words and then stopped. There was no discussion at all about the price, quantity, and quality of goods that should really be discussed.
Of course, he originally planned to talk about this nonsense.
But now in Fernando's view, no matter what he had thought before, he didn't need to say more - just as George expected, the guy in front of him was an understanding person.
It doesn't matter how much he knows about the valley, nor does it matter whether the person in front of him is George Bolton or Austin.
As for what this person came here for, what Fernando saw was his undisguised arrogance and ambition!
And this ‘successor’ must be reasonable.
Because this hero, who was born as a baron, led a group of powerful knights to represent the valley. He also led everyone to face the terrifying monster on the big farm and turned the tide into such a victorious battle. Now, as an outsider, I have been recognized by the Eldar people, and I am surrounded by His Highness, the Great Priest and others in the center!
There is no need to think too much about the matter - he is the real controller of the valley, no matter how many unclean things there are. He has become the ultimate winner!
As for the identity of 'George Bolton', it is the 'reasonable' inheritance arranged by the man in front of him, or it can be said to be a fig leaf!
Will it be useful if this fig leaf is lifted?
Judging from the arrogance in his words, from the person who has the title of "Tanya Campbell" who became his puppet. For this true master of the valley, reaching the top is inevitable. The fig leaf is just to look better
In such a time of war and chaos in history, there were too many people who suddenly rose up like this. No one can suppress it at all. What the superiors have to consider is whether he can be used for themselves.
So Fernando was not going to talk nonsense. Since the man in front of him got straight to the point, he was going to get straight to the point.
Fernando thought for a moment, and there was a brief silence.
George looked at the surrounding scenery indifferently, waiting for his words.
But in fact, he had more in mind, or he thought further - as a member of the 'Co-help Society', he must know which area is 'dirty' or not. But the Duke wrote a letter to Elizabeth when the dark tide was pressing on the Blue Water City and the war was at its most anxious, saying that he was too tired to do anything else.
Judging from this matter, the Duke and His Majesty had concerns about each other from the very beginning of their cooperation. This prevents them from having an in-depth chat with each other about some sensitive information and sensitive speculations.
Otherwise, even if the Duke believed in Elizabeth, he would not mention so much in the letter - it is better to be careful.
There is a reason for this trust, and there is a reason for the earl's concern - Elizabeth sent the food when the front line was in the most critical moment. This allowed Bishui City to hold on, and Kuroshio had to change its strategy and lure the enemy deeper into the city - otherwise, the plague would have spread to the south that winter. At that time, what Kuroshio had to consider before the blood moon was how to slay the core power of the Holy See.
As for now, regarding the identities of George and others, what Count Fernando will say to the Duke is actually somewhat critical - whether it is black or white, it is all a mouth.
Can be the true heir - he is Bolton.
He can be an ambitious tycoon - a true evaluation seen in Fernando's vision.
Of course, you can also slightly adjust the words in your mouth-the adulterers colluded with Campbell to murder the good earl. This trip is so ambitious!
George knew very well the dirty twists and turns in the hearts of these nobles. Even in this period, he believed that these guys could do these things for the sake of intrigue.
But although Fernando's mouth was crucial, George was not worried.
Because in front of the earl was an important figure hovering between Campbell and His Majesty Phillips. Therefore, as long as this earl is a sensible person, the first and most important thing to do is to extend an olive branch.
Sure enough, after George finished picking grapes, the Earl did not answer the call. Instead, he got straight to the point and handed over the message.
"Your Majesty George, you have returned triumphantly with all the heroes from this battle. After seeing the devil's head, the Duke and Your Majesty will be extremely pleased." Fernando looked at the ambitious man in front of him who did not shy away from the power in the valley. His eyes were burning: "Because this means that there is also an army of Thorn Birds in the Kingdom of Rodunk - this is also a great thing for Lord Wickwhite who needs support. And when the war is over, Duke Dong Move to Bishui Town to guard. Then there should be a real leader in the north of the Elda Kingdom!"
Fernando looked at George with eyes like two swords: "Just like the Wind Singer who was born as a commoner!"
George's mind felt slightly dizzy. He looked at the count in front of him and sighed at the straightforwardness of his words. I also suddenly realized that all the awesome things I had boasted about in the valley might become true.
What he wants to express is very clear
What is the Templar and not the Knights Templar, and what is the Archbishop and not the Archbishop?
As long as the 'Kingdom of Rodenk' endorses you. Are you worried about your identity? Whoever you are is who you are!
