Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage
Chapter 65 Compensation for the aftermath
Christine received the four mages politely and let them taste the tea she brought. After all, the intruders had been eliminated, and the remaining matters did not need to be handled by the mage himself.
Soon after, a large group of city guards arrived. After hearing the report from the Mage Tower that nearly a hundred people were attacking the manor, the captain of the city guards was so frightened that he brought all the people he could find. Only then did he collect enough in a short time. There were nearly two hundred people, including dozens of handymen with weapons in their hands but not even leather armor.
At this time, Eric Knight had brought his people back, so the follow-up matters were left to him and the city guards.
The Port City of Rotterdam is the direct territory of the Grand Duke of the Principality of Belgium. If such a big thing happens, the city guards must notify the city owner. An hour later, the city owner, hereditary honorary count Mattia Solari, came to the manor.
"Good afternoon, Baron Stewart." Count Mattia Solari greeted him warmly as soon as he got off the carriage.
"Good afternoon, Count Mattia Solari." Christine responded politely.
After arriving at the living room, the two of them first talked nonsense about the weather, and then Count Mattia said: "Baron Stewart, I'm sorry that you encountered danger in the port city of Rotterdam, but please believe that this is just It was an accident and we will investigate the matter thoroughly."
"Count Mattia, with all due respect, the security of this city really needs to be improved. I am lucky today. Miss Savannah from the Elf tribe protects me. But if it were someone else, tragedy might have happened." .”
"Indeed, it is too dangerous. Of course, I will immediately arrange a clearing operation against the attackers, I assure you."
"Count Mattia, I believe in your guarantee and hope these thugs will be punished as they deserve."
"Baron Stewart, the city hall will provide you with a compensation for the shock you suffered in the Port City of Rotterdam. I hope it will make you forget this unpleasant experience."
"Thank you Count Mattia, I feel the kindness of the port city of Rotterdam."
Afterwards, the two parties talked politely for a while, and Count Mattia took his leave.
That night his butler came to the manor with 5,000 gold coins, which was the compensation for the attack agreed upon during the day. When the butler left, he took the body of the fifth-level mage with him.
The attack on Baron Stewart must not have been concealed this time, and the fact that nearly a hundred people openly attacked the noble residence during the day was also a very shocking thing. In this case, it is very important to obtain Christine's understanding. If she spreads the publicity about the security problems in the port city of Rotterdam, it will be a big blow to the city's credibility. If she stays silent, it is another matter.
Therefore, Count Mattia chose to exchange huge compensation for the reputation of the port city of Rotterdam. The body of the fifth-level mage can also prove that the attack was not a failure of the city guards, but that the opponent was too strong.
And with a fifth-level mage, a fifth-level warrior, a fifth-level thief and dozens of corpses of intruders, it can be said that Count Mattia killed most of them with the cooperation of the mage tower and the city guards. On the part of the attackers, after all, as long as Kristen remained silent, the rest of the matter was not left to them to publicize.
Christine, who had gained benefits and had nothing to lose, was naturally happy to make a fortune quietly. After all, all the confessions she wanted to ask for had already been asked. Moreover, the two three-masted sailing ships used by the Priory of Sion to transport people also became her trophies. The most important thing in the port city of Rotterdam is sailors. If you recruit some people, you can sail the ship back.
In addition, the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce affiliated to the Fortune Church also sent people to deliver a compensation of one thousand gold coins. Christine rented a manor owned by the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce. The two thieves had been among the servants for so long. As the manager, the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce must be responsible. If there is no follow-up, you may only need to compensate five hundred gold coins, but if the matter becomes serious, you will have to double it. After all, spending a little money is nothing compared to the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce.
These two compensations were not only enough to cover the cost of Christine's treasure hunt but also half of the cost of purchasing the battleship, which was considered a good windfall.
The next voyage back to the territory was smooth sailing.
.
Port of Dominaria.
When I came back after being away for a few months, I saw that there were many more merchant ships anchored at the port than before, and the patrolling navy was also much more capable.
The battleship "Sarri" slowly docked at the dedicated dock. Knight Liam Stewart, Knight Albert Loiseau, butler Victor, wizard Olivia, Ramos and others greeted Christine at the dock. return.
"Welcome back, Lord Baron." Liam led everyone in saluting and greetings.
"You have worked hard during my absence. I brought gifts to everyone." Kristen said with a smile.
You must know that the two captured three-masted sailing ships will not come back empty. Instead, they are loaded with goods purchased from the port of Rotterdam in the Principality of Belgium. In addition to the gifts for everyone, the rest can be sold for nearly 2,000 yuan. Profit from gold coins. After all, the family is big and the business is big, so it’s good to earn a little more.
After returning to the Mage Tower Castle, Christine made a formal introduction to everyone.
"Savanna Brandon Morningstar, a tenth-level elf sword dancer, is my distant cousin. She will serve as my guard captain in the future." In order not to shock the world, she concealed Savannah's true strength.
The old people of Baron Stewart who were present were not curious about the elf Savannah. After all, Christine’s mother, Philosil Morningstar, was an elf and had lived in the territory for many years. Everyone had become accustomed to it after seeing it too much. .
As for why a tenth-level elf sword dancer should serve as the guard captain of his baron, that is an internal matter within their Morning Star family, and others will not ask more questions.
"Treya, you will be my maid from now on." Christine pointed at the centaur girl and said.
Everyone was very curious about this centaur girl when they were at the dock. They had never seen a creature like a centaur, and there were no centaur slaves in the Kingdom of France. But it's good that the Baron is happy. After all, nobles are willing to raise excellent war horses. It is reasonable for my Lord to raise a centaur girl.
Christine added: "Hull was originally a prisoner of war. Due to his outstanding performance on the ship, he was pardoned from his labor service in advance and served as the first mate of the Surrey battleship as a territorial citizen."
After hearing this, Hull immediately knelt down on one knee and said with a serious expression: "Baron, thank you for your kindness. Hull will definitely serve you wholeheartedly."
Along the way, Hull used his navigation knowledge to solve many problems for Stewart's navy on its first voyage, and he was naturally rewarded.
The next step is to reward the group of people who went to the Wende Principality this time. There is a mature charter. Needless to say, everyone was happy for a while.
