Reincarnation of Soul Cultivation 2

After Klein gained a foothold in the upper class of the Principality of Noel, he began to consider establishing his own industry.He wants to build his own fleet and caravan. The main problem is that he needs a person with strong force as the supervisor, who can manage the sailors of the fleet while deterring the enemy.

It is not easy to do business at sea, because there are many pirates on the sea, and some caravans are half-pirates. They usually do business, but when they encounter caravans that are easy to deal with, they will turn black and black, and they will become pirates in a sudden transformation.And the recruited sailors, if they were not deterred by strong force and simply relied on their reputation and moral standards, these sailors might directly unite to swallow Klein's ships and cargo.

Klein can drive a ghost ship to escort his fleet secretly, but his ghost ship cannot appear on the surface, otherwise, if the churches of various gods hear the news, they will send paladins to encircle him.

So he really needs a bright business manager.

Butler Barton was someone he could trust, but he was just an ordinary person with no force value, so he couldn't deter sailors who were much more slippery and fierce than ordinary civilians at sea.

But such a person is not easy to find. It is really difficult to find people who are shrewd and tactful enough to know how to do business, have a strong force, and Klein can trust.

Fortunately, Klein's new friend Charlie helped him solve this problem. Although His Royal Highness Charlie himself has guards, but the number is not large, and his talents are not good enough to be introduced to Klein for employment.However, his little sister, Her Highness Anna, has led soldiers and fought in battles, and has many mid-level to high-level fighters and talents under her command.When there is no war, these people have nothing else to do except training, and they have no extra income. Therefore, Her Highness Anna mobilized some people to help Klein control the fleet and let his men earn some extra money. This is naturally more than enough.

However, Her Highness Anna is very shrewd. After discussing with Klein, she set the rules. What she wants is not the employment fee received by the soldiers under her command, but a direct participation in Klein's caravan business.

In other words, Anna contributes high-level combat power, while Klein contributes money, ships, and sailors. They each take a share, and after the caravan makes a profit, it also shares the profit proportionally.

It seems that Anna took advantage of it, but Klein is more at ease doing business this way.After all, Anna is the heir of Duke Elton and the next leader of the Duchy of Noel, and she has a partnership with her in business. At least in the territory of the Duchy of Noel, this business is safe and secure, and no one dares to covet it.

Moreover, compared with the staff who are loyal to His Royal Highness Anna, the staff hired by payment will definitely work harder and more attentively because Anna has a hand in the business.Compared to Klein's original idea of ​​finding a reliable high-level fighter, now Anna has a group of mid-level to high-level fighters, and she has a large number of people under her command, which can be rotated every year, which can also guarantee a good profit. His job will not be in the hands of a fixed person all year round, so it will not be easy to make fake accounts, and it is also a good thing for Klein to be deceived.

So, this can be said to be the best of both worlds.

Of course, Klein is also willing to have more exchange of interests with the Duke's Mansion, which is a stronger and longer-lasting relationship than friendship.

When the fleet set sail for the first time, Klein escorted it secretly, followed the fleet from afar, and sneaked in the deep sea.

In fact, the escort was just a matter of passing. The main reason was that Klein needed an environment that would not affect others to learn and practice new undead magic. It was obviously inappropriate in the Principality of Noel, so it was perfectly appropriate to use the sea as an excuse.

Of course, sailing at sea is not easy. If it was easy to do business at sea, then merchant ships would not have such high profits, and people in the mainland would not still regard traveling by horse-drawn carriage as a safer first choice.

The small group of pirates encountered by the fleet, the caravan guards and sailors can all handle it. Although there are certain casualties, it is also a kind of combat training.In this case, Klein's ghost ship will not participate in the battle, and let the guards of the fleet handle it by themselves.

Only when encountering a large group of pirates, the opponent not only has many high-level fighters, but also has strong ships and guns, which is an irresistible factor for the caravan.In this case, Klein would command the ghost ship to sneak under the island's fleet and pierce those ships, causing those ships to sink one by one to the bottom of the sea.

Under such circumstances, even if the fighters among the pirates were stronger and more numerous than the fighters in the caravan, it would be useless if they fell into the sea.

After Klein's fleet ended the battle, completely passed the pirate level, and drove the ship away, Klein's ghost ship was still collecting those dead pirates on the bottom of the sea to devour, and those ships became the ghost ship's resources Of course, the wealth of goods collected on the pirate ship was also accepted by Klein with a smile.

It took five months for the fleet to travel back and forth for the first time. In addition to sailing at sea, there was also time to sell goods at ports along the way and to buy local goods.

The Principality of Nuoer is located in the extreme north of the mainland, and the sea is closed for about four months every year. Therefore, before the arrival of winter, there is not enough time for the fleet to make another full trip.They can only run boats in the nearby waters, or engage in fishing for a period of time.All these are arranged by the butler Barton. Of course, he will not let the fleet idle and keep the fleet and sailors for nothing.

The fleet made a fortune, and Klein also split the bill with Her Highness Anna. Both parties are satisfied with the first cooperation and plan to continue this business in the coming year.

And Klein also continued to live

AD4

In his manor near the port, because it is easy to go to sea here, it is convenient for him to practice magic.

After all, making money is not his first goal, but becoming a strong man is.As a necromancer who needs to hide his identity, Klein can basically guarantee his own personal safety only by constantly becoming stronger until he becomes a legendary wizard.

When winter came and the sea closed, Klein not only gave the fleet under his command a vacation, he also took his butler Barton to the capital of the Duchy of Knoll for vacation. He also needed to maintain his social circle.

Klein and His Royal Highness Charlie have frequent parties and have fun, and they have completely relaxed themselves, enjoying music, fine wine, beauties, and pleasant chats. Charlie is indeed a perfect playmate.

"Did you know? The famous Sith prince sent someone to visit his father and wanted to marry Anne," Charlie whispered to Klein, sipping a small cup of liqueur.The two of them were in the middle of the banquet hosted by Charlie, the others were still dancing to the soft music, and the two who had taken a break were chatting softly on the sofa.

"Is that the notorious Sith Prince?"

"It's him, you didn't expect it, did you? This incident made my father very angry and almost drove the emissary of the Kingdom of Hilton out of the Duke's mansion." Charlie nodded.

This Sith prince is very famous, he is the only son of the king of the Hilton Kingdom and the sole heir of the Hilton Kingdom.But he is lustful, and he is not jealous of men and women. Other nobles keep their mistresses in private, but Prince Kesis is very high-profile. He not only often takes his mistresses to show off in the market, and goes to various noble banquets, but also often promotes his male lover to the court. It holds important positions such as guards.

In short, relying on the fact that the Hilton Kingdom has no second heir to compete with him, this Sith prince is very willful in his actions, and even the kingdom and queen of the Hilton Kingdom have nothing to do with him.So his various sex scandals are known to almost the whole continent.

Klein nodded to express his understanding of Duke Elton's feelings. If a nobleman had no real power, he would probably be willing for his daughter to become a prince. Even if the prince's reputation is notorious, as long as his daughter can become a queen in the future, it will be a good thing for the family.

But for the Duke of Elton, who controls a principality, he has great power and an army in his hands, so he has no use for the Kingdom of Hilton.Although the landlocked Hilton Kingdom has a larger area and a more prosperous economy than the Principality of Noel, but in terms of military strength, how can the Kingdom of Hilton, which has been stable all year round and has loose armaments, compare to the Principality of Noel?

The status in this world depends on strength after all, whether it is personal status or national status.And this strength does not refer to factors such as economic strength, but to use combat power or military strength to speak.Only economic strength without sufficient military strength is a soft persimmon that anyone can pinch.Compared with the Kingdom of Hilton, which hopes to have an ally with strong military strength, the Principality of Noel does not need the help of the Kingdom of Hilton.

The Duchy of Knoll has nothing to use the Kingdom of Hilton, so it is only natural that Duke Elton is unwilling to marry his daughter to a notorious playboy.

As far as Klein knows, it is true that Duke Elton's most beloved child is Anna, but he is also very good to Charlie and Anne, including tolerant of Charlie choosing the life he wants, and also satisfying Annie, the daughter's request for luxury accessories such as jewelry and clothing, did not completely ignore the other two children just because they didn't like them.

Such Duke Elton naturally does not want his daughter to marry someone who is not human.

Charlie said with a half-smile: "There is something even more unexpected to you, that is, Anne wanted to agree to Prince Sith's marriage proposal, but because of her father's objection, she went on a hunger strike at home."

Klein looked at Charlie in surprise, "Why did Annie do this? Could it be that she has met and fallen in love with the Prince of Sith?"

Annie is usually a bit stupid, Klein guessed, could it be that Annie is a rare love brain, who gets hotheaded when she falls in love, and doesn't care about it?

Charlie burst out laughing, "Where did you think? Anne has never left the capital, how could she have seen Prince Sith. She just wants to marry a prince and become a queen in the future. As for this prince What kind of person, she doesn't think about whether her married life will be happy or not. Her vanity is too heavy, and she has always regarded becoming a queen as her life goal. But you also know that our Principality of Nuoer is located in the extreme north. The inland countries don’t have many connections, and they don’t need any allies either economically or militarily. The Principality of Noel can be self-sufficient. Because of this, the princes of the inland countries look for the princess, usually Nor will they find the remote Principality of Noel. Although the prince of Sith who came to propose to Annie this time is notorious, if he rejects him, who knows if Annie can wait for the next suitable prince to propose? That's why Annie thought I will agree to this marriage proposal."

Charlie's words hit the nail on the head, and he didn't save Annie, his sister, any face. However, Klein could also understand his contempt for Annie's actions.

Charlie enjoys life, and pays more attention to spiritual pursuit and enjoyment, which is completely different from the kind of dandy who indulges in wine, sex and carnal desire.As for Annie, she pursues material comforts and a status sought after by thousands of people.The siblings were indeed at odds in every way.

"Will His Excellency the Duke agree?"

Charlie shook his head, "It's impossible for my father to compromise. If it's just a trivial matter, he will indulge Annie. Don't expect Annie to use a hunger strike to force her father to agree to this kind of marriage."
