The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

Xia Zuoyi did not receive the envoys sent by Hulkada, but Fernandi came forward to negotiate with them.

Hurghada wanted their cavalry back in exchange.

--OK, no problem.

But the condition is to exchange money. One cavalry will count the money for one cavalry, and the price for high-ranking cavalry, such as the knight commander, will be calculated separately.

Hulkada dared not speak out.

After all, the situation is stronger than people, they had to bow their heads and swallow their anger, holding their noses to accept such conditions.

Because among the cavalry captured by the Desenian army, many were nobles from Hulkada, or the sons of nobles.

Their status is honorable, and it is impossible for them to be imprisoned in Gaina's prison like this. They must be brought back to Hurghada safe and sound, no matter what price they pay.

However, the envoys sent by Hulkada said euphemistically that they did not bring enough money when they came this time...their pockets are shy, can the price be lowered a little?

Fernando was going to ask the lord for instructions, and when he came back, he asked, "Who will pay for the money you exchanged for the prisoners?"

The envoy froze for a moment and said, "Of course it is His Majesty the King."

Fernandi: "My lord has an idea."

"Since the money you bring is not enough to exchange all the cavalry, why don't we escort these cavalry to Hulkada first, and then let the families of these cavalry come to claim them one by one."

"Come and pay one person's money. As long as the money is in hand, the cavalry will be able to go home immediately."

"And this money is up to you to negotiate with yourself, depending on whether His Majesty the King of Hulkada will pay half of it or not at all..."

The envoy opened his mouth with a dazed and dull expression, is it okay? !

The envoy was a little hesitant.

The current situation is that there is not enough money to take away all the cavalry, but according to the statement of the knight commander Edward, are they really going to be allowed to enter Hurghada? !

The envoy has no way to make a decision, he needs to report the matter to His Majesty the King, and His Majesty will make a decision.

Fernandi nodded calmly.

The envoy was the first to send a knight back to Hulkada quickly.

When the knight came back again, he brought the King of Hulkada's letter, which read—agree with the proposal proposed by Lord Designia.

They can enter Hurghada for exchange.

Three days later, Fernandi led the black cavalry to escort the captured cavalry from Hulkada into the port.

Black cavalry troops lined up on both sides of the port, and the flag of Thorns and Roses fluttered in the wind, blown by the wind from the Abdin River from time to time.

The river is undulating, as if even the boat is shaking slightly, and the bottom of the boat is often greeted with waves and foam, with a continuous sound.

The envoy of Hulkada said: "The weather today is not very good. Would you like to set off on our boat? Our boat can sail on the river smoothly enough."

Hulkada is best known for its shipbuilding industry.

Because of its proximity, Qana occasionally invited Hulkadas to build ships for them.

Compared with the several ships staying at the port, the ship from Hurghada is undoubtedly the most outstanding.

Fernandi shook his head, saying no.

The envoys were not reluctant. After boarding the ship, they first set sail and led the way. One ship after another left the port for Hurghada.

A team of black cavalry was stationed at the port to keep an eye on the situation.

Dyna covered his eyebrows with his hands and looked into the distance, with a worried expression on his face, he said: "Mike, you said that the wind and waves on the Abdin River are so strong today, will the lord feel uncomfortable?"

"Some people get nauseous on a boat..."

Mike also stared at the ship that was almost turned into a point in the distance: "It should be fine."

"Butler Judit will definitely take good care of the lord with his side. We will guard this place so that the lord has no worries."

"Ah."

I have to say that Dyna has a crow's mouth.

Xia Zuoyi got seasick.

After he came out of the cabin, he vomited on the swaying boat, and his face turned pale a lot. After that, he lay dizzy and weak in Judit's arms, and closed his eyes for a while. for a while.

Xia Zuoyi thought in his heart: "Total, after returning, we will start to build a seaport and arrange shipbuilding."

The thoughtful Tongzi fanned the host with a match in the system interface.

Xia Zuoyi had never been seasick before, and she never thought that such a day would come.

It must be the boat, not him.

"Lord, would you like some lemonade?" Judit asked with a worried expression.

He took the already soaked lemonade from Valk's hand, and carefully fed it to his mouth after Xia Zuoyi opened his eyes and nodded.

This trip to Hurghada, the whole process was done by Fernandi.

Walker and Judith both disguised themselves as black cavalry and followed secretly, while Xia Zuoyi hid it, after all, his height and age were too obvious.

Xia Zuoyi didn't show up until after boarding the ship, but Fernandi carried her out of the cabin because she couldn't help but want to vomit.

Judith: "Lord, it will take more than half a day to travel from Gaina to Hulkada, please bear with it for now."

"I'm fine, I feel better now."

Seeing that they were all worried, Xia Zuoyi said, "Give me a cup of hot water with salt."

His seasickness was actually not too serious. After vomiting, he was just uncomfortable and a little dizzy.

"Okay." Walker heard the words and went to get a glass of salt water himself.

After Xia Zuoyi finished drinking, she lay down in a ventilated place to rest.

Wait until half a day has passed.

The sky gradually darkened, and the fleet finally reached the port of Hurghada.

Fernandi said to the envoy: "Do you have an audience with His Majesty the King today?"

The envoy shook his head: "It's getting late, so of course we don't need it."

"Master Knight, please go to the residence we have arranged to rest first. Someone will pick you up tomorrow morning and enter the palace. At that time, someone will exchange our cavalry with you."

Fernandi nodded.

They were taken by envoys to a place of rest.

After the envoy left, Xia Zuoyi and others appeared and ordered the soldiers to be on guard, and they began to take out the treasure map in a room to study the location of the treasure.

Thanks to 098's help, Xia Zuoyi obtained a detailed treasure map.

It shows that it is in Hurghada, but other people don't know this.

Xia Zuoyi also had to find a way to understand the treasure map Rodney gave him on the bright side.

But fortunately, Rodney later said that after his father's long-term research, he believed that the treasure location on this treasure map was probably in the Kingdom of Hurghada.

He said: "My father managed to get a detailed map of Hurghada, and after careful comparison, he made a guess. My father wanted to go to Hurghada to investigate it himself, but he didn't expect..."

...I didn't expect to meet Bruno Green's rebellion and try to win the throne.

Since Xia Zuoyi accepted Rodney's "reward", he naturally asked him what he wanted in exchange.

Rodney: "I, I want to revive the family."

Territories were occupied, homes disappeared.

He no longer owns anything but the title of an earl...

Rodney summoned up his courage and said, "My lord, can you give me a chance? I, I want to be the mayor."

Xia Zuoyi: "Yes, as long as you work hard enough."

Rodney's father once circled a large area on a map of Hurghada.

In view of the backwardness of knowledge about geography and corresponding tools in this era, the map of Hurghada is not drawn in detail, and many places are actually very rough, without even detailed marks.

Anyway, Xia Zuoyi compared the detailed map produced by the system, the treasure map, and the map of Hulkada, but couldn't find any similarities among the three.

Even within the circled area, there are no pictures of mountains and rivers similar to those on the treasure map.

He wondered if Rodney's father had just guessed at random and happened to be in the right place?

But no matter what, Rodney's father's deduction did provide Xia Zuoyi with convenience.

…………

Now, they're sitting around the table trying to figure out where the treasure might be.

After all, the scope is too large, and their time in Hurghada is limited, so it is impossible to search for them all.

Otherwise, the movement caused by this will inevitably attract the pursuit and search of the Helvetians.

Xia Zuoyi had already compared the exact location.

When he saw that Judith, Walker and others were discussing where the treasure might be hidden, he said inadvertently, "We can start from Duke Bill's original residence."

"After all, if he wants to hide treasures, he will definitely give priority to places he is familiar with."

Udit nodded: "The lord is right."

Walker said: "There is indeed a great possibility."

"Duke Bill's deeds should be well known in Hurghada, maybe we can ask someone tomorrow."

Fernandi: "But we don't have much time left."

Tomorrow he will enter the palace, and it will not be long before he will exchange cavalry with the nobles of Hulkada and others.

Once the exchange is complete, they have to leave.

Xia Zuoyi: "There is no way around this. Just looking for it will take a lot of time. It is already very good that we can come to Hurghada openly."

He thought for a while and said, "Fernandi, after the exchange is over, you should leave first."

"Judit and Valk stay here, and the number of soldiers in the first class is left, and let them pretend to be servants. We will find a way to pretend to be businessmen first..."

His appearance and age were too obvious, and the reason why Fernandi was in charge of the whole exchange was because he didn't want people to notice him.

But once you sneak into Hulkada, things will be much easier.

Xia Zuoyi said: "Judit is the boss of an ordinary chamber of commerce, I follow as a younger brother, and Valk is a hired knight."

Fernandi frowned, looking worried.

Valk patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect the safety of the lord."

"Besides, if you draw Hulkada's attention to yourself, no one will notice us again, and it will be convenient for our future actions."

To go treasure hunting, of course, the fewer people the better.

Xia Zuoyi: "We also need to do some camouflage."

Judith and others nodded.

However, the next day, something unexpected happened suddenly.

The envoy smiled apologetically, "Master Knight, you may have to wait another day."

"Today is really... His Majesty the King needs to meet the envoy from the Anas Empire first..."

Fernandi: "What are the envoys of the Anas Empire doing here?"

Envoy: "This... is something we can know."

"The Anas Empire is not something Hulkada can afford to offend, I hope you will take it easy..."

"I understand, let's talk about it tomorrow." Fernandi said in a low voice, "Anyway, I'm not the one who is anxious."

The envoy continued to apologize.

They also have no choice.

Who would have thought that the envoys of the Anas Empire would arrive at this time, and those nobles who wanted to redeem the cavalry were the most eager, but now they could only hold back for the time being.

After the envoy left, Fernandi explained the situation to Xia Zuoyi.

Xia Zuoyi: "It's good that the envoy of the Anas Empire is here, it happens to be convenient for us."

"Go and find out about Duke Bill today, from his birth to his death..."

"Yes, my lord."
