Lu Cheng returned directly to Scarre with the video that could be named "Declaration of Beast Rights of the Blood Crystal Beast of the Far South Empire".
Earl Lionheart found a place in Black Sword City to hide, waiting for the arrival of the guards sent by the emperor. As for the assassins who targeted Earl Lionheart, they were all secretly killed by the "mysterious master" beside him.
The role played by Lu Cheng has become an insignificant one. Today, there is an important thing to do in Skare Lu Cheng, that is, the immigrant ship from the Far South Empire has arrived at the Skare ferry.
There were a total of three thousand immigrants on the immigration ship, and it would be impossible to maintain order relying solely on the law enforcers of Skare, so some soldiers were dispatched from the camp to help maintain order at the Skare ferry.
Lu Cheng was also at the scene and met the old captain who looked a little bloated.
"Sir! You are really here!"
When Captain Sina was standing at the side of the Laughter and saw Lu Cheng, he was so excited that he seemed to jump off the side.
However, the Laughter was more than five meters above the ground, so the fat captain had to squeeze through the crowd of refugees rushing off the ship with some difficulty.
"Your Mightiness…"
He trotted all the way to the front of Lucheng. He tried his best to maintain the elegance and demeanor of a Far South merchant, but after staying on a merchant ship full of refugees for almost half a month, Captain Sina's hair had become a paradise for creatures like lice.
"Let's talk somewhere else." Lu Cheng glanced at the refugees who were getting off the Smile and the Goddess in the distance.
Their first reaction when they arrived in the new city was to shiver from the cold, and emotions such as uneasiness and fear were the most common.
Lu Cheng had a lot of questions to ask the captain. At Lu Cheng's request, Captain Xina took a guard and quickly followed Lu Cheng to the tent set up near the ferry.
"It's really great that you're here. I haven't seen many people on my way to Skarre, and it's so cold."
Captain Xinna followed Lu Cheng and kept talking. After he entered the port where Xiu Enzhe came from, he clearly felt the temperature drop. The deeper he went along the Green Leaf River, the lower the temperature became.
He had taken measures to keep warm in advance, so the low temperature was nothing to Captain Sina. What he was really worried about was not being able to find Lucheng.
Captain Sina passed by the Radiant City of Skarre along the way. He wanted to replenish some supplies there, but the Radiant City had long since turned into a pile of ruins, and not even a single figure could be seen. He also vaguely heard the roar of some monster in the Radiant City, so he hurriedly asked the sailors to leave the city.
"Skarre just suffered a blood crystal beast disaster. It will take a long time to recover, so it is normal for it to be so desolate."
Lu Cheng took a cup of hot water and handed it to the captain. Captain Xinna quickly took the hot water from Lu Cheng. He did not rush to drink it, but held it in his hands to keep warm.
One or two people froze to death on the Laughter during these days, and the captain also got a lot of frostbite on his hands.
"You are not from the Scarrei family, are you?"
Captain Sina looked up and down at the various items in the tent. His eyes were first attracted by the light bulb in the tent. Staring at the light bulb for too long made his eyes feel uncomfortable.
"Does it matter whether it is or not?"
Lu Cheng pointed to a chair in the tent, and Captain Xina sat down and took a breath.
"It's alright, of course it's alright, sir."
Captain Sina could guess with his heels that Lucheng had nothing to do with Skarre, which had become a ghost town. They were just here.
But where did they come from? Elder Xina didn't dare to ask more...
"Have you sold all the lighters I gave you?"
Lu Cheng looked at the captain. He was like a kindergarten kid going to the hospital for the first time. He looked around warily, wondering if a nurse would prick him with a needle.
“They’re all sold.”
Captain Xinna's eyes kept staring at the soldier standing behind Lu Cheng. There was a reason why he was so scared.
The image of Lucheng aboard the Laughter shooting a pirate through the head with a pistol was still seared into his memory, as was the soldier behind Lucheng holding the same weapon.
Just from the fact that there were special soldiers protecting him, Captain Sina deduced that Lu Cheng was not an ordinary civilian or businessman, but must be a person of high status.
Thinking of this, Captain Sina signaled to the guard behind him to put a small cloth bag on the table. He untied the rope on the cloth bag and poured out the contents.
It was a pile of crystal clear gems and gold coins.
"Your Excellency, please look at these..." Captain Sina stopped talking here. This was a communication trick he learned from frequently dealing with high-level officials in the Far South. That is, take out the money first, and then see what the other party wants to use in exchange for the money.
Therefore, Lu Cheng could have simply said that the money was the capital from selling the lighter, or he could have kept it for himself.
"Keep these glass beads for yourself." Lu Cheng looked at Captain Xin's winking expression and rubbed his forehead helplessly.
"Glass...glass? Sir, these gems are all top-quality products from the Principality of Leslota. You can exchange them for a lot of money if you take them to our country." Captain Sina said.
"Keep it for yourself and exchange it for money, and then buy a bigger boat."
Lu Cheng took the "Encyclopedia of the Industrial Age" and began to flip through it, selecting some products that would sell well if thrown to the Far South Empire.
"I'll keep it for myself? Then, sir, do you really only want those refugees?"
"You just need to transport as many refugees as possible here, whether they are slaves or civilians who want to leave the Far South Empire, as long as they are not dangerous murderers."
Lu Cheng also wanted to entrust the captain to see if he could get one or two fragments of the earth vein core, but this thing is a controlled item in all countries, and only the royal family is qualified to own the fragments of the earth vein core.
Anyone of Captain Sina's rank who possesses a fragment of the earth vein core will be beheaded.
"I understand. There are 3,100 refugees on the Smile and the Goddess. Most of them are residents of the Gray Feather Kingdom, and a small number are slaves I found."
Captain Sina actually felt quite guilty when he said this. Strictly speaking, those refugees could not be considered his "property". The most Captain Sina provided them with was a ticket to cross the ocean.
So he was very afraid that Lu Cheng would use this reason to lower his salary.
"How much cargo can your ship carry?" Lu Cheng put down the Industrial Age Encyclopedia in his hand and asked.
"What did you say?"
Captain Xinna suspected that he had misheard the question Lu Cheng asked.
"What is the capacity of your ship? How much cargo can it carry at most? I have a lot of goods that you need to sell," Lu Cheng said.
