He watched the patrol without looking sideways, walking past him and the others in goose steps.
After a while, Vincent said: "It's true. In this Blue Water Port, at least the Sheriff is a player. I don't know about the Tax Collector."
"Do you want to go and meet?" Liz jumped out of the carriage: "Logically speaking, this is his territory. Wouldn't it be polite not to go and meet?"
Roland waved his hand: "No need, we are not here to cause trouble. If everyone comes to see the players in power, wouldn't I be bored to death in Delbon City?"
Vincent smiled.
Liz felt it made sense. She was used to being a priest of the Water God Cult.
Because the Water God Sect has a rule, if the Water God's priest goes to other cities, if there is a Water God Sect temple in the city, he must report it.
This is a measure to grasp the movements of the priests of the Water God Sect. After all, the Water God Sect has a small number of people. If something happens to the priest, you can know where he last appeared, and it is relatively easy to check.
Although the priests of the Water God Sect are all fighting madmen, they are quite united and friendly within themselves.
A few people found a hotel to stay, put the carriage away, rested for a day, and then asked the boss in the hotel how to rent a small boat in Blue Water Port.
A large ship that doesn't need cargo, just needs to be able to carry seven or eight people.
As a result, the boss pulled him aside and whispered: "The boss of the port is Shiraishi Kempfa. If it is a powerful caravan and has its own ship, he will at most receive a little shipping tax from you, but if only a few people want to Leaving the ship from Blue Water Port is not that simple. Especially if you have a beautiful family with you, it is very dangerous."
Roland frowned: "Does the sheriff in this city not care?"
"Of course, the new Sheriff is really nice. Now the security in the city has been much better." The boss sighed: "But the port is really troublesome. There are more than a dozen professionals under Shirasu Kempfa. , and hundreds of skilled sailors, the Blue Water Port has been controlled by him, and even the Sheriff has nothing to do with them for the time being."
After listening to the boss's words, Roland thought for a while and said, "It seems we really have to go see the sheriff."
The other three people also sighed at the same time.
The four of them then went to the city hall. As soon as they reported their identities as the Golden Sons, they were invited inside by the guards. It seemed that they had already known that they would come.
Entering the room, not long after Roland and the four of them sat down, a woman with a heavy back but delicate features walked in.
One look at her style of painting, and Roland and others knew that this was another 'charm battle'.
Also known as 'battlefield commanders', people with high charisma can learn many good command skills, and good physique can give them good survivability and combat capabilities on the battlefield.
If pure warriors rely on individual strength, then charm battles rely more on the strength of the team.
As soon as this woman came in, Vincent and Liz screamed: "Brinda, why is it you?"
The woman named Brinda smiled at the two of them, and then looked at Roland: "I've finally waited for you, Roland."
Roland was stunned for a moment, and a clue connected in his head. He slapped his thigh suddenly: "I was fooled. That guy Hawke lured me here on purpose."
Vincent and Liz were a little confused.
Brinda laughed: "As expected of Master, this reaction speed is really fast. Yes, we deliberately led you here, but we did not lie to you. There is indeed a seal on an island offshore. A sword of blue fire."
Andona tugged on Roland's arm: "What's wrong? Why did Hawke lie to us? Isn't the sword real?"
The saying "Big breasts and no brains" is universal.
Roland sighed and said: "They are all from the same union. I guess Hawke and Link have stayed here for a while before, but you have no way to deal with the evil forces in the port, so you used the blue fire sword to Lead us here."
Brinda poured a glass of fruit herself and put it in front of Roland with both hands: "Hoke, there is nothing we can do about it. After all, some time ago, our Silver Wings Guild people had a bad time with you, so of course we asked you to come over and help. I can’t say it out loud, but I’ll give you some information. I have good equipment. In the process of obtaining the equipment, isn’t it normal game behavior to kill some monsters and do some tasks?”
Roland shook his head helplessly, and after a while, he laughed again.
Although Hawke was a bit careful, it wasn't annoying.
The information given by the other party is true. Although it is a bit exploiting their doubts, the fact that a piece of equipment that may be epic is handed over to others is enough to show their sincerity.
"Then tell us about the origins of the white-bearded Kempfa in this port."
"So you are willing to help?" Brinda's eyes lit up.
Roland nodded.
Things have come to this, and we have to help even if we don’t want to help. Isn’t it going to be a waste of time
"Thank you." Brinda smiled.
Then she told her about the situation at the port.
It turns out that the actual control over the port of Blue Water Port is not in the hands of the city owner of Blue Water Port.
Although the city lord has a lot of troops, he is actually not good at naval warfare. More than 30 years ago, the white-bearded Kempfa brought six warships to Blue Water Port and captured the port. However, they did not attack the city lord's palace. They attacked The city cannot.
The six battleships at the City Lord's Mansion are also Muggles.
After several years of stalemate with each other and both sides losing many people, they finally agreed to a rule.
The Bluewater Port tax was split in half, and the merchant ship portion fell under the Whitebeard Kemp Act.
When the goods arrive on the shore, another tax will be levied, which belongs to the city lord's palace.
It wouldn't be a big deal if they just collected taxes. The problem is that Shirasu Kempfa often breaks the bottom line when doing things.
From time to time, when the city guards were not paying attention, they captured some women in the city and sold them as slaves to other seaport cities.
Moreover, the security situation in the area near the port is very poor.
Incidents such as burning, killing and looting occur from time to time.
Brinda said: "After I took over the post of Sheriff, I had confrontations with Kempfa's people no less than twenty times, and I lost more than I won. Fortunately, I had immortality, so I managed to maintain the status quo, and even recovered some of the things he used. We can only do this to this extent, even with the help of Hawke and Link. The other party is very cunning. When they see something is wrong, they return to the warship and then start to block the port. In the end, we have to humiliate them. Negotiate and apologize.”
"So you want me to blow up his ship?"
"Yes." Brinda nodded: "This is extremely difficult for other people, but for a high-altitude bomber like you, it's a piece of cake."
"Okay, tell me what those warships look like."
Brinda was overjoyed: "It's easy to recognize them. Their warships are very big. There are six of them parked outside the port. The sails are all painted with the logo of an old man with a white beard."
Roland pointed to the table: "Pour me a glass of hot wine. I'll be back soon."
Then he turned around and left the room.
Vincent gasped: "This scene looks familiar to me."
Brinda also felt familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
At this time, Liz said quietly: "Guan Gong warms the wine and kills Hua Xiong!"
After being stunned for a while, Vincent got angry and slammed the table: "Oh, I'm so fucking pretentious, so fucking enviable. Damn it, I really want to be cool like this! Why can't I do it? Why!"
