Xia Zoe did not receive the envoy sent by Hurghada, but Fernandi came forward to negotiate with him.
Hurghada wanted to exchange their cavalry.
-OK, no problem.
But the condition is to exchange for money. One cavalry and one cavalry are paid for, and the price of a high-ranking, such as a knight commander, will be calculated separately.
Hurghada dared not speak.
After all, the situation is stronger than people, and they have to bow their heads and swallow their voices, pinching their noses to recognize such conditions.
Because among the cavalry captured by the Desinian army, many of them were nobles of Hurghada, or sons of nobles.
Their status is noble, 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 the cost.
However, the envoys sent from Hurghada euphemistically stated that they did not bring enough money to come here this time... They are shy, can the price be lowered a little
Fernandi said that he was going to ask the lord for instructions. After returning, he asked, "Who will pay the money you used to exchange the captives?"
The envoy was stunned for a moment and said, "Of course, His Majesty the King."
Fernandi: "Lord Lord has an idea."
"Since the money you brought is not enough to exchange all the cavalry, it is better for us to escort these cavalry to Hurghada, and then let the family members of these cavalry come to claim it 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, whether His Majesty the King of Hulgota will pay half or not at all..."
The envoy opened his mouth, his expression stunned and sluggish, how could he still be like this? !
The envoy hesitated.
The current situation is that there is not enough money to take all the cavalry, but according to this Knight Commander Edward, is it really necessary to let them 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 decide.
Fernandi nodded in a relaxed manner.
The envoy took the lead in sending a knight back to Hurghada quickly.
The knight came back again with a letter from the king of Hurghada, which read - agree with the solution proposed by the lord of Desinia.
They can enter Hurghada for exchange.
Three days later, the black cavalry team led by Fernandi escorted the captured cavalry of Hurghada into the port.
The black cavalry army lined up on both sides of the port, the flag of the thorn rose fluttered in the wind, and was blown by the river wind from the Aybutin River from time to time.
The river was ups and downs, as if even the boat was shaking slightly.
The envoy of Hurghada said: "The weather is not very good today. Sir, would you like to take our boat to set off? Our boat can run smoothly on the river."
Hurghada is best known for its shipbuilding industry.
Geena, because of its neighbors, occasionally invited the people of Helga to build ships for them.
Compared with the several ships that stopped at the port, it is undoubtedly that the ships of Hurghada are particularly outstanding.
Fernandi shook his head, saying no.
The envoy did not force himself, and after boarding the ship, he set sail and led the way ahead.
A team of black cavalry troops was stationed here at the port to keep an eye on the situation.
Dai Na covered his eyebrows with his hands and looked into the distance, with a worried expression: "Mike, you said that the wind and waves on the Abuting River are so urgent today, will the Lord be uncomfortable?"
"Some people feel nauseous when they are on a boat..."
Mike also stared at the ship that was almost turned into a little bit in the distance: "It should be fine."
"Butler Judit will definitely take good care of the lord when he is by his side. We will guard this place so that the lord has no worries."
"Um."
I have to say that Dana has some crows' mouths.
Xia Zoe is seasick.
After he came out of the cabin, he vomited on the rickety boat, his face turned pale, and after that, he lay dizzy and weak in Judit's arms, closing his eyes and resting for the time being. for a while.
Xia Zuoyi said in his heart: "Everything, after returning home, we will start to build a seaport and arrange shipbuilding."
The considerate Tongzi fanned the host with a small hand of matchsticks in the system interface.
Xia Zuoyi had never been seasick before, and he never thought that there would be such a day.
It must be the boat that can't, not him.
"Lord, would you like some lemonade?" Judit asked worriedly.
He took the soaked lemonade from Valk's hand, and carefully fed it to his mouth after Xia Zoe opened his eyes and nodded.
This time I went to Hurghada, and the whole journey was made by Fernandi.
Valk and Judit followed secretly as the black cavalry, while Xia Zoe hid, after all, his height and age were too obvious.
Xia Zuoyi didn't show up until after boarding the ship, and was carried out of the cabin by Fernandi because he couldn't help but vomit.
Judit: "Lord, it will take more than half a day to travel from Gana to Hurghada, so please bear with me 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, it was just discomfort and a little dizziness.
"Okay." Walker heard the words and went to get a glass of salt water himself.
After drinking, Xia Zoe lay down in a ventilated place to rest.
Wait until half a day has passed.
It was getting dark, and the fleet finally reached the port of Hurghada.
Fernandi said to the envoy, "Have you seen His Majesty the King today?"
The envoy shook his head: "It's getting late, so naturally I don't need it."
"Please go to the residence we arranged to rest first, Lord Knight. Someone will pick you up early tomorrow morning to take you into the palace, and then someone will exchange our cavalry with you."
Fernandi nodded.
They were taken by the envoy to a place of rest.
After the envoy left, Xia Zuoyi and others appeared and ordered the soldiers to be vigilant. They began to take out the treasure map in a room to study the location of the treasure.
Xia Zoe got a detailed treasure map because of 098's help.
The above shows that it is in the territory of Hurghada, but this is unknown to others.
Xia Zoe also has to find a way to understand the treasure map Rodney gave him on the bright side.
But fortunately, Rodney later said that after a long period of research by his father, he believed that the treasure location on this treasure map was likely to be in the kingdom of Hulcuta.
He said: "My father managed to get a detailed map of Hurghada. After careful comparison, he made a guess. My father wanted to go to Hurghada to investigate in person, but he didn't expect..."
... I didn't expect to catch up with Bruno Green's rebellion and try to win the throne.
Since Xia Zuoyi accepted Rodney's "repayment", he naturally asked him what he wanted in exchange for it.
Rodney: "I, I want to revive the family."
Territories were occupied and homes disappeared.
He has nothing but the title of an earl...
Rodney summoned his courage and said, "Lord 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 used to circle 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 markings.
Anyway, Xia Zuoyi compared the detailed map, the treasure map, and the map of Hurghada produced by the system, but did not find any similarity between 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 made a random inference and happened to be in the right place
But anyway, Rodney's father's inference did provide convenience for Xia Zoe.
…
Now, they are sitting around the table researching where the treasure is.
After all, the scope is too large, and their time in Hurghada is limited, it is impossible to find them all.
Otherwise, the movement caused by this will inevitably attract the investigation and search of the people of Helga.
Xia Zuoyi had already checked the exact location.
When he saw Judit, Valk and others discussing where the treasure was likely to be, he casually said, "We can start with Duke Bill's original residence."
"After all, if he wants to hide treasures, he will definitely choose places he is familiar with."
Judit nodded: "The lord is right."
Walker said: "It is indeed a great possibility."
"The story of Duke Bill should be well known in Hurghada. Maybe we can ask someone tomorrow."
Fernandi: "But we don't have much time left."
He will enter the palace tomorrow, and it will not be long before he will exchange cavalry with the nobles of Hulcuta.
Once the exchange is over, they have to leave.
Xia Zuoyi: "This is also something that can't be helped. It takes a lot of time just to find it. It's good that we can come to Hurghada in an open and honest way."
He thought for a while and said, "Fernandi, after the exchange, you will leave first."
"Judit and Valk stay, and then leave a group of soldiers, let them disguise as servants, we find a way to pretend to be merchants first..."
His appearance and age are too obvious. The reason why Fernandi is responsible for the exchange is because he doesn't want people to notice him.
But once infiltrated into Hurghada, things were much easier.
Xia Zoe said: "Judit is the boss of an ordinary chamber of commerce, I follow as my younger brother, and Valk is a hired knight."
Fernandi frowned, looking worried.
Valk patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect the safety of Lord Lord."
"Besides, if you attract Hurghada's attention to yourself, no one will notice us anymore, and it will also facilitate our future actions."
Go on a treasure hunt, of course, the fewer people the better.
Xia Zoe: "We also need to do some disguise."
Judit and the others nodded.
However, the next day, something unexpected happened.
The envoy smiled apologetically: "Lord Knight, you may have to wait another day."
"Today is really... His Majesty the King needs to meet the messenger from the Anas Empire first..."
Fernandi: "What are the envoys of the Anas Empire doing here?"
Envoy: "This... where is the thing we can know."
"The Anas Empire is not something that Hulgarda can afford to offend, and I hope you can bear more..."
"I understand, let's talk about it tomorrow." Fernandi said in a low voice: "It's not me who is anxious anyway."
The envoy continued to laugh.
They also have no way.
Who would have thought that the messenger of the Anas Empire would arrive at this time, those nobles who wanted to redeem the cavalry were the most anxious, but now they can only hold back for the time being.
After the envoy left, Fernandi explained the situation to Xia Zoe.
Xia Zuoyi: "The messenger of the Anas Empire is here, it happens to be convenient for us."
"Go and find out today about Duke Bill's deeds, from his birth to his death..."
"Yes, my lord."
