Chapter 376: 376
Under the twilight, a
Arendelle’s prosperity was supported by trade and taxes .
As the navy of the southern kingdom blockaded the port, the trade in Arendelle was wholly cut off . Many ordinary civilians lost their jobs in the port and had to find another way to make a living . There were a lot of goods piled up near the tavern and hotel . There were hundreds of merchant ships here every day . Once all of them were blocked here, many products couldn’t be transported out . Many in the city were complaining . The businessmen would not think so much; they only hoped that the war would end as soon as possible .
Soran pushed open the tavern door .
In the evening, the weather suddenly changed . It rained heavily all of a sudden . It was around summer already, and a storm was natural .
The rain melted the snow, and soon this icy kingdom would be covered in greenery .
“Damn bastard!”
A drunk man raised his head and looked at Soran; a cold wind came in because he pushed the door open . He scolded, “Close the door quickly, or I will throw you out . ”
Soran came to him, expressionless, then stretched out his hand and pinched his neck . Then the man of more than 200 pounds was lifted easily by him and threw into the smelly ditch outside the pub . At last, the tavern was quiet . Other people looked at Soran suspiciously, and some people who looked like adventurers looked at him thoughtfully as if they were speculating about his class .
“A glass of your finest rum . ”
Soran shook his cloak and ordered the best rum, but it wasn’t for himself, it was on the opposite side of the seat .
He tapped his fingers and waited, and the others quickly returned to their conversations .
Soran only threw out a drunk with a bad mouth . No one cared too much about this kind of thing . Only adventurers were very interested in Soran .
Roughly thirty minutes later .
The door of the tavern was opened again . A cold man with scars on his eyes came in . He was about thirty years old . After a sharp glance at the tavern, he sat directly opposite Soran .
“Your excellency . ”
The man handed a document under the table and said, “This is what you wanted . ”
“Good,” Soran nodded .
Then he tossed a diamond, pointed to the rum on the table, and said, “That’s for you . When did the thieves’ union begin to record my data? ”
The man hesitated for a moment . However, after seeing Soran’s look, he looked away and said, “Last year October . ”
“We collect any information that is of value . Your excellency has always been someone we focused on . ”
Soran nodded gently but didn’t show any expression .
He got up, took a look at the man in front of him . Then he said, “Let your leader come to see me sometime . I want to talk to him about something . ”
After saying that, he turned and walked out .
The rain made the port even more lifeless .
Piled up goods were placed near the warehouse . After the port was blocked, these goods could be transported out . These goods could probably only be sold at a low price or kept for a short time . On the side of the pier was a low shack . Even the rich Arendelle had a group of poor people . Many strong men were sitting under the eaves . Most of them were coolies of the wharf, relying on selling their strength to support their families . Now that the wharf had no work, these people could only sit here .
Soran, who was walking in the rainstorm, was a bit striking .
People looked at him curiously to see what the man who looked like an adventurer was going to do .
Because of the heavy rain, the patrol guards were sheltering from the rain, so in the night, no one disturbed Soran’s work . He came to the edge of the wharf step by step, and then stood in the sea . Soran pulled out a dagger that slightly reflected the light of gold, and then cut his palm a little . Drops of blood fell into the sea . When Soran put his hand into the sea, an invisible magic aura spread .
“What happened over there?”
A boy of fifteen or six years old at most shook his head, then rubbed his eyes and said, “Did you see that? It looks like a light spreading out! ”
The others around the boy answered that they didn’t see anything .
“Is it just me?” The boy’s expression was a little disappointed . He scratched his feet and stared at the sky .
Deepwater Port .
On the sea, which was located tens of kilometers away from the port, there was a sudden wave . Then the sea separated to the left and right, and a dark mast rushed out of the sea . The ghost ship sail spread rapidly, the body of the ship broke through the waves, and the undead on it began to work . With the cold chill in the night, a mist spread out in the nearby sea area, and then the ghost ship sailed in the direction of Arendelle at an extremely fast speed .
It felt Soran’s call!
As a legendary ship, it could steer itself to the destination .
Snake Island had been completely reconstructed . This island was now a transfer island, supporting the materials needed for the outer island trading .
On the silent sea, a huge dark shadow gradually rose . The first thing to appear was ferocious, sharp bones, and then black scales . This huge sea monster emerged on the sea, stayed in place for a moment, and then seemed to feel some kind of call . It swam towards the north sea, its huge body once again dived into the bottom of the sea, and advanced at speed far faster than any warship .
Its master was calling it!
The fresh blood told it where its master was; even if it was thousands of miles away, it could still track it .
Arendelle port .
Soran slowly took back his palm . The wound on his palm was almost healed . He looked at the sea in the dark, then turned to the palace of Arendelle and murmured, “Three more days . ”
