Chapter 489: Going to the Sea (Part 1)
Soon, many matters in the territory were arranged. Next, Romon had to do it and be busy, which was something that would have a great impact on him - Shangwangdu.
Why is this a big impact?
The reason is very simple. Although Romon is a viscount and is a powerful local faction, this is his first time to go to the capital, meet the king for the first time, and enter the upper social circle of the capital for the first time. If there is anything bad, it will directly affect the development of the family.
Although the strength of local lords does not need to be too afraid of the royal family, the king is a king after all. Nobles like Romon with poor connections and family roots do not need to offend royal members in this regard, and they cannot leave a bad impression on the entire aristocratic class in that mainstream upper class.
"Are the carriages ready?" When it comes to how to get to the capital, the first way that came to mind was to take the carriage and set off from land, travel for about ten days to reach the capital. After all, the kingdom is not big.
This method is slower than the sea route, which is better than safety and trouble saving.
A big road leads to the capital, as long as the carriage keeps walking, it is right. The kingdom they are in is different from other kingdoms, so taking the land route is undoubtedly a good choice.
However, the next message made his decision completely die.
"Master Viscount, the carriage is ready, but..." The official in charge of inquiring about the news hesitated, wondering whether he should tell the news that the road leading to the king was occupied by the demon.
"You go down first." At this moment, Nick and Fafell walked in. Nick asked the internal affairs officer who belonged to him to go down and replied on his behalf: "The road leading to the capital was captured by the demons. Now the local army and the demon army are fighting lively. It is not good for us to join in the fun."
"The devil army has come to our country again?" Romon supported his forehead with some depression.
There are many countries on the mainland. In the past, after the demons in the county were repelled, the situation in other counties gradually stabilized when the state sent troops. Unexpectedly, another demon army appeared.
"The demon disaster in my territory has gradually subsided, but the glorious church of my country has suffered a devastating blow. The demon disaster in the neighboring country has a fleeing demon army that has come to us. The situation is not very serious, and there is no other way to go. Why join in the fun at this time? Although it is not very safe at sea, it is at least better than taking land." Nick said.
"Well, I have to do this. Is the Fifth Fleet back?" Romon asked immediately.
Another reason why he had to go by land was that the Fifth Fleet went out some time ago and patrolled at sea, and the mission was quite busy.
"Well, the Fourth Fleet of Blue Tu Island has replaced them. The territory is under construction. Why not transport another group of refugees over?" Nick suggested.
Nick is now an experienced chief of internal affairs. He knew that it would be too extravagant to use the entire fleet if he just went to the capital. But if only one or two warships escorted Romon to the sea, there were pirates in the sea and had a great grudge against the pirates. After leaving their sea area, the danger was greatly increased. This was not a good idea.
Since we have decided to take the sea route, why not let the Fifth Fleet set out and take the adults to the capital by the way.
Since they took Romon there by the way, Romon would not think that this was an extravagant and wasteful act.
Sure enough, after hearing this proposal, not only did Romon nod slightly, but even Fafel listened and agreed.
"Romon, let me accompany you to the capital, how about it?" Fafer really wanted to see the world.
Romon looked at him with some worries. It was nothing to bring one more person. There were not many upper-level officials in the territory who could trust. Lulun scholar rushed to Treasure Island some time ago to take charge of affairs.
Haiwawei became the mayor of a town and was responsible for a lot of things, so he had no time to take care of the defense of other places.
Sukar also became the mayor of Yuanfan Town. Every day, he not only had to be responsible for local financial affairs, but also maintained peace in the port, and there were many things.
Shabid is now the leader of a town.
Knights Vavik are in charge of the entire territory of the Knights and are very busy.
Now, there are no knights in Panshi Town.
The burden of the internal affairs officers in the entire territory was on Nick's side, and it was impossible to increase their work.
After all, it was Fafell's business for the temporary mayor of Panshi Town.
At present, only Fafell can make Romon trust and convince the entire territory.
The reason is that Fafer is a knight and one of the founders of the prototype of the entire territory guards. In this case, can Romon take Fafer away after he leaves?
The answer is of course, no.
"Fafell, it's not that I won't take you there. If you go to the capital with me, who will manage the defense affairs in the territory? My wife, Elini, is now seven months pregnant, can't let her manage it anymore, right?" Romon looked at Fafell and said.
"This..." Fafeer hesitated a little, and after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case.
If he followed him, who would care about the affairs in Panshi Town?
Let Nick deal with it together?
His eyes fell on Nick, and he felt that although this good friend's body was much better than in previous years, he still looked thin. It was hard to say that he would have to put his burden on Nick as well?
No, he can't do this, but who in the territory can still take on the defense of the entire territory except him?
Thinking of this, Fafell said with a wry smile: "Since that's the case, I won't go."
"Well, I'll leave the territory to you two, I'm not sure. If there is any big thing, I can summon Lulun scholars and others to discuss it. If I can't decide, I'll wait for me to come back." Romon told me.
"Don't worry, Romon, we will take good care of the territory, so you can go with confidence." Fafell said.
Romon touched his nose, why did he feel a strange feeling when he heard this?
The next two days were the preparations for the fleet before going to sea. Not only the preparations for supply, but the crew also took the time to go home at this time, got along with their relatives and family members, and explained things. Every time they went to sea, there was a risk, and they could not deprive the warmth they had before going to sea.
On August 25th, morning, sunny and breeze.
This day was the day when the Fifth Fleet set off. Romon took Lu Xiupei and the ten selected attendants to the main battleship of the Fifth Fleet together.
The gifts he prepared for the king and the princess were also placed on this warship.
Standing on the deck, looking at the coast gradually leaving, and looking at Nick and Fafell standing on the shore, Romon was not much sad. It didn't take long to come back, but he was a little disappointed when he didn't see his wife.
My wife is now seven months pregnant and is not suitable for blowing the sea breeze, nor is it suitable for this farewell scene. Romon did not let her come here in person. The women standing on the shore must be their wife's maids to come over for her.
In his pocket, there was a peace talisman made by his wife for him. Because it could not move the fetal energy, there was not much magical aura on this talisman, and it was more of a symbolic meaning. However, it was the wife's intention, so he carefully placed it in his pocket.
"Sir, the wind is strong at sea, you might as well go back to the cabin!" After a while, the wind gradually became stronger. Lu Xiupei appeared beside him as usual, reminding him to pay attention to his health.
"Well, okay, you can rest too. There will be no problems on the boat. When you arrive at the capital, you need to pay attention." Romon nodded, and while turning around, he said casually.
"Yes, sir!" Lu Xiupei said.
As a personal attendant, Lu Xiupei's task is very easy. When other attendants are there, they can take turns to replace them. When other attendants are there, they can definitely protect themselves with Romon's own strength.
To say that self-protection is actually an underestimation. Lu Xiupei is very clear about how much lethal a level nine druid has. In order to be able to stand next to Romon better and not be left out by the lord far away, he is now practicing very hard.
Except for defending, he practiced at other times. He maintained his movements for a long time in a special posture, and could effectively improve his own strength. This was something he had never thought about before. It was only after the lord clicked it once that he discovered this method.
No one is more suitable for this training method than him. Lord Romon said that even his good friend Lord Fafell could not use this method to train. Only he could be so tolerant and so tenacious.
He was very happy that he was the only one in one aspect, and he worked harder.
As he practiced again and again, he felt that in the battle, every move he made became accurate, stable, and ruthless. The feeling of stability took a long time to practice, and he had it.
This is not only for the cultivation and attention of adults, but more importantly, it is also for the position of a knight.
Lu Xiupei is now at the level of a fourth-level warrior, only one step away from level five. This step is the gap between heaven and earth. Although after the magic disaster, even if he has reached level five and has no merits, it will be difficult to become a knight all at once. He can only be awarded the position of "Addler Knight" first.
Perhaps after decades of long-term service, the lord may appreciate it, or be promoted to level 11 or above, or become a formal knight. This is the direction of efforts.
Only with the territory can one truly enter the ranks of noble families.
This is the goal of this world, all non-priests.
