Chapter 3 News from the Sea

"Can you disturb you, Andrea?" The man who walked up to him looked about forty years old, but he was respectful to the young man in front of him. Obviously, he was not very good at the position among the many Genoese nobles on the ship, compared to his older age.

But the young man mixed the other party's solemn expression with a different meaning in his eyes, so he nodded, "Of course there is no problem, Lord Fernan." Andrea then stood up and left the cabin with the middle-aged man in front of him, and walked directly to the deck, leaving only other nobles on the bumpy boat who were resting.

"When did Fernan Piero get so close to Andrea's child!" As the two left behind disappeared, in the silent cabin, an elderly noble suddenly said to himself meaningfully.

"It's really strange. You must know that the Doria family has always looked down on foreign nouveau riche like Fernan." At this time, another noble man next to him couldn't help but tease him.

The Doria family undoubtedly has a huge weight in Genoa. It has accumulated over many years, has been a governor and has generals. Its prestige is naturally self-evident, and its self-proud family style is also famous. Since Genoa is a city of merchants, outsiders can easily gain a place as long as they have the ability. For most Genoa nobles, this is already accustomed to it and are willing to make friends, but the Doria family has never slandered it.

So today Andrea Doria's reaction made the other nobles present a little surprised and curious.

As their identities, they will naturally not be able to find a shame to ask the bottom line, but they still can't help but guess some of the root causes.

"It's indeed a bit strange, but it's not difficult to understand. After all, that guy Fernan has made a lot of money in the Black Sea in recent years. It's better for him to join the Genoa aristocratic circle to please the Doria family! I believe that even you here will be very interested in the Black Sea." At this moment, a nobleman showed the reason in a calm manner. The atmosphere changed immediately as the sentence fell.

Black Sea...

Speaking of this, everyone's eyes flashed for a moment. That place has always been an unexplored area for the whole of Europe, because the Romans who strangled the throat of the strait have always prohibited outsiders from being involved. But everyone understands that there is huge wealth and opportunity. As the war between the *** and the Crusaders intensifies, the crusad territory in the Levant is shrinking, and the old trade routes will sooner or later be maintained. Therefore, a new trade route is imminent. Black Sea

It is undoubtedly the best choice. The Roman Empire is now split and should be the best opportunity, but the Latin Empire in Constantinople is not stupid at all. Even the Venetians were unable to surrender to enter the Bosphorus. The Fernanpiero they mentioned was one of the few people who successfully smuggled in. The man not only had a nautical chart in the Black Sea area but also had a private stronghold, which could be imagined.

"Haha, it seems that even the Doria family can't sit still. Even the child Andrea was sent out. It seems that he is determined to win."

"It's really enviable! There are excellent children like Andrea in the Doria family, and even such things can be done. It's not like us who have to drag our old bones in person."

"Be content, how many people are in the world who are as popular as that boy? What's more, even the best young people come out to explore, in order to temper and accept the guidance of their elders, this is the value we have come out."

Their joking jokes made each other seem much happier in the dull cabin, but in fact no one dared to take these nobles lightly.

I don’t know what the two people who left were discussing. It’s a pity! Everyone’s true thoughts are actually like this. In the Republic of Genoa, although the struggles of the nobles are not as fierce as Venice and as insidious as the Romans, they are selfish enough. Everyone is jealous of the friendship between Fernan and the Doria family and the emergence of the young man named Andrea. Even this time, the matter is related to the cooperation with Epirus, and these nobles are now thinking without hesitation about how to stumbling over the Doria family.

"What's so anxious? I've told you not to get too close to me when necessary, as this will cause unnecessary trouble." As soon as I went on the deck, seeing that there was no one around, Andrea immediately changed into another face and looked at the man in front of me and asked. Although the family had indeed reached an agreement with this man, I always hoped not to attract attention as much as possible. However, the actions just now can imagine that those people in the cabin could not not notice anything.

But Fernan in front of him handed a small note to Andrea Doria, and what he said next immediately changed the face of this young man who had always been calm.

"This is the news sent by my subordinates in the east with carrier pigeons. The things you asked me to investigate have already fallen into. Because you asked me to tell you as soon as I got the news, I dared not delay any effort and came here. Please forgive my recklessness."

Andrea Doria, who had snatched the note, quickly looked at the content written on it. He was anxious and had been waiting for the news for more than half a year, and finally his hard work paid off.

"Rusnina..."

The young man, who was slightly surprised by this coincidence, was very surprised by the person he was looking for, at this time, it seemed that he was in Rusnina, Epirus, and coincided with his destination. However, a smile quickly appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but shake his head slightly and said, "If it were that guy, how could it be a coincidence? Always like this, I really can't do anything about it..." There was a hint of helplessness in his smile, but Andrea's face obviously showed that he had finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Nodded, the young man looked at Fernanpiero in front of him and immediately had a very different attitude, and said earnestly: "I really want to worry, you are all due to your care during this period. You can rest assured to cover all the matters about you and your family."

"Then I'll ask you all, Andrea."
