Mark's next actions confirmed the views of the eldest princess and her staff.
After negotiating the renovation plan with the Chkalov Shipyard, Mark left the ship to the shipyard and went hunting on the island with his cronies.
One of the bosses behind the shipyard happened to be the eldest princess. Originally, she planned to renovate the ship for Mark at the lowest price. Unexpectedly, Mark had many requests. Many decoration materials were not even available in the port of Austin, and she needed to go to the empire or even the mainland.
Yu in turn went to the Wright Empire to purchase.
Fortunately, since someone greeted the eldest princess and left such a big demon general standing next to the port, there is a high probability that there will be no [ice sea swarm] incident this winter. The shipping route is open and the procurement is complete.
Not a problem.
In addition, this wealthy guest-opera writer has endless royalties. Not to mention that he spent a lot of money to renovate the ship, and even the cost of the crew and maids ashore were covered.
This guy was so extravagant that he owned an entire vacant rental manor, which turned out to be a vacation manor owned by a marquis. The marquis turned to the Church of Sin and was deprived of his title. The emperor confiscated his property, but he couldn't sell it.
Mark rented it for a short period of time and lived in the main house with his cronies, leaving the side room for the servants.
It should be said that it is worthy of being the original Marquis Manor, and it is more than enough to accommodate nearly a thousand people.
Mark's benefits to the guards and servants were always good, but as a result, they had no money to spend, so they started buying and selling at the port, which actually promoted the short-term prosperity of the port.
After doing the math, Anastasia found out after listening to the financial officer's report that even if she didn't intentionally earn more marks, based on the gross profit rate of the existing industry, in the end she could still earn more than 500 just by changing the ship.
million lite dollars.
This does not include private profits.
The standard of eating, drinking and eating for hundreds of people is not low, which is a considerable amount of income for a transit port.
Not to mention that as soon as the extra navigation period came out, the merchant ships that were originally running business between the two empires immediately gathered around like sharks smelling fishy smell. The bustling waterway made the eldest princess make a fortune.
"My Goddess of Ice and Snow, this Mr. Destiny is my lucky star!" The eldest princess took off her glasses that hindered her image, rubbed her eyebrows, and her ice blue eyes flashed with a strange look.
Natasha echoed: "He restrains his men very well - these days there are only two servants of the Destiny family who are drunk and causing trouble. Our police constable has not arrived yet, a Destiny who was born in the Church of Storms.
The Tianni family guards first threw the two drunken servants into the sea, drowned them half to death, and then fished them back out. They also compensated the shop owner for his losses according to the market price."
Boris, the leader of the Ice Knights standing nearby, also lamented: "Mr. Destiny's rule is strict and he hates evil. If there are more young heroes like this, there will be a lot less strife and disasters in the world."
Mark, who was praised wildly by Anastasia, had nothing to do except occasionally look at the ship's renovation status.
It seems that his rapid promotion has stimulated the followers around him. One or two of them are practicing hard. Helena ran to the Mechanicum branch in the port of Austin, saying that she wanted to thoroughly understand the mysterious book given to her by McDonald.
version of the mecha building blueprint.
Renne and Conrad borrowed a medium-sized boat to go out to sea, saying they wanted to practice the power of lightning.
Only Hank and his family knights were left to protect Mark.
Well, in fact, Rosalind and Mark's own combat power is strong enough. In the absence of external enemies, the security force is overflowing.
Mark is very bored.
That's all the entertainment in this era: there were only two radio stations in the port of Austin for people to pass the time.
More elegant entertainment... The most elegant thing in this era is the opera house. It's not that Mark deliberately made Port Austin bad, the small theater here is not half as good as the opera house on the Caribbean.
When the eldest princess tentatively invited him to perform, he decisively refused.
Don’t go!
Lose your share!
The only thing that can make Mark even remotely interested is hunting.
Normally, the local prey will be greatly reduced in early November. Even if the eldest princess allows Mark to use her hunting grounds, there are many beasts that cannot be hunted. For example, bears.
But someone has three sets of visual systems.
"Have you seen the hill in front of you? Throw a small explosive pack into the hole next to the rock on the left that looks a bit like a gourd." Mark pointed casually, and naturally his followers went to work.
Throw in a small packet of TNT.
"Bang!"
"Roar--" The roar of the two-headed giant bear that was awakened echoed in the valley.
If in the past, Marianne and Yolanda, two pretty girls, would have turned pale and screamed if they had heard this roar.
Now...
Little Bear, you are very energetic!
The two-headed giant bear weighing more than a ton ran out and chased it angrily. The followers immediately rode on horseback and made various temptations to lure the giant bear to the open space.
The snow-white ground and the burly bear make this painting look very retro.
Mark raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation
His maids all took out their shotguns and fired at the big bear.
After following Mark for so long, everyone finally discovered someone's XP. Except for Yaerdai and other maids who had a relationship with Mark at the beginning, Mark would not touch any of the subsequent maids, no matter how beautiful they were.
Anyone who can get close to Mark is capable and competent.
Everyone is beginning to envy Princess Marian. Not to mention her noble status, she has just been promoted to Sequence 8. At this speed, it feels like it is only a matter of time.
In reality, it is not that simple to become an extraordinary person, but this does not prevent them from working hard in their own way.
There was a burst of gunfire, and the poor bear was shot, and his white fur was all stained red with blood.
The girls hurriedly fired bullets, and when they saw the wildly charging bear, more than half of them missed.
Anyway, after a sporadic burst of gunfire in the second round, the miserable bear who was almost beaten into a sieve finally rushed to the street.
A burst of warm cheers broke out from the maid team.
"Yeah!"
"Did we really hunt such a big bear?"
"I can't believe I did it myself!"
Mark smiled and clapped to encourage the girls.
For a group of mortal women, he couldn't ask for more.
Then they successfully hunted two elk and three roe deer.
This hunting trip was a fruitful one.
There was a barbecue party in the temporary camp, and Mark only became interested when he ate venison sprinkled with cumin.
"Are you bored?" Rosalind asked softly.
Mark said frankly: "A little bit. After all, I was either with the Knights of the Apocalypse, the Seven Deadly Sins, or various evil spirits. After experiencing a lot of thrilling things, I no longer have any interest in ordinary hunting."
"Have a good rest in order to go a further distance." Rosalin said.
It was okay if she didn't say it, but as soon as she said it, she immediately noticed that Mark was staring at her, and then glanced at the carriage.
Rosalin's face turned red instantly. She clearly felt the unique passion of young people in Mark's eyes. The strong hormones also burned her heart, and she acquiesced to Mark's next excessive behavior.
Mark leaned over and quietly enjoyed the smooth touch...
After returning from the hunt, Mark received an invitation to the ball from Princess Anastasia.
Rather than saying he was surprised, he was more surprised that it took the princess so long to organize a dance.
For the extravagant royal family of the Bill Empire, this style of painting is already very un-royal.
When people are under the roof, they should still be given the face they deserve.
The venue for this dance has obviously been renovated, and it is truly magnificent this time.
Mark seriously suspected that the eldest princess had put half of the last gold she had on hand on the wall of the ballroom. If he hadn't known something about the amount of money the eldest princess had made recently, he even thought about whether she was the most beautiful at the ball today.
Girl, I’m going to sleep on the street tomorrow.
If you wear an evening dress twice, you will be laughed at by other nobles.
Why would I rather pawn my gold jewelry than buy a set of new clothes that are tailor-made, only used once, and suitable for aristocratic status?
It is a common thing among the down-and-out nobles to do all kinds of tricks to make people look fat.
Sometimes the evil-minded nobles know that the other party is in distress and send out invitations to the dance like crazy. They are really determined to beat you to death.
Mark didn't feel much about it. He brought Marianne as his companion to the eldest princess's ball just to give him face.
When the eldest princess introduced a certain marquis, a certain earl, etc., he could deal with it with just a few casual greetings.
Who knows, he originally thought that he would change the ship and leave without any danger.
Sometimes, when he doesn't want to punish him, he just comes to punish him!
The band has just finished playing the prelude, and now is the most crucial first dance.
As the lord of this place, the eldest princess is very particular about who she dances the first dance with. Combined with her identity, she may even become a political bellwether.
Mark, who was originally holding a plate of small cakes and preparing to make soy sauce as a passerby, was surprised to see the eldest princess walking towards him with the hem of her aqua blue evening dress in hand.
Mark was completely Spartan.
It stands to reason that as the great hero who saved the port of Austin and his status is so high, it is not impossible for the princess to invite him to dance.
But in Mark's vision of destiny, he was shocked to see that, let alone the princess, there were dark threads of fate trying to wrap themselves up in the far reaches of the surrounding area.
Mark suddenly remembered a sentence - some people should not be too close, because when she is struck by lightning, she may hurt you.
All the unreasonable things that happened to the eldest princess in the past came to Mark's mind:
Why does the dignified eldest princess of the empire not marry outside, stay with the emperor, but stay in a borderland of this empire?
Why is Anastasia like a feudal lord, taking full responsibility for her own profits and losses?
Why was the defense of the port of Austin so weak before?
Everything shows that the princess is trapped in a huge whirlpool, and even her identity as a saint of the Ice and Snow Goddess can't save her!
For a moment, Mark wanted to escape by borrowing urine.
The eldest princess walked up to Mark and curtsied: "Your Excellency Mark Destiny, the great hero who saved the lives of tens of thousands of people in Austin! I wonder if I, little girl, have the honor to dance with you?"
It's useless to keep your posture very low.
The fate dice flew out on its own, with a [20] point!
