Chapter 173 Alliance Capital
After staying at Messiah for another day, Ladi and her family packed their luggage and prepared to go to the Kakuwan Alliance.
The store had been transferred to someone else before she returned home. Because of the long journey and taking a boat to the north, the large furniture was also transferred.
The family only carried light items such as coins, jewelry, and clothing, hired a carriage, and left Messiah.
Lisa looked very excited about going to a strange environment, and kept asking about the customs and customs of the Northwest Bay around La Di.
"Uh... you'll know when you get there."
La Di felt a little guilty and didn't know if the child could adapt to the environment there.
As soon as they left the city gate, they saw everyone from the Leachman Adventure Group waving constantly on the roadside.
We said goodbye yesterday, do these old friends still want to see her?
The energetic female leader jumped into the car.
"Hey! Ladi, we just took on a mission to go to the alliance!"
"So, let's go together!"
"Uh... ok!"
The female consultant happily responded that it would be great to have these friends with her on the road, and they could spend some time together.
The carriage continued to move, and everyone talked all the way.
"What commission did you accept this time?"
"This is an incredible commission! You can definitely make a lot of money!"
"Oh?"
< br>"A big thing happened in the Principality of Eton recently!"
"The Principality of Eton? The principality next to the Horn League? What big thing happened?"
"The Grand Duke's sister-in-law - the Grand Duke's biological sister has disappeared in the Kakuwan Alliance."
"What?"
Ladi's face showed a very shocked expression, her reaction It was a bit unexpected for Meru.
Seemingly noticing that she was allergic, the female consultant quickly returned to her normal expression and asked calmly: "In other words, the Principality of Eaton issued a commission in the Adventurer's Guild?"
"Humph! The Duke of Eton and the alliance naturally couldn't bear this face at first, but their police officers seemed to be a bunch of losers, and they couldn't even find a little girl. As the days passed, there was no information at all. No, they had no choice but to issue commissions in the adventurer guilds in major cities.”
A look of deep concern appeared on La Di's face: "The Grand Duke must be very anxious. Her sister should be her only close relative."
"Huh? La Di, you know the Grand Duke so well. Concubine? Do you know her? "
"Ah? No. But the Grand Duchess has always been popular among the people in the Principality of Eton, and her reputation is widely spread. I learned a lot about her from others. "
"It seems that you are quite worried about her."
"For a ruler like her who cares about the sufferings of the people, I will naturally sympathize deeply with her when she encounters such a thing. ”
...
After another two days of sailing, the Southern finally arrived at Nisberg, the capital of the Horn Alliance and the largest port in the alliance.
Everyone entered the port, and as soon as they boarded the pier, someone came to them.
The visitor spoke fluent Aldo: "Are you the distinguished guests from Alda?"
Quick asked doubtfully: "Are you?"
< br>
"I am the deacon of the Foster family, and I have been ordered to wait for you at the dock."
It turned out that after the nearest caravan brought back the news that Grayman was about to send a ship south, the Foster family started to wait for you every day. Send someone to keep an eye on the dock. According to the description of Queller, the second young master of the family, the ship from Arda is easy to identify - there is no oar, and there is a thick and tall mast with a huge sail on it, so it must be the ship.
The deacon explained the whole story, and Quick shook his hand gratefully and said, "The Foster family is really hospitable! Thank you!"
" Wherever we are, we always have enough enthusiasm for our partners.”
The deacon of the Foster family extended an invitation to Quick on behalf of the second young master of his family to stay at the mansion temporarily.
"Thank you, but the other people on the boat..."
"I brought a few people with me, and let them serve as guides to lead other guests around the city. During this period We cover all expenses.”
“How embarrassing!”
“Yes, guest.”
"Please wait a moment."
Quick immediately returned to the ship and convened a brief meeting with all the officers and soldiers on the ship. Finally, it was decided that he would lead the two sailors to the Foster family's mansion. The people who got off the boat went ashore in batches for excursions under the arrangement of the chief mate.
He emphasized that every group of people who came ashore must be led by an officer, and emphatically stated the confidentiality regulations. No matter what happened on the ship, no matter how the other party asked, no one was allowed to reveal a word.
Just as Quick was about to leave with the deacon of the Foster family, several business representatives came up to them. They tearfully asked Quick to take them with him.
Quick agreed after thinking about it. After getting the deacon's permission, they got into the two carriages sent by the Foster family.
After galloping for nearly an hour, the carriage finally stopped at the door of a magnificent mansion.
The boldness and magnificence of this house once again shocked the bumpkins from the Northwest Bay.
“I heard that the head of the Foster family is a member of the Corner Bay Alliance Council, and the place he lives in is indeed extraordinary.”
“Yes, this area can be compared to five or six A lord’s palace, right?”
“Look at this decoration, look at this marble, it’s much better than a castle made of stone.”
Everyone was talking to each other in low voices. Although they tried to keep their voices down, a few words still reached the ears of the Foster family's deacon.
The deacon puffed out his chest and showed a proud look on his face.
However, he still introduced everyone in a gentle and respectful voice: "Dear guests, we are here. This is the residence of the Foster family."
He took the lead to get out of the carriage. , stood at the door of the car and bowed slightly with a "please" gesture.
Everyone twisted around uneasily. To be honest, this was the first time they had enjoyed this kind of treatment. Both Quick and several business representatives were civilians. No one had ever treated them in such a way that seemed elegant. ceremonial actions.
They guessed in their hearts: "This should be the legendary noble etiquette, right?"
Then they had questions: "But I have never seen Earl Grayman being so particular."
>"Uh-huh! Brothers, let's get off the carriage."
Quick reacted and reminded others to get off the carriage. At this time, Mr. Deacon still maintained the posture of inviting others, motionless, but when he heard Quick's rough words almost made him laugh.
“Oh! Good, good.”
Everyone straightened their postures first, and then stood up. With stiff smiles on their faces, they slowly walked out of the carriage with serious movements.
The deacon closed the door for them, the coachman waved his whip, and the two carriages left the gate.
"Everyone, please follow me in."
Everyone followed the deacon anxiously, sweating profusely.
Today they have put on what they think is the most appropriate clothes, but compared with the servant of the Foster family in front of them, they are simply old hats, and they are too cheap.
