Chapter 335

The three sailboats slowly entered the berth under the hard pull of the trackers.

Half an hour later, Quick led several sailors down the deck and onto the dock.

The northwest industry is selling more and more armaments to the kingdom's army. In addition, Arda also continues to deliver additional aid in exchange for the favor of the royal family. With the development of maritime transportation power, in order to avoid An accident occurred on the way, and Huxin Town became more and more dependent on transporting supplies by sea, which was a more secretive method.

This time the Nanfang escorted two cargo ships south to Westport. The three ships were filled with supplies to support the kingdom's army, mainly cans and armor and weapons.

They had not taken a few steps when a hearty voice sounded: "Haha, Captain Quirk, is it your turn this time?"

Quick opened his arms, "Oh, Viscount Dylan, it's been a long time." Missing.”

The two hugged each other very warmly.

In order to ensure safety during transportation, Huxin Town requires the Navy to allocate a warship to accompany each delivery.

Compared to other territories in the kingdom, the Northwest Gulf did not provide much supplies to the royal government at the beginning, but it was more stable and lasting. Since Arda clicked on the technology tree of blast furnace ironmaking and jointly built by all the lords, After the Northwest Industry, the supply of arms from the Northwest Gulf began to rise slowly. Of course, most of the arms needed to be exchanged by the royal government for real money.

Among the core power circles at the top of the kingdom, the Northwest Bay has begun to slowly get rid of the previous impression of a dispensable wilderness, and His Majesty the King has also become less worried about his little daughter. There are many supplies, and if you have money, you should live well there.

In order to make better use of this supply chain, the Royal Government has stationed dedicated liaison officials in Xigang to receive the incoming supplies.

Dylan is the highest-ranking person in charge. He is a viscount in his early thirties, and he is ready to work hard to accumulate qualifications for future promotions.

When he was sent here, he was still unhappy. Did he offend anyone? How could he be reduced to dealing with a group of country people? But when he saw the fleet arriving from the Northwest Gulf for the first time, and then boxes after boxes of supplies being carried off the ship, he immediately realized that this was a rare opportunity. Chance.

Quick handed him a document and said: "This is the list of supplies arriving this time. Please count it, Lord Viscount."

Dylan patted Quick on the shoulder and laughed: "Haha, you are not busy or not, you Northwest people are reliable in doing things."

What Quick and Dylan didn't know was that their meeting It has been seen by those who are interested. There was a galley docked quietly in another berth, and Edward and Nathan were still standing on the poop deck, observing them from a distance.

“Look at the clothes, they seem to be officials of the royal government.” Nathan said softly.

"The flag on that ship belongs to the Grayman family of the Northwest Bay. Yes, their red dragon logo is easy to recognize." Edward also said.

“It seems that Mr. Captain is very familiar with all the major families in the Northwest Gulf.”

"Humph, after all, I have been hanging out there for so many years... Well, wait."

Edward suddenly stopped talking and focused his attention on Quirk, who was having a pleasant conversation with Viscount Dylan. .

After a while, he laughed again, "Haha, I didn't expect to meet an old friend here."

"Old friend?" Nathan looked at Edward with interest.

“It’s nothing, we were acquaintances when we were pirates.”

"So is the other party...?"

"That's right, but now it seems that they have been absorbed by the Graiman family. It seems that the little brothers I left behind have indeed fallen into the hands of Graiman. "

"Now it seems that the northern lords are indeed strongly supporting the royal family, at least some people in the northwest bay are doing so."

...Quick ended his relationship with Viscount Dylan. According to the usual practice, he will lead the sailors who disembarked to find a tavern for a big drink. He led his excited men towards the center of Xigang City.

Everyone was chatting animatedly while walking. After wandering for more than half a month, it felt so good to be down to earth.

"You're fine."

An incomprehensible word came into his ears, and at the same time someone pushed him on the shoulder. Quick was startled and turned around in a hurry.

However, the person who passed him just now walked very fast and was immediately submerged in the bustling crowd. He just vaguely felt that there was a tall figure among them that he had seen somewhere, but he I can't piece together any specific memory.

“How strange!”

Quick muttered, maybe it was just an accident, and those words were not meant for him.

"Captain, what's wrong?"

The naval officer cadet Allen on the side noticed something unusual about the captain's Quaker and asked aloud.

“Huh? It’s nothing, let’s keep walking.”

……

In the afternoon of the next day, the three sailing ships including the South, which were being supplied, were ready to sail. Viscount Dylan saw off Quick and his party at the dock. Before the fleet arrived, the royal government officials in charge had already prepared the supplies for their journey north, so the supply was very fast.

"Captain Quick, there is something very important that I need your help with." Dylan said as he put his hand into his pocket and groped around.

"Please speak, Lord Viscount."

Dylan took out a letter and handed it to Quick, "Please give this letter to one of your people named Betty Dia. "Ms. Betty? She is the director of education here." Quick said, "Who wrote to her?" .”

Dylan shook his head, "I don't know about that. This letter comes from the palace. The person who sent the letter asked me to select a worthy person from your side to carry it to the northwest bay. Captain, I want you to be worthy." Competent enough."

"Haha, crazy, crazy, but I will definitely bring this letter."

"Well, please, I personally guess, from this Miss Betty. It seems that the surname is a relative of the queen?"

Quick was a little surprised, "What? That's incredible, that's incredible." He put the envelope away carefully.

While at Corner Bay, he had been shocked by the friendship between the female advisor Ladi Setia and Grand Duchess Helen. He did not expect that there was another person beside the lord who might be related to the royal family.

Quick patted his chest, reassured Dylan, and boarded the Southern as he waved goodbye.

The three sailboats were towed away from the berths by tugboats in turn, set sail and left the port, heading north.

Outside the sea of ​​Xigang, a galley was also slowly heading south. On the deck, Edward looked at Westport that was gradually moving away, his eyes full of coldness.

“Everyone from Aldo, when we come next time, there will be more than just the people we have now.”
