Chapter 72 The Black Continent Trade Line (Part 2)

On December 16, 1521, after the birth of the first apostle of Cyric, Ladislaus met the sexy female shipowner again.

Surprisingly, Ladislaus could still think of her after he fled to the world, and the female shipowner's embrace this time contained a little more warmth than before.

The power structure in the city of Liguria has changed, and the major groups are bound to re-divide the cake. Lasilis was ready to accept her fate and let a new powerful person control her route and body.

She just didn't expect that Young Master Milo suddenly brought back news that she couldn't believe. She thought that after Ladislaus and the nobles enjoyed it, it would be like a passing cloud. She didn't expect that his enemy was still thinking about him thousands of miles away.

Hold yourself.

He stroked his handsome lover's face again, and after many days and nights of entanglement, his dead husband finally no longer appeared in his dream.

Now you are the lover I long for day and night.

"What's wrong? It's only been a few days and you don't recognize me anymore?" Ladislaus was also very happy that Lasilis could escape the disaster in Liguria, so he joked with her happily.

"No, no, no, I'm so happy to see you, and it seems that you are a little different." Lasiris hugged Ladislaus tightly and said in his ear, today's Ladislaus

It seems to have changed a little from what I remembered.

"Oh, there is a difference, but you are also different, let me check it carefully." Ladislaus gently put his hand on his lover's buttocks while speaking loving words.

"Disgusting." Lasiris did not continue to pay attention to Ladislaus's hard heart because he had killed too many people and experienced many swords and swords.

Two lovers who had been separated for a short time now just urgently need a closed space, such as Ladislaus's carriage.

Boss Sirica carefully drove the carriage that had begun to vibrate to a hidden corner, and then he sat on the driver's seat, still alert.

Old John was responsible for entertaining the five captains and five first mates who came with Lasilis. As for the sailors, they also received a particularly generous bonus from Lasilis, and they couldn't wait to spend their money in taverns and brothels.

.

Although the specific details are currently only known to the captain and first mate level, most sailors also know that they will soon go to the Black Continent again. The future is uncertain, so they naturally have to enjoy themselves in time. Rome can only stay in one place.

Just at night.

Ladislaus has arranged local procurement matters in the past two days through the relationship of the Colonna family. Lasilis originally had three ships left by her husband in her name. This time, Ladislaus was originally waiting to be divided up by others.

Siris, after receiving the help of Major General Milo, was not only not divided up, but was also divided into two ships belonging to the Xibo camp family.

This time, Lasilis, who understood the situation, decided to personally lead a team to explore the Black Continent.

However, her five ships are all small and medium-sized sail and oar ships, all of which are no more than one hundred tons. The two smaller ships are only sixty tons, and together they are not as good as the 330-ton White Onyx.

However, Ladislaus did not dare to trust Captain Jack, not to mention that Lasiris had sent her entire family to Rome this time. The female shipowner was a sensible person, and she knew that even though Ladislaus treated her

There is indeed some truth, but if you want to be Ladislaus's agent in trade, you still have to follow the rules.

So this time, not only her parents, but also her parents-in-law, who were supported by her, had been sent to Rome a day earlier. Ladislaus had received the letter long ago, so they were well placed. Both old couples were

Devout Dark Sun believers are quite happy to be able to come to Rome to retire.

Among them, Lasiris's mother was so excited that an archbishop also came to visit her. Ladislaus only spent less than half an hour with him, and she praised the great God at least a hundred times.

If she saw the dignified Archbishop of Liguria helping his daughter out of the carriage, she didn't know whether she would be so excited that she would suffer a heart attack.

Under the protection of Sirica, Ladislaus and Lasilis came to the monastery where old Xibo lived. Anna was very clear about the relationship between Ladislaus and Lasilis, which was surprising to Ladislaus.

To Dislaus's surprise, Anna seemed not to care much about the female shipowner.

Caligula-Cybo gave Lasiris many letters of introduction written by the old Cibo.

In the past, Lasilis could only engage in small-scale trade between Liguria, Sicily and Tunisia, which basically consisted of Ligurian shipping equipment, Sicilian grain, and Orc slaves captured by the Tunisian Sultan from desert tribes.

These large quantities of low-value commodities, just these, made Lasiris worried, and she had to be wary of the evil wolf at all times.

In the end, he had to be bitten severely by the pervert Ladislaus.

Looking at the passionate female shipowner, Master Caligula actually felt something in his heart.

Once upon a time, the dignified eldest son of the Xibo family and the treasurer of Liguria could easily get this beauty in front of him.

At that time, it seemed that I had never felt that this one stood out among the many beauties. After knowing that her brother Cesare was interested in her, although she could not give up on the important matter of fighting for power, in this matter, Caligula, the elder brother,

I don't want to be tit-for-tat anymore, and I don't really care.

Now this former socialite is taking over the Xibo family's trade line in the Black Continent.

And the owner of her and these trade lines was Ladislaus, who was once a second-rate nobleman and could not get into his circle.

Why doesn't this make him sad?

As the governor of Liguria, the trade routes that the Sibo family once owned were not comparable to the small business of Lasiris, which could barely maintain itself.

Dyes from Tunisia, gold from Algiers, spices from the Atlas Mountains, and drow slaves who have nothing in common with those stinking orcs.

The Black Continent is separated by the Sahara Desert that runs from east to west. The north is a city-state established by nomads. Basically, like the Ottomans in the east, they believe in the Great Demon of the Star and Moon.

To the south of the desert, there are many drow city-states. These beautiful and powerful beings are the best trophies that humans can get. However, it is not easy to capture a drow. The drow who believe in the goddess Ross are very ferocious.

Good at fighting, a drow city-state with a population of a few thousand can often enslave a hundred thousand orc slaves, and a large city with tens of thousands of drow can clear out a small surrounding kingdom.

However, the drow's agricultural technology is underdeveloped and cannot build a large enough kingdom. After all, city-states are no match for powerful human countries with millions of people. In particular, city-states cannot maintain a navy. Without a navy, there is no mobility and they will be beaten everywhere when defending.

, the army of the Kingdom of Portugal always has a local advantage relying on the sea, and the drow can only retreat steadily. In the past fifty years, they have abandoned most of their coastal strongholds and retreated to the depths of the continent.

In addition to these trade goods, coupled with Ladislaus's relationship with the emperor, he could obtain sufficient salt and fish from Sicily. Once this trade route was stabilized, Ladislaus could establish an unstoppable trade route.

Small force.

Of course, how much of the Xibo family's interests in the Black Continent Ladislaus can inherit depends entirely on Ladislaus's own management. There is a long gap between having a promising future and being truly successful.

It’s just that this has nothing to do with the Xibo family. If the Xibo family sees that the key is to regain the power of Liguria, without this base camp, all relations are in vain, and if they can win back the Republic of Liguria, there is no benefit.

.

In the evening, Lacilis also visited the Colonna family and had dinner together. Marchioness Facchetti only sat for two minutes before excused herself and left the dinner. But the old Colonna didn't care about such a trivial matter.

Liz went to develop trade and gave some words of encouragement.

After all, Ladislaus cannot take advantage of the Colonna family team in vain, and must share the profits. Old Colonna also hopes that this agent will not only have good looks, but also have good talents.

However, in terms of personnel issues, he showed great respect. It was only after Ladislaus invited him that he appointed several members of the Colonna family's general branch.

After losing her son, the old Mrs. Colonna was deeply affected and very haggard. She almost stopped attending social activities, but prayed in the chapel day and night, completely entrusting her life to her faith.

Susan is now basically the hostess of the Colonna family in social activities, and her departure made the scene very tense.

Lasiris noticed her mistress' displeasure. Although she was a little jealous that Ladislaus had found a new love so quickly, she was still unwilling to offend this lover's important ally and cause trouble to Ladislaus. She refused.

They spent the night at the Colonna Palace, but Ladislaus reciprocated and insisted on going to the ship to spend the night with Lasilis, which made the female shipowner very happy.

Lasilis also put on a particularly attractive black stocking. Although Lasilis wondered why Ladislaus didn't remember the design he mentioned, the two were extremely excited.

No one paid too much attention to such trivial matters, they all thought it was a bit of interest from their lover.

Early the next morning, the crew and porters loaded various commodities onto Ladislaus's fleet. By noon, Jack

The captain gave an order, and under the leadership of the White Agate, six merchant ships sailed out of the Tiber River one after another and headed for the Mediterranean.

Ladislaus looked at Lasilis who was waving at the dock, looking forward to her not only returning safely, but also returning home with a full load.

The task of "establishing the Black Continent trade route" is very, very important.

The teachings of Admiral Andre Doria once again appeared in front of Ladislaus.

"Whoever controls the world's oceans controls the world's trade. Whoever controls the world's trade controls the world's wealth. Whoever controls the world's wealth controls the world itself."

This remarkable man and his sonorous and powerful words appeared in front of Ladislaus again. Whose hands will this world fall into?
