The rays of the setting sun fell on the sea, turning the waves of the entire St. Helena port into crimson...
The current port of St. Helena, thanks to the huge increase in trade and personnel exchanges with the ice and snow wasteland in recent years, is more prosperous than when Zhang Tie first came here five years ago.
The Narwhal that arrived at the port was moored at a newly opened section of pier berth in St. Helena Port, allowing arriving passengers to disembark.
According to the itinerary, the Narwhal will stay at St. Genna Island for two days. Two days later, this luxury ship belonging to the Sinara Steamship Company will set off for Akurey Island, taking the entire Evindara
After going around several large islands and important islands in the archipelago, it will finally return to Sinera Island to complete the rest of its journey.
This kind of journey is easy and comfortable, and it is the favorite way of leisure travel for the wealthy people in Evindara.
In the past, the rich people in Awendara liked to hang out in the Blackson Human Corridor. But now, the entire Blackson Human Corridor is full of wars, and those rich people no longer have such interest. In contrast, stay away from
The Evandara Islands and the ice and snow wilderness on the mainland are like a paradise at this time.
The fishing and shipping industries of the entire Evandara Islands experienced explosive growth. A large number of people fled from the Blackson Human Corridor. The rich brought gold coins and spending power, and the poor brought demand and cheap food.
The labor force, and the combination of the two, made the entire Ewendala more prosperous in the past few years after the outbreak of the Holy War.
The passengers on the Narwhal are disembarking, because St. Helena Island is relatively close to the ice and snow wasteland. It is a transit point for trade between the ice and snow wasteland and the Evandara Islands. Here, you can buy many authentic specialties from the ice and snow wasteland.
The price is cheap and the quantity is abundant, which is very attractive.
…
"Sir, the Narwhal will leave St. Genna in two days, that is, at 16:00 on September 27th. Please bring your ticket and pay attention to the return time!"
When Zhang Tie walked down the ship's ladder, the ship's staff standing at the entrance of the ship's ladder kindly reminded him. They did not realize that Zhang Tie was a temporary hitchhiker.
Zhang Tie smiled and left the Narwhal from the ladder.
The pier was bustling and crowded. People who got off the Narwhal were immediately surrounded by a bunch of vendors selling various trinkets. Zhang Tie passed through the crowd of vendors and finally squeezed out from the pier.
.
Standing on the street outside the dock that he had visited a few years ago, Zhang Tie felt familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.
At this moment, Zhang Tie saw a large number of trucks driving into the dock from a distance. The trucks stopped, and many soldiers from the St. Helena City Defense Department with weapons jumped out of the trucks and began to gather.
"The first company is responsible for the east area of the pier, the second company is responsible for the west area of the pier, the third company is responsible for the security of several streets near the pier, and the fourth company conducts mobile patrols. Anyone who encounters trouble will be resolutely suppressed!" A major officer shouted loudly to those cars.
The soldiers who jumped down gave instructions. Then with a wave of their hands, the gathered soldiers dispersed and began to perform their tasks.
There were probably thousands of soldiers who suddenly arrived, which made many people near the dock inexplicably surprised. They all looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Zhang Tie was also watching, feeling the sudden restlessness and tension in the air on St. Helena Island.
A slight commotion came from a commodity trading hall near the pier. Someone rushed out from the commodity trading hall, waving something in his hand, and shouted loudly, as if he was stimulated, "Just now from
News came from the trading group on the other side of the Ice and Snow Wasteland that a few hours ago, the North Wind Fleet in the Ice and Snow Wasteland had left Eskil City with a triumphal flag..."
The man's shouting confused many people on the street, but those who could understand suddenly changed their expressions.
There was a slight chaos on the street, but basically the order was still there. It was just that some people speeded up their pace when they heard the news, and when a car drove out of the parking space next to the entrance of the commodity trading hall, because of the speed
It was too fast, too urgent, and I couldn't get out of the way at once, and I got hit by a taxi, causing a local traffic jam.
Zhang Tie rubbed his chin, smiled, and raised his hand. A taxi stopped in front of him, and Zhang Tie got in.
"Sir, where do you want to go?" the driver turned around and asked him.
"Hyland Castle!"
"That costs one silver coin and forty copper plates!"
Zhang Tie nodded, and the driver started to drive the car.
…
After leaving the dock, the situation on the street seemed inexplicably tense. You could see more and more soldiers on duty on the street everywhere. The driver who didn't know what was going on muttered, "Ah, we are trying to arrest serious criminals."
What?"
Zhang Tie closed his eyes and imagined four calculations in his mind again. After almost twenty minutes, the car stopped. Zhang Tie opened his eyes and found that the car could no longer move. A group of people
Soldiers from the City of St. Helena City Defense Department were setting up roadblocks and blocking the road ahead.
The driver got out of the car, went up to negotiate for a few words, and then came back with a sad face.
"Sir, I'm sorry, the city defense department has blocked the road in front. From here, walk two kilometers further to Hailan Fort, but you can't walk now, so I can only send you here!"
Zhang Tie frowned slightly, then took out a gold coin and handed it to the driver.
"Oh, I can't find a gold coin!" the driver said in embarrassment.
"No need to look for it!" Zhang Tie got out of the car.
For these ordinary people who rely on hard work and strength to make a living, Zhang Tie became generous after becoming a nouveau riche in Tokeyi City and leaving the Cernes War Zone. A gold coin has no feeling at all to Zhang Tie at this moment, but a gold coin is
For these ordinary people, it can make them happy for a while. It may be possible to help them at a critical moment. You can buy someone's joy with a gold coin and at the same time make yourself happy. Zhang Tie feels that it is worth it.
The driver was stunned, and then he said with excitement, "Ah, sir, do you want to go somewhere else? I can't go to Hailanbao. I can take you there. My name is Basa. I often pull cars near the dock. Remember
My license plate number, I won’t charge you for your next ride!”
This is the kindness of ordinary people. Zhang Tie smiled, waved to the driver, and then walked towards the checkpoint blocking the road.
The driver stopped the car on the side of the road before leaving, as if waiting for Zhang Tie to come back from hitting the wall so that he could pull Zhang Tie back.
"Stop, this road is now blocked and no one can pass!" Two soldiers stopped Zhang Tie.
"I want to go to Hailan Castle!" Zhang Tie said calmly to the two ordinary soldiers without getting angry.
"You are going to Hailan Fort!" A lieutenant officer at the checkpoint heard Zhang Tie's words and turned around. He looked at Zhang Tie with vigilant eyes and looked Zhang Tie up and down. "You are Hailan Fort?"
People from the business group?”
"no!"
"Then why are you going to Hailan Castle?"
"This has nothing to do with you!" Zhang Tie replied calmly.
The lieutenant officer was furious, "Arrest him!"
All the surrounding soldiers gathered around and wanted to take Zhang Tie down. Zhang Tie shook his head and waved his hand. Including the officer, all the more than ten soldiers at the checkpoint fell more than ten meters away, one by one.
I was knocked unconscious from the fall, but it was not fatal.
Before those people could get up, Zhang Tie suddenly jumped into the air and flew directly towards Hailan Castle.
…
Outside Hailan Fort, dozens of armored vehicles and more than 5,000 soldiers from the St. Helena City Defense Department are surrounding Hailan Fort. The gate of Hailan Fort is closed tightly, and all the city defense weapons on the castle are pointing at the Saint Helena Castle surrounding Hailan Fort.
For those soldiers from the Nancheng City Defense Department, the situation on the scene was full of gunpowder.
The stout Kita was wearing armor and standing on the fort wall with a frosty face, "Major General Dim, what does the City Defense Department mean? Why are they surrounding our Hailan Fort!"
"It's nothing interesting. It's just that the patriarch of our Finn family wants to invite Mrs. Olena to stay in St. Helena City for two days!" A man wearing a major general's uniform stood on the roof of an armored vehicle and talked to Kita.
"Fart, if that old man wants to see our wife, let him come to Hailan Castle in person!"
"Unfortunately, if Mrs. Olina hasn't thought about it in another hour, then we will have no choice but to use force!" Major General Diem said coldly.
"Really?" A voice suddenly came from the sky, resounding throughout the audience, and then under the witness of more than 5,000 City Defense Department soldiers, a figure fell from the sky and slowly landed on the top of Hailan Castle.
, everyone’s expressions changed drastically.
Zhang Tie smiled at Kita who was looking at him dumbfounded, then turned to look at the more than 5,000 soldiers from the City Defense Department outside Hailan Castle, and said in a voice that everyone could hear, "Within an hour
, let the patriarch of the Fein family come to Hailan Castle to see me. If he doesn’t come after this time, then what you just said to Hailan Castle is what I said to the Fein family!"
"You...you are..." Major General Dim's mouth was dry and his feet felt weak, and he almost couldn't stand on the armored vehicle.
"I am Peter, Peter Hampres, the king of the ice and snow wasteland, and the future ruler of the northern seas. From this moment on, I declare that the entire Hailan Castle will be under my protection."
Zhang Tie's voice was not loud, but it had a shocking power that reached people's hearts. When the name of Peter Humpreis was heard in everyone's ears, it was like a burst of muffled thunder rolling across the sky, shaking everyone's fingers.
The tip is a little numb...
Behind a window in Hailan Castle, a pair of beautiful cyan eyes stared closely at the figure falling from the sky. When they heard the man's last words, those beautiful cyan eyes became moist.
Mrs. Olina left the window, her face was calm but her chest was heaving. She walked to the dressing table and sat down. She called the maid next to her and asked the maid to dress her up carefully... (To be continued...)
