It was night, and countless stars lit up the dark sky. It had been a long time since I had seen such a scene on a moonless night, and Norman was in a much better mood. In the distance were hundreds of tile-roofed houses built on the hillside, although it was close to midnight.
, but many residents have not yet fallen asleep. From a distance, you can see that the night market is still open, and many residents are still buying fruits or clothes. As the largest trading city in the Eastern Continent, Constantinople is a famous city that never sleeps in the entire Eastern Continent.
.
Tonight, the passenger ship snatched by the Birmingham family will sail into the Royal Port of Constantinople under the control of the helmsman. Legend has it that the first emperor of Constantinople grabbed a handful of white clay on the sand leading to the sea.
, while speaking to the sea: This is the place where gold is produced. The name of Port Royal spreads. Port Royal is the largest trading port in the Eastern Continent. Trade ships from the other three continents come in and out every day, but only from the king.
Since Prohibition was issued in St. Petersburg three years ago, the number of trading ships that had been flowing before was reduced by a quarter. Before Prohibition was issued, mafia families or gangs like Birmingham could only rely on robbery, theft, card playing, and money lending.
The more subordinates you have, the more money you earn. This makes it difficult for a small family like Birmingham with only about ten people to survive. They can only make a living by smuggling some prohibited items such as goblin hemostatic agent. Alcohol can be banned.
After the order was issued, Cavendi found a new way to make money. Taking advantage of his relationship with the pig-headed people in the Southern Continent, he decided to go to the Southern Continent in person to purchase unique white wine and sell it to the people of Constantinople at a high price.
This was the reason why Cavendi arrived in the Southern Continent half a year ago, but his real purpose was to compete with the Karl family for the raw materials of Star Fireweed controlled by the government.
Before approaching the Royal Port, Cavendi had already disguised the existing wine and beer on the passenger ship as fruit juice. The white wine originally bought in the Southern Continent had been blended into the sea. Thinking of making a little profit, Cavendi put the existing wine on the passenger ship into fruit juice.
The drinks provided to tourists are treated as their own goods. The people who manage the import and export trade at the port are the labor police of Constantinople. Cavendi began to have a good relationship with them two years ago. For this, the Birmingham family spent a lot of money.
money.
Norman and Shanon, two children from the Southern Continent, were very curious about everything in the Eastern Continent. They were lying on the bow of the ship and talking loudly about the magnificence of Port Royal. However, Nisi on the side didn't seem to be interested in Port Royal. She took a bottle from the cabin
After sweeping up the cigarettes, Norman looked into the distance. Norman knew that Nisi was worried about her subordinates. She had lost contact with her subordinates for two weeks, and the mysterious wizard who once broke into the passenger ship never appeared again.
Noticing that Norman had been staring at her with worried eyes, Nisi forced a smile and comforted: "Don't worry, I'm fine, but after the anchor is released, I will leave with the Carl family. That
Girls, you want to keep it, right? Well, Norman, we have been together for almost two months, and we will definitely have a chance to meet in the future. Now you just follow Cavendi to their territory honestly. Don’t forget
Got those two things."
Shanon was interested in what Nisi said. He approached the two people who were whispering and asked: "Two things? Is there anything else I don't know? Is it something similar to the short staff disguised as a shovel handle?"
Niss glared at Shanon: "Little Ghost 2, don't talk nonsense, don't forget the deal I made with you."
Shanon was immediately discouraged. She hugged Norman's shoulders and said nothing more. Cavendi in the distance had already walked over with the tied Barrege and other former Carl family members, except for Shanon who had decided to stay in Birmingham.
In addition, Norman found that the boatman's head was not there either.
Cavendi solemnly shook hands with Nisi. He had already discussed with Nisi how to safely allow the Birmingham family and others to return to their own territory. That was for Nisi to lead the four Baregues off the boat first and lead them away.
The attention of the Carr family.
"President Nice, then everything will be left to you."
Five days ago, Barrage somehow sent out intelligence under the surveillance of Ishan Manda. Then the next day, Cavendi saw a carrier pigeon flying from the direction of the eastern continent. By the time it flew near the passenger ship, it was already alert.
Exhausted, Zozo caught it with a fishing net, and then found a small mailbox on the pigeon's leg. It seemed that the movements of the Birmingham family were firmly controlled by the other two giants of the Carr family, both in terms of distance and direction.
The content of the letter is as follows: "Cavendi, I know it was you who touched my cheese, and I will prepare the best gifts to welcome you back to Port Royal."
The letter was not signed, but the emblem of the Carr family, which was an eagle, was clearly visible on the belly of the carrier pigeon. It was an eagle. Cavendi immediately grabbed Barrage and wanted to ask for an explanation as to why the Carr family knew about them.
At the location, Cavendi was so angry that he thought of the family members who had died before. He took out his pistol and wanted to kill Barrage, but he was stopped by the ship's doctor, old Jeff and Nice.
"If you want to enter Port Royal safely, don't touch Barrage." That's what Niss said, and then there was a plan for Niss to leave first with the Carl family members. Shanon mentioned why she didn't follow the update.
It docked at Thiboton Port further north, but was soon dragged aside by the pig-headed man Zoff, who used his fists to explain that only the immigration inspector at Port Royal had accepted the Birmingham family's black money.
The plan seems very simple, but in fact the difficulty of executing this step is unimaginable. On the one hand, it has to face the 'gift prepared by the Carr family' to buy time for the Birmingham family to leave Port Royal, and on the other hand, it has to use words to prepare the plan.
She had to fight for her own chance to escape, and she also needed to have a certain status to be able to face the members of the Karl family. So it seemed that only Nisi on the entire ship was suitable for this task.
Time returned to the present. After shaking hands with Cavendi, Nisi chuckled: "Don't think that I am assisting you for free. Don't forget the transaction between me and you. I never do business at a loss. By the way, if you want to do anything in the future,
If you need any information, please feel free to come to me in the main city area. "Big Head and Dio have already thrown the anchor into the sea, and all they have to do now is wait.
Cavendi restrained his emotions. He understood why Nice would readily agree to his request, just because he sold almost two-thirds of his current property in exchange for Nice's help this time. The Birmingham family was in control at its peak.
It covers three streets in the main city of Constantinople and twelve streets in the sub-city, but now, the Birmingham family only has three stores left to collect fees.
Cavendi's plan is to give all the Birmingham family's savings over the years to Nisi as a reward. Now Cavendi knows that Birmingham has a bright future. After trading with the whale shark, he will have a steady stream of Star Fire Grassland materials in the future.
, coupled with the white wine provided by the pig-headed people, the Birmingham family's economic situation will definitely be much better in the future. Cavendi is already heavily in debt, although the Birmingham family members gathered in Cavendish for various reasons of friendship.
Di is around, but without money, there is no future. This is the consensus of everyone in this era.
Nisi grabbed the rope that trapped Barrage, and took advantage of the moonlight to use the pulley principle to bring the raft to the boat before the boatman's big head. After bringing Barrage, Saas and Torrea to the raft, she specially said to see them off.
Norman waved his hand. Norman was quite fond of the wizard in front of him who could predict wood attributes. He wiped the corners of his eyes and stood on tiptoe to say goodbye to Nice who was gradually leaving, until Cavendi was like carrying a chicken.
After throwing Norman aside, Norman stopped.
Zozo, Zoff, Dio, Esamanda, Shanon, Old Jeff, and the big head who originally belonged to the Carl family, Sally stood behind Cavendi and stared at Port Royal in the distance. About twenty
Minutes later, Port Royal became noisy, and countless torches emerged from behind the houses and approached the seaside. Norman was a little worried. Although he knew that Nice was very capable, but in the face of such a battle, Norman was worried that even if
Even Nice can't handle it.
Cavendi lit a cigarette with a match found in the cabin and ordered: "We will dock in half an hour."
"Yes, boss." Zuo Zuo sneered, and everyone else responded.
...
Tonight, two immigration inspectors at Port Royal were playing cards with two gangsters in gray suits in the inspection room near the port. The four of them were holding thick cigarettes rolled directly from star fireweed raw materials and laughing and cursing at each other. There were piles of things on the table.
Five pieces of gold have been collected, and they are all in front of the two inspectors.
No matter how much commotion there was outside, the immigration inspector didn't seem to hear it and just stared at the cards in his hand. This is the hottest game that can be played with juice in the tavern in Constantinople. There are also many people who secretly drink like this.
Play, such as the two bottles of brown drinks on the table.
The man in a gray suit with an eagle badge on his chest exhaled a puff of smoke, making the smoke in the inspection room even more turbid: "Two sirs, it's really not peaceful tonight. Only Constantinople has solved the drought problem in the Eastern Continent. Many
The rats have all fled to this oasis."
The inspector on the left was in a better mood and won more gold bars in front of him.
"Yes, but don't your family members usually operate in Thibton Port? Why do you have time to come to Port Royal to play cards with us today?"
The man in a suit on the right smiled sarcastically: "A guest from our family is here, so we naturally have to prepare good gifts to entertain him, so you two had better not ask any more questions. Don't worry, everyone's life has just recovered from the extreme drought.
We are grateful to King Diaby. We will not affect the lives of residents. We will return to the main city when we get what we want."
The entry inspector nodded with satisfaction, grabbed a bottle of yellow drink with his hand and drank it in a big gulp. With a bit of drunkenness, he hummed the boat song that sailors often sang in the boring sea life. At this moment, the door of the inspection room opened.
After being knocked, and with the consent of the men in gray suits, a man dressed as a sailor broke in from the door and whispered something beside the two men in suits.
The slightly rugged man in a suit on the left kept changing his expression. After confirming with the man in a suit on the right, he stood up and left with the sailor man. The man in a suit with a thin cheek on the right poured the drink on the table into his mouth. After a slight hesitation, he stood up and faced the two men.
An entry inspector said: "Sorry, sir, it seems that the card game is over today. Next time we will bring better tributes to you two." After saying that, the man in the suit pushed the door open and disappeared into the night.
The two entry inspectors looked unhappy, but looked at the gold piled on the table and smiled. At this moment, the window on the other side of the inspection room was knocked. This is where the ships need to be inspected after entering the port.
There, Cavendi, who was leaning on crutches, showed a polite smile to the two immigration inspectors through the window.
