Bright Era

The port of Jinduo Island is surrounded by two hills, and the entrance is only tens of meters wide. On the left and right of the hill stood two huge towers, which exuded powerful waves of magic power. Standing on the bow of the boat, Lin Qi could see the neatly arranged magic ordnance on the towers.

From the giant magic smashing catapult to the extremely fast-fired magic reambow, there are hundreds of heavy equipment exposed on the two towers, which are enough to arm two field armies. But here, it is only used to guard a family port.

These wealthy aristocrats in Vias Harbour are rich, they are very rich, and their savings over thousands of years have given them wealth that no one can imagine. Because they have money, they can get a lot of excellent weapons from dwarves and **** black dwarves.

Lin Qi looked at the two towers and couldn't help pursing his lips. The Black Tiger family is also a family with great potential in Dunelker, but the defense force of the several secret ports of the Black Tiger family is definitely not so strong. Perhaps this is the difference in philosophy. The Black Tiger family also has a very strong financial position, but the Black Tiger family pays more attention to active offense. Except for an ancestral home, energy is not used on defense.

But the Golden Rudder family is different. They are in the Vias Commercial Federation. They not only have to guard against the jealous pirates and thieves of all walks of life, but even the hostile forces within the Federation. They must strengthen their own defense forces.

The huge ship slowly passed by the waterway between the two hills, and Yun Fenghua and others on the dock bowed slightly at the same time.

Lin Qi noticed that this port is large enough to accommodate dozens of huge ships that he rides, and now there are more than a dozen huge ships docking in the port area. These huge ships have long and narrow hulls and sharp collision angles. Obviously, these huge ships are warships, not ordinary merchant ships.

Some savvy sailors were busy on these warships. When they saw the huge ship that Lin Qi was riding at the pier, they also stood on the side of the ship and bowed to this side. All the sailors put down their work almost at the same time and bowed and saluted here. Just looking at this, there was a breath of solemnity.

This is a temperament that is very different from the stubborn temper of the Black Tiger family. Even if the pirates under the Black Tiger family see Blackbeard, they will yell at all kinds of dirty jokes and fool around with Blackbeard. Gossip rumors. Pirates are pirates, don't think they have the demeanor of a regular army.

But these sailors, Lin Qi felt from them the temperament that a true imperial regular army had.

Lin Qi's eyes flickered. He had never heard of such a powerful naval force in the southern waters. The Black Tiger family is the most powerful pirate leader in the North Sea region of the mainland, and even the true strength of the Northern Fleet of the Gaul Empire cannot match the water power controlled by the Black Tiger family. Because of this, Lin Qi had a very thorough understanding of the navy in various sea areas of the Western Continent. He had never heard of such a powerful navy in the southern waters of the mainland.

Seeing Lin Qi’s surprise, Yun walked to Lin Qi and said in a low voice: “This is the family’s armed **** team. There are ten huge armed ships, 30 large armed ships, and 100 small and medium armed ships. Article, 15,000 trained sailors. This is the data from 15 years ago. I don’t know what the situation is now.”

Lin Qi couldn't help but clicked his lips. Okay, 15,000 sailors who had received strict training were sailors. In terms of numbers, the navy of the Jinduo family cannot be compared with the pirates controlled by the Black Tiger family, but depending on the combat power and equipment, the navy of the Jinduo family is far better than the Black Tiger family.

"The Jinduo family is just a cover-up family of your family, are there other cover-up families?" Lin Qi looked at the cloud curiously.

Holding his finger, Yun calculated for a while, and then whispered to Lin Qi: "Fifteen years ago, the situation was that there were three other disguising families that were comparable to the Jinduo family. This is the top family power! Other than that. There are forty-seven small families in the middle and lower levels that are controlled and used by the family. These are all external forces and have nothing to do with the main line of the family."

The corner of Lin Qi's eyes twitched. There are as many as four cover-up families like the Jinduo family. Doesn't it mean that more than 10% of the strength of the Vias Commercial Federation is controlled by the Yun family? If you add those small and medium-sized families, this ratio may rise to 20%. These are all peripheral forces of Yun's family, how strong is his family's main line?

Just as Lin Qi was thinking about this problem, the huge ship was already leaning on the pier, and a red-carpeted gangway was slowly lowered. The green old man greeted him, and Yun walked slowly over and got off the ship first.

With good looks, wearing a pale gold palace dress and a high hair bun on his head, Yun Fenghua respectfully performed an ancient etiquette to Yun. Lin Qi raised his eyebrows. He had learned this etiquette. It was a common etiquette among the city-state nobles during the dark period. Yun's family still maintains such an ancient etiquette. It can be seen that his family has a long history and it is estimated to be comparable to the Black Tiger family.

Of course, the Black Tiger family doesn't have so many red tapes. After all, it is a family of robbers. What do you do with so many rituals?

Yun slowly raised his hand, and said calmly, "Isn't your father coming?"

Yun Fenghua and the senior leaders of the Jinduo family behind her straightened up. Yun Fenghua respectfully said: "The president is handling affairs in the Caesar Empire. For the time being, I don’t know the news of your safe return. None of the second elders are in the clan. , They all have important tasks."

Yun frowned, "Where is Grandpa?"

Yun Fenghua hurriedly bowed his bow, and even said cautiously with a hint of fear and respect: "The patriarch is in retreat, striving to break through the peak of the saint teacher and enter a new realm. The matter is very important, and the elder, the second elder, and the third elder lead most The elders are retreating for the patriarch to protect the Dharma."

The green old man said solemnly: "So, who else is still left behind in the clan?"

Yun Fenghua saluted the young man again: "Elder Qing Mingjian, only Deputy Chief Clausen is left in the clan now."

Upon hearing the name Clausen, the old man and Yun coldly snorted at the same time. The old man gave Yun Fenghua a sullen look: "You are not stupid enough to tell him the news of our return? If so, neither you nor your people should live!"

Yun Fenghua's face paled with fright. She looked at the old man with trembling, and said in horror: "Elder Qing Mingjian, after knowing about your Royal Highness's return, I have sent out all the members of Deputy Chief Clausen's line overnight. When doing things, people on the island today are loyal and reliable."

Yun's brows were slowly loosened, and the young man nodded in satisfaction: "Very well, then we are not in a hurry to go to the clan, so we will stay with you for a few days. Wait until the chief and several subordinates come back. , And then pass up the matter of your Royal Highness's return. You did a good job this time, very smart, but I don't want to reveal any wind, otherwise you can't afford the consequences!"

Yun Fenghua respectfully saluted, saying "Don't dare" repeatedly.

Lin Qi had already been shocked so that his scalp was numb. What's the joke, Yun's grandfather is in retreat preparing to break through the realm of the peak of the holy master? Isn't it that he is about to break through the so-called "disciple" state of Gawul's father and enter a new level?

Damn it, how big is the cloud? How old is his father? How old can his grandfather be? Can his grandfather be at most two hundred years old? How can he break through the peak realm of the Saint Master? And there are so many elders protecting the law for him. Obviously, these elders are at least as strong as Yun's grandfather, right? Even if it's weak, it won't go anywhere!

It was a terrible family, and Lin Qi was even more curious about the family to which Yun belonged.

Moreover, Yun Fenghua's name for Yun is also very interesting, "His Royal Highness", which is the name of the royal family. If it is an ordinary noble family, just call it a young master; if it is a great noble with inheritance history, a lord is appropriate; if there is a title, then it is good to directly call the title of Yun. But calling it "His Royal Highness", the charm of this is very worthy of Lin Qi's investigation.

It's just that when Lin Qi first arrived, he didn't have so much thought to interrogate them. Anyway, everything will be clear in the future, and he is not eager to figure it out.

Respectfully greeted by Yun Fenghua and other senior leaders of the Jinduo family, and surrounded by two thousand elite private soldiers, Lin Qi and his party got into the carriage and walked along the smooth boulevard to the depths of Jinduo Island. Along the way, Lin Qi felt that there were magical traps of various colors everywhere. Once opened, this island was a place of death.

And in the shade of the trees, you can always see the faint dark shadows flickering, obviously these are the secret guards of the Jinduo family. Lin Qi couldn't help grinning. How many people did the Jinduo family provoke to keep such tight guards on their private territory?

Think about the Black Tiger family. There are a lot of things that hurt the world and reason. Have you ever seen the Black Tiger family have such a tight guard moment?

In the main house of the Jinduo family in the middle of Jinduo Island, a rich and unusually rich banquet has been prepared.

Lin Qi already knew that the domain of the family to which Yun belonged was not Jinduo Island, but had to be teleported over by Jinduo Island's teleportation circle. Where is the specific family territory? This is something Yun is a little confused about. Even the young man is a little confused. He can only tell the approximate location of the family territory, but where it is, that’s the core senior management of the family. The top secret can only be grasped by the bloodline of the direct line.

At the reception of the wind, Yun took the main seat, and the old man and Lin Qi sat beside him from left to right.

Yun Fenghua personally pours and persuades Lin Qi and others diligently, completely treating himself as a servant.

After drinking for three rounds, when Lin Qi was about to speak, a low cough suddenly came from behind the hall.

In Lin Qi's surprised gaze, a middle-aged man wearing a pale gold half-length armor and a scarlet cloak led a large group of heavily armed men and walked out of the hall slowly.

The young man stood up suddenly: "Secondary Clausen!"

Yun's expression suddenly changed, he looked at Yun Fenghua abruptly, and Yun Fenghua had already retreated quickly to the corner of the hall surrounded by more than a dozen high-level families.
