"Of course, there are fixed incomes such as territories, which are sorted out by someone, but those with large fluctuations in income such as fleets need to be handled by themselves."
"Is that so...May I take the liberty to ask how much did you earn last quarter?"
"Of course." Princess Hill smiled and said a number that surprised him.
That was not a small amount of money, as far as his last year's manor territory, prop auctions, family pocket money, etc. combined, his income was less than half of the other party's.
You must know that what others are talking about is only a quarter, but his side is a whole year's income.
Du Wei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and smiled.
"So much money...Princess Hill, you are really powerful. Compared with your income, I am afraid that you will laugh at me."
"Your Majesty Du Wei is too polite. My income is simply not comparable to that of Farvin's family."
It is true that the overall income of the Farvin family is huge, it can be said that it is incomparably rich, and the implication of Princess Hill is that he, the only son of the Farvin family, will eventually inherit this considerable family property.
Princess Hill continued.
"Besides, compared to Miss Karina, my income is really nothing."
The Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce under the Luoka family is a world-class consortium, and it is getting bigger every year. It is indeed no worse than the Farwin family in terms of financial resources.
Farwin's family is only superior in that the territory is rich in natural resources, but it also takes time to mine. The Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce, which is mainly engaged in business, has a huge cash flow in the market every day.
And Karina, as the only jewel in the palm of the Senior family, naturally holds a lot of power in her own chamber of commerce, how could she have no money like this, otherwise I wouldn't report to Fanny every time I spend money Sarah's name was canceled.
"You can't say that. Karina and I are both lucky to benefit from the fact that the family itself is very powerful, unlike you who started from scratch."
Although Princess Hill is an expensive princess, she has hardly obtained much resources from the royal family because of Queen Keenos. She can achieve today's good results mostly because of her own efforts.
"Thank you for the praise, but I think luck is also a part of strength, but if Guang Kong is lucky, there will always be a day when it runs out. I won't lose to Miss Karina all the time."
Princess Hill said confidently.
"Give me another ten years, ten years later I will build the most powerful maritime empire."
"So confident? When we get to the port, let us go up and visit?"
"Of course, but I have arranged for a small awakening." Princess Hill said mysteriously.
"Small surprise?"
"Master Du Wei will know by then, please let me keep a secret here."
"Well, then I'm looking forward to it."
Stretching, Du Weila opened the curtain of the window and looked at the scenery outside, his eyes lit up immediately.
"It's the sea! Tiehua, it's Haiye!"
Only then did Du Wei realize that the convoy had reached the coast, and there was a clear blue sea in front of him. Farvin's territory was not close to the sea, and because of safety concerns, this was the first time he had seen the ocean in this world.
"Well, it's indeed the sea." Tie Hua, who was following the carriage, yawned without interest.
"Huh? Tiehua, have you ever seen the sea?"
Tiehua replied.
"I've seen it several times. When we used to live on the mountain, we used to cross two hills to trade supplies with the fishing village on the shore in order to replenish food."
"Uh, can it be said that this is the only place where I saw the sea for the first time?"
Tiehua complained, "Children who grow up in the city are so easy to make a fuss."
! ! ! ?
Didn't you just never see the sea!This country bumpkin riding a pig to get off work has become more and more arrogant recently, who is the boss!
The convoy soon came to a small town along the coast, but they didn't stay in the town, but used the town's only teleportation circle to directly teleport to Kainos King City.
Walking out of the hut that manages the teleportation circle, Du Wei originally thought that King Kainos City should be no different from an ordinary city, but what caught his eyes was a very distinctive water city.
The river extending in all directions in front of you, as well as the boats that can be seen everywhere on the river, everything here is full of exotic atmosphere.
It is a place where in addition to land transportation, water transportation is also well developed.
The waterways that flow through the entire city have the style of the European and American water cities in the previous life.
Due to the limited transport volume of the teleportation circle, Du Wei, Princess Hill and the relevant guards went first, and the rest of the convoy followed Qenos officials to the residence where they were going to stay tonight after Mu Lai integrated them.
"Welcome, Special Envoy Du Wei." A graceful and luxurious beautiful woman led a group of officials to welcome him.
Du Wei also gracefully took off his hat to pay tribute to him.
"Hello, Your Majesty the beautiful queen, thank you for welcoming me personally."
The queen of Kainos is indeed very beautiful. A well-matched white gauze dress highlights her noble and extraordinary temperament, and her gestures reveal the demeanor of a high-ranking person.
If it was the first time they met, he would be deceived by this woman's appearance. After all, no one would have guessed that this queen was actually jealous by nature, and could even kill her best friend.
Princess Hill beside her also bowed to salute, "Your Majesty the Queen."
"Hill, you didn't neglect the honored guest, did you?"
Although the queen still maintained a gentle smile on her face, there was a hint of sternness in her beautiful eyes.
Before Princess Hill could respond, Du Wei took a step forward and blocked her behind.
"Ahahaha, thanks to Princess Hill's planning, I had a great time on this journey, but the long journey still made me feel a little tired."
the queen smiled.
"It's great to be able to respond to the special envoy's expectations. I have already sent someone to arrange a room for the special envoy in the most upscale hotel in the city. In the evening, there will be a welcome dinner for everyone. The special envoy can take advantage of the current gap to take a rest."
"Then I'll be more respectful than obedient."
But just as Du Wei was about to leave with the receiving officials, Princess Hill was stopped by Queen Kenos.
"Hill, come with me."
"Okay, Your Majesty." Princess Hill replied meekly, and gave Du Wei a reassuring look after speaking.
However, out of safety considerations, Du Wei still nodded to Tiehua at the side, signaling her to follow Princess Hill.
Seeing Tiehua carrying a big ax following Princess Hill, the queen seemed to want to reprimand, but when she saw the family crest on Tiehua's body representing the Farwin family, she opened her mouth and closed it again. She went back, but the frown still revealed the displeasure in her heart.
Du Wei took the initiative to explain.
"She's called Tiehua, and she's my most trusted bodyguard."
The queen asked in puzzlement, "Why did the special envoy's guard follow Hill?"
"Ah, this is a popular game among Knox's noble students recently. Everyone will exchange their most trusted guards and friends with each other for a few days to shorten their friendship." Du Wei said casually.
"Trust...friendship...I understand, then I have something to say with Hill, so I won't bother the special envoy."
The queen looked at Hill first and then at him, nodded and left as if she understood something.
The queen and Princess Hill led a group of officials to leave, while Du Wei and Flo also took a boat under the guidance of the officials sent by the queen to a hotel known as the most luxurious hotel in Kainos.
"Lord Du Wei, thank you very much for speaking up to defend His Highness."
As soon as she entered the room, Flo bowed her head and thanked him.
"You're welcome, Princess Hill is my friend, and it's my duty to protect her." After Du Wei waved his hand, he looked at the furnishings in the room.
As the only son of the Grand Duke of the Empire, and he has a super rich fiancée, he has already stayed in several high-end hotels.
Honestly speaking, this is the most upscale hotel in Kainos...it’s really not that good, not to mention comparing it with the capital, even his manor has several rooms with interiors that are much more luxurious than this one hotel room.
But this hotel is not without its positives.
"This may be the most beautiful city I've ever seen."
Looking at the scenery outside the window, Du Wei sincerely lamented the beauty of the city.
In terms of urban planning alone, this city is not very advanced, and it can even be said to be a bit old. Old buildings that have been baptized by the years can be seen everywhere, and even his so-called most upscale room can see some mottled walls Remove traces of repairs.
But these places that should have been shortcomings have become the characteristics of the city because of the extensive rivers. It has not become old because of the years, but is full of romantic classical atmosphere because of the growth of the years.
"It's great that you like it. Whenever His Highness is depressed, he will take a boat and wander aimlessly in the river in the city. It's a pity that His Highness is not here, otherwise she will be very happy to hear your praise." Flo smiled. replied.
"Even though the Queen is targeting her so much, does she still like this city?"
"Yes, His Highness loves this city from the bottom of his heart."
"Really? That's right, after all, my hometown..."
While Du Wei was admiring the beautiful scenery of the city and trying to figure out what Princess Hill was thinking, Flo interrupted his thoughts.
"Master Du Wei, in fact, this city has some connections with you."
"...Is it related to me? How is this possible? This is the first time I have come here."
He has only gone abroad twice since he was a child. The first time was the elf country last time, and the second time is the current journey. How could he have anything to do with this city?
"This has something to do with your royal blood."
But no matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was impossible. This was not Knox's territory, nor did he hear any historical records that it was a Knox-dependent country in the past.
"Knox's bloodline? Don't keep it secret, explain it quickly."
Flo replied with a chuckle.
"Master Du Wei should know that the founding queen of Knox once tried to ignite the divine fire?"
"Of course I know." Du Wei nodded.
"This is where the founding queen lit the divine fire."
"...Hey!? This is the place where the founding queen lit the magic fire!?" Du Wei couldn't help but exclaimed.
Flo walked to his side and looked out the window.
"It didn't look like this at first, but a wide and flat plain. However, the founding queen failed to ignite the divine fire for the second time. The terrifying shock wave almost destroyed everything here, thus creating the unique terrain of Kainos."
Uh, it turned out that this was the case. He thought it was a naturally formed terrain, and after a long time, it was the masterpiece of the founding queen.
"Won't that cause very serious casualties?"
Flo explained.
"No, the world's population at that time was much smaller than it is now, and there were almost no people living in the coastal areas. Perhaps it was for this reason that the founding empress chose to light the fire in this place."
"Then the Kainos Kingdom settled and developed here?"
Flo shook her head.
"No, at that time, due to the explosion, this land was too severely damaged, and it was no longer suitable for any creature to live in. Therefore, those Kainos people first settled on the southwestern coast."
"Then what's going on with the Kainos people now?"
Flo smiled wryly.
"The luck of the Kainos people is very bad. The place where they live is often attacked and plundered by bandits and pirates. The Kainos people couldn't stand it and migrated with their families. This time they chose to go north and finally came here. They It was soon discovered that although this place is desolate, this special terrain can help them resist bandit harassment, and this is the embryonic form of the Kainos Kingdom."
"Can this terrain resist the enemy?"
"Yes, the Kainos who have lived on the sea for a long time soon discovered the ingenuity of this terrain. They often lure the enemy in when the tide is low. When the tide rises, the Kainos who have been lying in wait for a long time come Will take boats and besiege those trapped in water."
"It turns out that these terrains still have this function, but what if the enemy comes in by boat?" Du Wei asked.
"Then the Kainos will change their tactics. The pirate ships are usually not small. At this time, the Kainos will take a small boat and use the complicated terrain and rivers to lure the pirates to run aground, and then shoot rockets in groups to besiege those who have become the enemy of the target."
Du Wei appreciated it.
"It's really a smart nation, but why don't the pirates just sweep up the buildings on the shore and insist on coming here?"
Flo explained with a smile.
"What you are thinking about is the current Kainos. In the past, the land area of Kainos was not a city, at best it was only the size of a small fishing village. Now Kainos has truly become a city after years of development and development. Coastal kingdom."
"Uh, so that's the case, so is Kainos still infested by pirates?"
Flo blinked.
"The most powerful pirate force in the vicinity is His Royal Highness's fleet."
Du Wei was stunned for a few seconds.
"Huh? Almost forgot about it."
It was only then that he remembered that the fleet organized by Princess Hill had colonized and conquered several overseas islands in addition to doing business.
"So not only has this city not been infested by pirates, but it has been protected by pirates because of Princess Hill's relationship?"
A smile formed on the corner of Flo's mouth.
