These days, wives deliver to their door by themselves

"It's true to say that, but this asylum is not cheap."

Asylum...not cheap...

"Could it be that you still collect protection fees from the Kingdom of Kainos!?"

"Protection fee?" Flo shook her head.

"We don't provide protection services. What we charge is [-]% of the value of the cargo on board the port."

... more rogue than a rogue!

"Uh, isn't this the homeland of Princess Hill?"

Flo paused for a moment before speaking.

"Yes, this is the country where His Highness was raised, but you have also seen how His Highness was treated here."

The attitude of the queen's group towards Princess Hill, the princess of the kingdom, is indeed not very friendly, and it can even be said to be indifferent.

"Then what if you didn't pay the entry and exit fee?"

"Catherine's pirates will rob half of the cargo on the ship and then let the other party go."

"If I remember correctly, Catherine is the maid who was originally a pirate? But why is it half?"

Flo explained, "Taking half of it is just to teach those disobedient guys, not to kill them all, and doing so has higher benefits. If those fleets are forced to go bankrupt just for the sake of temporary wealth, then we are less An income that can be drawn for a long time."

Good guy?Sustainable leek cutting?

Du Wei scratched his head and continued to ask.

"But those merchants aren't stupid to keep you sucking blood, right? There's not only one Kainos port in the entire west coast, wouldn't they go to other ports?"

"It is true that there is not only one port on the west coast, but His Highness controls the entire ocean near the northwest coast. If those merchant ships choose to dock from the southwest coast, they will basically not make much money, so most merchant ships will obediently pay [-]% The entry and exit fees." After speaking, Flo showed a smug smile.

Can't make money on the Southwest Coast?A map of the Eastern Continent appeared in Du Wei's mind, and soon he understood what Flo meant. There were many high mountains along the southwest coast, and almost all the big cities were in the upper half of the Eastern Continent.

Even if the merchants transported the goods to the southwest coast, the huge cost of land transportation made the merchants on land shy away. Therefore, if those sea merchants went to the southwest coast, they could only lower the price. In this way, it is better to obediently pay the pirates under Princess Hill to enter the port. fee.

Du Wei frowned.

"What about the navy? The navies of various countries have been indulging the pirates under your banner to act recklessly?"

"It's true. Allowing pirates to wreak havoc outside their own country's harbor will make the country a laughing stock internationally. Therefore, in the beginning, the navies of many countries indeed dispatched to destroy our maritime power."

"Looking at it now, they all failed?"

Flo nodded.

"Yes, we won, and it was a big win, we beat them in a landslide."

"Uh, those navies are so unbearable?"

"No." Flo smiled wryly.

"It's not that the navy is vulnerable, but that we have also found allies."

"Allies? You mean the aborigines of those overseas islands."

"No, we are allied with the ocean."

Ally with the ocean?It took Du Wei a while to realize what she meant.

"You mean the sea goddess!?"

237 The King Disappears

Flo nodded, "Yes, we have a cooperative relationship with the Goddess of the Ocean's Raging Sea Church."

Hearing this, Du Wei was really surprised.

"... That lady who is famous for being hot and spicy would agree! What kind of method did you use? And you are not afraid of her stabbing the knife in the back?"

The Goddess of the Sea is a well-known madwoman evil god, her temperament is as moody as a raging wave, and she has a bad relationship with most of the goddesses, so she is also known as the jealous daughter.

Because of this, most of the people who follow the sea goddess dedicate to her out of fear, and only a small number of sea creatures really follow the queen of the deep sea.

"You can rest assured that even if we didn't take the initiative to contact her, she would take the initiative to contact us for cooperation."

"Could it be that she and the goddess of fate are good sisters?"

Flo chuckled.

"No, the jealous daughter is jealous of all goddesses, even the goddess of fate who has nothing to do with her."

"Then why would she cooperate with you?"

Flo corrected.

"It's us, Mr. Du Wei, you are also one of us. As for the reason, it's also very simple. The goddess of the sea and the god of storm are torn apart."

The God of Storms?

Du Wei thought about the memory in his mind and said.

"I remember it was recorded in the book that the God of Storm and the Goddess of the Sea are both members of the Fury God Department. Why are they suddenly tearing their faces apart?"

According to the records in the book, none of these raging gods is a good thing, and the leading storm god is even a bully among the gods, so most of the gods who are neutral or good align themselves with this storm master. .

But it is undeniable that the God of Storms is indeed very strong. With his powerful divine power, his strength is not weaker than the Lord of Light and the King of Elves. However, he is not satisfied with this. The Destroyer is still pursuing more powerful power all the time. .

Flo explained.

"Although the Goddess of the Sea and the God of Storm belong to the same pantheon, the God of Storms has always coveted the priesthood of the Goddess of the Sea, and in recent years has frequently sent followers to occupy the territory of the Goddess of the Sea."

"The sea goddess has nothing to do with him?"

Flo shook her head.

"The God of Storms is too strong, and the Ocean Goddess with medium divine power lacks the power to directly confront him."

"That's why she asked you... for help from our Destiny Sect?"

"It should be said to be mutual assistance. Although the goddess of the sea can dominate the sea, her power is not very effective on land. Therefore, according to the high-level agreement between His Highness and the Church of the Nuohai, every time His Highness conquers an island, the Church of the Nuohai will let the Church of the Nuohai A temple was established on the island to teach, and we received support from the goddess of the sea, and the huge waves at sea will actively stay away from the fleet, and we will also attack the enemy when necessary."

"But wouldn't the Destiny Sect offend the God of Storms by doing so?"

Although the God of Storms is a bully, as long as you don't provoke him for nothing, he will generally not be missed, but the result of Princess Hill's actions is to actively push herself against the God of Storms.

"Offending the God of Storms is only a matter of time." Flora replied.

"Hey!? Could it be that this God of Storms has enmity with the Destiny Sect? Your Destiny Sect has a problem with the legacy of history." Du Wei said regretfully.

However, Flo's expression became a little strange.

"No... Most of the God of Storm's territory is in the Western Continent or the overseas islands, so there is no intersection with the Destiny Sect in the Eastern Continent. The reason why I said that I will offend the God of Storm sooner or later is because of you."

Du Wei shouted dumbfounded.

"Me!? Why does he, a powerful god, bother me, a mortal?"

Flo paused and said.

"Do you remember being invited to her country by the God of Hunting in the past?"

"You mean Queen Wolfheart?"

The figure of a tall beauty appeared in Du Wei's mind.

But that time, he was not invited, but somehow kidnapped by a werewolf, okay?

Du Wei clapped his hands.

"Ah! I remembered! The God of Hunting also belongs to the God of Fury. Speaking of which, the wolf heart queen seems to be quite kind to me, but is there any problem?"

After hearing this, Flo's expression became even weirder.

"...The God of Storm has admired the Queen of Wolf Heart for a long time. Although he has never been in his heart, he does not allow others to get involved. But some time ago, there was an ambiguous image of you and the Queen of Wolf Heart, which made him furious. If it weren't for you There is always a legendary strong guard by your side, I am afraid he has sent his men to kill you long ago."

"...MD! A beauty is a disaster, why do I have to pay for the crimes committed by the founding empress!"

The revenge of taking his wife would be blamed if he wasn't chopped off, then his relationship with the Fury God Department is not to be called hostility, but the proper level of prestige is hatred!

"It's a shame that you dare to cooperate with the goddess of the sea."

Flo smiled lightly.

"We and the Goddess of the Sea are just taking what we need. As long as we develop the sect now, even if the two sides tear each other apart in the future, the sect will not be afraid to go to war with each other."

It's really hard to imagine that this is what a clergyman of a sect is still rebuilding. Where does this inexplicable confidence come from?Also crazy.

"Let's stop the topic of the gods here first. Let's get back to the topic. Since you can defeat the maritime coalition forces of the coastal countries, doesn't that mean that Princess Hill can completely capture the Kingdom of Kainos with her own army strength? The queen is fighting for the right to inherit?"

The territory of the Kainos Kingdom is not large, and the size of the army is relatively small. Not to mention the comparison with the Knox Empire, the Farwin family does not even need to send out the Black Feather Knights. It should be enough for the members of the branch to send their own troops. Take the kingdom of Kainos.

"You are right. Your Highness can completely take the kingdom as his own with his own army, but if he does so, the disadvantages will only outweigh the advantages."

Du Wei clapped his hands after thinking about it carefully.

"I understand, you are afraid that the teacher will be unknown and cause civil strife."

After all, Princess Hill is still the princess of the kingdom of Kenos. Unless the Queen of Kenos takes the lead in launching an attack, Princess Hill will only be recognized as a traitor internationally.

Even if Princess Hill eventually conquers the kingdom, her status as the ruler will not be firm, and the dishonest Princess Hill will not be recognized by the people and nobles below, and this turbulent country will eventually fall into another In the flames of war.

This Knox Empire has old experience. The army of the empire is very powerful. During the war, they often quickly captured the enemy's country with an overwhelming advantage.

But even now that the peace agreement has been signed, rebellions still occur from time to time in places that have been ruled by the empire for decades.

And this is also the main reason why he has experienced countless assassinations since he was a child.

Flo nodded.

"Yes, the lack of legitimacy is indeed the main reason. Even Her Highness herself is unwilling to let the country where she was raised from a young age fall into turmoil, so she thought of another method, but this method did not go very smoothly."

"What way?" Du Wei asked curiously.

However, Flo did not open her mouth to explain, but stared at him silently.

Du Wei patted his forehead and smiled wryly.

"Ahaha, that way is to marry the only son of the Falvin family."

Flo nodded.

"Yes, as long as His Highness is backed by the huge Faerwen family, His Highness will have more means to control the Kainos Kingdom, such as the King of Skyscrapers."

It was obviously a major event to subvert the country, but the maid looked indifferent, as if she was talking about a trivial matter.

Looking at the night scene outside the window, Du Wei couldn't help frowning.

"What's the reason? I don't understand why Princess Hill is so obsessed with capturing the Kingdom of Kainos. What is the reason why she insists on doing so?"

The Knox Empire valued the Kainos Kingdom because of the port of this country. Although the Empire is the hegemonic country in the Eastern Continent, it lacks a seaport city.

Olivia's Weiss family is the only noble in the empire whose territory is close to the sea, but it is a desolate and cold northern land, so cold that even the sea water will freeze. Unable to navigate there normally.

But Princess Hill is different. With her fleet and the sea goddess supporting her at sea, she can directly occupy other kingdoms or simply develop overseas islands to establish a new kingdom that belongs to her.

But she just wanted to stick to the Kainos Kingdom.

Flo asked back.

"If the regime of the Knox Empire is gradually corrupted today, will Mr. Du Wei choose to let Farwen become independent and cut off all ties with the empire?"

"This... I understand." Du Wei shook his head and smiled wryly.

In the final analysis, humans are still creatures with emotions, and he, who has the same blood as the Knox royal family, naturally cannot easily abandon this emotion.

It is of course the same for Little Princess Hill. Although the members of Queen Keenos' faction are hostile to her, there are people who support her in this kingdom, not to mention that this is the hometown where she was raised.

Flo sighed deeply.

"Actually, Catherine and the others originally wanted to suggest His Highness to give up Kainos directly, but I blocked it."

"why?"

Flo looked at him with a sour smile and replied.

"Because I also had the same experience as Your Highness. I grew up in the Destiny Cult since I was a child. To me, rebuilding the sect means rebuilding the family. This is an emotion that cannot be easily let go. Even in difficult times, I will support Your Highness and accompany her all the way."

Hiss~ Why doesn't he have such a loyal and capable maid?I have to complain to Tiehua again later, so that she can learn from others.

But Du Wei was keenly aware of the information revealed by Flo.

"Is the current regime of the Kainos Kingdom very corrupt?"
