Chapter 274 Can't Afford to Provoke, but Can Afford to Hide
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible."
Kuria shook her head like a rattle.
"There is no such place at all. If you say it is a manor, it is almost the same, but such a large area of land, it is impossible for the Kingdom of the Holy Church to sell it to private individuals!"
"Is there no such thing as no man's land?"
"The land of the Kingdom of the Holy Order is nominally owned by the Kingdom of the Holy Order, and such a large piece of land... Mr. Ezio, even if you apply to the Temple, it is absolutely impossible to approve it. The rest... are some It's a restricted area. Not only is that kind of place dangerous, but it also restricts the entry and residence of humans."
"Is it really impossible?"
Hearing Kuria's answer, Fangzheng was speechless and depressed for a while. If you think about it carefully, the political structure of this continent has been mature for hundreds of years, and the territory that everyone should divide has already been divided up, so how could there be any leftovers for yourself? As for the restricted area—hehe, Fangzheng immediately recalled the dark swamp he had fought in before, that ghostly place, even if Fangzheng was offered change, he didn't want it either.
But at this moment, Nunnally timidly raised her hand and suggested.
"In this case, how about we buy a small island?"
"Island?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng immediately became interested, and Nunnali excitedly began to gesture.
"Well, Mr. Ezio, don't you know? If you have money, you can buy a small island in the endless sea? I have always wanted to be able to buy an island in the endless sea when I was very young. It’s so beautiful to watch the sunset on the beach every day! It’s just that I don’t have that much money... Ah, but now that I have money, I should be able to buy it!”
"That's all a lie!"
However, as a childhood sweetheart, Kuria shattered Nunnally's fantasy with her left hand without hesitation.
"Now those islands in the endless sea have been bought up by people, and the rest are small uninhabitable islands! This kind of island is useless if you waste money to buy it! There is no fresh water on it, and It will be very dangerous if the storm comes, and there are pirates..."
"Woo..."
The fantasy was crushed, and Nunnally pouted her mouth, showing a dissatisfied expression. But when Fangzheng heard the news, his expression suddenly changed.
"Wait, you said the endless sea... is that endless sea?"
Of course Fangzheng knows about the endless sea. The world is roughly divided into three continents, the largest of which is the land occupied by the Kingdom of the Holy Religion and the Kingdom of Sorcerers, while the other two continents are the Land of Flames. country and the territory of the country of wealth. If you want to use a simple pattern for comparison, then the positions of these three continents are connected by lines, which is basically an inverted triangle, and the sea area in the middle of this triangle is the endless sea.
This is an infinite sea area. People in this world don't seem to have the understanding that they live on a round planet. For them, the endless sea is an endless sea area. Once in that high-spirited In the Age of Discovery, countless adventurers set sail and vowed to conquer this sea area, but most of them disappeared into the endless sea and were never heard from again.
Fangzheng has no interest in great sailing adventures, but he is very interested in owning a piece of land of his own. In fact, Fang Zheng was very satisfied with the idea put forward by Nunnally. The reason why he was unwilling to stay in one place for a long time before was because he was carrying the "Dimensional Code" system, and he had to travel far away every now and then. If there is a fixed garrison, it is easy to be targeted by the enemy.
But now, if there is a natural barrier like the sea, then naturally there is no need to worry about some youngsters coming to the door. As for other problems... For Fangzheng, it is not a problem.
"Are there any restrictions on buying these islands?"
"There is no limit to this, as long as you have enough money..."
"Very well, it's decided."
Hearing Kuria's answer, Fangzheng nodded.
"I'll take a look at the matters related to the purchase of the island, and you guys should prepare to leave here immediately after I've dealt with the matters here."
"Hey? Do you want to leave here?"
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Nunnally was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, while Kuria frowned and wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything.
"Yes, for safety's sake, I want you to leave with me."
Fangzheng nodded, and then he looked at Nunnally.
"I have read the memory of that person before. He is indeed the special envoy of Van Riel. Although I was scared off by me this time. But the other party is obviously aggressive and has bad intentions. Presumably they will come again, and things will change by then It will be more troublesome. So we simply stay away from here and find a place to live our own quiet life. And... it is too dangerous here."
"This...Of course I have no problem!"
I don't know if she is still thinking about her childhood dream of buying an island to watch the sunrise and sunset, but Nunnally quickly gave the answer. On the contrary, Kuria showed a thoughtful expression, and then looked at Fangzheng anxiously.
"Mr. Ezio, will they really come again?"
"They will not give up so easily. If they come forward with official power, we will be wrong no matter what we do, so the best way is to stay away from it. If I guess right, it should be fertilizer and greenhouses The relevant technologies of the Variel caught the attention of Van Riel, so they came to trouble Nunnally. Although it is not sure whether this is the meaning of Van Riel's internal affairs, or the idea of a certain family, but since the other party has already planned to go to the official channel, then it means that they must be determined to win."
Fang Zheng doesn't know much about the Kingdom of Flames. In fact, the entire Kingdom of the Holy Cult knows very little about this big country far away across the ocean. A country with great strength appears to be quite domineering, and often uses various excuses to bully those small countries. It can be said that the reputation of this country among the people is not very good.
According to this impression, it is not surprising that the other side sent their own soldiers to arrest people at random within the territory of the Kingdom of the Holy Order, and even planned to bite back.
"All right………"
Kuria obviously also knows the reputation of the Kingdom of Fire, so although she is a little reluctant, she still has to admit that this is indeed the best way.
At the same time, in the city of Keha, inside the Van Riel embassy, it was a different scene.
"You haven't done your job, Ruden."
An old man with white beard and hair put his hands behind his back and stared at Luden in front of him coldly. Facing the old man in front of him, Luden spread his hands helplessly.
"I'm sorry, sir, but I did my best."
"Do your best? I don't think that's the word to describe your behavior."
Hearing Luden's answer, the old man raised his eyebrows.
"I gave you a whole team of Van Riel's elite guards, but you can't even deal with a few little girls?"
"Speaking of which, the information you gave me has its own problems!"
It's okay not to talk about this, but when it comes to this matter, Luden is full of anger.
"The owner of that alchemy workshop is not that little girl, but a man! What's more, he is accompanied by a legendary powerhouse! I almost won't be able to come back today, you know?! I really doubt it , you didn’t mean to send me to die on purpose, did you?”
"Please calm down, Ambassador Ruden."
Hearing Luden's complaint, a strange look appeared on the old man's face.
"The opponent has a legendary powerhouse? Are you sure?"
"certainly!"
At this moment, Luden is also going all out. Although he is the official ambassador of Van Riel in name, he is very clear that his identity is insignificant in front of the old man who has such a high position and holds countless wealth. If he gave an answer that satisfied him, maybe his position as an ambassador would not last long.
"It was a little girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a white robe, holding a long golden triangular tin rod in her hand..."
"and many more………"
The more the old man listened to Luden's description, the weirder his expression became.
"The legendary powerhouse you mentioned...is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl? Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure!"
Facing the old man's question, Luden snorted softly.
"The other party has opened the legendary realm! In the realm, my subordinates and I seemed to have been petrified, and we couldn't even move... No, it should be said that in that realm, I couldn't even feel it. Anything other than my own head! If it weren't for my identity, I'm afraid I would have turned into a corpse by now!"
Thinking of this, Luden touched his neck with lingering fear. Obviously, he still remembered the fear of being dominated by the seal.
"...a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl? A legendary powerhouse?"
At this moment, the old man also frowned, and began to think secretly in his heart. In the main world, legendary powerhouses have always attracted attention. In order to avoid such plots as "running into a strong man pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and being forced to kill him by the other party", most of the big men with some background in the main world The family consortium and forces will collect information on those legendary powerhouses and those close to the legendary level to avoid conflicts with them. A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, a legendary powerhouse? Such obvious information, there is no reason why they would miss it, wait...
"You said the girl was wearing a white robe? And she was holding a golden pewter staff?"
"That's right."
Hearing the old man's question, Luden also nodded.
"Thinking about it now, that girl's dress is similar to those priests in the temple... Could it be that the temple is behind the alchemy workshop?"
"It is indeed possible."
The old man tapped his fingers lightly, while his expression darkened. They originally thought that this was a very easy matter, but if the temple was involved, the situation would be completely different.
"Immediately send someone to the temple to inquire. If the temple is really involved, then our plan will have to be changed."
