Black sails

Chapter 23 XXIII. Menglan Hotel

Push forward another twenty years to the Battle of Giant Wall, and the Principality of Bema was still a kingdom.

The surviving old king Philip V followed the advice of his prime minister and modeled the system of the Kingdom of Petan on opening national academies in the central royal capital and the east coast to prevent talents from staying in the aristocratic territories where they were born, weaken the dominance of all lords, and absorb fresh knowledge. Blood worked for the court, the "Enlightenment Act" was introduced, and huge sums of money were spent from the national treasury to support education.

As long as you have a secondary education in any department and can pass the exam to the college, you can enjoy this policy.

Whether it is exempting boarding fees and tuition and fees for rural students, there are also considerable bursaries for outstanding students. Those with excellent grades can even go to school for free in addition to eating, and can also make money.

After graduation, those with real talents were assigned jobs and could directly enter the palace and rise to prominence.

The Kingdom of Bema once became a paradise for essayists. There were more and more outstanding talents. Academies were blooming all over the east coast. It was a prosperous time, there were no natural disasters, and the national power was unprecedentedly strong.

It was not until the year 1274 of St. Alan's calendar that the giant wall of defense collapsed, and the Syrian heavenly soldiers invaded. Philip V committed suicide in the city, and later the orthodox heir VI was also lured to death in a foreign country.

In the following years, except for the National Arcane Academy of Pema in the royal capital, all other academies were converted into compradors by the newly supported puppet king and sold to the major nobles on a shareholding basis at a low price.

Although the teachers are still there, and various equipment and teaching materials are still there, the "Enlightenment Act" no longer exists.

And because of the system of the previous dynasty, many people in the Principality of Bema still firmly believe that studying is the way out. Even with high tuition fees that can drain a middle-class family, there are still many students.

This also gave Micah an opportunity.

With just a few dozen gold dragons as his income from a trip, Micah is definitely the richest among the rich.

In the inner ring of Linden City, in a luxurious suite on the tenth floor of a high-end hotel.

When you open the curtains, you can see the magnificent blue scenery of the sea and sky in the port, the spectacular scene of nearly a thousand ships moored, seagulls circling and singing in groups, and the bustling streets scattered in an orderly manner.

The interior is filled with rose-flavored aromatic smoke, gorgeous and clear solid wood texture floors, lavender fluorite crystal chandeliers, the space is quite spacious, the coffee table and chaise longue are also made of precious wood, zigzag spliced ​​wall panels and fine flowers and plants Patterned wall coverings, and a small swimming pool on the balcony.

On the big bed, Micah was naked from the waist up. The first round was over. He watched the three female college students playing and playing in the swimming pool with calm eyes. After watching for a while, he was already lost in thought, thinking about other things.

These female college students come from all over the Principality of Bema, two of them are Bema people, and one is a demi-human with furry animal ears and a tail on the hip. Otherwise, they are no different from ordinary people. This race with only a few animal characteristics is called the Isu people. Unlike the serious native orcs of the Western Continent like Raines Swann, it comes from a piece of land in the direction of the South China Sea of ​​the Western Continent. It is said that its ancestors longed to possess the power of all living things, but... As a result, the entire ethnic group was cursed, but it was just a rumor. They lived a normal life and were a relatively good-looking ethnic group.

The three girls are all young and beautiful, with firm and elastic skin. During the play, their thin clothes have clung to their curves and are looming wet from the water.

They have never been to such a high-end hotel. It is a ten-story building with a small garden and swimming pool on the viewing balcony. It is hard to imagine how much it costs to stay for a day. It must be only for nobles or knights and priests from other places. A character who is willing to live in such a good place.

One of the female college students raised her finger and asked Micah to pass, thinking that Micah had a good status and it would be great if he could become a long-term meal ticket.

They never imagined that Micah was a murderous pirate.

Seeing the female college student's teasing, Micah didn't waste any words, got out of bed and walked slowly to the swimming pool to start the second round.

evening.

The setting sun is like blood.

During the boarding battle, a man entered the ship's medicine warehouse. Micah had to slash his neck with an ax several times before he was killed. He had that deathly look in his eyes, frozen horror, and endless regret and resentment.

Micah woke up from his nightmare and woke up the Yisu among the three women on the bed, rubbing his eyes in a daze.

"This room is available until ten o'clock tomorrow morning."

Micah left these words and got dressed in a hurry. The scholarship had been paid at noon, and it was double the market price. Micah was used to paying in advance, so he was not afraid of people running away, otherwise some sensitive women were afraid of being cheated. Whoring, half-hearted and poor service.

"How long will you stay in Linden City?"

The Yisu man asked. This man spends money generously, and his choices are first-rate. Although his skin is rough, his appearance is good-looking, and he doesn't have any perverted hobbies. In short, he is a rare good person.

"Maybe in half a month, we'll see you again if we have the chance."

Micah adheres to the spirit of never doing the same thing twice, except for the extremely high-quality ones.

He got dressed and went out to the cloister.

The public areas of the hotel are also first-class, with fine fluorescent stone downlights and landscape paintings hanging on both sides.

Micah went down the stairs and prepared to go back to the ship. He remembered that he had to recruit crew members in the past few days. It would be terrible if there were a few people with infectious diseases.

Just when Micah went down to the first floor, he was about to reach the lobby when he saw a group of heavily armed military officers who were not local to Linden City. He was immediately excited. His big picture was printed and published. He hurriedly walked up the stairs due to his occupational illness. When I got to the second floor, I climbed out of the window and jumped out.

Pedestrians on the street were surprised when they saw this man jumping from the second floor. The height from the second floor to the ground was about five meters. Micah's skills were much worse than the others on the boat. In an emergency, his foot sprained and he didn't have time. After the reset massage, I limped away quickly. When I saw the taxi pulled by Chocobo, I quickly stopped it and drove to the city gate.

hotel lobby.

"The cost of a standard room is four silver coins per day. You can upgrade to a room by paying another four silver coins. In addition, we also have a room with a garden and swimming pool for fifteen silver coins per day..."

The good-looking waitress at the counter hasn't finished speaking yet.

"What's the egg hotel? Fifteen silver coins are here. You kill me and take my head in exchange for the money."

A sergeant in chainmail was shocked by the price. In a place as rich as Aram, better hotels cost about the same. Can this place compare with Aram?

"Don't cause trouble." Claude scolded him. He thought that since it was the hotel recommended by that person, he stayed at it and gave him ten golden dragons. That was enough. He wanted to redeem his title and manage the relationship. At least We need eight hundred gold dragons. We will leave this foreign country when the news is over and we can make enough money. "We will live in five standard rooms, and we will have floor tiles where necessary."

Although the money is enough for each of my group to live in a room for ten days and a half, but it is not that bad at this special moment. Take the ten golden dragons as soon as you want. That group of people is indeed the best choice at the moment. Is it possible to become a sailor on a merchant ship? You won't be able to earn it back even if ten thousand years pass.

He has already written a letter back to Yalan to seek help from local contacts, but the time when he was in good times was completely different from the time when he is now in adversity. I don’t know if any friends have generously donated money, and they must have distanced themselves from him.
