The Secret Journey Begins with Becoming a Pirate

Navis, Droll City, in the office of Duke Droll.

With the early morning sun, Droll started his busy day of work today.

Outside the door, Count Otto knocked gently on the door gracefully, then pushed in.

"Grand Duke, are you looking for me?" His face was calm and elegant, but there was a hint of eagerness and worry in his eyes.

When Droll saw Count Otto coming in, he put down his business and stood up, and led him to sit down on the reception sofa next to the office.

After the servant poured a cup of tea for the two of them, Grand Duke Droll spoke:

"We still don't revisit the old. Let's get straight to the point. There are two main reasons for calling you."

He took a sip of tea, and then asked:

"Do you know the new decree issued by the Empire?"

"That "Protection of Rare Wild Fauna and Plants Act"?" Count Otto did not think, but directly replied in a questioning tone.

"Yes. Presumably you should also be anxious about this. This is the first thing." Duke Drol nodded and said.

"Due to the implementation of this law, some of Navest's industries have been affected to a certain extent. This includes marine fisheries, as well as low-level extraordinary materials industries."

"The vast majority of the extraordinary species are listed in the list. This poses a huge threat to Naveste's industry."

"We are already close to the ocean, and rely on the advantages of this location to develop, but obviously some people in the imperial capital hope to cut our way forward. Even if we are only suffering from the unwarranted disaster."

He drew out two cigars and asked the servant to light them for himself and Count Otto. After a sip, he frowned slightly and continued:

"The news came yesterday that our caravan encountered obstacles on the outskirts of Delta. The reason was that our caravan did not have the qualifications to handle rare animal and plant materials."

"Now that shipment is gone."

"Delta confiscated our goods, relying on the newly promulgated law "Protection of Rare Wild Fauna and Flora" regulations. Without authorization, all biological related items in the list are not allowed. Once discovered, they will be confiscated.

"And this qualification is officially recognized and authorized. However, the specific responsibility has not been clarified to which department. The confiscated department does not know which department it is."

"This batch of goods belongs to our two families. And I don’t have anyone more trustworthy than you, and I can’t live without it. So, I hope you can take a long trip."

Although Count Otto knew about this, he didn't know it so concretely. He frowned.

Does he want to understand that even Dagong’s goods dare to deduct? ?

After thinking for a while, he finally took a cigar and replied: "I understand. My task is to retrieve this batch of goods and get the qualification certificate down. This is indeed the most suitable thing for me. Um. ~~~ I will go and prepare."

"Also, we need to go further. We can't put the right to speak in the hands of others. We must fight for the right to speak in this respect." Duke Droll added.

"Navist is the largest source of extraordinary materials in the Hutt Empire. If you don't even have the right to speak, then you just wait to be pinched."

"In this matter, you represent me, represent the entire Navist. You can't be counseled." Grand Drew Droll sat up straight and said in a strong tone.

"Understood." Count Otto also rarely became tough, and said stiffly.

"Well, the second thing." Grand Duke Droll nodded and continued.

"I thought about it for a long time, plus I met someone yesterday, the bishop of the Temple of Axiom-Anthony."

"I heard that Kafka XI is not in good health. We have to make a choice."

"For many years, we have been vacillating between the Temple of Axiom and the Temple of Order. Although the Temple of Order is the main force in Droll City, the power of the Temple of Axiom has become stronger in the north."

"Are you talking about Eaton?" Count Otto interjected.

"Yes, there is Xinmin Sudal. And north of Navis." Duke Droll nodded and replied.

"The alternation of kingship is very common, but the alternation of theocracy is ~~~" Count Botu did not continue to say, I believe the Grand Duke can hear him.

Grand Duke Drol frowned, smoking a cigar, and slowly said:

"We should see that the Temple of Order is becoming more disorderly and weaker, while the Temple of Axiom is getting stronger and stronger because of public opinion. Especially now Eaton is approaching Delta."

"And the Temple of Axiom has begun to be able to compete with the Temple of Order. If the Temple of Axiom wins again in the struggle for royal power, the balance will be broken. The balance will lean towards the Temple of Axiom."

"We all know that although the kingship is separated from the theocracy, it is undeniable that it is impossible to obtain the kingship without the help of the theocracy. And without the support of the kingship, the theocracy is hard to speak.

"If the Walsh Prince wins the throne, then the Hutt Empire will change. And this kind of thing is not an exception in the history of the Hutt Empire. For example, the dynasty at the end of the Fifth Age, the change of theocracy, such as the mid-Fifth Age Theocratic reform."

Count Otto nodded, after listening to the grand prince's speech, he pondered for a while, and suddenly said:

"But there is another news. The Prince Walsh supported by the Temple of Axiom has been kidnapped by the so-called Captain Jack. Hmm~~~ I don't know if this news is good or bad."

"The bad side is that this will make the Temple of Axiom lose its advantage. Otherwise, Jack's reward will not only increase by 5,000 gold coins. The good news is that we know the legendary Captain Jack, that is, Elok Fasma."

"Oh~~ Is he still your son-in-law?" Duke Drol asked in surprise.

"Uh~~~" Count Botu shrugged suddenly, not knowing how to answer this question.

Upon seeing this, Droll returned to the topic and continued:

"Forget it. I think it's a good thing. After all, Delta is firmly controlled by the Temple of Order. Prince Walsh might as well go to the wild to be safe there. If he can go to his uncle, Grand Duke Eaton, maybe hope Bigger."

"Well~~ I still think this is too risky, and if you are careless, you will fall into the abyss." Count Otto tried to dissuade Duke Droll.

In fact, there is still a compromise, which is to support it in secret.

But everyone knows that there is no spring for the fencers.

Therefore, neither Droll nor Otto ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ made this stupid suggestion.

After a long silence, Droll sighed and said viciously:

"Actually, I hate the gang of idiots in the Temple of Order. Those priests are polite, but they do countless things that violate order. They also said blatantly that I was just for order. Then I created a lot of red tape, which seemed to be rules on the surface. It is a manifestation of order, in fact it is all hypocrisy."

"The most important thing is the purpose they are doing. They are just to solicit more rights and get more money." Count Botu added.

"Cough cough cough~~" He coughed twice as a reminder.

Archduke Drol is also aware of his mistakes, but it is not a big problem to say these in front of his friends.

So after taking a deep breath, he said with some loss:

"Forget it. Let's look at this topic for a while, at least to see when Prince Walsh is out of danger."

"I think so too." Count Otto nodded in response. Then suddenly he broke the subject and said:

"That's right. Since I am going to Delta and I have to do this. I think I have to bring a legal adviser with sufficient weight."

"Yeah~~~Yes. Can you choose?" Duke Drol asked softly.

"Professor Palmer. I hope your higher school can release people to me." Count Otto said with a smile.

Grand Drew Droll glanced at Count Otto in astonishment, and said:

"Professor Palmer? No problem, he is indeed a good candidate. When it comes to legal counsel, who can compare to a justice?"

"As for colleges and universities, changing a teacher is not a big problem."

"Thank you then, Grand Duke." Count Botu said with a smile.
