Chapter 170： confederate capital

After Messiah continued to stay for another day, Ladi and her family packed their luggage and prepared to go to the Horn Bay Alliance.

The shop had been transferred to someone else before she returned home, and because of the long journey and the boat going north, the large pieces of furniture were also transferred out.

The family only carried light items such as coins, jewelry, and clothing, and hired a carriage to leave Messiah.

Lisa looked very excited about going to a strange environment, and kept asking about the local conditions and customs of the Northwest Bay around Ladi.

"Uh...you'll know when you get there."

Ladi felt a little guilty, and wondered if the child could adapt to the environment there.

As soon as they left the city gate, they saw everyone from the Lichman Adventure Group waving their hands on the side of the road.

I said goodbye yesterday, do these old friends still want to see her?

The energetic female leader jumped into the car.

"Hey! Ladi, we just accepted a mission to go to the alliance!"

"So, let's go together!"

"Uh... good!"

The female consultant happily responded that it is of course very good to have these friends on the road, and they can get along for a while longer.

The carriage continued to move, and everyone talked along the way.

"What commission did you accept this time?"

"This is a great commission! It will definitely make a lot of money!"

"Oh?"

"A big event happened in the Principality of Eaton recently!"

"The Principality of Eaton? The principality next to the Horn Bay Alliance? What happened?"

"The grand duke's sister-in-law—the grand duke's concubine's own sister disappeared in the Jiaowan League."

"what?"

Ladi had a shocked expression on her face, and her reaction was a bit beyond Meru's expectation.

Seemingly noticing that she was a little allergic, the female advisor quickly returned to her normal expression, and asked indifferently: "That is to say, the Principality of Eaton issued a commission in the Adventurer's Guild?"

"Hmph! The Duke of Eaton and the alliance naturally couldn't get rid of this face at first, but their police officers seemed to be a bunch of rich and poor, and they couldn't even find a little girl. Days passed by, and there was no information at all. They As a last resort, a request was issued to the adventurer's guilds in the major cities."

Ladi's face showed deep worry: "The princess must be in a hurry, her younger sister should be her only close relative."

"Hey? Ladi, do you know the princess so well? Do you know her?"

"Ah? No, no. But the Grand Duchess has always won the hearts of the people in the Principality of Eaton, and her reputation is widely spread. I learned a lot about her from other people."

"It looks like you're worried about her."

"For a ruler like her who is sympathetic to the sufferings of the people, I will naturally sympathize deeply when encountering such a thing."

…

After another two days of voyage, the Nanfang finally arrived at the capital of the Angle Bay Alliance, and also the largest port of the Alliance—Nissberg.

Everyone entered the port, and someone came to find them just as they boarded the pier.

The visitor spoke fluent Aldo language: "Are you all distinguished guests from Arda?"

Quick asked suspiciously, "Are you?"

"I am the deacon of the Foster family, and I am ordered to wait for you at the pier."

It turned out that after the nearest caravan brought back the news that Greyman was about to send a ship south, the Foster family sent people to watch at the pier every day.

According to the description of the second young master of the family, Quiller, the ship from Arda is very recognizable—it doesn’t have a single oar, but stands tall and thick with a huge sail, so it must be it.

The deacon explained the reason, and Quick shook his hand gratefully and said, "The Foster family is really hospitable! Thank you!"

"Wherever we are, we have always had enough enthusiasm for our partners."

The deacon of the Foster family extended an invitation to Quick on behalf of the second young master of his family to stay in the mansion temporarily.

"Thank you, but the others on board..."

"I also brought a few people along, and let them act as guides to lead other guests around the city. We will cover all expenses during the period."

"What a shame!"

"Sure, guest."

"Please wait a moment."

Quick returned to the ship immediately, called all the officers and men of the ship for a brief meeting, and finally decided that he would lead the two sailors to the Foster's mansion, and the rest of them went ashore in batches under the arrangement of the first officer. .

He emphasized that every group of people who went ashore must be led by a military officer, and emphasized the confidentiality regulations. No matter how the other party asked about anything on the ship, they were not allowed to disclose a word.

Just when Quick was about to leave with the deacon of the Foster family, several business representatives came up and asked Quick with tears in their eyes.

After thinking about it, Quick agreed, and with the deacon's permission, they boarded the two carriages sent by the Foster family together.

After galloping for nearly an hour, the carriage finally stopped at the gate of a magnificent mansion.

The grandeur and splendor of this house once again shocked the bumpkins from the Northwest Bay.

"I heard that the head of the Foster family is a member of the Council of the Horn Bay Alliance, and the place where he lives is really extraordinary."

"Yeah Can this area catch up with five or six lord mansions?"

"Look at the decoration, look at the marble, it's better than a castle built of stone."

The people were discussing with each other in low voices. Although they tried their best to keep their voices down, a few words still reached the ears of the deacon of the Foster family.

The deacon puffed out his chest with a proud look on his face.

However, he still introduced to everyone in a gentle and respectful voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived. This is the residence of the Foster family."

He stepped out of the carriage first, stood at the door of the carriage, bowed slightly and made a "please" gesture.

Everyone twisted their bodies uneasily. To be honest, it was the first time for them to enjoy this kind of treatment. Both Quick and several business representatives were civilians, and no one had ever made such an elegant etiquette to them.

They guessed in their hearts: "This should be the legendary etiquette of nobles?"

Then there was another question: "But I've never seen Earl Greiman be so particular about it."

"Hmm! Brothers, let's get off the carriage."

Quick reacted and reminded the others to get off the carriage. At this time, Mr. Deacon was still in the posture of inviting, motionless, but he almost couldn't help laughing when he heard Quick's rough words.

"Oh! Well, well."

Everyone straightened their posture first, and then got up, with stiff smiles on their faces, and slowly got off the carriage with a determined movement.

The deacon closed the door for them, the groom waved his whip, and the two carriages left the gate.

"Everyone, please follow me in."

Everyone followed the deacon anxiously, sweating profusely.

Today they have already put on what they think is the most appropriate clothes, but compared with the servant of the Foster family in front of them, they are simply old-fashioned hats, so they are not too cheap.
