Chapter 281 The beginning of a big event
because Hardy's output has strong energy.
As a magician, Patience can transform it into pure magic power and strengthen her own strength.
This is why she was so greedy when they met.
Hardy looked at her efforts and asked: "Why don't you try to act directly on the body, maybe the effect will be better?"
Pei Guangsi stopped, her expression was a little sad: "I'm sorry, I'm not mentally prepared yet. ."
Hardy shrugged indifferently: "As long as you are happy."
Patience continued her efforts.
It's just that her mood is somewhat affected.
After all, she and Varus Clovis once truly loved each other.
More than an hour later, Patience swallowed the energy and began to sit aside and meditate, refining it into magic power.
About half an hour later, Patience stood up and said: "I will go to Kievan Rus the day after tomorrow. Please stay with me for the next two days. The stronger I am, the safer the road will be."
A beautiful woman went on the road alone. There will be some dangers.
But the 'danger' thing knows what to do, and as long as you are strong enough, it will not come to trouble you.
In the past two days, Patience received a lot of energy.
He abruptly increased her strength by about 10%.
But the effect after that was much worse.
Then she set off, driving her carriage and leaving Tacoma County in a hurry.
Kievan Rus is far away from here, nearly three thousand kilometers.
She goes back and forth every time. If everything goes well, it will take about three months. If not, it may take one or two years.
After Patience left, Sophia took a moment and asked a bit resentfully: "That lady, does she have a daughter?"
Sophia previously thought that she was quite 'good', beautiful, polite and well-educated. I like food and travel and have a good taste in life.
However, the appearance of Patience told her what a real high-quality woman is.
She looks just as good as you, has a better temperament than you, is more capable than you, is more independent, and can help men do great things.
Unlike her, apart from managing some trivial things, she mainly focuses on 'companionship'.
Not much competitiveness.
Hardy shook his head and said, "No."
Sophia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s better not to have a daughter.
Originally, she was a little resistant to her daughter learning magic.
I'm afraid that my daughter and Hardy can't help themselves or something.
But now her mind suddenly changed.
Hardy is so young, so handsome, and so powerful. It is absolutely impossible for an 'old woman' like herself to become his head wife.
After that, it must be that kind of beautiful noble girl who can become his wife and the lord's wife.
And by then, he should still have a place to stay, after all, being a lover is sometimes quite useful.
But the question is what to do with my daughter?
Being kicked out?
Marry another noble?
How many young nobles in this world are better than Hardy?
Rather than taking advantage of outsiders, it would be better to let her daughter marry Hadi.
After figuring this out, she became more gentle towards Hardy.
And intentionally or unintentionally, Hardy mentioned the need to take good care of Gui Wenir in front of him.
Hardy didn't think so much, not because he had low emotional intelligence, but because now his energy was focused on managing the two territories.
Unlike Jukaro, both Aigaca and Tacoma were "passively" assigned to Hardy's name.
We are undertaking major infrastructure construction again, and if we don't manage it carefully, it can easily lead to chaos.
He was dealing with government affairs that day, and then the guards came to report.
"Lord, there is a ship floating outside the port, and it is full of dead people!"
Hadi was surprised: "What is the specific situation?"
"The flag of the Aijaka Empire is hanging on the ship. All the people are dead, and all the cargo is Gone." Pirate?
Hardy stood up, ordered a hundred cavalry, and rushed to the port.
On the right side of the harbor, construction is underway. The players are building very quickly, and there is already a prototype of a dock.
At this time the project came to a halt.
A large crowd gathered at the old port to watch the excitement.
Hardy walked to the port and found a medium-sized trading ship anchored at the far right dock.
Those people also gathered here.
After Hardy arrived, people immediately made way for him.
Hardy used the boarding ladder to get directly to the ship.
Several dead sailors were seen on the deck.
There were pools of blood everywhere, it had turned black, and there were large flies flying around.
Hardy looked at the corpses of the sailors. According to experience, these people were killed with scimitars.
Then they went down to the cabin and found the bodies of more sailors underneath, and then the body of the captain.
A middle-aged man from the Aijaka Empire was lying in a large black stain. His hands and legs were cut off. He should have bled to death.
Very cruel method.
Hardy looked around and found that almost everything of value had been swept away.
It looks like he was murdered and passed on.
But Hardy didn't think so: "If it was just about killing people and getting goods, why not tow the ship away? You must know that the value of this ship is not low."
These words go directly to the core.
The Sheriff had always thought it was a robbery by pirates.
But now I don’t dare to think so.
Because Hardy is right, if it is a pirate, there is no reason not to sail the ship away.
Hardy got off the boat. He always felt that something was wrong with the boat. The temperature in the cabin was low, and goosebumps appeared on his skin in the cold spots, which seemed to be a bit creepy.
Then he vaguely remembered that when he was reading guides on the forum in his previous life, someone seemed to have mentioned a special mission, the ghost ship incident.
It also appeared in the Aijaka Sea.
So he said to the sheriff next to him: "Go get a few barrels of kerosene, pour it on the deck, light it, and push the ship away from the dock." "
Isn't this a waste?"
"This ship is a bit wrong. It's so right, it seems to be deliberately letting us discover it." Hardy sneered: "Then we can't do what they want, we will burn the ship directly."
The Sheriff wanted to say whether Hardy was thinking too much. , but the lord has spoken, how dare he disobey it!
Soon several barrels of kerosene were brought over and sprinkled on the deck and ship's strings.
First push the boat away from the dock, and then throw the torch over from a distance.
The kerosene burned instantly.
The ship was surrounded by fire, and it actually let out a weird scream. Listening to it, you felt your brain was shaking and you felt sick.
The onlookers on the land were so frightened that their faces turned pale. In less than five minutes, almost all the onlookers ran away.
The ship burned at sea for a long time, about five hours, before it turned into a few black pieces of wood and fell apart.
And the screaming continued for at least three hours.
It was indeed the ghost ship incident.
Why so far in advance?
Hardy found it incredible.
Because someone in the previous life specially compiled a 'big event' in the game, Hardy read that post.
According to the expert's review, the ghost ship represented the 'beginning' of the first war between humans and demons.
This matter now is at least about three years ahead of schedule compared to the original path.
Could it be that he changed the plot too harshly and indirectly affected the situation on the demon side?
Hardy returned to the Lord's Mansion, subconsciously crossing his arms and thinking.
Gui Wenir walked in. She looked at Hardy with her big flashing eyes and asked: "There is a magic that I don't understand... Sir Hardy, you seem to be very troubled? Do you have a headache? Do you want me to help you?" Want a massage?"
Her little face turned light pink, which was very pretty.
Sorry, I'm feeling a little unwell, so I can only do two updates today.
