Chapter 0273: Can't afford to offend, can afford to avoid



"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible."

Kulia shook her head like a rattle.

"There is no such place. It is more like a manor, but the Holy Kingdom cannot sell such a large area of ​​land to a private individual!"

"Isn't there such a thing as an uninhabited area?"

"All the lands of the Holy Kingdom nominally belong to the Holy Kingdom, but such a large piece of land... Mr. Ezio, even if you apply to the Temple, it will definitely not be approved. The rest... are some restricted areas. Such places are not only dangerous, but also restrict humans from entering and living."

"Is it really impossible?"

Hearing Kulia's answer, Fang Zheng was speechless and depressed. Thinking about it carefully, the political structure of this continent has been mature for hundreds of years, and everyone has already divided up the territories that should be divided up. How could there be any left for him? As for the restricted area - hehe, Fang Zheng suddenly recalled the dark swamp where he had fought before. That hellhole, even if Fang Zheng was given money, he would not take it.

But at this moment, Nanali timidly raised her hand and suggested.

"In that case, how about we buy an island?"

"Island?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng immediately became interested, and Nanali also started to demonstrate excitedly.

"Well, Mr. Ezio, don't you know? If you have money, you can buy an island in the Endless Sea? Since I was very young, I have always wanted to buy an island in the Endless Sea. Then I can watch the sunset on the beach every day. How beautiful! But I don't have that much money...ah, but now I have money, I should be able to buy it!"

"That's all lies!"

However, as childhood sweethearts, Kulia shattered Nanali's fantasy with her left hand without hesitation.

"Now, all the habitable islands in the Endless Sea have been bought up, and the remaining ones are small islands that are uninhabitable! There is no point in wasting money on such islands! There is no fresh water on them, and they will be very dangerous if a storm comes. There are also pirates..."

“Woo…”

Nanali's fantasy was shattered, and she pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. But when Fang Zheng heard the news, his expression suddenly changed.

"Wait, you said the Endless Sea... is that the Endless Sea?"

Fang Zheng certainly knew about the Endless Sea. The world was generally divided into three continents, the largest of which was occupied by the Kingdom of the Holy Church and the Kingdom of Magic, while the other two continents were the territories of the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wealth. If we were to use a simple pattern to make a comparison, then the positions of the three continents connected by lines would basically form an inverted triangle, and the sea in the middle of the triangle was the Endless Sea.

This is an infinitely vast ocean. The people in this world do not seem to realize that they live on a round planet. To them, the Endless Sea is an area with no end in sight. In the high-spirited Age of Exploration, countless adventurers set sail, vowing to conquer this area of ​​sea, but most of them disappeared in the Endless Sea and were never heard from again.

Fang Zheng had no interest in the great seafaring adventure, but he was very interested in owning a piece of his own territory. In fact, the idea proposed by Nanali really satisfied Fang Zheng. The reason why he didn't want to stay in one place for a long time before was because he had the "Dimension Code" system and had to travel far away at any time. If there was a fixed station, it would be easy for the enemy to target it.

But now, if there is a natural barrier of the sea, then naturally there is no need to worry about some villains coming to the door. As for other problems... for Fang Zheng, they are not a problem.

“Are there any restrictions on purchasing these islands?”

"There's no limit to this, as long as you have enough money..."

"Very good, it is decided."

Hearing Kulia's answer, Fang Zheng nodded.

"I will go and look into the matters concerning the purchase of the island, and you guys just prepare. Once I have dealt with matters here, we will leave immediately."

"Hey? Want to leave here?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Nanali was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise, while Kulia frowned and wanted to say something, but did not.

"Yes, for safety reasons, I want you to leave with me."

Fang Zheng nodded, then he looked at Nunnally.

"I've read the memory of that man before. He is indeed Vanriel's envoy. Although I scared him away this time, he is obviously aggressive and has bad intentions. I'm sure they will come again, and things will become even more troublesome by then. So we might as well stay away from here and find a place to live a quiet life. Besides... this place is really too dangerous."

"This...of course I have no problem with it!"

Maybe she was still thinking about her childhood dream of buying an island to watch the sunrise and sunset, but Nanali quickly gave an answer. On the contrary, Kulia showed a thoughtful expression, and then looked at Fang Zheng anxiously.

"Mr. Ezio, will they really come again?"

"They won't give up so easily. If they come forward with official power, no matter what we do, it will be wrong, so the best way is to stay away from them. If I'm guessing correctly, it should be the fertilizer and greenhouse related technologies that attracted the attention of Vanriel, so they came to cause trouble for Nunnally. Although it is not certain whether this is the intention of Vanriel or the idea of ​​a certain family, but since the other party has already planned to use official channels, it means that they are definitely determined to win."

Fang Zheng didn't know much about the Fire Nation. In fact, the entire Holy Nation knew very little about this great country far across the ocean. The only few stereotypes were that the people of the Fire Nation were aggressive and rude. As a powerful country, they were quite overbearing and often bullied small countries with various excuses. It could be said that this country did not have a very good reputation among the people.

Based on this impression, it is not surprising that the other party sends its own soldiers to arbitrarily arrest people within the Holy Kingdom and even intends to bite back.

"All right……"

Clearly, Kulia knew the reputation of the Fire Nation, so even though she was somewhat reluctant, she had to admit that this was indeed the best way.

At the same time, in the city of Korhal, at the Vanriel Embassy, ​​there was a completely different scene.

"You didn't complete your mission, Ruden."

An old man with white hair and beard put his hands behind his back and stared coldly at Luden in front of him. Facing the old man in front of him, Luden spread his hands helplessly.

"I'm sorry, sir, but I did my best."

"Try your best? I don't think that's the right word to describe your behavior."

Hearing Luden's answer, the old man raised his eyebrows.

"I gave you a whole team of Vanriel's elite guards, and you can't even handle a few little girls?"

"Speaking of which, the information you gave me is problematic in itself!"

It would be fine if we didn't talk about this, but once he talked about it, Luden was filled with anger.

"The owner of the alchemy workshop is not that little girl, but a man! What's worse is that he is accompanied by a legendary warrior! Did you know that I almost couldn't come back today?! I really doubt that you guys are deliberately letting me die!"

"Please calm down, Ambassador Ruden."

Hearing Luden's complaint, a strange look appeared on the old man's face.

"The other party has a legendary warrior? Are you sure?"

"certainly!"

At this moment, Luden was also risking his life. Although he was nominally the official ambassador of Vanriel, he knew very well that his identity was insignificant in front of such a powerful old man who controlled countless wealth. If he could not give him a satisfactory answer, he might not be able to keep the position of ambassador for long.

"It was a little girl, who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a white robe and holding a long golden triangular staff in her hand..."

"etc……"

The more the old man listened to Luden's description, the stranger his expression became.

"The legendary warrior you're talking about... is a little girl of thirteen or fourteen? Are you sure?"

"Of course I am sure!"

In response to the old man's question, Luden snorted.

"The other party has opened the legendary realm! Inside the realm, my subordinates and I were petrified and couldn't even move... No, I should say that in that realm, I couldn't even feel anything except my head! If it weren't for my identity being somewhat useful, 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 that he felt when he was dominated by Feng Jue.

"...A little girl of thirteen or fourteen? A legendary expert?"

At this moment, the old man also frowned and began to think secretly in his heart. In the main world, legendary strongmen have always attracted much attention. In order to avoid the situation of "running into a strong man who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, but is killed by the other party's pretending to be strong", most of the big families, consortiums and forces with some background in the main world will collect information about those legendary strongmen and those close to the legendary level to avoid conflicts with them. A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, a legendary strongman? Such obvious information, there is no reason for them to miss it, wait...

"You said that girl was wearing a white robe? And holding a golden staff?"

"That's right."

Hearing the old man's question, Luden nodded.

"Now that I think about it, that girl's outfit is similar to those of the priests of the Holy Temple... Could it be that the Holy Temple is behind that alchemy workshop?"

“It is indeed possible.”

The old man tapped his fingers lightly, his face darkening. They originally thought it would be a very easy matter, but if the temple was involved, the situation would be completely different.

"Immediately send someone to the temple to investigate. If it is really the temple that took action, then our plan will have to be changed."
