Chapter 455 Arrival at Nathaniel
Chapter 455 Arrival at Nathaniel
There were no more accidents for a period of time, and everything was smooth.
Beep! A loud whistle sounded.
At 1:4 p.m. on Tuesday, January 8, the "Wings of Liberty" successfully entered the port in the midst of a heavy rain and arrived at the end of this journey, the capital of the Kingdom of West Falik, Nathaniel, the "City of Law".
This is where the Church of the God of War, which advocates law, prevails, and the rigor of the law can be seen everywhere. It is also one of the five most famous metropolises in the entire Apocalypse Continent, with an extremely ingenious design.
The First District, where King Augustine XIV of Sifalic lived and worked, houses the world-famous Royal Palace, the Palace of Sifalic where the law was enacted, the Tuttoli Gardens, and government offices. It is closed to residents and tourists. There is also the Second District, which is dominated by the Church of the God of War, the Church Square, and other religious facilities. The Third District, centered around commercial facilities such as the National Chamber of Commerce, the library, the stock exchange, and banks, is divided into seventeen districts, arranged clockwise in order of importance.
It corresponds exactly to the "Faric Law" in the Faric language, HamtronrenoreFuric, which has exactly eighteen letters. Eighteen is exactly greater than seventeen, which means that the Faric Law is above everything else.
Zhou Ning picked up his suitcase, left the cabin, and walked into the corridor leading to the deck. In the room across from him, Richie Burke and Ignatius Woods also followed the crowd to the deck, each carrying a suitcase.
In the aisle, he saw the red-haired Robinson standing there. Judging from his hesitation, he must have something to say.
The next sentence is most likely a question on behalf of the forces behind him: Will you stop in Nathaniel next?
At this moment, Red-haired Robinson hesitated for a moment, then walked up and asked:
"Mr. Sternwell, will you be staying in Nathaniel for the next while?"
"If so, the Sifalik Kingdom officials may want to talk to you. I can guarantee that they have no ill intentions. There's only cooperation, no hostility."
really……
Zhou Ning had anticipated this. A capable retired pirate like Red-Haired Robinson could now become a passenger ship captain. There must be a powerful force behind him, but he didn't know which one it was.
Compared with other forces, the official Sifalik Kingdom is relatively powerful and is a neutral force towards itself.
As for communicating with the authorities, Zhou Ning had no resistance. After all, he was in someone else's territory, and as long as he didn't expose his own secrets, he could enjoy the shade under the big tree.
A smile appeared on his lips: "Yes, but the residence has not been decided yet. As long as they have time, they are welcome to come to see me."
"Okay." Red-haired Robinson breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face. He watched Zhou Ning put on his top hat, picked up his suitcase and walked towards the gangway and headed towards the port.
"What are we going to do next?" It was not until he stepped onto the crowded pier that Richie Burke visibly relaxed and asked with a smile.
Zhou Ning shook his head, motioning him to wait, then turned to look at Ignatius Woods who had been following him. His gaze rested on the latter and he smiled, "We've arrived at our destination. Would you like to come with us?"
It's a bit funny to say. Ignatius Woods was so suspicious that he insisted on paying 7000 Victars to beg me to escort him to Bantuan Port west of Nathaniel. As a result, he didn't encounter any enemies along the way, which made him feel that the money was a bit hot to handle.
However, the escort mission has not yet been completed. The mission progress has quietly changed from escorting Ignatius Woods to Bantuan Port to:
[Quest Requirements Change]
[Repel a wave of attackers: (0/4)]
At this moment, Zhou Ning could feel that there were several pairs of eyes staring at this place. Perhaps this was the mission trap of this mission, and the real test had just begun.
As if he hadn't expected Zhou Ning to invite him at this moment, Ignatius Woods's eyes softened slightly as he looked at Zhou Ning. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "I'll go with you first. I'll give you the reward later."
Zhou Ning smiled noncommittally and held up an umbrella: "Let's go!"
This pier is located in the ninth district. According to his next plan, Zhou Ning plans to find a hotel nearby to stay, and then rent or buy a house in the central area. With his strong mobility, it will be more convenient for him to reap the profits.
On every street in Nathaniel, you can see various legal notices posted almost everywhere, some prohibiting extraordinary people from fighting, some prohibiting the use of firearms, and some prohibiting hitting others in any way.
Violators will be punished accordingly, and may even alert the professional teams of the Church of the God of War.
Zhou Ning could only say that it was a good thing that he was not born in the Kingdom of Sifalik, otherwise he would have probably been imprisoned for life.
At this time, after Zhou Ning's eye warning, Ignatius Woods and Richie Burke had also keenly realized that something was wrong, and followed Zhou Ning cautiously.
When they passed a relatively remote alley, Zhou Ning put away his umbrella, suddenly grabbed Ignatius Woods's collar and pulled him back. Suddenly, a row of crossbows with dense alchemy arrays engraved on them appeared in the same place. They had extremely strong penetrating power and penetrated into the ground an inch deep.
Ignatius Woods was startled and looked up hurriedly. Wayne Stewell had been ejected into the air. A revolver first appeared in his right hand, but he then gave up and casually grabbed in the rain. A rapier formed purely of rainwater suddenly appeared in his hand. With a casual wave of his hand, a silent sword energy had already slashed towards the distant wall.
In an instant, screams rang out one after another, and four lurkers appeared in the distance. In a flash, raindrops connected into bundles and nailed the four lurkers to the wall.
Zhou Ning breathed a sigh of relief. The ability of this stand was stronger than he had expected. He didn't even have to do anything, and four level 60 BOSS-level enemies were defeated by him with ease.
At this moment, a prompt sound of mission completion came from my mind:
You completed the B-rank mission: Escort. Because you allowed Ignatius Woods to witness your strength firsthand, your bounty has been increased to 8000 Vectra.
[You have triggered a new mission: Escort II. Do you accept? Yes/No]
[Reward: Unknown.]
Zhou Ning curled his lips. He originally wanted to save trouble and just take him to Nathaniel, but he didn't expect to accidentally trigger a series of tasks?
At this time, Ignatius Woods stepped forward to investigate. Zhou Ning keenly noticed that Ignatius Woods had found a badge with a hammer and a wrench on it from the enemy's body. His brows furrowed even more. He then drew his dagger and stabbed the four enemies to death one by one.
Hammer and wrench...
If I'm not mistaken, this should be the emblem of the Church of Alchemy and Craftsmen. In the background of the Apocalypse game, Edgeworth, the god of craftsmen, was judged to be an evil god, and after his death, this church became a secret organization. At the same time, they also have a close relationship with the Life Alchemy Association. Could it be that Ignatius Woods is related to them?
After finishing all this, Ignatius Woods handed Zhou Ning a stack of banknotes with an expressionless face. His voice was hoarse: "This is the payment we agreed on earlier. I'll pay it in full. I have another commission next. Escort me to Bantuan. Are you interested in taking it?"
