Chapter 552

"Hostages?"

In the luxuriously decorated first class cabin, little Yod, the successor of Yod chamber of Commerce, frowned, looked at the captain who suddenly came in and disturbed him, "hum" and smashed the exquisite sterling silver glass on the table.

The officer with black iron complexion stood at attention trembling at the door, bowed his head and held his chest high, and dared not breathe. He seemed to forget that he still had the title of "imperial Baron", and the other party was just a businessman.

But this "mere merchant" controls the wealth of the Principality of Byrne and even the whole south. Even if he doesn't dare to kill a baron openly, he can lose his family and even be doomed!

"Where are the hostages?"

"Ah... Yes!" the officer instinctively raised his head and stood at attention: "it's the merchant ship called the black sparrow... They claim to have saved it inadvertently, but as far as we know, it's a group of thieves on the gem River, specializing in..."

"I didn't ask you that!" seeing that the officer still didn't understand the point, the impatient little Joad stared at him: "I asked who the hostage is... You came here specially, it won't have nothing to do with me!"

"Oh, yes... Hostages!" the officer quickly flattered. "It is said that his name is Isaac Yod, a wizard of the Royal wizard Academy."

"Originally, we intended to exterminate these thieves on the spot, but since they have hostages and are related to the yode family, we came here to ask you..."

Feeling that little Joad's expression was not very good-looking, the officer's voice became smaller and smaller and retreated two steps.

"Isaac Joad... A little strange." sighed. Little Joad, holding his shoulder, had empty eyes and tried to remember the name.

Yode is not a big family, but there are still dozens of people after several generations, including more relatives... Of course, only the immediate family can control the chamber of Commerce, and the collateral can either work in the chamber of Commerce or find their own way out.

So it's no surprise to little Joad that there is an unfamiliar wizard relative.

If you are really a family member, it's nothing for you to spend one million to redeem people. Later, someone from the chamber of Commerce investigated him and had reason to refute... Especially at this very moment, it's very helpful to have a family member who is grateful to you!

Everything... All started from the night of "big gamble" - even after a period of time, little Joad still felt chilly when he remembered it.

In order to expand the trade network of yode chamber of Commerce and its plan to go north, little yode joined the chamber of Commerce in the imperial capital to seize Lauren Turin, Brandon de sallion's only confidant, in a big gamble, and blackmail him with high gambling debts to work for the chamber of Commerce; Who ever thought that in the end, he would let the other party rob 300 million at one go and nearly lose his fortune!

The plan to control his highness Brandon de sallion failed, and the northward strategy was declared bankrupt. His father even cancelled his status as heir to the chamber of Commerce... He would have nothing except his property.

The imperial chamber of Commerce, who comforted himself before leaving, will only celebrate behind his back... In order to win them over again, yode chamber of commerce must pay more costs and give them more benefits;

Their confidants, running dogs and women will enlighten themselves and can't wait to sell everything to their new owners;

His brothers will pretend to be frightened and take over the position he left, and then try their best to drive him into the abyss. One more day of their existence is a threat to them;

It's over, it's over!

If you just go back to Byrne, you really have no hope at all.

Fortunately, the wizard was willing to mortgage the gambling debt with the gold bond of Yod chamber of Commerce... Otherwise, if he was asked to directly take out the physical object worth 300 million silver coins, without returning to Bain, his father old Yod could go to the imperial capital and devour himself alive!

Of course, more likely results. It's a situation in which the Joad chamber of Commerce and his highness Brandon never die - but before that, they will die, and they will die ugly, very ugly!

At this time, even if it was just a life-saving straw, little Joad had to hold it tightly in the palm of his hand!

This hostage... May be an opportunity to save a little face in front of my father and the whole family, or at least give my father an excuse to be lenient.

"The hostage... Where is he now?!"

"Still on the ship of the thieves, they refused to let people go..." seeing the fierce light in little Yod's eyes, the trembling officer quickly said: "but the mast of their ship has been interrupted by our crossbow, and the captain has been detained on the deck by us, if you want to see him..."

"What are you doing here?"

Hysterical little Joad stood up directly, threw the wine cup in his hand and hit the officer's head directly: "why don't you call him in for me?"

"Yes, yes!"

……………………………………

"Lord Joad, what can I do for you?"

The "black sparrow captain", who supported his body with a wooden prosthetic leg and had only one eye, completely lost his ferocity in front of the dog leg. He knelt in front of little Joad and flattered in a flattering tone.

For such a dog like person, little Joad is disgusting or disgusting... But he still needs him now. His face is very ugly:

"Stop pretending, I know what you're here for - as long as you confirm that the man is really a member of the yode family, a million silver coins will be given to you."

"Well, our safety..." Captain Ed was still worried.

"With me, the soldiers of this warship dare not touch your hair." little Yod waved and interrupted him: "take the money and roll as far as you like!"

"Yes, yes! Lord yood!" the flattering captain ed nodded fiercely, and his heart was even more ecstatic - he was poor and unlucky for half his life, and finally bet right once.

To be rich, to be rich!

"We found Mr. Isaac Yoder on the river near the port. He claimed to give help in the imperial capital, but he was chased and killed. He wanted to escape to his relatives in red blood castle in the Principality of Bain."

"Apart from his clothes and defensive weapons, he has almost nothing on him... Oh, by the way! There are also several gold bonds and scattered gold coins of yode chamber of Commerce. We have just collected them for him for the time being, and none of them has been moved!"

"And his accent doesn't sound like a southerner, but like Golovin and eboden..."

The nervous captain of the black sparrow was still talking, but little Joad fell into meditation and his expression became more and more stable; With the captain's words, the image of the hostage gradually emerged in his mind.

Fleeing to the relatives of Byrne in the South and picking out the red blood castle... They are really like the actions of a side branch of the Yod family in a difficult situation;

Gold bonds of the yode chamber of commerce were almost equivalent to gold in the south of the Empire, but they were still rare in Golovin; An ordinary wizard can have this in his hand, which is mostly related to the movement of his family;

As for the accent of Golovin and eboden, it doesn't sound like southerners... It's not surprising. After all, the Wizards of the whole empire are almost concentrated in these two regions. It's no surprise that their accent has changed all year round.

At this point, little Joad can almost confirm that the other party is a member of the Joad family, or at least has some relationship with the family.

Of course, I'm not absolutely sure before we meet... But what if not? It's a big deal to kill all the thieves and let them run away?

Holding the glass hard, little Joad waved his hand to interrupt captain ed, who was still talking, and asked casually, "in addition to these, is there any obvious feature on Mr. Isaac Joad?"

"Obvious characteristics?"

Captain ed looked confused. Didn't he speak clearly enough? But the situation was better than others. He pretended to suddenly realize it and said, "yes! The gentleman's hair and eyes are black!"

"Hmm?" little Yodel was stunned.

Black hair, black eyes

Wizard

Gold bonds

Escape

"Dang --!"

The glass fell to the ground, and the scarlet wine sprinkled on little Joad's stunned face.

"Sir?" Captain ed looked at him in horror.

"Nothing, my hand slipped... I'll give you a million silver coins now." little Joad, who looked up slowly and forced to smile, couldn't hide the ferocity on his face and the killing intention in his eyes:

"Remember, we must ensure the safety of Mr. Isaac Yoder

Must --!!! "
