"Steel, guns and the industrial party across the world (

Paul's grand dinner ended happily.

When the next day dawned, the wharf area was almost full of people, not only the residents of Fulan Port, but even the residents of nearby villages and towns came to join in the fun and send off the three expedition fleets.

Port Fullland Mayor Theodore specially hired a group of bands to play music on the pier, making the atmosphere lively.

After the three commanders, Stanford, Glenn, and Nigel, bid farewell to Paul and his party, they stepped onto the springboard of their respective ships.

Then their ship hoisted its sails and anchored, moved out of the berth amidst cheers from the shore, and sailed towards the sea.

There are three expedition teams, each of which has three ships, and they are all newly built three-masted sailing ships, equipped with more than 150 crew members.

Yes, with the improvement and upgrading of technology, the influx of private capital, and the introduction of a large number of skilled craftsmen from Jiaowan, the shipbuilding technology in the Northwest Gulf is developing by leaps and bounds. A three-masted sailboat similar to a Galen ship has appeared in Among the major shipyards, those with longer hulls and larger load capacity began to become the backbone of maritime trade.

In terms of appearance alone, the three-masted sailing ship that Paul equipped for the exploration team was larger and stronger than Columbus's Santa Maria and Magellan's Victoria.

But, the sailboats of the Europeans were improved by steadily accumulating technology little by little, and the current sailboat of Arda was "born" by Paul in a sense. Whether it is strong enough and whether it can cross the ocean is really a question. It is unknown, and it is not known how big the ocean in this world is.

"Wish them luck!"

After praying silently in his heart for a long time, Paul patted the resentful Navy First Fleet Commander Quick and prepared to leave the pier.

"You should entrust such a dangerous task to the Navy, not to a group of rookies."

Quick complained to Paul that he remembered the glorious feat of driving the South to Cape Bay to open up a maritime trade line in 1990 in the Holy Calendar, and he was always unhappy at the Zhuang Xing banquet yesterday.

Ah, I really want to lead the fleet to an unknown sea again, and earn great glory again!

Knowing Quick's current mood, Paul persuaded him, "Quick, give the opportunity to young people."

"What? Lord Greyman, do you think I'm old? I'm only in my early thirties this year!"

"Uh...I didn't mean that..."

Just as Paul was thinking of something to comfort Quick, an attendant squeezed out of the crowd and hurried to his side.

"Master Graham, Miss Setia has something important to ask you."

"Oh? Where is she?"

"It's there, look!"

Paul looked in the direction the attendant pointed, and saw a Li Ying standing on the second-floor balcony of a tavern and beckoning to him gently.

He found Ladi quickly, and was surprised when he saw the person.

"What happened? Why do you look like you haven't slept all night?"

"This is not a place to talk, Mr. Grayman, please go to the city hall to find a place where no one is around, and I will report to you in detail."



"What... what?"

Compared with the little surprise just now, Paul was really surprised this time!

"Another wizard...uh, another wizard came to my territory?"

Seeing Paul's reaction, Ladi felt a twinge in her heart, but she still confirmed to him: "Yes, and some of them contacted me, just yesterday evening."

Ladi recounted what happened yesterday evening in detail, but concealed Sylvia's "conspiracy".

"Um…"

Paul closed his eyes, folded his arms, and sat in a chair, thinking carefully.

"Master Grayman, what are you going to do...how do you go about dealing with them?"

Ladi asked cautiously.

"Deportation? Or... imprisoning them, or... or handing them over to the church?"

"Do not!"

Paul answered without hesitation.

"They're just newcomers! They haven't committed any crimes, at least not since they came to the North West Bay. Remember what I said? I'll keep the 'good' among them and arrest the 'bad' .So, let's see how they perform in the future."

"Master Graham..."

Looking at Paul's sincere eyes, an inexplicable emotion surged in Ladi's heart, which made her feel warm all over.

Just now she had almost made up her mind that once Paul decided to imprison Sylvia and the others or hand them over to the church, she would immediately report to let the wizards escape, and then she would plead guilty in front of Paul herself.

Now, all doubts are gone.

"Huh? Why are you blushing?"

"Uh...no, nothing."

Ladi replied evasively, and at the same time turned her face away from looking directly at Paul, although it was a bit impolite.

"Master Gleiman." She stabilized her mind and said again: "Even so, we can't guarantee whether there are any unstable elements among them that may pose a threat to the territory or even your safety. You know, a spellcaster Even for another spellcaster, the means are often unpredictable, have you forgotten the assassin who blocked the way?"

Ladi's words reminded Paul of the mysterious roadblocker four years ago. He was invulnerable and powerful. Killing people with bare hands was easier than killing a chicken. Fortunately, he couldn't stop the bullets, otherwise his entire team would be killed. It's all in his hands Then what do you think should be done? "

"Please ask Master Cecil to send someone to monitor around their residence, do not disturb them on weekdays, and take action immediately if you find something abnormal. And I... no matter how busy I am at work, please let me meet once a day."

"It's not a long-term solution."

Paul waved his hand, "According to what they said, they escaped from Jiaowan. They must be very sensitive to everything around them. What if they think that we are going to harm them and act aggressively?"

"That's true..." Ladi was struggling in her heart, whether she should tell Paul about Sylvia's "conspiracy" or not.

"Master Grayman, I am very sorry, I just concealed..."

Just when Ladi made up her mind to tell the whole story, Paul suddenly slammed the table.

"Well, let's go see them."

"what?"

"Go see me and explain everything."

Paul explained, "What's happening now is they can't judge if we're going to be against them, and we can't judge if they're going to be against us, and then they can't judge if we're judging... ah, I'm confusing myself, anyway. That's enough to form... Well, how should I put it, let's use a 'chain of suspicion' to describe it. Fortunately, we are all human beings, we all speak a language we can understand each other, and we are not separated by millions of light-years. Hehe, I don’t worry if I’m separated from them by millions of light years.”

Ladi was a little confused when he heard what Master Graham was talking about behind, what chain of suspicion, what light years.

But the previous words are easy to understand.

Go to a meeting and talk about everything. This is indeed the easiest and most effective way.
