Chapter 432: 　 Ark Harbor

The flow of the water became a bit turbulent, and Lily sullen her face and stared at Alan angrily. In the years since she was born, no one has dared to speak to this human being in front of her. Lily tried to recall that this way of speaking seemed to be called reprimand. A human being scolded the princess of the Naga clan!
There is nothing more infuriating than this.
In response to Lily's anger, the waves intensified quietly, and even formed a small whirlpool under Lily's body. The vortex first rotated in a clockwise direction, and then turned upside down after a while. So a column of water rose on the sea, and the princess of Naga rose from the sea. She is short, only the height of a human girl twelve or three years old, but she looks at Alan condescendingly through the rising water column.
It's just that green face, it's hard to make people feel the majesty from the superior, even though Lily is trying to make herself show this. After she believed that she had shaped the majesty of the princess, she said: "Am I wrong? You humans are some disgusting creatures, you always? No? Wrong? Coveted by other people. Aggression, plunder , You are savage and cruel, for the sake of your own selfish desires, you will not hesitate to infringe the interests of others. Such an ugly life, I don't think I have made a mistake."
Allen shook his head and said: "I don't deny that there are such people in humans. But after all, these are only a part of humans, not all humans. As far as I know, there are some people who are brave and strong. In order to protect their own Compatriots, they are willing to sacrifice themselves and stand on the front line against foreign enemies! They are warriors and heroes, and their brilliance is enough to illuminate the dark side of mankind."
"There are always two sides to things, such as day and night at the same time. Day and night alternate, this is the law of nature. If your Highness, your Highness may not be completely correct. If you don't say it, just say that during the day, your pet will be half An island shattered. I want to ask your Highness, are the innocent people on this island who captured your people? They don't even know what happened!"
"This..." Lily's small face was a little panicked, like a kid caught doing a wrong thing, her eyes rolled around, and she was about to make excuses to stall.
Allen spread his hands and said: "So you see, in this life, we may not necessarily do all the right things. There is only one point, since we have made a decision and put it into action. Then whether it is right or wrong, we need to do it for ourselves. Responsible."
"I……"
"Ah, I'm going back! Anyway, let's not meet again!" Lily angrily stepped on the water column with her little foot, turned and took a dive, and then jumped into the sea. The blink of an eye has disappeared on the dim sea.
Alan looked at the sea and shook his head. At this moment, someone on the beach called him, and he put the fishing rod away and walked over.
Lily kept swimming to the depths of the ocean floor, and after a while, a shadow floated from the water, supporting her on it. It was the Kraken who attacked the island in the morning. Its wounds have been treated. Although its vitality has not recovered, it can move freely. It supported Lily and swam to the underwater palace. Lily sat cross-legged on its big head, patted the sea monster and whispered, "Mamen, what he said seems to make sense..."
The sea monster opened his mouth, let out a low tweet, and walked away.
At dawn, the Paradise set sail. The sailboat left Pearl Harbor to continue the final journey. This time went well. After a week of sailing at sea, the Paradise arrived at Ark Harbor. When entering the harbor, Allen could see from the boat that the cliff facing the sea was hollowed out, and a z-shaped avenue opened out of the hollow mountain, which could reach the top of the mountain.
The natural stone pillars are arranged at intervals, forming a unique landscape of Ark Harbor, the Corridor of Storms.
Ark Port is a special port, not directly facing the strait like Violet Port. The entire port city is actually located on the top of the mountain, and the dock is located in the belly of the excavated mountain. When the paradise drove into one of the piers of the belly, Allen unexpectedly discovered that it was not dark at all. There are large and small gaps above the hillside, and sunlight is cast through these gaps, forming a beam of light, illuminating the entire pier.
What's more, there are street lights on the pier. These street lights use real electric energy to emit light. Even at night, just the street lights on the pier are enough for lighting. The paradise crew stopped at one of the berths, the sailors lowered the deck, and the guards began to the slaves off the ship. Allen and others disembarked with Roger through another dedicated deck and came to the pier. You could see several merchant ships nearby loading and unloading goods. Horse-drawn carriages dragged people and goods out of the dock, followed the dedicated passage into the Stormy Corridor, and then headed to the city on the top of the mountain.
"This is really a wonderful city." Allen said sincerely.
Roger laughed and said, "I also had this idea when I first came here. I even dug out the docks and corridors in the belly of the mountain. I have to admire the ancestors of Count Aubin for this perseverance and idea."
Oban Ridley is the owner of Ark Harbor and the surrounding vast territory. There are several barons and viscounts attached to this Lord Earl. The earl’s family is one of the empire’s famous families. The family’s history can be traced back hundreds of years. It can be called a long family history. At the same time, the Ridley family is also the founder of Ark Harbor. When the family first came to Ark Harbor, it was just a small village.
After the Ridley family's management, it gradually changed from a village to a town, and finally became a port city that is now famous for the empire.
After driving through the corridor of the stormy waves in a carriage, and arriving at the top of the mountain, a beautiful city came to light. Clean streets, lush green trees, beautiful stone corridors, sculptures, squares, and fountains are scattered in every angle of the city. Although it is a city formed after continuous expansion, it has done enough planning. Only the appearance of the building can tell the difference between the old and the new, but the city itself is integrated, like a huge work of art.
The most in cities are shipyards. They are located on the edge of the city and even form a distinctive street. On this street called Ark Avenue, business travelers are endless, and many merchants from other places come here to designate a certain factory to order their own caravan's sailboats.
When the carriage passed the central square of the city, Allen saw a special sculpture. It was a sculpture of a ship's bow. Although it was carved out of stone, the stone sculpture was finely carved with wood textures. It's not that the stone is dominated by a natural gray tone, otherwise people will mistakenly think that it is a part unloaded from a certain sailing ship.
At the bottom of the bow sculpture is a name engraved, Olorideli, the ancestor of Count Aubin and the man who built the city's first sailing ship.
The carriage finally came to an old castle. The exterior walls of the castle are all made of natural white rock, with a name that matches its shape, the White Castle. The White Castle is the birthplace of the Ridley family. After the ancient arches of the castle, the carriage stopped on a cobblestone square. Roger took Allen out of the cart, and someone guided the cart away.
A middle-aged man with the appearance of a housekeeper trot over and shook hands with Roger affectionately and said, "It's been a long time, Roger husband. This time I have to trouble you to bring the war slaves that Lord Earl needs."
"You are still in the same spirit, butler Mace. I have made an appointment with the earl. I wonder if he is free now?"
"Yes, Lord Earl heard that you are here and is waiting for you in the study." Butler Mays pretended to be mysterious: "If there is no accident, there is still a big business waiting for Roger's husband."
Then he looked at Allen and said, "This one is?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce. This is Baron Allen, he is my partner. Come with me this time to worship the Earl Marquis." Roger laughed.
"Baron?" Mace looked at Allen unexpectedly: "It's surprisingly young."
Allen smiled slightly, and Roger had already notified him. At the moment, taking the opportunity of shaking hands, put a small bag of gold coins into the butler's pocket: "Please also the butler Mace to introduce me."
Metz laughed dryly: "The Lord Baron is also unexpectedly generous, you two come with me."
Although the castle has gone through a long period of time, it is surprisingly not gloomy inside, thanks to the consideration of lighting at the beginning of its construction. This requires the designer to carefully consider the orientation of the castle, the distribution of doors and windows, etc. Now what Allen sees are long but bright corridors and spacious interior spaces.
Walking in the castle ~EbookFREE.me~ you can see well-maintained oil paintings, sharply wiped armor, and potted plants everywhere. It can be imagined that the daily cleaning work of maintaining this castle is a huge project. But after so many years, the castle can't see any traces of dilapidation. This shows the earl's family and the hard work invested in this castle.
Soon he came to the earl's study, and after the butler of Mays gave a briefing, Roger took Allen in. The study was very quiet, and there was a light fragrance in the air. It's not like a floral fragrance, it's like a smell of incense wood.
A man was reading a book, he was bathed in the bright sunlight by the window, and that was Earl Aubin. The earl, who has entered middle age, looks surprisingly young. Perhaps because of proper maintenance, that white face looks only thirty years old at most. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his head, and behind a pair of gold-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, there were a pair of eyes with blue pupils.
His gaze fell on Allen first, then moved to Roger's face, and then smiled: "Welcome to Ark Harbor, the journey has been hard, Roger husband. And...Sir Allen?"
