Chapter 180: Tricks of Fate

Charlotte looked at the disappearing fifth page of "The Labyrinth of Agmiras" and felt that the power of fate was mysterious, unpredictable and irresistible. She was still on the road of continuous labyrinth.

He suddenly remembered that the Lord of Light also controls luck. Although he is not as skilled in manipulating fate as the Serpent of Fate, he is still a righteous god who can influence fate.

"As a follower of the Lord of Light, does Grand Priest Augsradin have any tricks to manipulate fate?"

"Is all this arranged by the high priest?"

Thinking of this, Charlotte shuddered and thought to herself, "Although the Saint Stage has great magical powers, it is definitely not able to do this. I must be overthinking."

He felt the idea coming from the diary. It was still a very difficult task to handle eighteen medium-sized ships or larger. Although Cappadocia was a port city, there were not many ships docked there. After all, it was only a small city with a population of a few thousand.

Charlotte even suspected that if there were no dark trade of slavery, there might be even fewer ships docking in this small city.

He knew that he didn't have much time, so he armed his soldiers with the weapons stored in the General Affairs Office and hurried to the port.

Unfortunately, he still didn't catch up.

Two merchant ships have left the port of Cappadocia.

Charlotte did have a way. He caught up with the two merchant ships by himself. He had the Blood Flame Transfiguration and the Floating World Flowers, so he was confident that he could subdue the two merchant ships. However, after hesitating for a moment, he chose to order the flag of Byron to be raised in the city of Cappadocia and gave up chasing the two slave ships.

Charlotte looked at the fluttering Byron flag and thought to herself, "I hope this clumsy trick can be of some use."

Protagoras was from Fars, so his secret method of Bloody Glory was only hidden in the four universities of Fars. Currently, there were very few people practicing Bloody Glory in the four universities, so this was not the first time that Charlotte was mistaken for a vampire, and he had to take advantage of it.

Although Charlotte is a time traveler and the Fars Empire is not a perfect country, he has not lived here for long, but he already has someone to date, friends, many friends, and relatively loyal subordinates. He can no longer be alienated from this world.

Although he still had no loyalty to the Axel royal family, he really wanted to do something for the people of this country, and if it could quell more wars and allow more people to enjoy peace, he was willing to struggle and work hard for it.

At this time, there were only four merchant ships docked in Cappadocia, including the White Tea, but the progress of the maze-making process reported in the diary was only (1/18).

Charlotte acted decisively and commanded the newly acquired army to seize three merchant ships. To him, the merchant ships docked at the port were like fish on the chopping board, and all resistance was not worth mentioning.

When he captured all three merchant ships, the maze-making progress reported in the diary had indeed arrived (4/18).

The captains of the three merchant ships were very angry. Although they were driven to the dock and did not dare to resist the army of seven extraordinary people and more than a thousand soldiers, they still had the courage to express their dissatisfaction in words.

One captain shouted angrily: "If you do this, no one will come to Cappadocia anymore."

Charlotte smiled and said, "I don't care!"

"Now let me ask you, has anyone ever participated in the slave trade?" The three captains looked at each other. They were all experienced captains, and they knew the "specialties" of Cappadocia. They also knew that the two ships that just left were engaged in the slave trade. They all shook their heads and said, "We are all serious businessmen and have never been involved in the slave trade."

Charlotte immediately called the chief patrol officer of the Cappadocia Patrol Army and asked, "Did they lie?"

The chief inspector replied in a low voice: "They are indeed all honest businessmen, and none of them trade slaves."

Charlotte said with satisfaction: "Since no one is trading slaves, you can choose to join my army or be executed by me."

The three captains were furious, but facing the pointed guns of the Knights of Favonius, they all chose to bow their heads temporarily and agreed to join.

Charlotte performed the same trick he had performed not long ago, but the salted fish he got from the little girl was not big enough, so this time, he only gave the captains and first mates of the three merchant ships the salted fish version of the "stretching legs and staring eyes pills".

After gaining the "loyalty" of the three captains, Charlotte immediately disbanded the sailors of the three merchant ships and incorporated them into his own team. He also promoted the captains of the three merchant ships and the chief patrolman of the Cappadocia City Patrol who had defected to him to the rank of captain.

At this time, the two slave ships that escaped had disappeared, and Charlotte also ordered people to take down the flag of Byron. With this flag, the other merchant ships would not dare to approach.

As for whether the two escaped slave ships would spread the news, Charlotte didn't care. Given the backward means of transmitting information in this era, this was a problem he wouldn't need to worry about for a long time.

Charlotte appointed Dorothy, Anastasia and Belissa as the new captains of the three merchant ships. As for the original four captains, even if they had taken the salty fish version of the stretch-legs-and-stare pill, he would not feel at ease and asked them to return to the ship. After all, that stuff is salty, it is really not poisonous and will not make people explode.

The city of Cappadocia is different from the previous two cities. Machupi is a ruined fortress with no one in it. The Silver Pigeon Castle does not belong to it, but the old owner died and the new owner did not come, so there is a small gap.

But the city of Cappadocia now belongs completely to him, although not legally.

Charlotte issued an order to abolish all taxes without hesitation, exempting all residents from debts to the government, and returning all the taxes from the first two months stored in the general affairs officer's residence to the city of Cappadocia. All taxes before that were sent to Breton, and Charlotte had no way to get them back.

After abolishing the tax, Charlotte did not forget to promote it vigorously. She also asked more than 600 rescued natives of Goling Island to tell their stories and portrayed herself as a "savior."

Charlotte knew that once the Ingrima Empire discovered that someone had invaded its territory, it would definitely send troops to retake the city of Cappadocia.

The taxes he promised would be doubled back by the tax officials of the Ingrima Empire.

So he had to gain more trust, and once the maze of this seaside town was completed, he would take these people to Machupi.

At this time, the envoys of the Fars Empire had arrived at the port of Breton and were sent to the summer palace of the Inglimar Empire, which was specially used to receive foreign guests!

After getting off the ship, Grand Priest Ogusradin visited the Temple of the Lord of Light in Breton and was received by the local Grand Priest. The two Grand Priests stayed together in a friendly manner for an entire afternoon. As for what they discussed, only the Lord of Light knew it, apart from themselves.
