119 Chapter 118
It was foggy early in the morning. A medium-sized sailboat came out of the fog, followed by a dozen more medium-sized and small sailboats. Bryan and James were standing on the deck of the first sailboat.
"Mr. James, it seems that we are almost inside Sedona City's territory." Bryan said, stretching his waist. He licked his lips as he thought about the food in Sedona City. "We're finally going to arrive after traveling for the whole night."
James looked at Bryan strangely. 'Why do you seem like you're really looking forward to going to Sedona City?' What James didn't know was that Bryan was excited for the food of Sedona City.
"Yeah, we're about to arrive. I'll have to leave again at noon, so I hope that I can make it." For a split second, a smile was on his face. He had completed his mission unexpectedly well. He glanced at Bryan. 'I didn't expect there to be this many merchants going to Sedona City. They seemed to have been brought here by Mr. Bryan. I hope that this isn't a conspiracy or something like that.'
Bryan nodded his head. He hadn't expected that Lucas would have the horse thieves' attack plan and that his father would immediately agree to his request of going to Sedona City. His father didn't ask why and just told him to urge Lucas to send out people to help Sakura City. "I don't know why, but I feel relaxed and am looking forward to what's happening next." Bryan said, smiling.
'What, do you want to permanently stay and live in Sedona City?' James thought that the idea was ridiculous and quickly discarded it. "Mr. Bryan, did you call over those merchants?"
"Yeah. I bought some things back from Sedona City and resold them to the merchants. And now, they're coming along with us to Sedona City." Bryan said to James.
"Huh?" James hadn't expected that to be the reason.
"No need to be surprised. Anyone that went to Sedona City would attract more people to go to Sedona City, especially those disgusting merchants that smell of copper coins." Bryan had a weird feeling as he felt like he was talking about himself.
"Indeed, I agree with that point." James thought about how fast Sedona City was changing. Everyone was extremely motivated for work, and it was like it was a different place every day.
The two of them stood there quietly, looking at the slowly fading fog and the rising sun.
More than half an hour later, the fog completely disappeared, and the scene in the distance attracted their attention.
"Are they… the citizens of Sedona City?" James stood on his toes as he looked at the people carrying wood and stones around.
"They seem to be building a port." Bryan said. He hadn't expected that at all. It had only been a few days since he left. 'Is Sedona City trying to copy Sakura City? It's a pity that Sedona City is in a remote location; otherwise, it might really work.'
The merchants also came to the deck and looked at the people in the distance working.
"What are they doing?"
"They're building a port." A middle-aged man with a big mustache who had just come onto the dock said.
The merchants around him all moved out of the way. This middle-aged man was a big businessman- a big merchant from the capital. His name was Joe, and his main source of income was by obtaining rare and cheap things from various places and bringing them back to the capital to sell.
"Lord Father, why do we have to come to this place? I want to go back to the capital. I want to eat the pastries in the capital." Someone next to him said with a voice filled with disgust.
Joe smiled and dotingly looked at the pouting seven-year-old boy. "Every place has its own values and meanings for its existence," Joe said, stroking his son's hair. "Remember, Gale, you can't hate a place or a person just because of how they look on the outside."
"As for pastries, I still have a few in my bag. You can eat them when we get on shore."
"Oh." Gale said, unconcerned.
Joe wasn't really concerned. Children need to be taught slowly, step by step. He had brought Gale with him because Gale had been acting a bit stubborn recently. Gale was his seventh son. His other children were taking care of his business in the capital while he was traveling with Gale.
The sailboats soon stopped at the edge of the port. The construction had only started the previous day, so they had to use the older port. The people in larger boats had to get on small boats to get through.
"The noble in this territory is a capable one." Joe couldn't help but look at the smiling people working when he got on the small boats. "To be able to have citizens smiling so genuinely, I really look forward to meeting the noble."
Bryan happened to be next to him, and hearing this, he nodded. "Lord Lucas is indeed a capable noble."
"Huh? Young Master Bryan rarely praises people. This made me really curious about the noble in this territory," Joe said. He was really good at communicating with people and making others feel good. This was one of the specialties of Joe which had always helped in getting on people's good side. A merchant needs to be able to convince people with his talk.
"Ha ha ha ha…" Bryan laughed. "You will feel the same way I do when you meet Lord Lucas."
Joe was a bit dumbfounded. He had known Bryan for quite a while and had never seen him worship someone so much before.
James, who had been listening on the side, tried to hold in his laughter. For some reason, hearing others praise Lucas made him proud.
"We're here. Let's get on shore." James said. He was the first one to jump off of the boat.
"I can't wait to go into the city." Bryan looked at his wife and son and waved to a carriage driver at the side. "Rental carriage, come over here."
The carriage driver drove the carriage over and started to tell the price. "Guests, it costs three steel coins per person to ride in the carriage…"
Bryan smiled at the driver and said. "This isn't my first time here. You don't need to tell me that."
"Okay. I'll help you carry your stuff." The carriage driver said, helping the servants carry the stuff onto the carriage.
Just like that, Bryan left in the carriage with his wife and son, leaving behind a group of dumbfounded merchants.
'What just happened here?'
