- "Ziguoluo, what are you trying to bring back? Tell me quickly." I wanted to laugh in my heart, but I tried to hold it back.
"No, it's nothing. They are all equipment that is ready to be infused with the divine water seal. Hi! How did you come back? Didn't they say that you were captured by the giant wolf king of the black-robed man? Well, I just said Stanton and the others are talking nonsense Mr. Diboer, please tell me what is going on." Ziggro was confused, he scratched the back of his head and looked at me with a silly smile.
"Hey, we'll talk about this later. Let's go and discuss something." I couldn't explain what I wanted to do for a while, so I pulled the blacksmith into the base's meeting hall.
The base of the Red Bay Guards was built very quickly and was basically completed in more than a month. I estimate that this is all the work of Zygro and Bitril. The Red Bay base is backed by the cliff by the bay. I originally chose this place to save money on a section of wall, but now it looks really good. The steep rock wall is extremely difficult to climb no matter which side it is, and the intangibility increases A lot of security. The gate of the base opens towards the fishing village. In addition to the heavy iron gate like a fortress, a deep water storage trench was dug outside the gate. The base's wall is fairly simple, it's just made of earth and tamped down, but it's pretty thick. The barracks are neatly built on the left side of the gate. At a glance, they appear to be at least four rows in rows and can accommodate thousands of people. There are also two rows of houses on the right side of the gate. The front row is a restaurant, a treatment center, a craftsman's workshop and an equipment warehouse. The back row is a material warehouse. Behind the warehouse, against the wall, is a stable that can accommodate hundreds of horses.
Walking inward from the gravel road paved by the gate, past the houses on both sides is the flat and wide school field. In the middle of the school field, directly in front of the meeting hall, there is a tall flagpole, with the Third Knights in the middle. The three-character flag is flanked by Princess Lilith's red angel flag and Sir Garr's sea eagle flag (I haven't had time to make my own flag yet, so I don't have mine). Not far away from the left side of the meeting hall are the barracks of each army, and the right side are offices at all levels.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out, and I can¡¯t stop asking him questions.
"Hey, where are the guards here? What's going on today? There aren't any guards in the base." Ziegro quickly realized that the base today was different from usual.
"I sent them out to set up guard. There is a curfew tonight, and we have a group of guests coming." I sat at the main seat of the conference table, drinking the juice that Bitril asked the women to send over, and said happily.
"What kind of guests are they? So important? You mean a group? How many people are there?" Zigello discovered the key to my words.
¡°It¡¯s not that stingy Titlik who¡¯s coming, is it?¡±
Titlik is really notorious, I smiled and said:
¡°It¡¯s not the king who is coming, but hundreds of friends from my hometown.¡± When I came, I had already thought about how to explain the identity of the Blue Star people.
"Master Diboer, you mean your hometown, Asia?" The blacksmith's eyes almost popped out.
"There are so many people?"
"Yes, and they won't leave in a short time, I mean a few years or decades."
"Is there room for them to live in the base? I think there are about 600 people in total." I said it very lightly, but the blacksmith Zigro almost fell off his chair.
"What? Six hundred people/!?"
"Yes, you heard it right, my friend."
"We can live here, but how can we feed them? Don't tell me they didn't bring any money." Zigello looked at me in fear.
"Well, it seems like they really have no money." In my memory, Blue Star does not need to spend money, and all resources are shared.
"Plop! Bang!" The blacksmith finally fell to the ground.
"Sir, Mr. Diboer, what are you thinking about this?" Zigro asked in confusion as he got up from the ground.
I didn¡¯t answer him immediately, but thought about it in my mind for a while, and then said:
"They are not only my family, but also my saviors. I must take them in!" I looked at Qieguo and said firmly.
"YeahI understand." Zigello didn't ask any more questions but nodded heavily.
"You can give me some of the skills they are willing to learn, and I will teach them. It's just that it's hard for me to learn this skill in a while, and it's not realistic to rely on their help to make money. It's okay to work on the construction site, but I don't know you. Is your family willing?"
"I know, I just want to discuss this with you. I plan to let them go to the construction site first, and those who don't want to go will join the Knights Well, that's it for now, do you think it's okay?"
? ?It's possible, but it's just that there are so many people coming soon, and we need to prepare daily utensils first, such as mattresses and quilts. "Ziguolu deserves to be a family man and is very considerate.
"That's exactly the case, so I want you to go to the Seweibo Gate again immediately and try to implement this matter as quickly as possible."
¡°I just don¡¯t know what to do these days?¡± This is my most worrying question.
"Well let's do it this way. Let's all make do with it these days. If it doesn't work, go to the village and borrow some. There are many merchants in Hongwan now. Although there are none who specialize in this business, it shouldn't be a big problem to borrow some for emergency purposes." Zigro thought for a while and said.
"Okay, that's it! Hi! Thanks to you, friend Zigro. You don't know that this has been worrying me for a long time."
When I got the answer, I immediately called Hewitt and asked him to get it done quickly and make sure it was done before dark. Hewitt took his leave, and after I said goodbye to Zigro, I went to Beatrille's room without stopping.
By now, Bitril had sat up with the help of the women. When I came, she was looking through the account book.
"Hey, why are you so disobedient? You sit up like this after I told you to lie down." I said sternly, then stepped forward and snatched the account book from her hand, letting her rest.
"Stop looking, wait and see again. Look how thin you have become." Beatrille is much thinner than when I left, and her face has become pale due to overwork.
"Okay, okay, I'll just stop looking. I see how anxious you are." The girl looked at me anxiously, and she probably felt pretty good, and she gave a rare smile.
I took a stool and sat down beside Beatle's bed, and then asked about financial matters. Bitril told me that we don't have much money anymore, and Zygro has basically sold the gold nugget for almost everything. Zigro exchanged more than 20,000 gold coins, but now he has less than 2,000 gold coins left. The main reason for this is that the construction of Hongwan cost a lot. Although the businessmen made some money from renting land, most of them still couldn't make ends meet.
I didn¡¯t hide the fact that 600 people were coming from Bitil, because she would know about it sooner or later. Bitril didn't say anything after hearing this. I thought she didn't want me to worry, but could I not worry? The money we have in hand won't last long, and port construction requires at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins. For the future, ports must be built, but where will the money come from? Just as I was thinking about it, the blacksmith came again. This time he was going to pay a hundred gold coins, but I didn't want him to be too frugal. The money would not be saved anyway, so I gave him an extra hundred gold coins.
Zygro set off, and I came out of Beatrille¡¯s room and returned to the meeting hall. Gansansi followed me without saying a word. I think he also knew something. I walked to the door of the meeting hall, thought for a moment and did not step in. Instead, I came to sit under the flag stand in the school ground.
How to do it? Seeing that the money is gone, why not grab it? I shook my head, thinking that this idea was too unrealistic. Even if the whole knights were dispatched, how many guns could they get? He wouldn't rob Titlik.
"Master, I have an idea, do you agree with it?" Gan Sansi suddenly said.
"Well, tell me." I don't know how this guy could see what was on my mind, so he just treated a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
"Sir, have you heard of the Pirate King?" Gansance looked at me mysteriously and said.
"Don't talk nonsense, that's just kidding." I'm a little tired of this guy saying this.
"No, sir, that pirate king is really a real person, and he is a person from our former Hongwan Fishing Village." Gansanth continued stubbornly, not hearing the dissatisfaction in my words at all.
"Tell the important point! Don't talk nonsense." I heard something. I guess this guy is about to have a dream like Stanton.
"The Pirate King does indeed exist, and he also has treasures." Gansanth glanced at me secretly, found that I was not unhappy, and then continued:
"It is said that the pirate king's treasure is on an unnamed island in the outer sea. There is a cave somewhere, and the treasure he spent his whole life plundering is in that cave."
"Stop talking nonsense, do you have a treasure map to find that island? I've seen people selling that map, but they were all bought by children for fun." I said disdainfully.
"Sir, I don't have the map. I'm not from Red Bay. But I know who has the map, and I'll take you to find it." Gansans thought his plan was so good that it was so good. .
¡°Okay, stop talking nonsense, I don¡¯t have time to listen to your nonsense,,.¡± I waved my hand at Gansance with some annoyance. This guy has the brains of Stanton. Could it be that he is a distant relative?
"My lord, everything I said is true, and some of our knights have been to other islands, but theyIt was a real treasure map, so I came back empty-handed. "
"Really? Who has been there, and who has the real picture?" I originally wanted to scold this guy, but thinking that he was also doing it for the Knights, I held back.
"Captain Gall has been there, it's true. And the picture is in the hands of Hewitt's grandfather." The more Gansanz said, the more it seemed true.
"How do you know?" I hope he can convince me that I really need money, even if it is a legend, I have to try.
"Several of my relatives are bounty hunters. They accidentally saw this treasure hunting mission in the Skeleton Tavern, but no one believed that the treasure was real. But then they picked it up when they had nothing to do, and then took it I came across a treasure map that was said to be a copy of the real map. Later, because of other matters, my relative did not go looking for the treasure, but forwarded the map to his friend Captain Gal."
I finally know why this guy is the only one from outside to join the army. I bet he followed Gar¡¯s path.
"Captain Gal later found the unnamed island, but the map was indeed incomplete, causing him to lose many brothers and all his money without finding the cave where the treasure was hidden. After Captain Gal came back, he found my relative and beat him to death. After a long fight, the two finally looked around for the guy who sent the mission, and finally found out that it was Hewitt's grandfather, and he was almost dying of illness. My relatives and Captain Garr failed to kill him, but they were desperate. Became a pirate in Red Bay"
I see!
"Then isn't your relative also in the Knights? Do I know him?" I asked.
"No more, my relative died on Xiashi Island" Gan Sansi choked up when he said this.
I patted Gan Sanz¡¯s shoulder gently and comforted him a few words.
"Gansance, are you sure the real picture is at Hewitt's house?"
"Well, I couldn't before, but now I can be sure, because when Hewitt took me to his house to play, his grandfather told us because he felt sorry for my relative and said that my relative sacrificed his life for the people of Red Bay. So he said that as long as I believed that the picture was real, I could ask him for it at any time, and he promised not to give me a fake picture. The reason why he offered a reward for the fake picture last time was because he was not sure about the authenticity of the Unnamed Island. When he knew that the treasure map in his hand was real, he had already killed many people."
It seemed that what Gansanz said was probably true, so I immediately gave him an order.
"Gansance, I order you to immediately take Grandpa Hewitt to the base medical center and tell him that the base will treat him for free. Remember, don't mention Tu. This matter cannot be rushed." I still can't believe it. Hewitt's grandfather, so I wanted to see it first before talking about it. The truth of this matter will not be known until Gal comes back.
