    Ivan didn't expect that Emma would appear in front of him for the first time. It seemed that as soon as she got the news from Haiphong Mountain, she rushed out by boat. Just because of her special identity, she was confirming Ivan's identity.  He didn't show up before.  When the brother and sister met, they were naturally very excited. Emma simply stayed on the Lionheart and chatted happily with Alvin. The two ships sailed towards the port one after the other.  While Ivan was telling Emma about his experiences along the way, he raised his head and looked forward, beyond the barrier of Haiphong Mountain, in the arc-shaped bay, the brightly lit Odelia Port was right in front of him.  After half a year, the urban area of ??Odelia Port has not grown much, but it is obvious that the originally sparse and short buildings have become taller and denser. In addition, there are a total of large and small ships moored at the port.  There are as many as forty or fifty ships, among which there are as many as eight large sea-going ships of the same size as the Lion Heart.  Those small boats can only carry a few people. Seeing those eight large boats, Alvin's eyes suddenly widened.  "These shipsare all ours?" Ivan couldn't help but point to the big ships moored in the port and said in disbelief.  The manufacture of seagoing ships not only meant huge capital investment, but also huge labor requirements. At the beginning, Ivan also gathered all the human resources of Odelia Port and built the metal keel in advance. It only took a month.  The Lion Heart was built in a hurry, and now only in the past half a year, nine large ships have been built in Odelia Port. This is incredible.  In terms of manpower, it may also be explained by the fact that practice makes perfect.  But in terms of funds, if the Lion Heart Leader had the huge financial resources to build nine large ships in a row.  Then Ivan doesn't have to keep thinking about opening up ocean trade across the inner sea.  "Those boats are all ours. They are mainly responsible for small things like offshore patrol and fishing. The crew members on the boats are all from me" Emma knew what Alvin wanted to ask, but she pretended not to know and stalled.  He was talking about those small boats. When Ivan couldn't bear it any longer, he smiled and said: "As for the eight large ships parked there, including the one that is following now. Only three of the nine ships are  The remaining six of ours are new ships commissioned by other territories. "Huh? Commissioned by other territories?" Ivan was stunned. He really hadn't thought about this kind of thing.  The place is still eligible to accept commissions from other territories, and it is still industrial products such as sea-going ships.  In Aiwen¡¯s impression, Lionheart is still in the stage of exporting raw materials.  "Yes!" I felt the shock in Ai Wen's heart.  Emma smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into two crescent moons, and she said with a triumphant expression: "Although the shipbuilding industry in Port Odelia has just started, who allowed us to master the construction technology of metal keels?  Our Lion Heart Territory is still located in the rear, with a natural peninsula outside the port as a defense, which is safe and reliable. Those territories in the front that have been beaten to pieces have no choice but to resign and entrust us with money. " "  Have you exposed the metal keel construction technology?" Ivan suddenly realized. No wonder those lords noticed the Lion Heart Leader. It turned out that this improved technology was leaked.  "Yes. But don't worry, brother, only the metal keel technology has been exposed. And the formula of the alloy used to build the metal keel has always been in your hands and has not been leaked, so even if those territories know this  Technology can only be asked of us," Emma said confidently.  "Haha!" Aiwen touched his nose and was speechless for a moment.  Although the technology in this era is backward, with the help of magic, it is not difficult to analyze the raw material composition of a metal. However, if you want to imitate it on a large scale, you must have a formula, especially the metal pole used on a keel.  Many, if there is no corresponding formula, it may cost more to build a keel than an entire ship.  But what Ivan didn't tell Emma was that he didn't actually have the formula for the alloy used to build the keel, because he directly selected various alloys with different properties from the small world, and then took them out to the master shipbuilder Nemos.  After testing one by one, they finally decided on the keel alloy currently used. In other words, Ivan directly used a natural alloy vein.  Before going to sea, in order to facilitate the Odelia Port to continue building sea ships after he left, Ivan stockpiled a large amount of related alloy ores in the dock of Odelia Port. He wanted to use the nine existing ships in the port.  The big ships were all built using the alloy ores he left behind.  "Is this a profit or a loss?" Ivan looked at the ships and was extremely confused. Although the metal minerals in the small world can be said to be unlimited, certain alloy ores are not.?Infinite, it's hard to say how much reserves such a specific alloy ore has in the small world. If it is mined for a while, it will be gone. Now if we resell these ships, wouldn't it be a big loss?  Ivan turned his head and glanced at Emma, ??who was still excitedly talking about his achievements during this period. His keen eyes made him notice that Emma's eyes were slightly blue, and he couldn't help but feel a little touched in his heart. He swallowed the words that came to his mouth.  Go down.  No matter what, Emma really wants to build Port Odelia, and she must have made great efforts to do so.  Although Emma talks lightly, it seems that it is a matter of course that this new technology developed by Lionheart is recognized by other lords and gets orders, but the truth is not that simple.  Not to mention that the demonic forces have never been very keen on building a navy. Even if some territories have long coastlines and have to build naval forces for defense, why do they have to borrow the power of the Lionheart Leader.  The Lionheart Territory is located at the rear. It is safe when building ships, but the long journey to the front line is not safe. Who knows that several of these new ships will sink under the attack of the human navy during transportation, and the metal  The keel technology sounds good, but it has not been tested in actual combat. Who knows how effective it will be.  Alvin believes it.  The process of taking over the orders for these six large ships must not be as easy as Emma said.     so.  Even if these businesses are actually losing money, so what, at worst, we will just spend some time selecting suitable alloys again!  "Thank you for your hard work, Emma!" Ivan said seriously.  "Ah, haha, of course, you have to reward me well. I am exhausted during this period, but what kind of expression do you have!" Emma was stunned and glanced at Alvin, feeling a little unnatural.  He laughed: "Why are you like seeing a martyr!" "I'm afraid you will die of exhaustion!" "Hey, do you still have a conscience?" Emma said immediately dissatisfied.  "Haha, I think you are too tired during this period!" Ivan said with a smile: "However, now that the Lion Heart has returned, the goods brought back with the ship are enough to sell for 300,000 gold coins. In the future, you don't have to pay for  You have wronged yourself by getting the city¡¯s development funds!¡± ¡°Only 300,000?¡± Emma was happy when she heard this, but she was deliberately dissatisfied.  "Well, for a viscounty to vigorously develop, three hundred thousand gold coins cannot sustain it for long, but there is nothing we can do about it. The cargo hold of the Lionheart is already full. If you go on a long voyage next time, you can  Organize more ships and form a fleet, and the cargo you can carry back will be several times the amount it is now!" Ivan explained.  If there is a fleet.  Then Aiwen does not need to follow it to sea again, because it already has enough strength to protect itself.  "This still needs an explanation. You really think I'm stupid!" Emma couldn't help but give Alvin a blank look.  While talking, the two ships docked in the empty space at the port one after another. The ship planks were lowered. A large number of crew members followed closely behind Alvin and Emma. They rushed to the port excitedly and began to shout and vent.  The resentment of a long journey.  Another group of crew members, under the command of Gross, began to move the goods in the cargo hold to the dock, and then stacked boxes one by one on the trucks that had been prepared. The airflow brought up a lot of dust, and the ground pulling the trucks was  The lizard sneezed continuously.  Although she verbally disdained this cargo worth 300,000 gold coins, Emma was actually quite nervous about this cargo. She pulled Alvin and did not leave. She just stood on the dock and looked at the crew.  Gradually move the cargo out of the Lionheart.  "By the way, when I came back this time, I also brought back a group of demon paddlers." Seeing some unfamiliar faces among the crew carrying the goods, Ivan slapped his head and suddenly remembered that Silo Lin had stuffed  A group of people were on his boat and he explained to Emma.  Theoretically, if a sea-going ship wants to go on a normal voyage, it must have at least two hundred oarsmen. In fact, the sea-going ship that Slolin and others boarded is indeed configured in this way, but before Slolin and others did  Used without mercy, three-quarters of these rowers were dead when they arrived on the north coast. In the end, only forty or fifty people were crammed into the Lion Heart and brought back.  With the devil¡¯s strong physique, not many people died from exhaustion, and they mainly died from various disasters at sea.  ¡°You brought back a group of demon rowers, from whom did you bring them back?¡± Emma asked curiously.  So Ivan briefly told the story about Silo Lin and others in a low voice. Although Emma had also stayed in the small world for a while, she didn't know much about Siris Nair's affairs, so she only had a vague understanding of it.  She didn't care about this matter, she just needed to know that Alvin didn't have a good impression of these paddlers.  "So, you are special??When you mention this matter, are you planning to deal with them?  "Emma pointed at Sika covertly, who had just gotten off the boat. Behind Sika, a group of demons were helping him carry various collected experimental materials. "I have this idea.  "Aiwen nodded and admitted: "But we haven't decided yet.  " "It's too wasteful to deal with that kind of pervert. These paddlers are considered professionals. Although they are not needed on large paddle boats, they are still very useful on those small boats. Why not just let them stay in Odelia?  Hong Kong!  Emma suggested. "Can you control them? I don't want to hear news of their escape in the future!"  "Ai Wen asked. "Don't worry about this!  "Emma patted her chest and promised. "I hope so!  "Aiwen nodded. "Miss Emma, ??why did I seem to hear someone scolding me just now?  "Sika walked over with a smile. "Then you must have heard wrong!  "Emma curled her lips and looked away. "I think so too!  "Sika nodded, then turned to look at Ivan. His eyes were a little complicated: "It's been half a year, Viscount Ivan.  This time I really have to say goodbye to you!  " "You don't have to leave so quickly, I have one more thing to trouble you with!  "Ai Wen quickly persuaded him to stay. "Do you need help with anything You mean, the plant monster that you captured alive?  Sika's eyes were surprised, but then he understood, shook his head and said: "Viscount Ivan, I know what help you want me to do, but it's a pity that I have been studying plant monsters for a while.  But their body structure has nothing in common with the species I'm familiar with, so I'm afraid I can't help you!  "    "is that so?  "Aiwen nodded regretfully. No wonder Sika never bothered him after getting the corpse of the plant monster. It turned out that he found that research in this area was of little value to him very early, and then gave up on it.  "That's right, but I still kept some of the remains.  If you need it, I can give it to you. Maybe you can get some inspiration from it.  "Sika said. "Thank you so much!  "Although Aiwen was a little disappointed, he still thanked him. "You're welcome!  "After Sika finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the group of demons carrying experimental materials, and took a few glances. He quickly took out a piece of experimental material wrapped in black cloth from a box, which was about the size of a six or seven-year-old child.  If nothing else, it¡¯s the remains of the plant monster. Emma pouted to the side, and a demon warrior immediately stepped forward and took the remains from Sika¡¯s hand. ¡°So, Alvin.  Viscount.  I'll take my leave now!  "Sika said. Ivan nodded and stopped holding on. After Sika left, Ivan and Emma continued to wait at the port for a while. All the cargo on the Lion Heart was finally emptied, and then  , at the request of Neimos, the master craftsman who came after hearing the news, the Lionheart refolded the ship's planks and sailed towards the dock built on the west side of the port. Within half a year, Neimos made further improvements to the ship's design.  Many improvements have been made. As the ship named after the territory, the Lionheart can no longer use those outdated designs. It must be rectified as soon as possible. After boarding the lord's special car, Alvin prepared to join the convoy carrying the goods.  Rushing to the Lion Heart Valley, after Emma made preliminary arrangements for the crew of the Lion Heart, she left all the work to Jonas, and then she just squeezed into Alvin's car, euphemistically calling it "Old".  Lia Gang was tired for half a year and wanted to take a few days off to go back to Lion Heart Valley to have a good time. Ivan couldn't help but naturally wouldn't refuse. Sitting in the carriage, Ivan looked at the scenery along the way.  At the beginning of the construction of the territory, Aiwen paid attention to pulling out a large number of miscellaneous trees and weeds growing in the territory, and retained other plants with economic value. Although it is far from the time to harvest the results, those crooked trees and weeds are gone.  There are no trees and weeds, but the scenery on both sides of the road is much better. Unfortunately, there is no word of tourism economy in this world. ¡°Brother Ai Wen, I have two pieces of news to tell you about Lion Heart Valley, one of which is good.  , a bad one, which one do you want to hear first?  "Emma didn't like Alvin ignoring her like this, so she forcibly turned his head away, stared into his eyes, and asked seriously. "No big or small!  "Ivan glared at Emma and slapped her hands away. "Tell me, do you think about that?  Emma chuckled and continued to ask. "Two pieces of news?"  "Aiwen is already very familiar with this kind of questioning method, but he doesn't care about playing with Emma anymore. He pretends to think for a while and then says: "Tell me the bad one first!  " "Do you still remember that?A Coven Field Heinrich?  " Emma asked. "Who is he?  "Ivan was stunned for a moment. "A very handsome and powerful young devil!  "Emma rolled her eyes and explained nonchalantly. "A very handsome and powerful young devil?  "Aiwen frowned and thought for a while, then sighed: "Okay, I understand, this is indeed unfortunate news - are you in love with him and eager to get married?  "    "certainly not!  "Emma immediately became angry. "Don't worry, I just returned from overseas, I can still get the money for the gift!  "Aiwen continued. "Hey, you really don't remember who he is, do you?  Emma questioned: "He is the Demon Castle envoy who went to Bone Prison City to recruit jihad volunteers!"  " "Ah, it turns out it's him!  "After hearing what Emma said, Alvin finally reacted. It's no wonder that he was so slow to react. Although it had only been about three years, in his memory, it seemed like it had been a lifetime ago. "This  Covin Field Heinrich, that's the name, right? Why did he come to me?  "Aiwen said doubtfully. "Of course it's for the jihad, but I don't know the details. He just wants to talk to you in detail!  "Emma shrugged. "It has something to do with the Holy War. Although the name Holy War sounds nice, it is still a war. Whenever a war is involved, it will inevitably cause severe injuries to the muscles and bones. As you said, this is not a good thing.  !  "Aiwen sighed. "So what about the good things you said?  "After sighing for a while, Alvin asked again. "Is that a good thing" Emma thought for a while, then suddenly pointed at Alvin's nose and said: "Let me tell you something, there is one of you and me in the territory.  An acquaintance, I accidentally developed a beer belly over the past six months!  It's so funny!  "    "¡­¡­"    "¡­¡­"    "that's all?  "Ai Wen said in confusion. "Yes, that's it!  "Emma nodded. "It's not funny at all!  For such unfortunate things, we should show a tolerant attitude!  "Aiwen shook his head, and then asked with interest: "Who is that acquaintance?  " Emma rolled her eyes at him and said loudly and forcefully: "That person's name is Ollie Xinyue!  ¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­ Thanks to Addict for your monthly pass.
