Chapter 268: Snake Dance Island
Alan waved his hand and asked Sva to retreat with these warriors, sat down in the nearest chair, rubbed his head, and asked Barton on the side, "Captain Fran and his fleet, have you arrived at Heran Harbor now?"
Since Allen came to Herlan Island by boat, the docking of ships has become a problem, after all, the two places of Herlan Island and Musen Ling, the ships are still relatively complicated, if there is no port due to docking, then every time loading and unloading, transporting supplies is a trouble.
For this reason, some time ago, Alan deliberately pulled the Blue Desolation Knights to an area in the east of Giant Rat City and built a simple port, which was named Heilan Harbor.
"Lord Viscount, Captain Franc has now arrived at Heran Harbor with his fleet, but with the supplies to be carried and a large number of sailors to be placed, Captain Franc says it will take some time, and may not be able to meet you until the afternoon!" said Barton.
"I heard that the old guy had another grandson, and he took a leave of absence?" said Allen, who didn't mind.
"That's right, my lord, Captain Franc also specially invited me to teach his grandson in the future!" Bard laughed out loud and said with some pride.
"Bud, haven't I already asked you to refuse?" Barton said after hearing this, and said to his third brother Bard with a somewhat unsightly face.
"Uhhh......h I...... I'm too embarrassed to refuse!, and what's wrong with being a knight to teach Captain Fran's grandson?, I don't think it's a big deal!" Bard replied with a flushed face.
"But, you...... You must know that you are the Viscount's attendant, how can you agree to such a request without the Viscount's approval!" Barton frowned and reprimanded Bard.
Bard was a little unconvinced at first, but then he thought that this was indeed the case! he hastily agreed to Captain Franc without the consent of the Viscount, and the Viscount would definitely be angry!
After a while, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Alan and Barton again.
"Okay, Barton, I won't blame you, but next time I make a decision, I'll have to ask your eldest brother and me for advice!" Alan said helplessly.
Hearing Allen's words, Bard seemed to have found a savior, and he raised his head in a sense, and said excitedly and a little embarrassed: "Thank you, Lord Viscount! Bard will definitely not agree to other people's requests at will in the future!"
Compared with the shrewd Barry and the delicate Barton on the outside, Bard has a much more honest personality, has no scheming, and treats things more simply, so it is not surprising that he can do this kind of thing Allen.
And Captain Fran's behavior is not considered to be out of bounds, it is not too excessive, and there are no bad intentions.
He can also guess a little bit of what Alan thinks, Budbarton has been following Allen's role, and he can be regarded as a celebrity next to Allen.
And Fran is just a captain of a fleet, helping Alan steer the ship, and he hopes that his grandson can get in touch with Bud, don't look at Bard is actually just Allen's personal attendant, but in the eyes of the officials in the territory, he is an out-and-out big man.
In fact, if Allen is not in a hurry to establish a navy in the future, then Captain Fran may always be a marginal figure under Allen, and there is no possibility of controlling power.
And Captain Fran is already old, relying on the captain's position, although his family life is quite rich, but once he dies, his family will definitely fall to the bottom, which is why he wants to climb Bard.
At present, there are two leaders in the fleet led by Mu Sen, and they are both old guys, one is Captain Fran and the other is Captain Jill.
Under Allen's orders, the two men now managed nine wooden ships each, and were divided into the first fleet and the second fleet, with Fran managing the second fleet.
Alan summoned Fran this time because he needed to do something important to him.
Moreover, he only recruited Fran and the second fleet, and as for Gil and the first fleet, they were still responsible for transporting supplies between the two places.
............
Slowly picked up the water cup in his hand, the three fire maple leaves that had stretched out in the water covered the water surface tightly, and there was no tea in it at all, only wisps of fire elements continued to float out from the top of the silver cup.
Alan tried to reach the rim of the cup, but then gave up and handed out the cup.
He felt that he must have made a mistake in the way of drinking fire maple tea, this fire maple tea looked only the size of a peanut after being fried, but don't forget that when it was originally fresh, it was bigger than a human palm, so it was strange to put it in this small cup and brew it, so it was strange not to block the cup.
Just then, Barton walked in from outside.
"Viscount, Captain Fran has arrived!"
"Well, let him in!"
"I've seen Lord Viscount!" Fran walked in steadily, saluting respectfully to Alan.
"Sit down! I've been called here for something for you to do!" Alan said with a slight bow.
"I don't know what it is, Fran will do it for the Viscount!" said Fran immediately and solemnly.
"Don't worry, let's look at the picture first!
When Bard heard this, he first glanced at Fran in displeasure, then took out a chart from the side and spread it flat on the table.
Fran, on the other hand, was confused, wondering why Bard looked at him with disgruntled eyes, could it be that he had offended Bard in something, but he immediately reacted that the viscount was waiting for him, and did not dare to slack off, so he suppressed his doubts in his heart and rushed to the table.
"Lord Viscount! This is a chart!" He used to sail abroad all the year round, and although he was only a sailor before, after all, he had been in the industry for a long time, and he could still understand this kind of chart.
"That's right, this is a nautical chart, and it's a nautical chart with the surrounding area of Helan Island! This is Helan Island, and there are some islands near this Helan Island, such as these! Not to mention whether there are intelligent races on these islands, but there are definitely a lot of mineral resources and precious trees, and they are still in an undeveloped state!" Alan pointed at the chart, and explained to Captain Fran with some excitement.
"You know what I'm looking for you for, right?" said Alan slowly, exhaling lightly.
"Lord Viscount, you want me to explore these islands!" said Captain Fran, whimsily.
"Well, it's not all right, but it's pretty much the same!" said Allen, with some satisfaction.
"This chart is obtained from the Giant Rat City, in the next period of time, you will set off from Heilan Island and go southeast to find the Snake Dance Island on the chart, I don't ask you to go to the island to venture and explore, your task is to determine the existence of this island, familiarize yourself with the route between the islands, and prepare for the next large-scale exploration!"
