Costor squatted on the beach, drew a picture on the sand with his fingers, sketched the coastline of the east coast, and then circled one end of the coastline: "My lord, the best place to build a harbor is here." ”

Liszt understood the rudimentary map.

The location of the harbor, strictly speaking, is no longer within the confines of the town of flowers. The Dairy Farm is the northernmost part of Flower Town, and further north is the part of Thorn Ridge that extends to the sea.

And the location that Costor said is where Thorn Ridge meets the sea.

"Thorn Ridge are low hills with flat roads in between, and I've run the whole East Coast over the course of my time. I found that Thorn Ridge began to fork from this position, forming a flat valley, and the sea is a deep-water harbor, which I have personally dived and explored. The terrain, the roads, are all suitable for the construction of the dock. ”

"You dare to go deep into Thorn Ridge?" said Liszt, a little surprised.

Costo's tone was a little fanatical: "I have always wanted to let the sailboat sail out to sea again, but there is no harbor and dock in Flower Town, so I am not reconciled, so I will explore further afield...... I was lucky enough not to encounter Warcraft, just some Beasts, but I did pick up some smoked grass. ”

said.

He suddenly knelt down again: "I'm sorry, my lord, I went to the smoky grass plow to pick up the leaves that fell on the ground, please punish me." ”

The smoked grass is Liszt's, even if the leaves fall off naturally, it is owned by Liszt, and anyone who picks it up is considered a theft, let alone a serf.

"Stand up first, and we'll talk about it later. ”

Liszt motioned for him to stand up and speak for the second time: "You are quite bold, not only dare to enter the Thorn Ridge, but also dare to go to the sea alone, it seems that neither the monster nor the sea monster can stop your heart from yearning for the sea." ”

"I love the sea!"

Costor took a deep breath and looked at the waves.

"I grew up by the sea, I went out on a boat as a teenager, and I spent more time on the sea than on land. I've seen the narwhal's horns cut through the sea, and the teeth that come out of the mouth, I've seen the apparitions of the sea, a rich city, but I can't chase them, and I've heard the beautiful singing of the fog, which is the siren's singing......"

After a pause, he swallowed and spat, and said solemnly: "I like to run ships, I like to walk on the sea, my lord, Costo hopes to take the helm of your sailboat and go to sea to trade. ”

Short conversation.

Liszt could tell that Costor was the kind of person who had the knowledge, the brain, the ability to act and the spirit of adventure, and if he had been placed in the Age of Discovery, such a person might have been mixed with an adventurer like "Columbus". People with dreams are clearly worthy of awe.

In the flower town succumbed to the talent.

"Costo, I officially appoint you captain of the Flowers. He looked at him condescendingly, "You can recruit your own apprentices and train them in seafaring skills on the East Coast." ”

"Flowers?"

"It's this sailboat, I'll name it the Flowers, it's the first ship in Flower Town!"

Costo was overjoyed: "My lord, when will the harbor be built, and when do you plan to go to sea to trade?

"You are not allowed to enter the Thorn Forest until I have cut down all the trees on Thorn Ridge, and you don't need to worry about the harbor, and when the time comes, I will naturally build the dock. The captaincy position is not paid for the time being, and you have to be self-reliant, for example, to collect tuition fees...... Of course, you can choose to apply for a teacher to teach my knight squad about sailing. ”

Marcus taught vindictiveness, Isaiah taught writing, and Costor taught navigation, and the education of the knight squad, Liszt attached great importance to it.

Even if there are few successful people in this group in the future, they can become qualified instructors and train the next batch of knights for Liszt.

The result couldn't have been better, Costow got down on his knees and bowed: "My lord, I'm willing to apply for a teacher!"

"Now, Captain, introduce me to the Flowers. ”

The Flowers was a two-masted schooner, significantly smaller than a three-masted schooner. Barely able to run ocean-going trade, in the tulip fleet, there are many brigs. The most suitable is to sail inside the archipelago, which will not encounter too many ocean storms, and the safety will be greatly improved.

There was no artillery.

Encountering a sea monster is basically a matter of escaping, but there are many stories of sea monsters attacking ships, but in fact, very few sea monsters will attack ships.

The fishermen who were admiring the Flower Horn here, and the fishermen who were dissecting the carcasses of large squids over there, suddenly shouted.

The news soon reached Liszt, and it turned out that the fishermen had dug up a large shell monster from the squid's belly. "Wavy shell" and "bigger than a man" are the description of the shell monster by the messenger.

Liszt immediately stepped off the Flowers.

He understood that this shell monster must have the black pearl of the deep sea in its body.

When he saw this shell monster with his own eyes, he suddenly realized: "This is a clams!"

The huge shell, the wavy shape, and the brightly colored mantle on the shell all indicate its identity - a clams. In Liszt's hometown, the clams are the largest shellfish in the world, the shell can be processed into jewelry, it is very valuable, and the meat is particularly delicious.

On the table in his former home was a vase made of clams and shells.

Of course, it was a small clam.

The huge clams in front of him are at least two meters in diameter and are estimated to weigh more than five hundred catties. The shell is tightly closed, I don't know if it is dead, and the gorgeous mantle membrane is probably digested by the squid, and there are some traces of mottled shedding.

"What kind of shell monster is this, sir, do you know?" said Galtai as he circled around the clams.

"Tridacnis, a large shellfish. As he spoke, he cast his magic eye and looked at the clam carefully, but he didn't see any trace of magic power, probably just an ordinary clam, not a sea monster, "You open it, and I'll see if there are any pearls in the shell." ”

"Can clams also produce pearls, I always thought that only pearl oysters in the tranquil lake could produce pearls. ”

Lake Serenity is a huge lake on Blue Dragon Island, which belongs to the Sapphire family, and one of the specialties is to raise pearl oysters in Lake Serenity. It was a small sea monster, or water monster, that lived only in freshwater and could produce pearls. Pearls have a hint of magic and are gentle and watery, calming the mind.

It is a favorite ornament of the aristocracy.

Many celebrities wear a pearl necklace around their necks.

Liszt pointed to the clams: "Open it and see if there is one." ”

Galtai hurriedly organized people to pry open the crust of the clams, but a group of people could not pry open the hard crust of the clams after prying for a long time.

"Oh my God, haven't you all had enough to eat!" Galtai glared dryly from the side, "a shell that will make you reveal the essence of kidney deficiency?"

"Mr. Galtai, this thing is so strong that the stick is broken. ”

"I can assure you that it is like a stone, complete, and it is impossible to open at all. ”

"Maybe we should make a fire for it, and when I eat oysters, I will roast them and eat them, and it will open its shell on its own. ”
