In the evening, arrive at the Port of Flowers.

After making sure that Acker had returned to the seaside, Liszt went straight back to the castle and began to draw how many gold coins he had. As a result, if he did not sell his fixed assets, he would probably only be able to scrape together a hundred gold coins - the flower brewing market has not yet been fully opened, and it is difficult to raise many gold coins in a short period of time.

"This amount of money is not enough to buy a medium-sized sea vessel, at least five hundred gold coins must be prepared. ”

The original sapphire lord Andrew Sapphire, before the creation of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, the human beings living on the continent had not yet entered the age of sailing.

Most of the ships are powered by oars, pennies, and oars, and they sail in inland lakes and rivers, and they rarely appear even in the coastal waters.

I don't know what era the sail was invented, but if it is estimated that if it is traced, it will be traced back to the Moon Empire - all the cultural sources of this world can be related to the Moon Empire.

But sailing was definitely carried forward by the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, as it was the first country built on an island.

There was a shortage of serfs, food, and minerals on the island.

Everything is to be snatched from the mainland.

Oarboats, small inland boats, could not withstand the wind and waves, and sailing became the main force of navigation, and under the impetus of war, they developed rapidly among the islands within the territory of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire.

Basically, oared boats have been eliminated here.

Only sailboats are being built and sold.

There are currently three classes of sailboats – small sailing one-masted galleons, medium-sized sailing brigs, and large sailing three-masted galleons.

Sails are all sails, of course, in the era when the sail was not invented, they were all called sails, and only Liszt would distinguish them by sails.

The sail of a schooner, or more accurately called a square sail, is somewhat similar to the kind of sailing ships used by the Vikings, with a large square sail on it.

The sails of a brig are made up of a small sail on one side, and the same is true for the sails of a three-masted sailing.

There are three types of sailing ships of these three classes: cargo ships, ordinary boats, and fast boats. Cargo ships are very spacious and have huge holds, but they travel very slowly; fast ships are narrow and have small holds, but they travel very fast; ordinary ships are a combination of the two, neither big nor small, neither fast nor slow.

The Flowers is a two-masted galleon.

Distinguish according to the cost of public boats.

A masted galleon costs between 50 and 200 gold coins, a cargo schooner costs between 100 and 300 gold coins, and a masted galleon costs between 200 and 400 gold coins.

The average brig costs between 500 and 1,000 pieces, the Flower is worth at least 500 gold coins, the brig cargo ship is between 800 and 1,200 gold coins, and the brig is between 1,000 and 1,500 gold coins.

A three-masted galleon costs between 2,000 and 3,000 coins, a three-masted cargo ship costs between 2,500 and 4,000 gold, and a three-masted galleon costs between 5,000 and 6,000 gold.

Currently, only the Sapphire family can make three-masted fast sailing ships, and they are not sold to the public, and are used as warships. Only a small amount of gifts - after the Marquis Merlin Long Taro retired, he was presented with three three-masted galleons by the Grand Duke of Sapphire in recognition of his contribution to the Grand Duchy.

"The task requires a medium-sized sailing ship, and the cheapest is five hundred gold coins, and it is necessary to either sell iron or borrow money. Liszt touched his chin and felt that he had nothing to sell.

And it's just a temporary scarcity of funds.

Flower brewing can still earn back a few hundred gold coins a month, so simply use the income from flower brewing to advance the income from Tulip Castle for the next few weeks.

Come to think of it.

He immediately wrote to Levi's, and asked Galtai to take the letter to the Tulip Castle: "Advisor Galtai, I hope you can follow the caravan and choose a suitable brig ordinary sailing ship, the price is not too high, we will only sail between Black Horse Island and Flower Town." ”

"My lord, are you going to ask the dockyard to build a new ship, or do you want to buy a medium-sized sailing ship outright?" asked Galtai, taking the letter.

"Of course it'......," Liszt wanted to say, of course, to buy a new ship.

But it suddenly occurred to him that the smoke mission only asked him to buy another medium-sized sea vessel, and did not ask for a newly built sea vessel, nor did it ask whether it was a cargo ship or an ordinary ship.

In that case, why not buy an old ship?

The Flowers is an old ship, or an old ship that has been repaired, but it runs quite smoothly at sea, and there is nothing wrong with it. In particular, the cracks in the planks have recently been watered with rubber water, making the Flower more sturdy and stable, and if there is no sign of water leakage, it will be able to sail for at least ten years.

If you buy an old boat, patch it up and smear some rubber water, it can be used as a new boat.

So he temporarily changed his attention: "Then buy an old ship, and the price is controlled within five hundred gold coins." ”

Galtai smiled: "My lord, it is very coincidental that I recently heard the news that the caravan of Tulip Fort is preparing to replace a new batch of ships, and it is still related to the special flower brew of Flower Town. Mr. Frank told me that Sir Levi was going to form a special fleet of wine carriers, and that he was going to buy fast sailing ships and replace a few cargo ships. ”

Baijiu is very valuable, and the use of fast sailing ships can reduce sailing time and reduce transportation risks.

"Yes, since that's the case, let's choose a relatively better one from this batch of cargo ships and buy it. ”

"As you wish, my lord. ”

......

Galtai went to buy a ship.

It will take about a few days, and in these days, the castle is ready to tear down the shell wooden buildings and rebuild them to their original shape. As for Liszt, he rarely stayed in the castle, because the news of the killing of the six-headed king sea serpent had spread, and the nobles of North Valley City came to pay their respects.

He was impatient to receive these nobles, and had no common language to speak except to eat and drink.

So he asked all the reception tasks to be handed over to Zambrotta - the town of flowers has good diplomatic skills, except for Galtai, only Zambrotta is left.

As a nobleman who had been deprived of his knighthood, he was not good at pragmatic work, and he was very skilled in retreat work.

He also has an important task, which is to refuse all requests to buy materials for the intermediate sea monster, and all the materials for the six-headed king sea snake are not for sale.

Liszt, who is not bothered by the case, is building a seaside villa with a golden house and a beautiful house.

After the low tide, a large pit of 500 square meters is dug on the beach, filled with a large amount of rocks and sea sand, and then mixed with rubber water for stirring.

Sun exposure.

The solidification speed is very fast, and in a few hours, a platform similar to a cement platform is built.

The sand is soft and the foundation is not deep, but the platform is large enough and firm enough that it is still very calm and unaffected by the erosion of the sea after high tide.

On the platform, continue to build a stone house.

At high tide, the water flooded the house, allowing him to enter and exit freely, while the upper floors of the house continued to be built with a wooden hut for Liszt to live in, and to use the steps to read books and study magic.

Take drugs, practice fighting spirit, and listen to the Kraken sing.

Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming.
