Section 30 Before Departure

Old Girohard is indeed a very bold and successful businessman. Once a decision is made, it is immediately executed, and Mombasa is basically a primitive free port, with no tiresome government officials to direct it, let alone a tax department such as customs to check it.

So after Lao Luo accepted the arrangement, Lao Ji Luo Had set a series of plans for Cui Zhouguang in front of Lao Luo to go to sea to the north, the route, the expected port of call, and the time of docking and resting, of course, this arrangement is to prepare the cargo, correct the ship, adjust the sailors and prepare supplies and other things for all the owners of the participating fleet. Lao Luo, who was watching from the side, saw the other side of this white-bearded old businessman, like an elite soldier's decisiveness, with the old Girohad Semitic people's unique hooked nose and inverted eyes, it seemed that the whole person had a profound charm, Lao Luo sighed in his heart, this is the demeanor of a leader of a nation in this era. In contrast, although the Grand Elder of Marseille Lanusela and the leader of the Tang Dynasty remnants, Cui Zhouzu, are also wise men, they are obviously worse. What's missing? Lao Luo couldn't say it clearly for a while.

In the next two days, when Lao Luo was waiting at the hotel to receive all kinds of things that had been ordered, Old Girohard himself came to the door and sent his youngest son, Camille, over.

"Mr. Bartol, from today Camille is under your control." Girohard's voice remained resolute, "Until the days before arriving in Cairo, you were his direct commander. ”

"Well, Mr. Girohad, I will keep my promise." There's no way to refuse, this is what I promised. Lao Luo helplessly looked at Camille, who was wearing a scimitar on the hood of his robe, and was a little speechless, don't look at this kid's tame appearance now, he is actually a restless bastard.

Sure enough, as soon as Girohard left, Camille and Eighteen Lang, who was training, began to argue. Next to him, Naga and Mnaki looked lively with a thief's smile on their faces.

"Hey, why are you here, kid?" Of course, Camille knows Cui 18, and Mombasa Island is not big.

"Why can't I be here? This is my third uncle's place. Eighteen Lang, who was deliberately mischievous, smiled shyly, "Camille, I heard that you forced my third uncle to invite your big robe and clothes to drink soup?" ”

"Shut up, bastard. My name is Camille, not Camille! You hammer-playing ash boy! Camille pretended to be an honest man for a long time, and he was already impatient, if it wasn't for his father forcing him, he wouldn't want to appear in front of the people who bullied him. However, he knew that Lao Luo was a person that his father was optimistic about, and he couldn't afford to mess with him, but he had known this kid for a long time, so he didn't care so much.

"Camille, you're a big robe that pretends to be all day, aren't you?"

"Ash boy, if you don't go to strike iron, come to make trouble for me, it's just begging for a beating."

"Naga, Mnaki, get the two of them armed." Lao Luo sent Girohard away and turned back to the backyard, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the two arguing, "You two, quarrel like women, come and show me your ability to fight." ”

The two people who were disarmed were honest. "Third uncle, do you really want to fight?" The bruise on Eighteen Lang's face was just a little better, it turned out that he was beaten by Mnachi, who made him always owe.

"Teacher, I don't dare, I admit my mistake." Camille began to pack the baby again.

"No, how can a man talk without words," Lao Luo said with a solemn face, "I said that I would fight, and if I didn't dare to fight, I would go out for a run, and I would shout that I was a woman." ”

"Huh?" This punishment is too damaging, if you really want to do that, don't live, blame the kid on the other side. The two of them invariably sprinkled their anger on each other, and then ......

Lao Luo smiled and watched the two people tossing and turning in the empty field, you punched me and kicked me very lively. Naga and Mnachi were silent, thinking in their hearts, the boss is getting more and more powerful, and they don't need to make a move, these two boys will mess up on their own, and this skill needs to be learned.

It was estimated that after that hour, Lao Luo asked the two of them to stop. In fact, the two of them didn't stop and didn't have the energy to continue fighting, after all, there was still a sense of proportion in fighting with all their might, and the reason for the fight was inexplicable. The two people with blue noses and swollen faces stood in front of Lao Luo and listened to Lao Luo's words without saying a word.

"Camille, your father asked me to be your temporary teacher, and today is the first lesson, that is, men don't rely on their mouths to defeat others." Lao Luo just spoke flatly, "You are very smart, but you are not the only one who is smart in this world. ”

What Lao Luo brought to Camille was more pressure, different from the pressure of his blood when he faced his father, but a pressure as majestic as a mountain, so Camille couldn't say anything.

Then Lao Luo turned to Eighteen Lang, "Eighteen, I'm going to leave after a while, the third uncle will teach you a good job, you kid is very good at talking, but people who talk a lot often end up being gagged." Want to know why? Think for yourself. ”

"Yes, Third Uncle." Eighteen gave a respectful salute, and then grinned in pain.

In the following days, receiving goods, inspecting goods, and preparing, Lao Luo began to be busy in an orderly manner. From having no clue at the beginning, to slowly adapting to the trivial things at hand, he is still a little talented. Cui Zhoushi came, bringing the steel cross pickaxe and the steel shovel for digging that Lao Luo ordered to him, each of which had more than Lao Luo's ration.

"Uncle Shi, why are there so many more people?"

"San Lang, Uncle Shi has something to ask you for, it's really hard to speak."

"Uncle Shi, where is this, you are old, but you have something to say, San Lang has nothing to say."

"Alas, I'll just say it," Cui Zhoushi gritted his teeth, "Eighteen this kid is my favorite grandson, I really don't want him to be confined to this place far away from his homeland in the future, and he also likes to follow you...... Take him back to his homeland. ”

"This, how does this work?" Lao Luo likes this kid Shibalang, but he never thought of separating his family from his relatives, "I like this kid, but your relatives are together...... It is unvirtuous to separate flesh and bone from one's flesh."

"Eighteen is a concubine, and according to the rules of the Cui family, he cannot inherit his parents' property. Nowadays, each family calculates independently, and only pays 20% to the public middle school every year, and I can't help it. Cui Zhoushi's words made Lao Luo speechless, "In a year and a half, the eighteenth will be crowned, and he will also face the ...... of independence."

In the internal affairs of the Cui family, Lao Luo was too lazy to interfere, and he couldn't interfere. I had to ask, "That...... Uncle Shi, eighteen is far away from you, are you willing to do it? ”

"What if you don't give up?" Cui Zhoushi gritted his teeth again, "I'm getting older, and I can't take care of him for long." Besides, a good man has ambitions in all directions, and he will achieve something by following you...... It's just that you have to work hard, Saburo, you have to work hard. ”

"Where are Uncle Nan and Uncle Guang?"

"It's okay, the eldest brother is the patriarch, so I don't care about this little thing at all. The fifth is in favor of eighteen following you. ”

"Well, I promise you, Eighteen will leave with me, and he will come back in ten years at the latest." Lao Luo stared at Cui Zhoushi and said word by word, "Uncle Shi, you have to live seriously, and you will definitely see him come back." ”

Cui Zhoushi was speechless, and the eighteenth lang behind him was even more around Lao Cui's waist and cried silently.

In order to prevent accidents at sea, Lao Luo deliberately quickly ordered four boats similar to the later park cruise ships, plus some thick wood and thick canvas, if necessary, the boats can be connected together into a platform to use, and then a wood mast is erected, and the canvas is a simple multi-hull sailboat, although there is no rudder, but the direction of the sail can be adjusted to move forward. If you take it apart, Lao Luo can move it, and it will be included in the ring space.

When the custom-made ship was received, the rest of the custom-made items had been collected, there was no mistake, Lao Luo and the two Maasai warriors all changed their clothes, including weapons, Lao Luo's long knife was too eye-catching, so it didn't have to be taken out often, and as soon as the black rhinoceros leather armor came out, all the onlookers were stunned. The heavy armor, with the rivets and the patterns carefully imprinted on it by the cobbler, looks imposing, and the defense is by no means weaker than ordinary metal armor, but it is not as bulky and affects the flexibility of the joints as metal armor. Although Lao Luo did not have a helmet (he really disliked the bulkiness of the current helmet and affected his vision and hearing), Lao Luo still felt that he was one size bigger after wearing it, and Lao Luo was tall and stout enough, and now he looked as powerful as a demon god. Cui Zhoushi has a sentence that everyone agrees with, "San Lang wears this armor, and if he wears a two-horned helmet, he is the incarnation of the god of war!" ”

The newly made iron-tired hard bow has a tensile force of about 200 kilograms, the height of the bow body is 1.4 meters, and the bowstring is made of a mixture of rhinoceros tendons and crocodile tendons, so that Lao Luo can shoot 350 meters without opening a full bow, and a full bow of 500 meters can shoot through a stump with a diameter of 15 centimeters. At this time, Lao Luo didn't know how much strength he had, Cui Zhoushi's evaluation was that the bow had the power of nearly five stones, but it was a pity that the bow was not made of Xuantie, otherwise it would be better.

Naga and Mnaki also have rhinoceros skin armor, but they are not as complete as Lao Luo's, only rhinoceros leather for defense in key parts such as the upper body and front knees, shoulders, etc., and the others are interspersed with crocodile or wildebeest skins and metal sockets, after all, their strength and physical strength cannot withstand too heavy loads. Naga's double-edged long-handled battle axe was particularly powerful, the close-handed stabbing hammer was equally terrifying, and Mnachi's hook spear was a little strange and ferocious. The two of them were assembled, although they did not have Lao Luo's domineering style, they looked weird and fierce because of their black skin, white eyes and teeth.

The eighteenth equipment was assembled by Cui Zhoushi, and I thought it was also very good, but it turned out to be inconspicuous in comparison. The only weapon is a steel-handled pointed quadrangular hammer made according to Lao Luo's suggestion (similar to the feeling of four pointed hammers welded together), which is light and flexible, suitable for the eighteenth to take the light and agile route. Eighteen is not satisfied, so I have to wait for the opportunity to change clothes in the future.

Camille's weapon armor is provided by Girohard, a typical Arab warrior equipment, but the quality is much more refined, Lao Luo is not satisfied with the weapon is inlaid with many jewels, but unfortunately this Camille is only a "commissioned recruit", he can't say anything. It took at least three to four months to get to Cairo, and he was always asked to understand what a fighting man needed.

By the time Gironhard had been announced, Lao Luo's space was already half full—you know, it was a cubic space of 160 meters, which was about the load of a medium-sized freighter in later generations. All useless gold and silver utensils were all disposed of, except for the items left by the original Jingyuan Dao people, only seeds, food, clothing and armor, weapons and tools, and medicines remained...... Wait, oh, and some gold and silver coins and big gems.
