Chapter 316: You Have Stories, I Have Wine
"Slaves definitely need to be emancipated, there is no way to supply so many people, in the future, when you earn money, you can invest in a factory, and hire a group of rabbit-eared people to make medicines, that is, pharmaceutical companies, you can try to develop in this direction in the future." Alan tucked the weather doll into the pocket of his coat.
"We understand pharmaceuticals, but what is the company, Lord Allen, please forgive us for our ignorance, we really don't learn much." Rhodes was ashamed to say this.
Even if the outcast of the royal family is abandoned, he has been privately taught by a private teacher, and the minimum of ordinary knowledge is still there.
However, when he arrived in Tomorrow City, he found that he knew some elementary mathematics and a little understanding of the lingua franca of Lionheart, and he had never heard of or studied any other subjects.
Tomorrow's City is full of things he doesn't understand, such as reinforced concrete buildings, solid ground that doesn't melt, and wires that he knows today, and more and more unknown things.
His instinct was that if he didn't learn something new, he wouldn't be able to keep up with the growth of Tomorrow City.
"You can think of a company as a kind of organization, and most companies are for the purpose of making money...... "Allen explained a few words casually, and invited the two orcs to his house by the way.
The two orcs nodded hurriedly when they heard this, it was a great honor to be invited by the city lord of Allen, and it was worth not listening to the class today.
Windsor walked halfway to return to his house, and Alan invited her by the way, "You can also come and listen, this is about the ruins." ”
Rhodes and his wife had scarce relics in their hands, and after inquiry, they also learned that they had gone to sea to explore the ruins, which was a very important piece of information, even more important than the interrogation of General Veblen.
The old general Veblen had never been to the ruins, everything had been heard from other people's mouths.
When it comes to the knowledge of ancient ruins, who is more profound than two people who have experienced it firsthand, there is definitely not.
Back at the villa, the six maids brought out a sumptuous meal, stir-fried chicken thighs with pepper, fish-flavored eggplant, pork ribs and stewed melon, etc., the Chinese cuisine was dazzling, and the whole body was quickly conquered by the taste buds.
The brown-haired Rhodes put a piece of chicken thigh meat in his mouth, and an unknown foreign pepper flavor and meat flavor were mixed together, and the tongue was numb and spicy, and the umami and strength exploded in the tongue cavity.
The white-haired cat-eared orc Heinz took a bite of rib meat, the meat melted in his mouth, and the bones were still in his mouth, and he was about to spit out the bones, but was stopped by Allen.
"The bones of the ribs are also very nutritious, try a few sips." Alan said, and he himself tried it out, putting the ribs in his mouth and sucking it up, making a sizzling sound.
Heinz studied in style, inhaling the bone marrow, and the invincible delicacy hit his tongue like a hammer, and his whole body seemed to float.
Windsor had never tried this kind of Chinese food, and after taking a sip of bone marrow, the best taste washed the entire tongue cavity like a flood, and her throat couldn't help but make an "ah" sound.
Hearing this voice, only Alan turned his head to look at her, and the other two men were addicted to the world of food and couldn't extricate themselves, and their cries were longer and higher than hers, and the decibels were higher.
Windsor's face turned red, so ashamed, he actually made that kind of sound, he must be careful next time he eats things from Allen's house.
The cat-eared maid behind her pinched the corner of the maid's skirt and held back a smile.
When they ate these meals made by Allen, they reacted in the same way as Windsor, and now the maids are schadenfreude when they see the deputy city lord making trouble.
Of course, this meal was all made by the maids, and Alan was only responsible for teaching it once with the full-level teaching ability, and the maids were already proficient, and the flavor of the food was better and better every time.
The food eaten in Windsor now is at least six or seventy percent of Allen's cooking skills.
After the meal, the four of them sat at the tables and chairs in the back garden, surrounded by tender grass and flowers, and a breeze.
They really wanted to rest with their backs against their chairs in the posture of salted fish, but the city lord Allen was here, and Rhodes and Rhodes had to straighten their backs in order to maintain politeness.
Windsor also wanted to lie down, but as a deputy city lord, she couldn't lose her majesty, pretending to be a lady, drinking tea quietly, and listening to Allen.
Alan casually leaned back in his chair and glanced at the sky, which was cloudless today and all the stars twinkled overhead.
"I heard that you have been to sea, I have wine here, you have a story, tell me to hear it." Alan clapped his palms, and the maid understood, and turned to the cellar to get the wine.
Rhodes and the others wanted to shirk it, but they couldn't resist Allen's kindness, and after taking a sip of rum liquor, the wine became drunk, and the story slowly unfolded.
"On that day, Heinz and I were forced to stuff an adventurer's sailboat.
Adventurer heard from an old fisherman that there was fog on the Sea of Death, and it was possible that Kirishima was born, and many adventurers sailed to the Sea of Death, and we were unlucky enough to follow the captain out to sea for adventure. ”
"How many ships are there?" Alan asked.
"There were a lot of people going, all kinds of forces, including pirates, probably fifty or sixty. Some of them were large sailing ships that could hold up to ninety sailors, but the larger the ship, the first to be targeted by sea monsters. ”
Rodston paused, a frightened expression on his face, it was clear that the sea monster had left him with a very bad memory.
"The body of that sea monster is very large, when it surfaced, his head was the size of half a ship's hull, the huge tentacles that stretched out were thicker than a mast, and the whole body was black and shiny, and each tentacle had white round eyes, which was disgusting and evil."
Rhodes recalled the round eyes of the sea monster's tentacles and felt his hair tingle.
At this point, his throat was dry, he took a sip of white wine, the smell of wine came up again, and the courage returned, and he continued to tell what he had seen and heard that day.
"In the beginning, there was only one sea monster, and the deeper the fleet, the more sea monsters there were, and twenty ships were climbed onto the ship by sea monsters."
"There were many adventurers who were scared and sent their ships back to port, but I inquired later, and those people did not return to port alive."
"Let's talk about that fog, to be honest, it's the first time I've seen that big fog, the whole sea is white, and the visibility is very low, after our ship goes in, we can only see about ten meters away, and we can't see anything else."
"Another thing is that the boat is very quiet when it enters the fog, so quiet that there is only the sound of breaking waves."
Alan nodded without leaving a trace, deeply aware of the tension and mystery of the ship's entry into the foggy region.
Heinz, who was beside him, also spoke at this time, "After a long time, we saw a hazy island, and there was no white fog around it, and the fog seemed to be unable to get close to the island. ”
"Then we landed, there was no danger, no sea monsters attacked us, as if the sea monsters were not haunting the foggy area."
At this time, Windsor was curious: "What about the other fleets?" ”
"We waited on the shore for half a day and an hour, and ten fleets arrived one after another, but the time experienced by everyone was different, some fleets said that they sailed for three days to reach Kirishima, and some fleets took a month to arrive at Kirishima, during which they have been living in the fog, there is no direction, everything is unknown, and the crew almost had a nervous breakdown."
"The time is different?" Windsor was also shocked, she didn't expect the ancient ruins to be so difficult to enter.
"Yes, each fleet experienced a different amount of time, most of them took three days to a month, and the lucky fleet lasted a few hours, for example, the boat that Rhodes and I were on was very lucky, and it took about nine hours to swim."
"And those ships that have gone through a month, has there been a change in food stocks?"
"Their food is really consumed." When Heinz said this, he was really scared for a while, and he had a strong sense of awe for Kirishima.
It is precisely because of this awe-inspiring mentality that the two of them are very cowardly in the future survival, and they instigated him to survive.
