Chapter 172: Transporting the Imperial Capital
It seems that this matter must be helped, otherwise, the marquis will be jealous and go directly to the court, the earl and Ferdinand may have a backstage, and he is only gray and gray.
Said vigorously: "In this way, I will go back and arrange it immediately, Count Roberson and Lord Ferdinand are, that, declare the matter, they will definitely agree." ”
Sencini smiled and nodded: "I'm sure the Baron will be able to do it, I'll send the hired people to pick apples and pile them on the river dock and wait for the Baron's fleet to receive them." ”
It seems that this guy is very confident in the marquis's energy, and vigorously wiped his sweat: "Okay, okay." ”
Although Hongfeng Town is not a coastal town, there is a small inland river that flows through the town until the town of Green Spring enters the sea, and this waterway is the most important freight passage of Hongfeng Town. Ever since piracy became rampant, this vital passage has been deserted by skyrocketing freight rates. In fact, piracy itself is not that destructive, and a mere concern about the future of security is enough to get the market out of control.
Vigorously hurried back to Darnassus to find Count Robertson.
Roberson frowned and said: "It turns out that the Marquis's orchard is dilapidated like this, it seems that it will not work if he is not allowed to take a bite, so let's act." ”
Dali and the Count hurried to the docks.
Reenimo said: "Anyway, as long as it can play a role in training, it doesn't matter where you go." ”
Clifford exclaimed, "Transporting apples? Well, this kind of fiction and reality will be confusing to the pirates, and it will help to conceal our fishing operations, in fact, the pirates are also studying the activities of our fishing team. ”
The Earl said: "Then issue a gathering order."
"Yes, sir."
The earl said: "Lord Baron, it is inconvenient for me to continue to come forward in this kind of matter, so I would like to ask you for it." ”
Dali had to say, "Okay." "Your grandmother, you were the first to come forward to collect the transportation fee.
Two hours later, the port of Darnassus was densely populated with fishing boats, and there were no less than 200 of them at a glance
The flagship Piety set sail and the fleet departed. The fishermen don't know where they are targeting, they just go with the flow. The flagship's flagbearer passed the signal and asked all fishing boats to scrub their cabins and not smell bad. The fishing boats replied one after another: the standby period was extremely leisurely, and it had already been cleaned. It seems that it would be in the interest of the fishermen to be able to pick up a shipment of goods while they are idle on standby.
When the fleet arrives at Green Springs and then enters the river, the fishing boats know that they have a new mission. More than 200 boats were crowded in a narrow river, and the mayor of the town, Sencini, who personally escorted the goods at the dock, looked stupid.
Vigorously got off the boat and said, "I'm sorry, I've kept the town chief waiting for a long time." ”
Sencini was stunned: "It is worthy of the baron, I didn't expect to come so quickly, so much, and the goods I have prepared here are far from enough." ”
"After all, these fishermen are also my hired laborers, if the mayor of the town is short of manpower to carry the fruit, you can hire them at your wages, anyway, they are idle and sick during this time." ”
Sencini was overjoyed: "It's worthy of the baron, it's a big help for me now, in fact, our town usually employs a lot of workers, but it's too long to be out of business, and it's not enough to recruit for a while." ”
Vigorously immediately reported the recruitment of the mayor of Hongfeng Town, and immediately got the response of the majority of fishermen, these years, as long as there are employment opportunities, NPCs are also crazy.
Laughing vigorously, "Mayor Town, there should be nothing going on here, why don't I invite the Town Elder to have a drink?" ”
Sencini hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I am the landlord, how can I let the guests have a treat, or I will give the baron a pick-up." ”
Vigorously smiled: "I mean to invite the mayor to come to my cruise ship, if the mayor doesn't come, I will lose a lot of reputation, and the loss is not small."
Sencini looked at the white giant ship and said, "Recently, I heard that the Holy See has such a luxury cruise ship, and I can't help but be fascinated, so it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate?" ”
Vigorously said: "The mayor of the town, please, please here"
A group of hostesses and musicians on the ship immediately greeted them, and Sencini was a little embarrassed: "I'm embarrassed to only welcome me in such a big show."
Dali smiled and said: "Where is it, the mayor is not only a distinguished guest, but also a hired ship patron, so he should be grandly received" Although the mayor of the town has changed his attitude, Dali does not dare to kick his nose and get carried away, and he has to do enough homework......
After a busy night, the next day, all the large and small fishing boats were loaded, and the mayor who was reluctant to get off the ship was vigorously bid farewell, and the fleet was launched. Out of the inland river into the sea, all the way south, such a strange route may really be indifferent to the pirates.
After a short time, the seagulls hovered low in front of the boat. Clifford looked at the sky: "Captain, it seems to be a storm"
Reenimo spit out the smoke ring and said, "It's good to come, this is called pulling practice."
Dali exclaimed: "Old man, so many ships are fully loaded, once there is a storm, the ship will capsize and have an accident, so let's find a nearby port to avoid the wind."
Reenimo smiled: "The first mate only knows that there is a storm, but do you know how many levels of the storm are?" ”
Clifford shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
Reenimo said confidently: "It won't exceed the fourth level, so if you are afraid of this level, don't go out to the ocean in the future." ”
An hour later, the clouds were thick and the sky had darkened abruptly, with strong winds and waves, and torrential rain.
Clifford measured it with a wind vane and said in surprise: "The captain is really a good man."
Reenimo smiled proudly: "I haven't been to sea for a long time, and my judgment is not accurate, but this wind is really at the right time - the order, the route is adjusted, and the full speed ahead"
In the wind and rain, the ship took advantage of the wind, and the speed increased greatly again. I couldn't hold back the thrill of this kind of flying boat, and ran out of the wheelhouse to experience the feeling of the sea breeze blowing on my face - crackling, the raindrops were like hail, and the blood and physical strength of the beating were crazy, and even the rain could break the defense? Dali was so frightened that he hurriedly entered the door.
Ryneemo laughed: "A real man, what is this bit of wind and rain?"
Sigh vigorously: "Hey, it's too fierce, if it's that kind of hurricane at sea, it's really unimaginable"
"Yes, so what seafarers need is to keep exercising, not to drink and bask in the sun all day long, only those second- and third-rate seafarers hold wine bottles all day long and think of themselves - so the lord must not recruit seafarers who are addicted to alcohol when recruiting people in the future, wine can bring neither real strength nor real courage, it will only bring illusions to deceive oneself and lose one's correct judgment." ”
Hey, hey, the night I saw you, you grabbed a bottle and drank it as soon as you went out, okay?
Dali had to ask: "But, ten out of ten of the seafarers I saw at the dock were drinking" For example, the bearded Bluetooth.
"A truly first-class seafarer will never drink alcohol while working," says Rainiemo. ”
, in the end, only by recruiting people to see their work performance do they know that they are first-class and second-rate? However, it is said that Bluetooth is drunk like a piece of under the boat, and it is really not a drop of alcohol on the boat.
In the evening, the torrential rain stopped, and the sun shone down through the cracks in the dark clouds.
Suddenly, the seafarers cheered: "Dolphin dolphin"
Reenimo was startled, and immediately opened the door and went out to see, and sure enough, a large group of dolphins were following the fleet and jumping and galloping on the sea
- System Prompt: Your fleet gets "Dolphin's Lucky Blessing"
- Dolphin's Lucky Blessing: Ships sailing at sea who are lucky enough to encounter dolphins after a storm will have a chance to receive the blessing of dolphins, all seafarers' physical strength limit is +10, and each ship's ability to resist the storm is increased by 10.
- System Prompt: You have obtained the achievement "Dolphin's Blessing", +100 points for Constitution and +1000 points for Stamina.
Reenimo patted Dali's shoulder and laughed: "Yes, yes, I haven't met a few dolphins in more than a thousand years at sea, and you came out as soon as you came, your luck is really good."
Dali was pleasantly surprised: "Where is it, the captain is a master of art and boldness, if I had been replaced, I would have hid in the harbor a long time ago, so I didn't dare to ask for this blessing!"
Clifford also rejoiced: "Now, the whole fishing team has benefited, and fishing will be faster in the future."
Reenimo sighed: "Sailing in the sea, of course, you will encounter such lucky things, but you will often encounter disasters, such as the song of the Siren, mirages and whatnot, so you must be cautious - but rest assured, you will not encounter these bad things on the route, and of course you will not encounter such good things as dolphins, as a novice, it is best not to deviate from the course." ”
Clifford said, "What the captain said is very true. ”
Nothing happened overnight. By the time it went online the next day, the fleet was already sailing in a wide inland river. On the river, the trade fleets of the various kingdoms flowed endlessly. Compared with the formation of dozens of huge cargo ships, these more than 200 small and medium-sized fishing boats have simply affected the city's appearance a little.
The River Tedashir, the largest river in the Elven Kingdom. Teldashir, the largest and oldest world tree in the Elven Kingdom, is also the name of the Imperial Capital of the Elven Kingdom. The fleet marched all the way, showing the documents of the Marquis's family, and crossed three barrage checkpoints to reach Lake Talammere, the largest inland lake in the kingdom.
This is the imperial capital. In the distance, a towering misty tree rises on an island in Lake Talammere, the administrative center of the kingdom and the residence of the royal family and the high priests of the kingdom. Around the lakeside, there are dense docks, high-rise buildings, and ancient trees. On the wide lake, countless boats of all sizes shuttle back and forth. There is a city in the forest, a lake in the city, a city in the lake, and a tree in the city, which is the standard pattern of an elven city.
The magical power of the World Tree sheltered a large area of the Imperial Capital, and no so-called magic or disease could break through her defensive barriers. At the same time, the World Tree will greatly increase the power of the inhabitants of the Imperial Capital. In a sense, the World Tree is actually a plant god.
The flotilla arrived at the designated pier 124 and docked. This is the exclusive port of the Marquis's house. Being able to win a place among the hundreds of docks in the imperial capital is enough to see how powerful the marquis is in the imperial capital.
