Chapter 614: Charles Bag
The weather at the end of summer can change, a thunderstorm and then the anti-waiting crowd of onlookers on the pier scattered, and when the rain clouds drifted up the river, the curious people continued to wait back at the pier.
A middle-aged uncle with a fishy smell on his body said to the neighbors: "It's a lot later than usual today." ”
The bald neighbor said, "I heard that today's road is a bit far. ”
As he spoke, he raised his calloused palm and scratched his head, then continued, "Today seems to be the last day, and you can lift the lockdown later, right?"
The fish seller said, "Yes, business will be easy from now on." ”
He looked at the bald neighbor's right leg, which was replaced by a wooden stick, and asked, "Have you been admitted to the workshop run by the Earl of Maccaden?"
The bald neighbor shook his head and said, "I didn't sign up." ”
"Why?" said the fish-selling uncle, puzzled, "the Earl of Maccaden says that adventurers like you can go." ”
The bald neighbor sighed and said: "There are not many people in this batch, and those who lack arms and legs need that job more than me, I heard that the workshop will be expanded in the future, so let's talk about it then." ”
The fish seller sighed and sighed with emotion: "Earl McCaden, he didn't take any of the money he found from the water thieves, and he used all of it to help you, which is really ...... What a nice guy!"
The bald neighbors also sighed: "Yes, good people." ”
Similar conversations took place around the docks, and they all awaited Charles's return.
Not long after, a man on the other side of the dock who climbed onto the top of the wooden crane suddenly shouted, "They're back!"
The crowd of onlookers on the pier suddenly made a "buzzing" sound.
A fleet of ships slowly sailed into the harbor, first two cargo ships docked, and four more were parked on the river not far away.
A dozen officers of the city defense army in ornate armor, members of the Adventurers' Guild and representatives of the citizens of Messina boarded the first cargo ship, and soon a knight stood on the bow of the ship and announced to the crowd of onlookers: "The Earl of Maccaden has killed 138 water thieves this time!"
The crowd of onlookers suddenly cheered, and the fishermen, captains, and sailors responded most enthusiastically.
Charles on the boat looked at the lively crowd on the shore and felt quite satisfied.
When he first planned to eliminate the water thieves, he was only thinking about gaining prestige, but after reading the information of those water thieves, he made up his mind to eradicate the tumors on these rivers.
At the same time, he also had some dissatisfaction with his grandfather in his heart, but he was helpless, this is the limitation of class, and his grandfather has more than these dogs.
He has now beaten the dogs to death, and the use of "dog meat" in the local industry can be regarded as a kind of salvation.
Then Charles's cargo ship left the port again and stopped on the river not far away, and in the eyes of the onlookers, the heads of the water thieves were all dumped into the river like garbage by the people on board.
Then the cargo ship docked again, and a handsome young man in blood-stained clothes, carrying a knife case, a bag of throwing knives tied to his legs, and a golden durian skin helmet in his right hand jumped off the ship.
Behind him, sailors disembarked with boxes of booty.
The cheering crowd of onlookers made way for Charles, and many flowers were thrown at him, causing a flower path to appear behind him.
At this time, the Marquis of Lucarelli, who did not know where he was hiding just now, walked over with his men with a smile.
The Marquis de Lucarelli, who was guarding the city of Messina, looked like a gorilla, and before he could wait for Charles's greeting, he hugged Charles and said happily: "Thank you so much, Charles!"
The Marquis of Lucarelli did not go to exterminate those water thieves, but those water thieves were able to escape every time, and the harvest from a few operations was not as much as Charles's boat.
Charles finally broke free, and he smiled and said, "If it weren't for the cooperation of His Excellency the Marquis, I wouldn't have achieved such results." ”
After the two exchanged blows, the Marquis de Lucarelli put Charles in the carriage and drove towards the City Lord's Palace.
In the carriage, Charles breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair to close his eyes.
That day, he relied on the so-called treasure map to wipe out all the big and small leaders of the water thieves, and the water thieves who stayed behind in the lair became a plate of loose sand.
With the intelligence support of Duke Redkin, Charles single-handedly destroyed a nest of water thieves.
However, he could not bring back the loot alone, so he returned to Messina and found the lord of the city, Marquis Lucarelli, to ask for support.
The Marquis of Lucarelli has been tormented by those water thieves for so many years, and the reputation of "Ru Eight Hundred" is very great, so he cooperated with his actions.
And Charles agreed with him that the belongings in the thieves' lair belonged to Charles, and the ships belonged to the Marquis de Lucarelli.
So the city of Messina was suddenly closed, and the underworld people in the city demanded that the city guards take the city guards to catch all the water thieves in the city, so that the news would not spread.
At the same time, Charles gave the Marquis de Lucarelli an address and asked him to send a ship to bring back the booty.
Over the next few days, Charles reported the address to the Marquis de Lucarelli for every nest of thieves he had destroyed, and he sent someone to move the loot.
Going to the docks every day to watch the loot of the water thieves come ashore and throw the water thieves' heads into the river became the new pastime of the city people.
The people in the city who lived on the water suffered from the water thieves, and now they can see the heads of the water thieves thrown into the water every day, and they admit that they have not worked for a few days.
At the same time, the tavern business in the city has been particularly good these days.
This is not just a matter of water thieves near the city of Messina, at least the western section of the Great River will be much safer for some foreseeable time in the future.
The next day, Charles announced that all the loot seized from the water thieves would be donated to the Adventurers' Guild to set up a workshop to house the injured and disabled adventurers, to fund the former adventurers who were unable to work, and to raise the adventurers' orphans.
The products of that workshop were also simple, and Charles obtained several slime rubber formulas that were suitable for cost and material performance, which were used to produce slime plastic bags, slime lifebuoys, and slime crash rings for ships to avoid collision when they docked.
It's easy to make a plastic bag, spread the hot melt slime glue on the hot stone slab like an egg cake and scrape it flat into a slime film, then fold it up and seal both sides with a hot iron sheet like a plastic bag seal, and then glue the handle on the top in the same way.
The slime lifebuoy is a little troublesome, put the hot melted slime glue in the mold and press it into half a piece, leave some flash around, and add the air valve to the other piece, and then combine the two semi-finished products together and then seal the flash heat, and a lifebuoy will become.
It's just that the pump hasn't come out yet, so you can only blow it by mouth, and then tie a knot on the air valve like a balloon.
The simplest is the slime crash ring, pour slime glue directly into the mold, cool it and open the mold.
When Charles handed over the plan to the president of the Adventurers' Guild, the guy almost banged his head on the table, regretting why he hadn't thought of such a simple thing.
Charles then sells the patent to the Adventurers' Guild for a nominal price of a small copper plate, allowing the Adventurers' Guild to use it across the continent, on the condition that the other union's workshops, like those in Messina, must be used to help disabled adventurers.
At this moment, Charles moved the president of the union to the point of crying like a child.
In fact, Charles himself is a little selfish, he is fed up with the life of no plastic bags to pack food, for the convenience of himself and the people of the whole continent, he took this opportunity to promote slime plastic bags on the mainland.
It was only later that the slime plastic bag was called the "Charles bag", which Charles did not expect.
Later, "Charles's pouch" became synonymous with "sleeve", which made Charles not know where to send it if he wanted to get angry.
On this night, the Marquis de Lucarelli hosted a banquet for Charles and awarded him the medal "Friend of Messina", which made Charles a little laughable.
At the banquet, the Marquis de Lucarelli, the old fox, only talked to Charles about the customs of the Bischberg Kingdom, without touching on the slightest political topic, and after the banquet, he sent someone to send Charles back to the hotel of the Adventurers' Union, without a trace of superfluous actions that could be over-interpreted.
Charles didn't care about this either, and he didn't want to get involved in political matters, he just needed to brush up his reputation among adventurers.
This Slime Workshop made a good start to his trip to brush up on prestige, and as time went on, workshops were spread out all over the country, and his initiative to alleviate the worries of adventurers will surely be remembered by adventurers.
