Chapter 197: The Age of Discovery (20)

Ye Qing and the others had already walked away, and Rong Sheng suddenly turned around.

In the distance, on the hillside, there is also a black spot.

As they walked farther and farther, the black dots grew smaller and smaller until they were gone.

Rong Sheng asked, "Rod, you said Leon is the best gunner you've ever seen?" ”

"Yes."

"And can we find a gunner as good as him in Wendy?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on our luck."

The unique geographical location and weather make Wendy's special significance in the Nolan continent, coupled with the excellent shipbuilding skills of Wendy's people, people who want to go to sea will come to Wendy to choose ships, and over time, Wendy has formed a complete industrial chain.

Whether it's a ship, a general crew, a craftsman, a gunner, a doctor and other necessary personnel to go to sea, or other needs such as cooks, winemakers, animal trainers, singers, etc., Wendy can be satisfied.

"It's still early today, let's go straight to East City!"

"Wendy has two specialized markets, East Market and West Market, and in East Market, we can see a large area of iron shops......" Before Wendy, Rhodes had already told them everything about Wendy.

When Ye Qing stepped into the main city, he found that the distribution of industries in Wendy's main city was different from other places.

In other places, the shops related to commerce and trade or the places where people exchanged goods were set up according to the unwritten rules left over from the past, but in Wendy, the area near the sea is full of taverns, next to fresh vegetables and all kinds of fish, east of the central square, the east market is mainly the equipment needed to go to sea, and the west is similar to the modern talent market, where the crew and others are there, waiting for their next employer.

The royal palace is at the back of the square, ancient and majestic, the square leads directly to the royal palace, in front of the palace gate, there are two rows of armor guards, the back is straight, the expression is solemn, full of royal majesty.

Rhodes led a few people to the East Market, and said, "By the way, Wendy is the only place on the Nolan continent that has abolished the slave market. ”

"No slave trade?"

"Queen Sale's order." Rhodes explained: "That was the first order she issued when she first ascended the throne, and the opposition at that time, even I heard at sea, the queen was very difficult to override!" Even this thing market also emerged a few years ago, which is especially convenient for those of us who come to Wendy to get equipment for going to sea! When I led a team to sea for the first time, I couldn't find a lot of things, and I ran all over the city, and now, everything can be found in Dongshi, you say, isn't it much more convenient? ”

"When you say that, I'm really curious about the Queen." Ye chuckled.

"Haha, if you have a fate, maybe you can still meet her on a street in Wendy, I heard Leon say that Queen Sail is very close to the people, and will regularly go to the street to check how everyone is doing, such a queen is really rare!"

"It's really good."

"Another point, the queen will support those voyagers who set out to find the lost city, whether it is Wendy or people from other places, as long as they go to the sea office to register and report before going to sea, the number of people on the voyage, the route and the expected time of return, the queen will provide some additional food and other subsidies."

"No one would be willing to cheat like that?"

"Voyagers who break their oaths will be spurned by the god of the sea!"

Rhodes was excited, and he said that except for pirates, the quality of sea voyagers was actually much higher than that of people on land, and no one would swagger under the banner of Crus, and that doing so would be despised by everyone.

When he came back to his senses, he said again: "Actually, the queen is very smart, she ordered someone to register the information of each captain, the old man of the maritime department, don't look at him in his seventies, his eyes and brain are very good, he remembers how many times I went to sea from Wendy, and it is not so simple to tease the people of the maritime department!" ”

Half an hour later, several people came to Dongshi.

"The front is the iron shop we are looking for, I hope we are not bad luck."

Rod walked into the blacksmith and saw a man in his sixties: "Is Juan there?" ”

"Who are you?"

"I'm a friend of Juan, come and see him."

The man's gaze swept over everyone's face before he said, "Juan has sent a sword." ”

"Can we wait for him here?"

"It's best not to affect my business, you have also seen, my iron shop is only the size of a palm, how can so many people squeeze it?"

Rod pursed his lips and turned to look at Ye Qing and the others: "That...... Let's go out and have a look. ”

Ye Qing walked inside: "Go ahead, I'll wait here." ”

"I'll wait here too." Rong Sheng followed into the iron shop.

"Go out with them and come back and tell me how this place is different from the previous ones."

Rong Sheng had no choice but to nod, he followed Shi Yin, and a few people went out with Rhodes for a walk, while Ye Qing sat in the iron shop.

In addition to Ye Qing, there are a total of two people in the iron shop.

One was the man who had just replied to them, and the other was a young man with a sturdy build.

After Rhodes and the others went out, no one paid attention to Ye Qing, she sat quietly and watched the two of them strike iron.

There was a large stove in the center of the room, and a wind box was set up by the hearth, and when the bellows was pulled, the wind entered the stove, and the flames jumped straight in the hearth.

The boss and the man are very strong, the man holds a sledgehammer in his hand, as the saying goes, you must first be hard to strike iron. Iron striking is a man's career, after all, you can't strike iron without strength, you don't dare to strike iron without guts, and you don't want to strike iron without the spirit of hardship.

The two continued to strike iron, and Ye Qing's gaze turned to a wall on which hung their forged iron tools, iron chains, hammers, broadswords, and some farm tools that she couldn't name.

Suddenly, a figure swung in.

"Master......"

Ye Qing looked back and saw the man leaning against the door, the whole person was dirty, his nose was hanging with snot and nosebleeds, and his forehead was also broken.

"Juan, what's the matter with you?" The older man threw the iron in his hand into the water.

Juan bowed his head and said angrily, "I...... Fell. ”

"You've been beaten, haven't you? Did you do it to the people who gave the swords? The young man took the sledgehammer and walked towards Juan with an angry expression.

The older man glared at the younger man, frowned, and looked at Juan.

"Did you break the sword?"

"Nope."

"Have you received the money?"

"Nope."

"Let's go." The older man took a small hammer from the shelf, turned around, and saw the young man looking geared up: "What are you doing?" ”

"Master, I'll go with you."

"We're going to ask for money, not to fight, you stay! Juan, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and lead the way! ”

The older man pulled Juan out of the iron shop, and Ye Qing got up and followed.
