Chapter 0032: A Feast

"The last basket!

"Two ships keep a distance, don't collide!"

"Demon wolves, our three demon wolves, worth four hundred kings, have injured a hair and used you as food. Jared yelled at a crew member who had accidentally stepped on a wolf.

The stars blinked in the sky, the moon had not yet risen, and on a beach outside Salted Fish, the sea breeze whined and blew violently, the ships swayed, the sea gently lapped the shore, the torches whirred, and the hair and the horns of the clothes fluttered back together.

These ships did not go out to fight the sea, but engaged in transportation. Because there was no goods to exchange, the vassals engaged in this business very rarely, except occasionally, and they could sail along the coast, and in case of storms they could go ashore and take shelter, which was much safer than going deep into the sea to beg for food.

Salty Bay Wharf is not actually a wharf, just a few reefs, but fishing boats are moored here, there is a wooden house, and there is an old-fashioned guard with eyes as bright as an owl.

Normally, it was a deserted place, and if someone approached, they would be driven away, and the guards looked at the food they used to prevent theft or even theft.

However, tonight is different.

On the shore and on the water, torches were like dragons, and people were crowded with men, women, and children from Salted Fish Town, with Golov the blacksmith and his son, the tavern and his son, as well as the carpenter Stecha and the healer Sabina standing on the shore watching the ship raising its sails.

It's a spectacle that hasn't been seen in decades or even centuries, and the most frequented places for the people of Salted Fish Town are nothing more than taverns, unless the monsters drive them together, hide in caves, or soak in the sea.

Marlowe commanded everyone in high spirits: "The movements are all sharp! The wind is about to rise, we have to sail with the wind!"

He is a veteran sailor, with high sea fighting qualifications, rich experience, fierce people, prestige, and effective words, and this time the fleet went north under his full command.

He was excited, excited, not just with the title of fleet commander, this was a first-of-its-kind event in history, there was no silver sand in the history of the Silversand Collar to get anything out, if there were, it was the six ships he was leading right now.

If this deal is completed, the food will be settled, there will be no need to go hungry, and life will have hope from now on.

Alvin was thinking that Marlowe likes the sea, adventure and excitement, and leads fleets, but he doesn't know how to sail.

Kent stood at the bow of the ship, Hadley and Jared were on the right and left, the armor of the three knights, the cold light of metal shining under the torches, and the image of the great sword in his hand was very powerful, dazzling, and enviable.

After the ship docked at the salt port, in order to exchange iron ore and demon wolves for food, it was necessary to rely on an old acquaintance who worked in the palace guard, and now served in the personal guard of the second prince, Genier Sebastian.

Of course, there are still many roadblocks to be solved before that.

I have to say that the lord's actions tonight are a little crazy, but as an insider, I also know that since the wolf king's banquet the night before, the lord has been planning this matter, and asked in detail about many details of Marlow's path and beach.

Tonight, when the lord himself told him about the plan, he was still in disbelief.

No, the lord insisted that important Assassin captives should also serve hard labor, and when the assassins could not escape, when he loudly reprimanded Bucklet, the boy looked respectful but not afraid, and the lord did not look into it, it turned out that everything was planned.

It turned out that everything was planned.

The plan is very sophisticated, it is simply sophisticated, one ring after another, not like a young man can come up with it, but this may be the advantage of growing up in the place where the most smart people are the most.

Bucklay led the remaining fifteen guards to stand around Elwin, pushing people away when they didn't feel right approaching.

He watched and listened to all directions, but his heart was full of emotion.

Miracles exist, but to say that they have seen miracles are naturally exaggerated and exaggerated, but in just two days, six ships of iron ore were loaded on the shore, one more than the original plan, a full three thousand catties, then it is really not much different from miracles.

He knew exactly what it would cost.

Working day and night.

On the evening of the first day, he followed the bachelor and settled the copper with the people in the pit and the people by the sea, but early the next morning the outside of the mine was full of iron ore, and the two brothers who guarded the entrance of the cave said that the hard labor inside lasted until midnight, without overseers, without harsh reprimands and whippings.

The person who came to carry the ore was stunned for a moment when he saw so much cargo to be transported.

Previous experience showed that at this time, they would only curse in the most vicious language, their eyes were full of dissatisfaction, and they might even throw ore indiscriminately to vent their grievances, but at that time, unlike what they had seen and heard in the past, the people who carried the mine were not discouraged or felt that complaining about too much iron ore was high.

"Long live the King!"

"Accumulate a queen first!"

"There is only a bronze dragon after today's work, brothers!"

They shouted and loaded the baskets, lined up the edges, and added a large one to press on it, and walked away with laughter and laughter on the way, not at all like the slaves who were grinding and cutting corners and looking miserable when they were not paying attention in the royal capital.

Fantastic.

Even more unbelievable happened a moment later, and more people appeared on the hillside, including many children, fisherwomen, and he even saw two old women sharing sticks, lifting wooden frames, and staggering towards the sea.

Men, women and children go into battle together!

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the young lord who created miracles, could it be that he had cast magic on the slaves?

Alwyn waved his torch forward. Captain Hylkent waved his torch in response, and Marlowe, the backbone of the fleet, shouted, "Set sail!"

The white shadow moved, the sails rose, and the six small ships slowly started with the direction of the wind.

There is wind for three days, no wind for three years, in the era of sailing, the wind is a great help, with the help of this wind, it is also right to start early.

The sails rose, looking at the sky and the sea, and after a few breaths, the six fires turned into small dots, gradually moving away, and the crowd watching the excitement also dispersed.

"Let's go, let's go back and wait for them. ”

Alwin's eyes fell on the crowd, the inhabitants of Salted Fish Town were scattering, and it was difficult to tell in the darkness who was coming to watch, who was who, but he was sure that the assassin who had entrusted the guards to pretend to be paralyzed and let go yesterday had brought the news out, and at least one pair of eyes were watching him, and the departing fleet should have seen the three knights sail away.

The "they" to wait for are not the fleet, they are the guests.

After being eaten twice in a row, Alvin decided to be generous tonight, set up a banquet and entertain guests, and the farewell by the sea was just the opening ceremony.

The glass was full, but a bitter glass was prepared.

The guests are thinking about whether to go to the table, don't worry about them, don't choose for them, they must be on the table, there is no better opportunity than this, eat the banquet, eat a sumptuous feast, has always needed the generous cooperation of the host's family.

Tonight is.

Patience is required and is an ordeal for both the person who pours the wine and the person who wants to drink it.

Scanning around and finding nothing, Alvin and fifteen guards made a total of sixteen men, holding torches aloft and forming a long line with the clattering hooves of horses.

The man was gone, and behind the reef, the figure swayed, and two heads poked out, only an inch above the rock, unusually cautious.

The old voice said: "In the barren land, this son actually came up with a way to barter, and in the long run, it will become a big disaster, and it really can't be kept." ”

Another rough voice said, "Don't worry, old man, you will not let that little cub see the sun tomorrow." ”

"Good work, Captain!" said the old voice.

In the darkness, two figures looked at the torch dragon, and the leader Alwyn looked back with a premonition, the darkness separated each other, they couldn't see each other, but Alwyn knew that there was someone behind him, just as the two men knew that Alwyn was in front of him.
