Chapter 0057: The Lord Returns
A dozen enthusiastic people were exposed to the sun of the dock, sometimes quiet, sometimes restless.
It is said that the wharf is actually a barren beach on the edge of Salted Fish Town, this place has an abrupt reef and a flat beach, a bit like a woman with a good figure, the flat place is flat, and the convex place is high, which is convenient for people to climb to the top and look at the sea.
It is usually the departure and return meeting place for fishing boats to go to sea, the place where families get a share of the harvest and collect the corpses, and it is also a place where the salted fish gang extorts money and smashes and loots.
The high places were full of people, and those who could squeeze into good positions had to have some useful ones in their hands, broken gongs, old drums, and other things that could make noise, waiting to welcome the lord in triumph.
"Haven't you come back yet?, isn't it far away, a small point, I didn't see clearly, look at the old thing carefully!"
From morning to noon, Sabina was hungry, and while scolding, she chewed a piece of dried fish in her mouth, which tasted salty and astringent, and it was really not delicious.
"You can't be wrong. For decades, Salted Fish Town is the old man, my eyes are the best, cloudy, windy, rainy, concerned about the safety of relatives of the old and weak women and children entrusted to find a boat, has always been the old man I first discovered. β
"My old man has sharp eyes, and he can't be wrong, absolutely not wrong. β
As an authority, the old guard of the dock had a gloomy old face, he didn't want to grind his teeth with them, and he didn't have any teeth to rub on, and his shriveled old mouth made a whining sound.
He is an old man guarding the docks, with eyes as sharp as an owl, the shrews and he has seen are not in small numbers, who dares to offend his dignity, he can scold, he can beat, he has scolded a lot for decades, and he has beaten a few, and he has not had the concept of a good man not fighting with a woman at all.
Like the big logarithmic people, Sabina's temper is as bad as the storm of the sea, but her body bones are better than the group in the east, and she will not lose to anyone in a fight, which is not surprising at all, and there is no one who can adapt to survive in the silver sand collar who is not cast iron in physique and character, even if it is a woman, she is also a strong woman.
He was a little afraid of Sabina. That year, that day, the sky was cloudy and rainy, Sabina's father did not return to the sea, that is, she also said the same thing, "Look carefully, old thing!" The young and vigorous returned his mouth, and as a result, on the first day, he did not see the sea...... The next day, he did not see the sea...... Seven days later, on the eighth day, the swelling had subsided a little, and he could barely see a little bit of long-lost blue through the cracks of his eyes.
And also has some respect for Sabina, at least the other party is the only doctor in the town, people are old and sick, and there are many places to ask her, the old guard can't tear her face, swallow his anger and explain patiently, but he is not convinced in his heart.
On a whim, the young lord took a newly captured pirate ship to conquer Whale Island, and of course it was good to fight pirates. But this is also too anxious, from the day he knew the sea, he understood that pirates are like miscellaneous fish in the sea, and if the sea does not dry up, it will not become extinct. If pirates had been razed so easily, pirates would have been no longer a scourge on earth.
He always felt in his heart that the young lord would not be able to accept the pirates, but might be accepted by the pirates, and the next day, it was time for the silver sand lord to change lords, and the people who waited from morning to now were like the people left behind in the sea, looking forward to piercing and not seeing the mast.
"Will it ...... Can't come back? Pirates are not easy to mess with. Sichaert asked softly.
The only old bachelor sitting on the bench in the audience stroked a proud snow-white beard, facing the sea, and was silent.
Asida, the only knight left behind, glared fiercely at the old carpenter, who shrank his head and lewd back.
Absolutely, the old guard agreed in his heart but did not dare to speak, the guard was a knight, and his shot must be much heavier than Sabina, and a wave of the great sword would make him no longer see the sea.
Asida was also unsure, so he stood on tiptoe with the blacksmith and the tavern owner and his son, and built a pergola with the only palm, and looked into the distance, the sea and sky in the distance were one color, and several seagulls rose and fell, without the shadow of the ship.
......
Whenβ
The gavel struck, and the sound wave of the broken gong exploded on the humble docks of Salted Fish Town, rippling in all directions.
"What madness?" said the blacksmith, who was taken aback, reprimanded his son.
"Boat! There's a boat!" Chuck shouted, "Boat...... Come...... It's over!"
"Hmm...... "yes," the old guard squinted, "yes...... It looks like a white sail......"
"Look! The old bachelor stood up, his cloudy eyes and bright pupils, as if two torches had been lit.
It's not that he's not in a hurry, but he's calm. People have stayed in the royal capital for a long time, the free Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face, and the Yellow River decided to cultivate without panic.
At this time, he also urged to verify the news, without him, there would only be a ship for Alvin to return victoriously. If the pirates win, they should celebrate on the island at this time, and there is no way to make their way to Salted Fishtown.
"It's a boat!" the knight Asida's eyes lit up, and he followed the direction of the Qincha mallet and saw the small black dot.
"Yes...... There is a ship!" was robbed of the limelight, and the old guard was not very happy, and slowly agreed.
Knock β
The drumsticks fell, and the drums, which were about to fall apart, made an unusually shocking sound.
Geiger shouted, "Boat...... Come...... It's over!"
Woo β
Alyssa puffed out her mouth and blew the conch, the sound of which was heard from the still distant beach to the sea.
All kinds of chaotic sounds are handed over together, there is a taste of demons dancing wildly, but people don't care about these, welcome the warriors who return triumphantly, as long as the sound is born, big enough, everyone is happy.
The old dock guard, whose eyes were as bright as owls, whined with his toothless beak: "It's going to change." β
Yes!
It's going to change.
For three days in a row, the wharves of Salted Fish Town were very lively, the night before yesterday to bid farewell to the fleet transporting iron ore to the north, yesterday morning to the Giant Whale Island, today people gathered to welcome the warriors back triumphantly.
It had never been seen before, it was all a new atmosphere brought by the Heart Lord.
Alwyn led the way at the bow of the ship, the guards stood on the left and right, Salted Fish Town spread out along both sides, and the whale beauty occasionally pushed the starting point with her giant hand to help it move forward, and everyone grabbed the cable together to relieve the impact of inertia.
When the boat docked, people disembarked, and the crowd shouted, calling fathers, brothers, husbands, calling friends, and there were many of them.
There were a lot more people disembarking, and it is understandable that if you win the pirates, there will naturally be many captives, and then, there will be female slaves.
The crowd began to boil, exterminating pirates was the same as fishing, not only did they catch them all, there were no casualties, but they also had a full harvest, a legend that had not been seen since the birth of Salted Fish Town, and the entire Salted Fish Town raised its eyebrows, feeling that it was stained with fairy spirit with the young lord.
The dock was boiling, and some people began to shout, Lord Lord is wise and martial, and has the air of a king, Lord Lord Young Hero is invincible and other emotional language.
When the news spread, the people who had been nested in the dilapidated shacks could not stay any longer, and they ran to tell each other, and people came to the docks in an endless stream, and the more people gathered, they gathered together to look at the slave girls, and to see the boxes of food and money that were brought down, and then they saw a huge sea beast beckoning to them.
After a short period of panic and fear, the people on the boat were not afraid, and they were naturally not afraid, but felt that the giant whale jumping and the water column rising in a phalanx was the strongest and most beautiful background.
The salted fish is going to turn over!
The young lord has to lead the people in just a few days after taking office, robbing money, food, and women, and subduing the giant beasts in the sea, and there is no way to explain it.
Alvin and a few of the guards finally stepped off the boat, "Meet the lord." "The carpenters and healers took the lead, and the people knelt together as if they had seen a god.
"Long live your lord!"
"Lord Lord is invincible!"
"Long live your lord!"
"Lord Lord is invincible!"
The mountains are shouting and the tsunami, and they are all happy and convinced.
"Everyone get up, everyone get up, everyone cheers up and works hard, building a silver sand collar, and a good day is about to begin. β
"Long live your lord!"
"Lord Lord is invincible!"
"Swear allegiance to the lord!"
"Long live the Silver Sands!" Elwin shouted.
"Long live the silver sand collar!"
The crowd waved their fists and shouted, and the coastal sea column rose in unison.
......
"We need a flag!" After squeezing out of the crowd and meeting up with the old bachelor and Asida, Alvin turned his horse and looked at the men, women and children of Salted Fish Town and said to Buckre, "Shake it at this time, let people gather under the flag, the most imposing and inspiring." β
"You are a banner, my lord. The bubbly Buckley slapped his ass in a comical tone, "Your shadow can be uplifting." β
"Immediately when you get back to the castle, order Maurice the Tailor to make one, and use the Golden Wyvern banner of Faroran," said Alwin, "and show your teeth and claws, the fierce-looking, murderous kind, and hang one on the castle, the starting point, and the town." β
"And the convoy," Alvin said, pointing to the three knights and Marlowe who had parted ways and sailed north in small boats, "and the bow of the ship will also be hoisted with the golden dragon flag, and the future enlarged trading fleet, and the fleet armed to the teeth, will also be hoisted neatly." β
"Yes, my lord!"
