Chapter 213: Return to Rainbow Island
The appearance of the sirens is also a wake-up call for everyone, they rarely encounter attacks from native creatures in the sea of dreams, plus they have wrapped iron sheets for the bottom of the ship earlier, so they are not enough to guard against underwater, and they have also forgotten the origin of the name of the dream sea.
However, the Sirens seemed to be celibate, and there were no more sailors missing after she was killed until she left the Dream Sea, which was of course related to the killing of the Sirens, and it may also have something to do with the obvious increase in patrols on the ship.
It was June when I went to sea, and it was already early September when I returned to Rainbow Island, even Will was still alive and dead for the first time to sail at sea for so long, seeing the safe return of the main fleet, Riddier and other people who stayed on the island were very happy, and Sojes also ordered the sailors to prepare for today's bonfire, first, to celebrate the safe return of everyone, and secondly, to welcome Rock Khan and Danby to join.
Ridtier and Eluda took the initiative to set up this banquet, because this was a carnival of the entire pirate group, so the venue of the banquet could only be set outside, and those who had just returned from the voyage led by Sojes did not go to help, they had not rested on land for almost 3 months, and they returned to the room with their tired bodies to rest, and even a few pirates who were extremely tired simply found a tree and fell asleep directly under the tree.
After resting for about three hours, everyone was woken up, and at this time, the food and drinks had been prepared, just waiting for everyone to sit down.
Although hundreds of sailors died on this voyage, there were still many people who came to the banquet this time, and by the time Sorgeth arrived at the banquet venue, it was already full, some of whom he could recognize, and some of whom were natives who had been taken over by Will to help take care of the crops, and the smiles on the faces of these natives as they gathered around Achedna made it clear that they were also content with their lives on Rainbow Island.
"Hey!"
Just thinking about it, he suddenly felt a slap in the back, and Sojes, who was a little unfocused, was startled, and instinctively wanted to make an elbow blow backwards, and the person behind him was also frightened, and quickly hugged his arm first.
"Really, I don't even recognize me! Do you want to beat me to death?"
Turning his head to see that the person who had just made the prank was Genevia, Sojes patted his chest with some fear, and Genevia didn't bother with him, and dragged him to the main seat, and around his position, Will and the others had been waiting there for a long time.
"Jack, you're too late!" As soon as he saw Sojes appear, Ridtier began to shout at the top of his voice, but Sojes just smiled and didn't care about his loud voice.
After taking their seats, everyone ate and chatted, and the two men who were nearly middle-aged began to drink together, and a group of pirates who watched the excitement nearby followed suit, and this group of guys actually opened a market for this to bet on which of the two had more drinks.
Riddir was dragged to fight for wine, and the rest was left to Eluda to report on the recent situation of the island, since the main fleet entered the Polar Ice Ocean, because the distance was too far, they could not communicate through the teleportation wrist wheel, until they came out of the Polar Ice Ocean and slowly resumed communication, and at that time there was nothing important, and the report was not in a hurry.
“...... In short, that's it, the natives who brought it over are very good at taking care of the crops, and now the spring wheat has already been harvested, and the winter wheat has been sown, and you are not there, so Ridier and I have our own hands and arrange for the sailors to make a batch of stone mills, and those spring wheat has been ground into flour, which can be used at any time. ”
"How much flour is finished at the end?" Sojes is more concerned about this issue, as he said at sea before, although the cost of food is not large, but now the team is getting bigger, and it is a lot of money to buy food in a year.
"Take out the wheat that is left behind, and the final processed flour is about 600 tons, which is about enough for 3,000 people to eat for a year, according to those natives, the land on Rainbow Island is not very suitable for growing winter wheat, and the yield is expected to be less than spring wheat, but after a year, plus the yield of spring wheat, at least with our current scale, we can be completely self-sufficient. Mentally calculating the numbers, Eluda informed Sojath of the results, who nodded in satisfaction.
The area of Rainbow Island is about 60 square kilometers, of which the forest area occupies about half of the area, the residential area opened up is not large, only 1 square kilometer for the time being, the area of farmland used to plant wheat is about 3000 acres, and it is only about 2 square kilometers, and some of the remaining more than 20 square kilometers can not be developed, and those areas that still have use value are also reserved by Sojes and are temporarily idle.
"Although we lost a lot of manpower and two ships on this voyage, the income was not bad, and we got more than 40,000 gold coins from the hands of the ice queen, and after a few days of rest, we will have some spare money on hand after selling the Hurricane to France at a discount, and then take this money and let Dirk pick a group of people by himself, and we will open a shipyard by ourselves!"
Speaking of this, there was a hint of excitement on Sojes' face that could not be concealed, and the rest of the people were also excited, they didn't want their shipyard to build battleships or even magic ships, as long as they could build some brigs or three-masted galleons, they would already be worth the price.
The revelry lasted all night, .com Sorjes, who had already listened to Eluda's report on the island, was also pulled over by the drunken Will, but he and Riddil, the two drunkards, Sojes also began to pour bottle after bottle, and after drinking it, he forgot how much he had drunk, and he couldn't even remember how he got back to his room.
After resting on Rainbow Island for three days, the fleet set off again, this time the Dragon's Tooth Pirate Regiment planned to buy a few battleships in Flange first, and then go to some nearby kingdoms to recruit sailors, compared to the relatively wealthy inhabitants of the empire, the living conditions of the inhabitants of the kingdom are relatively poorer, and it is easier to accept the life of pirates, Rainbow Island is still only sent to Ridier and others to stay, and the rest of the sailors who returned from the polar ice ocean are all on board the ship and set sail.
Although the Holy Beast Sea Area is a relatively small one among the nine seas, it is only relatively small, and the actual area is still very large, and this time I went to the French Empire only encountered two merchant ships one after another, and these two ships were just ordinary three-masted sailing ships.
Sojes didn't have much interest in such prey, but symbolically asked for two hundred gold coins each as life money and let them go.
"If there are fewer and fewer merchants, who else can we rob in the future?" Lockhan's words made everyone think that if there are fewer and fewer good people and more and more bad people in a world, then the piracy industry will almost come to an end.
