Chapter 165: Charcoal in the Snow
Berg's words made Rocky stunned, the tyrant of Rose City?
What he said...... Could it be Karina?
For Karina, Rocky has actually only seen two or three sides, although the other party has left a deep impression on him, but it is far from knowing each other, so after hearing Berg's evaluation of Karina, Rocky was naturally a little surprised.
However, this kind of surprise only stopped at the level of surprise, because even Rocky himself did not know when he and Karina would meet again, so there was really no need to get to the bottom of it.
So after that, he talked to Berg about the business this time, that is, the repair of the battleship.
The shrewd Berg had actually guessed Rocky's intentions a long time ago, and there was indeed a dock in Lingyu City where the battleship could be repaired, and in this case, the two could be said to hit it off, which put Rocky at ease.
After learning that there was a dock in Lingyu City, Rocky drove his fleet to the dock for renovation, which took about half a month, and the cost required was not too outrageous, Berg personally came forward to help Rocky kill the owner of the dock, and pressed the cost of repairing the battleship from 50,000 to 35,000 gold coins, although it was more than the money that Erin gave Rocky, but it was still within the affordability of Thunderhawk City.
As for Berg taking the initiative to help Rocky, of course, it is not because of how good his friendship with Rocky is, but for him, this kind of behavior is an investment.
In his eyes, although Rocky is just the city lord of a small sky city like himself, his potential is undoubtedly huge, in fact, after hearing about the great battle between him and Baron Wallin, Berg, like other city lords, got a copy of Rocky's information from the Shadow Alliance.
The Shadow Alliance's information can be said to be quite detailed, starting from Rocky's inheritance of his father's medium-sized Sky City, to his battle with Baron Wallin, all the major events that happened to him during this period have been collected by the Shadow Alliance, including the feud between him and the Myront family, including his recapture of power from the former guard captain Al and the administrator Perolo, as well as the mission of Back Mountain Village, etc., and even the matter of Orton is mentioned.
So don't look at Berg and Rocky have only met two or three times, but he knows a lot more about Rocky than Rocky imagined.
Of course, although the information investigated by the Shadow Alliance is very detailed, it does not mention the magic rune, because the process of Rocky's discovery of the magic rune is actually very ordinary, and in the eyes of outsiders, he just went to land, and without knowing it, even the Shadow Alliance will ignore this matter.
But even so, a smart person like Berg is enough to see some clues from Rocky's development trajectory, that is, Rocky's development is too fast!
It's really fast!
From the time he eliminated the captain of the guard, Al, and the administrator Peroro, and then completely controlled Thunderhawk City, in just half a year, he had developed Thunderhawk City, which had a population of only 1,000, to the scale it is now.
Although the current Thunder Eagle City is still very weak, it has begun to take shape in all aspects, and it can be said that it has built a decent foundation, as long as it continues to develop step by step, not to mention more, it is just around the corner to become the best in the small Sky City.
On the other hand, Rocky's development of military strength is also noteworthy, and within half a year, he let Thunderhawk City have a fleet of his own, and through a battle with Baron Wallin, he successfully established his strength, and completely demonstrated his strength.
It is no exaggeration to say that the strength shown by Rocky and Baron Wallin in the battle has reached the upper middle level in the small Sky City, which is why other city lords are afraid of Rocky, because the strength he has shown has already paid attention to threatening everyone.
But in fact, the battle with Baron Wallin only showed the strength of the fleet in Rocky's hands, and the strength of the guards under his command was not yet known to the world, but please don't underestimate the guards in Rocky's hands, a force that has fought against hundreds of demons and finally won, which no one can and should not underestimate!
Through a not very complicated document, ordinary people may just watch the excitement, but smart people can see more from it, and Berg is such a smart person, so he immediately sees Rocky as a person to woo and befriend, as if he had treated Karina.
Berg is not a man who is good at fighting, but he also has his own goals, he hopes to develop Lingyu City into a trading city on a par with the Sleepless God City, and for this goal, it has become an important task for him to make friends with various city lords who are powerful, but not yet unequal.
A powerful city lord is equivalent to a powerful customer, this does not need to be explained too much, the reason why Nightless God City can become the trade center of the entire Sky City is because there are countless city lords who choose to trade there.
In addition, as the saying goes, if a good man has three gangs, if Berg wants to make his city bigger, he will definitely encounter all kinds of resistance and even danger, because all trade-based cities represent wealth!
Money can make ghosts grind, and money can also make people eat people! Nightless God City is one of the monsters in the sky, no one dares to pay attention to it, but in a small sky city like Ling Yucheng, there are many people who pay attention, whether it is the city lord of the same small sky city, or the city lord of those big sky cities, it is possible to target Ling Yucheng.
In this case, Berg needs helpers, and he needs the helpers of fellow city lords to help him fend off the dangers of those who have bad intentions and use his city as fat.
Rocky, apparently, is one of his favorite helpers, in Berg's opinion, Rocky has potential but no backers, enemies but few friends, which is simply too much in line with his requirements, so if he can really make friends with Rocky, it will be beneficial to him and harmless.
Lodge could naturally feel Berg's attitude, and of course he could understand that Berg intended to befriend him, and in fact he was quite grateful that Berg could do so.
This period is indeed a difficult period for Rocky, who has just experienced a big war, although he won, but his own losses are equally heavy, and he has caught up with the financial crisis of Thunderhawk City, plus he has to be ready to meet the revenge of the Myront family, all of which add up to make Rocky feel a lot of pressure.
And Berg's ability to help him at such a moment, no matter what the purpose, was an act of relief for Rocky, and it was worth remembering for him.
Among smart people, there is no need to say everything so clearly, if you understand, you understand, and if you understand, you understand.
So in this case, Rocky temporarily let Thunder Eagle City stop next to Ling Yu City, and the two cities were suspended in an airspace at the same time, and this situation would probably last for about half a month, because it would take at least half a month to repair all the warships.
During this time, Rocky thought that he would be able to relax for a few days and make plans for the future, but unfortunately he didn't have this opportunity at all, and the next series of things made him busy at all!
