Uncle Gu's answer was completely unexpected. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 InfoYou know, Gu was quite a good fighter before he became a full-time lumberjack. It was only because of some accident during his travels that he gave up his weapon and returned to Areste to work as a lumberjack.

And after so many years, the knot in his heart at that time has almost dissipated. So in the face of such an opportunity, it is not surprising that he would make such a decision.

"Okay! I'll say hello to the fleet about this. So Uncle Gu, what you have to do now is to arrange your own original industry, and then come to the beach to take over the ship in December next year. When the time comes, I will ask Mr. Lu to provide you with about 100,000 gold coins, and then you can discuss it with the people from the fleet, and select experienced sailors to enrich your ship!"

After sketching in his notebook for a while, Hiko raised his head and said to Gu.

"Now, I guess you can give it a name. ”

This sentence made Gu couldn't help but rub his hands excitedly. He looked at the big ship with only the keel in front of him, and thought for a long time before he held back such a sentence.

"I'm really not good at naming such things, Hiko, you're a smart man, give my ship a nice name. ”

"Me?" raised an eyebrow, and Hiko's bad taste flinched. "In that case, let's call it the Flying Nord!"

The name is naturally a tribute to the famous ghost ship - the flying Dutchman. It's been more than ten years since he came to this world, and Hiko has forgotten more and more about his original world. If there is an opportunity for him to reminisce about his other life, he will not miss it.

So, when Gu asked him to come up with a name for his ship. He immediately thought of the pirate movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" that he remembered the most, and there were actually only two or three pirate ships that he remembered vividly.

Captain Jack's Black Pearl might have been a good choice, but the name Black Pearl didn't suit the Nord style. So Hiko retreated and chose the flying Dutchman. Of course, there is no such thing as a Dutch in this world, but in terms of reputation as pirates, the Nords are no less famous than the Dutch in another world. Slightly modify, turn the flying Dutchman into a flying Nord, this name is very satisfying even to Hiko himself, let alone ancient.

"Good, good. It's called the Flying Dutchman. ”

Staring at the dragon whale ship, which didn't even have a deck, Gu nodded excitedly. If it weren't for the fact that there was really no place to put the knife, maybe he would have carved the name on the side of the ship by now. And looking at Gu, who was excited like this, Yan smiled slightly and said to him.

"Don't be in a hurry, Uncle Gu. It's still a long time. If I were you, it might be a good idea to go to the tavern for a drink. ”

"You're right, I should have a drink and celebrate. Grinning and smiling, Gu didn't forget his business at all. He pulled out a leather pouch from the carriage behind him and handed it directly to Hiko. "Here you go, Hiko-ko. This is what I promised you, the best piece of wood ever cut from the core of the tree. ”

Nord people do what they say, as long as it is what they promise, they will do it even if they die. So after getting the most satisfying return, Gu immediately took out what he had hidden a long time ago and handed it to Hiko in person.

Yan naturally wouldn't be polite to him, in fact, this expensive wood just solved his urgent need. He had a lot of ideas in his head that needed to be used for goals, and now that he had this, those ideas had room to be manipulated. So, after putting the things away, Yan waved his hand directly at Gu and said.

"Thank you, Uncle Gu. I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you. ”

"Go, go. I know your job is important, so go ahead and get busy. Besides, what would you do if I took you to the tavern. A Nord who doesn't drink alcohol has no role at all except to stand there as an ornament. ”

Shaking his head, Gu drove his carriage out of here. And looking at the back of him leaving, Hiko smiled and walked towards the warehouse.

The Gu matter is just one of a lot of troublesome things in his hands, and he still has a lot of things to solve. So now there is simply no time to rest for him. As soon as he returned to the warehouse, Dome came up to him with an impatient look on his face and yelled at him.

"Where have you gone? I've been looking for you all afternoon. ”

"I'm going to hand over things to Uncle Gu. What, you're looking for me?"

Putting down the notebook in his hand, Hiko poured himself a cup of hot water, and after moistening his throat slowly and carefully, he slowly responded to the dome.

This caused the dome to immediately explode his lungs. However, she saw very clearly that Yan was deliberately teasing her. If she did lose her temper, it would have been his way. So she held back her anger and said to him with a stiff face.

"I have already distributed all the things you asked Master Lu to distribute to those people. Someone asked me to bring you some things, and I temporarily left them at Master Lu's, so you can take a look at them yourself. ”

"So fast?" raised an eyebrow, and Hiko's face showed a slight surprise. He had done the job himself in previous years, so he knew how complicated it was. Not only should we check those signed orders one by one, but also give everyone a certain degree of dividends according to the final big data. Although he has calculated all the dividends, it is always inevitable that there will be some trouble when he actually does it. Because you have to explain, and sometimes, there are things that you have to explain and it's hard to agree with some greedy people.

Therefore, this work is quite energy-consuming and time-consuming, and even if Hiko does it himself, I am afraid that it will take a whole day to do it. It was surprising that the Dome was able to settle the matter before the sun went down now.

"How did you do that?"

"It's easy!" Seeing the undisguised surprise on Hiko's face, Dome immediately showed a smug look. "I gave them all the list you wrote. Let them be alone in charge of the pile of people in their hands, and the matter will be solved quickly. ”

It's a clever thing to do, but it's strictly speaking a disservice to them. After thinking about it for a moment, Hiko sketched in his mind the sad faces of a group of rough men frowning at the data on the signing form. Seriously, this kind of thing seems to be something that only a princess can do.

If it were him, he wouldn't be able to do such a thing. For one thing, he's used to working alone, and he'll feel a little uncomfortable when someone else intervenes. Second, he doesn't have the right to instruct others to do something.

Either way, the result is always good. So Hiko immediately complimented the dome.

"Well done, in this case, I can leave this kind of thing to you in the future. ”

"Leave it to me to be responsible?" Nord people pay attention to the ability to work more and be able to take the position, since they can complete this kind of thing, then the dome will naturally not shirk. "There's nothing wrong with leaving me in charge, but there are some things I have to figure out first. ”

"Well, you ask. Anything I know, I can tell you!"

In order to be able to pull this strong man, relieve yourself of some pressure. Yan nodded directly and agreed. Anyway, this is public for many Nords, and everything must be said to people, and it is not a big deal to say it.

But she didn't know this, and she stared at Hiko, trying to create a strong atmosphere. Then after a while, he was questioned like this.

"I've just looked into the supplies for this transaction, except for the ones that have already been distributed through my hands. There is still a large part of the things that are missing. The main ones were food, wine, slaves, and a huge amount of gold. Can you tell me where this stuff goes?"

The look on Qiong's face was serious, and it was clear that she took this very seriously. And with a slight turn in her head, Hiko knew what she was thinking. She thought of herself as an embezzler, thinking that she and some other people had embezzled a huge amount of wealth. This made him laugh immediately.

And seeing Hiko's sudden laughter, Qiong's eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"What's so funny, answer me quickly!"

"Okay, okay. Since you want to know about this, I'll make it clear to you. Shrugging his shoulders, Hiko, who didn't want to irritate the nerves of the dome any longer, immediately explained to her. "First of all, I'm going to tell you that I haven't touched any of these things. It's not just me, everyone is innocent here, and none of them have misappropriated this material without permission. ”

"So where did the supplies go? I searched the entire warehouse and found nothing. Even if I asked other people, I only knew that these things were moved. Except for you and Lord Lu who have the right to let people pick up the goods from the warehouse, who else can take things out. ”

"Rest easy, Dome. Hear me out!"

Holding Dome down the shoulder, Hiko explained to her carefully and earnestly.

"I had these things moved. However, it was not a private appropriation, but the opinion of the majority of the people was solicited as an investment. Invested in the Nord fleet. ”

"Nord fleet?" was the first time she had heard the name, but she soon realized what Hikoto was referring to. "You mean our pirate ship?"

"That's right, Corsair! But you can't use that anymore, you should call them the Nord fleet. A few years ago, I negotiated a deal with the boss of the Nord pirates. Every year during the Icebreaker trade, we give all the gold, as well as a fair portion of the grain, wine, and even slaves to all the Nord pirates. As a means for us to invest in the development of our fleet and expand the size of our fleet. ”

"The Nord pirates are very different from what they used to be. Now we have a total of 60 large dragon whale ships and 80 medium sea whale ships. At the same time, Whale Bay and several other ports are flooding with new ships at a rate of eight per year. We built our Nord ships here, and as soon as the new ships were built, they were sent to the Reich's shipyards to update the latest warship weapons, and then assigned to the Nord fleet to become a real new force. It can be said that a large amount of gold coins are needed for each link, and our gold coins are also used in these places. ”

"We support all the operations of the Nord fleet at sea, and the fleet brings us back rich rewards that make our icebreaker deal bigger and bigger. It's a virtuous cycle, you know what I mean?"
