Chapter 36: You Can Leave
"Downer, I advise you to send us back to Manhill Harbor at once, and Miss Ben may give you some bounty if she is pleased, otherwise my father will definitely send warships to attack Crescent Island. Lislu looked arrogant and threatened.
Donner raised his eyebrows, it seemed that he was too good to this arrogant noble lady, he put down the silk scarf, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Lislu, it seems that you have been on Crescent Island for so long, and you have not yet realized your situation, I think it is necessary for me to show you the rules of the sea." ”
Theodore sweated profusely at Donner's stern words, he was not Lislu, a noble lady who had just come out of the ivory tower, he could see many cruel pirates.
Theodore motioned to his princess to shut her mouth with her eyes, and said with a smile to Donald: "Lord Chief, please calm your anger, we have no such intention, the contemptible people just came to discuss with the Lord Chief, and begged the Lord to let us go, and we will definitely give us a lot of ransom when the time comes." ”
Donner glanced at Lislu and said, "Miss Lislu, your father must have taught you the manners you should have as a nobleman, so, put away your arrogance and ignorance, this is not your family's territory, you have to believe in the fact that before your father's warship arrives, the first thing to fall is your beautiful head." ”
Where had Lislu been so intimidated and insulted, her face turned pale with anger.
"Yes...... Be. Theodore smiled shyly.
Donner picked up a knife and fork and cut off a piece of roast meat, and nodded at the vase on the windowsill, "Lord Sir, what do you think of the vase on the windowsill?" ”
Forehead!
The topic jumped a little quickly, and Theodore was stunned for a moment before looking in the direction indicated by Donner.
On the dilapidated windowsill sat a pair of white bottles with a faint hint of cyan in them, and a bunch of weeds were inserted in the vase, which were almost transparent in the sunlight.
"It's beautiful!" Theodore noticed that it was something he had never seen before, he looked at it carefully, and then praised it heartily.
Donner put down his knife and fork and said with a smile: "If it were Lord Sizz, I don't know how much money I would be willing to pay for this pair of vases, oh! In other words, if I sell it to the nobles of Manhill Harbor, I don't know how many silver coins it will be worth?"
Donner was afraid that Theodore would think he was blackmailing him, so he changed his words. Although he had already asked Yuri, he still wanted to get the approximate value of the porcelain from Theodore.
Theodore was not stupid, understood what Donner meant, and knew that Donner was genuinely asking about the price, he thought for a moment: "If it were me, I would be willing to pay fifteen silver coins to buy it, and my bedroom still lacks such a pair of delicate and beautiful bottles." ”
"However, I guess that such a perfect bottle should not have a handful of weeds in it, it is simply an insult, it should have a bouquet of roses in it, or a bouquet of tulips. ”
"Haha!" Donner laughed happily twice, "Sir Sir, you really have a vision. ”
"Thank you, Chief, for your compliment. Theodore wiped his sweat secretly, the hateful pirate was really moody, and he carefully pulled the topic back, which was the purpose of his trip: "So...... Chief, about letting us go?".
Donner nodded: "This ...... I'm going to be wronged by Lord Sir to stay on the island for a while, and I'll give you an answer in a few days, okay?"
The three of them looked at each other helplessly, and left the blacksmith shop regretfully, and the arrogant Miss Lislu gave Donner a vicious look before leaving.
After a general understanding of the value of porcelain, Donner began to lead people to continue firing porcelain in the next few days.
Downer mobilized nearly half of the adults on the island, divided them into groups, and carefully taught them one by one, from dredging and grinding mud, pulling embryos and repairing embryos, to firing in kilns, all of which were made strictly according to the assembly line.
This batch of porcelain was mainly for Theodore to be sold on the mainland, and with the experience of firing for the first time, it was necessary to do better this time.
Yuri is very interested in the firing of porcelain, and he tries every process from front to back.
Half a month later, nearly 1,000 pieces of porcelain embryos were made and placed in the room to dry for firing.
For the silver coins in the pockets of the nobles, many large porcelain objects were made in this batch, such as vases, pots, incense burners, shrines, etc.
In the past ten days, Donner specially pinched a statue of an angel with meters high and folded wings, although the appearance is not very exquisite, but the facial features, armor and other lines are still there, and it took his old nose to carve this angel statue.
All of these porcelains were ready to be painted, but there was not a single person on the island who was very good at painting. In desperation, Donner made some molds, as long as the same type of porcelain, let people compare the molds, and paint them with goose feathers.
These patterns are all simple geometric patterns, but for the dozen or so large porcelain, Donner painted some exquisite patterns himself, although his painting skills were also very bad.
For example, the rising sun of the sea waves, the sailing ship treading the waves, the knight stationing the sword, the six-pointed star in the starry sky and so on.
Old Yuri was in a mood and followed the two vases, and spent countless strange magic runes on a simple and broken sheepskin.
These patterns are quite abstract, which is not a choice, at least the ornamental ones are acceptable.
Three days later, the porcelain was fired, and Donner checked them one by one, and it was not bad, only a few pieces of porcelain cracked.
Donner asked someone to move all these porcelain utensils out, and then gave these porcelain tableware to everyone on the island first, including Alan and others, who have not been involved these days.
If you say good things, you must not break your promises. Downer's move won the support and praise of the whole island.
The pirate inhabitants got their hands on the porcelain, and they couldn't bear to use it to make cutlery. They heard that some porcelain would be sold to the mainland, in exchange for countless silver coins and grain for Crescent Island.
They all had the same thought in their hearts at this time, it seemed that from Donner to Crescent Island, to Willy's death, the life after Crescent Island was more and more worth looking forward to.
They don't know it, it's called ...... Wish.
Theodore and the three also saw the busyness of Crescent Island, although they were allowed to walk freely on Crescent Island, but if they wanted to satisfy their curiosity to watch the porcelain kiln, they would be refused to be outside the porcelain kiln.
This kind of secret, Donner definitely can't let them know.
So these days, they have been looking forward to being able to leave Crescent Island, but every time the Downer has made them feel at ease. Theodore and the three of them had no choice but to wait anxiously for Donner's reply.
But today, Donner suddenly came to the door and said to Theodore, "Sir Sir, you can leave, but I have some small requests, and you will fulfill me, right?"
