Chapter 123: The Most Powerful Weapon
At this time, it was noon, and the Donner and a few people were casually on the side of the street and found an ordinary restaurant with good foot traffic.
The two-storey restaurant is made of square rocks made of large polished stones, supported by rough round stone pillars in the load-bearing position, and the trees are horizontal beams.
The waiter of the restaurant walked in front, leading Donner and the others down the wooden spiral staircase to the thick wooden paved floor.
The planks creaked, and Jason picked a window spot with a good view of the street scenery.
The ingredients in the Holy Light Continent are extremely abundant, but the food they make is very simple, and the ingredients are extremely simple to make and handle.
Naturally, this restaurant is also the same, in addition to staple foods such as bread made from wheat flour, it is also a variety of seasonal vegetable grilled meats.
Fortunately, Donner doesn't have any high requirements for eating, and it's good to fill his stomach when he goes out, so Jason just ordered a few things casually, and took a pot of juice to quench his thirst by the way.
Because it is meal time, the restaurant has a good flow of customers, many businessmen come here with guards and mercenaries, the whole restaurant is busy, and many irritable guests are urging to hurry up and eat.
The waiter came over with two jugs of juice and bent down apologetically to tell Jason that he needed to wait.
Jason nodded slightly, signaling that he understood, and the waiter stepped back, and a few people said something.
Donner took a small sip of the fruit juice from the clay cup, the juice was a little sweet, a little astringent, a little sour, and there was a lot of sediment, which was caused by poor handling.
Therefore, the taste is barely palatable.
Donner looked out the window, below was the main road connecting the city gates, countless people were hurrying to and fro above, the wheels of trucks creaking over the stone pavement, and many small vendors carrying goods to sell, a bit of noise, looking very prosperous.
Directly opposite the line of sight is also a restaurant, there are a few beggars squatting outside, and there are waiters who come out from time to time to drink and scold and chase.
Whenever this happens, the beggars will stay out of the way, waiting for the waiter to return to the restaurant to entertain the guests, and then the beggars will return to the distance, and so on.
Donner watched for a moment, knowing what they were waiting for.
Wait...... The occasional bone or two thrown out of the restaurant or the window of the restaurant, these ...... will let the beggars rob.
Donner was stunned, it didn't taste in his eyes, and Jason called out a few words on the side: "Captain, Commander......" He came back to his senses.
Donner came back to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Uh!" Jason was stunned for a moment, didn't say, but asked, "Commander, what are you looking at?"
Donner gestured to the beggar refugees on the street, "I'm looking at them. ”
Following the direction that Donner pointed, Hans and the others took a look.
Jason sighed, "Maybe it's because of the war in the Northlands, there weren't so many beggars in Manhill City before. ”
Donner wanted to laugh, he wanted to say something, but finally changed his sentence: "What do you see in their eyes?"
Jason didn't know what Donner meant, so they didn't say anything.
Donner said to himself: "I see hunger, envy, jealousy, longing, hatred, hatred, and numbness in their eyes, but there is only one thing missing. ”
Several people nodded.
Matthew asked, "What's missing?"
"Resist!" Downer said lightly.
Jason understood what Donner meant, sighed, and said, "How did they resist? Resisted whom?"
"Yes!" said Donner, "how can they resist?"
"Okay, let's not talk about it!" Donner, looking out of the window, asked, "By the way, what did you just say?"
Jason said, "Hmm...... Commander, we're discussing, what should we do next?"
There was only a rough plan before the ship came, but there was no detailed plan, and there was no way to make a detailed plan.
Manhill City is a strange place for the people of Cancer Island, and it is quite difficult to sell porcelain and glass here, find suitable merchants, and open up trade routes to the mainland.
This has been proven in the Harwan Harbour Harbor.
And unlike Harwan Harbor, Manhill City has complex forces and many nobles, so it is even more difficult to gain a foothold.
At present, Cancer Island has no strength in Manhill City, and has no backers, so it will inevitably become a lamb in the eyes of people if it boldly sells a large amount of porcelain.
In the city of Manhil, the name of porcelain is known to everyone, and the benefits of it are known to everyone, and countless people are looking at it.
There were two dukes standing behind the Earl's Palace, so no one dared to move, but what about Cancer Island, why?
In addition, the sudden appearance of another man in the city who sold porcelain in large quantities, and who could also provide a supply, would surely attract the attention of the Earl of Elinor.
It would have been terrible if the Earl of Eleanor had found out that Donner had come to Manhill.
You must know that Donner once kidnapped the eldest lady of Count Elinor, this Liangzi may be separated by the ocean, the mountains and rivers are far away, so that he has no choice, and another one is related to interests, so that Count Elinor's mansion will continue to trade with Cancer Island.
But when they found out that the pirate leader had arrived in Manhill City, they could guess what they would do on their knees.
How could the people of Earl Elinor's Court give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Therefore, the crescent moon's plan to come to Manhill City this time did not tell Theodore at all, and he would be careful to avoid Earl Elinor's palace when he moved in the city.
Donner pondered the key points before he said, "Well, the porcelain will not be sold for the time being, let's see if we can find a shop to sell glass, and further afield...... In short, stand your ground first. ”
After hearing this, Jason also thought further, and said excitedly what Donner didn't say: "Yes, that's right, get a shop, which can be used as the stronghold of our liberation group in Manhill City, one can sell glass and other things, and the other can collect all kinds of information, keep an eye on the affairs of the kingdom at any time, and finally make friends with merchants from all sides, and wait for acquaintance, these merchants can become our business routes." ”
Donner smiled and nodded in agreement with Jason's words, but he continued to add, "Actually, I also have a purpose, which is to find more talent for Cancer Island. Craftsmen, scholars, sailors, alchemists, and even magicians, we are so short of talent. ”
"Uh!mage?" Jason was stunned, "will the mage go back to Cancer Island with us?"
"Nothing is impossible, there are always magicians who will agree with our ideals. Donner laughed and said, "Besides, we can influence them with our thoughts!"
The ideology of the Liberation Regiment basically comes from an organization in another world, and what is the most powerful weapon of that organization? You really don't know anything......
At this time, lunch was brought by the waiter, and the Donald and the others stopped talking.
