Chapter 303: Seeking Retirement (I)
Chapter 303 Seeking Support
There is a lot of strength in numbers, and a large room is cleared. It soon became a temporary residence for Romon.
The floor had been cleared, and the pirate captives were scrambling to drag it for their lives, making it bright with wood and brand new furniture.
Originally, even after cleaning, there was still a mildew that had not been inhabited for a long time, but this was Luo Meng's strong point, and with a little use of natural power, suddenly, the breath of the forest after the rain emerged and filled the entire room.
Of course, in the end, it is temporary, and the furnishings are very simple.
There is a long table and a few chairs on the outside, and a bed and a desk in the room inside.
Outside, from time to time, there were flashes of divine light, which were Pastor Pakinla's people healing himself.
Romon rested slightly, and at that moment, a faint meow was heard.
Hey, Romon who is free. glanced at it, and found that in the corner, there was a black cat, this black cat was skinny, it was obvious which domestic cat, after the disaster, lost its owner, and because of the snow in winter, there was a shortage of food, and it was hungry.
The black cat, seeing that Romon noticed it, "meowed" again, and barked quite mournfully, trying to beg Romon for some food.
On the earth, Romon was once scratched by a cat and paid a few hundred dollars, but he still liked cats very much, at this time, this cry made his mind clear, he laughed, and when he moved his hand, there were two more bowls, one was water, and one was sausage.
These two bowls, as soon as they appeared, the eyes of a black cat. All of a sudden, my eyes widened.
It straightened up, meowed at Romone, staggered to its feet, and pounced on it.
As the cat gobbled up, Romon paid attention to it, it was very thin, its backbone was clearly visible, and there were many blood marks on it, probably the result of fighting with other wild cats or animals.
There's fleas on it.
There was still a period of time before the report outside, Luo Meng stretched out his hand, and a natural force suddenly enveloped the black cat, and the fleas on the black cat poured out wildly and left the cat's body, there were hundreds of them, which was terrifying.
After feeding the water and intestines, the black cat came up to flatter, sniffed Romon's scent, and rubbed Romon's leg with his head!
Romon is not a wild druid. But since he is a druid, he still has the power to communicate with animals, and on a whim, Romon has a green light flashing in his hand and establishes a model of animal conversation.
A hint of hazy feeling made Romon feel its flattery, as well as grievances, which kept coming with the sound of "meowing", as for specifically saying "Master, you can take care of me", this is impossible.
In the previous life, the animal communication on the earth was complete nonsense, and even in the case of this kind of magical communication, the animals could not speak, and could only express certain meanings.
Being able to speak means that animals have begun to evolve into human-like intelligence.
If the cat can talk like this, then this cat is not an ordinary cat, Romon shook his head with a smile, stretched out his hand on its neck, and scratched it gently, the black cat twitched all over, it was not only a kitten that was tickled and comfortable by the owner was gently coquettish, but it was also moved by the long-lost warmth and sense of security.
Romon was surprised for a moment when he felt its subtle whimper.
But then, there was a knock on the door outside: "My lord!"
"Come in!" said Romon as he withdrew his hand.
In a moment, both Sukar and Pastor Pajinla stepped forward, entered, and bowed.
"Your Excellency. Our personnel have basically completed their treatment, and the prisoners and wealth have been counted. Sukar said reportively, handing over a few pieces of note-taking paper.
"Very well, what about the exact numbers?" said Romon casually.
At this time, Sukal looked at Pastor Pakinla, this matter is all counted by him, in other words, in this world, there are only those priests and mages, as well as nobles, and ordinary mercenaries can read the announcement.
"My lord, after counting them, there were always thirty-nine pirate prisoners, all men, and eleven of them were seriously wounded. Pastor Pajella reported, pausing, "It's cold now, is it appropriate to put it outside?"
Romon looked outside, outside the glass window, it was noon, it was the sunniest time of the day, but at this time. The sky was overcast again, tiny snowflakes were falling, and the temperature plummeted.
"Get some rooms to keep them in separate places, give basic treatment to the wounded, get some food for them, don't let them die, and interrogate them about their current situation in the sea. β
"Yes, sir. β
Seeing that Romon had nothing to say, Pastor Pakinla continued to report: "Find five thousand six hundred and forty-one silver coins, and three thousand one hundred and eleven gold coins." There were also some jewels, and half warehouses of grain, twenty-one barrels of spirits, and some weapons. β
"Very well, Sukar, I promise you a reward, this time it is all there, it was originally seven thousand two hundred and twenty silver coins, this time it is also meritorious, it has been increased to nine thousand, all of them will be distributed, the silver coins are insufficient, and the gold coins are being filled. Romon waved his hand: "Also, Pastor Pakinla, the total number of gold coins promised to you will also be increased to eight hundred, and you can count how many more." β
"Yes, and a thousand nine hundred and seventy-five gold coins. Pastor Pakinla calculated at once, the report said.
"My lord, there's also a bounty for Team Ernaux. Sukar reminded him as he reported the process: "Finally, it came out, about nine hundred silver coins." β
"This victory, they did a good job, count a thousand, you go back, after the bounty is paid, tell them, ask them if they are willing to move their family to this town, if they will, I will appoint Ernaux as the captain of the town. Luo Meng said flatly: "If I want, I will move the population here after the New Year, if I don't want to, forget it." β
Although it needs manpower, it is not too embarrassing, and besides, Romon already has a new idea in his heart: "By the way, you call the pirate named Kebi." β
Not sure why. Romon was intrigued by him.
A moment later, the cold and blue Pirate came in, and as soon as he entered, he knelt on the ground with a very spineless "pounce", and shouted in his mouth: "My lord, you have descended from the sky, so mighty, I am more willing to surrender to you, please accept me as a servant!"
Luo Meng was stunned, it was the first time he met this person who was convinced by his "Wang Ba's spirit" and begged for support, and he couldn't help laughing.
This guy is really interesting.
But after laughing, Luo Meng's eyes were cold, and he picked up the cup and drank tea.
But the pirate lowered his waist, and cold sweat seeped out.
After a while, I heard Romon ask, "Which pirate do you belong to, and why are you here?"
"My lord, we belong to Captain Kagita. β
Captain Kagita?
Romon seemed to have heard of a pirate who was a little famous nearby, and he sneered: "What about Captain Kajuta?"
"Dead, just shot. The Cobi pirate muttered.
"Dead, tell me, what's going on at sea, who's the strongest?"
"Captain Kajuta is one of the nearby pirate groups, but not the strongest, the strongest is Waddenvin, he is now the pirate king, and he is trying to annex the other fleets!"
"Waddenvan, I've heard of a very young pirate captain, but he's going to be the pirate king?" Romon couldn't help but sneer.
There are more than a dozen of these pirates in the coastal area, and under normal circumstances, these pirate groups are safe with each other, and their nests are located in the reef-lined archipelago.
In this world, it is not easy to be a pirate king, at least one sea area must be annexed, and the undefeated pirate leader is qualified to be called the pirate king, this guy is so ambitious!
"Yes, at first, everyone laughed, but Waldvan is said to have the strength of a level 8 warrior, and he is constantly swallowing up other pirates, even our captain has accepted a letter and a token?"
"Oh, letters and tokens?" said Romon for a moment, "where are you now?"
"These are all things that Captain Kajuta kept close to him, and although he is dead, there must be one on the body, so I will find them for my lordship. β
"Okay, there you go!" Roman's attitude changed a little towards this man.
To go to sea, you must have skilled sailors, although these pirates are pirates, but it is undeniable that these people are high-class sailors, and Romon suddenly thought about it.
This is compared to the pirate after he went out, not much time, and when he returned, he humbly said, "My lord, I found it." β
A letter, already covered in blood, couldn't see anything clearly, Romon frowned, barely recognized it, and found that there was indeed a "...... on it Unification...... Hegemony...... Pirate King", sneered, but at this moment, a word fell on his eyes - the Iron Throne!
After careful identification, there was a word "glory" behind it, the glory of the Iron King's seat, and Luo Meng thought about the meaning, and his face changed slightly.
Without saying anything, he took the token, which was an iron-clad ship with a crown on it.
It wasn't supposed to be anything, it was just associated with the Iron Throne, which was a little reminiscent, but at that moment, there was a knock on the door, and it was Ernaux and Sukar who entered.
"Baron Tertasho, Ernaux is here to help!" said Ernaux with a bow.
Becoming the captain of the Baron's Town, although it is not a good encounter, is also a rare opportunity, and this appreciation cannot be missed.
Became a baron, with great power in his hands, and a wide territory, and sure enough, the spirit of the king is successful, a little appreciation, there are a lot of people who ask for support, Luo Meng deeply understands that the spirit of the king does exist, and how to get it.
Think about yourself, if on the earth, a mayor appreciates, he will be flattered, and immediately come forward to ask for support!
Most people suffer from the fact that they can't get it.
"Ernaux, then you will be the captain of my town from now on, according to my establishment, the number of people is even you, neither can be expanded at will, nor can the number of people be reduced, at the beginning of each month, regular salary, if there is meritorious service, reward the accumulation of fields, understand?" said Romon.
"Yes, my lord, we all understand. Ernaux's expression became more meek.
"Since you are all my subjects, let's just say that this town, I will demolish all of them, whether it is a house or a wharf, I will ask the scholars in the city to cooperate and re-plan it, so as to turn this place into a prosperous port with room for development. Romon seemed to forget about the Corbi pirates, and said, "There are still a few days left before the New Year this year, and three days after the New Year, I will move people to build them, and you must do a good job." β
Seeing that the two of them bowed their heads, Luo Meng had already smelled the fragrance at this time, and said, "You go out first, and I will come out later." β
"Yes!" the two withdrew.
At this time, the Kirby pirate was stunned and looked at RomΓ³n: "You are Baron Tetasho?"
A lord who owns hundreds of square kilometers of private ownership is definitely more powerful than a county magistrate (county party secretary) on the earth, and although a county has thousands, or even 2,000 square kilometers, these do not belong to them.
Hundreds of square kilometers of land owned by himself, his power and power are not insignificant, but it was the first time that the pirate had seen such a high-ranking hereditary nobleman, and he suddenly shouted violently: "Lord Baron, I beg you to accept me as a servant!"
"If you want me to accept you as a servant, it's not okay, I'm going to build a fleet now, do you have the ability to take care of this?" Luo Meng sneered and said: "Be a captain first, let me see your ability." β
"I'm the captain?" was a surprise to the pirate, who had been on the ship for seven or eight years, but had never even been a third officer.
"Why, you don't have the ability? Why are you my servant?"
"Lord Baron, as long as you support me, I can be the captain!" Thinking about it, the thought of taking refuge in a baron, and from then on, the thought of glory and wealth was full of comparable hearts: "I know that some of the captives will not impress you...... They are a scourge to you. β
Hey, this pirate is really interesting, Romon nodded, and said: "Okay, I'll give you the right to take the pirate captives, let you be the pirate captive captain first, and when you pick someone after the New Year, I'll give you a boat!"
