Chapter 667: Shipbuilding (I)

Starr has been on this sea ship for half a month.

Looking at the vast sea, he felt a little panicked in his heart, so that he couldn't stay in his room, and he always came out to hang out.

The sailors on deck, and did not stop. Let him spin.

On deck, the captain was a middle-aged man with a disheveled head and a tousled beard, and his face was rough and wrinkled, but he couldn't hide his cold eyes.

Star shuddered. I didn't dare to continue spinning, so I retreated to the corner and observed.

Sta has reached the present. I didn't know what was going on, and I didn't know why I came to sea. How could such a strange thing happen!

He was originally a shipbuilder in the hinterland. Half a month ago, as usual, he went home for dinner, but was suddenly attacked on the way. When I woke up, I was already in this big boat

Let him settle down a little, it is the people on the ship, although they are relatively cold, but they are a little polite, and there are other people with the same status in the cabin.

And, the honorable young lady, always with a pleasant face.

"Mr. Star, aren't you sleeping?" A gentle female voice suddenly came from behind him, and Star, who was over thirty years old, turned his head suddenly, and saw that it was the kind young lady, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss Invisi, with all due respect, I really don't have anything to help you, I'm just a commoner and I'm just cautiously explaining.

It had almost become his spoken word. He hoped that one day, he would suddenly be able to move these people on the boat and let him go home.

"Mr. Star, don't be nervous, you can do what we ask you to help with. It's cool outside, so let's go back and rest!" said Avisie, smiling at him.

"Okay". Star sighed and turned to enter the cabin.

Avisy stood on the deck, looking out at the vast sea.

"Hope Island, what are you going to do this time? She muttered to herself, somewhat confused.

She had just returned from the Shadows and received this assignment again, albeit as a member of Hope Island. But Avisy doesn't have access to the island's deep secrets.

This is all a matter decided by Her Highness and the elders, and the fate of the elves is not in her hands.

Shaking his head and sighing faintly, Avisy also walked into the cabin.

This was followed by a long sea journey.

After a period of contact, the relationship between Star and the crew has remained in a good state.

Some things that he hadn't asked before, he gradually knew.

The destination of this trip is a large island, and on that island, there are all legendary races and other humans who are not allowed by the mainland.

Secondly, Star was sure that his identity was safe. It is known that the reason why he was hijacked on the ship this time is because of his shipbuilding skills.

Although the other party did not elaborate, he also understood that the island must be preparing to build ships, so it needs technical personnel in this area.

At the same time, he also knew, in addition to him, on this ship. There are still some people in custody, but they are not as lucky as him. Because they are all people who refuse to cooperate, and they do not have the freedom of his.

"Hope for Wu?" from those mouths. Star hears the name occasionally.

It was a very strange island to him, and he was curious about what kind of existence this island would be in the middle of the sea!

However, he never asked Miss Avisie. The young lady gave him a very gentle feeling. But he also has another strange feeling, that is, when facing this young lady, he will feel a kind of pressure.

The ship Starr was on was not in his professional eyes, but it was at best a mid-class cargo.

That is to say, under normal circumstances, it can pass through some wind and waves, and if it is really a large-scale battle, the service life will not be too long.

If it's only used as a merchant ship, it's still very good.

Star is good at building sturdy and durable warships that are most used in combat vehicles, and since he knew that he had been hijacked to build ships, Star had already guessed which kind of ships he would build.

"Hope Island, what kind of place is it, and what is it to build a warship?" he sometimes pondered and pondered.

However, he is not a nobleman, let alone an official with a duty and mission, he is just an ordinary craftsman with craftsmanship, these things. He only thought about it once in a while, and didn't take it too seriously.

As long as he can save his life and his family's life, it is enough for him.

"Mr. Starr, it's time to eat. Behind him came the voice of a sailor.

Star turned around and entered the cabin without looking back.

These days, the life lived on the ship. Even better than what he had been on land before.

Three meals a day, exactly the same as the sailor's meal.

Star suddenly thought: Perhaps, Miss Avisy is right, instead of working as a craftsman for the nobles on the continent and living an inferior life every day, it is better to start a new life in another place. Because of the busyness and hardships of life, he still lives alone, and Miss Evessie even promised him that it would not be impossible for him to be rewarded with a beautiful bride as long as he could work well on the island in the future.

"As long as she is a kind woman, she can give me a few children, sew and mend ...". Live. I was satisfied that he had swallowed bread, and had secretly cast it off

Their ship, in the wind of the sea. degrees are getting faster and faster.

The crew began to say that their second destination was approaching.

Where is the destination? Naturally, it's the island of hope.

In the past few days, the mood of the crew has become very good. Even with it, some people who have not been released before will occasionally come out to let off wind in the surveillance.

Star didn't have much contact with them. He was once a slave, but now he has acquired civilian status. It's still at the lowest level. Now that I have been brought here, the future is bright.

Unlike the others, they already have a good position, and they all have relatives and friends in the hinterland, and they are reluctant. to an isolated island in the sea.

After another two days of sailing, a large island finally appeared in front of Star.

"It's such a big island, you can't see the edge of it, is this really an island?" said Star in amazement as she got closer to the island.

"Mr. Starr, this is Hope Island. At some point, Miss Avisy had already walked beside him.

Star said with emotion: "This island is really big, do you really need me here?"

"Yes, Mr. Starr, your talents. It will be used to the maximum extent here, so please rest assured that the island of hope will not be disadvantaged to those who have made meritorious contributions. Avisy said with a smile.

At this time, the island was already close at hand, and there were patrols on the shore, and when they saw that they had returned, they were allowed to dock after the code.

"Mr. Starr, please get off the boat. By the time Star had come to his senses, Miss Avisy had already greeted him from the shore.

The treatment he received was a good one, at least, he disembarked of the boat himself, and went to an inn accompanied by Miss Avissie.

How the others were brought ashore, Star didn't know, he was completely mesmerized by the island in front of him.

The previous port had not yet brought him back to his senses, and the city he saw next surprised him even more, at this time, it was very dark, and there was only a very faint light.

However, it is still possible to see the city clearly.

The city is surrounded by hills and is a natural harbor.

At first glance, the city doesn't look like Starr's mind has oil-stained docks. Low, dilapidated warehouses, garbage and excrement are everywhere on the roadside, crowded streets.

On the contrary, there are newly built roads on the pier. There are tall, sturdy warehouses with no garbage or excrement on the ground, and the streets are wide and neat a little farther away.

"Miss Avisie, you have arrived at the right time. After a while, it's curfew. "A patrol captain. greeted him and said.

"Well, lead the way, to the Forest House. ”

"Yes, Miss!" the soldier led the way.

"It's a big city festival.

Star said in surprise.

"This is a port city, and it's also the capital of the kingdom, and it's just been built!" said Avisi flatly.

"It's amazing. Star muttered.

It is not trivial to build such a big city in the center of the sea.

"It's been five years, and there were originally only 8,000 pirates and 1,000 women here, but after five years, through the absorption of displaced people, most of the original pirates have married wives, owned land and houses, and lived happily ever after. ”

The rest of the displaced people also formed families, reclaimed the land, and the new kingdom was full of life. Avisy said respectfully, "They all believe in the great Anion and thank it for its happiness." ”

In five years, the population of this kingdom has expanded to 80,000 people, which is the strength brought about by five years of tireless smuggling and transportation.

"But in order to preserve our lives, we must build a strong navy. ”

"I heard, you're a student of Master Ernaux?"

"Yes, I'm a student of Master Ernaux, it's just that I'm from a humble background," Star suddenly realized, knowing why she had been "invited" over.

Master Ernaux is a well-known shipbuilder on the continent, and he is extremely courteous, and of course it is difficult for such a person to grab it.

Starr was originally the son of Nuji, and since he was a child, he was involved in the shipbuilding business at an early age due to his childhood following shipbuilders and living in a shipyard, and at the age of fourteen. Because of his silent learning and literacy, he was favored by the master of Ernaux at that time and became a servant.

From the age of fourteen to twenty-eight, he studied and worked silently, and became the most talented shipbuilder, but he was not valued because of his humble background.

At the age of twenty-eight, Master Ernaux finally removed his slavery status and became a freedman, of course. He must also continue to work for the master.

In just two years, his fame spread. This year's events brought in.

Starr was repenting when she heard Avissy say, "Mr. Starr, tomorrow His Majesty will receive you and appoint you as a shipbuilder. These people are at your disposal, and if anyone disobeys the order, you have the right to punish and even kill. ”

After a pause, he said, "If you build the ship." is the finest ship, and you may even earn the title of master, managing the entire shipbuilding industry. ”

As soon as he said this, Star couldn't help but jump straight up, and in an instant, he understood that his opportunity had arrived. (To be continued)
