Chapter 363: Maturity (I)

At noon, Che Du was exposed to the hot Yang Xian, and five old carriages appeared on the road outside Yuanfan Town.

Climbing to the top of the hill, you can see Yuanfan Town in the distance, and several carriages have stopped.

Shakat got out of the carriage, stood on the hill, and looked up.

To the southeast is a beach full of white sand, and a walled city divides three piers to the left and right, which are very wide enough to accommodate ships of 1,000 tons.

It can be seen that on the east pier, there are several boats parked, and if you carefully identify them, there are seven boats.

On the wharf of the workshop, there are a few ships parked, which are obviously merchant ships.

On the dock to the south, more than a dozen ships docked, which is said to be the Royal Fourth Fleet brought by Count Husenya.

"Captain, this place is not bad!" A Middle Eastern man came up and looked down, with a happy expression on his face: "I heard that your territory is here?"

"There, Hasse!" Shakat took a deep breath and pointed to a field outside the town walls that had been cultivated.

"See, it's in the fence, it's a big piece. Ah, there's wheat in there!" Three more middle-aged people came up and looked at the land, and their faces showed happy smiles.

"Aika, Flynn, Watano!" Shakat muttered silently, a deep sense of guilt in his heart.

Fifteen years ago, they were all capable young men, and now, they are all middle-aged, and some of them, between the strands of hair, already have white spots.

When I followed myself, I didn't get anything.

Fifteen years of joint struggle, how many difficulties, but as soon as they were called, they immediately followed

This. No matter what, we can't let them down.

Shakat clenched his fist violently, his nails digging into his flesh

When he was young, he was high-spirited, and he withdrew with a clap. The result is a large number of guys who follow themselves. There is no way out, the dead die, the sick sick, the go. Whenever he thinks of this, he is already middle-aged, and that indescribable guilt emerges.

"Let's go, let's go to the territory first, and then to the fleet!" Shakat said with a wave of his hand, pausing to think about it.

And every man got into the wagon, and with a wave of his whip, the wagon went down.

When they arrived at the checkpoint, soldiers came to intercept and inspect.

"I'm Shakat, and I'm here on the orders of my lord. Shaqachhai showed the letter of appointment.

"Ahh I'll invite you in, and Lord Sukar is waiting for you at the port council. "A squad leader of soldiers. One checked. He immediately said with a smile.

Apparently. The territory has already been announced.

This attitude made Shakat's heart more stable, and he smiled a little reservedly.

The port is still under construction, and the workers are busy, but it is clear that it is time to harvest the wheat. There are not many workers.

But the main road has been basically cleared. The square has also been built, and now there are no sculptures or fountains on the square, while around the square, the government hall and the port barracks, have been built.

Out of habit, Shakat first looked at the port barracks, which was already building a wall, but there were still a few places that had not been built, so it could be seen. There were quite a few uniformly dressed warriors in and out of it.

When they arrived at the gate of the government hall, there was a group of soldiers guarding, and after a little negotiation, Shakat walked in

The main building of the government hall is a three-story wooden building, and the Shakat net enters the gate. Then I saw a person greet me: "You are Shakat?

"You're Knight Sukar, it's an honor to meet you!" Shakat hurriedly saluted.

Sukar is a knight and mayor of the town, and his position is above him.

No, Sokal was knighted and had his own land, but he also received a salary for the position of mayor.

"No need to be polite, Mr. Shakat, you are here to hand over the territory, please come in, I'm all ready. Just wait for your appointment paperwork to arrive. ”

"Oh. Thank you very much!" Shakat said, and the straightforwardness of the other party made him very impressed at first.

Inside, there is the general office, and there are already several hired personnel working.

Shakat knew that many of them were the children of the ruined nobles in this demonic disaster. They have read books and will calculate. It's not really hard to find a job.

The only thing that surprised him a little was that on the left side of the hall, there was a room with the sign of the god of order on the door, and a room opposite was the mark of the goddess of commerce.

"There is a great deal of business coming and going from the port, and many of them are notarized by the great goddess of commerce and the god of order. Therefore, in order to make the work smooth, we invited two pastors to work in the government hall. When Sukar saw his expression, he knew what was going on, and explained.

"Oh. It's a lot easier to work this way, and you're really a knowledgeable and well-versed person in politics. Shakat said complimentally.

"Oh. It's the lord's idea, I'm just carrying it out. But practically, it's a lot more convenient. Sukar said, stepping into the middle desk.

Shakat handed over the two documents.

Since he had already been informed, Sukar just looked at it and began to carry out the procedure.

Then. Several staff members stepped forward. In front of everyone's eyes, he opened the two documents and took them out, carefully and meticulously appraised them, and after the appraisal was completed, he took out the three documents, plus the exact same words.

He asked about all the personal details of Shakat and added them.

Time passed little by little, and at last everything that was to be recorded was recorded, and it was confirmed that there were no mistakes, and the clerk signed his name ten, gave it to Sukasukar to read carefully, signed his name on it, and stamped it with the seal of the mayor. All three are the same.

"Almost, you can take him yourself and give it to the priest of the God of Order. Sukar said.

Shakat didn't dare to slack off, and took it in himself.

The room is very spacious and has a fireplace. Of course, there is no need at this time, a large office, and bookshelves.

At the time of the face is a priest, and behind the priest is the coat of arms of the god of order.

Although Shakat is not a believer in the God of Order, he first bows to the God's coat of arms.

The priest kept a straight face, not saying a word, but it was clear that his eyes softened.

"Pastor, I have come to ask for the witness of the great God of Order. Shakat broke the silence. Then bow to the pastor.

"It is my duty, sir, to show me the notarized papers!" replied the priest.

The papers were handed in, and the priest prayed in a low voice. Start the file.

Whoever preaches at this time is equal to God. Therefore, notarization has an authority that no mortal can question.

For a moment, the two of them were silent, and the office became unusually quiet.

Moment. When the priest finished, he broke the silence: "The formalities are all complete, but I would like to ask you, Shakate, that you accept the appointment and the title of Baron Titashau, and will you accept his authority and order?" ”

"Yes, I would like to.

"God is witnessing, as you say. The priest said dryly, and he began to sign, and ordinary people could not see a trace of holy power, so it was condensed in the handwriting.

"May you give God twenty gold coins. "That's a lot of money, but Shakat gritted his teeth.

"Yes. May God bless you. The priest said, handing over the completed paperwork to Shakat, and from that moment on, legally, Shakat was in charge of the military and became Romon's servant.

After thanking him, Shakat took back the paperwork, bowed, and stepped forward to open the door and go out

When he got outside, Sukar was still in the office, but he also said with a smile: "Congratulations, four hundred and fifty acres outside the town." This will be handed over to you, but four hundred and fifty acres of land, and wheat, now belong to you, do you need me to send someone to help you harvest?"

"Mayor Town, no, I still have a group of people who can complete it. Shakat said, four hundred and fifty acres of wheat, which is undoubtedly a large amount of grain. It can solve a big problem, and he can't help but thank Romon for his thoughtfulness.

"Well" That's fine, I'll send someone to officially give you this land. A week is enough to complete your home, right?" Sukar asked.

"Three days will be enough, Lord Mayor!" said Shakat "In three days, I will take up my post in the Navy."

"Very good". Sukar stopped talking and watched him leave.

A clerk took Shaka out and handed over the territory, and when he arrived at the land, a large golden wheat field, and the small building in the wheat field, suddenly reflected his visual nerves, and for a moment, he couldn't help but have a feeling of red eyes, "For a long time, he exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, he knew." I'm home.

As long as you have this territory, you will be considered dead. The family can also continue.

This is also the intention of the lord, to get rid of worries.

"Lord Shakat, this is your territory, and along with this small building, of course, it is not safe now. You can harvest and live in the town, and your men, preferably tomorrow, will have to register as well. "It's a kind reminder. Shakat woke up, and he nodded in thanks. And took out a gold coin, which was the clerk smiled even more.

As soon as the clerk left, Shakat immediately shouted at the top of his voice, "Hasse, Aika, Flynn, Vattano!"

"Yes, Captain!" the four replied as they had done then, in high spirits and without hesitation.

"Each of you should first row twenty-five acres of land, and build your own wooden house to settle down, I heard that there are workers in the town who specialize in building wooden houses, and besides, the ladies will live in my small building first, and the old fellows from the past, all who can come will be called, and they will catch up tonight, and we will start harvesting together, and then get on the boat!" Shakat shouted spiritedly: "Each of you, at least the captain of a boat, this is the lord's permission, do well, we are the best."

"Yes. Captain, we are always ready to get on the boat!" the four of them responded, already middle-aged, and when they said that they got on the boat, they unconsciously burst into tears in front of their wives and children.

It's been more than ten years, and I thought I would have to fight for a lifetime, but I didn't expect that there would be this opportunity.

In a haze, the man in front of him seemed to have turned into a heroic green with the passage of time

At that time, he was so energetic that he had the bold idea of clearing the sea with just one sailboat, and everyone was impressed by it, and it changed from one boat to eight boats.

At the height of his glory, a nobleman's order caused him to leave his post in anger and give up everything.

Then. Wiping away his tears, the youth in front of him faded away. There was only one middle-aged man, but the hearts of the four people settled down.

Shakat has a lot of net Yi in his eyes, and there is a trace of domineering.

Shakat didn't speak again, he clenched his fists, fifteen years of running together, so that he would never let go easily.

Those who understand no longer give up, this is maturity, or persistence.
