The tiger shark was hoisted onto the Dragon Eagle, and the sailors in the chef's room hurriedly plucked the tiger shark's skin. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The remaining tiger shark meat was taken fresh and used to add food to everyone.

Wren was taken to the infirmary due to a thigh injury, where Dr. Hoffman personally medicated and bandaged him.

Lying on the soft and comfortable hospital bed, Wren listened to Dr. Hoffman's scolding while suffering from the pain in his thigh.

But in his heart he felt happiness and joy.

"This is home and family!" Wren, who felt a wave of sleepiness hit him, closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

......

Five days after the shark hunt, the Bruz brothers returned from shore with their men and returned with two golden monkeys in iron cages.

At this time, Wren's leg injury was also carefully cared for by Dr. Hoffman, and he was able to walk with the help of crutches.

Calculated that time was pressing, and Wren could not wait to go ashore in person that night to visit Mr. Bob.

Bob, the old tailor, happened to be instructing his apprentices in the shop, and saw Wren deliver the materials to the door.

He hurriedly instructed the apprentice, and then led Wren and the others to the back of the shop.

Behind the shop is a yard where old Bob lived, and there was nothing special about it, just some flowers and plants that were not famous.

Entering the room in the courtyard, Wren finally saw something that matched the identity of the old tailor.

There are many shelves in the room, some for old Bob's proudest work, some for tailoring tools, and some for wine.

Wren briefly watched Old Bob's work, and began to discuss with Old Bob about making [Tiger Shark Leather Holster].

When Old Bob learned that the tiger shark skin was picked from the tiger shark that Wren had hunted with his own hands, he said that he would give Wren the lowest manual fee.

Wren saw that old Bob was very persistent, and feared that the old tailor would be unhappy if he refused, so he had to agree to pay a minimum labor fee.

In the end, Bob Sr. charged Wren five silver coins for the handiwork, and asked Wren to pick up the [Tiger Shark Leather Holster] a week later.

Since it was too late, after the matter was over, Wren took his leave and left.

......

A week later, Wren brought a case of high-quality blueberry wine prepared in advance.

So I went with Mr. Hofdent to old Bob to get the Tiger Shark holster.

The perfection of the holster stunned Wren.

This holster has the murderous aura of a tiger shark, and it feels very close to the hand when touched.

The thin threads of the golden monkey's hair are evenly and tightly sewn to the edges of the holster, and it looks like a tiger shark's skin, not at all artificial.

"This ...... What a holster!" Mr. Hofdent could not wait to praise it, and in his merchant's eyes he assessed the value of the holster, which was worth at least 100,000 gold coins.

Not only the preciousness of its materials, but also the ingenuity of the old tailors.

If it weren't for Old Bob's craftsmanship, the holsters made of these materials would be worth 10,000 or 20,000 gold coins at most.

After thanking old Bob, Wren gave him the wine and told the old tailor that he was on his way to business.

After the two exchanged treasures, Wren and Mr. Hovdent went to the Governor's Mansion with the [Tiger Shark Leather Holster].

......

The gates of the Doge's Palace were closed, and the walls were so high that it was impossible to see from the outside.

Wren reported his status as Count of the Duchy of Stennis to the waiter at the door, and asked the waiter to help him go in and report.

After the janitor instructed the waiter on the other side to help take care of the post, he went in to help Wren ask for instructions.

An answer was quickly received, and then the janitor politely led the two to a large lawn with a lake.

There is a barbecue and rest shed on the lawn, where visitors are already waiting, and after the waiter hands them over to the waiter in charge of reception in the shed,

I went back alone in the direction of the gate.

Due to the presence of other visitors, the waiting time was relatively long, and in his boredom, Wren looked at the situation of the Governor's Palace curiously.

The Doge's Palace is quite wide, with green meadows and lakes as crystal clear as agate.

There was also a farm with a row of houses that could be identified as having stables and pigsties.

On the farm, many crops are grown, and the water for irrigation is transported from the lake by a water truck.

In addition to the farmhouse that Wren found interesting, behind the tall fort was a forest farm.

It should be the backyard of the Governor's Palace, where you can clearly see the birds and beasts walking leisurely in the forest, and this forest farm is probably also a private hunting ground.

Wren also noticed that in front of the woodyard, which was blocked by the castle, there was a small military camp, which was supposed to be stationed for a long time to protect the governor's palace.

Studying the chic style of the Doge's Palace, time passes imperceptibly.

Finally, it was Wren's turn, but they couldn't meet the governor directly, they had to pass the governor's steward first.

Facing the young butler in a lean black tuxedo, Wren introduced himself again, and then presented the gift to the butler.

The butler really had a unique eye, and he could see at a glance that the gift was good, and he must have known his master's preferences very well.

He smiled and accepted the gift, and then asked Wren and them to wait, and then he hurried back to the castle.

This time it didn't take long for the butler to come out and bring the two of them into the castle.

The look on the steward's face, the Governor must have liked the gift they gave very much.

Walk through the soldiers' outer fort and enter the inner fort where the Governor lives, where many men and women are busy.

Anxious to meet the governor, Wren had no intention of taking a closer look at the castle's lavish decorations.

They followed the butler to the governor's parlor, and after a short wait, the governor came in through the door with his valet.

"I'm sorry! I've kept you waiting, Count Wren, just now on business. As soon as the Governor entered, he politely apologized to the two of them first.

Wren looked at the young governor in front of him, who was not much older than him, with his pale blonde curly hair over a shawl, and a handsome and straight figure.

The whole person does not have that kind of impressive momentum, but it makes people feel that he is the kind of resolute person who does what he says.

Of course, Wren was also polite to the other party, and he didn't mention the gifts, and directly confessed his request to the Governor.

When the Governor heard that he was going to let the armed merchant ships into the port, his face seemed to be a little embarrassed.

He bit his lower lip and finally said to Wren: "Although I have the right to approve your entry into the port alone, this is an order issued by the Empire after all. I'm afraid that others will say something bad about me. “

Wren nodded in understanding, but he didn't misunderstand what the Governor meant.

Since the other party said that he could approve it alone, it means that he wants to promote this matter.

So he hurriedly asked, "Then is there any good way for us to enter the port legally and openly?" ”

The Governor was glad that Wren understood what he meant, and he asked the valet to pour wine for everyone.

Then he said to Wren: "Since you are a merchant ship, it means that you are merchants.

If you can invest a certain amount of money in the development of the port, then you can become a legal resident. ”

Wren raised his eyebrows happily when he heard the Governor say this, "You mean that then we can become legal citizens of the United Empire of Rice Eagles?"

"Hahaha! That's right! Imperial decrees greatly encourage capable merchants to become our legal citizens. ”

The Doge looked rather pleased, not only by the effect on the holster, but also by the ease with which Wren could follow his train of thought.

"That's a pretty good decree!" Wren praised without hesitation, he wished he had such an identity,

Convenient for him to walk in the United Empire of Rice Eagle.

However, he did not forget a key question: "Your Excellency the Governor, if I want to become a legal citizen of your country, how much do I need to invest?"

The Governor stretched out a finger of his left hand and said, "As long as you invest at least 100,000 gold coins at one time, you can become a legal citizen of the empire, Count Rennes." ”

100,000 gold coins!!

Wren was shocked, but he didn't show it, and he still kept a smile on his face.

He nodded his head to indicate that he understood, and then turned his head to whisper to Mr. Hoofdent, "Mr. Hofddent, how many gold coins do we have now?"

Mr. Hofdent had been prepared, and he replied in a low voice, "Sir, we have a savings of two hundred and fifty thousand gold coins. ”

So much?!

Wren was surprised to hear Mr. Hoofdent's answer.

He had always left the financial report to Mr. Hovdent at ease, and when he first set sail from the Wing Empire,

They only had more than 30,000 gold coins.

At the beginning, it was already very remarkable that he could earn 100,000 yuan, but he didn't expect to earn 250,000 yuan.

Wren lamented that he knew too little about the world of merchants and underestimated Mr. Hoofdent's abilities.

Since he had a savings of 250,000 yuan, Wren's confidence in his heart was greatly increased, and he smiled even brighter at the Governor: "Your Excellency, I very much want to become a legal citizen of your country, I will invest 100,000 gold coins first. ”

"Hahaha! The Count of Wren is so generous, and if so, I'll give you a permit to enter the harbor tonight. The Governor shook Wren's hand happily, and he beckoned to the valet.

The manservant hurriedly brought the prepared champagne and filled all three glasses.

The Governor took two glasses from the silver tray held by the valet, one for Wren and one for Mr. Hovdent.

Finally keeping the last glass on the silver tray for himself, and taking the wine in his hand, the Count continued to say to Wren: "Let's have a drink together!"

I will ask my subordinates to help you get the formalities of Imperial citizenship. ”

"I'm glad you helped, Your Excellency. Cheers to the prosperity of your harbor!" Wren toasted to the Governor.

The Governor clinked glasses to Wren happily: "Thank you! Thank you for contributing to the prosperity of the harbor! ”
