Maria's clever words made Tang Jie sigh in his heart, and said to Maria and Agatha with a smile: "You two talk carefully, I still have some other things to do." ”

Maria and Agatha turned their heads at the same time and looked at Tang Jie in confusion: "Is there anything more important than this matter in front of you?"

Tang Jie smiled and said, "Of course, for example, while finding yourself a good pair of eyes, good ears, and a good nose, you can find a way to make your body stronger." ”

As he spoke, Tang Jie was already walking towards the door.

Agatha and Maria glanced at each other, smiled at the same time, and did not pester Tang Jie again with understanding.

Judging from the current situation, although Tang Jie looks like a big shopkeeper, in fact, his pressure is the greatest, this group, this force, he is the figure on the cusp of the limelight, he is different from the leaders of other power groups, he can always hide behind the scenes and manipulate.

Tang Jie is famous for his bravery, but also started with fighting, once there is a war or battle, it is natural to be at the forefront, when there is no war and battle, he not only has to develop and expand his own forces, control the development direction of the group's forces, but also take time out in his leisure time, and constantly strengthen his strength, at the same time, he also has to coordinate the delicate balance of the forces in his group.

As far as the situation just now, if Tang Jie was not present, who knows what the talks between Maria and Agatha will be.

Men behave differently in the same situation with beautiful women and without beautiful women, and the same is true for women, when there are men, they often have scruples about what they say and do.

After coming out of the room, Tang Jie rubbed his temples, he had a headache about all the tedious things on Alcatraz Island now.

Not only the establishment of the intelligence network, but also all kinds of other tedious matters need to be paid attention to.

For example, recently Nia has been working on the problem of building a fleet in person.

The establishment of a fleet is completely different from the situation of only a few ships in the past, and the first thing that is determined is the problem of the system, because the establishment of the fleet shows that these pirates are no longer simply relying on robberies and wandering sea bandits in the past, they have changed from wandering robbers to warriors fixed in a military fortress, and they are more like a big warlord body on the sea.

When the robbers become warriors, what restricts them is no longer a simple financial stimulus, but more rely on military law, and Alcatraz Island is completely blank in this area.

Even those old people who followed Tang Jie from scratch didn't expect that they, hate pirates, would one day become part of a fleet?

First of all, the commander of the fleet must make sure that Tang Jie has no suspense in his position, and there is no doubt that the first mate of the flagship is served by Nia, and there is no doubt about it, but who is the second officer of the flagship? Who are the captains, first mates, and second officers of other warships? Who is the law enforcement officer of the fleet? Who is the quartermaster? Who is the chief gunner? Who is the captain of hand-to-hand combat? Who is the chief sailor?

This is equivalent to a small army position system, Tang Jie's old subordinates want to occupy as many of these positions as possible, the Dada tribe and the tribes of the Southern Continent who are gradually taking root on Alcatraz Island also want to get a share of the various important positions in this emerging fleet, and the Clumbel family, which has recently formed an alliance with Tang Jie, is even more important, this new powerful ally not only controls a certain number of warships himself, but also sets his sights on Tang Jie's fleet.

This is a headache for Tang Jie, how to better balance the forces of all parties while ensuring combat effectiveness?

Just thinking about it, Tang Jie felt that his head was as big as a fight, and he suddenly missed the carefree days when he only had one ship.

Tang Jie suddenly understood, why did almost none of the kings or emperors of various countries in this world, and the heads of various families, be called top powerhouses?

Because when they ascended to that position, they were surrounded by countless tedious things, where did they get the time to continue to pursue tirelessly in the martial arts?

Since Tang Jie returned to Alcatraz Island, it was already a luxury for him to be able to practice martial arts for two hours a day, and in such a situation, it was already a great luck to maintain his fighting level without retreating.

"It's not okay to go on like this......" Tang Jie smiled bitterly, and said to himself, "You still need to be hard to strike iron, if you are not strong, then everything here is floating clouds!"

Tang Jie thought of the Devourer at the bottom of the sea, the terrifying demonic beast, and the incredible amount of treasure and two terrifying artifacts in its belly, the Seagod Armor and Tira's Tears.

"If you can have the Seagod armor and the tears of Tira, your strength can indeed improve by leaps and bounds, and you will be the boss. Tang Jie couldn't help but think.

But as soon as his thoughts flashed, he remembered what Octavir had said to him: "You can't become a top powerhouse just by relying on artifacts!"

Tang Jie's heart suddenly sank, he knew that the artifact of the sea god Tira had made him taste too much sweetness, so that he had developed the habit of relying on these artifacts.

This is an absolutely fatal habit of mind.

It seems that he is going to concentrate on martial arts a little more.

Tang Jie was thinking about it wholeheartedly, when he suddenly turned and passed through the corridor, he suddenly bumped into a person in his arms.

"Ouch......" a girl muttered and sat down on the ground.

Tang Jie came back to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to help the girl up.

This girl was wearing an ordinary maid's suit, and when she raised her eyes to see Tang Jie, a strange color flashed in her eyes, but she quickly lowered her head, her chin was tightly pressed against her chest, and her body trembled slightly.

Seeing Tang Jie coming over to help herself, she quickly stood up, lowered her head, and wanted to pass by Tang Jie's side.

Tang Jie saw that the girl looked really shy, so he didn't entangle with her much, just smiled apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to it just now, you didn't fall anywhere, right?"

The girl shook her head quickly and walked away from Tang Jie's side.

Tang Jie watched the girl's slender and delicate figure fly away, and felt that the girl's back was a little familiar for a while, but his mind was not on this at this time, so he didn't think much about it, just shook his head, smiled, walked through the corridor, and walked in the direction of the dwarven craftsman's factory.

Some maids not far from Tang Jie saw this scene and whispered: "Our master is really kind-hearted, he treats maids like us so easy-going, I have never heard of such a kind-hearted noble lord." ”

"Yes, it's the first time I've seen such a kind and easy-to-serve master, my original master is fierce every day, but he doesn't have a good face to people. ”

"Michelle, you chew Lord Yot's tongue behind your back, and see that I don't sue you!"

"Go ahead, come back, and find that there is no place for you here, but don't regret it!"

I have to say that the Clumbell family attaches great importance to Tang Jie, and learned that this man likes beauty, so the maids who sent him out were all beautiful girls who had undergone long-term training, all of them were at the age of the flower season, delicate and smooth, and had a colorful body, not only proficient in the aristocratic etiquette and rules of the upper class, but also possessed charm, and knew how to serve and seduce men.

The girls continued to whisper: "If you don't go, I won't go, this is a good place, can you meet such a kind master like us?

"However, it seems that this lord of our family is not from an aristocratic background. ”

"What if he's not from a noble background?

"Yo, Temir, your young lady hasn't married yet, so you can't wait to go to bed?" After saying this, the maids in the crowd laughed one after another.

The maid named Temir was one of Agatha's closest maids, and it was this girl that Agatha sent to send Tang Jie to Nia.

This girl is also very beautiful, although it is inferior to Agatha, Angel and others, but she is tall, especially the two calves exposed outside the middle skirt, the symmetry and fairness are almost the perfect work of the painting master, and Temir is also affectionately called "Little Deer Temir" in the circle of ladies of the Clumber family, in order to praise Temir's long and straight legs.

Temir is Agatha's personal maid, no matter who Agatha marries in the future, she will marry together as a dowry, and in the future, Agatha will serve her husband, and she will be competent as a personal maid outside the door, even if there is a war inside, shouting to the heavens and the earth, she has to endure it, and when Agatha's husband is still unsatisfied, she will also personally fight hand-to-hand.

The most intimate dowry maid serves her husband, which is the most common thing in the aristocratic high society of the whole world, as a wife not only will not stop, but sometimes will use the young and beautiful maid to win the favor of her husband, so as to consolidate her position.

So Agatha's happiness is Temir's happiness, as Agatha's personal maid, Temir once suffered from gains and losses, but when she saw Tang Jie with her own eyes, she was not only sincerely happy for Agatha's happiness, but also happy for her future.

Agatha's husband will be the man of Temir in the future.

Temir was not less teased by these maids for this.

Although she had completed Agatha's heavy duties alone, she was quite sassy and heroic, but she was teased like this, and her face was very unbearable, so she had to roll her eyes and immediately change the topic: "Don't make fun of me, that maid was called beautiful just now, I just accidentally saw a little bit of her side, the gods are above, I have never seen such a beautiful girl!

"Don't change the subject, can you be prettier than Miss Agatha?"

Temir said with a serious face: "I don't mean to belittle the esteemed Miss Agatha at all, but this girl is definitely more beautiful than I have ever seen!"

"Prettier than Princess Angel?"

Temir thought for a moment and said, "Orchid or rose, which one is more beautiful?

The girls scoffed: "Come on, Temir, she's gone, where are you going?" I don't believe there is a more beautiful woman in this world than Princess Angel. ”

"Why not? I heard that there is a mysterious mermaid on this island, called Octavil, her beauty is the beauty of the country, and the pirate king Athos would rather go to war with the whole world for her anger!"

Speaking of this, the girls were in a trance for a while, and one girl couldn't help but sigh leisurely: "If there is a man who is willing to go to war with the whole world for me, then it will be worth it even if I die immediately......"

As soon as he finished saying this, the girls immediately laughed and scolded: "Just you, stop dreaming!"

The girl was so teased that she threw herself at the girls around her, who screamed and then laughed and scattered around, much to the dismay of the other servants in the castle and the others who came and went.

Unaware that there was such a group of girls talking about him behind him, Tang Jie walked quickly to the cave factory where Thea and Barnes were on the north side of Alcatraz, and he wanted to tell the two dwarven craftsmen some of the things he had in mind when he encountered the Devourer.

Devourers are invincible in the sea, but the Nagas are not, the Nagas have a strong deterrent in the sea, Tang Jie secretly has a hunch: sooner or later, he will clash with the Nagas in the sea.

And this time the Nagas suffered such heavy losses, although none of the Nagas survived in front of the Devourer, and the other Nagas did not necessarily know what was going on, but this kind of thing cannot be left to chance, and it is better to prepare in advance.

The way Tang Jie came up with to compete with the Nagas was mines and deep-sea charges.

In the world of swords and sorcery, alchemy is not as powerful as magic, but it is also quite developed, and it is not an insurmountable problem to create mines that can float on the sea and the most critical touch guide of mines.

After Tang Jie mentioned this to the two dwarves, the two dwarves suddenly stayed in place as if they were petrified, and their eyes were like Wen Taishi in "Romance of the Gods" that Tang Jie had seen before, spewing out three feet of divine light, and after a while, after coming back to his senses, he yelled excitedly, and wanted to put it into practice immediately.

After Tang Jie explained what he had been thinking about, he finally let go of a big stone in his heart.

Now the preparation for the fleet is handled by Nia, Christina, and Bill personally, the establishment of the intelligence network is carried out by Maria and Agatha, the logistics and finance are managed by Angel and Simon for the time being, and the three key departments of a power group, the military system, the internal affairs system, and the intelligence system, are now managed and developed by special personnel, and he can finally take out his hands to concentrate on cultivation.
