Chapter 363 Maturity (Part 1)
It just passed noon and everything was exposed to the hot sun.
Five old carriages appeared on the road outside Yuanfan Town.
When I climbed to the top of the hills, I could see Yuanfan Town from afar, and several carriages stopped.
Shakater got off the carriage, stood on the hills, and looked up.
The southeast is a beach filled with white sand, and a city wall divides three piers from left to right. This pier is very wide and can be docked with a thousand-ton ship.
You can see that there were several ships parked at the pier to the east. After carefully identifying them, they were seven ships.
There were a few ships parked on the dock in the middle, which seemed to be merchant ships.
On the pier to the south, dozens of ships docked, which is said to be the Fourth Fleet of the Royal Family brought by Earl Xiusenya.
"Captain, the place here is pretty good!" A middle-aged man came up and looked down with a happy expression on his face: "I heard that your territory is here?"
"There is there, Hass!" Shakat took a deep breath and pointed to a land that had been reclaimed outside the town wall.
"I saw it. It was in the fence, and it was such a large area. Ah, there was still wheat inside!" Three middle-aged people came up and looked at the land. A happy smile appeared on their faces.
"Aika, Flynn, Vatano!" Shakat thought silently, and a strong sense of guilt emerged in his heart.
Fifteen years ago, they were all capable young men, but now they are all middle-aged. Some people have white spots between their hair.
After following me, I got nothing.
Fifteen years of wasted time and hardships, but as soon as they called them, they immediately followed.
This time, no matter what, they cannot be disappointed.
Shakater clenched his fist and his nails pierced into the flesh.
When he was young, he acted impulsively and clapped his hands and retreated. As a result, a large number of friends who followed him had no way out, died, sick, and went. Whenever he thought of these, he, who was already middle-aged, felt guilt that was indescribable.
"Let's go, let's go to the territory first, and then go to the fleet!" Shakater stopped thinking and waved his hand.
Everyone got on the carriage, waved the whip, and the carriage went down.
When we arrived at the level, soldiers came to intercept and inspect.
"I am Shakat, come on the order of Lord Lord." Shakat showed his appointment letter.
"Ah, are you Lord Shakat? I'll invite you in now. Lord Sukal is waiting for you in the Port Government Affairs Office." A soldier squad leader immediately smiled as soon as he checked.
Obviously, the territory has been notified.
This attitude made Shakater's heart more calm, and he smiled with some reserve.
The port is still working, and the workers are busy, but it is obvious that there are not many workers because it is time to harvest wheat.
However, the main avenue has been basically cleared out and the square has been built. There are no sculptures or fountains in the square yet. Around the square, the government affairs department and the port military camp have been built.
Out of habit, Shakater first looked at the port barracks. This barracks were already building walls, but there were still several places that had not been built, so it can be seen that there were many soldiers wearing uniformly organized soldiers entering and leaving.
When they arrived at the gate of the Government Affairs Hall, a group of soldiers were guarding. After a little negotiation, Shakat walked in.
The main building of the Government Affairs Department is a three-story wooden building. As soon as Shakater entered the gate, he saw someone greeting him: "Are you Shakater? Welcome!"
"Are you the Knight Sukar? It's honor to see you!" Shakater quickly saluted.
Sukar is a knight and mayor, and his status is above him.
I have to say that Sukar was granted the title of Knight and had his own land, but he also received a salary for the position of mayor.
"No need to be polite, Mr. Shakater, you are here to deliver the territory. Please come in. I'm ready, just waiting for your appointment document to arrive."
"Oh, thank you very much!" Shakat said, the other party's straightforwardness made him very fond of it.
When I got inside, I was in the General Office, and there were already several hired personnel working.
Shakat knew that many of them were the children of the ruined nobles in this magic disaster. They had studied and knew how to calculate, and it was not difficult to find a job.
The only thing that surprised him was that there was a room on the left side of the hall, with the mark of the God of Order on the door, and the room opposite was the mark of the Goddess of Business.
"There are many businesses coming and going to the port, and many businesses require notarization of the great Goddess of Business and the God of Order. Therefore, in order to smooth the work, we invited two priests to work in the Government Affairs Office." Seeing his expression, Sukal knew about this and explained.
"Oh, this kind of office is indeed much more convenient. You are really a knowledgeable and proficient in politics." Shakater said complimentingly.
"Oh, this is the lord's idea. I'm just implementing it, but it's really convenient to be realistic." Sukal said, entering the middle desk.
Shakater delivered the two documents.
Since she had already received the notification, Sukal just looked at it and started executing the program.
At this time, several staff members immediately stepped forward, opened two documents and took them out in front of everyone, and carefully identified them. After the identification, they took out three documents and added the same words.
He also asked about all the personal details of Shakater and added them.
Time passed little by little, and finally everything to be recorded was recorded and confirmed to be correct. The staff signed his name and handed it over to Sukal.
Sukal read it carefully, signed his name on it, and stamped another mayor's seal, and the three copies were the same.
"It's almost done, just take him yourself and hand it over to the priest of the God of Order." Sukal said.
Shakater dared not neglect and took it in himself.
The room here is very wide and has a fireplace. Of course, there is no need for this, a large office and bookshelf.
Opposite is a priest, behind the priest is the badge of the God of Order.
Although Shakat is not a believer of the God of Order, he saluted to God's badge first.
The priest had a stern face and said nothing, but it was obvious that his eyes were softer.
"Pastor, I am here to be a testimony to the great God of Order." Shakat broke the silence and saluted the priest again.
"This is my responsibility. Sir, please show the documents to be notarized!" the pastor replied.
After handing over the documents, the priest prayed in a low voice and began to read the documents.
Anything that the pastor reads at this time is equivalent to God's reading, so notarization has the authority that mortals cannot question.
For a moment, the two of them remained silent and the office became extremely quiet.
After a moment, the priest finished reading, the silence broke: "The procedures are complete, but I want to ask you, Shakat, if you accept the appointment and territory of Baron Tetasha, will you accept his authority and order? Answer with your sincerity."
"Yes I do."
"God is witnessing, as you said." The pastor said dryly, and he began to sign. Most people could not see a trace of holy power, so they condensed into their handwriting.
"I wish to contribute twenty gold coins to God." This was a lot of money, but Shakater gritted his teeth and went out.
"Yeah, may God bless you." The pastor said, handing over the completed document to Shakater. From this moment, Shakater had officially served in law and became Romon's entourage.
After thanking him, Shakat took the document back, bowed, and went forward to open the door and went out.
When he got outside, Sukal was still in office, but he also said with a smile: "Congratulations, 450 acres of outside the town, this will be handed over to you. It's just 450 acres of territory and wheat. Now it belongs to you. Do I need me to send someone to help you harvest?"
"Master, no, I still have a group of people to complete." Shakater said, 450 acres of wheat, this is undoubtedly a large sum of grain, which can solve a big problem. He couldn't help but thank Romon for his considerateness.
"Well... it's good that way. I'll send someone to formally give you this land. One week to complete the arrangement of your home, isn't it enough?" Sukal asked.
"It only takes three days to suffice, Lord Mayor!" Shakater said, "In three days, I will take office in the Navy."
"Very good!" Sukal stopped talking and watched him leave.
A clerk took Shakat out and handed over the territory. When he arrived at the land, a large golden wheat field and the small building in the wheat field suddenly reflected into his visual nerves. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel red eyes... After a long time, he breathed out a deep breath of turbid air, and he knew that he had arrived home.
As long as you have this territory, even if you are killed, your family can continue.
This is also the lord's intention, to get rid of worries.
"Mr. Shakater, this is your territory. Together with this small building, of course, it is not safe yet. You can harvest and live in the town. And, your subordinates, they should register tomorrow." This is a kind reminder. Shakater woke up, nodded and expressed his gratitude, and took out a gold coin. This was the staff member who smiled even more.
When the clerk left, Shakater immediately shouted loudly: "Hasai, Eika, Flynn, Vatano!"
"Here, Captain!" The four of them answered the same as before, with full spirit and no hesitation.
"Each of you will first draw a twenty-five acres of land and build your own wooden house. I heard that there are workers in the town who specialize in building wooden houses. The ladies live in my small building first. The old friends from the past, call them all to catch up tonight, let us catch up together, and then get on the boat!" Shakater shouted spiritfully: "Each of you, at least the captain of a boat, is allowed by the lord, do it well, we are the best!"
"Yes, Captain, we are always ready to get on the boat!" The four people responded, and they were already middle-aged. When they talked about getting on the boat, they burst into tears without realizing it in front of their wives and children.
I have been working for more than ten years, and I thought I wasted my whole life, but I didn’t expect that there would be this opportunity.
In the hazy state, the man in front of him seemed to have turned back time and turned into a young man with a radiant look.
He was so excited that he had a great promise to clear the sea with just a sailboat, and everyone was impressed by it, and changed from a boat to eight boats.
At the most glorious moment, a noble command made him angrily resign and gave up everything.
At this time, the tears were wiped away, and the young man in front of him faded away. There was only one middle-aged man, but the hearts of the four people calmed down.
Shakater's eyes were filled with a lot of perseverance and a hint of domineeringness.
Shakater didn't say anything anymore. He clenched his fists. Fifteen years of wasted time prevented him from letting go easily.
