Chapter 60 Aquaman Duke (1)
Another brilliant victory.
More witnesses, more spoils.
For three consecutive days, the body of the Gray-Scale Naga, as well as hundreds of fishmen, hung in the port of Stormwind City.
"The Naga and the fishman within three hundred nautical miles of Stormwind City have been wiped out by the great Lord Duke Marcus. Fishermen, you can fish in the ocean as much as possible - if you join our "Hurricane Chamber of Commerce", you will get better protection and better profits."
"If there is no boat, we can lend it to you first. You just need to sign a five-year labor contract with our Chamber of Commerce, and go to sea for no less than 25 weeks each year. We promise to hand over 30% of each fish catch to the Chamber of Commerce. A brand new fishing boat is your property. As long as the contract expires, the fishing boat belongs to you."
As one of Duke's verbal talk, Macaro has officially become a Duke's follower.
Now, he often motivates more fishermen at the docks for Duke, and more young men join Duke's newly established Hurricane Chamber of Commerce.
In fact, Duke used common methods of using taxi companies before traveling to seduce fishermen or fishermen descendants who could not find work, which was really unfavorable.
More varieties of fish and seafood also support Duke's expansion in business.
Especially in the past month, Duke has formed a whaling fleet.
On the big ship, Duke patted several huge wine barrels next to him.
"This is the float. As long as the javelin tied with a rope is pierced by the whale, we don't need to duel with this giant. We just need to stop it from diving. When its strength is exhausted, victory will belong to us."
Duke's commentary shocked Windersol, who was standing next to Duke.
Yes, Windsol is back with the craftsmen Duke needs. Before he even arrived in Stormwind, he had heard Duke's reputation in Kultilas.
A Pearl Route.
In this era when deep diving was with fishmen, Naga, and sharks, most people could only pick up pearls from shells on the beach. But Duke continued to produce various underwater specialties that made the nobles crazy.
The emergence of the Pearl Route also stimulated the Kurtiras merchants who were running maritime businessmen.
A bet of 500 gold coins?
More than two zeros will be added.
So after Wendersol arrived, he simply said that he was sent by the owner of the Pearl Route to recruit craftsmen. In addition, Duke told the Stormwind City military to lend a griffin and asked Macaro to fly over and bring Windersol 20,000 gold coins directly.
As a result, when Windersol came back this time, in addition to bringing a huge team of 200 people, he also cleaned up all the inventory of all shipyards in Kultilas.
Unexpectedly, when I came back, when I saw the big ship brought by Windsol, Duke had a new idea - the whale hunting fleet.
People throw spears with their arms, Duke is better, and they cheat directly and let the mage insert the javelin onto the whale's tail.
The sailors watched in surprise as the buckets swayed on the sea surface, but they did not sink.
More than an hour later, the exhausted whale floated to the surface. Seeing this scene, hundreds of sailors on the three whaling ships burst into cheers at the same time.
Windersol and Macaro were stunned.
"Reggie, do you know what this guy is useful?"
Reginard Windersol, nicknamed Reggie, was still very uncomfortable with Duke's almost blind trust in him and his usual familiar treatment.
He wanted to do business, but remembered that he lost the bet and he was already a follower of Duke. With a sigh in his heart, Windsol tentatively replied: "Can you eat it?"
Duke smiled and shook his head: "Most whale meat is not delicious. What I want is what's inside the whale."
Duke would not say it. His goal was to smear the ambergris of the sperm whale. The perfume made into perfume will make the noble ladies of the entire human kingdom of Azeroth crazy. Generally speaking, he still knows how to do it. This will be the key stepping stone for Duke to open the door to wealth and convenience.
Duke continued, "Of course, I won't waste such a large piece of meat. If you drag it back, I will tell you how to make this thing delicious. By the way, whales' fat is also a good thing."
Duke already has a complete set of soy sauce brewing methods, which is purely what Duke accidentally remembered when he was bored when Duke was soy sauce.
He will divide the process into multiple parts and operate it by different masters. In fact, the first batch of finished products have already come out and the effect is quite good.
A few days later, in the Royal Palace of Stormwind City.
King Ryan Wrien and Queen, young little prince and little princess, and Anduin Lothar saw the imperial chef serve him a dish he had never seen before.
"This is..." The king looked up and looked at his imperial chef strangely.
“This is a new dish that has appeared in Stormwind City recently—eat salmon raw.”
"Fish? That kind of fishy thing? And how do you eat raw?"
In Azeroth, people don’t even know how to ward off fish. In most aristocratic concepts, fish is eaten by inferior people.
But the Royal Chef used Duke's personal teaching method to show Ryan and Anduin how to pour lemon juice on iced salmon and how to order mustard and soy sauce to eat raw.
With a try-making mentality, Ryan and Anduin tried both.
"Yeah, it's true that the taste is very special. I think I like this thing a little." Ryan gently wiped his mouth.
The little prince and the little princess even said they wanted to add one.
At this time Anduin spoke: "Ryan, do you still remember the big show-off Duke Marcus?"
"Of course I remember, the youngest Earth Mage in our kingdom." When answering, Ryan glanced at the fan-shaped red coral placed in the restaurant. The fiery red coral has a radius of nearly one meter. This was what Duke gave to him: "What?"
"He also made this thing."
"Oh? Isn't he a mage? Why did he become a chef?" King Ryan was curious.
"In fact, this Marcus mage has done a lot." Anduin counted what Duke had done recently to Ryan one by one. From regaining Naga and the fisherman to forming a pearl route, to expanding the fishermen's fishing range, to whaling, to making spices such as soy sauce and mustard.
The more Ryan listened, the more he felt: "I like this little guy. My tax officer has mentioned him to me more than once, and paid the tax in a timely and full in one lump sum. Well, it seems that we are going to have a good year. Unfortunately... Medivh is missing, otherwise I would have recommended this dish to him."
"The problem is that he has recently formally submitted a report to me, hoping to form a whaling team of two hundred men, javelins and ballasts, and hope to expand a large stone dock."
