Dali arrived at the dock. The appearance and canvas of the second battleship had been changed, and it was also dressed in white. It had been renamed "Piety" by Fiona.

Hurley said: "Brother, the Piety has been renovated in the past two days. Excluding sailors, it is still short of 76 sailors. We also need to recruit a captain, a first mate, a second mate each, and 10 gunners."

Dali said: "It's okay, I'll ask the mayor to help recruit some trustworthy people." Judging from the staffing on the cruise ship, Dali is very confident in Orlais's employment standards.

Hurley said: "Brother, the mayor has been recruiting people to expand the navy these past two days. I heard that his superiors gave him a grand commendation and allocated 10 medium-sized warships to him."

Awarded 10 ships? It’s worthy of the military department. Dali was surprised and said: “Then how did he recruit?”

"The Sailors want to recruit 2,500 people. I heard that he has opened recruitment offices in Darnassus, Green Spring Town, and this town. I don't know about other places, but this town only recruited 100 people."

Um, that's it, he can't even feed himself, so it's even more awkward for me to go to him. It's obviously causing trouble for him. Recruiting from the public? Um, I don't dare to do this. What if pirates or spies sneak in?

In particular, the position of captain is very important. Let alone ability, you must at least be absolutely trustworthy. The problem is that without the recommendation of the mayor, how can you trust the person you recruit as a player?

Ask Clifford to take over the role concurrently? Well, that is a way, but it will inevitably conflict with the Fisheries Association. At the same time, he may not have the ability to command such a large ship. He is probably about the same as Hurley, who has never been on board in his life.

How could a man on a big ship have this ability? He is only good at driving small and medium-sized ships.

Bluetooth? Although according to the plot, he is the Viking pirate king who hides his identity (the strength of this king is far worse than that of Red Beard), but he is drunk all day long, and how can you trust a guy who is usually carried away by others?

And I heard that the Vikings all use oars. Is he capable of using such a large ship? Forget it, if not, it can be regarded as a backup manpower.

Asking Ferdinand for help? That's even worse. If he sends a crony in, isn't that inviting a wolf into the house? Asking the earl for help? It seems like the only option is to ask him.

While he was struggling, Hurley said: "How about I go back to my hometown in Green Spring and find some friends I know to work as sailors for you?"

Oh? My hometown? The words woke up the dreamer. My hometown also has a mayor. More importantly, there is no conflict of interest with me. At the same time, I also expect myself to invest in food and say that I am enjoying the glory outside. He also said that he is right.

If you can't find him, then you can go to the earl. After all, Dali has a deep understanding of the earl, a big man who can change everything in his hands at any time. Out of instinctive fear, he doesn't dare to fully trust him. If there is no other way, he can only go to him.

Dali clapped his hands: "Okay, you guys go to my hometown in Luquan, and I'll go to my hometown in Yangfan Town." He did what he said, and Dali went straight to Yangfan Town.

Yangfan Town Administrative Office.

The mayor greeted warmly: "It turns out that Baron Dali is back. Please invite me."

Dali opened the door and said: "Sir, I have something important to ask you for help today."

The mayor patted his chest: "As long as we can help, there will be no problem."

Dali said: "That's it. During this time, I fought pirates, helped kill Red Beard, and captured his heavy battleship——"

As soon as he said this, the mayor was immediately in awe and excited: "It is indeed Baron Dali who is helping. It is true, just because of him Orles, yea"

Hey hey, Orles is very fierce, don't criticize him.

Dali smiled and said: "Actually, it is mainly because our Holy See is helping. Due to the need for confidential tasks, it is inconvenient to receive the credit. You just need to know this. In short, the battleship becomes mine, and then the City Coast Guard Department appointed me.

The newly established Nasaiyan Town Guard Team is now the captain. The key for me now is to find a trustworthy captain. After much thought, I have to decide whether to kiss the people from my hometown. I can only come back and ask the mayor to help introduce him."

The mayor nodded thoughtfully: "He is indeed a hero of his hometown. He has become the captain of the garrison. This is a position in charge of soldiers. The choice of captain is indeed very important. Let me think about it, let me think about it...

"

"My lord, think slowly, don't be in a hurry." It's better to go home. If you agree immediately, wouldn't the matter be half done?

After struggling for a long time, the mayor wiped his sweat and said: "My memory is not very good, I want to summon all the officials in the town to work together."

It seems that captains are really rare talents? Dali felt vaguely that things were not simple.

In the town meeting hall, 50 officials from all over the town gathered together, whispering and discussing. In the end, they couldn't help but shake their heads.

The mayor had to shake his head and sighed: "Although our town is called Yangfan Town, it is indeed an inland town that does not live up to its name. No one knows any candidates for captain."

It seemed that all he had to do was find the earl. Dali couldn't help but sigh, and then asked curiously: "Our town is obviously not a coastal town, so why did it get this name?"

The mayor smiled and said: "Actually, our town should be called Green Spring Town, and Green Spring Town should be called Yangfan Town. This is mainly because many years ago, a world explorer accidentally made a mistake when drawing a world map.

--etc"

——System prompt: You trigger the hidden mission "History of Yangfan Town"

——Task tip: Yangfan Town has a little-known history, and there will be some interesting gains if you continue the research and investigation.

Well, I didn’t expect that a hidden mission could be unearthed from a place name, but for Dali, who was involved in an epic and legendary mission, he had no idea at all.

All the officials in the room suddenly woke up and exclaimed: "The legendary Captain Nemo"

The mayor clapped his hands: "Yes, Captain Nemo, if he is a young man as talented as Baron Dali, he will definitely go to the mountains, er, go to sea."

Dali was surprised and said: "Captain Nemo? Who is this?"

The mayor said: "It's the explorer I just mentioned who made the wrong map mark. He hasn't explored for thousands of years. Now he is the antique appraiser of this town. If it weren't for this wrong map, I'm afraid no one would remember that he was once

An explorer, a captain"

Dali was overjoyed: "Then please ask the mayor to help invite him to come out."

The mayor nodded: "Although this is by no means an easy thing, we will definitely help. Come with me, everyone."

No? Who can ask for this kind of all-out action?

A crowd of officials and dozens of people rushed to a sundry shop selling handicrafts in the town - could it be that this sundry shop turned out to be an antique appraisal institute? Yangfan Town is not simple. It seems that every small town is like Nasser.

There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Yangzhen.

In the handicraft store, a female elf was cleaning the store with a feather duster. She was surprised when she saw so many officials coming in: "Mr. Mayor, what do you want, adults?"

The mayor smiled and said: "Miss Nirulu, we have something to ask for to see Mr. Nemo."

The clerk named Nilulu frowned and said: "Grandpa stopped seeing anyone many years ago. He locked himself in his room and studied ancient writings. Even I just put his food outside the door."

The mayor said: "We have to ask Miss Nilulu to convey it for us. All the officials in our town respectfully invite him to discuss important matters."

Um, all the officials in the town, this town can't bear to be flattered by Dali. Nilulu can't bear it either, so she can only sigh: "Then come with me, gentlemen." She opened the back door of the grocery store, and all the officials followed her.

Enter a wide garden courtyard.

Nilulu knocked on the door in front of a room in the courtyard: "Grandpa, the mayor and the whole town have something important to see."

After shouting for a while with no results, Nilulu shouted three times in a row.

Finally, an angry shout came from the house: "See you, see you, I won't see you even when the king comes, let them go quickly."

Damn it, this is too much. How dare you not give face to the mayor and all the officials in the town? And these officials are all huddled together and silent, aren't they? Is this old man really that powerful?

The mayor said loudly: "It seems that we came at the wrong time and disturbed sir, but we will wait for him outside the door."

Nilulu couldn't stand it any longer and said anxiously: "Everyone is busy with official duties, so don't waste time here. My grandpa has a very weird temperament. It's normal even if he doesn't come out for decades -"

Before she finished speaking, there were shouts and curses in the room: "Your mother is weird, your father is weird, and your whole family is weird."

Nilulu waved her hands helplessly. No, is it really okay for this old man to be the captain?

The mayor said firmly: "It doesn't matter. Sir is one of the few great sages in the kingdom. We will wait here, otherwise it will not be enough to show our sincerity."

Dali couldn't stand it anymore: "Well, Mr. Mayor, I can't waste your official duties for my own selfish purposes."

The mayor shook his head: "This matter is related to the future of the baron, and even further related to the future of the kingdom. It is not trivial. As for official business, it doesn't matter. We will work here on site and ask the secretary to bring the official documents for review."

Just kidding, wouldn’t it be shameful for the dignified mayor to not even see the person under his control? Although it is already very shameful, wouldn’t it be even more shameful if word spread? Even if he is a scapegoat, he will have to blame him until he comes out.

Is it related to the future of the kingdom? This, yes, the time traveler is so powerful that there is no explanation, but it is normal for it to be related to the future of the world. Dali had no choice but to calmly accompany the adults to wait.

Within a short while, secretaries from various departments were coming in and out, and there was an endless stream of people coming to visit with business. The entire courtyard office scene was like a vegetable market.

In the afternoon, a secretary came to report: "Mr. Mayor, xxx restaurant invites you to a work dinner."

The mayor waved his hand: "On-site office" and the secretary followed the order and left.

After a while, a group of restaurant waiters pushed a dining cart and carried folding tables and chairs into the venue to arrange seats. Then a group of local celebrities filed in, and then a group of musicians also entered the courtyard.

All the celebrities were surprised and said: "It turns out that all the adults are here, calling your boss for extra food, please bring it over quickly."

The mayor said: "It's rare to get together today. Let's all drink together. Here I will introduce to you the deeds of the youngest and most promising hero in this town, Baron Dali..."

Dali hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This, don't take it seriously, don't take it, it's a prize, it's a prize, hehe."

Then they drank and drank, and the music started playing. Just then:

——With a "clang", the door finally opened, and a tall old man with hair and beard covering his face said angrily: "It's so noisy.

As soon as the old man came out, the whole audience stood up in awe.

This old man's level and strength are unfathomable. He is indeed the legendary so-and-so. No wonder everyone respects (fear) him so much.

The old man was about to get angry, but when he suddenly saw so many people, and they were all officials in the town, and they were all respectful, he was really embarrassed to vent his anger, so he had to angrily walk to a table and pick up the

He took a big sip from a bottle of wine, and the wine dripped down his beard all over the floor: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

The mayor pushed Dali forward and said respectfully: "Mr. Nemo, this Baron Dali is the hero of our town, and now he is——"

"Okay, okay" the old man interrupted impatiently: "I heard it just now - boy, what is your ideal?"

Damn it, the distance between ideal and reality is very far. If you ask me, ideal is of no use.

Dali could only say calmly: "My ideal is world peace."

——Ah, the old man took a sip of wine and sprayed it in Dali’s face: “Bullshit!”

Oh, this old man is still pragmatic. Dali could only say honestly: "Make money, buy a house, find a virtuous wife, preferably a pretty one."

"That's none of my business"
