Father Pompeii is an old native of the Port of Dunerker. He doesn’t know how many generations ago his ancestors have been living in Dunerker. His family has witnessed the transformation of Dunerker from a small fishing village to the empire’s first
All the historical events of the three major ports and the only ice-free port in the north of the empire.
When he was young, Pompeii's father was also very aggressive. He worked as a porter at the dock for two years. Then because he was good at using his two fists, he was absorbed into a violent porter gang.
Naturally, just like the life experience that is almost necessary for all brave and fierce young people in Dunerqi, Pompeii, who has a good temperament, became a little pirate.
I followed the old captain and wandered on the sea for several years. After a few years, I went to the winds and waves to eat meat and drink, and changed girls every night. Like other brave and fierce compatriots,
Father Pompeii met a girl he really loved. So the pirate Pompeii disappeared from the world, and there was an Uncle Pompeii who opened a tavern in Duner. As the years passed, Uncle Pompeii became Pompeii.
Dad.
Father Pompeii, who once liked to speak with fists and daggers, now has three sons who like to make trouble even more than he did back then. Obviously, it is impossible for his three rebellious sons to inherit his tavern separately.
A tavern can feed a family, but it cannot feed three families.
Father Pompeii did not want two of his three sons to follow his own path and live a rough and wandering life at sea. Maybe one day they would be killed somewhere in the sea and thrown into the sea like garbage to feed the fish.
So Pompeii took out all his savings, including all the profits he had made from nearly ten years of hard work at sea, and all the income his tavern had brought him over the past decades, a total of ten thousand golden coins.
Gold coins. All his savings were put into the Trident Whale Hunting Company by Father Pompeii, and into the whale hunting ship Sea Windmill which was being built.
Gloriously becoming a minority shareholder of a whale hunting company, Pompeii waited in anxiety for two years before the offshore windmill was finally launched. And if the offshore windmill makes any gains during this year's whale hunting season,
Just one good harvest can allow all shareholders to recover their costs, and all future earnings will become pure profits for shareholders.
Pompeii's plan is very simple and simple. The cost will be recovered in the first year, and then a profit equivalent to his total investment cost will fall into his pocket every year. After deducting the taxes paid to the empire, he will be able to have a profit in ten years.
The total assets are nearly 100,000 gold coins, which is enough for him to find a good piece of land in Dunerke and open a sizable inn.
A tavern cannot feed three sons and their future families, but a tavern plus a good-sized inn are more than enough to feed five sons and their families. Father Pompeii wants his sons to behave themselves.
Don't go back to the old path he took when he was young and frivolous.
Early in the morning, I heard rumors at the port that the windmill was coming into the port, so Pompeii hurried to the port. He was very surprised as to why the windmill would come back today. According to the whale hunting plan, he at least had to
You can return to Hong Kong after seven days.
Could it be that we were very lucky this year, and the big windmill on the sea hit a good harvest as soon as it left the port?
Or maybe it's just bad luck, did the windmill on the sea run into any trouble?
With uneasy thoughts, Pompeii's father mingled among the crowd and waited quietly. As a result, when the windmill parked at the berth, Pompeii's first sight was the huge hole in the butt of the giant ship.
, which was split open by external forces, and large holes with cracks and melting marks appeared on the surrounding steel plates.
Father Pompeii's eyes suddenly darkened. Is this ship in big trouble?
Father Pompeii seemed to see his ten thousand gold coins giving birth to ten thousand pairs of cute little wings, fluttering away from him. He seemed to see his three sons wielding axes and machetes and robbing merchant ships at sea.
, and then the escorting mercenaries shot him with a crossbow and turned him into a hedgehog.
Although he has never seen such a magical creature as a hedgehog with his own eyes, this does not prevent Pompeii's father from imagining what it should look like - three sons piled together with arrow shafts all over their bodies, which should be a kind of hedgehog.
A perfect interpretation of the creature.
There was a sweet feeling in the throat, and Papa Pompeii's blood was brewing in his throat.
At this moment, Pompeii saw Blackbeard and this important figure in Dunerq. He also saw Lin Qi and Blackbeard embracing each other passionately, and heard Lin Qi's understatement.
Words——He and Enzo teamed up to kill a prey.
Father Pompeii's heart suddenly tightened. A prey? If it is a narwhal, then things are not too bad. This year he can at least recover some costs, even if the maintenance cost of the windmill at sea is added, Pompeii
Dad can also return to his tavern with some gold coins.
But like all uneasy small shareholders, Pompeii's father was full of some anger towards Lin Qi. With only one prey, you actually let the big windmill on the sea return, and with only one prey, you actually caused harm to the big windmill on the sea.
Such a huge damage. The cost of repairing such a giant wheel is very expensive. For such a large hole about two meters in diameter, it will cost at least tens of thousands of gold coins to repair it.
At this moment, the few representatives of the small shareholders who were very happy rushed out. They stood on the bow of the ship and raised high the golden, threaded boat, which was more than four meters long and had an ordinary human waist at the bottom.
Thick unicorn!
The unique color, the unique whorl, and the length that far exceeds the length of the ordinary narwhal's horn, all of this told everyone on the dock, Lin Qi and Enzo, two noble young masters, that they hunted a unique narwhal.
Whale King!
A king narwhal worth ten or twenty times the value of an ordinary narwhal mad whale!
Papa Pompeii's heart was beating violently, and the hot blood rushed into his brain along the blood vessels, washing every part of his body. He hugged everyone around him enthusiastically, and yelled incoherently,
Waving his hands vigorously.
He seemed to see that a brand new inn had been completed, he saw his three sons, his beautiful and strong daughter-in-law, and his grandchildren running around on the ground. Happiness came so quickly and suddenly, and Father Pompeii's tears rolled down his face.
, he looked up to the sky and smiled: "Master Lin Qi, Master Enzo, they are really..."
Father Pompeii, who was short of words, hesitated for a while, and then suddenly shouted: "Master Lin Qi, Master Enzo, you are men among men!"
The dignitaries on the dock burst into laughter and nodded in admiration. This was so appropriate.
Lin Qi and Enzo bowed reservedly to the enthusiastic crowd around them, and everyone was firmly wrapped in an atmosphere of happiness.
