Episode 12: The Mystery of the Dwarves Section 3: The Great Immigrant of the Dwarves 2
This scene couldn't help but remind Corey of his youth, when the Thunder Eagle Mercenary Group had just received its first business and the adults bought gifts for their children, the children in the camp smiled happily.
Years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the children of those years have already taken swords and become mercenaries of Thunder Eagle. In a short time, they will find their beloved, get married, and have children. They will also bring back gifts for their children.
.
"I have an obligation to maintain all this and let everyone live a happy life." Corey told himself, so that everyone who trusts him can live a happy, peaceful and joyful life.
Seeing the dwarf child sitting on the side of the boat, holding a hammer bigger than him, Corey asked curiously: "Can you also make iron tools?"
The dwarf child seemed to be irritated by these words, and shouted at Corey: "The elders said that I am the best among my peers. I will be one hundred and fifty years old in a short time, and I can have my own
Stove, and workbench.”
One...one hundred and fifty years old. Corey's head roared. He was only in his early twenties. This dwarf kid was much older than his grandfather. Seeing Corey's embarrassed expression, Elder Gerald left.
He came over and whispered to Corey: "After the children of our tribe are born, they spend nearly a hundred years in a deep state of awakening. By the time they can walk, eat, and talk on their own, they will have to be one hundred and thirty years old at the earliest."
Even so, Corey still couldn't accept it. He coughed and said to the dwarf child: "When we get to the shore, I will prepare a good stove and a big workbench for you."
"That's great, thank you." The dwarf child saluted Elder Gerald and ran away. He wanted to tell others the good news.
Seeing the child running away, Corey waved and called Ao Lando over: "Pass this message, regarding the age of the dwarves, one hundred years is compared to our ten years." Ao Lando.
He nodded to show that he understood. He also had more contact with the dwarves. When he heard the age of the dwarves, he was originally very surprised, but as time went by, he accepted it.
A month later, the fleet arrived at the first supply base in the sea of Yasi Kingdom, Princess Watts Island.
Since Corey discovered this place, there have been nearly a hundred small boats going between here and the harbor every day. These boats are all fishing boats and are under the unified management of the newly established Thunder Eagle Boat Club. Every time they go to sea
, these ships will carry some fresh water, food, and wood to Princess Watts Island, and after catching fish, they will bring the fish back to the harbor. In the past six months, Princess Watts Island has been built into a very beautiful village.
"Master, you are back so soon." Su Di happened to be on the island and was a little surprised to see Corey. According to his calculations, even if Corey turned back as soon as he arrived on the dwarf continent, it would take at least fifty days.
But counting the days, this is forty-one days since Corey left.
Corey smiled and told Sudi about Fernando's crazy behavior when he went there, and then said: "Send a clipper back and arrange a grand welcome ceremony. It should be as grand as possible."
Sudi already knew that there were a large number of dwarf immigrants on the ship. After arranging the clipper ship to go back and prepare, he said to Corey: "Master, a new village for the dwarves has been built. It is divided into five locations. Each village can accommodate people close to
Thousands of people, but..."
"But what? Just tell me briefly. When did you become like this? You only speak half the words." Corey smiled and gave Su Di a fist. Su Di chuckled: "Master, please go inside and take a rest first." Then he said again.
He said to Aolando, who had been following Corey: "Lord Aolando, I have prepared hot water. You can wash your face and rest for a while."
Of course Ao Lando is not an idiot. He guessed that Su Di had something to say to Corey alone. Sudi was Corey's childhood friend, and this was an island controlled by Thunder Eagle. Besides, there was Mengka following him, so there was nothing wrong with it.
It was safe, so he took his men and left with Su Di's people.
After entering the room, Su Di closed the door and said: "Master, your follower is not a descendant of a big noble. It is inconvenient to say something in front of them."
"You are also a noble now, so there is nothing to worry about." Corey laughed. Sudi shook his head with a bitter look on his face. He first helped Corey pour a glass of juice, and then handed the big bottle directly to Mengka.
Then he continued: "Young master, you don't know that recently, for investment purposes, all the nobles have moved their families to the outer city of Thunder Eagle, and they are guests in my house almost every day."
"Then you were so scared that you hid here." Mengka poured himself a glass, then poured a glass for Su Di, put the bottle back into Su Di's arms and said with a smile.
Su Di nodded: "You can't avoid that. Listen to me." As he said that, Su Di took out a map, which was a nautical chart: "Young master, you see, we have already explored the sea area so much."
Because our port is connected to this island, no fishing boats are allowed to fish in the waterway."
"I understand, you continue to talk about the key points and troublesome parts."
"The trouble is, there are only so many places where you can fish safely. There are already hundreds of fishing boats in the sea, and there are nearly 200 fishing boats on the shore." Su Di looked bitter.
Said.
Corey looked at the chart and understood in his heart.
"You are saying that the safe sea area that has been discovered is so large, and there are more than 300 boats that can go fishing in the sea, it is impossible to tell them apart, and these boats are all owned by our Yasi nobles. What about the boats that are going to the sea now?
Who does the boat belong to?" Corey asked again.
"Fifty ships belong to us, and the rest are given to the nobles close to me to balance the interests. For example, the Prime Minister's family gave ten ships, and Marshal Muharlin did not ask for ten more, but
I still count them in his name. The other boats are like those of the Paquintile family, your sister’s husband’s family, etc.” Sudi reported one by one.
Corey laughed a few times, looked at Su Di and said, "I'm afraid my family will keep looking for you too."
Hearing this, Su Di smiled awkwardly: "Master, our family has been your family's tenant farmers for many years. It's very difficult for me to speak to you."
"Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. I know you are in trouble. How many ships can we put into the sea now?"
Su Di drew a picture on the chart: "Master, we are divided into regions. There are twenty ships in each region. Now we have found out clearly that there are so many sea areas without huge sea monsters. We can divide them into three more areas.
This means that forty-five fishing boats can be launched into the sea.”
"Didn't we say 20 ships per dollar? Three dollars should be 60." Mengka thought Sudi had made a mistake.
"That's right, because we don't know if there are many fish here yet. If we just release twenty boats, if we can't catch any fish, it will be useless." Su Di explained very clearly. It seems that for this kind of thing,
He has studied it in depth.
Corey looked at the chart and felt secretly happy. An interesting idea came to his mind.
"Su Di, let's talk about other things first. We'll talk about this after I get ashore." The evil smile on Corey's face made Su Di more interested.
"Master, there is also the matter of the last cooperation with the dwarves to build a large blacksmith house. Except for the imperial capital, all the provincial governors in the entire Asia have rushed to Thunder Eagle City, including the four border provinces.
Province. His Majesty also came to Thunder Eagle City in person. Every governor wants to have a blacksmith house in his province that cooperates with the dwarves."
"This is troublesome. We need to listen to the opinions of the dwarves. After the welcome ceremony is over, we will formally discuss this matter with the dwarves. As for my return, it will be announced three days later in the evening. I will discuss it with Your Majesty in these three days.
, and the dignitaries from both Korea and China are discussing some matters."
Corey was bothered by so many things that he completely forgot about going to the Dragon's Summit to ask the Dragon King about the illusion.
