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"
Dali sighed: "I wonder what the old man's ideal is?"
The old man smiled proudly: "My ideal is to explore the unexplored mysteries of the world."
Crackling, the officials and celebrities present immediately applauded.
Hey, your ideals have nothing to do with me. It hurts Dali not to accompany him and goes straight to the point: "Sir, I am currently short of a captain of a heavy battleship. Although I don't know you, you sound very powerful.
I want to ask you to come out."
The old man said displeasedly: "You haven't answered my question yet. It's said that people with different paths don't work together. If your ideal is so superficial, then I'm really sorry."
Dali hurriedly said: "Although my ideals are not that lofty, I can help the old gentleman realize his ideals. For example, if the old gentleman sets up an expedition team, as a lord, I can guarantee the old gentleman's investment. As long as I have money, my ideals will not matter.
It’s half done.”
The old man smiled and said: "If I want money, I don't know how many nobles in the kingdom are willing to support me. What I want are strong, determined teammates who share the same ideals."
Come on, this kind of legendary so-and-so has given up hope, so it’s better to find a more reliable count. He could only sigh: "The old gentleman is so strong, what is it about the dragon and the tiger's den that requires the old gentleman to form such a strong team?
"
The old man smiled coldly: "I have spent a thousand years looking for the lost ancient civilization. During this thousand years, my partners either died of old age or couldn't stand the loneliness of exploration and quit sadly. I need a real partner, boy, no matter what
Your financial resources and strength are not up to par."
As soon as these words came out, all the officials couldn't help but sigh.
Damn it, what labor and management want is a captain, not a piece of shitty exploration like yours. He really has a weird temperament. Anyway, there is no hope of inviting him. How could he, the hero of Yangfan Town, get his shit kicked out of him in front of so many hometown officials?
No? This will greatly affect your prestige in the future.
So Dali decided to use his advantage as a time traveler to win back the victory: "The lost ancient civilization? What is the old gentleman referring to? The city of Enixga in the sky? The deep sea fortress of Atlantis? The ancient jungle country of Maya?"
Hehe, these are all promotional materials for the new expansion pack "Age of Heroes" that was officially released for players who are about to reach level 200 before Dali traveled through time. Unfortunately, there is not much specific information, and what we know about Dali is limited to advertisements.
The old man's eyes widened, he grabbed Dali's collar and said excitedly: "How do you know what Atlantis and the star in the sky you are talking about are?"
Hehe, you were shocked. Dali continued to show off: "There is also the underground city of Kolos... There are so many miracles in this world. Old sir, you should continue to go out and walk around. During the time you study behind closed doors,
Countless wonders have been born in the world."
The old man trembled and loosened Dali's collar: "Then tell me how you know about Atlantis?"
There's a joke. It turns out that the old man has been looking for Atlantis. It's the mobile fortress in the official promotional video. How could you find it? The problem is that it was only released in the expansion pack a few years later. Now the game
There is still a question whether there is any in the data. However, since the npc mentioned this clue, it means that it must be there now, but it is not open. In this case, then boldly travel through
Dali chuckled: "If you are willing to be my captain, I will tell you. However, I can tell you now that Atlantis is not in a place. The city can swim under the sea, so you are in the original
It’s not okay to go around in circles where you found him.”
The old man was shocked and confused: "So you can swim under the sea? I just said it, no wonder I can't find it again. Why can cities swim under the sea?"
Dali wanted to say that Enixka could still swim in the sky, but he really didn't dare to continue traveling. If he continued to travel, this expansion pack that had not appeared in previous lives might completely collapse the master brain. He could only say: "I
My knowledge is also limited. However, if the old gentleman is willing to explore with me - of course, I am facing huge troubles now. I will definitely accompany the old gentleman to explore in a few years. I urgently need the old gentleman to solve my troubles now.
"
The expansion pack will be released in a few years, and I can’t help but stay with you even if I don’t want to.
The old man laughed loudly: "I have been waiting for thousands of years, so what does a few years mean? Okay, just because you are young and young, I will play with you for a few years."
——System prompt: Due to changes in the functions of plot NPCs, the hidden mission "The History of Yangfan Town" has been suspended.
——System prompt: You trigger the legendary mission "The Legendary Adventure of the Great Adventurer"
——Task tip: The great explorer Nemo is willing to help you solve problems, but you must fulfill your promise to accompany him on adventures.
Looking at these sudden prompts, I was stunned and stopped the hidden mission? I actually fooled the system. Think about it carefully, how many levels are required to trigger this mission under normal circumstances? Under normal circumstances, this mission needs to be triggered after a few years.
?At least we have to wait until the sixth expansion pack comes out?
Thinking about it, only time travelers can receive this mission now. It turns out that time travelers are so powerful that I can’t explain it, haha. As for what kind of legendary level it is? This is a shitty legendary level mission. It’s so weak compared to Molier’s pain in the ass.
In the next few years, I will be able to reach new heights. You, old man, can be a captain for a few years.
Crackling, everyone applauded warmly. The mayor was delighted: "To celebrate Mr. Nemo's coming out of the mountain, let's drink a toast."
The old man shook his head: "No, no, I don't want to use my previous name, lest I become too famous and socialize too much, my current name is Lenimo."
The mayor and other officials looked at each other in confusion - you are so famous, you have been an otaku for thousands of years. If it weren't for us hometown elders who have to rely on an erroneous map allusion to remember you, who would still remember you when you go out?
Huh? Oh, I understand, he was afraid that no one would be around when he went out, so he changed his name on purpose?
All the officials felt enlightened and hurriedly raised their glasses: "Cheers to our Captain Lenimo"
Old man, okay, now it's Lenimo: "I still have to deal with some things, so I would like to thank you all very much today."
Everyone said: "Then we won't disturb Mr.'s preparations. Let's take our leave." Then they dispersed.
When leaving the house, the mayor spoke earnestly to Dali: "Baron Dali, Mr. Nemo is a great sage that even the palace cannot invite. Now that he is willing to come out to assist you, you must seize this opportunity and strive to make contributions to your career. Elders in my hometown."
They are all counting on you."
Dali hurriedly said: "Don't worry, sir. When I become prosperous, I will definitely benefit the village. I will not forget the hard work you have put in today."
The mayor smiled happily and said: "Okay, okay"
The next day it went online, Dali was waiting at the door of the grocery store. Then the mayor and a group of officials came to wait at the door. After a while, the door opened - wow, what a brand new look, tall and majestic, with deep eyes, sharp edges, calmness, wisdom and strength.
The well-dressed, pipe-smoking Captain Mormors shaves his beard and trims his hair, but how can he still look old-fashioned?
Lenimo smiled and said: "My lords, you are so polite."
The officials said: "When the old gentleman comes out of the mountain, we should see him off."
Lenimo said with emotion: "I am deeply touched by the great respect from all the adults." After saying that, he took out a piece of paper from his suitcase and said to the mayor: "I don't know how many years it will take before I leave.
This map records a geothermal hot spring in this town. This hot spring is rich in minerals. Taking a bath in it has the effect of curing diseases and strengthening the body. Making tea can clear the mind and improve eyesight. It is not much worse than the water used by the royal family for making tea. This area
The development of hot springs can be regarded as adding an industry to this town."
All the officials cried out: "It turns out that the town's original name, Green Spring, was not in vain, right?"
Renimo smiled dryly and said, "I discovered it a long time ago, but then I forgot about it as things got more complicated."
The mayor of the town was delighted: "Mr. Sir, he has brought great benefits to the township. On behalf of the people of the town, we would like to express our gratitude to him." After saying this, all the officials bowed and saluted.
Lenimo smiled and said: "The adults are too polite. In fact, I feel that I haven't done enough and I am ashamed of my hometown."
What a fool, I have done so many advertisements and introduced so many things in front of me. Isn’t this a clear call for me to return my investment to my hometown?
