Chapter 242 Development of the Navigation Industry
With the death of Dragon Python, Grenfell finally ushered in the long-lost peace!
The remaining ghosts and elves were clinging to life in the ruins. They had no time to celebrate, so they threw themselves into the ranks of rebuilding their homes.
First, the crisis caused by the Blood Curse led to the demise of the Skeleton Clan. Only a few hundred ghosts were left, and nearly half of the Elf Clan was lost. Later, they encountered the dragon and python disaster, and the cities and fortifications were destroyed, leaving the elves completely exposed to the beasts.
Under the fangs.
In addition to dragons and pythons, there are also large carnivores such as tigers and lions in the forest. Without the protection of a city, weak elves can easily become prey.
The human knights and the dwarves rushed to Sri Lanka with their warships, bringing dry food and seeds. In addition to rebuilding the city, they also spread Azersia's advanced farming civilization here, allowing the elves to get rid of the predicament of drinking dew.
However, the 300,000 knights who landed did not evacuate. Instead, they took over Grenfell and turned it into a territory of the Monty Empire.
This resolution was supported by the leaders of both tribes.
After the crisis was resolved, Chen Feng drove the Tiger to the Snei Forest. After the Blood Curse broke out, this place has become a restricted area. No one dares to set foot in it easily. It is overgrown with weeds and is completely up to the waist.
Bypassing the cordon woven with vines, Chen Feng held wild chrysanthemums in his hands and came to the edge of the lake. He spread his palms and threw the golden scales that had fallen off Luo Li's body into the lake.
The moment the golden scales touched the water, they released thousands of rays of light, making Chen Feng's eyesight go blank.
After the light gradually dimmed, Chen Feng was able to open his eyes. In the sparkling microwave, he saw a white and slender beautiful back, waist-length blond hair spreading on the lake, and the snake's tail splashing water from time to time, playing with the girl.
water.
"Luo Li?" Chen Feng tentatively called out Luo Li's name.
"My name is Luo Li?" Luo Li turned around and looked at Chen Feng, but she could not remember her old friend at all.
"Yes, that's your name, Fairy Spirit Luo Li!"
The girl turned around. She had exactly the same appearance as Luo Li, except that her face was a little childish.
Chen Feng jumped into the lake, and after a while of dog-pawing, he came to Luo Li's side, took out the Maple Leaf Medal that symbolized the royal status, "I'll give you a gift, keep it as a souvenir."
The curse of the gods brought her back to life, but she lost all her memories.
Chen Feng could barely accept this bloody setting. In any case, amnesia was hundreds of times better than death.
"It's so beautiful. Do you want to give me such an expensive gift? But this is the first time we have met?" Luo Li opened his palms, holding the Maple Leaf Medal, his eyes filled with all kinds of joy.
Chen Feng returned to the tiger posture and took out a crystal clear dress. It was made of tiger and lion crystals and was waterproof. It was originally intended to be given to Luo Li, but the right time could not be found.
"You gave me so many gifts, how can I thank you?"
"From now on, please call me Luo Li."
From early morning to sunset, Chen Feng planned to take Luo Li back to Sri Lanka, but as soon as her snake tail left Daze, her body seemed to be burned by fire, glowing with a red halo, which scared her so much that she hurriedly got back into the lake.
"It seems that the restrictions imposed by the gods' curse prevent you from leaving Daze."
This large swamp is located in the Snei Forest. Although it covers an area of several hundred acres, it is not connected to the outside world. Luo Li will be trapped here forever.
After a brief farewell, Chen Feng returned to Sri Lanka alone and asked the dwarves to dig ditches overnight to lead the swamp to rivers, seas and lakes, to every corner of Grenfell, and finally to the sea.
In this way, Luo Li's range of activities is greatly increased, and he can swim to the deep sea and even reach the port of Azersia.
"Whether it is Grenfell or Azeroth, they are all territories of the Monty Empire. Keep the Maple Leaf Medal in your hand, it can help you at a critical moment."
After rebuilding Sri Lanka, Chen Feng overturned the statue of the Creation Lady and replaced it with Luo Li. After all, it was she who killed the dragon python and saved Grenfell.
And established Luo Li as the god of Grenfell, worshiped and enshrined by the elves and ghosts.
After doing all this, Chen Feng took the warship with the team and returned to Monty King City.
No useful clues were found at the Barabi Temple, but the appearance of Zhang Ke, the Creation Lady, made Chen Feng realize that the world might not be as simple as he imagined.
He wants to explore wider seas and open up unknown territories.
After learning about Chen Feng's idea, Leah immediately announced in court that she would set up a maritime patrol department, with Chen Feng as the top officer, to help the Monti Empire find new continents, and use one-third of the tax revenue every year for
Territorial expansion and maritime trade.
The biggest problem before us is not money, but warships.
Although the destroyer was fast and stable, it had limited fuel and could not sail long distances, so Chen Feng finally decided to replace the warship with an ordinary sailing ship.
Chen Feng drew the drawings overnight and discussed the details with Elizabeth.
The dwarves are all architectural geniuses, and they also know a little bit about shipbuilding. At least they will be familiar with the structure of a new warship faster than ordinary knights.
When the old Petersburg troops learned that Chen Feng had established a maritime patrol department and wanted to explore the New World, they all volunteered to join him.
Among them was Merchant Glenn, who was once Gladstone's lieutenant and helped Chen Feng in the Elf Continent.
Ocean sailing has always been Gladstone's wish. Now that Chen Feng wants to realize his dream, the other lieutenants naturally come to follow him.
Compared with the Knights, they have many voyage experiences. After being discharged from the army, they did not go home to farm. Instead, they continued to engage in sailing trade. They were familiar with water and could easily adapt to the harsh environment at sea.
The Maritime Patrol Department received one-third of the country's financial allocation every year, which amounted to forty to five billion gold coins. Chen Feng was not stingy at all, spending money like water, buying the most expensive and strongest wood to build big ships.
All kinds of utensils on the ship are available, and the sailors' meals are also of the highest standard, including three meats, four vegetables, one soup, and white flour steamed buns.
In the first wave, two hundred warships and one oversized treasure ship were built.
Chen Feng only left thirty warships, and the rest were equipped with Maxims and handed over to the navy for dispatch.
The Monty Empire has always been lacking in maritime military power, so it urgently needs to be improved. In this unknown continent, there may be a higher-level civilization that is eyeing Azerothia.
However, such a large amount of funding also aroused dissatisfaction from other princes and important ministers.
Many ministers believe that the establishment of the Maritime Patrol Department is just a waste of money and will not bring substantial benefits to the Monty Empire.
Just like the Elven Continent of Grenfell, it was under the empire, but it has been losing money.
The voices of doubt are getting louder and louder, and some people even suspect that Emperor Leia is addicted to male sex, and they will not hesitate to scold Chen Feng with tens of billions of gold coins just for Bo Chen Feng's smile.
The rumors became more and more intense, but Liya ignored them and tried her best to support Chen Feng in doing what he liked.
