In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.
Shiloh looked at the increasingly complete Stormwind City, feeling full of pride in his heart.
During this time, all the basic buildings in Stormwind City have been completed and become more complete.
The murlocs living in the deep sea seem to have been frightened by the ferocity of humans since they experienced the last battle. The lizardmen entrenched underground are also silent. They have been stationed in the cave to monitor the knights, so the knights have not noticed anything at all.
The wind blows.
The enemies of Stormwind City ceased their efforts at this moment, and seemed to disappear from the world.
Although he did not dare to be careless, Shiloh still seized this safe time and worked hard to develop.
The mining of the peripheral islands of Hope Island has finally been put on the agenda.
The rich iron ore and copper mines are like a coquettish dancer, swaying her skirt and waving to Hilo.
Why are you hesitating? Go ahead!
In the past few days, Hilo has selected more than a hundred free manpower, chosen a good day to enter the remaining islands, and has selected places to build mines and prepare to mine ore.
As for Shiloh himself, after undergoing training from Conrad's devil, his own strength has been improved again. His strength and agility have been increased by one point each again, reaching the level of 5 points for a normal person.
Of course, Shiloh has also lost some weight now. Shiloh estimates that he has lost at least 20 pounds.
Well, it looks much more pleasing to the eye.
During this period, Shiloh entered the training ground twice more, still practicing archery, and finally completed the training after probably dying hundreds of times.
Archery has not been advanced, it is still at the basic level.
Archery (basic level, progress: 83.7%)
Now, with Hilo's archery skills, he could probably only shoot at a fixed target from a distance of a hundred paces.
It had just rained in the morning, and there was a hint of coolness in the air.
Hilo always takes some time to come to the dock these days. Although the dock has just been built and many facilities are not perfect, it is still quite lively.
The good guys under Rowan divided the four warships into four shifts and staggered the fishing. Basically every day, they could see a large amount of fresh seafood being delivered to the dock.
Shiloh especially likes to get involved at this time.
Dissecting pearls from various shells has been his favorite entertainment project these days.
But today, Hilo is not here to collect pearls, but is going to go to sea with the Bloris to experience the life of a fisherman.
After working for so long, it’s time to give yourself a vacation.
Not long after, the sailors pulled up the anchor, raised the sail, and slowly sailed out of the natural port, heading towards the natural port in the deep sea.
Hilo stood at the bow of the ship, holding on to the enclosed deck, looking at this vast sea area, with infinite emotion in his heart.
The line between sea and sky is endless.
This is his territory and his home.
"Your Highness, I ordered my men to prepare some fine wine and meat. Your Highness can enjoy it slowly in the room."
Shiloh nodded and said with a smile: "Hahaha, Rowan, I didn't expect that a big and thick guy like you would have such a delicate mind."
"Well, in that case, you can eat, drink and chat with me."
The two came to the captain's cabin together and drank happily.
The roasted lean meat prepared for Hilo was cooked with great care. In addition to various spices, it was also coated with a layer of honey. The golden honey was wrapped on the roasted and unburned skin of the meat. When you take a bite, the aroma will linger on your lips and teeth.
Paired with the cool and sweet fruit wine, it feels so comfortable.
Of course, while having fun, Shiloh did not forget about business. After almost three rounds of drinking, Shiloh asked before the drunkenness hit his head.
"Rowan, after the ore is mined, how do you think we should trade?"
"His Highness will naturally make the decision on this important matter. All I have to do is obey your orders."
Hearing Rowan's words, Shiloh smiled and shook his head, saying: "What you said is too official and you should be punished."
"I have thought carefully about it these past few days, and I feel that it is important to open up business routes and carry out trade, but there is also some knowledge involved in choosing the objects of trade."
"The iron, copper, and even some other ores in our hands are a good business with huge profits no matter where they are sent."
"The key point is whether we have the ability to take over this business."
Hearing Shiloh's words, Rowan's eyes flickered slightly. Unlike Connor, who was born into a noble family and had people surrounding him since he was a child, he grew up like chasing stars and admiring the moon. Instead, he relied on his own abilities to get to where he is today step by step.
this position.
Although he looks rough, Luo Wen has an exquisite heart and can guess the meaning of Shiloh's words at a glance.
"Your Highness is worried that it will arouse the covetousness of some forces in the kingdom?"
Shiloh met Luo Wende's gaze and nodded silently.
"Rowan, you are also aware of the current situation on Hope Island. We have just established a foothold and lack strength. If we suddenly take out so much ore, we may arouse the greed of others."
"So in addition to the kingdom, I also need other trading partners, and even... support an agent."
"You have been making a living on a ship since you were a child. You have traveled back and forth to the Eastern and Western Continents. Let's talk about what other reliable trading partners we can find besides the Kingdom."
Rowan was silent for a few seconds, then reached out to empty the meat in front of him, then took a wine glass and placed it on the dining table.
"Your Highness, please take a look."
"This wine glass is the Gulf Stream island chain."
"Then...here..."
He took another silver plate and placed it a finger's distance above the wine glass.
"This is the Western Continent."
"It takes about three days of sailing north on the Gulf Stream Island Chain to reach the Western Continent, and the Kingdom of Pontos is on the Western Continent."
"To the north of the kingdom, there are uncivilized barbarians. These barbarians only know how to kill and plunder. It is extremely difficult to do business with them."
"To the west of the kingdom is the Desert Empire. The Desert Empire is famous for its minerals. The ores we have are not worth mentioning to them."
Shiloh frowned slightly and asked: "Is it true that only kingdoms in the entire Western Continent can trade?"
Rowan nodded and said: "Indeed, in the Western Continent, our best trading partner is the kingdom, but..."
"In addition to the western continent, we can also establish commercial ties with the eastern continent."
Saying this, Hilo picked up another wine bottle and placed it east of the wine glass representing the Gulf Stream Island Chain, almost an arm's length away.
"This is the Eastern Continent."
"The Eastern Continent is different from our Western Continent. Although there are dozens of kingdoms, large and small, they form a federation."
"That's the Free Federation."
"The Free Federation is powerful and better at doing business. Their businessmen have traveled all over the world."
"If we want to find the most ideal trading partner, then the Free Federation will be our best choice."
Shiloh nodded, quickly calculating the pros and cons in his mind.
"However...the eastern continent is far away. If we want to start trade with them, we face two major problems."
"First, it's distance."
"I have been to the Free Federation before. If you want to rush from the Western Continent to the Eastern Continent and drive a merchant ship at full speed, it will take at least about two months."
"The second thing is..."
While Rowan was speaking, there was a sudden commotion on the deck that interrupted his words. He frowned and was about to scold him when the closed door was opened.
"Boss!"
It was little Jack who walked in.
"What happened? You're so panicked! Why don't you apologize to His Highness!"
Little Jack hurriedly knelt down, then raised his head and said anxiously: "Your Highness, boss! The pilot found traces of the ship in the northeast!"
