The Governor's Office of the Circular Island.
Channing walked into the office as usual, threw the newspaper he bought on his desk, preparing to start a new day of drinking tea and reading newspapers.
However, as soon as he sat down on the chair, a pungent fishy smell made him frown involuntarily.
What does it taste like?
Why is it so smelly!
He got up and walked to the window. Channing planned to open the window for some breath, but just as he opened the window, a foul stinking blew into the house with the sea breeze.
He narrowed his eyes by the smell, and this time he finally figured out where this nose-burning smell came from.
He closed the window and walked to the office door with his nose pinched his nose and waved to the secretary in the next room to shout over.
Damn...what is the port doing?Why does it taste so big!
The secretary was obviously very frightened, and said helplessly in the face of the governor's questioning.
...The Northwest Wind cargo ship that just docked just now brought more than a thousand pieces of fur.
fur?!Channing looked at him blankly and said subconsciously, "How could the fur be so smelly?"!
The secretary said with a bitter face.
It was the kind that just peeled off from the alien species. Not only did the blood and oil not clean, but it also seemed that it had fermented for a period of time.
The skin just peeled from the alien?Channing glared at her eyes in surprise, where did they do it?
Thousands of freshly peeled fur...
That's not a small amount!
Although residents on the thirteen islands in the southern waters occasionally drive boats to hunt on the beaches south of Baiyue Province, even experienced hunters often dare not stay for too long. It is already amazing to get one or two prey back at most in one trip.
The main source of food for each island is the sea fish and farmed algae extracts, as well as the occasionally sold grains and livestock here from Silver Moon Bay.
He hasn't heard of any port that can produce so much fur
etc.
Channing suddenly thought of the alliance's station on the north coast of Baiyue Strait. Those people had previously sent greetings to the federal authorities of the South Islands through the radio station on the circular island in the name of French Fries Port.
He originally just treated those people as a joke, thinking that they would give up after not long, but he didn't expect that those people would have to bear it?!
As if confirming his speculation, the secretary swallowed.
I heard from the patrol that the Northwest Wind was located in the settlement at the east exit of the Baiyue Strait...it was imported from the French Fries Port.
Channing was silent for a while, and took a deep breath and said.
I see.
Looking at the governor who looked heavy and didn't know what he was thinking, the secretary nodded carefully and turned around to go back to his office next door.
But the moment he put his hand on the door handle, the door suddenly pushed open from outside, almost touching his nose.
Before he could see who was coming in, the aggressive voice blew in with the wind brought by the door panel.
Mr. Governor!We have to take care of that ship!
Looking at the man striding into the office, Channing, who was standing next to the desk, pressed his eyebrows and gave a wink at the secretary standing at the door.
Go and pour a cup of tea for Director Stilwell.
OK...sir.
The secretary nodded, glanced at the rude guy quickly, then turned around and walked out the door, and took the office door.
Seeing the door closed, Channing then looked at the angry director of the port office and said in a gentle tone.
You sit first
Don't waste time, the director named Stilwell waved his hand, interrupted him without hesitation, and continued aggressively, I don't understand why you are so tolerant to those guys!We are the settlement of the Southern Islands Federation, not the settlement of the Union!They can rub those furs on our port today and sell their butts under our noses tomorrow!
Channing coughed.
That shouldn't be... they've been following the rules so far.
Do you call this abide by the rules?Stilwell walked to the window and pointed to the two cargo ships outside the window and said angrily, "Now the entire port is filled with a rotten smell!"Those who don’t know thought it was a biological weapon sent to us by Shelter No. 70!
But there is indeed no regulation that the ships docked in the port cannot wash clothes on their deck... Seeing Director Stilwell staring at him directly, Channing felt that his statement was a bit far-fetched, so he coughed dryly and said, "Okay, a week... If the ship stays with us in a week and doesn't leave, I will give it an ultimatum."
You said so last week!Director Stilwell said without hesitation, Give them a week!You might as well be graceful until next month!
Channing's expression was also embarrassed when she was exposed in person without any mercy, and she was even more annoyed, but she could do nothing about it.
OK, I admit, I just worry about the league's reaction and dare not knock those guys away, but is there any problem with this?We are fighting with Shelter No. 70, and the current situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable to us. The old turtles will be fine once they close the door, and we have to be responsible for the food, drink, defecation and urination of millions of people!We also have to supply the federal Navy!If you offend those people now, do you know what it means?
Stilwell sneered.
Can they still call directly after more than two thousand kilometers?
Seeing this guy's indifferent expression, Channing also laughed.
I'm not kidding, they really have this ability, I heard that the guys in the north fell into the hands of those guys.
Looking at Director Stilwell who had begun to look unnatural, Channing grabbed the teacup on his desk and took a sip, moistening his throat and continued.
If I were them, there was no need to be such trouble. Just say hello to the Hump Kingdom and cut off the route from Silver Moon Bay to us. Guess how many people on this island have to drink the northwest wind?Are you sure I will take this risk to do something thankless?
Stilwell's mouth twitched.
Could it be that we just keep holding it up?
It’s no harm to be generous. Channing shrugged her shoulders, picked up the teacup and took a sip. Since they were paying the late payment fee according to the rules, we would let them keep it according to the rules. Anyway, they couldn’t stay there... Or do you have a better way?
There was no sound in the office for a while.
The director of the port office obviously could not think of a better way, and his lips moved for a long time without saying a word.
It happened that at this moment, the office door was pushed open, and the secretary who had gone out to make tea walked in from outside with a tray.
Mr. Stilwell, your tea.
Stilwell glanced at the teacup on the tray, then at the incompetent Governor, finally put his words back, and walked out of the office without saying anything.
He still felt that the Governor's Office of the Ring Island was too weak towards the Alliance.
But he also admitted that, as that guy said, facing the behemoth of the league, they really had no better way than to maintain restraint...
……
Time passes minute by minute.
The sun quickly turned from the east to the west, and then sank into the sea, leaving layers of shimmering golden on the blue waves in the distance.
The loaders and unloaders squatting on the dock were drinking beer while blowing the sea breeze, looking leisurely at the cargo ship with blood and grease not far away, and the busy girls on the deck of the cargo ship.
From around 4 pm, there was no smell on the pier.
Some of those women use mop brushes, some rub them with their hands, and some use them to scrape them with a knife to clean the fur.
Then they scooped up sea water from the sea one after another and poured it on the fur surface.
Under the erosion of buckets of sea water, the smelly minced meat and fat have been washed into the sea and become bait for the fish.
After rinsing the furs, the girls hung them on wooden sticks and arranged neatly on the deck like rows of sails.
Those sails became natural roadblocks.
A short-haired girl and a big white bear were running around the fur brackets, playing hide-and-seek with a group of laughing children.
Of course, they are not entirely adding difficulties to those who are busy drying their furs.
When I had to repeatedly beat the surface of the fur with a wooden stick before, the two live treasures put a lot of effort into it.
Looking at the one person and one bear who took the children to play hide-and-seek, many children's mothers showed a knowing smile on their faces.
I always feel like this picture hasn't been seen for a long time...
The other side of the deck.
Twenty girls, about fifteen or sixteen years old, rubbed buckets of sea-borne different oil on the inside of the fur under the guidance of an old woman.
The oils of these marine heterogeneous species are rich in a large amount of unsaturated fatty acids and will oxidize slowly in hot and humid environments. The resulting polymer will naturally wrap the collagen fibers in the inner layer of the fur, giving it a soft texture and excellent hydrophobicity. The produced aldehydes are crosslinked with other oxides and skin collagen fibers, thus creating a tanning effect.
The process steps for tanning fur are far more than these, and also include a series of processes such as alkaline water soaking, rinsing, etc.
However, after completing these tasks, the decay of the fur was basically stopped, and the value of these goods, which were originally worth only tens of thousands of silver coins, has increased by more than twice.
If you drag it all to Silver Moon Bay, a piece of goods can be sold at least 1,000 silver coins!One thousand pieces are one million!
This does not count the high-quality products such as blood minks included in it.
The royal family in the entire desert will go crazy about it!
However, although these furs are priceless, the attractiveness of the big men sitting on the dock is obviously not as good as that of the exotic girls.
Especially this kind of work that consumes a lot of water will inevitably make your clothes wet.
Many young men with strong energy were dry and their eyes were straight, and they could only fill beer one bottle after another.
Thanks to this, the business of the tavern next to the pier has improved a lot.
Are they from the Moon tribe?
Yes.
It seems to be no different from other people who come here from the Bharat Province.
By the way, the ship has been here for more than a week, and this is the first time I have seen them all stand on the deck.
I'm even more curious how so many people squeezed into the boat.
A young man with slightly curly hair scratched the back of his head and asked to look at his partner.
I still can't understand why the Xilan Empire... drove away these diligent girls?Can't I just give them a good job?
He had never seen such a hard-working person.
They can work from noon to evening in the scorching sun, whether it is a eleven or twelve-year-old girl or an elderly person.
This is simply difficult for the residents of the circular islanders with relatively affordable living conditions.
The slightly older man narrowed his eyes, picked up the beer bottle and took a sip, and said casually.
Who knows that there is wasteland outside the sea, the sea is the province of Haiya, the Baiyue, the Luoxia, and the Bharat Province... What's the matter with those guys on the wasteland thinking.
When he was young, he once went to the wasteland to escort the blue jacket of Sanctuary No. 70 to a place called Qingquan City to recycle what data.
Since then, he has lost interest in the world on land and has thoroughly understood why their ancestors had to move to this closed island.
That wasteland is simply hell.
No matter what happens, it's not worth wondering...
Just as the workers on the dock took advantage of the last minute of dusk and admired the beautiful scenery on the deck, Mogave, who was standing on the deck of the Northwest Wind cargo ship, was also looking straight, his heart beat faster, and he couldn't help but breathe rapidly.
But it was not the exotic girl who took away his attention, but the newly-fed fur!
The soft and beautiful hair swayed gently in the sunset, shining with dazzling light, and in his eyes it was like a shining gold coins!
Of course.
There must be exaggerated ingredients in this way. After all, most of the furs have only been initially cleaned, and it will take some time before the tanning is made into the final finished product.
But even so, these rubbed furs are much better than the original appearance of bloody and greasy appearance before!
It's simply amazing!Thanks!I really don't know how to thank you!
Mogave's face was filled with excitement and incoherent speech after handing the bag containing 110,000 silver coins to Sces.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most worthwhile deal he has done this month!
It seems that the league is not all unreliable guys.
After receiving the reward from the NPC, Sis opened the bag and counted it carefully, and took out a few to verify the authenticity.
After confirming that there was no problem, she smiled and replied in a teasing tone.
That's not simple, just pay us tens of thousands of silver coins.
Hearing this sentence, Mogave almost choked by his spit and coughed twice.
Cough... Although this idea sounds good, there is really no bill left in my pocket now.
He didn't believe his nonsense, Sce just smiled faintly, then handed the purse in his hand to the sesame paste beside him and whispered.
You go and hand over the remuneration to those people, and I won’t come forward.
Um!Leave it to me!Sesame nodded with a smile and jogged happily to the other side of the deck.
Mogave's eyes kept staring at the bulging purse until it disappeared into a corner of the deck with its thrilling back.
With a look back from a distance, he looked at Sce again and smiled embarrassedly.
By the way..., please ask me about the boat washing, don't forget.
Sis said with a faint smile.
Don't worry, my memory is not that bad.
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the cabin.
Looking at the back that was about to disappear at the door of the cabin, Mogave thought about it, and suddenly shouted in devilishness.
Hey, are you free in a while?
Looking at the man who stopped, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sunny smile from his face that did not match his temperament.
If you have time...how can you have a meal together?I treat you.
Looking at the NPC's funny expression and holding hands, Sce couldn't help but smile.
However, she didn't want to waste time on the completed sidelines, and the NPC's appearance was not very suitable for her taste, so she politely declined the invitation.
Thank you for your kindness, but I've eaten it.
All right……
After understanding the tactful rejection, Mogave embarrassingly put his raised hand back and scratched the back of his head. It was a pity... I remember there was a good restaurant here.
Although it feels frustrating to be rejected, this level of frustration is just a sesame size for a businessman like him.
Especially when he thought of the value of those furs, he immediately threw this insignificant regret on the back of his head and his confident smile regained his face.
He had no doubt that when he transported this batch of precious goods back to Yinyue Bay, his name would become the new legend of Yinyue City!
The noble ladies and ladies in the city will be crazy about the rare goods he brought back from the East!
In that port where you can enjoy the prosperity, what can’t be bought with money?
If there is
That only means that there are not enough!
……
Meanwhile, on the other side of the deck.
After crossing rows of fur-studded brackets, searching for sesame paste on the deck for a while, she finally found the grandmother Sang Ru who was teaching the experience of tanning fur to young people in the clan, and handed her the purse containing 110,000 silver coins.
However, what Sesame Mous did not expect was that when she told the old man happily that the silver coins were paid to them, the old woman looked at her with shock, and then she pushed the bag of money back into her hand without saying a word.
Take it away quickly, how can this make it!We should do these things within our ability. We are already grateful for your willingness to take in the homeless us, so how can we be embarrassed to take your money?
Looking at the grandmother Sang Ru who had obviously misunderstood something, Sesame Momo explained with a laugh and cry.
No, you misunderstood. This is not the reward we give you...it was paid by the cargo ship opposite.You helped them deal with these furs, which is the fruit of your labor
That won't work either!
The old man stubbornly stuffed the purse back into her hand, holding her hand tightly, as if she was afraid that she would let go, and said sincerely, even if you give us money, we don’t have any place to use it, so why not just put it there.If you need to buy something in the future, use this money first!We can trust you!
It’s not just Sang Ru’s mother-in-law.
The same was true for other moon girls nearby, begging her to take back the money, saying that she would not ask for the rewards no matter what.
It's Ah, please keep it for us!
We just want to do something for you, and never think about what kind of reward we need.
Never dealt with this situation, Sesame Paste was amused and crying for a while, looking at the stubborn people, I didn't know how to persuade them.
Just as Sesame Paste was in a dilemma, a very energetic voice suddenly penetrated from the side and relieved her.
oh!Don't worry, old man, this huge sum of money will soon have a chance to come in handy!
Hearing the loud sound, everyone looked in the direction where the sound came, and saw a tail with his hands on his hips standing there, with a fleshy man next to him.
Awei?Looking at the sudden appearance of tail, a surprised expression appeared on the sesame-smoked face.
He gave her a look of confidence to give it to me, and his tail looked at everyone around him, cleared his throat and continued.
Just now, my companions and I discussed it. It was really not good to stay in other people's ports.And there is a war here, so we may be involved one day.
It just so happened that our companions established a new settlement on the north shore of the Baiyue Strait, which was a vast and unlimited land where anyone could settle as long as they comply with the laws of the alliance!
Hearing this sentence, a whispering commotion spread across the crowd around him, exchanging surprise and confusion in their sights.
A vast and unlimited land?
But……
They heard that there was a world of alien species.
And will those who have settled there really accept them?
Seeing the concerns in everyone's eyes, Tail continued vigorously.
Don’t worry, although there are many alien species there, we are an alliance that even Qingquan City’s mother nest has defeated!Just a few alien species are not a problem, these furs were peeled off from those alien species!
Facts that can be seen with the naked eye are more convincing than all rumors.
Survivors of the Southern Islands Federation once withdrew from Baiyue Province, and the Kingdom of Oasis No. 4 also suffered a big blow there.
Those losers who were disappointed naturally spared no effort to describe the horror of Baiyue Province and the inconquering forest.
However, now, the players of French Fries Port not only have firmly established their footholds in that inconquering land, but also proved with facts that those savage and bloodthirsty aliens are not invincible.
Although most survivors here don't know what the situation is in Qingquan City's mother nest in Tail's mouth, they all stretched their eyebrows at the rows of furs peeled from the alien species around them.
At this moment, there is only one concern left in everyone's heart.
Will they... accept us?Hesitantly glanced at the port not far away, a girl of fifteen or sixteen walked out of the crowd and asked quietly as she looked at her tail.
oh!Of course!The tail gave her a thumbs up, gave her a positive look, and continued with a confident smile, "In fact, it was the survivors of the French Fries Harbor who invited us to settle in the past, and they promised to keep the settlement safe."
There are many powerful big shots out there, and it’s no problem to solve a few monsters, bosses, etc., but some basic work is still short of staff.Not only tanning fur, but also the salt fields near the port, as well as orchards to be built in the future... In short, there are so many places short of people!As long as you are willing to work, you can get paid like you are today and you can buy a lot of things!
Looking at the pair of gradually brighter eyes with longing and longing expressions written on them, a smile appeared on the corner of the tail's mouth.
Of course, everything there has just begun, the conditions are still very simple now, and it is definitely far from that of Ideal City... But the tail can assure you that everything will get better slowly!how?Are you willing to go there with Tail?
There were more and more people around, and the noise of increasing noise spread along the crowd.
Some people's eyes are full of expectations, but some people have expressions of nervousness and anxiety about changing the status quo.
Just when everyone was unsure of their minds, a firm voice suddenly came from the side.
I'm willing...I'll follow you!
The sound sounded familiar.
Sesame paste looked back subconsciously and saw Misa, who had a ponytail, looking at this side with a serious look on her face, and squeezed out the crowd and walked towards her side.
A hint of surprise rose on her face.
This was the first time she saw such a brave expression on the face of this shy girl.
Hearing the voice and taking over his words, Tail suddenly looked at the brave girl with a serious expression as if he had discovered a new world.
oh!Girl, you have to think clearly. Once you get on our pirate ship and our port, you can't go to Ideal City.
Is the ideal city...that is someone else's home.No matter how good it is, there is no place for us to be.
He turned his eyes to the port near Chi Chi and the fun-watching faces on the port, and a relieved smile appeared on Misa's face.
Compared to living a life of living under someone else's roof in the future, I still desire to have my own home more.Even if it is still very broken for the time being, it doesn’t matter. I am willing to accompany it to get better slowly.
After saying that, she turned around and looked at her compatriots around her, plucking up the courage to increase the volume.
Everyone...How long has it been since we lived in the sun like we are today!
Starting from the moment they moved into the concentration camp at Golden Gallon Port and were chosen by the buyer like animals.
Starting from the moment when the Xilan Empire used inexplicable reasons to deprive them all of their property and freedom.
The not-sensational voice resonated with countless people, including the respected grandmother Sang Ru, whose wrinkled face also showed a moving expression.
The old man walked forward tremblingly, stretched out his thin hand and held the child's hand, with a warm smile on his face.
Misa…You said something we all don’t know how to express, and I feel it has been hidden in my heart for a long time.
As she said that, she looked at the sesame paste and then at her tail, with gratitude and sincerity in her aging pupils.
I am willing to follow you to that settlement. If there is anything we can help in the future, please tell us!
Just as she finished speaking, more and more powerful voices came from all directions.
Me too!
Please bring us with you!
Looking at the energetic everyone, a touching light lit up in the sesame paste and pork's eyes, and his tail shouted excitedly.
oh!That was such a pleasant decision, the next stop at French Fries Port!Roast, let the boiler set sail soon!
Who is Captain Ah!
Don't care about these details!Hurry up!
Looking at the two live treasures that suddenly became riot, Sesame said with laughter and cry.
Wait, that... Do we have to help people wash the boat first before we set off? They have paid all the money.
The tail that was pushing the fleshy from behind suddenly stopped moving.
gia!I almost forgot.
Hahaha!
The happy laughter blew towards the endless sea with the sea breeze, blending into the gradually deeper night and the ups and downs.
Sis, who was staring at everyone from afar, held a note in his arms, couldn't help but show a soft smile on his face.
Although this place is undoubtedly wasteland.
But with these cute little friends around her, she always forgets this from time to time...
Turning back to the cabin.
Sis spread the notes on the table, took out the newspaper he bought from the port in the morning and spread them next to it, and selected the news worth paying attention to and cut them out.
The side quests of this game are hidden very deeply, and players need to actively collect relevant clues and analyze them in the game.
It is probably due to the 70th shelter. The media industry in the settlements of the Southern Islands is quite developed, and it is much easier to obtain information than when he was in Silver Moon Bay.
Not just to collect intelligence on side missions.
She also needs to use clues revealed in the news to determine the progress of the war situation in the southern waters and seize the opportunity to enter Shelter No. 70.
The place is now under the blockade of the Federal Navy of the Southern Islands. Not only are warships patrolling nearby waters, but submarines also performing search and mine laying underwater.
That's not a place where you can get into a casual suit.
After all, the Southern Islands Federation is a force built up by Shelter No. 70. According to her observations over the past period, these people are largely similar to the Alliance without players.
They ended the wasteland under their feet to a certain extent and established an order different from the settlements of most of the original ecological survivors on the wasteland.
However, due to various reasons, the members of Shelter No. 70 have separated from the local survivors, and their identities have changed from pioneers to high-ranking special classes, so they have reached a completely different ending from Camp No. 101.
But what puzzled her was that the trigger for igniting this war was too sloppy and full of all kinds of confusing doubts.
Not even just the trigger for war
It also includes some strange details in the battle report.
The survey ship of the Golden Coast sank... Good guy, they have so many ships.
Reading the text in the picture in a low voice, Sce cut it off the newspaper's headline page, posted it on a notebook, and lined up with three other pictures that were cut from other newspapers.
As she got up and walked to the chart, she drew a red circle as a mark on the northern waters of the Southern Islands based on the approximate location provided in the newspaper.
Add to the previous three, and all four red circles are concentrated in the north.
A thoughtful expression appeared on Sis's face.
It is already the fourth ship, and it is in the waters outside the trade channel as before...
Will there really be submarines lying in that kind of place?
Although there is no evidence, she always feels that she is very close to the truth...
Channing walked into the office as usual, threw the newspaper he bought on his desk, preparing to start a new day of drinking tea and reading newspapers.
However, as soon as he sat down on the chair, a pungent fishy smell made him frown involuntarily.
What does it taste like?
Why is it so smelly!
He got up and walked to the window. Channing planned to open the window for some breath, but just as he opened the window, a foul stinking blew into the house with the sea breeze.
He narrowed his eyes by the smell, and this time he finally figured out where this nose-burning smell came from.
He closed the window and walked to the office door with his nose pinched his nose and waved to the secretary in the next room to shout over.

The secretary was obviously very frightened, and said helplessly in the face of the governor's questioning.
...The Northwest Wind cargo ship that just docked just now brought more than a thousand pieces of fur.
fur?!Channing looked at him blankly and said subconsciously, "How could the fur be so smelly?"!
The secretary said with a bitter face.
It was the kind that just peeled off from the alien species. Not only did the blood and oil not clean, but it also seemed that it had fermented for a period of time.
The skin just peeled from the alien?Channing glared at her eyes in surprise, where did they do it?
Thousands of freshly peeled fur...
That's not a small amount!
Although residents on the thirteen islands in the southern waters occasionally drive boats to hunt on the beaches south of Baiyue Province, even experienced hunters often dare not stay for too long. It is already amazing to get one or two prey back at most in one trip.
The main source of food for each island is the sea fish and farmed algae extracts, as well as the occasionally sold grains and livestock here from Silver Moon Bay.
He hasn't heard of any port that can produce so much fur
etc.
Channing suddenly thought of the alliance's station on the north coast of Baiyue Strait. Those people had previously sent greetings to the federal authorities of the South Islands through the radio station on the circular island in the name of French Fries Port.
He originally just treated those people as a joke, thinking that they would give up after not long, but he didn't expect that those people would have to bear it?!
As if confirming his speculation, the secretary swallowed.
I heard from the patrol that the Northwest Wind was located in the settlement at the east exit of the Baiyue Strait...it was imported from the French Fries Port.
Channing was silent for a while, and took a deep breath and said.
I see.
Looking at the governor who looked heavy and didn't know what he was thinking, the secretary nodded carefully and turned around to go back to his office next door.
But the moment he put his hand on the door handle, the door suddenly pushed open from outside, almost touching his nose.

Looking at the man striding into the office, Channing, who was standing next to the desk, pressed his eyebrows and gave a wink at the secretary standing at the door.
Go and pour a cup of tea for Director Stilwell.

But there is indeed no regulation that the ships docked in the port cannot wash clothes on their deck... Seeing Director Stilwell staring at him directly, Channing felt that his statement was a bit far-fetched, so he coughed dryly and said, "Okay, a week... If the ship stays with us in a week and doesn't leave, I will give it an ultimatum."
You said so last week!Director Stilwell said without hesitation, Give them a week!You might as well be graceful until next month!
Channing's expression was also embarrassed when she was exposed in person without any mercy, and she was even more annoyed, but she could do nothing about it.
OK, I admit, I just worry about the league's reaction and dare not knock those guys away, but is there any problem with this?We are fighting with Shelter No. 70, and the current situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable to us. The old turtles will be fine once they close the door, and we have to be responsible for the food, drink, defecation and urination of millions of people!We also have to supply the federal Navy!If you offend those people now, do you know what it means?
Stilwell sneered.
Can they still call directly after more than two thousand kilometers?
Seeing this guy's indifferent expression, Channing also laughed.
I'm not kidding, they really have this ability, I heard that the guys in the north fell into the hands of those guys.
Looking at Director Stilwell who had begun to look unnatural, Channing grabbed the teacup on his desk and took a sip, moistening his throat and continued.
If I were them, there was no need to be such trouble. Just say hello to the Hump Kingdom and cut off the route from Silver Moon Bay to us. Guess how many people on this island have to drink the northwest wind?Are you sure I will take this risk to do something thankless?
Stilwell's mouth twitched.
Could it be that we just keep holding it up?
It’s no harm to be generous. Channing shrugged her shoulders, picked up the teacup and took a sip. Since they were paying the late payment fee according to the rules, we would let them keep it according to the rules. Anyway, they couldn’t stay there... Or do you have a better way?
There was no sound in the office for a while.
The director of the port office obviously could not think of a better way, and his lips moved for a long time without saying a word.
It happened that at this moment, the office door was pushed open, and the secretary who had gone out to make tea walked in from outside with a tray.
Mr. Stilwell, your tea.
Stilwell glanced at the teacup on the tray, then at the incompetent Governor, finally put his words back, and walked out of the office without saying anything.
He still felt that the Governor's Office of the Ring Island was too weak towards the Alliance.
But he also admitted that, as that guy said, facing the behemoth of the league, they really had no better way than to maintain restraint...
……
Time passes minute by minute.
The sun quickly turned from the east to the west, and then sank into the sea, leaving layers of shimmering golden on the blue waves in the distance.
The loaders and unloaders squatting on the dock were drinking beer while blowing the sea breeze, looking leisurely at the cargo ship with blood and grease not far away, and the busy girls on the deck of the cargo ship.
From around 4 pm, there was no smell on the pier.
Some of those women use mop brushes, some rub them with their hands, and some use them to scrape them with a knife to clean the fur.
Then they scooped up sea water from the sea one after another and poured it on the fur surface.
Under the erosion of buckets of sea water, the smelly minced meat and fat have been washed into the sea and become bait for the fish.
After rinsing the furs, the girls hung them on wooden sticks and arranged neatly on the deck like rows of sails.
Those sails became natural roadblocks.
A short-haired girl and a big white bear were running around the fur brackets, playing hide-and-seek with a group of laughing children.
Of course, they are not entirely adding difficulties to those who are busy drying their furs.
When I had to repeatedly beat the surface of the fur with a wooden stick before, the two live treasures put a lot of effort into it.
Looking at the one person and one bear who took the children to play hide-and-seek, many children's mothers showed a knowing smile on their faces.
I always feel like this picture hasn't been seen for a long time...
The other side of the deck.
Twenty girls, about fifteen or sixteen years old, rubbed buckets of sea-borne different oil on the inside of the fur under the guidance of an old woman.
The oils of these marine heterogeneous species are rich in a large amount of unsaturated fatty acids and will oxidize slowly in hot and humid environments. The resulting polymer will naturally wrap the collagen fibers in the inner layer of the fur, giving it a soft texture and excellent hydrophobicity. The produced aldehydes are crosslinked with other oxides and skin collagen fibers, thus creating a tanning effect.
The process steps for tanning fur are far more than these, and also include a series of processes such as alkaline water soaking, rinsing, etc.
However, after completing these tasks, the decay of the fur was basically stopped, and the value of these goods, which were originally worth only tens of thousands of silver coins, has increased by more than twice.
If you drag it all to Silver Moon Bay, a piece of goods can be sold at least 1,000 silver coins!One thousand pieces are one million!
This does not count the high-quality products such as blood minks included in it.
The royal family in the entire desert will go crazy about it!
However, although these furs are priceless, the attractiveness of the big men sitting on the dock is obviously not as good as that of the exotic girls.
Especially this kind of work that consumes a lot of water will inevitably make your clothes wet.
Many young men with strong energy were dry and their eyes were straight, and they could only fill beer one bottle after another.
Thanks to this, the business of the tavern next to the pier has improved a lot.
Are they from the Moon tribe?
Yes.
It seems to be no different from other people who come here from the Bharat Province.
By the way, the ship has been here for more than a week, and this is the first time I have seen them all stand on the deck.
I'm even more curious how so many people squeezed into the boat.
A young man with slightly curly hair scratched the back of his head and asked to look at his partner.
I still can't understand why the Xilan Empire... drove away these diligent girls?Can't I just give them a good job?
He had never seen such a hard-working person.
They can work from noon to evening in the scorching sun, whether it is a eleven or twelve-year-old girl or an elderly person.
This is simply difficult for the residents of the circular islanders with relatively affordable living conditions.
The slightly older man narrowed his eyes, picked up the beer bottle and took a sip, and said casually.
Who knows that there is wasteland outside the sea, the sea is the province of Haiya, the Baiyue, the Luoxia, and the Bharat Province... What's the matter with those guys on the wasteland thinking.
When he was young, he once went to the wasteland to escort the blue jacket of Sanctuary No. 70 to a place called Qingquan City to recycle what data.
Since then, he has lost interest in the world on land and has thoroughly understood why their ancestors had to move to this closed island.
That wasteland is simply hell.
No matter what happens, it's not worth wondering...
Just as the workers on the dock took advantage of the last minute of dusk and admired the beautiful scenery on the deck, Mogave, who was standing on the deck of the Northwest Wind cargo ship, was also looking straight, his heart beat faster, and he couldn't help but breathe rapidly.
But it was not the exotic girl who took away his attention, but the newly-fed fur!
The soft and beautiful hair swayed gently in the sunset, shining with dazzling light, and in his eyes it was like a shining gold coins!
Of course.
There must be exaggerated ingredients in this way. After all, most of the furs have only been initially cleaned, and it will take some time before the tanning is made into the final finished product.
But even so, these rubbed furs are much better than the original appearance of bloody and greasy appearance before!
It's simply amazing!Thanks!I really don't know how to thank you!
Mogave's face was filled with excitement and incoherent speech after handing the bag containing 110,000 silver coins to Sces.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most worthwhile deal he has done this month!
It seems that the league is not all unreliable guys.
After receiving the reward from the NPC, Sis opened the bag and counted it carefully, and took out a few to verify the authenticity.
After confirming that there was no problem, she smiled and replied in a teasing tone.
That's not simple, just pay us tens of thousands of silver coins.
Hearing this sentence, Mogave almost choked by his spit and coughed twice.
Cough... Although this idea sounds good, there is really no bill left in my pocket now.
He didn't believe his nonsense, Sce just smiled faintly, then handed the purse in his hand to the sesame paste beside him and whispered.
You go and hand over the remuneration to those people, and I won’t come forward.
Um!Leave it to me!Sesame nodded with a smile and jogged happily to the other side of the deck.
Mogave's eyes kept staring at the bulging purse until it disappeared into a corner of the deck with its thrilling back.
With a look back from a distance, he looked at Sce again and smiled embarrassedly.
By the way..., please ask me about the boat washing, don't forget.
Sis said with a faint smile.
Don't worry, my memory is not that bad.
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the cabin.
Looking at the back that was about to disappear at the door of the cabin, Mogave thought about it, and suddenly shouted in devilishness.
Hey, are you free in a while?
Looking at the man who stopped, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sunny smile from his face that did not match his temperament.
If you have time...how can you have a meal together?I treat you.
Looking at the NPC's funny expression and holding hands, Sce couldn't help but smile.
However, she didn't want to waste time on the completed sidelines, and the NPC's appearance was not very suitable for her taste, so she politely declined the invitation.
Thank you for your kindness, but I've eaten it.
All right……
After understanding the tactful rejection, Mogave embarrassingly put his raised hand back and scratched the back of his head. It was a pity... I remember there was a good restaurant here.
Although it feels frustrating to be rejected, this level of frustration is just a sesame size for a businessman like him.
Especially when he thought of the value of those furs, he immediately threw this insignificant regret on the back of his head and his confident smile regained his face.
He had no doubt that when he transported this batch of precious goods back to Yinyue Bay, his name would become the new legend of Yinyue City!
The noble ladies and ladies in the city will be crazy about the rare goods he brought back from the East!
In that port where you can enjoy the prosperity, what can’t be bought with money?
If there is
That only means that there are not enough!
……
Meanwhile, on the other side of the deck.
After crossing rows of fur-studded brackets, searching for sesame paste on the deck for a while, she finally found the grandmother Sang Ru who was teaching the experience of tanning fur to young people in the clan, and handed her the purse containing 110,000 silver coins.
However, what Sesame Mous did not expect was that when she told the old man happily that the silver coins were paid to them, the old woman looked at her with shock, and then she pushed the bag of money back into her hand without saying a word.
Take it away quickly, how can this make it!We should do these things within our ability. We are already grateful for your willingness to take in the homeless us, so how can we be embarrassed to take your money?
Looking at the grandmother Sang Ru who had obviously misunderstood something, Sesame Momo explained with a laugh and cry.
No, you misunderstood. This is not the reward we give you...it was paid by the cargo ship opposite.You helped them deal with these furs, which is the fruit of your labor
That won't work either!
The old man stubbornly stuffed the purse back into her hand, holding her hand tightly, as if she was afraid that she would let go, and said sincerely, even if you give us money, we don’t have any place to use it, so why not just put it there.If you need to buy something in the future, use this money first!We can trust you!
It’s not just Sang Ru’s mother-in-law.
The same was true for other moon girls nearby, begging her to take back the money, saying that she would not ask for the rewards no matter what.
It's Ah, please keep it for us!
We just want to do something for you, and never think about what kind of reward we need.
Never dealt with this situation, Sesame Paste was amused and crying for a while, looking at the stubborn people, I didn't know how to persuade them.
Just as Sesame Paste was in a dilemma, a very energetic voice suddenly penetrated from the side and relieved her.
oh!Don't worry, old man, this huge sum of money will soon have a chance to come in handy!
Hearing the loud sound, everyone looked in the direction where the sound came, and saw a tail with his hands on his hips standing there, with a fleshy man next to him.
Awei?Looking at the sudden appearance of tail, a surprised expression appeared on the sesame-smoked face.
He gave her a look of confidence to give it to me, and his tail looked at everyone around him, cleared his throat and continued.
Just now, my companions and I discussed it. It was really not good to stay in other people's ports.And there is a war here, so we may be involved one day.
It just so happened that our companions established a new settlement on the north shore of the Baiyue Strait, which was a vast and unlimited land where anyone could settle as long as they comply with the laws of the alliance!
Hearing this sentence, a whispering commotion spread across the crowd around him, exchanging surprise and confusion in their sights.
A vast and unlimited land?
But……
They heard that there was a world of alien species.
And will those who have settled there really accept them?
Seeing the concerns in everyone's eyes, Tail continued vigorously.
Don’t worry, although there are many alien species there, we are an alliance that even Qingquan City’s mother nest has defeated!Just a few alien species are not a problem, these furs were peeled off from those alien species!
Facts that can be seen with the naked eye are more convincing than all rumors.
Survivors of the Southern Islands Federation once withdrew from Baiyue Province, and the Kingdom of Oasis No. 4 also suffered a big blow there.
Those losers who were disappointed naturally spared no effort to describe the horror of Baiyue Province and the inconquering forest.
However, now, the players of French Fries Port not only have firmly established their footholds in that inconquering land, but also proved with facts that those savage and bloodthirsty aliens are not invincible.
Although most survivors here don't know what the situation is in Qingquan City's mother nest in Tail's mouth, they all stretched their eyebrows at the rows of furs peeled from the alien species around them.
At this moment, there is only one concern left in everyone's heart.
Will they... accept us?Hesitantly glanced at the port not far away, a girl of fifteen or sixteen walked out of the crowd and asked quietly as she looked at her tail.
oh!Of course!The tail gave her a thumbs up, gave her a positive look, and continued with a confident smile, "In fact, it was the survivors of the French Fries Harbor who invited us to settle in the past, and they promised to keep the settlement safe."
There are many powerful big shots out there, and it’s no problem to solve a few monsters, bosses, etc., but some basic work is still short of staff.Not only tanning fur, but also the salt fields near the port, as well as orchards to be built in the future... In short, there are so many places short of people!As long as you are willing to work, you can get paid like you are today and you can buy a lot of things!
Looking at the pair of gradually brighter eyes with longing and longing expressions written on them, a smile appeared on the corner of the tail's mouth.
Of course, everything there has just begun, the conditions are still very simple now, and it is definitely far from that of Ideal City... But the tail can assure you that everything will get better slowly!how?Are you willing to go there with Tail?
There were more and more people around, and the noise of increasing noise spread along the crowd.
Some people's eyes are full of expectations, but some people have expressions of nervousness and anxiety about changing the status quo.
Just when everyone was unsure of their minds, a firm voice suddenly came from the side.
I'm willing...I'll follow you!
The sound sounded familiar.
Sesame paste looked back subconsciously and saw Misa, who had a ponytail, looking at this side with a serious look on her face, and squeezed out the crowd and walked towards her side.
A hint of surprise rose on her face.
This was the first time she saw such a brave expression on the face of this shy girl.
Hearing the voice and taking over his words, Tail suddenly looked at the brave girl with a serious expression as if he had discovered a new world.
oh!Girl, you have to think clearly. Once you get on our pirate ship and our port, you can't go to Ideal City.
Is the ideal city...that is someone else's home.No matter how good it is, there is no place for us to be.
He turned his eyes to the port near Chi Chi and the fun-watching faces on the port, and a relieved smile appeared on Misa's face.
Compared to living a life of living under someone else's roof in the future, I still desire to have my own home more.Even if it is still very broken for the time being, it doesn’t matter. I am willing to accompany it to get better slowly.
After saying that, she turned around and looked at her compatriots around her, plucking up the courage to increase the volume.
Everyone...How long has it been since we lived in the sun like we are today!
Starting from the moment they moved into the concentration camp at Golden Gallon Port and were chosen by the buyer like animals.
Starting from the moment when the Xilan Empire used inexplicable reasons to deprive them all of their property and freedom.
The not-sensational voice resonated with countless people, including the respected grandmother Sang Ru, whose wrinkled face also showed a moving expression.
The old man walked forward tremblingly, stretched out his thin hand and held the child's hand, with a warm smile on his face.
Misa…You said something we all don’t know how to express, and I feel it has been hidden in my heart for a long time.
As she said that, she looked at the sesame paste and then at her tail, with gratitude and sincerity in her aging pupils.
I am willing to follow you to that settlement. If there is anything we can help in the future, please tell us!
Just as she finished speaking, more and more powerful voices came from all directions.
Me too!
Please bring us with you!
Looking at the energetic everyone, a touching light lit up in the sesame paste and pork's eyes, and his tail shouted excitedly.
oh!That was such a pleasant decision, the next stop at French Fries Port!Roast, let the boiler set sail soon!
Who is Captain Ah!
Don't care about these details!Hurry up!
Looking at the two live treasures that suddenly became riot, Sesame said with laughter and cry.
Wait, that... Do we have to help people wash the boat first before we set off? They have paid all the money.
The tail that was pushing the fleshy from behind suddenly stopped moving.
gia!I almost forgot.
Hahaha!
The happy laughter blew towards the endless sea with the sea breeze, blending into the gradually deeper night and the ups and downs.
Sis, who was staring at everyone from afar, held a note in his arms, couldn't help but show a soft smile on his face.
Although this place is undoubtedly wasteland.
But with these cute little friends around her, she always forgets this from time to time...
Turning back to the cabin.
Sis spread the notes on the table, took out the newspaper he bought from the port in the morning and spread them next to it, and selected the news worth paying attention to and cut them out.
The side quests of this game are hidden very deeply, and players need to actively collect relevant clues and analyze them in the game.
It is probably due to the 70th shelter. The media industry in the settlements of the Southern Islands is quite developed, and it is much easier to obtain information than when he was in Silver Moon Bay.
Not just to collect intelligence on side missions.
She also needs to use clues revealed in the news to determine the progress of the war situation in the southern waters and seize the opportunity to enter Shelter No. 70.
The place is now under the blockade of the Federal Navy of the Southern Islands. Not only are warships patrolling nearby waters, but submarines also performing search and mine laying underwater.
That's not a place where you can get into a casual suit.
After all, the Southern Islands Federation is a force built up by Shelter No. 70. According to her observations over the past period, these people are largely similar to the Alliance without players.
They ended the wasteland under their feet to a certain extent and established an order different from the settlements of most of the original ecological survivors on the wasteland.
However, due to various reasons, the members of Shelter No. 70 have separated from the local survivors, and their identities have changed from pioneers to high-ranking special classes, so they have reached a completely different ending from Camp No. 101.
But what puzzled her was that the trigger for igniting this war was too sloppy and full of all kinds of confusing doubts.
Not even just the trigger for war
It also includes some strange details in the battle report.
The survey ship of the Golden Coast sank... Good guy, they have so many ships.
Reading the text in the picture in a low voice, Sce cut it off the newspaper's headline page, posted it on a notebook, and lined up with three other pictures that were cut from other newspapers.
As she got up and walked to the chart, she drew a red circle as a mark on the northern waters of the Southern Islands based on the approximate location provided in the newspaper.
Add to the previous three, and all four red circles are concentrated in the north.
A thoughtful expression appeared on Sis's face.
It is already the fourth ship, and it is in the waters outside the trade channel as before...
Will there really be submarines lying in that kind of place?
Although there is no evidence, she always feels that she is very close to the truth...
