At noon, Allen took Sean to the Xiangdi Bora Sea Restaurant. This is a special restaurant. The owner of the restaurant uses several medium-sized sails to connect them with chains and fix them on the bay to form a floating platform. Some redundant components on the ship were removed to keep the site spacious enough. After setting up the sunshade and other necessary facilities, it became such a distinctive restaurant on the sea.
The bottom of the restaurant, which is the belly of the ship, has even been transformed into an elegant room to meet the special needs of some guests.
Roger booked a good location in the restaurant, where you can see more than half of the Gull Strait. When the sea breeze rises, the water platform will rise and fall slightly with the waves. When you close your eyes, you will be suspicious that you are already above the blue sky and blue sea.
&!Pig!Pig!Island!Novel.zuzudo.nbsp;When Allen arrived, Roger, who was the initiator, was already there. He smiled and greeted him: "Long time no see, Mr. Allen, you look good."
"Mr. Roger's spirit is also very good." Allen replied.
After they were seated, they chatted for a while, and then guests came one after another. After Ellen, Jessica, the young Lily Chamber of Commerce president, arrived. Then there are two elderly people who are getting older, just by looking at their clothes, they know that they have a lot to come. Seeing all the guests were present, Roger snapped his fingers. In less than a minute, a variety of exquisite dishes, quite local seafood sashimi and the restaurant's own fruit wine were presented one by one, covering a huge table.
After the dishes were all ready, Roger stood up and toasted: "Come on, everyone here today is my friend. Today we have a rare opportunity to get together. I take this opportunity to introduce this young gentleman to you. ."
He looked at Allen and smiled: "I believe everyone in this room has received the news. That's right. Sir Maud of Storm City has fallen. Now it is the young and promising Ai in our seat who manages Storm City instead of Sir Sir. Mr. Lun. I suggest that everyone toast him."
Several people raised their glasses to salute, and Allen would not shirk himself and drank to the end.
Next, Roger focused on introducing the two old men to Allen. They were sitting on the left and right sides of Jessica, with the ruddy complexion on the left, Reese with a smile on his face and half-closed eyes. To Allen's surprise, this seemingly friendly old man was the boss of three mercenary groups. The Ranger regiment drawn through the Association of Adventurers is one of the mercenary regiments under Reese.
In addition to the Ranger regiment, Reese also has a trident that is good at naval battles, and the Hundred Wars Corps, which is employed by various business groups throughout the year and is responsible for protection.
Reese smiled and waited for Roger to finish introducing himself. He turned a ring inlaid with emeralds on his finger and said: "Hansen mentioned you to me when he came back. In his words, your tactics for defeating Storm City It's amazing."
"Thank you," Allen said modestly.
Roger introduced another, an old man named Felos, who was the vice president of the Iron Flag Chamber of Commerce. The Iron Banner Chamber of Commerce is engaged in the trading of weapons and equipment, as well as copper, iron and other weapons raw materials. Among them, guns are their main business. Felos was very thin, his thin face was almost stuck to the bones, he didn't like to laugh, and looked like a newly unearthed mummy.
Regarding Roger's introduction, Fellows just nodded, but didn't say anything more.
Finally speaking of Jessica, Roger smiled and said,
As for this beautiful lady, I don’t need to bother with it. You two have known each other a long time ago.
"Our Lily Chamber of Commerce is very happy to cooperate with people like Mr. Allen, and I believe that we will cooperate very happily." Jessica raised her glass with pleasure.
"Come on, eat some food." Roger did not forget his role as the host, pushing the atmosphere on the table at the right time.
After tasting a few local seafood, Roger's voice came in Allen's ear.
"Now that Storm City has basically stabilized, I don't know what Mr. Allen has plans for next?"
Finally got to the point, Allen thought. He glanced at everyone in the seat, including the expressionless Felos, these people all showed subtle expressions, obviously they also want to know Alan's answer.
Allen smiled faintly, and said: "Storm City is rich in copper and iron. Those two veins can produce a lot of equipment materials every year. I don't intend to waste it. Now, a weapon workshop is under construction. I plan to gather blacksmiths from the two cities and devote myself to the development and production of weapons and equipment in the coming days."
"I don't know which way to lean?" Reese straightened up slightly and asked.
"When the studio was built, it would be more inclined to equipment such as swords and armor. After all, they are in greater demand. But my ultimate goal is to have the ability to produce firearms and equipment. For example, continuous fire/gun... …"
The atmosphere on the table was obviously frozen.
"Burst fire/gun?" Fellows sneered: "Mr. Allen is a layman after all, so naturally he doesn't know that even the imperial royal workshop cannot produce a burst fire/gun at this time. However, it is not feasible to apply the principle of burst artillery to firearms. Every time the same component is reduced, the accuracy requirement needs to be increased tenfold. The problems that follow, such as rifling, ammunition, etc. A difficult problem to overcome. If the burst fire/gun is really so easy to produce, the main force of the empire will not still use the flintlock fire/gun."
Allen shrugged his shoulders and said freely: "I can't make it now, it doesn't mean it won't work in the future. It's like flintlock/gun. If it were placed a hundred years ago, then people probably didn't think they could make such a weapon. ?"
Fellows was so speechless that he had to snorted and silently picked up his glass and drank himself.
Roger and Reese exchanged glances, and the latter grinned and said: "Let's not say whether you can produce bursts of fire/guns. Just with this aggressive mindset, Mr. Allen is impressive. We. Although the mercenary group now has fire/gun configuration, it still mainly uses cold weapons. If the weapon workshop in Storm City has the ability to mass-produce swords and equipment, I hope that Mr. Allen can sell it to us at a more favorable price ."
"Of course." Allen said.
Roger smiled and said: "The Iron Flag Chamber of Commerce focuses on equipment sales. You don't have to be close and farther away when you want to come. You can place an order directly at the workshop in Storm City."
Hearing this, Felos responded indifferently: "That may not be possible. Our Chamber of Commerce has a long-term cooperation agreement with several weapons dealers. We can't just change it."
"It's a pity that our Lily Chamber of Commerce does not do business in equipment, but the fabrics Mr. Allen provided last time sold well. I hope that Sur City can continue to develop new fabrics."
"On this point, Mr. Sean will follow up." Allen said: "And in terms of fabric production, I have other ideas. If we can cooperate with the Lily Chamber of Commerce, we can introduce excellent design talents. Upgrade the textile factory to a manufacturing system. If a garment factory sells ready-made clothes directly to various places, will the profits be higher than that of pure fabrics?"
Jessica's eyes lit up and nodded and said: "I have had this idea before. It seems that I can talk to Mr. Sean afterwards."
She did business simply, and had an appointment with Sean at the moment. Allen looked at Roger at this time and said: "Mr. Roger's business group should go to a lot of places. I don't know where the Yinou Strait leads to. Mr. Roger can tell me about it."
Roger showed a deep smile, the former weapon workshop, now inquiring about the world outside the Yinou Strait. Allen has revealed a lot of information, which shows that the young knight in front of him is by no means content to dominate this border land. He looked at the bay outside the restaurant and said: "Starting from the Silver Gull Strait, we can arrive at Ark Harbor after a one-month water journey."
"Ark Harbor?"
"Yes, that is also a port city. Entering Ark Port is equivalent to entering the inland of the imperial territory. Ark Port is famous for its shipbuilding industry, and most of the sailboats and hybrid ships we use come from Ark Port. A kind of tin boat is being developed. The hull of that kind of boat is more sturdy and can withstand wind and waves, allowing our adventurers to explore more far-reaching worlds." At this point, Roger looked leisurely and fascinated.
"If you don't take the waterway, you can pass through the south of Violet Harbor from the wild highlands, and you can also reach the hinterland of the empire." Reese added: "It's just that the wild highlands are not very flat. There are dangerous cliffs, wild forests, and forests everywhere. Evil beasts, full of blood and chaos. Compared with the blood rock wasteland, it is simply a pediatric. Few people are willing to cross the wild highlands~EbookFREE.me~ although it only takes about two weeks to cross the highlands. People would rather choose the waterway. , After all, it’s safer. And if you're lucky, you will encounter naga murlocs at sea, they are all beautiful and alien species."
Ellen was drinking fruit wine when he heard the word Naga murloc and almost squirted the wine. He wondered if he had heard it wrong, and asked, "The kind of murlocs you are talking about are all female. The body is covered with purple soft scales and the body is boneless, right?"
Reese laughed: "Yes, that's right. It seems that Mr. Allen has also heard of the beauty of the Naga murloc. An adult murloc can sell for up to 100,000 gold coins in the empire. . Of course, no man is willing to give her a hand because of the Murloc."
As a result, several men at the dining table smirked, and even Felos had a faint smile on his lips. Allen was smiling, but shocked in his heart. The so-called naga murlocs that Reese said was clearly the soft bone naga he had seen at the Babylonian slave auction. It's just that the Naga people have always lived on one of the planets in the Rudson star field. Why are there Naga people in this world?
Originally, Allen thought that the aborigines of this world were humans, but until now, did he know that besides humans, there are other intelligent life on this planet. This strange planet is slowly unveiling its mysterious veil to Allen.
