Chapter 14 Set sail
South Hoplane.
Although it has experienced the chaos some time ago, after the establishment of the New Velgar Alliance, it has become more prosperous than in the past. After separation from the Frost Rose, it has become a place where trade between the two sides meets, and there are more ships coming and going.
Because the Carites Chamber of Commerce is an advocate of the new alliance, it has gained more seats and benefits in the alliance. At the same time, because of Lorran Hill's proposal, the alliance will use more income for basic public welfare undertakings, such as building schools, roads, hospitals, etc.
At first, due to the detailed plan left by Lolan Hill, we basically followed the instructions, but we inevitably encountered some problems in daily life. When these problems need to be solved by ourselves, we also had to bear the important responsibilities. At this time, everyone began to miss the young lady, but they could not, so they could only learn to solve them slowly.
Although you can constantly explore and negotiate business issues by yourself, the lack of high-level strength and backbone has slightly reduced the voice of the Carites Chamber of Commerce after Loran Hill left. The overall strength of the Chamber of Commerce is indeed very strong, but there is a lack of a person who can control the overall situation and integrate it.
Ceres is in the Southern Islands for retirement. Although Chelsea has experienced a seniority, it is not suitable to be a leader. Other senior executives and leaders of the three major fleets are always there. Many other managers and workshop executives have also been promoted by Lolan Hill recently. They are all capable people. They are a little dissatisfied with those who are mediocre but have experienced a seniority. But they also think that everyone is similar. Why do you stand on my head?
If you really want to discipline this group of talents, only when Lolan Hill is there can they be convinced.
In this way, in major events, senior officials of the Chamber of Commerce had to hold a voting system, and sometimes even asked Chelsea to send a letter to Lorran Hill to inquire about the final decision.
In the early morning, the snow had slowly melted at the port. Only some of the ropes wrapped around the dock still had a small amount of snow left. Sea boats were docking at the port, some were unloading, and some were preparing to sail.
At the port, some passengers preparing to take the boat are lined up. Since there is no peace in the near future, they need to verify their identity and register when entering and leaving the port.
"Name?"
In the hut beside the port, a recorder was wearing a warm hat, holding a pen in his hand, and a stack of tables in front of him. He asked, "The fire inside was very burning, and there were still many people waiting outside."
"Bad." A young man, who was not tall, replied that his skin was a little dark. Although he was not old, he also had many calluses left after work. He looked like a person who could endure hardships, although he looked ugly.
"Where are you going?" the recorder looked up and asked the person who performed official duties.
"Nideshire in the west wind." The boy said this somewhat strange word.
"It's not called the west wind now, it's Clancia. It's a bit far away when you go there. Even if you take a boat to the northern port, you have to pass through the Fengxi wilderness and some mountains and forests." The recorder asked suspiciously.
"Well, I have prepared food and money." The boy shook his heavy burden and replied in a simple voice.
"The point I'm talking about is not this. Oh, forget it, do you have any guarantees?"
"Some." The boy carefully took out an envelope from his arms. The exquisite envelope seemed to be extremely inconsistent with his worn clothes.
"So cute." The recorder took it and opened it, pulled out the paper, and the patterns on it were also revealed.
"The emblem of the Carites Chamber of Commerce is very powerful. Let me see which adult is guaranteeing you...Law...Miss Loran Hill."
The recorder raised his head in shock. He recorded thousands of people traveling by boat here this month. This is the first time he saw the young lady’s handwritten guarantee letter. This guy looks so poor, how could he have a relationship with that adult?
He was really puzzled, but the stamp and text on the guarantee letter could not be fake. He had worked in the Alliance Guild before, so he naturally had a very good understanding of the authenticity of this kind of thing.
"I really can't see it." He sighed, and then put away his previous casual attitude, focused on filling out the form, and then asked Bud if he needed any help. The north is now in chaos, so it is not safe to go there. Should he find some big caravans and set off with the team.
Bard said no, he was not worried about his safety, and then took the sign given by the record officer and went to the port to prepare to board the ship.
The port is busy, with some ships unloading, some ships loading, and some ships repairing and checking. Some customers sit and wait by the port.
The boat Bud was still loading his stuff. He could board the ship later. He found an old pier, wiped off the snow on it and sat down. Anyway, this little moisture would not wet his thick pants, and he was also very strong and would not catch a cold.
"Is it Bud?" At this time, a voice came from the side. The boy turned his head and saw a young man carrying a long box.
"It's really you, I almost couldn't recognize you. I'm Lavoisier. I'm the apprentice of the alchemy workshop near the restaurant you worked for. I used to go there for dinner."
"It's you." Bard then recalled that the alchemist was wealthy and ordered white bread every time and ate very well.
"You resigned later. I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Well, I went to the brewery to work for a while later."
"That's it, alas, a lot of things have happened recently." Lavoisier sighed before asking.
"Are you going back to your hometown?"
"No, I'm going to my friend's hometown to see it."
"Do you visit friends? That's great. I can't do it anymore. I don't have many friends, and the teacher is no longer here."
"If you don't have friends, just spend time with your family. It's better to be able to spend more time together." Bard felt a little touched.
"But I don't have family either. When I was a child, I was an orphan. At that time, I almost starved to death on the street. If the tutor hadn't saved me, I probably wouldn't have been considered alone."
Speaking of this, he seemed to have opened up and continued to express some of his recent emotions.
"The tutor treats us apprentices very well. Most of us have poor families, but the tutor rarely lets us suffer. He said that enduring hardship is not a good thing. If you eat too much, you will become inferior."
"Then your mentor is pretty good."
"Is it good..."
Speaking of this, the young man showed a bitter smile. In order to succeed in the final experiment, the instructor used their apprentices as materials to extract souls to transform the golem just to improve the efficiency and autonomy of the golem.
If it weren't for his turn that the golem had been completed, he might have died too.
"Actually, the tutor's kindness to us is not pure." He paused for a while before continuing.
"But I can't hate him either. After all, he raised me and allowed me to survive."
"Forget it, let him go."
The two chatted for a few more simple words, but unfortunately Bud didn't talk much and boarded the ship after a while.
Lavoisier watched the boat he was going to take to open the deck and walked over.
A staff member asked before the deck.
“What are you carrying on your back?”
"This, this is the alchemy creature left to me by my mentor." He thought for a while and replied.
"Can you open it and check it out?"
"Yes." After saying that, Lavoisier opened the long wooden box and a golden sword was revealed. The sword body had exquisite magic patterns, which allowed it to fly in the air and was extremely sharp.
"You are a weapon, you can't take it on the boat."
The staff shook their heads and refused, and looked at him vigilantly.
"This is really a treasure left to me by the teacher, and I want to bring it with me."
Lavoisier was a little distressed, and then kept begging, but unfortunately the staff just refused, and the two of them stalemate on the deck in front of the boat.
"What's going on? It's been so long?" A sharp voice like a knife came from the ship.
"Sir Geld, sorry, this passenger wants to board the ship with weapons." The staff replied in panic.
"Let me see." Geld pressed the sword and walked down from the boat, looked at Watson and the sword, and after a while he spoke.
"Do you still have this thing?" He seemed to have something in his words.
"Yes." Looking at the big man from the Helis family, Lavoisier nodded.
"Don't you hate it?"
"I hate my weakness even more, I can't do anything to do."
"The creator of this sword has failed. Why do you still have to go this way and study other things, isn't it good?"
"Although the tutor failed, it does not mean everything. I think there is still some value in it."
"The tutor is too dependent on external objects, and the master who defeated the tutor also made me realize that instead of distracting my energy, it is better to concentrate on one thing."
"for example?"
"For example, it's this sword. The only thing that hurts that adult is this golden sword. If the sword can be faster, sharper and tougher."
“Is this your philosophy?”
"Yes, as long as my sword is fast and powerful, I can ignore those sluts."
"That's it." Geld seemed to resonate with him and spoke.
"Let him go up."
"Thank you, sir." Lavoisier thanked happily, and then boarded the boat.
After the young man boarded the ship, the staff asked carefully.
"Sir, that sword should be the creation of the Rurn alchemist. With our relationship with Frost Rose, do you have to pay more attention to the boat?
"It's okay, that's a poor person." Geld recalled the information and things that the guild had searched in the alchemy workshop later, shook his head, saying that he didn't have to worry, and then boarded the boat.
"Set sails and set sail!"
With the call, the sails of the entire fleet were pulled up, and at the same time the Helis family's yellow and green camellia logo was raised.
They will sail south, transfer to the archipelago in the south, and then follow the ocean currents to the east, heading to another distant continent in the east, and docking in Longquan Bay, where is the Dragon-protective Kingdom, the Porcelain Dynasty, which occupies the entire eastern continent.
