Chapter 28 Return to Town

Popot pulled out a grass-green linen braid from somewhere.

"Elf's items?" Kana was a little surprised.

This grass-green linen braid has a distinct elven weaving style, and elven items are always easy to identify.

Of course there are many imitations.

"You have a good eye." Bobot praised, shaking the braid in his hand and said, "This is something I got while traveling, a souvenir from a wood elf forest ranger.

When I was caught by these rats, they snatched this thing away and threw it away, but I secretly picked it up again.

I can give it to you if you need it, after all, you saved my life."

Cana nodded, took the braid, and poured his magic power into it without hesitation.

[Magic power: 2/12]

I digitized two items at once today, and now I only have two points of magic left.

Look at the braid in your hand.

"Thanks. I like it very much."

Popot looked at him with satisfaction and breathed a sigh of relief.

"As long as you like it."

There was movement coming from the front.

Turning around, Blake came over with his guards, followed by Johnil and others.

They were also dragging some dead rats in their hands.

Jonil came over and bowed, glancing at the white rat standing next to Kana. He said, "Your Highness, we killed 36 rats in total, and some escaped."

Kana nodded and said, "We are not many in number, and killing so many is enough. The rats that escaped will not survive for long.

Burying the rats in these pits will help them go home. But this one's head must be chopped off."

The one whose head was chopped off was the one that entered the town last night, killed the woman and abducted the child.

Some soldiers looked at the holes in the camp, which were dug by rats to use as nests.

Throwing it in and burying it can indeed be considered as going home.

The soldiers took action and quickly cleared out the corpses around them.

Some bodies were thrown at the back of the woods. People were too lazy to go back and get them after giving them away, so they just left them there and gave them back to nature.

"Okay, one hazard solved, time to go back."

With that, Kana led everyone out of the woods.

Only Popot walked next to Kana, feeling very uncomfortable. She could clearly feel the eyes of everyone around her.

It was filled with vigilance, curiosity and disgust.

When they arrived at the place where the ship was docked, the people guarding the boat were shocked to see Popot.

However, he felt relieved when he saw that Kana and others didn't care, but his eyes stayed on Popot and didn't move away.

Back to the town.

The villagers all saw a big rat head.

Cana and Jonil himself carried the little girl back to her former home.

"Mom, where is mom?"

The little girl suddenly asked, she didn't know her mother was dead.

Blake and Alice didn't know how to answer for a moment, and were just about to find a reason to lie.

Kana said directly: "She is dead. She was killed by the black rat while protecting you."

After saying this, without waiting for the little girl's reaction, he said directly: "Take her to see her mother."

Jonil took the little girl's hand and walked straight in.

Soon, the sound of a little girl crying could be heard from inside. "Is this not a good idea?" Kecha asked.

"Children are not that fragile. Hiding the truth will cause more harm." Popot said suddenly.

Kana also nodded: "This is also disrespectful to her mother."

"What will she do in the future?" Alice suddenly asked.

"There's a special orphanage in town that adopts the children of these warriors, and it's funded by the earl and knights."

Blake explained briefly and then added, "She still has a father."

It's just that her father is still fighting on the front line.

"Are there many boats in town?" Cana asked Blake.

The sudden question left Blake a little confused, but after a quick thought, he shook his head and said, "Apart from the fishing boat, the only ship that's slightly larger is the one we're on today, Your Highness."

"Is there anyone in this town who can build a boat?"

This sentence stumped Blake.

"There are two shipbuilders." Jonil, who walked out of the room at this time, answered.

After all, the Kingdom of Savro was surrounded by the sea on three sides, so there were many shipbuilders and carpenters who had worked in the shipyards.

Not to mention that this is originally a military town, and various military equipment are also manufactured here.

Therefore, there are many craftsmen gathered here, or it can be said that every resident in the town has some skills.

Whether it's armor making, leather working, or weapon forging, there are also stonemasons needed to build fortresses, as well as carpenters and shipbuilders.

"If I ask you to build more big ships, will you do it?" Kana asked.

Jonil was a straightforward person, so he said directly, "I will ask the Earl for instructions."

"Then invite those two shipwrights over. I have some questions for them."

This request could be easily met, and Jonil quickly asked someone to call the two shipbuilders over.

One of the two shipbuilders looked to be in his 50s, an old man, while the other was only in his 30s, still in the prime of his life.

"Your Highness, I want to see you." Joniel said directly.

The two shipbuilders immediately panicked, looking at Kana and not knowing how to salute, so they simply knelt on the ground.

Although they had heard that there was a prince in the town, they had never seen someone of such noble status in their lives.

Kana quickly said, "No need to salute, I have something to ask you."

The two shipbuilders bent their waists slightly and listened respectfully.

"If I asked you to build a few riverboats that could carry two or three times the number of people in this town, how long would it take?"

Hearing this, the two shipbuilders looked at each other and the older one said, "It depends on how big it needs to be. If it's as big as the riverboat in town, we can build it directly in town.

If there is a shortage of manpower, it will take two to three years, and if there is sufficient manpower, it will only take half a year."

Then he added: "But we have to use the wood that the town used to have."

He must be talking about the river boat that Kana and the others had just taken.

At best, that river boat could only cram two or three hundred people into it.

The population of this small town is about seven or eight hundred.

"What if there's only half a month to a month?"

These words frightened the two shipbuilders.

He shook his head repeatedly: "Impossible, Your Highness, this amount of time is simply impossible."

"What if we build a large raft?"

"This……"

The two shipbuilders had no idea what Kana was going to do and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

The young boatman gritted his teeth and replied, "If, if the river is not rushing and the river channel is stable, it should be fine for temporary use."

Kana roughly understood and nodded.

"Okay, that's all I wanted to ask."

The two shipwrights quickly took their leave.

The people nearby listened to the entire thing and had no idea what Kana was going to do.

Only Jonil seemed to have thought of something and looked at Kana.

"I will write to communicate with my uncle."

After saying that, Kana took Aliris towards their residence, and Popot had no choice but to follow Kana.
