The Defeated Dragon

In the evening, arrive at the Port of Flowers.

After determining that A Ke has returned to the sea, Liszt returned directly to the castle and began to draw how many gold coins he had. The result is that if he does not sell fixed assets, he can only make up a hundred gold coins-the flower brewing market has not been fully opened, and it is difficult to raise many gold coins in a short time.

"This amount of money is simply not enough to buy a medium-sized sea ship. At least 500 gold coins must be prepared."

The original sapphire grand prince Andrew Sapphire, before the creation of the sapphire grand duchy, humans living on the mainland have not yet entered the era of navigation.

Most ships are propelled by paddles, cormorants, and cormorants, sailing in inland lakes and rivers, and rarely appearing offshore.

I don't know when the sail was invented. It is estimated that if you go back, you will go back to the Moon Empire. All the cultural sources of this world can be related to the Moon Empire.

But the sailboat must have been carried forward by the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, because it was the first country on the island to be built by mankind.

The island lacked serfs, lacked food, and lacked minerals.

Take everything from the mainland.

An inland boat such as a paddle boat cannot withstand the wind and waves at all, and sailing has become the main force of navigation. Driven by the war, it has developed rapidly between the islands in the Grand Sapphire.

Basically, paddle boats have been eliminated here.

Only sailboats are being built and sold.

Sailboats currently have three levels-small-masted masted, medium-sized masted, and large-masted masted.

The sails are all horizontal sails. Of course, in the era when the longitudinal sails were not yet invented, they were collectively called sails. Only Liszt would distinguish them by horizontal sails.

The sail of a masted sailboat, more accurately called Fangfan, is a bit similar to the kind of sailboat used by Viking pirates, with a huge square sail.

The sails of the brig are made of small cross-sails, as are the sails of the three-masted sail.

There are three types of sailing ships: cargo ship, ordinary ship and fast boat. Cargo ships are very spacious, with huge cargo compartments, but they travel very slowly; fast ships are narrow, cargo compartments are small, but they travel very fast; ordinary ships are a combination of the two, which are not large, small, fast or slow.

The Flower is a two-masted sailing ship.

Differentiated according to the cost of the VW.

A masted sailing ship is between 50 and 200 gold coins; a masted sailing ship is between 100 and 300 gold coins; a masted sailing ship is between 200 and 400 gold coins.

For two-masted sailing ships between 500 and 1,000, the flowers are worth at least 500 gold coins; two-masted cargo ships are between 800 and 1200 gold coins; two-masted speedboats are between 1,000 and 1500 gold coins.

Three-masted ordinary sailing ships are between 2,000 and 3,000 gold coins; three-masted cargo sailing ships are between 2500 and 4,000 gold coins; three-masted fast sailing ships are between at least 5000 and 6,000 gold coins.

At present, there is only the sapphire family, which can manufacture three-masted speedboats and is not sold for external use as a warship. There were only a few gifts-after the retired Marquis Merlin Long Taro was given three three-masted speedboats by Grand Duke Sapphire in recognition of his contribution to the Grand Duchy.

"The mission requires a medium-sized sailboat. The cheapest is five hundred gold coins, either to sell iron or borrow money." Liszt felt his chin and felt that he had nothing to sell.

And it's just that funds are temporarily scarce.

Hundreds of gold coins can be earned every month from flowers brewing, and the profits from flower brewing can be used to advance the future earnings from Tulip Castle in the next few weeks.

Think of it here.

He immediately wrote to Levi's, and asked Galtaire to take the letter to Fort Tulip: "Consultant Galtaire, I hope you can follow the caravan and pick the right brig ordinary sailing boat. The price should not be too high. , We only sail between Heima Island and Flower Town. "

"Sir, are you going to ask the dockyard to make a new ship, or just buy a medium-sized sailing boat?" Goltai took the letter and asked.

"Of course ..." Lisburn wanted to say of course to buy a new ship.

But suddenly I remembered that the smoke mission just asked him to buy another medium-sized sea ship, neither requiring a new ship, nor a cargo ship or ordinary ship.

That being the case, why not buy an old ship?

The Huaxin is an old ship, or an old one that has been patched, but runs quite smoothly at sea without any problems. Especially recently, the seam of the ship's board was also irrigated with rubber water to make the flower number stronger and more stable. There is no sign of water leakage, and it can still sail for at least ten years.

Buy an old ship, sew up and apply some rubber water, it can be used as a new ship.

So he changed his mind temporarily: "Then buy an old boat, and the price will be controlled within five hundred gold coins."

Goltai laughed: "Sir, it is very coincidental that I recently heard the news that the caravan of the Tulip Castle is preparing to replace a new batch of ships, which is still related to the specialty flowers brewed in the town of Flowers. , Sir Levi's preparing to form a special wine-carrying fleet, to buy fast sailing ships, to replace several cargo ships. "

Liquor is of high value, and the use of fast sailing can reduce sailing time and transport risks.

"Really, since that's the case, then pick a relatively better one from these cargo ships and buy it."

"Master, as you wish."

...

Goltai went to buy a boat.

It will take a few days, and these days, the castle is ready to demolish the shell wooden building and repair it to its original state. As for Liszt, he rarely stayed in the castle, because the news of the beheading of six king sea snakes had spread, and the nobles of Chatan City came to visit.

He was impatient to receive these nobles, and had no common language to talk about except eating and drinking.

So he called all the reception tasks and handed them all to Zambrotta-those who have good diplomatic skills in the town of flowers, except Goltai, only Zambrotta.

As an aristocrat who had been deprived of his title, he was not good at pragmatic work, and very skilled at working with prudence.

He also has an important task is to reject all requests to purchase intermediate sea monster materials. All materials of the six-headed king sea snake ~ www.readwn.com ~ are not for sale.

Liszt, who was not bothered by the case, built a seaside villa in the Golden House with peace of mind.

After the ebb tide, a large pit of 500 square meters was dug, filled with a lot of rocks and sea sand, and then mixed with rubber water to stir.

Sun exposure.

The solidification speed is very fast. In a few hours, a platform similar to a cement table is built.

The beach is soft and the foundation is not deep, but the platform is large enough and firm enough, so it is still very stable and is not affected by the scour of the sea after high tide.

On the platform, continue to build a stone house.

This high-rise stone house will be flooded with seawater at high tide, allowing Ake to enter and exit freely. The upper floor of the stone house will continue to build a wooden house for Liszt. Ake can also read books and study magic along the steps.

Peony, fighting spirit, listening to Siren singing.

Facing the Ocean, Spring and Blossom.
