It's none of my business whether the shark and the black snake fight, it's better if they both die cleanly, that's what Claude thinks. After returning to the forest farm, he continued to live his daily life, patrolling the forest farm, practicing magic, trial-making flintlock guns, and occasionally picking some mushrooms and other wild products to go home. On the way, he bought some delicious food for his brother and stuffed it for his sister. Some pocket money, so as not to cause trouble to the two parents by pretending to be poor.
Mr. Morsan and the investors also sent pensions and compensation to the families of all sailors in the merchant navy, and gained a lot of reputation by the way. Except for Captain Otruny's house, because Erikson and his mother refused their visit to express condolences.
On March 12, a rare logistics supply ship and a maritime survey ship belonging to the Kingdom's Navy came to Bailu Town, which was the so-called fast maritime reconnaissance warship. Two boats were moored in the public dock area, and many people came to watch the excitement. Several naval officers got off the ship. They went to the town office and submitted an official document, saying that they needed to stay in Bailu Town for a period of time due to official business, and they hoped that the town office could make appropriate logistics supplies.
The mayor, Baron Robert, breathed a sigh of relief and promised to provide fresh vegetables and meat to the two naval warships to ensure that the kingdom's naval officers would eat with confidence and satisfaction. But when he tried to ask what the two navy warships were doing here, the answer he got was military secrets. But before leaving, those several naval officers revealed that the Royal Navy is likely to send some warships to gather in Lake Beringa to conduct a secret military operation.
In the next two days, the sea survey ship kept wandering around Lake Beringa. Many fishermen saw the sailors on the ship lowering ropes from time to time to measure the depth of the lake bottom, and some naval officers led people Draw terrain around the lake. As for another logistics supply ship, two teams of marines disembarked and set up sentries in the public dock area, which was equivalent to actually taking over the jurisdiction of the public dock area.
March 15th is a big day for Bailu Town, because after two months of training, the newly formed garrison brigade can finally be declared officially into an army. This means that in the next two or three days, the security battalion from the county will transfer the defense tasks of Bailu Town to the garrison brigade and head back to the county. The military control of Bailu Town will end.
The square in front of the town hall was decorated again, with colorful flags flying and gongs and drums noisy. The 224 trained members of the garrison brigade wear dark blue tall military caps with white feathers on their heads, dark blue military uniforms on their upper bodies, dark black military trousers with white stripes on their lower bodies, and black T-shirts on their feet. Wearing high leather boots and carrying Kemiller III standard matchlock guns, they entered the square in a neat line and were inspected by the onlookers.
Claude didn't go to join in the fun, and Verricro didn't go to see the town-wide parade that would be held by the garrison brigade later. He ran to the forest farm to have a shooting competition with Claude. If his father, Kubelik, had not offended the town mayor, Baron Robert, and was excluded from the formation of the garrison, then he would also be a member of the garrison under review at this time.
The two of them played for a long time, and Vericro finally vented some of his depression and talked to Claude about what happened at Ericson's house.
"You know, that dock no longer belongs to the Ericson family." Verricro said.
It turns out that Captain Otruny mortgaged his private dock to a smuggler before he led the merchant fleet to sail. He loaned a large sum of money and teamed up with a few friends to collect the cargo of the merchant ship. Now it's a mess. The smuggler came to the door with the due IOU, and either paid back the money with interest, or he took away the private dock that was used as collateral.
This debt together with the interest amounted to one hundred and fifty gold crowns, and Mrs. Elena would not be able to pay it back even if she sold her building. She and Erikson never dreamed that Captain Altruni would mortgage his private dock. In the end, they had no choice but to use the private dock to pay off the debt. You must know that this private dock is worth at least more than two hundred gold crowns, but now it has been transferred to others at a low price. Mrs. Elena was so angry that she vomited blood and fell into a coma on the spot.
"She will not remortgage the private dock to the National Bank to get the money to pay off the debt." Claude was very surprised, why should he suffer such a loss obviously.
{} Life had to go on as usual. Claude wrote a reply to Bockar. After that, he basically stayed at the forest farm and rarely went to the town.
On this day, he is
