East Coast.
When the sea tide recedes, the beach soaked in seawater has a large number of seafood such as shells, starfish, and crabs stranded. Some fishermen have already started to salvage seafood.
Liszt rode on Lilong's horse.
Watching a large group of people busy barefoot on the beach, they are busy connecting ropes, almost all the ropes in the town are found and twisted into a rope.
Costo dived to the location of the wreck and put the rope around the keel of the wreck.
Swimming back again, he waved to everyone: "Pull! You can do it!"
Dozens of serfs, like trackers on the Volga River, took heavy steps and stretched the rope tightly in an instant. Under the command of Galtai, they chanted slogans and exerted their strength: "One, two, three!"
One, two!
three!
There was a burst of slogans.
The rope tightens their shoulders, relaxing and tightening with the rhythm of their bodies. Step by step, sink your feet deep into the yellow sand. Some of them are half a hundred old people, some are young teenagers, doing the same job. His clothes were tattered, his face was dark, his hair was sticking to his forehead, and sweat was dripping.
They are really like the trackers on the Volga.
But they are not.
Liszt has seen Repin's famous painting "Trailers on the Volga", which is included in Chinese textbooks. In the painting, the trackers tug boats by the river all the year round, and their life has destroyed them insensibly. These temporary labor trackers in Huahua Town have smiles on their faces, even though the sun is burning above their heads.
Because of the work of the trackers on this trip, each person can get an income of one copper plate.
The lord who came here from the great Tulip Castle, was generous and kind, bringing them plenty of food and clanging copper coins, even silver coins and gold coins!
Life, has never been so full of hope.
"one two three!"
"Strength!" Gao Ertai yelled from the side, "You lazy fellows, haven't you eaten yet!"
On the surface of the sea, Costo kept diving and surfacing, shouting loudly: "Put more force, the hull has been pulled out! Put more force, and the bow will be pulled out!"
Several slogans fell to the ground.
Costo shouted loudly again: "Successful, the sunken ship was successfully pulled out of the silt and sea sand!"
After pulling it out, the trackers became more calm and easily dragged the dilapidated sunken ship all the way to the beach. This sunken ship covered with green algae can no longer see its original appearance, only one mast is left, which is still broken. The hull is full of holes, and crabs crawl out from it from time to time.
"My lord, the sunken ship has been salvaged!" Gao Ertai said excitedly.
Costo also came over: "The old-fashioned two-masted sailing ship, looking at this shape, should be a ship from a hundred years ago. Lord Lord, this should be a ship from the Sapphire Grand Duchy. Only the Grand Duchy could build a two-masted sailing ship a hundred years ago. .”
Liszt rode on the horse, circling the sunken ship: "Is the sunken ship a hundred years ago, then, is it a merchant ship? Or a warship?"
"It should be a merchant ship. The cabin is sealed and used for cargo transportation."
"Then what are you waiting for, Mr. Gao Ertai, let someone dismantle this hundred-year-old cargo ship. I want to see what is left in its cargo hold."
"As you wish!"
It's hard to build a boat, but it's quick to take apart, and the cabin is smashed open in moments. Some patrol members got in and pulled out some cloth that had been soaked in seawater, and some grain debris. It must have been a merchant ship carrying cloth and grain that sank somehow.
"Could it be that the shipwreck treasure is just such a little thing?" Liszt expressed his disbelief.
as expected.
A patrol member suddenly yelled: "There are boxes, here are several boxes, intact, the lock has not been opened!"
"Get the box out!"
"Give me the hammer. The box's stuck in the keel. I've got to break the wood."
After a lot of tossing, a total of five large boxes were dragged out of the shipwreck cabin and placed on the beach. Costo took a few glances around the box and came to a conclusion: "My lord, this should be red cedar, durable, and obviously waterproofed. There must be valuables in the box."
Liszt smiled: "In this case, move them to my castle... By the way, everyone who participated in the salvage this time will pay double the reward. Captain Costo found the sunken ship, then, reward him with a gold coin .”
He hasn't seen what's in the box yet.
Start to distribute rewards directly, the purpose is to encourage the people to discover, explore, and contribute more good things to him. At the same time, this gold coin also encourages Kostodo to recruit sailor apprentices to see if he can really pull together a group of qualified sailors.
…
Five large boxes, each the size of a desk, were neatly placed in the hall of the castle.
The lock was probably cast in brass and had rusted.
Carter guarded the box and forbade the servants from approaching it.
So the maids and male servants could only crowd at the entrance of the hall, looking at the boxes curiously.
"Debbie, what do you say is in it, will there be a mermaid?"
"Maybe it's a song demon, there are song demons in the sea."
"The box has been around for some years. Even if it contains mermaids and song monsters, it will already be boned."
"That's not necessarily true. I heard that mermaids can live for hundreds of years!"
"I guess it's full of gold coins, no, it's dragon coins! A box full of dragon coins can buy the entire Flower Town."
"Jim, use your brain to think about it. The entire Flower Town, including you and me, is sold, and you can't sell a few dragon coins! A box of dragon coins can buy the entire coral island!"
Carter turned around and yelled at the chattering servant: "Have you forgotten the etiquette of the nobles, do your own work well, and don't pay attention to things that have nothing to do with you, understand?"
Mrs. Mosen also came down from upstairs, glanced at the maids, and fixed on Maggie: "The sanitation of the master's study is not up to standard, and there are crumbs in the corner, Maggie, this is your negligence, you need to redo it." Clean it up."
"Yes, Mrs. Mawson." Maggie nodded yes, and hurried to get the cleaning tools.
The scolding of the two housekeepers made all the servants dare not make mistakes, and returned to their jobs one after another. Only Carter and Mawson were left in the hall.
"Has the master not come back yet?"
"Master went to the nightshade field. The nightshade in the field is not very good. Master is trying to solve it."
"I went to see that black nightshade. It's really not good. Mr. Carter, do you think it can survive?"
"I believe it can." Carter smiled slightly, "Because the master will save it, the glory of the knight favors Huahua Town, and even more so the master."
Liszt didn't know that his housekeeper trusted him so much.
He was looking at the black nightshade, which was almost dying of life, and frowned, thinking about how he could help it condense its magic power: "In the mission, it said that the 'magic power as warm as water' is losing, does it mean that nightshade needs to replenish the magic power of water attributes?" ? In the town, only Marcus and I have the attributes of grudge, but they are fire and wind attributes."
suddenly.
A flash of inspiration.
He thought of black pearls. In his gemstone space, there are fourteen black pearls of water attribute: "Perhaps, I can grind up the black pearls and sprinkle them on the roots of nightshade nightshade, so that they can absorb the magic power of water attributes... no I know whether the idea is right or not, but at present, this is the only decent way.”
The dead horse acted as a living horse doctor, and immediately took out a fist-sized black pearl, ground it and buried it in the root of the nightshade.
"Whether it's dead or alive, it depends on the nature of Solanum nigrum." He got on his horse and hurried to the castle. There were still five boxes with treasures waiting for him to open.
