How do you feel when you see a beast as tall as a person lying in front of your door as soon as you go out
Malediz, with a stiff face, held the doorknob.
He stood at the door and didn't move for a long time. He couldn't go out. He wanted to go back into the house, but he was stared at by a pair of eye-catching tiger eyes, as if he would pounce on him if he moved a little bit.
Maledez really stood there, unable to advance or retreat.
At this moment, a "ding bell" sound came from the end of the corridor.
Before Malediz looked suspiciously, the next moment an iron bell the size of an adult's palm rolled over along the lines of the carpet.
The bell is covered with claw marks and pitted bite marks, and it looks like it has endured a lot of damage on weekdays.
The briquettes lay lazily on the ground, the long tiger tail raised and slammed on the rolling bell, and the bell rolled out again, but after a while it rolled back again, and the tiger tail continued to beat...
The time it takes for the bell to roll back is getting shorter and shorter.
For a moment, a dark little leopard ran over with its body upside down, its small paws pressed against the iron bell, scratching, and occasionally lowered its head and took a bite...
When the round sphere slipped away from under the claws again, Brown Sugar chased after him, lowered his head and picked up the red rope tied to the bell, and flung his little tail to run to the briquettes, but suddenly felt a strong gaze that could not be ignored. .
Brown Sugar couldn't help but stop the four claws that were moving, and raised his head with the bell in his mouth.
Malediz couldn't help but inhale, his hand holding the doorknob tightened again and again, his eyes were always fixed on the beautiful golden eyes of the little black panther, as if waves were constantly surging in his heart.
He didn't dare to look at the area where the beasts were lying yesterday, and naturally he didn't find the brown sugar sleeping soundly beside the briquettes.
When I saw it in the cold this morning, I was shocked.
Others may not know.
But he knew that the number of black panthers was extremely rare among his race, and they only lived in the remote far west, and the black panthers with golden eyes were one in a thousand.
The only little black panther with golden eyes he saw was a gift from the Kadi tribe to the Pope.
But now... how did this little black leopard appear in the castle of Lord Desinia? !
Malediz will not admit his mistake, this is the little black panther that was taken away by the Pope.
For a while, the big black tiger was still lying at his door.
Malediz intends to step over to take a closer look at the little black panther.
However, as soon as he raised one leg, the recumbent black tiger stood up suddenly, lowered his head, picked up the brown sugar and left.
"Hey wait!"
Maledez followed subconsciously, but how could the elderly cardinal be able to catch up with the briquettes.
Fortunately, after a while, they met Xia Zoey who was about to go out in another corridor.
The brown sugar was held in the mouth by the briquettes all the way, the tail hung down, and the four claws were curled up. After seeing Xia Zuoyi, there was a whimper, and the bell fell to the ground with a crisp crashing sound.
Xia Zuoyi bent down and picked up the bell that happened to be rolling at his feet, and let the briquettes put the brown sugar down, and then said to Malediz, who came after him: "What does Mr. Howard want to tell me? "
He just noticed that the other party had something to ask.
Maledez: "This little black panther..."
Xia Zuoyi understood: "Oh, of course it's a gift from the Pope to me."
Malediz secretly said, sure enough, his mood was even more complicated.
He thought that the Pope took the Golden Armored Knight to a long time ago. It must have been at that time... I don't know how the Pope and Lord Desinia knew each other, and even the Pope's decree was able to give...
Maledez's thoughts were tumbling.
Xia Zuoyi said, "I'm going to Wessas to have a look, why don't you come with me?"
Malediz came back to his senses and nodded in agreement.
As soon as Samuel was brought back to the territory by Xia Zoe, he was thrown into Weissus by him.
One is to collect available shipbuilders as soon as possible, and the other is to let Samuel familiarize himself with the process of building the Wessas Seaport, and he will be involved after all.
Samuel has no complaints about this, but is quite excited, like a duck in water.
He is indeed a genius, with a straightforward personality.
Although many people in the team building the harbor were very unconvinced when they first arrived here because of the privileges given by Xia Zuoyi, it didn't take long for this group to be convinced by Samuel's charisma.
Of course, they admire Samuel's shipbuilding ability even more. He has rich knowledge and can answer some difficult questions.
…
There is also a self-running bell in Wiesas, which is different from the one in Fort Comoy in that a weather vane is erected at the top of the tall bell tower.
The wind was light today, and the weather vane swayed slowly.
There is a circle of rose gardens planted around the clock tower. At this time, it is approaching May, and a lot of flower bones have emerged inside. From time to time, birds and butterflies are parked in it, which is very eye-catching.
Xia Zoe's carriage drove slowly on the wide road, with the curtain raised on one side, so that Malediz and Paul, who also followed, could see clearly.
Along the way, the two of them didn't take their eyes off the outside.
When he was about to arrive at the harbor, Malediz turned his head and said, "Your lord has managed your territory well."
Xia Zuoyi's brows and eyes were raised, and when he heard you have won the prize, his expression was neither arrogant nor impetuous, which made Malediz sigh in his heart that his mentality was really not like a teenager in his teens.
Maledez took another look at Paul, who was still looking at the outside in amazement, and snorted, as if he had never seen the world when he came out, the calmness of the past was gone.
However... The reconstruction of the two cities of Wissas and Fort Comoy is indeed very shocking and sighing.
Under Maledez's pondering, after a while, they came to the place where the harbor was built, which was on the coast of the Cogit Sea.
This place has changed a lot now.
The coastline of the Cogit Sea is very long. On one side, Xia Zoe has built a salt drying site. On the other side, it is located on the edge and remote. It can be used as a shipbuilding area. Unrelated people are prohibited from entering.
The castle that originally stood on the cliff has long been converted into the administrative residence of the harbor base.
Xia Zoe went directly to the shipbuilding area, and Samuel was waiting outside with someone.
Here is a simple house that can shelter from the wind and rain, which is usually used when you are tired and need to rest.
The night patrol guards live in a tower a little farther from the coastline. This tower will also be used as a lighthouse in the future to illuminate the direction of returning ships.
The carriage slowly stopped near the house, and after getting off the carriage, Judit handed the wooden box in his hand to Samuel.
The wooden box is very heavy, and Samuel almost didn't hold it. He was supported by someone before he stood firm, and there was a dull sound of clattering.
He asked in surprise, "What's in here?"
Xia Zuoyi: "Go in first, open it and see."
After they entered the house, the others left to go about their business, except for Samuel who stayed and opened the wooden box with his own hands, which contained piles and piles of small wooden blocks of different shapes.
"This is… ?"
Samuel picked up a small wooden block and flipped it in his hand in confusion. He was puzzled: "Lord, what are these wooden blocks for?"
"It's never going to be me splicing..."
He was keenly aware that there were protrusions or depressions on the wooden blocks, and they fit into each other just fine.
Xia Zuoyi: "Didn't you report before that shipbuilding was slow and encountered difficulties?"
Speaking of this matter, Samuel nodded with a bitter look on his face: "Yes, I have built a boat to go to sea alone before, but fortunately, the God of Creation did not let me be buried in the belly of a fish in the sea, and was rescued later. to return to Hurghada."
"So I am very clear that the boats used for this sea can not be confused with the boats that usually travel on the river, not to mention that the boats of ordinary quality cannot last long on the seas with unpredictable wind and rain for a long time."
In particular, all aspects have to be considered, the bottom of the boat, the cabin, the occupants, the storage...
He went out to sea alone before, so he didn't have to think about it so much, the boat was built just right.
This time, he is going to sea with manpower. The large number of people means that the ship must be larger, and the bigger the ship, the harder it is to build. The material, the weight of the draft, the processing and splicing of the hull must be considered.
Difficulties will inevitably be encountered in the process of shipbuilding.
Xia Zuoyi patted the wooden box and said, "The things inside are called building blocks."
"Building blocks? What are they for?" Samuel asked curiously.
Maledez and Paul also looked over suspiciously.
"For you to play with."
After Xia Zuoyi finished speaking, he kept taking out building blocks from the wooden box and splicing them together, but after a while, he assembled a shape and placed it on the table, and then spliced two more in succession.
Samuel picked it up in surprise and said, "This is the sail."
Xia Zoe: "These building blocks allow you to build a boat, a boat you imagine."
"If some building blocks are not suitable, have them re-polished. You can also build a part yourself. If you make a big boat, it is really difficult to deal with it, but a small boat like this can be dismantled and rebuilt at will, and you don't have to worry about wasting materials. , Samuel, are you right?"
How could Samuel not understand the function of these building blocks, and immediately nodded excitedly: "Yes, lord, you are absolutely right!"
He couldn't wait to pounce on the wooden box, his eager eyes as if he was staring at the baby.
The problems that plagued him before finally found a way to solve them. They designed them on paper, and then used building blocks to repeatedly experiment and practice...
For a moment, Samuel thought about it a lot, and almost wanted to immerse himself in it immediately, but when he thought that the Lord was still here, he reluctantly restrained.
Fortunately, Xia Zuoyi saw his thoughts, did not let him accompany him, and left here shortly after taking Maledez to watch.
At this time, Nat, a diplomat who has become an independent leader, and Gibran, who is in charge of the finances of the Thorns Chamber of Commerce, are sailing to the ship of the Anas Empire.
Gibran was ordered by Xia Zoe to go to Nagabi Merchant to meet with Boris, to talk to the other party about the business of clothing, and to ask for some advice.
As for Nat, he has other things to deal with.
A cloud-piercing eagle chirped in the sky.
Qingtuan slowed down, and from time to time flew low and landed on the mast. The huge body couldn't help making the ropes tied to the sails tremble, and also scared away a waterfowl that also landed on the mast.
And it didn't take long for Qingtuan to spread its wings and fly away again, as if it had fallen just to frighten these dwarf birds.
Nat couldn't help but sighed at the beauty and might of the Youth League.
He said: "Kino, after you get the news, the Qingtuan will immediately take it back to the lord. How long do you think the Qingtuan will be able to fly back to the castle?"
Gibran: "Less than an hourglass."
Nat took a deep breath and was even more amazed: "It's flying too fast, no wonder the lord asked the Qingtuan to come and recognize the way. If there is any news in the future, wouldn't it be very fast and convenient."
Gibran nodded, of course.
