When Dafei, who was sleeping with his helmet on, was woken up by knocks on the door, two days had passed in the game.
It was Spielberg. "Captain, my ship is repaired, and the general is ready. Shall we set off?"
Dafei stretched. "Of course." After four hours of napping, he felt much better.
Fire Dragon Island's pier was bustling with activity. Barto and a group of officers were giving orders. A large group of Dwarves transported wine barrels to a few flat cargo ships, which were specially used for salvaging sunken ships. Salvaging sunken ships was a sub-skill of Master Navigation. It was also a popular way for adventurers to make money during the open beta.
The principle of salvaging buckets was simple. First, divers would be sent down to tie one end of the sunken ship with a rope and the other end to the buckets. Of course, the buckets would be forced down by people on the surface. This way, the submerged buckets would produce a certain amount of pulling force on the sunken ship. Of course, the pulling force of one bucket was negligible, so many buckets had to be prepared to salvage the sunken ship. These buckets were like grapes that were connected together to lift the entire sunken ship. Then, with the help of the elevators on the salvage ships, the goal of salvaging the sunken ship could be achieved.
The key to salvaging was to send divers down to tie the sunken ship. Sunken ships that were too deep couldn't be salvaged, and sunken ships with sea monsters couldn't be salvaged either.
Seeing Dafei arrive, Barto laughed. "Lieutenant, we've been waiting for you. Let's go!"
Dafei nodded and looked at the bay. The fleet was already waiting outside the harbor, and the Wings of Glory was still docked there. Dafei was surprised. "My Wings of Glory isn't repaired?"
Barto shook his head and sighed. "That ship can't be repaired in a short period of time. The key is the broken mainmast. This can't be fixed with glue, and we don't have a replacement mast here. So, in short, we'll think of a way. First Lieutenant, please board my Flame Lord. "
Spielberg also said, "Captain, with the general's fleet, I can handle the situation on my own."
Indeed, a small place couldn't repair a big ship. What if your giant warship is destroyed? Dafei sighed and said, "Alright, let's go!"
Barto waved his hand. "Let's go!"
For a time, bugles sounded and alarm bells rang. Amidst the cheers of the townspeople, the fishing fleet left the port.
Looking at Bartho, who was waving to the people on the shore in an imposing manner, Dafei was filled with emotion. If it was in the Alliance Kingdom, how could a mere major have the right to put on such a show? What right did he have to be called "General"? This was the benefit of being isolated overseas, far away from the Emperor.
Right at this moment, Barto's voice sank. "Lieutenant, maybe you're right. We might really have found a special product at the place you mentioned."
Dafei was startled. "Specialty? A crevice in the mine? "
Barto said seriously, "After two days of digging, we found a tunnel full of mushroom spores. The tunnel is filled with thick pollen. Anyone who enters will breathe in the pollen and cough non-stop, so I immediately sealed the entrance."
Dafei suddenly understood. "No wonder my bees are flying there!"
Where does the tunnel lead to? This was something Dafei would never ask. It was obvious that it was not a good place. But he didn't expect this general to be so meticulous. He really took his brother's report seriously and carefully explored it. It was worthy of his title of General.
Barto chuckled. "So I have a suggestion. Lieutenant, can you sell your bees to us at a high price? This way, we can increase our honey specialty and use the bees to eat the pollen in the tunnel, reducing the pollen concentration. We can then further explore the tunnel. "
Anlícia immediately refused. "No! These bees are mine, a birthday gift from my grandmother. I will not sell them. "
Dafei shook his head and smiled bitterly. "General, I'm sorry! Her bees are very special. General, you should ask someone to bring them from the Kingdom. " More importantly, I don't want to get involved in this mess, and I don't want to sink deeper and deeper. Wait a minute? What kind of high price was he talking about?
Barto sighed. "Even if you ask someone, it will only arrive at this time next year. This year will be wasted waiting, and with our current situation, we can't afford to waste time!"
At this point, Barto suddenly raised his voice. "How about this, Miss, I won't sell it, but I'll lend it to you, right? We will return it to you in a year! "
Anlícia chuckled. "I'll lend you a female bee, and you can use it to set up an apiary a year later. Then, you will return the female bee to me. Isn't this a good deal?"
Barto said anxiously, "Do I have to return the apiary to you as well? The apiary is the fruit of our labor. How about this, we will split it equally. You will get 50% of the apiary's shares. Is that okay? "
Dafei's eyebrows twitched. Damn! Half of the specialty's shares! This general was really generous! But he was obviously trying to drag me down with him. He wanted me to help him fight the underground arachne in order to protect this 50% of the shares? That was too much, wasn't it? I won't fall for it!
Anlícia immediately shook her head. "This bee is not only special to me, but it is also a special species. It is impossible to find a second one in the entire Hero's Continent. I won't put such a precious bee in such a dangerous place to cultivate."
Well, not bad, not bad. This child really knew how to evaluate the risk of investment. This passage would definitely be the battlefield of the demon race's attack in the future. Wouldn't it be a disaster to open an apiary there?
Barto shook his head and sighed. "Miss, your bee has been poisoned by the spore spider. It is destined to not live long. Only the pollen of the spore forest can provide antibodies to the poison. As a Ranger Elf, you should know more about this than me. You should know the best way to deal with it. "
Anlícia's expression changed. "That means I still have to raise bees there?"
Dafei's eyelids twitched. Damn! This general actually had such a big move! What he said seemed to be the case?
Barto chuckled. "Of course it is not necessary for Miss, but it is necessary for me."
Anlícia hurriedly said, "Then what are we waiting for! Let's hurry up and set up the apiary. Let's go ashore. Hey, why didn't you say such an important thing on the shore? Why did you have to go out to sea? "
Barto chuckled. "Even if we want to set up the apiary, we still have to survey the surrounding terrain, right? In short, I have already sent people to step up the preparation work. I believe we can do it when we return from the sea. "
Anlícia said, "I see!"
Dafei couldn't help but be in awe. "The general is really well-coordinated and well-organized!"
Barto laughed. "The main thing is that time is too tight here. In fact, in our opinion, the underground passage is much more important than salvaging the shipwreck. However, salvaging the shipwreck only happens once a year when the ice thaws. We really can't miss it."
