Iron Hoof Island, Cowhoof City.
It was now taken over by the Sapphire Family, but the scars of war had not been wiped out. The walls of the huge castle towering by the sea were filled with cracks.
It was left behind by the Crown Prince when he led the Orders of Chivalry to capture Cowhoof City.
At this moment, the port of Cowhoof City was densely anchored with all kinds of sailboats hanging all kinds of flags. The red Tulip flag of the Tulip family was very inconspicuous. While anchored for supplies, Liszt found the Red Crab Island fleet, led by his uncle, Messiro Longtaro.
"Uncle, I want to rent the fleet of Red Crab Island to transport a group of serfs for me." Liszt said directly.
Messiro liked Liszt, his nephew who had the good looks of the Taro family: "No problem, as long as you pay the corresponding remuneration, the fleet of Red Crab Island can be rented at any time. How many serfs are you going to transport to your territory? "
"I am going to transport at least 10,000, and if I can buy more serfs, I hope to gather 20,000."
"Black Horse Island is just an undeveloped deserted island. Are you sure you can rely on your territory to support so many serfs? Once there is a shortage of food, it is likely to cause a commotion in the territory, and the serfs will starve to death. "
"I've already stored enough food for ten thousand people to survive the winter. Adding another ten thousand people will only make the territory's food shortage a bit more. I believe that we can obtain food from other sources and safely last until next year's harvest," Liszt replied confidently.
Rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, rely on the sea to eat the sea.
If the serfs have nothing to eat, then let them go to the seaside to fish for seafood, and then buy seafood from various coastal towns on Coral Island. It was absolutely no problem for them to fill their stomachs.
It was nothing more than spending gold coins.
"You are prepared to deal with it, that's all." Messiro's eyes flashed with a trace of nostalgia, and he said gently, "If Melissa was still alive and saw your performance today, she would have a bright smile every day."
For Liszt, Melissa was just a symbol.
His predecessor had already passed away when he was very young, so he didn't even have any memories of her. There was nothing to talk about, so he changed the topic: "How is Grandfather's health? With the marriage of Meopal and Angela, the Longtaro Castle will certainly be filled with more warmth."
"Don't worry about the mundane affairs. Your grandfather is getting healthier and healthier. It's just that he's been in a bad mood lately. He would not be satisfied until Meopal and Angela brought him the next successor of the Taro family. Even the princess has to work hard for the continuation of the Taro family bloodline. "
"Yes, the inheritance of the family is the most important issue." As Liszt spoke, he suddenly recalled the smoke mission – Meopal and Angela's affair was not harmonious.
At that time, the first thing he thought of was "borrowing the seed", which was against human ethics, so he immediately changed the mission.
But when he went back and thought about it carefully, he felt that he might have been thinking too much. He had been looking down on Angela, who was promiscuous. The smoke mission said that it was because of sexual intercourse, which led to the inability to continue the bloodline of the family. There were a few other possibilities.
It was possible that there was a problem with Meopal's sexual ability, which led to the inability to impregnate Angela.
It was also possible that there was a problem with Angela's fertility, which led to the inability to get pregnant.
There was also a possibility that the sperm was not active and could not swim to the place where it should go, which naturally made it very difficult to get pregnant.
The first two possibilities could not be solved, while the latter possibility needed to be adjusted. If it was just an ordinary degree of inactivity, then eating more zinc-rich foods, having a proper routine, and relaxing mood could increase the degree of activity. Oysters, or oysters, were the food with the highest zinc content.
Animal livers were also rich in zinc.
"If Meopal and Angela are unable to conceive, then I really should help them. At least, I can provide them with oyster food." Liszt thought to himself.
… …
After anchored in Oxhoof City for one night, the fleet continued its journey.
On the azure blue sea, sailboats lined up one after another. Liszt deliberately climbed to the sentry tower at the top of the mainmast, took out his binoculars, and surveyed the surrounding fleet.
The binoculars in his hands were second-generation products, and their precision and clarity far exceeded that of the first-generation binoculars. This stemmed from the Count's continuous investment. The Count was very fond of binoculars. After Liszt explained the principles of the binoculars, the Count vigorously pushed the crystal craftsmen to research and polish them.
At this time.
Through the binoculars, Liszt captured a whale leaping high from the sea on the right side of the fleet before heavily falling back into the sea, creating a large splash.
These giant beasts were a part of the scenery during the voyage, and they would often accompany the fleet for a period of time.
As long as the ships did not attack them, they would also not attack the ships, living in harmony. Liszt had even heard crew members say that when the ship was attacked by sea monsters, these giant whales would even lend a hand and drive away the sea monsters. Their huge bodies made it impossible for ordinary low-level sea monsters to deal with them.
"This may be the behavior of the whales to protect their young. Sea monsters will hunt the young whales, so the big whales will try their best to stop any hunting behavior of the sea monsters, not letting them develop peacefully to reduce the possibility of the young whales being hunted by the sea monsters." Liszt deduced this.
He had seen some documentaries where humpback whales often targeted killer whales, launching thousand-mile rescue operations to save the prey that was about to fall into the mouth of the killer whales.
There was no evidence to show why they did this, but they liked to do it, chivalrously and courageously.
During this voyage.
Apart from seeing a few whale escorts, there were no other memorable scenes, not even a single sea monster. There were many legends of sea monster attacks in the sea, but the number of times a crew actually encountered them was probably only once in their lifetime.
The vast sea was too big, and sea monsters had fixed prey targets. There was no reason for them to attack ships made of wood and eat humans who were not even enough to fill their teeth.
What prevented humans in this world from looking at the sea was the constraints of cognition, and the difficulty of obtaining resources in the sea was far greater than on land.
In fact.
If Liszt had a large piece of land on the continent, he would not think of developing the sea and leading the Age of Navigation. The deep sea always revealed a mysterious and gloomy atmosphere. Sometimes, when he stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the bottomless sea, he could not help but feel a trace of fear.
It was too easy for the merciless sea to swallow a human.
Cultivation.
Cultivation.
Cultivation.
The boring six-and-a-half-day voyage ended quickly. The fleet had already sailed to a large city in the Steel Ridge Kingdom, Cockscomb City, where they would meet, resupply, and collect information before launching an attack on the Sardinia Bay area.
