William's words at the shipyard soon spread outside. Everyone in the shipyard was ready to go. Even if they couldn't get the highest reward of 500 million Baileys, the prize of 10 million Baileys would be quite good, and it was not a one-time reward. If you have any pioneering ideas and techniques in the future, you can still get the reward.

Eric did not go crazy about this high reward like other masters in the shipyard, but instead paid more attention to another news that was spread along with the reward:

The consul William was about to send some young craftsmen to study in the holy land in the hearts of the boatmen, the capital of Seven Waters.

Since William came to power, pirates have almost disappeared around the sea area in which Navia is located. For two years, people living in Hongye Village have almost forgotten that they are still in the era of the Great Pirates.

The Kingdom of Navia has almost become a peach blossom land in this chaotic world, far away from the chaos and the turmoil.

But when people mention the great route, this sea area known as Pirate Cemetery and Pirate Paradise, will people remember that the era they are in is a veritable chaotic era, a chaotic period where pirates and all kinds of criminals emerge one after another.

Although the Seven Waters Capital has a high status in the heart of ship craftsmen, given its great route, few ship craftsmen who have gained status and have gradually become rich are willing to abandon a stable and peaceful life and risk their lives to study abroad in the "war zone" that makes people feel scared.

The only craftsmen who have made these older and unwilling to take risks are glad that William is looking for young boatmen this time, and they have little to do with them.

Eric, a young shipmaker at the shipyard, thought about it all over the bed for a night, and finally decided to submit the application.

Eric thought he was not a smart person, nor a strange person with lofty ambitions, but he understood that the stability and peace of the Kingdom of Navia and the Red Leaf Village were not obtained out of thin air, but was worked hard by the consul Morgan William and his subordinates.

Without the consuls and subordinates who have used their force to ensure the safety of this sea area, the people in Hongye Village will not be safer than those living in other parts of the world. Having the opportunity to add a bargaining chip to their strength means that it also adds a guarantee for the safe life of the people in Hongye Village and this country.

The more advanced and powerful the warships they were riding, the safer the people in the Red Leaf Village and the Navia Kingdom were.

Although Eric is not a big shot who can change the times, he is just a small boatman, he might as well contribute a meager to the hero who can truly change this distorted era.

...

"I know why I'm looking for young people, right?" William held a stack of self-recommendations, and at least showed some pride on his face. He shook Edmund and said.

Young people are more energetic and are more deeply influenced by William's propaganda and public opinion. Many young people in the shipyard, including Eric, took the initiative to recommend themselves after hearing the news that they were going to send people to the Seven Water Capital, and were not afraid of the difficulties of the great route.

"These young people know the hardships and difficulties of the past great pirate era, but also have education and publicity influences, and have ideals and passions," William smiled and looked at this not-so-thick self-recommendation book, with his expression happier than seeing all kinds of new weapons. "The future will definitely be theirs."

Upon hearing this, Edmund glanced at William and couldn't help but complain: "What you said made me think you are an old man in his seventies or eighties. You are only twenty-two years old this year."

William was stunned, and then laughed silently. Indeed, judging from his physical age, he is only twenty-two years old this year, but his psychological age is actually considered an old man.

William did not continue to talk about this topic with Edmund. Seeing that Edmund wanted to speak but stopped, he said, "I know you want to go to Great Route, but I understand and tell you that the purpose of this trip to Great Route is to go to the Seven Waters Capital and safely escort the international students there, and the other is to hand over to Ajin and send him some things, not to cause trouble, so I will send the ships to sail in the official name of the Kingdom Expedition Team, and will not raise the pirate flag."

"Who will lead the team this time?" Edmund asked.

"Alamis," William said.

Edmund turned his eyes when he heard this: "Alamith has so much work and is so important. He is also responsible for the affairs of the Fifth Department of Business and Information. How can he have time to go to the Great Route? Why don't he let me go? You know my strength. After all, great routes are hidden and hiding. Strength is very important, and I am also familiar with Ajin."

William raised his head from the self-recommendation book and glared at Edmund with a stern look: "Your job is not important anymore? Also, how many times have I said, don't talk about the business information department!"

Edmund shrank his head and was quiet for a while before smiling again: "William, you know me best and also my dreams. I have longed for adventure since I was a child. How can we not bring me with us for the first time in exploring a great route?"

"You are too impulsive." William said without comment.

Edmund scratched his ears and his forehead. He really wanted to go to the Great Route too much. He couldn't help but scrape his stomach and wanted to find a reason to convince William. Just as he was thinking, a sudden flash of inspiration in his mind and suggested: "You can find a smart person to look at me and give me some advice!"

"With your status in China, how many 'smart people' are qualified to look at you?" William read the self-recommendation letter again, "Sherlock's strength is too poor, I'm not sure that he enters the Great Route, and the Chamber of Commerce and the Bank cannot do without him. Danpiel is strong enough, but there are many projects in the weapons laboratory. He usually wants to live in the laboratory, so how can he have the leisure to leave his laboratories and go to the Great Route?"

Edmund raised his lips and smiled: "Why do you have to find them? Have you forgotten Clow?"

Seeing that William's eyes finally left the self-recommendation letter again, Edmund continued with his fingers: "The National Security Agency is on track now, and leaving Clow doesn't have much impact. Moreover, Clow has never left since the establishment of this institution, nor has he made any contribution. However, he has always occupied such an important position. Some people may have criticized them in secret."

William's eyes suddenly became very sharp, and Edmund was stared at by his eyes and felt like he was stinging.

"Did you think of these words yourself? No one teaches you?" William leaned on the back of the chair, looked at Edmund, who was helpless, and asked faintly.

Edmund shook his head quickly.

"Who said Clok had no credit? Clok put a lot of effort into the destruction of Redbeard and the Arcadio incident." William said.

"But these credits are invisible. That's as good as the credits of taking a great route in person and returning with honor, and there's nothing to say?" Edmund said.

William squinted his eyes, and his index finger unconsciously tapped the wooden handrail. For a moment, the room became very quiet, leaving only the "tuk-tuk" sound made by William's fingers and handrails. Seeing this, Edmund didn't dare to continue talking. He knew that he could only wait for William to make up his own idea.

After a while, William took out a document from a drawer, and corrected it with a pen, ticked off a few names, added some names, and handed it to Edmund: "This is the list of this expedition team. Since you are leading the team, you can mention any opinions."
