Chapter 43: Meeting Sammy Again

The next day, at 9:00 am.

Jacques took Fat Orange and followed the address provided by his father to Berthale No. 27 of the Canal Pier.

The canal of Musai Port leads directly to the Ronal River and is connected to the harbor. Various types of materials from the New World are usually unloaded from the sea boats, loaded into small boats sailing on the canal, heading north along the river, and finally reaching the various municipalities and towns of the Principal of Castia.

When the grain harvest season comes, countless small boats are loaded with grain along the canal of the Ronald River-Musai Port to the harbor, stuffed with grain transport ships from the Kingdom of Light. The prosperity of the Musail Port was established in this swallowing and spitting.

When Lee Baptist was in charge of Musai Harbor in his early years, glass products and steam engines were also the main commodities of Musai Harbor. Later, Lee Baptist contributed the benefits of the nautical formation to the royal family, and disclosed all his inventions in the Guild of the Supernatural. The industrial products of Musai Harbor were no longer the only ones in the entire empire. The cities of Rendynume and Glas of the Principal of Stuart came from behind and became the industrial centers of the empire.

However, Musai Port has a unique business, which is difficult for other cities to take away, and it is traded with grain from the Kingdom of Light. The southern part of the Principality of Castia is a famous grain-producing area. The land is fertile and the climate is suitable. It is ripe for two years. The developed water transportation can easily gather a large amount of grain at Musai Port. From this, loading the ship and driving along the coast for a few days can reach Weijia, the harbor of the Kingdom of Light.

The Kingdom of Light is located on a narrow peninsula extending eastward from the mainland. It is only equivalent to half a Castia. It is mountainous in the middle, with a small arable land area, but a large population. The area bordering the Principal of Saxony to the west is a desert, a region ruled by alien beasts, and it is difficult for humans to pass through, so sea transportation has become the main way for trade between the Kingdom of Light and the Empire. The Kingdom of Light implements a unique principle of equal distribution, and no one has private property, and all resources are allocated by the church.

Since the failure of Emperor Xizar to the east to expedition the Kingdom of Light, the Empire has reached a trade agreement with the Kingdom of Light that lasted for more than 900 years. The Empire exchanged various materials for the source stones produced by the Kingdom of Light. Since the population of the Kingdom of Light has been high, the production of cultivated land cannot be afforded, and it has not colonized the New World, the Kingdom of Light has been using source stones to exchange food with the Empire to fill the stomachs of the people.

The imperial royal family received the source stone and paid silver coins to the Principality of Castia. The merchants of the Principality used Rifle to buy the grain from the farmers and sent it to the Port of Musai and Castia for silver coins. Finally, under the supervision of the acceptance officers of the Kingdom of Light, a warehouse of grain was loaded with Shanghai ships in the port, which was considered to be a trade between the two countries.

The Guardian Saint Day is held after the first grain goes to sea every year, and it is gradually fixed on the last weekend of July. At this time, the farmers just received the Rifle who had exchanged for early rice and planted late rice. After paying the taxes of the empire and the rent of the nobles, they still had some ample hands. The grand event can give them reasons and motivation to spend in the city.

The dock in early July is the season for harvesting food, and it is extremely busy, so the entire dock area has no motivation to arrange real experts to participate in the training of the Guardians Battle.

Jacques stood at berth No. 27, and in front of him was the small boat that had been used for many years.

There are 12 long oars on both sides of the hull, which are about ten meters long, fixed with iron rings. There is a seat at the stern of the boat that is more than one meter higher than the hull, just enough to sit down a person's seat, and a drum is fixed in front of the seat. The most eye-catching thing is the platform that extends out toward the forty-five degrees of the bow, which is only for one person to stand, and is a triangular shape, similar to an exaggerated collision angle, supported by four woods, extending forward about four meters higher than the hull, which is the position for the guardian to stand. The guardian platform

Behind, there is a metal rod hanging out half a meter in the air, and a metal ring is fixed at the top. A wooden saint statue, a person tall, just fitted into this ring. The ring is stuck on the hips of the saint standing with a sword, maintaining balance. However, if there is a slight external force, the moving ring will rotate, and the saint statue with a head-heavy foot will rotate and then fall into the water. Jacques feels that if the guardian does not reach out to hold the saint statue, just collision with the hull, it will lose balance and slide out of the ring.

At this time, a few people gathered at Berthal No. 27, including old sailors with white hair, middle-aged uncles who were drinking in the morning, big fat men with more than 300 kilograms, thin and sick young men, fair-skinned and clerk dressed in glasses, and Jacques, a boy with pet cat, can be said to be a gathering of all kinds of crooked melons and cracked dates.

The most powerful bald man who looked like he stood up to greet Jacques when he saw him. Then Jacques learned that this strong man of the New World Aboriginal blood named Asan was the captain and guardian of the docks. He was a guard at the warehouse and had participated in the competition for the docks for the fifth time in a row. The clerk wearing glasses was named Lynch, the deputy captain and the commander of the drums, and the documentary of the Port Authority.

The last person to arrive made Jacques's eyes lit up, it was his neighbor Sammy Gillette.

Since Sammy went to work in a fishing boat, the two have not met each other. When they met again, Jacques found that Sammy had not only grown taller, but also became darker and stronger. Ignoring the still childish faces of the two, Jacques and Sammi are no longer inferior to adults in terms of height and figure. After chatting, they realized that the owner of the fishing boat who worked in Sammy was assigned a place to participate, so they threw Sammy to Yingmao. There was a subsidy of 300 Rifts per training day. Sammy was also happy, so why not do it?

After all the staff arrived, Asan asked each of them to introduce himself. Among the fourteen people, there were six awakened people, including the captain, Asan, deputy captain, clerk, Roman, porter of the alcoholic dock, Reus, old sailor, Jacques, and Harrison, a red-haired middle-aged man from Tavern Street.

Seeing that everyone was here, Asan ordered to set off on the boat. When Luz, a fat man from the Port Authority, got on the boat, the boat shaking violently. The saint's statue tilted and fell into the canal with a thud. The thin sailor Eddie jumped into the water from a beautiful fish on the pier, caught up with the floating saint's statue and dragged it back onto the boat.

When he was at the berth, Jacques found that the red-haired Harrison seemed a little afraid of cats. When he saw Fatty Orange approaching, he hid aside. Jacques got the captain's approval and took Fatty Orange to the boat. After getting on board, Jacques and Harrison, who were also awakened, were assigned to paddle in the first row. The red-haired Harrison stared at Fatty Orange squatting at Jacques' feet, and fine beads of sweat oozing out from his forehead.

After boarding the ship, the paddlers first learned how to follow Lynch's drum beats.
