our family is gone

A fleet is sailing at sea, the middle ones are all cargo ships, and the outer ones are three fast boats cruising, serving as guards and observation positions. Once danger is found, besides notifying the cargo ships, they must fight those enemies .

"Land! See Hamlet!"

The sailors on guard above the mast kept shouting to the bottom, and soon those people became restless, and bursts of cheers spread the news.

This is not only because I can go home, but also because running a boat in summer is really a kind of torture.

The deck is like a frying pan, the scorching sun is drying people out, and no matter how much water they drink, it is difficult to relieve it.

And entering the cabin is like being stuffed into a steamer, and there is also a mixture of sweat, foot odor and various strange smells.

Among these sailors was a young man standing on the bow of the ship looking up at the blue sea and blue sky. He was wearing a very ordinary sailor suit, with a headscarf wrapped around his hair, his exposed skin was bronzed, and his whole body was full of vitality. It was Little John who had experienced with the ship.

Going out is the most exercise, but it only took a month to make a strong difference in his temperament. It is not as ordinary as before, but full of vigor and vitality.

This trip did not stay in Totnes for a long time, but there are several cities or special large towns on their route, and it is also time-consuming to supply or trade.

In the past, there were not many ships on this route due to pirates, but as long as there are enough gold coins, there are still some merchants who will take risks for profit.

And their trip also attracted a lot of people who wanted to do business with Hamlet, just look at the cargo ships of different sizes in the fleet.

And if everyone walks together, even if you encounter pirates, you may not be unable to walk away. In the same sentence, you just need to run faster than others.

However, there is a ship in the fleet that looks very unique. Its style is not like a conventional ship. Little John only knows that it is a Roma ship, but he doesn't know much about it. It seems that they have a relationship with the lord. What deal.

"We will arrive at Hamlet in a short time, and you will meet the lord at that time." Little John introduced a man beside him who was dressed in a style different from that of the empire.

Little John has seen the world and knows that they are Levantine people on the other side of the sea.

The man looked middle-aged, with a white turban wrapped around his head, his face was thin and slightly wrinkled, and he had a mustache and a goatee.

He was wearing a gorgeous robe, exquisite accessories, a leather waist bag with several leather scrolls bound to it, and a machete-shaped dagger at his waist. Looking at the complicated patterns on it, it was obvious that this was not ordinary. goods.

The man looked a little thin, but Little John didn't dare to underestimate this man.

When the fleet stopped in Totnes, he was found by him. This man actually knew that they came from Hamlet and would go back to Hamlet with the ship.

They definitely disagreed at first, but after seeing the strength of this Levantine, they agreed.

Because he accurately predicted an attack on the fleet and at the same time helped the fleet solve some troubles, but his methods were very weird, so the person in charge had to agree.

And what's even more weird is that this person was able to lead the fleet to avoid pirates, and he had never encountered pirates this way.

Regardless of his credit or not, the person in charge gave him great treatment and even arranged a separate room for him on the ship.

Few who can be businessmen don't know how to be flexible.

He hadn't gotten close to Hamlet yet, but the middle-aged man's deep eyes looked over there as if he had noticed something, his face looked a little dignified, he couldn't help clasping his hands together and making a weird gesture, closing his eyes and muttering.

"I feel... it's here."

"A place so wicked, an abyss shrouded in despair."

"Is that power... stronger?"

Little John didn't show any surprise when he listened to his babbling words, because this person has always been like this, saying words that other people couldn't understand.

But this does not mean that he agrees with this person's words.

What is an evil place?What is an abyss shrouded in despair?
If it was before the arrival of the lord, he would have agreed, but it is absolutely impossible now!

He has also been to a prosperous place like Totnes, but there are still "evil" places like the outer city and suburban farms.

On the contrary, Hamlet is thriving under the leadership of the lord, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and the folk customs are simple...

As time went by, the land in front of him gradually grew larger, and Hamlet's small port appeared in the field of vision.

And those sailors also cheered to celebrate this safe journey.

Not every time it can be like this time, no violent storms, no pirates looting, this is really a blessing from the sea.

"This port is almost unrecognizable." Standing at the bow of the ship, Little John couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he saw the building in front of him.

When they left, it was still a dilapidated place where only fishing boats could dock, and even larger boats were difficult to dock.

It was completely new after a month, and it was expanded. Looking at the unfinished project and the busy workers on it, it is obvious that this has to continue.

When the fleet appeared here, small boats sailed from the port to communicate with them, and then led by the small boats, those ships entered the dock in an orderly manner.

At the same time, someone will come out to dock with each ship, and the overall management is even more perfect than that of Totnes, which relies entirely on self-consciousness.

The captains of these cargo ships have also traveled to many places. They thought that such a large fleet would take a long time to mess around in such a small place, but they didn't expect to be able to settle them so quickly.

These cargo ships who came to Hamlet for the first time also felt the power behind the order and rules.

"John, you take this gentleman to the lord first."

The captain of the merchant ship needs to be busy handing over the cargo, but it is obviously impossible to let the distinguished guests wait here.

"Good captain!"

Little John knew that the lord asked him to follow the boat so that he could learn more things, so he didn't stop his pace and actively participated in various affairs on the boat. He asked if he didn't understand, and tried his best to grasp the information given to him by the lord. Chance.

Obviously, he has successfully gained everyone's approval during this journey, and got rid of the "small" character similar to his baby name.

Little John took the man off the boat, walked on the streets of Hamlet, and couldn't help showing him off and talking about the changes in Hamlet.

The man's eyes moved back and forth around, but the focus was different.

"The corruption didn't spread..."

At this moment, Lance was staying in the room, and there were a lot of strange things on the table.

These things are also harvested by the Beast Cave and the party, obtained from the secret room, Lance instinctively feels that these things are related to the Ascension Sect's plan in the Beast Cave.

Lance was trying to decipher those strange manuscripts and strange symbols written on human skin. As he researched, he discovered that most of these things turned out to be research on those pigs, and there were many operations on transforming pigs. notes.

There are not only records of their armed transformation of pigmen, but also material support for them. What's even more weird is that it mentions that the ancestors are guiding those pigmen to open their wisdom. According to the above observations, pigmen have even produced primitive pigmen. Worship this collective consciousness.

And the object of their worship is not detailed in the text, but it can still be seen from a few words that it is definitely not a good thing.

And the bloody sacrificial place they found in the beast cave at that time proved this.

Judging from the material of the paper, it must be at least many years old. From the current development of the pigs, it can be seen that these pigs are far from that simple.

Now the wilderness development process has been accelerated because of these new refugees, but it will take time to get through it completely, and Lance must take advantage of this time to start cleaning the beast den as soon as possible, otherwise the ancestor will really join the pigmen. It's troublesome to get up.

In fact, Lance still has empty pockets, which makes him seem very insecure as a hamster party, and it's time to ask Brother Pig for some money.

Although the environment was a bit poor last time, the service was enthusiastic and left a deep impression on Lance.

Come to them next time.

And at this moment, Lance seemed to feel something, and couldn't help but look up, his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the wall.

"My lord, the fleet is back. Little John wanted to see your lord, but he brought someone here." Until Susan's voice came through the door.

"I see, let Little John come in first, and the guests will take them to the living room." Lance agreed casually, raised his hand to sweep the table, and all those things were put into the showroom.

"Yes." The sound of Susan's footsteps receded outside, and then a brisk footstep came up.

"grown ups!"

"Come in." Lance looked at Little John who pushed the door open and couldn't help but smile and praise, "Not bad! You have grown up a lot. If a man wants to grow up, he must go out and gain experience."

"Thank you sir for giving me this opportunity, otherwise I might not even be able to get out of that grain store."

"Is there any danger on this trip? What interesting things happened along the way."

Lance didn't talk about business directly, but spent a few words caring about him.

A little greeting can bring the relationship between the two closer, which will be psychologically satisfying for a person who has returned from a mission.

Obviously, after getting Lance's affirmation, Little John's state became a little excited, and at the same time, he talked about their journey along this topic.

Salted fish and the like can't be bought at a price in coastal areas, and they are goods transported inland by Walter's convoy.

In terms of grain and livestock, Lance even forbids the export of them. Instead, he has been buying in large quantities. He has a premonition that the situation will become more difficult. Whoever controls the grain in this world will control the initiative.

So the cargo of this fleet is mainly agricultural and sideline products, such as eggs, bacon, cotton and linen cloth, handicrafts, and the most important snowflake salt.

When Snowflake Salt has gimmicks such as Totnes, alchemy, and special use for foreign nobles, it can raise a good price, and there is no need to worry about selling it.

In the end, it was because Hamlet had nothing to sell after losing the mainstay product of food.

At the same time, Lance also spent a lot of money to order a batch of pistols, gunpowder, and iron ingots from Totnes. These goods could not even be loaded in their own ships, so they had to hire other cargo ships, and there was the previous fleet.

Of course, there is another reason for this is the special product of Totnes free for a limited time-refugees.

According to Little John's description, instead of shrinking, the refugee camp in Totnes has expanded, and the environment has become even harsher.

It seems that the haze of war is approaching, and even the powerful Totnes has been affected.

But for Lance, the more than 1000 refugees brought back this trip were all selected. With their participation, Hamlet's development will be further improved.

In fact, the consumption of this trip far outweighs the benefits, but in Lance's opinion, it is worth it, because he has collected a lot of information on coastal cities and port towns.

At the same time, gold coins were used to open up this route again. In front of gold coins, even pirates could hardly stop their determination to ride the wind and waves.

"That man is very strange. He came over by himself just as our ship entered the port..." Little John suddenly mentioned it with a strange expression, and then explained the original situation.

If Hamlet's business group wants to establish a foothold in Totnes, it will inevitably attract the attention of some people. The market is so big, and you are bound to take part of the profits when you enter.

For businessmen, it is a meat grinder, and it is also very exclusive. The thugs they raise are used at this time.

At the same time, this is also a test to see if the newcomers have the ability to gain a foothold in Totnes. If they don't have this ability, they can only use local channels, and the profits will naturally be divided. part.

Those powerful guys don't even need to run a real business. They just need to put their names out and there will be countless people sending money to their door, just waiting to collect the money.

It is not Lance's character to succumb to those who pick their hair, and he is actually prepared for this. The naval soldiers led by Captain Wilson are not new to blood.

What's more, Walt has a shop in Totnes, so he mainly buys from Totnes instead of dumping. The business is not big, so he doesn't care too much.

"That man has been following us. Inexplicably, he told the captain that someone would attack us that night. Captain Wilson paid more attention to the news and sent more people. Sure enough, an attack happened in the second half of the night..."

Just as he imagined, it is not difficult for the trained and cooperative naval soldiers to deal with those gangsters.

But the muskets used by the gang members still injured many soldiers, and at this time the man shot.

"At that time, the gangsters who attacked us were repulsed, but several brothers were injured. Everyone felt that they could not be saved, but he came up and said that he could save people, and the request was to come back with us." (End of this chapter)
