The Defeated Dragon
Chapter 333: Facing the Sea and Blossoming in the Spring (Third, Alliance Leader Supplement 4/18)
Arrive at Flower Harbor in the evening.
After ascertaining that Archer had returned to the beach, Lester returned directly to the castle and began to draw how many gold coins he had. As a result, if he did not sell his fixed assets, he would only be able to collect about a hundred gold coins - the flower brewing market had not been fully opened, and it would be difficult to raise many gold coins in the short term.
“This money is not enough to buy a medium-sized marine vessel, and at least 500 gold coins must be prepared. ”
The first Grand Duke of Sapphire, Anderson Sapphire, lived on the continent before the creation of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, and had not entered the age of navigation.
Ships are mostly powered by paddles, bamboo, and bamboo. They sail in inland lakes and rivers, and rarely go out to sea.
I don't know what era the sail was invented in, but if we're going to go back, it goes back to the Moon Empire - all the cultural sources of the world that can relate to the Moon Empire.
But the sailboat must have been enlivened by the Grand Duchy of Sapphires, because it was the first country on which humankind was founded.
The island lacks serfdom, food and minerals.
Everything has to be taken from the continent.
Inland boats such as paddle boats are simply unable to withstand wind waves, and sailboats become the dominant force of navigation, propelled by war and rapidly developing among the islands within the Grand Duchy of Sapphires.
Basically, paddle boats have been eliminated here.
Only sailboats are being built and sold.
Windsurfers currently have three classes - small sailboats, medium sailboats, and large sailboats.
Windsurfs are all transverse sails, and of course, in an age when longitudinal sails were not invented, they were all called sails in unison, and only Lester would distinguish them by sails.
The sail of a mast, more accurately known as a square sail, is somewhat similar to that used by the Viking pirates and hangs a huge square sail.
The wingsail of a dual mast is made up of a small transverse sail on one side, as are the wingsails of a triple mast.
There are three different types of sailboats: cargo boats, regular boats, and fast boats. The cargo ships are spacious and huge, but slow to travel; the fast boats are narrow and the cargo compartments are small, but they travel very fast; and the regular boats are a combination of the two, not too small and not too slow.
The Flower is a regular sailboat with a double mast.
Distinguish by Volkswagen Ship Cost.
A mast of regular sailing vessels is between 50 and 200 gold coins; a mast of cargo sailing vessels is between 100 and 300 gold coins; and a mast of fast sailing vessels is between 200 and 400 gold coins.
Between 500 and 1,000 regular sailboats, the Flower is worth at least 500 gold coins; between 800 and 1,200 gold coins for dual masts; and between 1,000 and 1,500 gold coins for dual masts.
Three mast regular sailboats range from 2,000 to 3,000 gold coins; three mast sailboats range from 2,500 to 4,000 gold coins; and three mast fast sailboats range from at least 5,000 to 6,000 gold coins.
At present, there is only a family of sapphires that can build fast sailboats with three masts and are not sold to the public for use as warships. Only a small gift - after the retirement of Marquis Merlin Yam, he was awarded three sapphire sailboats by the Grand Duke for his contribution to the Grand Duchy.
“The task requires a medium-sized sailboat, the cheapest of which is 500 gold coins, either to smash pots and sell iron, or to borrow money.” Lester touched his chin and felt he had nothing to sell.
And only temporarily scarce.
Flowers can still earn hundreds of gold coins a month, simply floral earnings and advance earnings from Tulip Castle in the coming weeks.
Think here.
He immediately wrote a letter to Livius and asked Gaultai to take the letter to Tulip Chambers: "Counsellor Gaultai, I hope you will accompany the merchant team in picking the right double mast sailing boat, not too expensive, we will only sail between Black Horse Island and Flower Town. ”
“Sir, would you like to hire a dock to build a new boat or just buy a medium-sized sailboat?” Gaultai received the letter and asked.
“Of course…” Lister wanted to say, of course, to buy a new ship.
But it suddenly occurred to me that the smoke mission was just for him to buy another medium-sized sea boat, neither asking for a newly built sea boat, nor for a freighter or a regular boat.
If so, why not buy an old boat?
The Flower is an old boat, or a sewn old boat, but it runs smoothly at sea, nothing wrong. In particular, rubber water has recently been poured into the gap of the boat, making the Flower more robust and stable, with no signs of leakage, or at least a decade of navigation.
Bought an old boat, stitched it up and rubberized it to make it perfect for a new boat.
So he temporarily changed his mind: "So buy an old boat and keep the price within 500 gold coins. ”
"My lord, quite coincidentally, I've heard recently that the Tulip Chamberlain merchants are preparing to replace a new boat, which is still related to Flower Town's specialty flower brewing. Mr. Frank told me that Sir Livius was preparing to form a dedicated wine convoy to buy a fast sailboat and replace several cargo ships. ”
White wine is valuable and using a fast sailing boat reduces sailing time and transport risks.
“Well, since that's the case, pick a relatively good one from this cargo ship and buy it. ”
“as you wish, my lord. ”
……
Gaultai went to buy a boat.
This will take about a few days, when the castle is ready to demolish the Shell Wood Building and repair it as it was. As for Lester, he rarely stayed in the castle, as news of the slaughter of Six King Sea Snakes had spread, and the aristocrats of North Valley City had come to pay their respects.
He was impatient to receive these aristocrats and had no common language but to eat and drink.
So all the reception assignments were handed over to Zambrota —— the town of Flowers with good diplomatic skills, except for Gaulte, which was the only Zambrota left.
As an aristocrat who had been stripped of his title, he was not good at practical work and was skilled at fictitious work.
He also had the important task of rejecting all requests for intermediate sea monster materials, all of which were not for sale.
Don't be bothered by the case, Lester, and feel comfortable building a golden house to hide on the beach.
On the beach after the tide receded, excavate a large pit of 500 square feet, fill it with plenty of rock and sea sand, and mix the rubber water for stirring.
Sun exposure.
The settling speed was fast and took hours, and a platform similar to the cement platform was built.
The beach is soft and the foundation is not deep, but the platform is large enough to be strong enough to remain very stable and unaffected by the flushing of the sea after the tide.
On the platform, continue to build a stone house.
This stone house will be submerged in the sea water when the tide rises, allowing Archer to enter and exit freely, while the upper level of the stone house will continue to build a wooden house for Lester to live in, and Archer can follow the steps to read books and study magic.
Drug addiction, fighting, listening to the sea monster sing.
Facing the sea, spring and blossom.
