East Coast.
When the tide recedes, a large number of shells, starfish, crabs and other seafood remain on the beach soaked in sea water. Fishermen have already begun to salvage seafood.
Liszt rides on the back of Li Dragon Horse.
I watched a large group of people busy barefoot on the beach. They were busy connecting ropes. They found almost all the ropes in the town and twisted them into a rope.
Kosto dived to find the location of the sunken ship and put the rope on the keel of the sunken ship.
He swam back again and waved to everyone. "Pull! You can pull!"
Dozens of serfs, like trackers on the Volga River, took heavy steps and tightened the rope in an instant. Under the command of Gortai, they shouted slogans and used all their strength, "One, two, three!"
One, two!
Three!
The slogans came one after another.
The rope tightened their shoulders, relaxing and tightening with the rhythm of their bodies. Step by step, their feet sank deeply into the yellow sand. Some of them were half a hundred old people, and some were young teenagers, doing the same work. Their clothes were in tatters, their faces were dark, their hair stuck to their foreheads, and sweat was dripping.
They really look like trackers on the Volga River.
But they are not.
Repin's famous painting "Trackers on the Volga River", Liszt, has seen it, it is included in the Chinese textbook. The trackers in the painting have been tugging boats by the river all year round, and life has devastated them to the point of callousness. Flower Town These temporary trackers have smiles on their faces, even though the sun is burning above their heads.
Because of this tracker's work, everyone can earn an income of Copper Coin.
The lord who came here from the great Tulip Castle was generous and kind, and brought them plenty of food, jingling Copper Coin, and even silver coins and gold coins!
Life has never been so full of hope.
"One, two, three!"
"Harder!" Gortai yelled from the side, "You lazy guys, haven't you eaten yet?"
On the sea surface, Kosto kept diving and surfacing, shouting loudly, "Pull harder, the hull has been pulled out! Try harder, and the bow will be pulled out!"
Several slogans fell to the ground.
Kosto shouted loudly again, "It was successful, the sunken ship was successfully pulled out of the silt and sea sand!"
After pulling it out, the trackers became more and more calm and easily dragged the broken sunken ship all the way to the beach. The sunken ship, covered with green algae, could no longer look like its original shape. Only one mast was left, which was still broken. There were holes everywhere in the hull, and crabs crawled out of it from time to time.
"Sir, the sunken ship has been salvaged!" Gortai said excitedly.
Kosto also came over. "The old-fashioned ketch, looking at this shape, should be a ship from a hundred years ago. Lord, this should be a ship from Sapphire Grand Duchy. A hundred years ago, only Grand Duchy could build a ketch."
Liszt rode on a horse and circled around the sunken ship. "Is it a sunken ship a hundred years ago? So, is it a merchant ship? Or a warship?"
"It should be a merchant ship. The cabin is sealed and is used for transporting cargo."
"Then what are you waiting for? Teacher Gortai, let people dismantle this century-old cargo ship. I want to see what is left in its cargo hold."
"As you wish!"
It is difficult to build a ship, but it is very fast to dismantle it. After a while, the cabin was smashed open. A patrol team got in and pulled out some cloth that had been soaked by the sea water, as well as some grain remains. This was probably a merchant ship that trafficked cloth and grain, and it sank somehow.
"Is this a small amount of treasure from sunken ships?" Liszt said he didn't believe it.
As expected.
A patrol member suddenly shouted, "There are boxes. There are several boxes here. They are intact and the locks have not been opened!"
"Get the boxes out quickly!"
"Give me a hammer. The box is stuck in the keel of the ship. I have to hammer the wood into pieces."
After some fiddling, a total of five large boxes were dragged out of the cabin of the sunken ship and placed on the beach. Kosto looked around the boxes and came to the conclusion. "Lord, this should be redwood, which is strong and durable, and has obviously been waterproofed. There must be valuables in the boxes."
Liszt smiled, "In that case, move them to my castle... By the way, everyone involved in the salvage this time will be paid double. Captain Kosto discovered the sunken ship, so reward him with a gold coin."
He hasn't seen what's in the box yet.
The rewards were distributed immediately, with the purpose of encouraging the citizens to discover, explore, and contribute more good things to him. At the same time, this gold coin also encouraged Kosto to recruit more sailor apprentices to see if he could really build a group of qualified sailors.
Five large boxes, each as big as a desk, were neatly placed in the hall of the castle.
The lock is probably made of brass and has become rusty.
Carter guards the box and prohibits servants from approaching it.
So the maids and male servants could only crowd at the door of the hall and look at the boxes curiously.
"Debbie, what do you think it contains? Is there a mermaid?"
"Maybe it's Song Demon, there's Song Demon on the sea."
"The box is quite old. Even if it contained the mermaid and Song Demon, it would have been reduced to bones long ago."
"That's not necessarily true. I heard that mermaids can live for hundreds of years!"
"I guess there are gold coins in there, no, it's Dragon Coin! A box full of Dragon Coin can buy the entire Flower Town."
"Jim, think about it carefully. The entire Flower Town, including you and me, can't be sold for even a few Dragon Coin! One box of Dragon Coin can buy the entire Coral Island!"
Carter turned around and scolded the chirping servant, "Have you forgotten the etiquette of the nobles? Do your own work well and don't pay attention to things that have nothing to do with you. Do you understand?"
Mrs. Morson also came down from upstairs, glanced at several maids, and settled on Maisie: "The hygiene of the master's study is not up to standard. There are even crumbs in the corner. Maisie, this is your dereliction of duty. You need to clean it again."
"Yes, Mrs. Morson." Maisie nodded in agreement and quickly went to get the cleaning tools.
After being scolded by the two housekeepers, all the servants did not dare to make mistakes and returned to their jobs one after another. Only Carter and Mosen were left in the hall.
"Master hasn't come back yet?"
"The master went to the Dragon Sunflower field. The Dragon Sunflower in the field is not very good. The master is trying to find a solution."
"I've seen that Dragon Sunflower plant, and it's really not in good condition. Mr. Carter, do you think it can still survive?"
"I believe it can." Carter smiled slightly, "Because the master will save it. Knight's Glory takes care of Flower Town, and he also takes care of the master."
Liszt didn't know that his butler trusted him so much.
At this time, he was looking at Dragon Sunflower, which was almost extinct, frowning and thinking about how he could help it condense Magic Power: "The mission said 'Magic Power that is as warm as water' ' is losing, does it mean that Dragon Sunflower needs to replenish the water attribute Magic Power? Only Marcus and I in this town have the attribute fighting spirit, but they are fire and wind."
suddenly.
A flash of inspiration.
He thought of Black Pearl. Among his Gemstone Spaces, there were fourteen Black Pearls with water attributes. "Perhaps, I can grind up Black Pearls, sprinkle them on the roots of Dragon Sunflowers, and let them absorb the water attribute Magic Powers on their own... I don't know if the idea is right, but this is the only way that seems to work at the moment."
Treating a dead horse as a live doctor, he immediately took out a fist-sized piece of Black Pearl, ground it up and buried it at the root of Dragon Sunflower.
"Whether you live or die, it depends on Dragon Sunflower's fate." He got on his horse and rushed towards the castle. There were five boxes with treasures hidden there, waiting for him to open them.
