Codex Pirates

Chapter 211 The Team of the Great Route

What William said in the shipyard quickly spread to the outside world, and the shipwrights in the shipyard were all gearing up. Even if they didn't get the highest reward of 500 million Baileys, 10 million Baileys would be a lot of money. , and it is not a one-time reward. If there are any groundbreaking ideas and technologies in the future, you can get another reward.

Eric did not go crazy about the high reward like other masters in the shipyard, but paid more attention to another news that came out together with the reward:

Consul Lord William is going to send some young craftsmen to study abroad in the holy place in the hearts of shipwrights—the capital of seven waters.

Since William came to power, pirates have almost disappeared around the sea area where the country of Navia is located. In the past two years, the people living in Hongye Village have almost forgotten that they are still in the era of great pirates.

The Kingdom of Navia has almost become a paradise in this troubled world, far away from the chaos of war and chaos, and is in danger.

But when it comes to the great sea route, this sea area known as both the pirate cemetery and the pirate paradise, people will remember that the era they live in today is a veritable chaotic world, where pirates and all kinds of criminals Periods of endless chaos.

Although the city of seven waters has a high status in the hearts of shipbuilders, given that it is located on a great voyage, few of those master shipbuilders who have gained status and 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 change their faces.

The only thing that makes these old craftsmen who are unwilling to take risks anymore is that William is looking for young shipwrights this time, and has little to do with them.

Eric, a young shipbuilder at the shipyard, after tossing and turning in bed thinking about it all night, finally decided to take the initiative to submit the application.

Eric doesn't think he is a smart person, let alone a strange person with lofty ambitions, but he understands that the stability and peace of the Navia Kingdom and Hongye Village are not something that comes out of thin air. It is the consul Morgan William and his subordinates. They worked so hard.

Without the consul and his subordinates relying on force to ensure the safety of this sea area, the people of Hongye Village will not be safer than people living in other parts of the world. To have the opportunity to add a bargaining chip to their strength means to represent Hongye Village. A safe life with the people of this country has also added a guarantee.

The more advanced and powerful their warships are, the safer the people in Hongye Village and Navia Kingdom will be.

Although Eric is not a big man who can change the times, he is just a small shipwright, but he might as well contribute a small amount to the hero who can really change this twisted era.

...

"Do you know why I'm looking for young people?" William held a stack of self-recommendation books, with a rare look of complacency on his face, and said after shaking Edmund.

Young people are more energetic, and they are more deeply influenced by William's public opinion. Including Eric, many young people in the shipyard heard the news that they were going to send people to the capital of seven waters, and they took the initiative to recommend themselves, without fear of greatness. The dangers of the route.

"These young people not only know the pain and hardships of the great pirate era, but also have been influenced by education and publicity, and have ideals and passions," William smiled and looked at the stack of self-recommendation books, which was not too thick, and his expression was more than that of seeing various Even more happy with new weapons, "The future must be theirs."

Edmund heard the words, glanced at William, and couldn't help complaining: "What you said made me think you were an old man in his 70s or 80s, and you are only 22 years old this year."

William was startled, and then he couldn't help laughing. Indeed, from the perspective of physical age, he is only 22 years old this year, but his mental age is actually considered an old man.

William did not continue to discuss this topic with Edmund. Seeing that Edmund hesitated to speak, he said: "I know you want to go to the great route, but I will tell you clearly that the purpose of going to the great route this time is , one is to go to the capital of seven waters and escort the foreign students there safely, and the other is to handover with Ah Jin and send him some things, not to cause trouble, so I will send the ship out in the official name of the Kingdom Expedition Team, no The pirate flag will be hoisted."

"Then who will lead the team this time?" Edmund asked.

"Aramis," said William.

Edmund rolled his eyes when he heard that: "Alamis has so much work and is so important, and he is also in charge of the business situation five, how can he have time to go to the great route? Why don't you let me go, you know my strength, After all, the great route hides dragons and crouching tigers, strength is very important, and I am also acquainted with Ah Jin."

William raised his head from the self-recommendation letter, and gave Edmund a stern look: "Your work is not important anymore? Also, how many times have I said, don't talk about the affairs of the Business Intelligence Department 5!"

Edmund shrank his head, and after only being quiet for a while, he said with a playful smile: "William, you know me best, and you also know my dream. I have longed for adventure since I was a child. We explored the great route for the first time. How could we not take me?"

"You're too impulsive." William said noncommittally.

Edmund scratched his head, he really wanted to go to the great route so much, he couldn't help but search his guts, trying to find a reason to persuade William, just as he was thinking, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, and he suggested: "You can find a smart person Look at me and help me out!"

"Given your status in the country, how many 'smart people' are qualified to look after you?" William looked back at the self-recommendation letter, "Sherlock's strength is too weak, I don't trust him to enter the great route, and the chamber of commerce and the bank He is also inseparable from him, Dampier is strong enough, but there are many projects in the weapon laboratory, he usually wants to live in the laboratory, how can he leave his work in the laboratory and go to the great route?"

The corners of Edmund's mouth raised, and he smiled: "Why do you have to find them two? You forgot Cloe?"

Seeing that William's gaze finally left the self-recommendation letter again, Edmond continued with his fingers: "The National Security Agency is on the right track now, and leaving Crowe will not have much impact, and since Crowe started to build this agency until now, I have never left, and I have not made any great contributions, but I have always occupied such an important position, and some people may secretly criticize it."

William's eyes suddenly became very sharp, and Edmund had a tingling illusion when he was stared at by his eyes.

"Did you come up with these words yourself? No one taught you to say them?" William leaned back in his chair, looked at the somewhat bewildered Edmund, and asked indifferently.

Edmond shook his head hastily.

"Who said Croco didn't deserve credit? Croco contributed a lot to the Red Beard's demise and Arcadio's affairs," William said.

"But these credits can't be seen in the light. Is it comparable to the credit of taking a great voyage and returning home with honors, so people have nothing to say?" Edmund said.

William squinted his eyes, and unconsciously tapped the wooden handrail with his index finger. The room became very quiet for a while, except for the sound of William's fingers colliding with the handrail. Edmund didn't dare to continue talking. I went down, knowing that when it comes to this, I can only wait for William to make up his mind.

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