From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider
Chapter 71 Black Feather Island
The favor of the sea god?
The power bestowed?
What does this have to do with the fear of seeing him fighting?
Krober was a little impatient with Yan's long-winded narration.
However, Krober has always been more tolerant of valuable people, so he chose to suppress his doubts and chose to listen quietly.
"In the murals recorded in our tribe, it was recorded that a terrifying alien god defeated the messenger of the sea god and massacred the island."
"According to the detailed records of the murals, the alien god has golden divine power with a dark blood color, and she has two terrifying messengers.
One is extremely hideous and brings death and fear to people. The other is smaller in size, but is proficient in killing, and it also feeds on human blood!
Not only that, when our ancestors sacrificed to Lord Sea God, Lord Sea God sent messengers to help us fight against the alien god.
But the alien god defeated the messenger sent by Lord Sea God in just a few moves."
At this point, Yan set his sights on Krober.
After listening to Yan's introduction, Kroeber had a general guess in his mind.
First of all, the stone tablet on the Holy Beast Island should record a secret book of water-attributed Dou Qi. Kroeber couldn't tell the specific level, but judging from the quality of Yan's Dou Qi, it shouldn't be too high.
However, what interested Kroeber was the murals in their tribe that recorded history. Yan couldn't even speak clearly, and he kept talking about "sea god". Instead of wasting time here, he might as well go there and find out.
But before that, he had to finish all the things on hand.
Black Feather Island was still a mess waiting for him to deal with.
Since Yan had shown his own value and had the idea of joining Kroeber, Kroeber allowed him to leave the dungeon and no longer be imprisoned as a prisoner.
However, he still couldn't leave that area too far, but just expanded his range of activities.
As for the "alien god", if nothing unexpected happened, it should be Grand Duke Veronica. But listening to the description, why does it feel like it was before the founding of the Golden Grand Duchy?
Since the founding of the Golden Grand Duchy, Grand Duke Veronica rarely went out. Even if she went out, she would be guarded by the Dragon Breath Knights. Generally, she would not ride a dragon alone.
After all, she had served for so long. Krober knew from personal experience that if it were not for Grand Duke Veronica's sense of responsibility, she would not have stayed in bed for a whole day, and how could she have gone overseas to fight for nothing.
Krober guessed that it was when the Grand Duke or the Princess of the Emerald Kingdom went out to travel.
After getting the information he wanted, Krober did not intend to waste time in the Three Daughters Islands. He planned to set off immediately to see the situation on Black Feather Island.
As the closest island to the Holy Beast Island in a straight line, Krober naturally planned to get the Three Daughters Islands into his own hands, but the premise was to build his fiefdom.
You can't eat a fat man in one bite. Krober knew this truth very well. With his current strength, it was almost impossible to swallow so many territories without even infrastructure, unless he got the help of the Golden Rose Family.
However, the Golden Rose Family is also busy building new territories at this moment. Although it is not difficult to support some troops, if it involves population or other material support, I am afraid they will feel stretched.
After all, the newly acquired fiefdom is extremely vast, and most of it is still controlled by Marquis Daniel himself, so all the initial investment will be borne by the Golden Rose Family alone.
"Pass my order, pack your bags, and set off for Black Feather Island immediately. I want to personally check what my fiefdom looks like now."
Not long after, Krober and his party led a fleet of several full ships to Black Feather Island.
Well... Krober couldn't think of a good name for a while, so he just used the previous name to make do. When there is a suitable elf, he will change his surname and the name of the island.
————
The captain that Conrad lent to Krober is indeed an experienced and excellent talent. He can often identify the correct direction and go to the destination at the fastest speed.
Starting from the Three Daughters Island, Kroeber and his party reached the Black Feather Island after about two or three days of sailing on the sea.
This was much shorter than the originally planned time.
This captain is really a rare talent! Not only does he know the terrain well, but he also has extremely rich sailing experience, such as identifying directions through astronomical phenomena and judging where there are reefs by observing the sea surface.
These skills are what Kroeber and his subordinates lack.
"If it weren't for him being a member of the Qingyu Grass family, I would definitely recruit him without hesitation."
Kroeber sighed in his heart.
After all, the other party is from the Qingyu Grass family. If he secretly poaches them behind their backs, this behavior will probably cause a lot of criticism once it is spread.
It would be better to find a suitable time to talk to Conrad Qingyu Grass and see if he can win over the captain through a deal.
However, if he chooses to poach secretly, it is equivalent to directly provoking the majesty of the Qingyu Grass family. Doing so is really more harmful than beneficial, and it is likely to bring himself a lot of unnecessary trouble.
When he arrived at Black Feather Island, the situation on the island was beyond Kroeber's expectations.
He originally thought that Black Feather Island had turned into ruins, but what he saw in front of him was much better than he imagined.
Since there is no longer a ruling family here, the Qingyucao family, as the nearest noble family, naturally assumes the task of maintaining order here.
While Krober was performing his mission, officials sent by the Green Feather Grass family had already begun to take in civilians and organized them to repair and rebuild their homes.
Although most places still look dilapidated, some important facilities have been almost rebuilt.
As a trade import and export island, Black Feather Island itself has no city walls. As far as you can see, there are various residential buildings and shops. There are also a lot of entertainment facilities like pubs or casinos.
There is almost one on every street.
Arriving at the castle where the Black Feather family originally lived, the manager sent by the Qing Yucao family usually lives and works here.
This castle is called Black Feather Castle. It seems that the people of the Black Feather family don't have the ability to name it.
After verifying Krober's badge and identity, the soldier guarding the door immediately stood up, silently opened the door behind him, and invited Krober and others to enter.
Black Feather Castle,
It is mainly made of bluestone. The city wall is not high but extremely strong.
The castle has a small tower, and there is an observation deck above the tower, where you can spot nearby enemies at any time.
The castle has only one small gate, which is the only way in and out of the castle. There is also a pattern of black feather grass carved on the door.
Entering the castle, there is a small courtyard inside. There is a fountain in the courtyard. There is a statue standing in the fountain, but the head and arms of the statue have disappeared, leaving only the body part.
It is said that it is the statue of the slain Baron Sosko.
Although the rooms inside the castle are not large, they are very warmly decorated.
It can be seen that even if the pirates and Yan and the others ransacked the castle, part of the Black Feather family's wealth still remained here.
There was a warm fireplace in the living room, and a gorgeous tapestry hung on the wall. Krober looked at the tapestry. It was much more expensive than the fabric that Ethan (the pirate leader) stole. It was made from the fur of an intermediate-level Warcraft. tapestry.
The officials sent by the Qing Yucao family were working in the hall at this time.
The official was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw the arrival of Krober and others. After seeing the identity certificate and the appointment letter of the Grand Duke presented by Krober, the official smiled on his face.
"Please, my lord."
The official led Krober to the top position, and he began to describe the general situation of Black Feather Island.
"The current building damage rate on Black Feather Island is about 60%. I have asked them to build all important facilities first to maintain the basic operation of the island."
Seeing that Krober did not stop him, the official continued:
"After the pirate attack, there are about 2,000 civilians on Black Feather Island. Most of these people survived by hiding when they encountered pirates."
"There is not much currency left on the island. Only some silver coins and copper coins are in circulation, and there are only a few gold coins."
After the eloquent introduction, the general meaning is that Black Feather Island is currently in dire need of development and can only maintain the most basic normal operation. If it wants to develop, it must increase its population.
Krober deposited all the wealth recovered from the pirates in Black Feather Castle, and asked Herman to take over thirty soldiers to take over the defense of Black Feather Island and maintain order.
Hewell took on the position of Chief Clerk and was responsible for helping Krober better manage the territory.
In this way, under Krober's governance, the development of Black Feather Island slowly got on the right track.
