Heaven’s Intention

It was just past noon. Everything is exposed to the scorching sun.

Five old carriages appeared on the road outside Yuanfan Town.

After climbing to the top of the hill, Yuanfan Town could be seen from a distance, and several carriages stopped.

Shakat got out of the carriage, stood on the hill, and looked up.

To the southeast is a beach, full of white sand, and a city wall divides three piers on the left and right. The piers are very wide enough to dock a thousand-ton ship.

It can be seen that there are several ships parked at the east pier, and after careful identification, there are seven ships.

On the pier in the middle, there are a few ships parked, which are obviously merchant ships.

On the pier in the south, more than a dozen ships docked, which are said to be the Royal Fourth Fleet brought by Earl Xiushenya.

Captain, the place here is not bad! A middle-aged man came up and looked down. A joyful expression appeared on his face: I heard that your territory is here?

There, Hasse! Shakat took a deep breath, pointing to a field that had been reclaimed outside the town wall.

I see, it's in the fence, it's a big piece, ah, there's wheat in it! Another three middle-aged people came up and looked at the land, with joyful smiles on their faces.

Eika, Flynn, Watano! Shakat muttered silently in his heart, with deep guilt emerging in his heart.

Fifteen years ago, they were all capable young men. Now, they are all middle-aged, and some of them have white spots between their hair.

At the beginning, I followed myself and got nothing.

Fifteen years of wastage, how difficult it was, but as soon as I summoned them, they immediately followed.

This time, no matter what, we can't let them down.

Shakat clenched his fist violently, his nails piercing into the flesh.

Back then, he was young and impulsive, and retreated as soon as he clapped his hands. As a result, a large number of buddies followed him, and there was no way out. Death, sickness, going away, whenever he thinks of these, the middle-aged him will feel that indescribable guilt.

Let's go, let's deliver the territory first, and then go to the fleet! Shakat stopped thinking and said with a wave of his hand.

Everyone got into the carriage, waved the whip, and the carriage went down.

At the checkpoint, soldiers came to intercept and check.

I am Shakat, and I am here under the order of the lord. Shakat showed the letter of appointment.

Ah, you are Lord Shakat? I will invite you in right away. Lord Sukar is waiting for you in the port administration hall. A soldier captain immediately said with a smile after checking.

Obviously, the territory has been notified long ago.

This attitude made Shakat's heart more stable, and he smiled a little reservedly.

The port is still under construction, and the workers are busy. But obviously, since it was time to harvest the wheat, there were not many workers.

But the main avenue has basically been cleared, and the square has been built. Now there are no sculptures or fountains on the square, but around the square, the government affairs hall and the port barracks have been built.

Out of habit, Shakat first looked at the port barracks. This barracks is already building walls, but there are still a few places that have not been built, so it can be seen that there are many soldiers wearing uniform uniforms entering and leaving.

At the gate of the government affairs hall, a group of soldiers were guarding. After a little negotiation, Shakat walked in.

The main building of the Government Affairs Office is a three-story wooden building. As soon as Shakat entered the gate, he was greeted by a person: You are Shakat? Welcome!

You are Knight Sukar? It's an honor to meet you! Shakat saluted quickly.

Sukar is a knight and mayor, above him.

It has to be said that Sukar was granted the title of a knight and had his own land, but he also received a salary for accepting the position of mayor.

No need to be too polite, Mr. Shakat, you are here to hand over the territory, please come in. I'm all ready, just wait for your appointment document to arrive.

Oh, thank you very much! Shakat said, and the straightforwardness of the other party immediately made him very fond of it.

Once inside, there is the office, where several hired personnel are already working.

Shakat knew that many of them were the children of the poor nobles in this catastrophe. They had studied and knew how to calculate. It was not difficult to find a job.

The only thing that surprised him was that on the left side of the hall, there was a room with the God of Order's mark on the door, and the opposite room was the Goddess of Commerce's mark.

There is a lot of business in and out of the port, and a lot of business needs to be notarized by the great goddess of commerce and the god of order. Therefore, in order to work smoothly, we invited two priests to work in the government affairs hall. Seeing his expression, Sukar knew this. , explained.

Oh, this way of working is indeed much more convenient. You are really a man who is knowledgeable and proficient in political affairs. Shakat said flatteringly.

Oh, this is the lord's idea. I'm just implementing it, but in reality, it is indeed much more convenient. Sukar said, and entered the middle desk.

Shakat handed over the two documents.

Since he had already been notified, Sukar just took a look and began to implement the procedure.

At this time, several staff immediately stepped forward, opened the two documents and took them out under the watchful eyes of everyone, carefully and meticulously appraised them, and the appraisal was completed. Just take out three documents and add exactly the same words.

Ask Shakat for all his personal details and add them too.

Time passed little by little, and finally all the things to be recorded were recorded, and it was confirmed that there were no mistakes. The staff signed their names and handed them over to Sukar.

Su Kaal read it carefully, signed his name on it, and stamped a mayor's seal on it, all three copies were the same.

It's almost done. You can hold it yourself and give it to the priest of the God of Order. Sukar said.

Shakat didn't dare to neglect, and took it in himself.

The room inside is very spacious and has a fireplace. Of course, it is not needed at this time. There is a large office and bookshelves.

Opposite is a priest, and behind the priest is the emblem of the god of order.

Although Shakat is not a follower of the God of Order, he saluted the God's badge first.

The pastor was stern and said nothing, but his eyes were obviously softer.

Priest, I'm here to ask for the testimony of the great God of Order. Shakat broke the silence and saluted the priest again.

This is my duty, sir, please show the documents to be notarized! The pastor replied.

After handing in the document, the pastor prayed in a low voice and began to read the document.

Whatever the pastor reads at this time is equivalent to God's reading, so the notarization has the authority that ordinary people cannot question.

The two of them were silent for a while, and the office became extremely quiet.

After a while, the priest finished reading and broke the silence: The procedures are all complete. But I want to ask you, Shakat, if you accept the appointment and territory of Baron Tetasio, are you willing to accept his authority and order? sincere answer.

Yes I do.

God is witnessing, as you said. The pastor said dryly, and he began to sign. Most people can't see a trace of holy power, and it is condensed in the handwriting.

I would like to contribute twenty gold coins to God. This was a lot of money, but Shakat gritted his teeth and came out.

Well, may God bless you. The pastor said, and handed over the completed document to Shakat. From this moment, legally, Shakat officially took office and became Romon's entourage.

After thanking him, Shakat took back the paperwork, and after bowing, he stepped forward and opened the door to go out.

When he got outside, Sukar was still working, but he also said with a smile: Congratulations, the 450 acres outside the town will be handed over to you. It's just the 450 acres of land, and there is still wheat, which now belongs to you. Do you need me to send someone to help you harvest?

Lord mayor, no, I still have a group of people who can finish it. Shakat said, the 450 mu of wheat is undoubtedly a large amount of food, which can solve a big problem. He couldn't help but thank Romon thoughtful.

Well... that's fine, I'll send someone to formally give you this piece of land, one week to complete the arrangement of your home, is it enough? Sukar asked.

Just three days is enough, Lord Mayor! Shakat said: In three days, I will go to the Navy.

Very good! Sukar stopped talking and watched him leave.

A staff member took Shakat out and handed over the territory. When he arrived at the land, a large golden wheat field and the small building in the wheat field suddenly reflected in his visual nerves. For a moment, he couldn't help but blush. The feeling in the eyes... After a long time, he let out a deep breath, and he knew that he was home.

As long as there is this territory, even if he is killed, the family can continue.

This is also the intention of the lord, to get rid of worries.

Lord Shakat, this is your territory. Together with this small building, of course, it is not safe now. You can harvest it and live in the town. Also, your subordinates, it is best for them to be here tomorrow. Register. This was a kind reminder, Shakat woke up, he nodded his thanks, and took out a gold coin, which made the employee smile even more.

When the clerk left, Shakat immediately shouted: Hase, Aika, Flynn, Watano!

Yes, Captain! The four replied as they did back then, full of energy and without hesitation.

Each of you should first set aside twenty-five acres of land and build a wooden house for yourself. I heard that there are workers in the town who specialize in building wooden houses. Also, the ladies live in my small building first. Also, the former Old man, call everyone who can come, let them catch up tonight, we will harvest together, and then board the boat! Shakat shouted energetically: Each of you is at least the captain of one boat, this is If the lord allows it, do it well, we are the best!

Yes, Captain, we are always ready to board the ship! The four men answered, they were already middle-aged, and when they talked about getting on the ship, they unconsciously burst into tears in front of their wives and children.

It has been more than ten years, and I thought I wasted my life, but I never thought that there would be this opportunity.

In the dimness, the man in front of him seemed to turn back time and become a young man with a radiant appearance.

Back then, he was the one who worked so hard. With just a sailboat, he had the bold words to clear the sea area. Everyone was convinced by it, and he changed from one boat to eight boats.

At the most glorious moment, an order from a nobleman made him leave his post in anger and give up everything.

At this time, the tears were wiped away, the youth in front of me faded away, only a middle-aged man, but the hearts of the four settled down.

There is a lot of fortitude in Shakat's eyes, as well as a hint of domineering.

Shakat didn't speak any more, he clenched his fist tightly. Fifteen years of wasted time made him never let go easily.

Knowing not to give up, this is maturity, or persistence. (!)
