Hotel on the mountain

"My dear son, it is a joy to receive your letter at the beginning of the new year. This proves that your life has gradually got on track and you have begun to have the energy to remember the years, months and days that you would forget when you are busy. .

I have forwarded the two New Year gifts you sent to other friends and they all like them very much. I have also secured some benefits for you, which have been included in your income.

As for the Weak Dragon Potion and Wild Dragon Potion you mentioned, I have sent people to contact the military, but there is some tension on the border now. Many fortresses have entered a state of combat readiness and cannot get a reply quickly. But I believe in the prospects of your two products, if they are as effective as you say they are.

In addition, all channels for ships to go to the Dark Sea through the strait have been opened, so there is no need to worry. On the contrary, your proposal to open a road to the North Welland District is really unrealistic.

The Middle Welland District is vast, and the major families divide their territories to rule. From the northernmost point of the Hebrew Empire to the southernmost point of the Middle Welland District, at least dozens of large and small families along the way will be wiped out. Opening up a road is equivalent to penetrating the Zhongdeland District, which is unrealistic.

But you have to create your own destiny, and you must find ways to get what you really want. You said there is no better time than now to open up a road. There is some truth in this statement——

The Dragon God Cult cultivated a potion that would turn normal people into dragon-shaped puppets who only knew how to fight. They used this potion to occupy Shuangdan Province and moved from behind the scenes to the stage. I don't know if their approach is stupid or smart, but they are obviously very confident in this, and Sander's army is currently incapable of regaining the lost ground, which is also confirmed from the side.

But for you, this is your opportunity.

Shuangdan Province is the westernmost and most extensive coastal territory in the Zhongdelan District. It represents the sea power of the Zhongdelan District. Now, the Dragon God Sect, which only has a dominant force of strange soldiers, has no way to establish a powerful force. Coastal defense and navy, other regions of the Great Chik Empire will not send ships to guard the territory of Shuangdan Province.

The sea route is your only way to the North Welland District. Your opponents are only the remaining ships in Shuangdan Province and the North Welland District's own navy.

I don't know what kind of road you want to open, whether it is an upright avenue or a petty theft trail, but I have pointed out the direction of the road to you, and you have to think about it yourself how to achieve it.

You have to understand that the more stuff you have, the more power you have. The greater the power, the greater the ambition. The greater the ambition, the greater the benefits. The greater the reward, the higher the risk. If you want to climb higher and higher on the mountain, you must understand the purpose and value of adventure, and you must have the vision and strength to create your own luck.

I hope that in the days to come, you can still remember the years that many people have forgotten like this year, then I will be very happy.

Love your father, Isele Rayariu. "

In early March 1802, this letter sent on psychic paper was gently folded and closed by Jetro. He put the letter back on his body, raised his head and looked at the busy shipyard in front of him. The shipyard was built on the northwest bank of the Xingdeng River. To be precise, this is not a shipyard, but a "modification factory".

Jetro stood on a watchtower, looking at the huge "psychic battleship" lying in the dock, feeling excited.

The psionic battleship is the largest ship among the Hebrew Empire's standard ships. This psionic battleship is a very old model. After several repairs, it can no longer bear the responsibility of combat. It was originally scheduled to be taken back to the old factory for disassembly, but was Jetro used the influence of the Raya family and bought it in the name of "building a hotel on the sea". All the combat weapons and core equipment on the ship were removed, leaving only the huge hull and scraps. It's no different - but Jetro, what he wants is this empty shell.

Large numbers of workers were taken away from the task of restoring the hotel and assigned priority to the command of Chief Engineer Charles Alexander Alva. A psychic battleship is essentially a large ship with a wooden structure. Even if it loses its weapons and core psychic equipment, it can sail again as long as it hangs its sails. What Charles has to do is to make the ship run faster. .

For Charles, a leading expert in the field of psionic devices, the Navy did him a favor by dismantling the ship's original psionic devices—it saved him the effort of dismantling the junk.

All the materials used for the modification had to be transported from the Old Continent. In order to make the modification of this big ship successful, Jetro basically emptied his family fortune.

Wearing glasses and gray hair, Charles walked over from the spiral staircase, looked side by side with Jetro at the busy scene on the river bank in the distance, and said: "It's not difficult, it should be over soon. You want it very much." It was tight, so I accelerated the construction period, but its core couldn't be manufactured in a short time. I could only use the core of the Qiqiu experimental ship, which I removed from the "No Return" ”

"It's already great, Charles." Jetro said with a smile on his lips, "I only want it to have a large load and it can run very fast."

Charles took off his glasses and wiped them, and continued: "As you requested, I also removed the mast on the deck. In this way, it can only be propelled by psychic energy. If it is used for ocean navigation, it will be very expensive. Big. In addition, Simba also built a large ‘shelf’ that can be installed immediately.”

"Well, keep going, thank you for your hard work."

"But, Jetro, what on earth are you going to do?" Charles put his glasses back on, "To modify a ship like this, if it weren't for the fact that I can only stay in the New World, I would definitely have to scold you. Then he walked away."

Jetro leaned on the railing of the observation deck, stretched his head out, and looked at the busy people in the modification factory and the surrounding green forest. The rushing river flowed under his eyes. Jetro said: "A very crazy person." Act. Charles, I want to give a gift to the people of Zhonglan."

"Will it lead to a war?" Charles' light blue eyes were hidden under his glasses, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Maybe, I need war too - I need chaos."

"Then the king must be very anxious." His voice sounded beside Jetro, and there was no sadness or joy in it.

Jetro clasped his hands together and let the wind blow through his golden hair: "I can't control that much, Charles. I don't care whether the king is happy or sad."

"Then there must be a reason why you have to do this." Charles spoke in a low voice as if he was speaking to himself.

"Yes." Jetro groaned, "In this world, I only have two purposes for doing things. The gift given to the people of Zhongsilan District will achieve one of my small goals."

Charles smiled and put his hands in his pockets, feeling comfortable: "Thank you for telling me so much."

Jetro shrugged and said with a smile: "I only know that if the person I entrust with things is confused, many things will not be done well. In short, you understand what I mean - that ship is very It may be a disposable item. If you do what I say, it will achieve its goal. Keep it secret for now, and I will tell you the answer when it sets off. "

"I can't wait." The vicissitudes of Charles's face, which had been imprisoned for decades, smiled a bit youthfully at this moment. "I feel honored to be able to participate in creating a big chaos."
