From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

After hearing Ji Heng's words, Swan became even more confused.

Looking at the jumping insects going away, he let out a long breath and collapsed to the ground.

The battle just now was very dangerous. He was very comfortable at the beginning, but when he used all his strength and could only knock a monster away and couldn't even kill it, he knew that he was in danger.

Just as he thought, he could only fight off the monsters that were besieging him with all his strength, and sometimes he was scratched by their sharp claws. When he was exhausted, he thought he was going to die, but he didn't expect the monsters to stop.

"Fortunately, I hid quickly, otherwise I don't know how many times I would have died."

Touching his wound that was still bleeding, Swan felt relieved.

......

After watching the battle in the distance come to an abrupt end, the village chief, with the help of everyone, slowly walked towards Swan's location.

A minute later, Swan looked at the familiar face in front of him in confusion, and said with a silly smile: "Everyone, I'm back."

Seeing the silly smile on his face, the village chief was furious and shouted, "Idiot, why don't you just come back? Why don't you just drive the boat to our village dock? Why park the boat in a place like this?"

All the villagers looked at Swan with smiles.

He scratched the back of his head with one hand, looking depressed, and said aggrievedly: "I originally wanted to give everyone a surprise, but who could have thought that this would happen."

"You..."

The village chief pointed at Swan speechlessly, not knowing what to say.

When his eyes touched Swan's wound that was still bleeding, he said distressedly: "Okay, we can talk later. Let's go back and treat the wound first."

"Lugo, Gore. You two come and help him."

After saying that, he led everyone back to the village.

"Wow~" Swan looked at the house that stood out in the whole village with a surprised look on his face. "The village has become rich."

Hearing this, the village chief was furious. He stabbed the ground heavily with his cane and said, "Get rich? What kind of wealth are you talking about?"

"This was built with funds from the Dutch royal family."

Lugo said proudly, "Now every village has one. It seems to be called a village office. It is where the village officials handle village affairs and where villagers hold meetings."

Gore continued, "Such a large building was completed in less than an hour. Isn't that amazing?"

Swan was confused and puzzled.

A moment later, a woman hurried over with a medical kit.

"what."

She screamed, then hurriedly took out the trauma medicine and bandages to treat Swan's wounds.

While cleaning the wound, she didn't forget to blame: "How did you do this? You got so many injuries."

Swan touched his head and smiled foolishly: "Aunt Kate, I'm fine, just some minor injuries."

As he said this, he showed off his arm muscles to indicate that he was very strong.

Aunt Kate patted his wound gently and said softly, "Okay, don't move."

"Hiss~, okay."

Swan took a deep breath and stopped moving, allowing Aunt Kate to do whatever she wanted.

But he was always talking and chatting with the villagers who were watching him.

Ten minutes later, Swan's upper body was covered in bandages.

"Aunt Kate, there's no need for this."

Swan complained, but when he saw Aunt Kate's unyielding look, he shut up tactfully.

Aunt Kate stood up, clapped her hands, and said, "The medicines used on you are provided by the Netherlands Group. They are very effective for external injuries. Your wounds should be almost healed by tomorrow."

Swan was very surprised and said, "Is this medicine really effective? It's almost as effective as the Navy's special medicine."

Lugo laughed twice and said proudly: "This is just the beginning. There will be more surprising things to happen in the future."

Gore also smiled and said, "Since Queen Litt took over the Kingdom of the Netherlands again, everyone's life has been getting better and better."

Hearing this, the surrounding villagers echoed: "Yes."

"Yes."

"Queen Lit is truly a good king who cares deeply about her country and her people."

"Always support Queen Litt."

Swan was even more surprised when he heard the heartfelt praise from the surrounding villagers.

You know, in the past, people didn’t have a good impression of the Dutch royal family.”

"Even when it's time to pay taxes, I would secretly curse to vent my anger."

"What's going on now? Has the world changed so much?"

Swan's conflicted expression did not escape the village chief's eyes.

The village chief explained in a calm tone, "Now every village and every household in the Kingdom of the Netherlands has been allocated its own land according to the population."

“And the children in the village can go to school for free.”

“If adults want to learn, they can also receive free instruction.”

"And now all kinds of exorbitant taxes have been abolished. You only need to pay a small amount of agricultural tax and personal income tax."

"..."

After the explanation, Swan was confused.

To put it simply, nine out of ten orifices are open, and one is blocked.

Looking at Swan's more confused eyes, the village chief said unhappily: "Well, you just need to know that the villagers can have enough food and warm clothes now."

"All in all, everyone is living a very happy life now."

Swan smirked, "Okay, I get it."

“As long as everyone is doing well, that’s all.”

Looking at this silly boy, the village chief felt very tired, but no matter what, he was the child he had raised, so even if he was silly, he had to bear with it.

The village chief asked in confusion: "By the way, why did you come back so early this time? Didn't you just finish your vacation last month?"

Thinking of this, Swan suddenly became very excited and said in a boastful tone: "Grandpa Village Chief, I am a high-ranking official in the navy."

"Huh~" The village chief and the surrounding villagers were very surprised.

Swan was talking to himself about how he defeated pirates, how he defeated his fellow navy officers, and how he challenged his superiors and won.

Swan now looks very much like a child showing off his good grades.

The village chief and the villagers had no doubt about his words. They all looked at him with gratified eyes, as if they were seeing their own cubs growing up.

But when I think of Swan fighting the enemy on the sea, I feel very distressed. "Alas! If possible, I really don't want Swan to join the navy."

In the past, the villagers faced three huge challenges: nobles, pirates, and heavenly gold, and their lives were very difficult.

Even so, he still often gave the food he saved to the lonely Swan to raise him.

Swan wanted to make life better for the villagers, so he took advantage of the navy's recruitment to join the navy, and most of the navy's salary was sent to the village.

The villagers like this kind of people who know how to be grateful.
