Chapter 255: Red Dragon Maharaja
Allen arrived a bit early, the daughter of the Governor of Port Royal was underage, and Captain Jack still had no shadow.
Idle and bored, Allen opened a plantation on the hillside with some sugarcane, tobacco, and grapes. The mice in the port were a little eager to learn that a rich man had arrived.
In their opinion, this man was rich, single, and lacking strength. He lived alone on the hillside. He was a big fat sheep. After confirming that Allen had only one person, some mice finally couldn't help it, and sneaked up to the manor in the dark. , And then went over the wall to enter, but they never knew what was in the grass next to them.
One by one thorn vine piranha killed these little mice and ate them, and the clusters grew extremely luxuriant. The silent port has fewer rats. No one found out where they had gone, and being eaten by piranhas would leave no trace.
Those greedy mice came to the outside of Allen's manor in groups, wanting to gain wealth, but in the end they added nutrients to enchanted plants such as piranhas.
Finally, after hundreds of people were missing, the mice in the port finally found out that something was wrong. A large number of gang gray people disappeared, and Allen was still alive and well. From then on, the manor became a taboo in Port Royal.
After the manor was built, Alan hired a group of people, housekeepers, maids, and some guards. After all, there are still many things that need to be handled by others. The plantation also bought some black slaves for planting, and the income obtained was used to maintain the operation of the manor.
"Master, interrupt your meal!"
Stewart, the butler, salutes with impeccable etiquette. This butler is a British butler hired by Allen. In his previous life, the British butler was well-known in the world. I will definitely give it a try this time.
"It's okay, Stewart." Allen put down his chopsticks and said, "What's the matter?"
"Master, you ordered to buy wood to build ships and are ready." Stewart continued: "But I didn't buy the wood you requested for building ships."
"What kind of wood did you find?" Allen took up the white napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth.
"Sorry sir, I only bought some cedar and pine. As for the better teak, nanmu, and oak, they are all controlled by the government. They are shipped back to China to build warships, and there are very few in private hands."
"And most importantly, only the Royal Navy has some reserves in Port Royal."
Allen listened quietly, tapping his fingers on the table regularly.
"Have you found the shipyard?"
"Master, the shipyard has been arranged. As long as the wood is ready, construction can begin soon." Stewart said respectfully.
"Then use cedar and pine wood to make it. I need to make a double-deck fast sailing ship!" Allen decided directly.
"Follow your will." Stewart saluted respectfully and left. He will supervise the construction of the ship. As a professional steward, these matters must be handled perfectly.
For this ship, Allen is going to bless it with spells. Although the best wood is not used, after the hardening is performed, the hardness of the wood can reach the strength of steel.
A ship needs many sailors to operate. Allen is not planning to recruit sailors. He intends to transform this ship into an alchemy life that can sail on its own.
It takes three to six months to build a qualified armed merchant ship. Allen gave sufficient funds, so the merchant ship was built very quickly, and a brand new armed merchant ship appeared in the dock three months later.
"Dear Ellen, the ship you have entrusted us to build has been completed. You see this is your ship, and you can drive it away at any time. If you need a sailor, you can recruit it for a small amount of money. Enough sailors, or you can entrust it to us, and I will be happy to serve you." A fat man with a short stature and a nice smile introduced Allen to the ship in front of him.
After turning around the boat, Allen nodded: "It's not bad, I'm very satisfied."
"You are satisfied!" The owner of the shipyard was delighted when he saw that Allen was satisfied. The ship made him a fortune, and he was pleased with Alan, the gold master.
"Don't be busy driving away. I need to rent this dock for a while. The merchant ship needs to install weapons and some parts need to be modified. I will pay you to rent it here." Allen said while standing in front of the merchant ship.
"I'm happy to help you. If you have any ideas, we can remodel it for you." The shipyard owner smiled at it and quickly agreed.
"Hehe, you don't need to remodel this time. You only need to close this dock for a month without my permission. No one is allowed to enter." Allen waved his hand and said.
"In this way, I will immediately arrange for someone to close this place, and no one will enter without your permission." The shipyard owner heard Alan's request and seemed to have thought of something, and quickly agreed.
As the owner of a shipyard, he knows that many armed merchant ships will carry out some transformations in their cabins, hiding a mezzanine inside to smuggle some contraband. Naturally, the less people know about this kind of transformation, the better. The owner of the shipyard, who had made up his own mind, had an expression that I understood, and he slapped his chest and vowed to keep it secret.
Alan looked at the shipyard owner who seemed to know something with some doubts. After seeing his promise, he stopped talking. Soon these people left the dock.
Allen came to the dock by himself and started the renovation work. First, all the ship boards needed to be reinforced. He had a lot of experience in hardening the obsidian ground before. The hardening of the ship boards was just a small project cost. In one day, Allen blessed the planks of the entire hull with a hardening technique.
At this time, the hardness of the entire merchant ship was no worse than the hardness of the steel warship. Next, you need to install a power system. This is easy to handle. The power required by the ship to sail in the water is much smaller than that of the floating tower. A rune array can be done. A power room is divided in the cabin. Several magic crystals are inlaid in the middle of the array, they are the place to store energy.
The rune array can gather the free energy particles around and store them in the energy crystal, which then transmits the energy to the bottom of the cabin, where it is the propulsion device of the ship.
Ships also have sails, and Allen has enchanted both the sails and cables. Taking out the low-level soul spar of chance, Allen created a simple soul for this ship.
-"Soul Endowment!"
-"Activate life!"
With the release of aura one after another, a cold breath enveloped, a large amount of negative energy gathered, and a lot of mist appeared around, covering the entire merchant ship. After a while, the mist dissipated and the merchant ship reappeared without any change, but in Ai In Lun's perception, a newborn soul appeared.
