In two days, the trench outside the city was not only leveled again, but also paved with stones.
Several tenant farmers and soldiers were selecting stones of suitable size, leveling and filling the gaps in the roughly paved trench.
Looking at the flagstones, which were even flatter than Temple Square, Schliemann fell into deep thought.
"Who asked you to lay it?"
He wailed and questioned the tenant farmers and soldiers beside him, but the other party looked as if it was natural.
"There is no grass in this area. If it rains, it will turn into a water curtain hole. Can't we do it without paving something?"
Besides, this place is so close to Antler City and on a post road. If you step on it just by stepping on it, you will leave a hole in it. "
What the man said made sense, and Schliemann was unable to refute it.
"After all, they are hard-working people, and they really see life in their eyes!"
In the lobby on the first floor of the Princess Castle, Hank was surrounded by a group of people, and he was arranging the next work.
After a circle of arrangements, people dispersed, and he saw Schliemann with fire in his eyes.
"Oh? Are you back?"
Schlieman told Hank what he saw and guessed during this trip. Hank's bloodshot eyes stared at Schlieman, not knowing what he was thinking.
"I don't agree with the suggestion to dig trenches."
Not only Schliemann, but also Apton was very surprised by Hank's decision.
"Hey, I don't know what will happen in the future!"
Hank wiped his tired face and exhaled.
"I believe that the thing you mentioned exists, it may be buried underneath, or it may have been dug up.
If it has been dug away, then we have no way to retrieve it. We don't even know who the person is, let alone that it was two days ago, and the person has already gone to who knows where.
If it is still down there, our digging will actually help those who are trying to dig it out, not to mention that doing so will expand the scope of insiders and may even cause panic among the public. "
Schliemann narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "You're not going to do nothing, are you?"
"No... Do you think this will work? The width of the city gate is limited, and this place will become a trade center in the future, so I will build a pre-inspection station in that big pit, and I will send a small team to guard it in shifts.
Let's just treat it as it is below, and then our task is to keep an eye on it. This is destined to be a watch that a few people will remember for a lifetime, or even a watch that is passed down from generation to generation without knowing the reason. "
Schliemann's expression relaxed, and he nodded and looked at Hank with a gentle expression.
In his opinion, Hank's consciousness is enough to become a princess.
The four people with nothing to do took a walk around Antler City. They first went to the newly established Flying Ship Design and Construction Bureau in Connie.
The cabin was filled with the smell of cigarette smoke. Connie was holding a copy of the design drawing and explaining to a group of people the purpose of the design and the precautions for processing.
Schliemann's appearance was somewhat unnecessary, and Connie, who was already busy, had to take time to deal with the captain's arrival.
Schliemann himself noticed this, and he left quickly so that Connie could complete his technical transfer work as soon as possible.
Then they found Vivian who was purchasing supplies. She was accompanied by two crew members and had completed most of the purchasing work.
Schliemann checked the supplies one bag after another, frowning.
"Cheese? So much... What is this? Dried meat? Beef jerky?! Hey, hey, hey! I won't reimburse you!"
Vivian rolled her eyes and asked the two crew members to carry the bags onto the carriage.
"I will purchase all future supplies, and our master will pay for them."
Ampton scratched his head: "I'm going to give you a treat, brothers. The price is so cheap. If you don't buy it, you'll be at a loss..."
"I can understand where you're coming from, but what's going on with these two sheep? What does it eat when you bring it on board?"
Ampton looked at Vivian, who scratched her cheek.
"Oh, I didn't think about it that much..."
“Also, don’t buy fresh beans, as they will sprout and become moldy, and you won’t be able to eat them for a few days.
And this...you can't carry a whole barrel of wine on the ship like this, it has to be mixed with water, and the crew can't control their mouths at all! Who is driving the boat when he drinks like a drunk cat all day long?
Um? What's in this bucket? "
Schliemann looked into the dark barrel. After looking for a long time, he realized that there was a person inside.
"Ram! What are you doing here?"
"You promised my sister to take me away!"
Schliemann wiped his face and overturned the barrel angrily. Ram climbed out of the barrel and looked at Schlieman with a straight face.
"I didn't remember saying yes."
"You accepted the partner introduced to you by my sister, and you should fulfill the agreement after getting paid!"
Ram's temper was well known to Ampton. He found an empty bucket and sat down, ready to watch the fun.
"What if I don't take you away?"
"I'm going to complain to Hank. A person who doesn't fulfill his promise shouldn't be trusted by him! The cooperation between you will bury the hatchet and eventually break down!"
Schliemann's face turned red from holding back, and Ampton laughed out loud.
"Listen Ram, I've never been a gentleman, just go ahead and tell Hank, he will make a decision with an adult's way of thinking.
The cooperation between us is that he needs me more than I need him, so what you said will be completely forgotten by him! "
The threat failed, but Ram was undeterred.
"Oh? What if I tell King Hisoka about you and Hank's plan?"
"You can't even enter the palace."
“I can’t enter the palace, but I can enter the temple of Hector King City, and I can tell the Archbishop about the appearance of the monster.
When you come and the monster appears, I don’t need to say anything else, he will make the association on his own. "
Schliemann narrowed his eyes. He wished he could tie Ram up and put him in the castle dungeon.
Seeing that Schliemann was a little shaken, Ram jumped to the next step in his usual set of combos, but before he even opened his mouth to give Schlieman a step, the opponent's step was handed over first.
"Ram, do you want to be a captain?"
Of course Ram thought, what child wouldn't want to command a ship soaring in the wind, sailing towards a world he has never seen before.
"You haven't decided on the captain of your self-built flying ship yet, and I haven't taught you how to determine the course yet!"
Ram thought for a moment, then looked up into Schliemann's eyes.
"Can you guarantee that I will become the captain?"
"I can't, but I just want to pass on the knowledge of course determination to you. On your self-built ship, you will at least be a navigator.
You will build more flying ships and need more captains. You will definitely have your own ship! "
After Ram thought for a while, he stretched out his hand towards Schliemann.
"make a deal!"
The two shook hands and the deal was sealed.
Schliemann pulled his face and called Hilpeter.
"Silpeter, teach this brat how to determine course and distance."
"Okay Captain."
Ram felt that he had been fooled and quickly grabbed Schliemann's reins.
"Huh? Didn't you teach me?"
"Child, I am a captain, do I have to handle everything personally?
Hurry up and get on his horse, we have to get back to the flying ship! "
