Hotel on the mountain

"Obsward. Loyalty is our primary consideration in selecting our subordinates. I know that your current behavior is only out of awe or fear." Jetro sat back on the high-backed chair again.

Obsward hurriedly responded: "Sir, I am completely loyal to you now. You can trust me. I will do whatever you ask me to do..."

Jetro gently raised his right palm to signal him to stop speaking. Then he said: "Don't talk nonsense. Otherwise, I will ask you to break a leg to prove your loyalty. In short, I will give you some support and help, and then, I want you to complete something that you may have to pay. Things in life are just like investing. If you throw a sum of money at you and let you go, it’s up to you how far you can go and whether you can get more wealth, status and help.”

"Please trust me, sir! Obsward will do his best!" When Obsward tried to show a serious expression, he did look serious, which slightly concealed the appearance of his weird hairstyle. Bring on the funny.

Jetro smiled and they talked inside the room for a while. After a while, Thorad came to Central Suite No. 3 at Jetro's request. After Jetro introduced the two to each other, he formally said:

"Thorad, Obsward will go to the Great Chik Empire with you. He will definitely be able to provide some help to your career."

Thorad was silent for a while, his cold eyes shot at Jetro through the gap in his helmet, and he said coldly: "Are you going to send someone who murders your companions with me?"

"No, no, no, Lord Thorad, I am innocent, everything is a misunderstanding! And now, it is just because my hometown happens to be in the city of Senbai, Lord Jetro thinks that you need a place to stay, I believe I can definitely help you! Please, give me a chance to prove myself." Obsward's eyes were so pitiful and helpless, and he sounded sincere.

"Do you know what I'm going to do?" Thorad's voice was cold and ruthless. He approached Obsward and repeated to him, "Do you really know what I'm going to do?!"

"No, no. I don't know anything. Master Jetro just said that you have a dangerous mission - when doing things, you can never have too many friends." Obsward was smaller in stature and faced Thorad's approach made him step back.

"Okay, don't blame me for not stopping you then - maybe you will just become a death row prisoner here, but if you follow me, you may become a dead man."

"I believe that you will definitely need me, Lord Thorad. And I swear, I will never hinder your mission, Lord." Obsward smiled warmly and made a swearing gesture with his palms, "I will Like a street girl - she comes when called and goes away when called, leaving only a trace of warmth in your arms without taking away any responsibility."

After saying that, he tried his best to put on a kind smile, while Jetro stood aside and watched this scene, poured two glasses of wine and handed them to Obsward and Thorad. The former drank it all in one gulp, and the latter drank it. Then he handed the wine back to Jetro and quickly left the room. Jetro didn't say anything, smiled and drank all the wine - he knew that Thorard was a little angry because he sent a "villain" to follow him without his consent, but Jetro felt that a A villain is sometimes better suited to survive in the shadow of the enemy than a down-and-out noble.

…

Time gradually moved forward with the alternation of day and night. While waiting for August, Yetro merged the fragment taken from Thorad onto the Raya family's heirloom "Pillar of Raya". This fragment was indeed a A very magical metal or other substance - when they met, a blue light stretched out from a hollow part of the Pillar of Raya and connected with the hollow part on the fragment - just like a galaxy, Laya The Pillar of Ya began to rotate as a star, and the "Chiyo Fragment" began to rotate and revolve.

After Mengzhi's analysis, this new combination added a new function to the portal - overclocking.

The Chiyo Shard is affected by the Pillar of Raya, and it will begin to accumulate spiritual energy on its own. When its spiritual energy accumulates to a certain level, it can be fed back to the Pillar of Raya, causing the Pillar of Raya to have a temporary amplification effect - that is to say , after a certain period of time, Yetro's consciousness communication can connect to the whole world, not just limited to the vicinity of the mountain hotel - but this time is particularly short, and cannot send a large amount of information. Perhaps future overclocking times will increase as fragmentation increases.

What really makes Jetro feel interesting is that the Raya Pillar becomes more beautiful with the addition of fragments. The chandelier becomes brighter and brighter, taking on the responsibilities that a chandelier should have.

Of course, for Thorard, he explained the behavior of hanging the chandelier as "This is to show that I have no intention of coveting your family's ancestral things. The things are here, everyone can see them, everyone is the supervisor, don't worry Already?"

Perhaps something happened to the fleet heading to the New World. When early August arrived, no ship arrived as scheduled, and Jetro did not panic - in the age of sail, ships could not be required to be punctual. But ships from the New World to the Old World had to leave. Thorard and Obsward will also sail back.

The Ceuta is preparing to leave port. They need to replenish food for nearly two months. Considering that most of the people it carries are called "guests", they must also ensure the living space and living standards of these people, so they must always have a large amount of food on board. Preservative tools to ensure the freshness of food, all of which are achieved through psychic energy.

Psychic energy is not expensive, and many people have it. However, local products that combine psychic energy with equipment to produce earth-tech products such as refrigerators, induction cookers, heaters, air conditioners, etc. are very expensive and rare.

Generally speaking, merchant ships are not equipped with these products - increasing cargo hold capacity and squeezing living space are the essence of merchant ships. The reason why many sailors died during the voyage is that they took their lives to fight against the test of nature on them - and the cost of replenishing sailors is obviously much more cost-effective than buying these products that improve survival and comfort rates.

But passenger ships are different. Improving the comfort of guests is the essence of passenger ships. For this reason, they must invest a lot of costs to make guests comfortable - this is not wrong. In return, they will charge guests high tickets, enough to pay back in a few years.

What makes Ceuta Captain Steven in No. 8 not understand is that Master Jetro does not charge tickets but also guarantees the comfort of guests. Is this because the cost of ocean voyages is too low? Well, as a spoiled young master of an aristocratic family, he may not have thought about how difficult it is to make money.

But Steven's thoughts about the young master of the noble family were broken in a few seconds. Because he saw a large number of people began to carry boxes of goods into the cabin, and the list of materials taken from Golandon showed that these boxes were full of valuable pearls!

"My God, so many, full of pearls?!" Steven's expression of disbelief froze on his face.

And Golandon also felt something in his heart, smiled and responded: "Yes, there are some species that have not been found in the Old World. So, Captain Steven, I have to order you as the deputy steward of the Dukedom - you have to use your life to transport this batch of goods, okay?"

"Of course, of course." Steven had some cold sweat running down his forehead. He felt that he had to move the captain's room to the cargo hold, and he had to sleep on the boxes - the things in these boxes were enough to buy his ancestors alive and kill them again.

"May God bless me. I hope Master Jetro has not heard my dissatisfaction with him." After Golandon left, Steven hurriedly made a sign of the cross on his chest, pretending to be pious.

The sails were hoisted, and the ships left the port. Some wealth left the New World, while some people stayed on this land forever.
