Pirates born to be kings

Knotts did not expect that one day he would talk to His Majesty the King in the castle of the Drum Kingdom. Nervousness filled his brain, making his words somewhat incoherent, "Your Majesty, you may not believe it. The real discovery of metal alloys The ones we used were two dolphins we kept in the dock. One was named Firm and the other was called Return. They were both named by Boss Shep. Even though he always looked fierce, he was actually kinder to us than anyone else. ..1kanshu"

"Shep? Dolphin?" Valpo was a little confused. Does the alloy require special people or animals to use it?

"Ahem, let's get to the point..." The middle-aged man behind Notz's face turned dark, and he ignored etiquette and whispered, "If you want to die, don't hold me back, tell the point!"

"Oh, oh." Knotts replied in a daze. His mind was still awake. He seemed to have misunderstood the key point and spoke louder. He simply shouted, "I mean, don't look at Boss Shep." He looks fierce, but he is actually kinder to us than anyone else!"

As Notts shouted, Valpo looked dumbfounded, and Jace's entire face turned black. Where did this weirdo come from? Is that the point?

"It's over..." The middle-aged man slapped himself in the face. This was not the first time he had seen Valpo. He had met their King when he was building the large diving raid sailboat Brickik. That kind of The cruel and unkind way of doing things is still unforgettable to him. His Majesty will definitely be angry. Not to mention the bounty and project funds, Notts and himself will be finished.

"Okay, let's put it another way, your name is Notz... Notts, right? Let's take a rest first." Valpo's behavior was beyond the expectations of the middle-aged man. He actually let Notts go in an understatement, and turned to She looked at him, smiled and said, "What about you, can you tell me something?"

"Okay, okay! Your Majesty!" The middle-aged man was much more alert than Nuozi. Now was not the time to think about the past. He bowed respectfully and said, "I am the director of the shipyard, Xie Pu. It is my honor to report to you. This matter."

Following Shep's narration, Valpo quickly understood the whole story of the incident, as well as the special features of the metal ingot he extracted from the Drum Island Mountain, and also why Jace attached so much importance to this matter.

A metal alloy that can only be felt by touch in the sea. It is as if it is integrated with the ocean!

It is no exaggeration to say that with this metal ingot, the Drum Kingdom will have the ability to conquer the world!

The navy, pirates, windless belts, and sea kings, none of these will be able to hinder his progress, just like the sea water cannot be hindered!

Although there are many other data that need further testing, such as the effective stealth depth of this alloy, the maximum water pressure it can resist, whether it can be attached to the surface of other materials, and whether it will lose its stealth effect after attachment. When the alloy is further increased, Large, will the invisibility effect be weakened or strengthened.

And most importantly, do all synthesized metal alloys have the ability to be invisible in the sea? Apart from this ability, are there other more special functions?

There is so much more to know, but none of it overshadows the importance of this alloy!

Also because of the importance of alloys, a higher level of confidentiality is also required.

Jace is unparalleled in terms of co-production with Valpo. In other words, this staff officer will always consider all aspects of a matter. Valpo is still worried about the confidentiality of alloys. He has already spoken out. , "Your Majesty, don't worry, all the alloys have been recovered and kept properly, and the only people who know about this are the four people in the room now."

Valpo nodded appreciatively, "Very good." He then said to Shep and Notts, "You are also very good. Tell me, do you want any reward?"

The main event was coming, and Notts was excited. Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Boss Shep and glared at him fiercely. Then he saw Boss Shep step forward with a humble face, "No, no need, all this belongs to His Majesty." Thanks for the credit, we have only played a trivial use, and please Your Majesty not to blame Notz, he is young and ignorant."

North was stunned. What did Boss Shep say? He didn't do anything, and His Majesty didn't blame him.

Valpo was also stunned, looking at Jace dumbfounded, and asked, "Am I that terrible, so indifferent to right from wrong?"

Jess's answer was as appropriate as ever, "Your Majesty, that's because your majesty is so extraordinary. Ordinary citizens would feel offended just by looking at you. It's already great that Director Xiep has the courage to speak."

Valpo smiled and tapped Jace with his hand, "You..."

He looked at Shep and knew that this man must have been affected by the evil deeds of Valpo in his past. However, there was really no solution to this matter. Only subtly eliminating the influence was the best way. He didn't say much at the moment, "It's okay. I won’t blame you, just tell me what reward you want.”

Has His Majesty the King really changed his gender? Want to be a king and revitalize the drum kingdom? Xiep was confused and didn't dare to stop talking. He bowed and said, "Lord Jace said that the first person to discover the special properties of the alloy can get a reward of 300 million beli. In addition..." He looked at Valpo carefully and saw The other party just looked at him with a smile, a little bolder, "In addition, the department can also receive funding for the next quarter."

Shep has already thought that as long as these two points are fulfilled, the reward will be left to Notts, and the remaining Bailey will be used to pay back wages. It would be best if there is any left, so that the shipyard can survive for a while longer.

He carefully observed His Majesty the King, fearing that something might change. Sure enough, His Majesty frowned, "That's all?"

Do you still want too much...

Shep swallowed, "That's it..." He suddenly felt that it was okay not to give up Notts' 300 million Baileys. Although he felt a little sorry for the boy, it was good to keep the shipyard, and everyone would thank him. of.

Valpo naturally didn't think so. He pondered for a while and thought that maybe he could use this opportunity to provide part of the funds to the shipyard as support, just like it did with medical technology at the beginning, as a long-term national policy. He said, "Jace."

"Your Majesty is here." Jace's voice was trembling. He vaguely knew what His Majesty wanted to do, and that was exactly what he expected.

"How many Baileys does the shipyard need every year now? How many will it need if the technology continues to be upgraded?" Valbot paused, "Maybe there are different opinions, but I think you should know what it means."

"Of course, Your Majesty." Jess clenched his fists and tried to keep his voice steady, "The large diving raid sailboat, the Brickik, was built last year. The role of the shipyard has been completed. It only needs to be responsible for the Brickik. Therefore, no funds have been released to the shipyard this year. If His Majesty wants to reopen it, based on the average value of the past 10 years, nearly 5 million Baileys will be needed to carry out technical research and upgrades, and even more. The specific number will not be determined until the shipyard submits a plan report.”

5 million beli... Valpo felt a little bit sick. This was just the money to support workers, not counting technological upgrades, but this money couldn't be saved.

"No need to go to so much trouble." He waved his hand, looking like a rich and willful rich man, "You can pay all the expenses. In addition, we plan a special fund every year to research special alloys."

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty." Jace bowed deeply, "Thank you."

Valpo thought of another thing. The alloy had not yet been named. He said, "Sea Shadow."

"What?" Jace asked.

"The name of the alloy is Haiying, which means the shadow of the sea. It is an inseparable and elusive part of the sea."

……

Notts walked out of the castle with excitement on his face. The snow outside could not dissipate his enthusiasm. He muttered to himself what he could buy with these 300 million beli. After a long time, he realized that Boss Shep had been silent. He said, "Boss, what's the matter? Are you still thinking about how to use so many Baileys? That's right, I only have 300 million Baileys and I don't know how to use them, but the boss has to think about how to spend at least 5 million Baileys. Really It's so exciting. Also, His Majesty the King is so approachable. Fortunately, I thought you were brave, but in the end you almost didn't even accept the original reward. I will definitely tell everyone about this when I get back, so that he... Oops! Boss , why did you hit me?"

"Shut up!" Shep raised his hand, making Notts shrink back in fear, "Approachable?"

Xiep looked at the Drum Castle. The castle was still the same as before, but the owner inside had almost completely changed except for his appearance. However, this was a good thing, wasn't it? He looked thoughtfully at the man who was still rubbing his head. Knotts said, "You... are so lucky, you caught up with the good times." The old man paused and said, "Lucky guy."

……

At the same time, Cromalimon, the business officer who was sent to search the rebel Trede's house, looked at a phone bug handed to him by his subordinates with a gloomy expression. The phone bug was dead, and its snail shell was directly penetrated. , a piece of paper was rolled up in it.

Chromamon opened the note, and there was a sentence written on it in black ink:

Those who do not give freedom to others should not be free themselves.

"Are you a little late?" Chromamon didn't pay attention to the above words. He touched his head wrapped in a rice dumpling and smiled coldly. "One day, I will catch you. One day."
