Chapter 373 Current situation of Rapid Island

Rapids Island.

More than two months have passed since Karada led his men to move in here.

During this time, they took over the garrison of Knight Vali. Today, the port is guarded by Karada's men.

Through this period of management, the original members of the Larn Society and the White Flower Society have basically been put into production, and the overall order is slowly getting back on track.

On the hillside outside the port, Karada and his deputy Lusen looked at the two departing cargo ships, which were carrying the wood collected in the past two months.

According to Ronin's previous agreement, the two ships of cargo will be shipped to Screaming Island.

If nothing unexpected happens, they can bring back 700 gold coins.

Lusen frowned slightly: "Karada, it's been more than two months now, why hasn't Lord Ronin come yet? He won't forget us, right?"

To be honest, they left the bustling Golden Feather City and Oxhorn Bay and came to this barren island. They faced either a group of savages or a group of mentally retarded or physically disabled people all day long. Sometimes they were really exhausted physically and mentally.

In this case, if they were forgotten by the lord, then coming to Rapids Island with all their enthusiasm might be a bad choice.

In fact, it was not only Lu Sen, but many people who came with them had this guess.

After all, Rapids Island is located in a remote sea, and there is nothing special about it. And the noble lord loves to enjoy himself. Who would come here for no reason?

Karada frowned slightly, and he had some doubts in his heart, but he had fought with Ronin after all, and his intuition told him that the other party was not a person who did not keep his word.

"Don't worry, the lord and I have an agreement. If nothing unexpected happens, he will come here in the near future."

He took out the small map in his arms, "As far as I know, there is no port in Wubei Territory. If the lord wants to come here, he has to cross Wushan Territory diagonally and then start from Dennis Port. Not to mention the journey on the sea, even if you ride a Warcraft mount, it will take several days!"

Lu Sen looked at the map and felt a little relieved.

Now that the New Year has just passed, it will take at least ten days to rush here.

But just as the two were talking, a gust of wind whistled in, and great pressure came, making the two people's bodies cold.

At this moment, a hearty voice sounded from behind them: "Karada, Lusen, what are you looking at here?"

The two looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

At this time, there were only two ships from the Rapids Island docked at the dock, and there were no new ships. How could the lord's voice appear here?

They turned around and wanted to see what was going on, but the scene they saw almost made their heartbeats stop.

Lusen, who was a little timid and had not dealt with magic beasts much, was so scared that he took a step back and fell to the ground.

"Oh my God, what kind of monster is this!"

Sweat oozes from Karada's forehead. Just now, he was still wondering whether Ronin came here on a griffin, but he didn't expect it to be such a big and ferocious flying magic beast!

Although he has seen many magic beasts, the one in front of him does not belong to any kind.

"Dragon... Dragon?"

Karada, whose brain is out of order, suddenly thought of this word.

Huh~

Carlos exhaled a breath of hot air, as if to reward the other party for guessing correctly.

In the past, when he was in the cave, he was afraid of others.

Now the situation is reversed, almost everyone who sees him will show fear.

Not to mention, this feeling of being scared is quite enjoyable.

Ronin jumped down from the dragon head with ease.

He exposed Carlos not to show off, but for a purpose.

After all, the people of Rapids Island are not Ridar, nor McKen or Elrond, they are not bound by the contract.

Everyone has selfishness, especially when he doesn't come here often.

In order to prevent these people from having bad intentions, Ronin needs to show his powerful side.

Exposing his meteor-level strength is not as powerful as the shock brought by this unknown creature.

"My lord, is this a dragon?" Karada asked with courage.

"Yes, it's called 'Frostfire Wing Carlos'"

Ronin introduced with a smile: "But not many people know about its existence yet. I hope that only you two know about it on Rapids Island."

While speaking, Carlos had already cast the light bending and shadowing magic, slowly hiding its huge body.

Ronin only wanted Karada and Lusen, the two managers, to recognize it, and didn't want other people to see the dragon.

At this moment, his figure became tall and mysterious in the eyes of Karada and Lusen.

What kind of existence would a person who can control a dragon be?

They didn't know the answer, because no one had ever heard of anyone owning a dragon in reality.

In knight novels, such people are usually the protagonists and will become the masters of the continent.

"Let's go back to the port first."

Ronin suggested, "Life on Rapids Island is hard. You must be tired of eating seafood and potatoes every day, right? Haha, this time I brought you the best wine and bread, as well as beef and mutton. Notify everyone to attend the first banquet on Rapids Island in the evening!"

The atmosphere was eased by Ronin's laughter, and Karada and Lusen followed.

But they were confused, where were the wine and bread?

When Ronin took out a large amount of supplies in front of the two, it added a sense of mystery.

That night, a banquet was held lively with the sea breeze.

Ronin's arrival dispelled everyone's doubts. At the same time, when the plan to build a dock and expand the navy was discussed, everyone understood that the lord attached great importance to Rapid Island.

Late at night, Karada handed a stack of documents to Ronin.

"My lord, this is what you asked me to do, about the population census of Rapid Island."

Ronin took it and took a quick look.

Although there are no special talents here, the population has reached more than 27,500 people.

Today, the registered population in all his territories has reached more than 92,000 people, which is less than 8,000 away from the 100,000 people required for a prosperous population.

"Well done."

Ronin praised: "How is the training of the navy going?"

"There are currently 21 knights on Rapids Island. Excluding the eight or nine people who are responsible for daily management, the rest have training every day. In addition, we have also recruited a group of middle-aged men with strong bodies and good water skills on the island to serve as sailors and archers on board. The overall progress is not bad."

Speaking of this, Karada scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "It's a pity that we only have one warship. If we have another one, it should be more convenient."

"The temporary dock in Wubei Territory is being built. I have also found a shipbuilder, and shipbuilding will also be put on the agenda."

He thought for a while and said: "If necessary, I will buy a few more ships back."

Speaking of this, he took out the atlas: "When you have time, arrange for someone to search the island to see if you can find this plant. If you find it, mark it and pick it when I come next time."

The plant that Ronin was talking about was none other than the Monroe flower used to make auxiliary enhancement potions.

According to Miroslav's introduction, Monroe flowers are produced on islands. There are still large areas on Rapids Island that humans have not touched, and the climate here is also suitable for the growth of Monroe flowers. If they are discovered, it will save Ronin a lot of money.

Karada kept the drawings, "My lord, there is one more thing I need to report to you."

He paused and continued, "Laen was the leader of the Laen Society before. Because he has many acquaintances on the island, he thinks he has seniority and does not cooperate with some arrangements."

Ronin frowned. Laen did not show any abnormality at the banquet just now. He was very humble when he surrendered. Could it be that he pretended in front of him?

Karada should not make up lies for this kind of thing.

"You are the governor of Rapids Island. You can handle this matter."

Since Ronin has delegated power, he will be exhausted if he asks about some things in person.

He paused and added, "Of course, cooperation is best."

"I understand."

Karada nodded, "I will try my best to persuade him and divide his influence in the Larn Society."

He was most worried that Ronin would not allow him to punish the knights on the island, and some things would be inconvenient to do.

But now that he is sure that he can make a judgment, this can better establish his prestige as the governor.

Witnessing the existence of the dragon today has convinced Karada of the correctness of following Ronin.

Maybe in the future this young lord can really become a figure who stirs up the continent.

In this case, he must perform well and show his abilities in all aspects.

In this way, he can go further. (End of this chapter)
