Chapter 181 As a conservative, I think you are too conservative as a radical

At the beginning, Lab was just a little whale.

After the Rumba Pirates asked Crocus to help them take care of Lab, the Rumba Pirates completely lost contact.

Even on the agreed date, he did not come back.

This care lasted for 24 years.

For Crocus, Lab was like his own child, and he watched him grow up with his own eyes.

Even though he had some understanding of the current situation of the Rumba Pirates, Crocus still chose to accompany him.

Oran made the first invitation when Crocus first landed on Firefly Island with Roger Pirates, although that time was not very formal.

The invitation was the second time when Roger Pirates disbanded.

This time, Oran was passing by, but Crocus himself did not know about this, so in Crocus's view, Oran was also full of sincerity.

Since Oran himself solved the problem of Lab, Crocus could not find a reason to refuse.

Although the pirates in the four seas are not a big deal for Crocus, it is easy for Crocus to deal with these small fish.

The Battle of Edwall and the three-day battle with the Whitebeard Pirates. Crocus was not absent in both battles, but too many ants can also make people feel annoyed.

Lab's race is an island whale, and now it has grown up. As long as it does not enter the doldrums or accidentally break into the place where the sea kings live, it is basically safe, which eventually made Crocus decide to move to work.

"Welcome, Dean Crocus."

"Wait. Dean?"

Crocus felt that something was wrong. How did he become the dean inexplicably? Wasn't the invitation just accepted by the doctor?

"Yes, Dean, isn't the dean of the hospital a doctor?"

The hospital on Firefly Island has always lacked top doctors other than Orlan. This thing not only depends on talent, but also requires time accumulation.

Now that a top famous doctor has been recruited, it is natural to entrust him with important tasks, which can also unload a lot of burdens on himself.

"Why do I feel like I've been cheated?"

"How is that possible? The dean's salary is several times that of an ordinary doctor."

"The workload is also several times that of an ordinary doctor, right?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, the dean's job is still very leisurely."

This kind of top doctor must deal with big problems. He won't be asked to deal with just a small cold. At most, he will take a few apprentices.

[Speaking of which, there seems to be a newly emerging doctor in Xihai recently. Maybe we can try to dig him over. ]

For the top doctors in this sea, they can try to treat any disease, but they also have their own focus projects.

Although they are both world-class, compared with surgery, Kulokas is more outstanding in internal medicine and conditioning.

And Xihai recently has a doctor who is famous for surgery-the genius surgeon Hogbak.

[I remember that he later became Moria's subordinate. It's fate.]

Hogbak's surgical skills are impeccable. He has miraculously saved many patients with surgery, but his medical ethics are lacking and he values ​​money more. But this is not a big problem for Orlan.

Compared to this ability, a bad character can be tolerated a little.

[But he has just made his mark, let's talk about it next time we go to the West Sea. ]

Olan goes to O'Hara's library to replenish books every once in a while and reproduces the newly collected books there, which can be regarded as a model of the monarch's offline system.

"Then Dean Kulokas, do you have anything else to bring? If not, we will set off."

After taking a navy warship for a while, Oran separated from Leliana and others, and Leliana took the others back to Firefly Island in advance. At this time, only Xiong was still with Oran.

"No, I'm alone, so I don't have any luggage. Since you can convince Lab, just leave.

By the way, you saw Roger, didn't you?"

"Yes, a man smiling on the execution platform."

"Laughing? That's true. Roger has already achieved his goal. Unfortunately, the era Roger opened is not a good one."

"It's just a matter of time. Even if Roger didn't exist, other leaders would appear sooner or later. This is a long-standing problem on the sea. Roger is at most the one who lit the fuse.

If the world is peaceful, where would so many pirates come from?"

Kurokas and Orlan finally talked about Roger. There are few people in the Twin Gorges. When they get to crowded places, it's not easy to talk about this topic.

At least at this stage, actively promoting topics related to Roger will only bring trouble.

"Bear! Let's go!"

At this time, Bear was holding some ointment to treat the wound on Lab's head. Looking at those hideous wounds, Bear felt that Lab was very pitiful.

"Don't do this again. Although I don't know what Brother Orlan said to you, Brother Orlan will not lie to you."

The bear has no ability to listen to the voices of all things, and is just talking to Lab.

A few days later, a huge island whale appeared in the waters near Firefly Island. The bear, Orlan and Kulokas sat on Lab's back.

The voyage was relatively smooth. Even if they encountered pirates who had just set out to sea, the bear could basically be fine with a pressure cannon.

Even if they encountered a storm, they could temporarily hide in Lab's mouth and avoid risks by diving into the deep sea.

The reason why Labu's group is called Island Whales is because of their exaggerated size.

The current Rab looks huge, but in fact it has not entered the maturity stage of the race. The truly adult island whale is a behemoth that is no different from the island.

"Dean Kurokas, this is your future residence, and this is where you work. As for Rab, I placed it at the other side of the estuary. If you want to see it, it only takes 20 minutes by train. Can make it.

These are your treatment issues. Do you have any other questions? "

"No, I can work at any time, just these equipments. Some of them I haven't seen before."

"It's easy, Alison. You can help Kurokas get familiar with some of these equipments. He will be your dean in the future."

"Don't worry, Tutor Sidilil, I will do these things well."

Alison is one of several interns that Olan brought in the hospital, and she can also be considered a newcomer he trained.

Although she is only a trainee, she is very familiar with the work of each department. Because she is a student of the King, no one will show off to her.

"My dear King, you are finally back."

Soon after, in the royal city, Brand breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Oran returning, and then handed over an application form.

“Your Majesty the King, the number of immigrants on the island has increased a lot during this period.

The executions a few days ago will definitely lead to a surge in pirates. I think the current manpower of the police force is not enough to face the future situation. We need more troops.

After six years of development, the island's economy has recovered a lot. I think it's time for us to expand our military. "

What Brand handed over was a report for applying for military expansion, and listed various expenses and other matters in detail.

This matter must be decided by Olan himself, and no one else can do it for him.

"Brand, this report of yours"

"Your Majesty Oran, this is a necessary expenditure. The security force also bears the responsibilities of the royal army. If it is not expanded,"

"What I want to say is that you are too conservative. Double it."

"ah?"

For a time, Brand had been called a radical by others in the country, but he never imagined that he would actually become a conservative here in Oran.

Expanding the army requires money, and no matter how stupid the king is, he knows that the guards have to pay themselves. There is no crazy man who is so crazy that even being a soldier requires extra taxes. At least Brand has never seen it.

Therefore, the previous king has always controlled the number of soldiers. This report is the result of Brand's careful consideration. After all, the current Piltover is different from the original Favre Kingdom.

Not to mention the mecha unit of the special service team, the equipment of the ordinary police officers of the garrison was enough to support a small group of the Royal Army.

In the past, the royal army only needed a set of armor and a spear.

The current police force, in addition to three sets of regular uniforms and one combat uniform, is also equipped with special combat helmets.

Night vision, anti-virus, thermal sensing, and many other functions are concentrated on it. The protection of vital parts may seem light, but it is enough to withstand the shooting of any light weapons. This is only equipment for urban patrols.

Coupled with many individual weapons and mobile vehicles, it is not an exaggeration to say that these people are gold-eating beasts.

"Um?"

"yes!"

In the end, there was only one thing Brand could say.

Develop people's livelihood, improve the country's scientific and technological level, pay attention to national defense, listen to other people's opinions, and have no hobbies for extravagance and lust.

In this sea, such a king is already an out-and-out virtuous king in Brand's eyes. It would be better if the other party was more stable.

The previous king had no interest in going to sea. Even if he went to sea, the most he would do was walk around the island.

The Grand Line is too dangerous. The sea of ​​hell, the devil's sea, these are how the outside world describes this place. If you go out to sea rashly, it is easy for the ship to be destroyed and people to die.

If something goes wrong in Oran one day, the future of this country will become bleak again.

But Brand didn't know that there was a person named Murphy outside the dimensional wall.

According to his words, the more people worry about a situation, the more likely they will encounter it.

After Olan agreed to the application for military expansion, Brand watched Olan answer a phone call.

[Your Majesty Oran, it’s me. I found a devil fruit in the Drum Kingdom. It may be the one you are looking for. 】

This was information from the people Oran had sent to the Drum Kingdom before. Brand didn't know the content of the call, but saw Oran get up and walk outside the palace after picking up the phone.

"Brand, I need to go out for something. If something happens, follow the same rules."

"Your Majesty Oran"

Brand could only watch the other party disappear here, and then sighed alone, thinking on the bright side, at least this time the two princesses did not leave.
