Chapter 72 Shipbuilding Ideas
For Charlemagne, Corey's appearance was like being given a pillow when he fell asleep.
Recently, he has been thinking about the route to go out. Stratholme has already been there, and now he is waiting for further news from Bishop Faol and Liadrin.
The countries in the Eastern Continent can also learn about the latest situation from her because of Aurelia's travels.
Originally, Charlemagne planned to go to Sunsail Port to contact the Kul Tiras ships, asking if he could take him to the Kalimdor continent.
Now that Aurelia has brought back someone like Corey, the next choice is simpler and clearer.
"Mr. Corey, if you are asked to take a boat from Quel'Thalas to the Broken Isles now, can you find out the exact location of that island?"
Although he was very excited, Charlemagne managed to suppress his emotions and calmly made the final confirmation.
Corey smiled confidently, "Of course it's okay. I quit my job on the fleet and came to Quel'Thalas with her because I heard Miss Windrunner talk about the islands."
"However, I ask for a high salary for the piloting job this time. The price is 200 gold coins. If you agree to my old life, I will sell it to you."
200 gold coins are enough for ordinary people to live for many years, but for the wealthy Quel'Thalas, it is just the price of a low-end enchanted weapon.
Charlemagne spent 250 gold coins to buy the Titan Iron alone. According to Lor'themar's account, the follow-up Eternal Flame cost another 50 gold coins. In the end, the original price quoted by Lucius was still used...
"The price is fine, but I hope you can actually send us to the destination, if I know you are bragging..."
Charlemagne's tone was threatening. After all, human beings have a lot of fancy intestines, and the drunk guy in front of him always made him feel unreliable.
Cory didn’t care about this, he had to be defensive. If the other party didn’t even have this precaution, he would have to consider whether to go with him.
No one knows what kind of troubles will happen to this kind of foolish, money-rich dude, and he doesn't want to die as a guest.
During the ensuing exchange, Alleria has been gently listening while holding Charlemagne's hand, occasionally inserting a few words of her own opinion.
Charlemagne is basically sure from Corey's speech and behavior that this is an old captain with real materials.
His sailing experience is extremely rich, he is very familiar with all the major ports in the eastern continent, and even entered the Azshara region on the border of the night elves' jurisdiction by mistake because of getting lost.
A small number of night elves living in the local area rescued his merchant ship from the Naga and pointed him out to the goblin city Ratchet City.
Charlemagne was surprised when he heard about Ratchet City. He didn’t expect that this goblin city had been established so early. Sure enough, these green-skinned dwarves would do anything to make money...
Ratchet City belongs to a local tyrant named Gazlowe, and it is not the same way as the group of blackwater pirates in Booty Bay of Stranglethorn Vale.
This guy spotted the business opportunities in the Kalimdor continent very early on, and brought a group of men here to establish a trade transit city.
Although countries do not intend to vigorously open up Kalimdor, some fur minerals produced in the barren land that are not found in the eastern continent still attract some merchants to trade across the sea.
One time, on his way back from Ratchet City to the Eastern Continent, his merchant ship happened to encounter a strong storm on the vast sea. islands.
"Okay, Mr. Corey, please temporarily live in Taquilin while I hire the ship. Once the preparations are complete, I will notify you immediately."
Now that he has confirmed Corey's ability, Charlemagne has made a good decision to hire him, and he has some other ideas about this experienced old captain.
In the future, he may often travel to and from Northrend, the Broken Isles, Kalimdor, and the Eastern Continent. It would be too troublesome to hire a boat every time. If possible, he would like to build a special boat by himself.
But this is not a simple matter. Although Azeroth's ship is a sailing ship made of wood, the money to be consumed is obviously not a small amount.
And after the ship is built, it is necessary to recruit skilled sailors and various navigators. It is not as easy to feed a ship as imagined.
In terms of personnel, it may be possible to use Corey's contacts to recruit some, but the problem of the ship...I'm afraid there will be no way to solve it in a short time.
‘Take time to ask Sean to see how many gold coins are needed to build an ocean-going ship. '
Of course, the Dawnwalker family also has its own trading ships. After all, it takes a lot of money to maintain a large family. Sean also mentioned before that their family has several trade ships with Lordaeron and even the Kingdom of Khaz Modan. caravan.
But these issues can be considered later...
Cory went to Taquilin's tavern as the first stop after leaving. He couldn't wait to try the authentic elf wine.
Charlemagne hugged Alleria, whom he had not seen for a long time, and sent an affectionate kiss of thanks. Charlemagne gradually became intoxicated by the way the elf closed her eyes slightly and shook her long ears.
"Thank you Alleria, you really brought me a big surprise this time."
The blushing Aurelia gently shook her head, and gently caressed her lover's cheek.
"You're welcome, this is what I should do as your lover."
Charlemagne felt a little guilty about his affection for Alleria at this time.
Although he can assure that he has never done anything wrong to Alleria, but the matter of Cirvanas is still in his heart. What kind of reaction.
At this moment, Charlemagne sincerely thanks his mentor Li Reza for transferring Cirvanas to the Temple of the Sun to guard, otherwise...
With the return of Aurelia, Charlemagne's outing trip was put on the agenda. He hoped that the second lady could gradually cool down this wrong relationship during his time out.
After initially alleviating the pain of parting, Charlemagne and Alleria went to Li Reza's office hand in hand.
General Ranger was also a little surprised at the swift return of the eldest daughter, but after seeing the concentrated energy surging all over Alleria's body, she nodded in satisfaction and gave a rare compliment.
"As expected of my daughter!"
Then the couple kept their promises and asked the gossip rangers for additional training. Now Li Resa, who is in a good mood, readily agreed.
It didn't take long for the young couple to hear mournful cries outside.
