Chapter 40 Domination of Rome

On Rome's beach, a golden light flashed. After vowing not to sell elf slaves for the whole life, Gavin was signing a master-servant contract with Arcado.

"Great elves, the ancestors love the nature that gave birth to me. Please listen to a devout elf praying here. I will submit a contract to Rudolf Arcado in front of me. From this moment on, I will defend his glory with my life. I will use my blood to witness my loyalty to him, and I will end I will obey his life until I die."

The golden light also disappeared in Arcado's chest as the elf finished his vows. Arcado could feel the elf's loyal heart beating in his body. This feeling is indescribable and wonderful, which he has never experienced.

But Arcado knew that his scam had succeeded and he got the loyalty of a very useful elf, which was unswerving.

Let go of the ropes of several elves and let them stay behind Gavin. Arcado began to arrange the work on the island, because he now controls the island, and the villagers obeyed Gavin's orders from the moment he was defeated.

He asked about the situation on Gavinromai Island. He learned that in the deep-water area on the other side, there was a medium-sized dock, which was used to welcome the transport ship of the Holy Empire. There is now a large village on the island, two small villages, all managed by his people. His elf team had a total of 30 people. Patrol the coastline of the elf forest. As a result, they drove far away because of curiosity. Later, they were unlucky to encounter a storm and did not know much about sailing, so they drifted to the island. It was the villagers on the island who saved them because they knew martial arts and took over the island over time.

After understanding the overview of the island, Arcado began to assign tasks.

"Old Tom, you take Morgan and three sailors, and Hubert to pick two elves to help drive the black pearls to the dock, unload the steel and wheat there, and then you divide the wheat to these villagers at the dock." When he first came to the island, of course, he had to buy it for the locals. Arcado decided to share the wheat.

"McVlon, take a few people directly to the dock to see where it needs to be repaired, mark it, and recruit local villagers to repair it." Arcado thought for a moment and continued, "When the Black Pearl arrives at the dock, you tell Meadow to cook, and the crew will be hungry."

"Evan, you take two elves to the largest village. I want you to recruit 10 sailors with experience. I want to train a group of people and expand our team."

"Hubert, Gavin said that there is an iron ore on this island. You can investigate how much qualified iron ore can be produced. We will continue to mine it. After you finish reading it, go back to the dock to find the Black Pearl and eat on it. Don't be hungry. Tell your Master Quinte not to drink. In the afternoon, you and he will go to the blacksmith's shop in the village to see if it can be used directly. I want to build another iron boat here. Arcado said to Old Quint with a smile.

"Gavin, your people took some of my crew to various places to convey the attitude of the new owner of Rome Island and reassure everyone. We have no malice."

"Gavin, you and I will go to two other small villages to have a look. I want to see the basic situation here."

After explaining the task, Arcado breathed a sigh of relief and watched the crowd dispersed and gradually disappear. After a while, the Black Pearl began to move slowly and headed in the direction of the port. Arcado stood up, patted Gavin on the shoulder and said, "Let's go and turn around."

"Okay, as you wish, my master, please come with me." Gavin said respectfully, with a humble attitude.

I inspected three villages on Rome Island. There are about 3,000 villagers here, but there are only about 400 decent laborers. Most of the islanders make a living by fishing and hunting, and a few have their own arable land, but not much. The most lacking on the island are crops and medicines.

It was not until the afternoon that Arcado arrived at the dock, which was the largest village on Rome Island. In the blacksmith's shop in the village, Arcado found Quint and Hubert.

"There is almost no usable forging equipment here. The only blacksmith on the island has been passed down from generation to generation. His most proud work is a sickle with a thick finger." Quint said.

"We are going to build a dock next to the dock, and your new blacksmith's shop can be built on the side." Arcado looked not far away and said.

"That's great. It's very convenient." Quint said with a smile.

"The construction of the blacksmith's shop and dock is up to you. I can provide you with 100 gold coins, and you can go to the village to hire people." Arcado turned his head and looked at Gavin: "Let your people tell the villagers that our boat can bring back a lot of medicine and flour, as well as seeds and brand-new tools next time. If you want it, you can rely on gold coins to buy it." Gavin nodded and went out.

"That's no problem." Quint smiled and said, "Wait for your new dock."

Old Tom found Arcado and said with a sad face, "I can't believe that 40 tons of wheat were robbed in the morning. Are their ancestors robbers?"

"Hahaha, we made some corresponding supplies and then set sail. This time we went straight to the Antarctic province. I don't think we have been wanted there yet. We need to buy something with all the extra gold coins to develop our Romem Island. We want to build a country here." Arcado said with his eyes shining.

"I'll listen to you." Old Tom said firmly.

ai wen's recruitment was very smooth. As soon as he heard that there was a chance to return to Yavia, 10 strong sailors were filled in an instant. They were taken by several old crew members on black pearls to familiarize themselves with the ironclad ship.

The rest of the people are helping at the dock. Due to old disrepair, the dock is a little dilapidated, but more than 200 villagers volunteer to help repair it. It is estimated that the next time Black Pearl comes back, the dock will definitely be repaired.

Throw all the remaining steel on the ship on the dock, and the black pearls replenished fresh water and some meat food and embarked on a new journey. This time, they are going back to the Asian continent to buy goods in the Antarctic province and transport them back to Rome.

McVlon was left behind, and the elf team has been loyal to him under the order of Gavin. He and Meadow are responsible for Lomai's construction, where there are too many things that need to be developed, such as blacksmiths, houses, docks, docks, mines, and farmland. The newborn Luo Mai has nothing.

With old Tom, Gavin, and 4 elves as bodyguards, 6 newly recruited sailors, 4 old crew members, and Evan and others, Arcado sailed to the continent of Asia on the Black Pearl.

"Gavin, what do you think the Elf Forest can like on the human continent?" Arcado leaned on the deck and asked the bodyguard standing straight on the side.

"I think the paper, cloth and elf slaves in the human world may be the things that the elf clan wants to exchange most." Gavin thought for a moment and replied.

"Then, I'm going to sell these things." Arcado smiled and said, "It's not easy to do business with your hometown."
