Chapter 07 Tobacco and Production Licensing
After not sleeping all night, Jiang Hai was a little tired. Seeing this, Du Wen immediately warmly invited the life-savior, a traveler from the East, and a friend of Master Lanpao, to visit his home.
"Jiang Hai, my friend. You don't look great. You'd better eat and drink, take a shower and sleep, and then go to see His Royal Highness. Would you like to come to my house?"
Jiang Hai's empty stomach almost couldn't stand the fragrance of fish soup and toast just now. When he heard about food and drink, he immediately agreed without hesitation.
Duwen is a viscount and has a good mansion in the city of Dorianros. Both the servants and the chefs have been professionally trained and have high quality.
The food is rich, including fresh fish just caught in Belfaras Bay, juicy deer chops, tender chicks, various seasonal fruits and vegetables, and beer from the Hobbit’s hometown of Charles.
"Huh!" Du Wen drank the sweet beer in one sip and said with a red face, "The wine brewed by these little hobbit guys is really good."
The Hobbits are a race that is optimistic and enjoys pleasure, and can eat six meals a day. It is said that the only function of Mayor Charles is to arrange banquets. This race that is obsessed with eating and drinking is a natural chef. While enjoying the food, Jiang Hai even wants to abduct a Hobbit chef from the mission world.
Unlike the otakus Jiang Hai who was not very physically strong, Du Wen, who had been fighting for a long time, was still energetic after staying up all night. He asked the servant to send a bucket of tobacco, grabbed it and rub it into the pipe, and sucked it happily.
"Friend, I don't have any gifts in my family that I can give you. I can only treat you with the tobacco I am most proud of. Accept them!"
Du Wen took a hard sip, and the mellow smoke roamed around his mouth, and then spurted out from his nose: "Damn the Hobbit, I actually invented a wonderful thing like tobacco, I love them so much!"
Du Wen was straightforward and actually gave tobacco as a gift to others. Jiang Hai naturally accepted it with a smile.
"Old Toby brand tobacco."
“Rarity: Excellent (green).”
“Category: Hobby.”
“Value: 260 Survival Points.”
"Explanation: The best pipe grass produced from Charles. Take a sip and you will be happy like a god. This is the treasure that countless smokers have dreamed of."
Jiang Hai didn't expect that this mere barrel of tobacco would be worth 260 survival points. It seems that if he had not saved Du Wen's life, compiled a very awesome identity, and had the bonus of charm and eloquence, he might not have received this reward.
After breakfast, Du Wen wanted to meet Prince Inlahir and report on the war last night, so he left first. After taking a shower, Jiang Hai went to the room to sleep.
When he woke up, his physical condition reached his best. Jiang Hai changed into the clothes prepared by his servants for him, which were in line with this era, and then came to the restaurant and found that Du Wen had returned.
While having lunch, the two talked about topics such as customs and customs. After the meal, Du Wen took Jiang Hai away from the mansion and walked for more than ten minutes to Prince Inlahir's palace.
As the center of the south of the Kingdom of Gondor, second only to the large city of Minas Tiris in the White City, the palace of its ruler Prince Dor'anros is naturally very luxurious. Although it is not as magnificent as the White City Palace, it has a more artistic atmosphere. This temperament is also consistent with this economically developed harbor city.
Prince Inlahir, who was slightly fat, immediately stood up from his seat when he saw Jiang Hai and Du Wen.
"Uncle, I brought Jianghai." Du Wen said.
"Uncle... It turns out that Du Wen and Prince Inlahir have such a relationship." Jiang Hai thought. Since Du Wen and Prince Inlahir are not only purely superiors and subordinates, but also relatives, then his benefactor who saved Du Wen will definitely get more rewards.
"Welcome, Jianghai! In this era when darkness is gradually eroding the light and war is everywhere, it is very rare to have a distinguished guest from afar coming to this city. If you can see the blue robe mage in the future, please say hello to him on my behalf." Inlashir opened his arms and hugged Jianghai like a giant bear, with a long-lost smile on his face. He was frustrated by the pirates of Anba recently, and he had not had such a good mood for a long time.
"Your Highness, your generosity and enthusiasm are impressive. The Blue Robe Master once mentioned the beautiful city of Dor Anros to me and praised it endlessly."
After saying hello, Prince Inlahir returned to the throne and said with a serious expression: "The harassment of the pirates of Amba is getting more and more crazy. This city needs capable people to fight against evil. Jianghai, are you willing to use your life to protect this city?"
Jianghai is naturally willing.
After receiving a positive answer, Prince Inlahir asked Jiang Hai to kneel on one knee, pulled out his sword, put it on his shoulder, and said, "I will grant you the title of Gondor Knight."
"Fullying the goal: Meet Prince Inlahir."
“Prince Inlahir’s friendship +15 (with extra favorability +9 due to the charm correction).
"You have gained the reputation of the Gondor faction 10."
"The cumulative reputation of the Gondor faction: 11. You won the title of Gondor Knight."
"You have obtained temporary production license: peasant. Gondor militia. Gondor militia archer. Gondor militia rider. Dorianros seaman."
"New mission objective: Wait for the orders of Prince Inlahir."
After hearing the message prompt, Jiang Hai felt relieved: "I can finally produce some troops that can be used for battle. Although the Swan Knight is strong, it needs to occupy a large amount of leadership and the highest level of the barracks, and it is not available at all."
After obtaining the title of Gondor Knight, Prince Inlahir whispered a few words to Du Wen, then took Jiang Hai to the vault and received a large bag of gold coins from the financial officer.
"You are already a Gondor nobleman and have the right to recruit troops. This money is allocated to you by His Royal Highness the Prince. Make good use of this time to prepare. We are planning to launch a counterattack against the pirates of Amba, and look forward to fighting side by side with you."
After saying that, Du Wen quietly stuffed Jiang Hai a small bag. He lowered his voice and said, "This is His Highness the Prince's private gift, don't tell anyone else."
Jiang Hai knew that this was Prince Inlahir's gratitude for saving his nephew.
After leaving the Prince's Palace, Du Wen found a good-environment mansion in the city for Jianghai. Due to the rampant pirates, many people left Dorianros and moved to the town under the white mountains. At this time, the housing prices in Dorianros were very low.
After returning to his residence, Jianghai entered the base space and began construction and production work.
First of all, one of the most basic buildings in the base space needs to be built, a supply production factory. The factory can produce supplies by consuming energy. The supply produced by the supply factory includes food, medicine, forage, etc., and materials necessary for military combat. If the supply is insufficient, the combat effectiveness of the army will be greatly reduced, and the organization will continue to decline until it reaches zero and the troops will collapse.
In addition to the supply factory, Jianghai began to build a barracks, a stable, and a shooting range. These are all necessary buildings for recruiting troops. If you want to recruit more advanced troops, these buildings need to be upgraded.
