Papa Pompeii is an old native of Dunerke, he doesn't know how many generations ago, his ancestors have been living in Dunerke, and his family has witnessed all the historical events of Dunerke, which has become the third largest port in the empire from a small fishing village where birds don't, and the only ice-free port in the north of the empire.
When he was younger, Daddy Pompeii was also very aggressive, he worked as a porter on the docks for two years, and then because of his good kung fu with two fists, he was absorbed into a violent gang of porters.
Naturally, like almost all combative young men in Dunerke, Pompeii's father, with his watery nature, became a little pirate.
After a few years of adrift at sea with the old captain, and after a few years of eating meat and drinking in the wind and waves, and changing girls every night, like the other brave and fierce countrymen, Papa Pompeii met a girl he really loved.
So the pirate Pompeii evaporated, and Dun Erke had an Uncle Pompeii who opened a tavern, and as the years passed, Uncle Pompeii became Pompeii's father.
Daddy Pompeii, who once liked to talk with his fists and daggers, now has three sons who like to mess with trouble more than he did back then.
Obviously, his tavern could not be inherited by his three unruly sons, and that tavern could feed one family, but not three.
Daddy Pompeii didn't want two of his three sons to follow his own path, begging for a rough life at sea, and maybe one day they would be killed somewhere, thrown into the sea like garbage to feed the fish.
So Papa Pompeii took out all his savings, including all the profits he had made from his nearly ten years at sea, and all the income that his tavern had brought him over the decades, a total of ten thousand golden coins.
All of his savings were invested by Papa Pompeii in the Trident Whale Hunting Company and into the whaling ship Windmill of the Sea, which was being built.
Honorably becoming a minority shareholder in a whaling company, Daddy Pompeii waited two years in anxiety for the great windmill of the sea to finally be completed and launched.
In this year's whale hunting season, if the sea windmill catches something, it only takes a bumper harvest to make all shareholders recover their costs, and all its profits in the future will become net profits for shareholders.
Pompeii's plan was simple and simple, recovering the costs in the first year, and then making a profit equal to his total input costs every year.
After deducting the taxes paid to the Empire, he would have a total asset of nearly 100,000 gold coins in ten years, which was enough for him to find a good plot of land in Dunerke and open a inn of considerable size.
A tavern can't support three sons and their future families, but a tavern plus a decent inn is more than enough to feed five sons and their families.
Papa Pompeii wants his sons to follow the rules and stop following the same path as he did when he was young and frivolous.
Early in the morning, I heard rumors in the harbor that the windmills were entering the port, and Daddy Pompeii hurried to the port.
He was very surprised why the big windmill of the sea would come back today.
According to the whale hunt plan, he will not be able to return to Hong Kong until at least seven days later.
Could it be that this year's luck was particularly good, as soon as the sea windmill came out of the port, it encountered a good harvest Or maybe it's just too bad luck and the big windmill at sea is in some trouble?
With a worried mind, Daddy Pompeii waited quietly in the crowd.
As a result, when the big windmill of the sea stopped at the berth, Daddy Pompeii saw at first glance the huge hole in the butt of the huge ship, which had been split by an external force, and the steel plates around it were cracked and melted.
Daddy Pompeii's eyes suddenly went dark, and the ship was in big trouble Daddy Pompeii seemed to see that his 10,000 gold coins were giving birth to 10,000 pairs of cute little wings, fluttering away from him.
He seems to have seen his three sons wielding large axes and machetes as they robbed merchant ships at sea, and then were shot into hedgehogs with bows and crossbows by the mercenaries who escorted him.
Although he has never seen such a magical creature as a hedgehog with his own eyes, this does not prevent Daddy Pompeii from imagining what it should look like, and the three sons who are covered in arrow shafts are stacked together, which should be a perfect interpretation of the hedgehog as a creature.
There was a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood brewed in Daddy Pompeii's throat.
It was at this time that Daddy Pompeii saw Blackbeard and saw this big man who was so important in Dunerke.
He also saw Lin Qi and Blackbeard hugging each other warmly, and when he heard Lin Qi's understatement, he teamed up with Enzo and killed a prey.
Daddy Pompeii's heart suddenly tightened, if a prey is a one-narwhal whale, then things are not too bad.
This year, he will be able to recoup at least a little of the cost, and even if the maintenance costs of the windmill at sea are added, Papa Pompeii will be able to return to his tavern with a little gold.
But like all the restless minor, Daddy Pompeii was filled with a certain irritation at Lin Qi.
There is only one prey, and you actually let the big windmill of the sea go home, and there is only one prey, and you actually caused so much damage to the big windmill of the sea.
The repair cost of this giant ship is very expensive, and it will cost tens of thousands of gold coins to repair such a large hole with a diameter of about two meters.
At this moment, the representatives of the small shareholders who were happy rushed out, and they stood at the bow of the ship and held high the golden one, with threads on the surface, more than four meters long, and a single horn the thickness of an ordinary person's waist rod at the bottom The unique color, the unique thread, the length of the narwhal's horn, all this tells everyone on the dock, Lin Qi and Enzo, the two noble young masters, that they hunted a narwhal king A narwhal king whose value is more than ten times or twenty times that of an ordinary narwhal Daddy Pompeii's heart was beating violently, and the hot blood rushed down the veins into his brain, constantly washing over every part of his body.
He hugged everyone around him enthusiastically, yelling incoherently and waving his hands vigorously.
He seemed to see a brand new inn completed, his three sons, his beautiful and sturdy daughter-in-law, and his grandchildren running and crawling all over the ground.
Happiness came so quickly and so suddenly, Daddy Pompey's tears rolled down, and he looked up to the sky and smiled: "Young Master Linqi, Young Master Enzo, they are really... ” Father Pompeii, who was short of words, hesitated for a while, and he suddenly shouted: "Young Master Linqi, Young Master Enzo, you are men among men" The dignitaries on the dock burst into laughter, and they all nodded their heads in admiration, which was so appropriate.
Lin Qi and Enzo bowed to the frenzied crowd around them in a reserved manner, and everyone was firmly wrapped in a happy atmosphere
