From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

After careful consideration, Krober finally decided to follow the orders of the Grand Duke and set out on a journey to the Three Daughters Islands to wipe out the pirates and become the baron of Black Feather Island.

In his communication with Marquis Daniel, Krober keenly realized that this world's understanding and utilization of marine resources is still at a very elementary level.

Although this vast ocean is different from the previous life and has no mineral resources, its large amount of biological resources is still a wealth that cannot be underestimated.

In addition, this world also has sea salt, which is the toxic natural sea salt.

This world lacks effective sea salt processing methods.

However, Krober is confident because his previous world has a complete set of sea salt processing methods and seawater salt filtration methods.

In his eyes, the turbulent sea is like a treasure house hiding endless wealth, waiting for his discovery.

But Marquis Daniel disagrees with this idea from the bottom of his heart.

Marquis Daniel hopes that Krober can walk the path he has arranged for him steadily.

Krober only needs to practice peacefully under his protection, and after breaking through to the Sky Knight, he can grow the family with him. There is no need to take risks to fight for a small baron title when he is weak.

If Krober is willing, he can make him a viscount on the spot.

Marquis Daniel naturally knows the interests behind Black Feather Island, he just doesn't want Krober to take risks for these small interests.

If Black Feather Island is compared with the baron's territory alone, it will definitely become a hot commodity that everyone fights for.

Even among the viscounts, Black Feather Island is like a hen that lays golden eggs, creating considerable tax wealth every year.

However, the Golden Rose Family is rich and powerful, and the family business is huge, and they don't look down on the meager profits brought by maritime trade.

In addition, their family territories are all located in inland areas. For an enclave so far away from the family, it is useless even if they have it in their hands. It is better to manage their own territory.

"I can't do anything about it, Grandfather. This is the order of the Grand Duke. You can't let me disobey it, can you?"

Krober had no choice but to bring up Grand Duke Veronica.

"It's easy to talk to the Grand Duke. He just wants you to go and wipe out the pirates. I will directly send a Knight of the Earth to lead a formal knight team to go with you."

"But you don't have to accept the title of Baron of Black Feather Island. If you want a fiefdom, I can allocate a Viscount territory for you from my Marquis territory. This is much better than the Baron of Black Feather Island!"

It can be seen that Marquis Daniel really cares about his grandson, and even generously expressed his willingness to directly grant him the title of Viscount.

However, Klober had a different idea:

"Grandfather, I think the Grand Duke may want me to hone my skills on Black Feather Island. After all, it is the royal territory, and the Grand Duke sent me there out of trust and training.

So I think I should not only go to Black Feather Island, but also govern it better. Only in this way can the Grand Duke see my ability and entrust me with important tasks in the future.

Besides, I can help the family expand trade routes, cultivate maritime power, and even go out to sea to find new islands. My Black Feather Island can become the base of the family."

The words of his grandson made Marquis Daniel fall into deep thought.

Looking at the energetic and confident young man in front of him, Marquis Daniel sighed. Obviously, what Klober said really touched his heart.

The Golden Rose Family does lack a maritime force of its own. Most of the other Marquis families have caravans organized by their own fleets, which shuttle back and forth between the Emerald Kingdom and the Principality in the past. Although the shipbuilding technology of the Principality is not mature, it is enough to support ships to conduct near-sea and ocean trade, although the profit is not lucrative, and it can even be said that it is not very profitable.

But if a fleet can be organized.....

The Golden Rose Family may be able to open up more markets with its own strong strength, rather than being limited to the Emerald Kingdom.

To put it bluntly, if one day the Emerald Kingdom and the Golden Grand Duchy fall out and cut off trade, the Golden Rose Family will suffer a great loss. The current economic situation in the territory is more inclined to planting cash crops, and the proportion of crops has dropped to 30%.

Almost 10% of the food of the Golden Rose Family is imported from outside to maintain consumption every year. If a war breaks out....

As the leader of a family, Marquis Daniel must think of the worst possibility. Now he has done his best to maintain the proportion of 30% of the family's crops.

The terrain of the Golden Rose Family's territory is mainly forests and mountains, which is not suitable for large-scale planting of crops. On the contrary, it is very suitable for planting economic crops, such as agarwood and medicinal materials.

This also means that although the Golden Rose Family's territory looks extremely prosperous, if the food supply is cut off, it will cause a devastating blow.

At this time, if Black Feather Island can become an outpost for the family to open up its own trade routes...

Marquis Daniel secretly sighed in his heart: "Maybe it's a good thing to let Krober go through some training..."

"What you said makes sense. The Grand Duke may appreciate you and want to give you a chance to train. Black Feather Island may really bring new benefits to the family."

Marquis Daniel paused and continued:

"How many people do you want from me this time? Let's make it clear first. Since the Grand Duke wants you to be tempered, I naturally cannot give you too much power. The Great Knight is the strongest power I can give you."

.....

As if the person who just asked the Earth Knight to go with him was not him.

"Grandfather, I don't want more this time. I just want two teams of soldiers. It's better to send two formal knights to me. I don't need the Great Knight. Knight Foster is about to break through. I will take him with me on this mission."

Two teams of soldiers means twenty people. The Three Daughters Islands are at the easternmost part of the Principality. It is not suitable to travel too far with too many people. Twenty people are just right.

"Okay, I will arrange two elite teams for you. If you are a formal knight, let Herman and Hyer go with you. I will prepare enough supplies for you to use for a month. After that, you can replenish them in the chambers of commerce of the Golden Rose Family."
