The Black Duke of the Pirate

"How is the shipyard going? Can it catch up with the progress?" Mingxiao thought for a while and asked. The shipyard was established not long ago, and it is not certain whether it can be officially launched within the year.

"Brother, we don't have any hope at the shipyard for the time being. At least there won't be a new sailboat launched within this year." Brat shook his head. He was taking care of these important things, and he was naturally aware of the progress of the shipyard.

When the shipyard was planned to be established three months ago, it was planned that it would take at least a year to build the first sailing ship. During this time, shipwrights were being called everywhere in the kingdom and even in the North Sea, but the result was not

ideal.

"Yes, shipbuilding is a big project. The amount of the project is no less than that of factory expansion and clock tower construction. It seems that we have to find other ways." Liming sighed and said with some helplessness. Now he has many industrial layouts, but

I just feel that there is not enough time, and with so many industries, I am gradually overwhelmed, and I need to add some new and trustworthy people to handle these things.

From ship design, development, material planning, material procurement to production design, manufacturing process flow combing, welding, hull procedures, hull construction, launching, experiments, etc., this is a complex process, not to mention the

In addition to the early stage of the establishment of a shipping company and shipbuilding workers, it is far from being something that can be done in half a year.

Thinking of this, Mingxiao suddenly thought of another way: "I will contact Colonel Ulma of the Katan Navy Branch to discuss the eradication of pirates in the Katan waters, and then convert the captured pirate ships into merchant ships."

Brat thought about it and realized that this was a very good idea. There were many pirates in the nearby waters, and he should be able to hunt down dozens of pirate ships.

In this way, killing three birds with one stone will not only allow Roentgen, who has entered the navy as an undercover agent, to quickly obtain military merit in this way, but also obtain a pirate ship, which can also have a deterrent effect on North Sea pirates.

The most important point is that Bratt, Moser and others can quickly improve their strength through the battle with pirates.

Especially for Bulat, who has just eaten the Devil Fruit, he needs a lot of fighting to become familiar with the fighting methods of the three forms of the ancient saber-toothed tiger, and to gradually develop the fruit's abilities while improving his strength.

After thinking about it, Brat nodded, and then left the king's palace. He briefly handled a few things at dawn, and then came to the mansion that was transformed from the original princess mansion.

This time point was daytime, at noon. Daytime was the time when Fiona's personality appeared. After sending the guards away, she entered the mansion at dawn.

Speaking of which, since Fiona became king, the two of them have seen each other less.

After a while, Dawn came to the depths of the mansion, opened the door and saw a woman with delicate appearance and noble temperament appearing in front of her.

It had been a while since we last seen her, and she seemed even more beautiful, especially the noble temperament she exuded, which would make any hard-hearted man moved.

Fiona was dressed more casually at this time. She didn't get up in a hurry when she saw Dawn coming in. She was still lying on the soft chair.

Dawn frowned at Fiona's lazy look. The golden cross rapier was placed on a shelf nearby, as if it hadn't been moved for a long time.

Fiona blinked her eyelashes slightly. After noticing that Dawn had not spoken, she spread her hair. Her light blue front-open jumpsuit was a bit messy, and her white chest was exposed, which was a bit too big.

Thrilling.

The crimson patterned high heels under her feet were also thrown far away, and a pair of delicate white feet were dangling lazily.

If she were older, she would be earth-shatteringly beautiful. There are many types of beauty in women. In terms of temperament, Fiona has two personalities with very different temperaments, which will naturally cause two visual contrasts. From the senses

Looking up, this is also a stunning beauty.

Fiona's whole body has a natural lazy charm and a clear innocence without any magazine. Fiona, another personality, has a feminine elegant, sexy and indifferent temperament, like a lotus growing in the ice.

Same.

"You are here... our Lord Duke." Fiona's face was flushed, and she was half drunk and half charming. She smiled at Dawn who walked in, and then picked up the wine on the table and started drinking.

Got up.

Dawn frowned and watched this scene quietly. He walked over and sat across from Fiona. He looked at a few empty wine bottles and said lightly: "You are now a king, so you should

You have to look like a king."

His voice was very soft and gentle. Although it didn't sound reproachful at all, in Fiona's ears, it turned into a kind of indifference that could not be rejected. He spoke exactly like the Reinhardt he met a few months ago.

There was no blame or order in his tone, but he was overbearing and could not be refused.

He's always been like this...this bastard man!

Fiona was angry, so after finishing the wine in the cup, she looked at Dawn indifferently: "King? The king of which kingdom..."

Her eyes were blurred with drunkenness, and she continued to say as if mumbling to herself: "Isn't the king of this country you Reinhardt?"

Dawn looked at her flushed face calmly and didn't answer for a while.

"Why are you silent, you bastard Duke?"

"Are you done?" Dawn replied, but Fiona shook her head: "No, I hate you."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Dawn took the wine directly and looked at her coldly.

Fiona is very unusual today.

Listening to Dawn's increasingly cold voice, Fiona suddenly shook her head and lay motionless on the table. It took a while before she heard her slight cry.

Mingxiao was a little confused by all this, but did not bother him. He just sat quietly on the chair and listened to the cry of this female king who was only 18 years old.

After a while, the crying stopped, and Fiona snorted: "Why don't you ask me why I'm crying?"

When she said this, she still had a girl's unique coquettish look on her face, and she looked at him innocently.

Dawn finally showed a smile, Fiona was slightly shocked, and her mood suddenly calmed down, as if all the cruelty she had endured in her heart was nothing.

"If you want to say it, you will tell me naturally." Dawn took the wine glass in front of her and poured herself a glass of wine. The scarlet wine was like blood. After Dawn drank it in one gulp, she replied with a smile: "I

I don’t like to explore other people’s secrets.”

After hearing this, Fiona said softly "Yeah".
