I'm Crowdfunding an Empire in Another World

"Perhaps we can establish a nation here." Under the gaze of a motley crowd, Xia Lan O'Gullos planted the Ink Sea Dragon Banner on Bolavis, which was still a desolate island. No one beli...

Chapter 31 Craftsman

Xia Lan was busy repairing the wood removed from the wooden wall when Kannibuli and a few old men from Bailang Island stopped him.

"Your Majesty, these are the craftsmen I brought back from White Wave Island. They include stonemasons, carpenters, and blacksmiths. It's up to you to decide how to arrange them."

Kanulibaly did not drink on the way because he had to lead the returning fleet through the dangerous waters outside Boravice. After returning to Boravice, he could no longer resist the urge to drink. At this time, he was slightly tipsy and his tongue was a little tied.

However, seeing that he was still busy even after drinking so much, Xia Lan did not blame him. Instead, she looked at these craftsmen. Except for a strong old man, the others were obviously malnourished.

When these people arrived in Boravice, they were told that they were not going to the Blackwater Island, which did not exist at all, but to the legendary lost land of Boravice.

It had been found by the legendary navigator Kannepal Tiphon, and someone founded a kingdom called Faox on it.

Facing the king of this new country, several old men saluted respectfully.

These craftsmen were led by a burly old man named Gao Anlu, who came to the Baltic Sea with the first lord of Bailang Island and had been working as an ironworker on Bailang Island for more than twenty years.

He witnessed the first Lord of Brownsea Island go out to sea and never be heard from again, experienced the storm that trapped the island, the hungry people who had run out of food rioted and killed the second Lord of Brownsea Island, and survived the ten years of tyranny of Tone Soutine.

He didn't want to come at first, but under Carmenla's persuasion, he left the blacksmith shop on Brownsea Island to his eldest son and brought his youngest son and his family here to try his luck.

After this, he found that he really needed to teach the guys here how to forge weapons.

He didn't know how the people here could produce so much high-quality steel, but looking at the armor with dents and the slightly crooked steel swords that were obviously made by novices, he couldn't let these guys waste such resources.

So he hurriedly dragged them here, and the old drunkard who boasted that he was the legendary figure Kanniul Tiphon found Xia Lan, and for this reason he even gave up looking for his idol Kanniul Tiphon.

Sixteen years ago, when Kannepal Tifeng passed by White Wave Island, Gao Luan saw him with his own eyes. He was a true aristocrat with gentlemanly manners who could charm a large number of young women. He was definitely not this unshaven, drunken old man.

Xia Lan was very pleased to hear that the old man was so enthusiastic about his work. However, the iron tools he had now were enough, so she asked this old man who might have obsessive-compulsive disorder to correct the iron tools that he didn't like.

Finally, Xia Lan turned her attention to the thin old man standing behind Gao Ruan. His timid look reminded Xia Lan of Delain before his magic power was awakened.

The old man's name is Tigerwin, a stonemason from Brownsea Island. He was brought to Brownsea Island by Tone Sudin himself from Zilaner Island. He planned and designed the dock castle on Brownsea Island.

However, during the construction process, we saw that Toné Soutine did not care about the lives of the workers at all for the sake of the project. Shiploads of lives were consumed by his drawings, and he gradually changed from a high-spirited master of architecture to this.

When he heard that Blackwater Island was recruiting, he took his family and left Whitelang Island without hesitation. The two old men who were about his age and protected him were his two apprentices.

Xia Lan thought that the only place that needed a stonemason now was the Temple of Truth, which had to be built halfway, so he put him in charge and made sure it was built big and majestic enough.

The remaining carpenters happened to be repairing the house together, and the house they had built before was too rough, so it was a good opportunity to improve it. Arthurs had been dissatisfied with his Dragon Palace (a larger wooden house) for a long time.
