"Lord Wu Lai, please understand my difficulties. You caused such a big commotion. If I didn't react, I wouldn't be able to bear the blame from the family." Plancy said with a smile, "However, the person I sent to report the news should still be 'sick' on the way. That kid 'sick' is really at the wrong time, hahahaha."
"Thank you." Wu Lai patted Plancy on the shoulder and said sincerely. Although he and Plancy did not have many interactions, and even took advantage of this warmonger from some perspectives, the favor Plancy gave him at this moment was not small. How could he not be moved?
"You're welcome." Plansy smiled and waved his hand. "I wish you a safe journey, Master Wulai."
"Goodbye." Wu Lai nodded.
"Goodbye. By the way, please rest assured that as long as I am still the governor of Salt Marsh City, I will never change your systems." Plancy said again.
"The system is dead, but people are alive. We should adapt to local conditions." Wu Lai nodded with a smile, turned around and got on the bus.
In the carriage, Shelley was sitting on a fur mat to rest. When she saw Wu Lai coming in, she pouted and said, "Wu Lai, you don't understand me at all now."
"What are you talking about?" Wu Lai laughed, told the driver to start, and sat next to Shelley.
"I came here non-stop from the Aurelius Basin, and you didn't even let me rest for a night before leaving. Tell me, is it because of Loli and Iris that you..." Shelley pouted again.
"Stop being so petty and saying these sour things. Don't worry, in my heart, you hold a higher position than anyone else." Wu Lai said as he hugged Shelley with heartache. Shelley knew him later than Loli and Iress, but she had gone through that ordeal with him. In dangerous situations, the two supported each other and encouraged each other. On the way to escape, no matter how hard, tiring or difficult it was, Shelley gritted her teeth and held on without complaining. She was worried that she would drag Wu Lai down.
Wu Lai naturally saw and remembered all of this, so what he said just now was really heartfelt. Although Loli worked very hard to manage his family business and worry about it, Wu Lai felt that he owed Shelley more.
"Really?" Shelley's eyes lit up, and she held Wu Lai's face with both hands and looked at him.
After carefully looking into Wu Lai's eyes, Shelley giggled and released his hand: "I can be sure that you are telling the truth. I forgot to tell you that I almost couldn't come."
"Why?" Wu Lai was stunned.
"It's a long story, but I can make it short. The Aurelius Basin has secretly attached itself to the Tianjuan Empire." When Shelley said this, a trace of disgust suddenly flashed across his brows. "I hate their behavior. They are spineless."
Woolley smiled and shook his head.
"By the way, there's this. You said you wanted to see it, and I promised you. But I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to go back in the future, so I stole it out." Shelley said as he opened the wooden box on the side of the cushion and took out an exquisite leather bag from it.
Wu Lai took the bag and opened it. His heartbeat accelerated involuntarily. After a short silence, his eyes began to turn red...
…
After the caravan had been traveling for 26 days, the horse trail came to an abrupt end in front of a series of mountains. In the territory of Assyria, Polang Town was the only town without a direct access by horse trail, so it was also the first town in Assyria to decline. After the rise of livestock and poultry farming, the fishing industry in Polang Town suffered a devastating blow.
When the convoy stopped at the foot of the mountain, Bailey came up with more than a hundred people.
"Master, Master, you're back." When Bailey saw Wu Lai, he burst into tears.
Wu Lai sighed softly, reached out and patted Bailey on the shoulder: "Puya told me what you did. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard. It's what I should do, young master. When I knew you were back a few days ago, I deserted my post and ran here from Polang Town to wait for you." Bailey wiped his tears while smiling.
"How is everyone? Have you all arrived on the island?" Wu Lai nodded and asked.
"Some have already reached the island, and some are still waiting in Polang Town." Bailey hurriedly explained. It turned out that although Polang Town was a fishing town, it had long been depressed and dilapidated. Although there were still more than 4,000 people, there were less than 100 ships. Except for four large ships that could carry 100 people, the rest of the ships could not sail to the big island.
"Those small boats can't withstand the wind and waves. Now we have to rely on these four large sailing ships for round trip transportation. Each round trip takes nine days. If the wind and waves are strong, we can't leave the port. That's why it has taken so long for all of us to get there. By the way, young master, Young Master David has temporarily named the island Grindo Island. In addition, the townspeople of Breaking Waves Town are also willing to follow us to Grindo Island." Bailey added.
"This kid did a really good job." Wu Lai nodded with a smile. There was no shortage of sailors and shipbuilding craftsmen in Polang Town. Recruiting them would not be as simple as just increasing the population by a few thousand.
"Master, do you think we should set up camp and rest for a night before continuing?" Bailey asked. Although this place is less than a hundred miles away from Polang Town, it requires crossing more than ten or twenty mountains. In many sections of the road, mules and horses are just decorations. In Bailey's opinion, Wu Lai and his party have been exhausted from the journey, so it would be a good idea to rest for a night to recover their strength and set off again tomorrow.
Wu Lai thought for a moment and waved his hand: "Let's go."
"Yes." Bailey puffed out his chest and answered loudly.
…
The town governor of Broken Waves is named Heizmo. He is over 60 years old and is somewhat related to George Joyce, the governor of Lovington. However, it is obvious that George does not take this distant relative who was born and raised in Broken Waves too seriously, otherwise he would not have sat idly by and watched Broken Waves decline into its current state.
But Heizmer was a man who was willing to do something for the townspeople under his rule. Although his status was lower than that of the nobles in Lovington, his aristocratic character and kindness were far greater than those guys.
Heizmo had naturally met Wu Lai, and knew Wu Lai's abilities and the achievements he had made in Saltmarsh Town. This was one of the reasons why he agreed to David's request to let the entire Breaking Waves Town submit to Greendo Island. Another reason was due to Heizmo's dissatisfaction with the Duncan family's actions. He believed that Qiyuan Duncan's choice to retreat and occupy the Longvington area when the territory was in the most critical moment was undoubtedly a betrayal of the territory.
In this case, if Breaking Waves Town continued to belong to Lunvington, it would mean that he would also become a traitor to the territory. At least, that's what Heizmo thought.
Therefore, the only condition he put forward to David was that Grindel Island must be loyal to Assyria forever.
David's answer at the time was - "Grindul will not only be loyal to Assyria forever, but will also be committed to the revival of Assyria in the future."
Heizmo was very satisfied with David's answer: "Oh, David, this is the answer I want. You, like your adoptive father, are rare talents in the Assyrian territory."
"No, compared to my godfather, I am far, far behind," said David.
When Wu Lai and his party appeared on the grass beach in front of the entrance of Polang Town, Heizmo greeted them with a smile. The tall watchtower at the entrance of the town not only overlooked the returning fishing boats on the sea, but also the situation on the mountain road. Moreover, Heizmo had become accustomed to welcoming the future residents of Grindel Island over the past period of time...
"Lord Wu Lai, I didn't expect you to come so soon. I just heard the news a few days ago and I thought it would take a few days for you to arrive." Heizmo said after he and Wu Lai saluted each other.
"The journey was relatively smooth. My subordinates have been bothering me a lot these days. Thank you, Lord Heizmo. By the way, I no longer hold an official position, so I am not worthy of the title of Lord. Lord Heizmo can just call me by my name in the future." Wu Lai said with a smile.
"With this group of stupid and selfish guys around, it's better not to have this official position. Lord Wu Lai, your story of going through all kinds of hardships and escaping death makes me terrified. Now that you are safe and sound, Assyria has more hope." Haizmo said with a smile, his eyes full of relief.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Lord Heizmo, you flatter me too much." Wu Lai laughed, but was too lazy to correct Heizmo's way of addressing him.
"Please invite Lord Wulai and his family to rest in my house." Heizmo gestured to invite him. "The ship going to and from Grindo Island will not return until two days later."
Wu Lai nodded, turned around and waved at Shelley. Shelley, who was teasing the cute baby, saw this, smiled, lifted her skirt, and walked over quickly.
…
In the previous memory, Wu Lai was very envious of a fictional character - Huang Yaoshi, the owner of Peach Blossom Island in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", because Huang Yaoshi had an island of his own, where he could grow peaches, plums, and enjoy the spring breeze, and was free.
Wu Lai longed for a free and easy life, otherwise he would not have chosen to stay at the foot of the snowy mountains with Mengbao and Lao Laba in the last years of his previous memory. However, if it had not been for this, he would not have had this bizarre experience.
On the morning of the third day of the voyage, Grindo Island was already in sight, but it was still just a dark shadow at the end of the sea. There was a side wind today, so the ship was not going very fast. The sailor told Woolley that they would not be able to reach the port until dusk.
The sunshine was very nice today, and there was a gentle sea breeze. At this moment, Wu Lai was sitting comfortably next to a pile of empty wine barrels on the bow deck, resting his eyes, too lazy to think about anything.
After a while, Shelley, whose face was rather pale, walked over to Wu Lai and sat down. She had been suffering from severe seasickness in the past two days. She basically vomited everything she ate and became completely exhausted.
"Wu Lai, I feel so uncomfortable. How long will it take?" Shelley leaned her head on Wu Lai's shoulder with a bitter face.
"It's almost there. We'll be there in the afternoon. Have you had a good rest?" Wu Lai asked with a smile.
"Yeah." Shelley nodded and glanced around. "Huh? Why is this black box lit up? Has it 'woke up'?"
Wu Lai burst out laughing. The black box Shelley mentioned was actually a mobile phone, an authentic non-mass-produced military mobile phone. The person who gave it to Wu Lai changed its shell to be very trendy, making it more in line with Wu Lai's identity as a businessman.
Wu Lai felt a little regretful about this, because after this change, the shape of the phone lost its toughness and the strong sense of heaviness of the military. Fortunately, only the appearance was adjusted, and in terms of materials, this phone still used the habits of military supplies - large pieces of military plastic injection molding and super thick steel plates.
Wu Lai likes this mobile phone very much, not only because it is a military product, but also because in terms of functions, it is much more solid than ordinary mobile phones. It is waterproof, dustproof, drop-proof and pressure-proof, and can be used in harsh environments such as deserts, swamps, rain and sudden shocks. In addition to these outstanding three-proof functions, it also has GPS satellite positioning navigation system, trajectory recording and tracking, cross-regional one-button intercom, electronic compass, barometric temperature altimeter and high-light flashlight.
In addition, the battery of this mobile phone not only supports ultra-long standby, but also supports light energy charging because it has the most advanced photoelectric conversion chip and low-power chip at the time.
But the most important thing is that despite the bizarre journey and the passage of so many years, it still works, it still works!
Now, Wu Lai is charging it!
Being able to charge basically means being able to turn on.
Wu Lai was certain that, although most of the functions of this phone, such as the GPS satellite positioning navigation system, track record tracking, and cross-regional one-touch intercom, had certainly become ineffective in this world, the massive 9G-sized books he had stored in the phone must be safe and sound waiting for him to "wake them up."
The total volume is 9G, covering military industry, machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding, architecture, medicine, aerospace, philosophy, poetry, history...
So, it is an encyclopedia library, an encyclopedia library that was lost and then recovered, an encyclopedia library that can make Wulai and Greendo Island dominate the continent...
"No, it's not called a black box. It's called 'Memory of Another World'." Woolley said to Shelley seriously, "Its 'awakening' can change us and the world."
