Chapter 60 Sea King Duke (Part 1)

Another brilliant victory.

More witnesses, more loot.

For three consecutive days, the corpse of the leader of the Greyscale Naga and hundreds of murlocs hung in the port of Stormwind City.

"The Naga and murlocs within 300 nautical miles away from Stormwind City have been wiped out by the great Lord Duke Marcus. Fishermen, you can go fishing as much as you want - if you join our 'Hurricane Chamber of Commerce' , you will get better protection and better income.”

"If you don't have a boat, we can lend it to you first. You only need to sign a five-year labor contract with our chamber of commerce. You will spend no less than 25 weeks at sea every year, and promise to hand over 30% of each catch to the chamber of commerce. A brand new The fishing boat is your property, as long as the contract expires, the fishing boat will belong to you."

As one of Duke's mouthpieces, Marcaro has officially turned into a follower of Duke.

Now, he often encourages more fishermen on the pier for Duke, and more boys join Duke's newly established Hurricane Chamber of Commerce.

In fact, Duke's use of the usual tricks of pre-travel taxi companies to seduce fishermen or descendants of fishermen who can't find work is really beneficial.

And more varieties of fish and seafood have also supported Duke's business expansion.

Especially in the last month, Duke has formed a whaling fleet.

On the big ship, Duke patted several huge wine barrels next to him.

"This is the buoy. As long as we hit the whale with the javelin attached to the rope, we don't need to fight this giant monster. We only need to stop it from diving. When it exhausts its strength, the victory will belong to us. "

Duke's commentary made Windsor, who was standing next to Duke, speechless.

Yes, Windsor is back, with the artisans Duke needs. He had heard Duke's fame in Kul Tiras before he even reached Stormwind.

A pearl route.

In this era when deep diving means fighting with murlocs, naga, and sharks, most people can only try their luck to pick up pearls from shells washed up on the beach. But Duke has continuously produced various underwater specialties that make the nobles crazy.

The emergence of the pearl route also stimulated the merchants of Kul Tiras who ran sea merchants.

A bet of 500 gold coins?

It is more than two more zeros.

So Windsor later simply said that he was sent by the owner of the pearl route to recruit craftsmen. In addition, Duke persuaded the Stormwind City military to lend a griffin, and asked Markaro to fly over and directly bring a gold ticket of 20,000 gold coins to Windsor.

As a result, Windsor came back this time, in addition to bringing a huge team of 200 craftsmen, he also cleared out the inventory of all the shipyards in Kul Tiras.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he came back, Duke had a new idea when he saw the big ship brought by Windsor-whale hunting fleet.

People use their arms to throw spears, but Duke is better, cheating directly and letting the mage put the javelin on the whale's tail.

A group of sailors looked at the large barrels dangling on the sea in surprise, but they didn't sink.

More than an hour later, the exhausted whale surfaced. Seeing this scene, hundreds of sailors on the three whaling ships burst into cheers at the same time.

Windsor and Markaro were dumbfounded.

"Reggie, do you know what this big guy is useful for?"

Reginald Windsor, nicknamed Reggie, is still very uncomfortable with Duke's almost blind trust in him and his familiarity.

He wanted to do business, but remembered that he had lost the bet and that he was already Duke's follower. With a sigh in his heart, Windsor tentatively replied: "Can you eat it?"

Duke smiled and shook his head: "Most whale meat is not tasty. What I want is the inside of the whale."

Duke wouldn't say it, his target was the ambergris from the sperm whale. If that thing is made into a perfume, it will drive all noble ladies in the human kingdom of Azeroth crazy. He still knows how to do it in general, and this will be the key stepping stone for Duke to open the door to wealth and convenience.

Duke continued: "Of course, I won't waste such a large piece of meat. Drag it back, and I'll tell you how to make it delicious. By the way, whale fat is also a good thing."

Duke already has a complete set of brewing methods for soy sauce, which was purely inadvertently remembered by Duke when he was bored before.

He will divide the craft into multiple parts, which are operated by different masters. In fact, the first finished products are already out, and they work quite well.

A few days later, in the palace of Stormwind City.

King Lyan Wrynn and Queen, the young prince and princess, and Anduin Lothar saw the royal chef serving him a dish he had never seen before.

"This is..." The king looked up and looked at his royal cook strangely.

"This is a new dish that recently appeared in Stormwind City—raw salmon."

"Fish? That smelly thing? And how do you eat it raw?"

In Azeroth, people don't know how to avoid fish. In most aristocratic concepts, things like fish are eaten by inferior people.

But the royal chef showed Ryan and Anduin how to pour lemon juice on iced salmon and how to order wasabi and soy sauce to eat raw in the way Duke personally taught.

With the mentality of trying, Ryan and Anduin both tried.

"Well, it really tastes very special, I think I like this stuff a little bit." Ryan wiped his mouth gently.

The little prince and the little princess kept saying that they would add another portion.

At this time, Anduin spoke: "Ryan, remember that Duke Marcus who made a big show?"

"Of course I remember, the youngest earth mage in our kingdom." When answering, Ryan also glanced at the fan-shaped red coral placed in the eye-catching position in the restaurant. The fiery red coral has a radius of nearly one meter. Duke dedicated his king: "What?"

"He also made this thing."

"Oh? Isn't he a mage? How did he become a cook?" King Ryan was curious.

"Actually, this mage Marcus has done a lot." Anduin told Ryan one by one what Duke had done recently. From recovering Naga and murlocs to set up pearl routes, to expanding fishermen's fishing range, to whaling, to making spices such as soy sauce and mustard.

The more Ryan listens, the more he enjoys it: "I like this little guy. My tax officer has mentioned him to me more than once, and the taxes are paid on time and in full. Well, it seems that we are going to have a good year It's a pity... Medivh is missing, otherwise I would have recommended this dish to him."

"The problem is that recently, he officially submitted a report to me, hoping to form a whaling team of 200 people, using javelins and ballistas, and hoping to expand a large stone pier."
