Pirates from island owner to king

A total of six high-level talents are undoubtedly geniuses among geniuses.

It's just that there is a mismatch between strength and talent at this age.

But considering his background, personality and hobbies, Wang Hai was not surprised.

At the beginning, Thor was just an ordinary blacksmith in the Kingdom of Flowers. He was born as a commoner and had little opportunity to practice.

Because we don’t have the resources.

Almost every taijutsu practitioner has a terrible appetite, and ordinary families simply cannot support it.

Therefore, even if many people are talented, they may miss the best age for practice.

Some may even miss it in a lifetime.

And talent does not mean that it must be consistent with hobbies and careers.

Some people are amazingly talented in swordsmanship, but they may just like shooting.

Thor has advanced combat talents such as physical skills, combat, and hammer control, but he only likes blacksmithing.

Wang Hai estimated that if he didn't have the talent for weapons such as hammer control, he would be able to develop this talent to a certain extent while blacksmithing.

I'm afraid, he may not have this strength now.

Wang Hai looked at him carefully.

He has blond hair and blue eyes, is tall and strong, and has a good-looking appearance.

He likes to play with hammers and his name is Thor.

This reminded him of another Thor.

Not Thor the dog from Glory of the North, but the hammer from the Marvel Cinematic Universe...Thor.

The only difference between the two of them is the Thunder Fruit.

But the reality is much worse.

The Thor in front of me likes blacksmithing but not fighting, while the other Thor is the opposite and likes fighting with a hammer.

Looking at Thor's talent, Wang Hai felt that it was a pity that he could only be a blacksmith.

You have to be a battle blacksmith no matter what, just like Sanji, the future chef of the Straw Hat Pirates. Being a chef is not only a chef, but also a battle chef.

"Mr. Thor..." Seeing Thor's straightforward look, Wang Hai didn't think much.

But as soon as he started to speak, Thor interrupted him: "Island owner, just call me Thor. Sir, it sounds too awkward. I am just a blacksmith."

"Okay Thor." Wang Hai liked his straightforwardness, so he directly explained his purpose, "I called you here for an important matter. I need to know how much steel we have in stock?"

Thor opened his mouth and answered directly: "There are less than two tons of iron ingots. When I came to Taoyuan Island, I didn't bring any iron ore, it was all iron ingots."

"During this period, we made farm tools, pots and pans, swords, arrows and other things. There were originally ten tons, but now only this much is left."

Wang Hai frowned and looked at Chuan Pu next to him.

Chuan Pu understood what he meant, shook his head and said, "Just two tons is definitely not enough. We need more."

Wang Hai turned to look at Thor again and said: "That's right Thor, we plan to build several villages in the form of castles on the southern defense line, which will require a lot of steel."

"Do you have any suggestions? There is not enough steel. It may be difficult to buy it from the outside world. Is there any iron ore on the island?"

Wang Hai explained and then asked two questions.

As a blacksmith, Thor is familiar with making various iron items.

He needs his advice.

"Castle?" Thor was a little surprised, but didn't care. "In our case, we can only build a castle mainly made of wood and stone. At most, we can use steel in some key places..."

"Even so, two tons is still far from enough. Moreover, land reclamation causes serious wear and tear on agricultural tools. When defending against wild beasts, soldiers' swords also wear out a lot, so some of them need to be kept as spares."

"In that case, we might need a lot of extra iron."

Listening to his analysis, Wang Hai nodded and realized that the matter was more troublesome.

He stared at Thor, hoping to hear good news from him.

Thor continued: "There is indeed iron ore on the island. When we explored Taoyuan Island before, our people discovered it in the west. It is initially speculated that the quality and reserves are good."

This is indeed good news, but not entirely good news.

Iron ore is in the west, and there is no doubt that mining has become a problem.

"Where is the approximate location? Is it within the territory of those top beasts?" Of course Wang Hai was not willing to give up easily and asked.

"Although it is in the west, it is not the territory of those top beasts. Otherwise, our people would not have a chance to come back alive. However, it is also very troublesome. It is unrealistic to exploit on a large scale..."

Thor shook his head and detailed the location of the iron mine.

Wang Hai found a map of Taoyuan Island.

This is a rough map drawn by his father, Wang Zheng, before he brought people to move here.

He found the location Thor mentioned, in the west of Taoyuan Island, about 25 kilometers away from Taoyuan Town.

From the east to the west of Taoyuan Island, the longest distance between the two ends is about [-] kilometers.

The location of the iron ore is approximately in the west near the center.

Although there are no top beasts here, there are still many beasts.

If it were the top beast on the island, he wouldn't be sure to kill it even with his father's major general level strength.

Then the strength of these relatively inferior beasts will not be worse than the current Ananda.

"The village will continue to be built. Chuanpu, please prepare manpower and materials other than steel. If you need anything, go to Wang Jin."

Seeing this situation, Wang Hai thought for a moment and decided to make two preparations. He first said to Chuan Pu.

"I know the island owner, and I will make preparations as soon as possible." Chuan Pu agreed.

Then, he turned to Thor and said: "Thor, I also need you to be prepared. I will try to obtain steel from the outside world first. If it fails, we can only risk mining the iron ore on the island. We will need your help then." help."

After listening to what Thor said, Wang Hai also realized that even if they didn't build a village, they would soon be short of iron.

He couldn't really wait until the day of iron deficiency before hurriedly thinking of a solution. He needed to prepare in advance now.

Thor simply nodded: "No problem, just call me when the time comes."

Even if Wang Hai didn't say anything, Thor planned to mention the iron shortage incidentally.

After all, he wanted to continue to practice his blacksmithing skills and needed more and better steel.

The two then said goodbye and left, and it was evening.

Wang Hai called Zhou Yu over, as well as Ananda and Adele, and everyone had dinner together.

After dinner, Adele took Dabai back to practice sword practice.

Wang Hai talked about iron deficiency.

"This is indeed a headache, but I know it. I will try to buy steel through the two hidden lines we have outside."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu immediately understood his plan.

Wang Hai then said to Ananda: "I still need my uncle's help with this matter. It would be a good thing if we succeed in purchasing steel from the outside world, but we still have to prepare with both hands."

Ananda also understood what he meant and nodded: "Island owner, don't worry, I will investigate the situation near the iron mine in the next few days. If there is an opportunity, I will clear out the beasts entrenched near the iron mine."

Talking to smart people saves your worries.

Wang Hai did not forget to warn him: "Uncle, please be careful and put your own safety first. In addition, these are the self-defense items I prepared for you."
