Volume 6 Chapter 70 - Heaven Island (1/2)

There was a black line on the horizon on the sea.

“Sir Leslie, we’re about to arrive at Heaven Island.”

“Un, prepare to land.” Leslie put down the telescope in his hand and nodded at his subordinate as he gave his order.

The sailors on the guard ship immediately went off.

After half an hour, fifteen guard ships with two large transport Magic Ships arrived at the harbour that had been completed on Heaven Island half a year ago.

The residents on the island saw this fleet approach, but they didn’t reveal any panicked looks at all. Rather, they were all very excited as they came to the harbour with looks of expectations on their faces, looking like they were here to welcome them.

After this fleet came from the far Sines Continent to their Heaven Island the first time, it had already come several dozen times ago, so the residents of the island were already used to seeing it.

This fleet always brought many new things, for example, the special products from the continent, the products that were rare on the island, and these strange and useful things called magic machines……

When the residents bought these previous goods, they didn’t use gold coins that were used everywhere, but rather they exchanged some common herbs that could be found on Heaven Island.

At the same time, this wide dock that had over ten wharves was completely funded by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

When building this harbour, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce hired many island residents to help with the construction. They had given the workers a wage as high as five gold coins a month, which let these island residents earn quite a bit.

So for the people of the island, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and this fleet were like angels that came from heaven. They gave them all kinds of good things, so naturally they would be very happy to welcome them each time.

When the fleet anchored at the dock, there were many island residents that came forward.

However, the people who came down first were in full armour, who looked like majestic soldiers.

The people of the island weren’t surprised by this since the people of the fleet had told them that the endless seas were filled with danger. They would frequently run into pirates, so it was natural that they would be armed to protect themselves.

But the island residents also noticed that this time, there were much more guards that came down from the ships.

When this fleet came before, there would only be around a hundred guards, but this time, there were four to five hundred guards.

When they lined up on the harbour, it looked like a black mass that was very powerful.

Of course, after they noticed the super large steel ships that weren’t that far away, everyone calmed down.

There were more ships that came this time, so it wasn’t strange that there would be more guards.

But everyone was also curious, why did they increase the scale of the fleet this time? They even brought these two large transport Magic Ships that hadn’t been seen in a long time?

Could it be……the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would do something on the island this time?

The last time such a large fleet appeared, they were here to construct the harbour. Everyone couldn’t help becoming excited.

If it was like this, could it mean that there was a chance they would work for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce again and earn some money?

Thinking of this, the island residents became even more excited. Without waiting for the crew to disembark, they already charged forward.

If it wasn’t for the guards that had already come down that blocked them, they might have already charged onto the ship.

When everyone saw Leslie come down from the deck, they immediately cheered.

Leslie waved his hand to greet the island residents on the dock which got him a bigger response.

“Hei, these fellows really are innocent.” Leslie revealed a faint smile. He stepped onto the wharf and stepped to the side of a box the guards had prepared before jumping right onto it.

Seeing him act like this, the surrounding island residents became more excited.

When the Frestech Chamber of Commerce announced they would build the harbour and recruit workers from the island, it was this sir Leslie who had announced this from up above like this.

Now that he was doing the same thing, he must be announcing something again!

The island residents surged forward and completely surrounded Leslie.

Seeing these people gather, Leslie raised his hands and the noise around him quickly stopped as everyone focused on him.

“Everyone, I want to announce some good news. We’ve come this time to open a magic machine component processing factory on this island, as well as preparing to open a steel mill and a mine. So right now, we need to recruit around two thousand workers…..”

After hearing this, the crowd suddenly filled with shocked cries.

Two thousand workers?

God, this Heaven Island in total only had around twenty to thirty thousand people. The Frestech Chamber of Commerce was suddenly recruiting a tenth of that population!
