Chapter 1140 - Mission Completed

~Flip. Flip. Flip.

The sounds of pages flipping could be heard, as everyone opened the 3rd pinkish folder and turned to page 4 of the doc.u.ment within it.​​

And when the sounds died down, the meeting continued.

Everyone listened diligently while nodding and asking questions from time to time too.

Uther borrowed his brows deeply before turning to the other elders and royals too: "Since either will be just one main port for all travels, we need to find a location that isn't too jarring and just right."

Elder Mitsu combed his long white plaited beard in thought: "I propose we choose Luxporg. Its city is situated at the armpit of the empire and is somewhat further away from disaster. Plus, it's also closest to the Capital city too."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

"Yes! Luxporg is indeed the best option!"

"I second that. Its large terrain is also a plus, as it can take in many people all at once."

"Luxporg!"

"Luxporg!"

"Luxporg!"

(^_^)

Well, Luxporg was a hit, plus it was indeed closer to them, meaning their travel on land to the port wouldn't be that bad.

What a perfect location.

Landon smiled while Brian diligently took down the meeting minutes.

"Alright. Now that the port location has been chosen, next... We need to allocate an estate to the port too."

"Eh? Why? Isn't the open dock okay to just board?"

Everyone was a little confused.

Of course, they didn't understand anything like check-ins or booking.

Even when people wanted to board travelling sh.i.p.s, they gathered around the sh.i.p.s and squished their way in after paying the coins needed.

Unless they had their own sh.i.p.s, they would give the crewmates money to get aboard the vessel.

That's why none of them here understood Landon's intention... Well, only Lucia and the rest understood it all and began explaining alongside Landon.

Of course, on pages 4~10 of the doc.u.ment before them was a well-detailed explanation about the Port's functions too.

.

Everyone listened keenly, trying to envision the things they were told.

Of course, the front desk worker with a lovely smile in the pictures also aided them a bit.

In other words, the port worked well for check-ins and outs, storage, lost items, mails, and even keeping recyclables?

They admitted that they didn't understand it all now, but they did get the key concept behind the port and could only marvel at the organizational level behind its making.

Additionally, they would need to gather carriages, wagons and horses to serve as taxis, taking people around the city, town or village they choose to have the Port in.

There would also need to be constant cleaners, workers and even those who will assist in storage too.

The Zalipnians will work alongside the Baymardians who came for duty regularly.

Landon had already worked out how their shifts would be.

Just like air hostesses that fly around and are busy staying and travelling non-stop, well... Their jobs at the ports would be somewhat like that.

Firstly, the trip to and fro Zalipnia at the steady cruise speed should be at least 1 month and 3 weeks without any delays when using the shortest route.

With readers, they really could avoid all enemy sh.i.p.s and even massive sea creatures heading their way.

The journey should be a very smooth one.

.

Anyway, for the first 6 months, the Baymardian front Desk staff and other basic staff would be stationed here, always working alongside the Zalipnian trainees.

Yes.

They would allow Zalipnia to run several things within the won't without their help... Like cargo control, storage, transportation bookings and so on.

Of course, Check-ins would still be done mainly by the Zalipnians.

But a few hours before a ship departs, the check-in crew aboard the sh.i.p.s would enter the ports to go through things one last time.

In Pyno, every day, one would find about 2~ 3 sh.i.p.s leaving or entering several empires.

So in a day, 2 might come, and 3 might be leaving a single port.

That's how things were done there daily, making sea travel a breeze since it only took only a few days around the Pyno ports.

But in Zalipnia, things would have to slow down considerably.

"Everyone, page 11 shows the cruise schedules.

And on each of these days, there will be 2 sh.i.p.s heading out; one at 10:30 A.M, and the other at 2 P.M.

As for arrivals, it would be on Mondays and Fridays at 11 A.M and 3 P.M."

Lucia looked at the scheduling and understood.

The sh.i.p.s that arrived on Monday would be the same sh.i.p.s leaving on Tuesday.

So the crew that came on Monday would stay overnight and even have a lot of time to load items into the sh.i.p.s.

Bottom line, they had 2 days of departure and 2 days for arrival each week.

It really was good, especially for those who would be going to Baymard frequently.

After all, she did plan to send several of their chefs to the Culinary and Bartending Academy, as well as the Law firms, Arts & Beauty and even soldiers in training too.

In short, they would send some of their people to all public schools to learn.

.

Well, she had to hurry up and choose a few people to start learning now.

Another good thing was that Roma was a common language in Baymard.

So even if she sent people there, they would survive somehow.

Plus, there were books in Roma too.

And if it got bad, then they could hire translators for them as well.

Either way, she wanted them to use the next 3~4 months to start learning Pyron... they just need to be at the beginner level, and the rest would come easy, especially when left in a place where people spoke Pyron.

Those who pass the many written and oral tests at beginner or moderate level will be allowed to study in Baymard officially.

Of course, those selected as Soldiers would have to leave with Landon.

But the others going onto other academies would have to stay back.

Well, in an era where people's lives relied on knowledge, there were bound to be so many people who took this as seriously as if their lives depended on it.

Especially after hearing about Morgany, they realized just how big the world truly was. And to know the enemy is to defeat it.

So now, learning Pyron was vital and at the top of the list.

They learnt to survive out of instinct. Even just seeing Landon and the other Baymardians speak Roma made them dedicated to learning Pyron too.

People in these times absorbed things like a sponge.

Again, scholars were indeed one of the most respected people now.

And knowledge was what they respected too.

Wars and death were always around the corner.

So the more one knew, the greater the chances of survival.

Be it navigation, studying nature, and whatnot, they learnt to survive... and no language would keep them away from that.

Imagine if they didn't know anything, found themselves washed up ashore somewhere but couldn't understand anyone?

They might get tricked, robbed, r.a.p.ed, taken into slavery and die.

In these times, ignorance was truly a sin.

There was no excuse to have a chance of learning and slack off.

Even peasants learnt foreign languages just by listening in from time to time as well.

That's how a few of them had picked on and started learning and understanding what those Adonis followers were saying too.

This was the blessing underneath the sorrow that these medieval people had over modern ones.

Their instincts were sharpened to learn and survive.

.

Like so, Landon and the rest discussed for several more hours until the deed was finally one.
