It took a while to prepare the carriage, and everyone stood in front of the pier, looking at each other silently.

Wen Lin began to look at the boats on the river. Most of the merchant boats in sight were paddle boats, which could not only walk by wind, but also paddle by manpower.

The biggest advantage of the rowing boat is that it can travel at a faster speed in calm or weak winds, but it is a big burden for sailors or slaves who are responsible for rowing.

The Liberty is different from these ships. Wen Lin transformed it into a three-masted sailboat in the shipyard, equipped with a horizontal sail and a vertical sail. The horizontal sail can maximize the speed when the wind is down. During storms or strong headwinds, it can change directions more flexibly*1.

This is also an important reason why every time Wen Lin looted the Pope's ship, she was able to retreat completely.

Their bulky brig with cross-sails or only jigsaws couldn't keep up with the Liberty.

Wen Lin had carefully studied the development history of sailboats, and she had a lot of precise sailboat drawings in her mind. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she turned to look at Hanvers on the side,

"Mr Humphreys, do I need royal permission to open a shipyard?"

"No need," Humphus was very surprised that Wen Lin would ask this question, and he teased, "Your Excellency Wen Lin, do you want to open a boat shop?"

It's just a joke. Although the establishment of a shipyard does not require the permission of the royal family, it requires a lot of money in the early stage.

Humphreys didn't even think about Wen Lin's idea of ​​opening a shipyard.

With a faint smile, Wen Lin didn't answer, she just thought about it in her heart.

Now the maritime trade between countries is becoming more and more frequent, and strange continents similar to the Europa continent have begun to be discovered one after another.

But what is surprising is that the overall shipbuilding technology on the Europa continent does not seem to have been significantly innovated.

It seems that for this reason, it is difficult for ships on the Europa Road to support long-distance voyages, and the communication between the East and the West will be exceptionally rare and difficult.

According to the historical process, Wen Lin couldn't hide her curiosity, would there still be a country called Ming in the East?

In Wen Lin's impression, the Sistine is the country with the most powerful navy on the Europa continent, and the most advanced ship should be the Sistine's brig.

But it seems that their most advanced warship, compared with Liberty, still has a significant gap.

Maybe this will be a good business.

Just as she was going to the shipyard, Wen Lin suddenly became interested. She could take this opportunity to have a good understanding of the current shipbuilding process.

The attendant soon prepared two four-wheeled carriages, and the officer and Wen Lin were five people in total.

Humphreys and the rest of the officials went to the same carriage as a matter of course, and Ms. Courtesy was the kind of culture a gentleman should show at any time.

But Hanvers was stopped by Wen Lin at the last moment of getting in the car, "Lord Humphs, can I invite you to take a car with you?"

Looking at Wen Lin suspiciously, Humphreys clenched the hilt of his sword and confirmed, "Your Excellency Wen Lin wants to invite me to ride with you?"

Although Humphs never regarded Wen Lin as a delicate noble lady, and treated her with respect like a friend.

But no matter what, Wen Lin is a beautiful woman.

Golan custom, generally only lovers can ride together.

Wen Lin stood on the side with a smile and looked at Hanvers, seemingly unaware of the meaning of the invitation.

Even more coincidentally, although Humphs is in his late thirties, he has not yet been married.

He is considered to be a graceful and elegant uncle, and among the noble ladies in the capital, he has many admirers.

The expressions of the remaining officials suddenly became strange. They sat on the carriage, looked at each other, and then discussed in a very low voice.

"I'll just say why Lord Humphreys suddenly came looking for a woman,"

"Tsk, as expected, women are poisons, and even Humphreys, who has always been cautious, can't escape,"

Under the sighing laughter, there was even more contempt for Wen Lin. They closed the car window, as if Wen Lin was some kind of dirty thing, and looking at it more would sully their noble eyes.

Humphreys guessed that Wen Lin should not know Golan's customs, and when he was considering how to remind Wen Lin politely, Wen Lin had already got into the car.

In the end, Hanvers took the place of the driver and sat outside the carriage.

"Miss Wen Lin, in Golan, men and women cannot ride together at will,"

Leaning her head out of the carriage, Wen Lin looked at Hanvers' blushing face, feeling inexplicable, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry after realizing it.

Wen Lin hurriedly explained, "Lord Humphs, I just have some questions to ask you,"

Wen Lin was still not so at ease when the favored servant beside the queen was her coachman.

"Your Excellency Wen Lin, you can ask anything you want, as long as it doesn't touch the basic bottom line of my work," his attitude was still gentle,

The wheels rolled over the muddy pavement, kicking up clouds of dust.

Wen Lin shrank her head back and asked, "Mr. Humphreys, do you know a boatbuilder with very good skills?"

"I do know a wonderful shipbuilder, my friend Rhodod,"

Humphrey

Si still didn't expect Wen Lin to open a shipyard, he pondered for a moment and continued,

"Your Excellency Wen Lin, do you want to repurchase the ship? But the Queen will return the Liberty to you soon,"

The identity of the Wenlin pirate, Humphreys knew from the beginning, as for the purpose of Her Majesty Vicia tying her to Brunz, Humphreys can more or less guess.

Sooner or later, Wen Lin will still have to return to the sea. After all, there is no faster way to obtain wealth than directly robbing her.

But inexplicably, Hanvers couldn't have any disgust for Wen Lin. As a pirate, Wen Lin gave people a completely different feeling.

The brilliance in the black eyes was pure, and whenever Humphreys looked at her, it always felt as if he was looking at a sea of ​​vitality.

Even at some moments, Humphreys felt that Wen Lin's temperament was exactly the same as His Majesty Vicia.
