Chapter 289 Fishing
Chapter 289 Fishing
In the lake area, Ronnie and Sailan sat on a small stool and fished. Looking at the ripples on the lake caused by the breeze, Ronnie lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
At the side, Sailan pulled the fishing rod suddenly, lifted up a fish that was as long as an adult's forearm, and put it into the fish basket beside him.
After doing all this, Sailan cast the rod again.
Ronnie looked at the empty fish basket on his side, then looked at the almost full fish basket next to Sailan and fell silent.
Even though Ronnie had lost most of his emotions and only acted rationally, he still didn't understand why he was empty-handed, when everything was the same as with Sailan.
Not only that, Ronnie became even more silent when he saw Watson dive into the lake and swim ashore with a big fish in his arms.
"very energetic."
It took Ronnie a long time to squeeze out these words.
Hearing this, Sailan smiled.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."
Sailan looked at his son who was having fun playing in the lake and couldn't help but smile.
"Vason is indeed very energetic, but he just doesn't like to study. I thought about sending him to the military camp to let him experience some hardship."
As the first servant to follow Ronnie, Sailan respects Ronnie very much, even though Ronnie is just a fool, but he will not be overly restrained.
Not only that, Sailan works diligently and is simply the favorite subordinate of countless leaders.
Listening to Sailan's various complaints about his son, Ronnie nodded slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly without him even realizing it.
"Your Majesty, this fish is for you."
Looking at Watson who ran to him with the fish in his arms and smiled, Ronnie touched his head.
"Good boy."
Ronnie threw the fish into his fish basket quite rudely.
Looking at Ronnie's fish basket, Watson tilted his head.
"Your Majesty, you haven't caught any fish in such a long time. I'll get you some earthworms later. Fish love to eat these. I'm sure you'll be able to catch a big fish."
As he said this, Watson didn't even shake off the water on his body, and ran to a place with moist soil to start catching earthworms.
Watching Watson's series of actions and words, Sailan, as a father, felt a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, this child, Watson, is a little naughty, please don't mind."
Hearing this, Ronnie shook his head, indicating that he didn't take it to heart.
"It doesn't matter."
After saying that, Ronnie didn't even care about his own fishing and kept looking at Watson.
Perhaps it was because Watson and Owen were too similar, especially the youthful energy and outspokenness. Every time Ronnie looked at Watson, he felt that his figure was gradually overlapping with Owen.
It was really that Owen's incident was too much of a blow to Ronnie. Now, in Ronnie's eyes, as long as the lizardman did not make any principled mistakes, Ronnie would probably forgive him.
Don't accuse Ronnie of being partial or biased. Ronnie is not an emperor, and he doesn't need to treat everyone equally. It is his freedom to like whoever he likes.
Of course, the Lizardmen also deserve Ronnie's love. Not to mention anything else, under the leadership of Chief Sailan, the Lizardmen are almost becoming a model clan of disaster clans. As long as they can be used, they will rush to do various things, and they will definitely do a good job, but they get the least in daily benefits.
This is also the only bad thing about Sailan. He takes his work too seriously sometimes.
For this reason, Soros has advised him more than once, and even the leaders of other clans have advised him as well.
But Sailan has never changed his attitude that as long as Ronnie protects the Lizardmen and ensures they have enough food and clothing, the Lizardmen will do their best to serve the Disaster Clan.
I can only say that they are a group of very pure people.
Just then, Panglock came over with a human.
Seeing Ronnie was there, Ponlock was only briefly surprised and then he put on the cunning smile on his face.
"I didn't expect His Majesty to be here too."
When the human next to him heard Panglock calling Ronnie "Your Majesty", his mouth twitched, thinking that he couldn't be so unlucky.
This human was a cross-sea businessman. As the war in the East Continent intensified, there was a severe shortage of metals for making firearms on the battlefield. The Disaster Clan had access to the Sadira Mountains, a place rich in mineral resources, and had a large reserve of metals. Moreover, these metals were all already smelted and of high quality, so they could basically be used directly.
So this businessman wanted to come here to buy it and then resell it to the East Continent.
Sailan is the manager of the entire logistics and supplies of the Disaster Clan. Since the profit from reselling this time is extremely high, this businessman has approached Sailan many times, hoping to get a back door from Sailan and do him a favor.
Not to mention asking Sailan to sell it to him at a discount, but at least give him a gift so that Sailan will put this merchant's supply demand at the top of the list when approving it.
After all, the faster the speed, the more money he can make. After a long time, when the market is saturated, he will not be able to make any money at all.
However, every time, Sailan always had a rigid attitude of doing things in a businesslike manner. No matter whether the businessmen gave him money directly or various gifts, Sailan refused them all. This gave him a headache.
With no other choice, the merchant found Ponlock through various connections, and for this, he gave Ponlock a lot of money.
Originally, the merchants were very confident about this operation with Ponlock's guarantee, but they did not expect that the king of the disaster clan was also there. Anyone with a normal mind would not accept gifts in front of the king, and would refuse them righteously to show their attitude, and kick those who dared to send gifts out of the supply list.
After all, in human countries, there are no subordinates who like to embezzle. After all, as long as you dare to accept gifts and do such things, you are directly embezzling the country's money. This kind of thing must never set a precedent.
Just when the businessman thought that Panglock would not say anything after meeting Ronnie, Panglock came directly to Sailan and told him the whole story.
Now the businessman felt that the whole world was gloomy. He had invested all his fortune and was counting on this business to get rich, but now everything was over.
Ponlock took out a small stool from his space equipment and sat down on it.
"Saelan, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but there's nothing wrong with getting paid for a job."
When Pangluo said this, he didn't pay any attention to Ronnie who was standing beside him, because he knew that Ronnie didn't care about it at all.
As long as it does not affect the development of the disaster clan, the leaders of each clan can accept money to do things.
And it's not just Ronnie who doesn't care, even Soros acquiesces to this.
Therefore, Ponlock said these things in front of Ronnie without any scruples.
However, after hearing what Panglock said, Sailan just rolled his eyes and ignored it.
"Forget about accepting gifts. If he wants to buy those metals, he can just wait until it's his turn."
"Hey, why are you so stubborn?"
Ponlock felt a little disappointed.
"Anyway, it won't affect the Disaster Clan. If someone gives you a gift, you can move up the list. The gifts you receive can also help you develop the Lizardman Clan. It's a win-win situation for all three parties. Why don't you do it?"
"I'm different from you. I'm not a profiteer, and the lizardmen don't need those things."
