Before coming to Ma Tau Bay, Leo already knew a lot about the Governor of Ma Tau Bay from the sailors of the Speargun. Although the original builder of Ma Tau Bay was not this Governor, the current governor of Ma Tau Bay

But everything was built by this governor.

After the initial discovery of Ma Tau Bay, an excellent deep-water port, the Kingdom of Lute sent people to build settlements and ports. However, during the construction process, they encountered several attacks from indigenous tribes and jungle beasts, and the construction progress was almost zero.

It was not until the arrival of this governor that the construction of Ma Tau Bay officially began, and it is still being expanded and built to this day.

The name of this governor is Vere Rusman. I heard from sailors that the Rusman family, where he belongs, is a great aristocrat of the Lute Kingdom. There are two counts and four barons in the family. Even if Governor Vere does not come to Ma Tou Bay to be the governor,

, he would still have a good future if he stayed in the Lute Kingdom, but after learning about the situation in Ma Tau Bay, he voluntarily gave up his position in the kingdom and applied to be the governor here.

After becoming the governor, he did not immediately build the port like the previous builders. Instead, he directly built a temporary military camp, began to mobilize troops on a large scale, and formed an army of 5,000 people in a short period of time.

Artillery pieces, which were very rare at the time, were also obtained from the kingdom.

In the next three months, he led an army of 5,000 people to sweep through the jungle near Ma Tau Bay. Whether they were indigenous tribes or jungle beasts, they would kill them without mercy whenever they saw them. Eventually, the jungle around Ma Tau Bay was completely destroyed.

Be cleaned up.

After clearing up the foreign troubles, Governor Weir began to calmly and formally build the various facilities needed for the dock. He started with the city walls and forts, then the docks and other facilities, and gradually improved them.

Because of this, Governor Weir's prestige in Ma Tau Bay is supreme. Even the king may not be able to match it. Moreover, his power is also unique. He not only controls the political power of Ma Tau Bay, but also controls the military power.

.

However, no one thinks that he will stand on his own, because he does not have a ship or a naval fleet under his command. The navy at the port is the Royal Navy and does not obey his orders. Once he stands on his own and loses sea support, then Ma Tou will

The bay's daily supplies cannot keep up. In the end, even if the kingdom does not attack Ma Tau Bay, the interior of Ma Tau Bay will fight among itself due to the shortage of food and other resources.

In the eyes of the people in Ma Tau Bay, Governor Weir is a very eccentric person. He doesn't like to manage things, and prefers to distribute things to the people below to complete, so he established many departments in Ma Tau Bay to assist him in management.

From the police station to the warehouse management office, they were all newly built according to his ideas. There is no such department in the Kingdom of Root. In addition, he also likes to set rules for any newly established department.

Each country has its own set of laws and regulations, and the entire Ma Tau Bay also has its own set of laws and regulations that are different from the laws of the Kingdom.

For those who make a living in Ma Tau Wan, as long as they do not violate the laws and regulations set by Governor Weir, they will live a very easy life. However, if they violate the laws, they must accept the corresponding penalties, and those who do not want to accept the

Punishment, and those who try to avoid punishment by escaping or other means will be sentenced to more cruel punishments.

For example, a young noble from the kingdom was once sent to Ma Tau Bay to serve. Of course, this was only to give the young noble some experience and increase his reputation. It would not take long before he would be transferred back to the kingdom.

However, this young nobleman is a restless guy. Not only did he bring his behavior in the kingdom, but he also let himself go freely because he was far away from home, and amplified various behaviors to the extreme. Not only

He caused trouble in the port and even captured a female resident and brought him back to his residence for humiliation. As a result, Governor Weir arrested him directly and, in accordance with the regulations, had to castrate him and hand him over to the female resident as a slave.

Things that could be settled with just a small amount of money in the kingdom, here had to be castrated and demoted to slaves. Naturally, the young noble was unwilling to accept the punishment, so he bribed the people from the security station that night, and then spent the night

Escaped on a ship returning to the kingdom's mainland.

Although the young nobleman escaped, Governor Weir did not give up. Not only did he find out the bribed people from the police station and hang them in public on the pier square, he also selected the strongest among his men.

The soldiers formed the most elite pursuit team and rushed back to the kingdom to capture the young noble and the captain of the kingdom's warship who took the noble away.

After capturing the two men, he directly burned the captain into a mummy, and then sent someone to send the mummy back to the hall of the Kingdom's Navy headquarters with great fanfare. In addition, he also sent a letter to the young noble's parents to let them know.

They came to Ma Tau Wan to watch the execution of the young nobleman.

As a result, the young noble's parents brought a pardon from the king and tried to save their son, but Governor Weir took off his pants in front of everyone, defecated on the viewing platform of the dock square, and then used

The amnesty order wiped his butt and threw it on the stool he had just pulled out. Then he directly ordered a sharp wooden pole to be inserted from the bottom of the young noble's body, and then added to the square, leaving him struggling in pain.

He died after four or five days.

At this point, Governor Weir has gained absolute respect and fear in Ma Tau Bay. At the same time, he has also gained a very bad reputation in the Root Kingdom. If Ma Tau Bay is not still under construction, once the replacement is made, it will definitely affect Ma Tau.

Due to the progress of the construction of the bay, perhaps Governor Weir has been recalled by the kingdom.

While Leo was sizing up Governor Weir and recalling relevant information in his mind, Governor Weir and several administrative officials from Ma Head Bay around him were also sizing up Leo.

The moment Leo landed ashore, they had already learned about Leo from the captain of the Speargun. Although Leo claimed to be an oceanographer, he did not seem to be of much use to the construction of Ma Tau Bay, but in the near future

Ma Tau Bay will inevitably build its own fleet or even fleet, and then Leo, a marine scholar, will come in handy.

So when they learned about the plague in the cells of the public security station, Governor Weir and his officials were discussing how to place Leo so as not to cause trouble.

They got wrong information from the captain of the Speargun, and they also regarded Leo as the research assistant of Professor Ferrans, a famous scholar in the Kingdom of Berent, and they also knew that Professor Ferrans was in the academic circles of the Kingdom of Berent.

status, now that Professor Ferrance has died in the attack, and only Leo is left, the Behrend Kingdom will definitely try every means to trace this matter, so they need to hide Leo tightly.

, don’t let any news leak out.

However, before they could reach a conclusion, Leo gave them a big surprise. There was a possibility of a plague outbreak in Ma Tou Bay.

This undoubtedly frightened them. Fortunately, Governor Weir quickly calmed down and ordered the prison cell area of ​​the police station to be sealed off in accordance with the kingdom's most stringent plague treatment methods. He also called in some of the best doctors in the city to work together.

Investigate what kind of plague it is so that we can find a solution as soon as possible.

However, after some investigation, they got an unexpected result. There was not a plague in the cell, but some kind of curse and parasitism. The person who came to this conclusion turned out to be the oceanographic scholar Lei Lei they were talking about just now.

Europe.

Afterwards, he learned from his subordinates that Leo seemed to be not only an oceanographer, but also a biological researcher in the New World. Thinking of Professor Ferrance's academic achievements, they had no doubts about this statement, but they wanted to learn from Lei.

Ou Kou confirmed whether the person in the cell was a plague. If not, what was it? As for curses, they didn't take it to heart. In their opinion, there was no such thing as a curse in the world. Curses were just some

It's just the imagination of stupid country people, but they are very interested in the idea of ​​parasitism, because when the New World was opened, some people would have some strange things growing on their bodies, and some people seemed to call that kind of thing parasitism.

"I am Governor Will Russman." After Governor Weir looked at Leo, he took the initiative to reach out to Leo and said.

"Leo Dodd, a scholar." Leo replied.

Governor Weir seemed to have heard the accent imitated by Leo, and asked: "The accent of the Minlock Mountains, are you from the Minlock Mountains?"

"No." Leo shook his head directly. He learned this accent from a captive naval officer on the ship. He knew nothing about the so-called Minlock Mountains. If he admitted that he was from the Minlock Mountains, the other party would

If you ask about the Minlock Mountains again, you will be cheating.

Hearing that Leo denied his guess, Governor Weir couldn't help but be stunned, but he had no intention of continuing to ask questions. Instead, he briefly introduced the other officials around him, then went straight to the topic and asked: "

You were the one who discovered the abnormality in the prisoner, and you were also the first to check the prisoner's physical condition. Why are you so sure that it is some kind of parasite, rather than some kind of plague?"

Leo explained: "It's very simple. The doctors who examined the prisoners before should have shown you the worms extracted from the pustules on the prisoners' backs, right? Those are parasites."

"Do you know how the prisoner got infected?" an official asked quickly.

Leo looked at the official and remembered that when Governor Weir just introduced him, he said that this official was responsible for the urban construction planning inside and outside Ma Tau Bay, which means that entering the jungle to cut wood was also under his management. This time the logger disappeared all at once.

There are dozens of them, and they are all skilled workers. Coupled with the management team of the forest farm, this is undoubtedly a major loss and has seriously affected the construction of the outer urban area of ​​​​Matou Bay. Therefore, he is also concerned about the matter of the logger Daman.

He was particularly interested, and seemed to want to find clues about the missing lumberjack from Daman, as well as some information about the forest farm.

Leo easily guessed what the other party was thinking, and said bluntly: "Your Excellency, you want to know for sure whether the prisoner was parasitized by this kind of insect in the forest farm, right?"

The official did not deny it. He nodded very frankly and said: "Rumors are spreading everywhere now. Even if I offer three times the salary, I still can't hire a logger to enter the forest farm."

"You should be more worried about the people who kidnapped the loggers and forest farm workers, rather than worrying about whether there are parasites in the forest farm." Leo glanced at the other party and said: "But I can make you feel a little more at ease now, that prisoner

The parasites on my body did not come from the forest farm.”

When the official heard this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the others to indicate that he had no problem.

Governor Weir took over the topic of inquiry and asked: "Since the parasite was not contracted in the forest farm, then where was it?"

"In the outlying towns." Leo gave an answer that panicked everyone, but before everyone could write the panic in their hearts on their faces, he added: "For the first time that night,

When we encountered the monster that sneaked into the town and attacked people."

After hearing Leo's words, everyone's panic calmed down a little. Governor Weir seemed to have thought of something from Leo's answer and asked again: "You mean the parasite was transmitted to him by that monster?"

Leo nodded and added: "No, you made a mistake. It was not only infected to him, but also to the patrol soldiers who saw the monster at that time."

"What? Others are also infected?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Governor Weir immediately wanted to give an order to find the patrol soldiers and temporarily imprison them.

Before Governor Weir gave the order, Leo added: "However, you don't have to worry, they were infected, but they were not successfully infected. Only the woodcutter from Daman was successfully infected."

Everyone couldn't help but frowned, and one official asked: "How do you know that other people have not been successfully infected?"

"It's very simple, the monster told me." Leo responded, but no one understood it, so he continued to explain: "If you have heard the lumberjack Daman describe how he was attacked by a monster, you will

You should be able to feel that the monster is very weird. After it appeared, it attacked everyone, and then it did not immediately continue to attack those who had lost resistance. Instead, it stopped next to everyone, and finally stopped next to the lumberjack Daman.

It held on for the longest time, so long that even the lumberjack Daman himself thought he would be killed. In the end, it let Daman go and instead killed another person and took him away."

Governor Weir quickly made a guess and said in a deep voice: "Listening to what you said, it seems that the monster has wisdom."

Leo corrected: "No, it's not that the monster is intelligent, but the person who controls the monster is intelligent."

"Control the monster?" Everyone showed shocked expressions again, looking at Leo as if they were looking at a fool.

There is an unwritten common sense in the New World, that is, the beasts in the New World may be tamed, but the monsters absolutely cannot. Not only the people from Novat Continent cannot tame those monsters, but even the indigenous people who have lived there for countless years can't.

It cannot be tamed. In the past few years, people in the colonies have seen monsters attacking local indigenous people countless times. It seems that in the eyes of monsters, both local indigenous people and the colonists of Novat Continent need to be killed.
