"..our trading post in the land of Zhi, where we will explore the realm of the eastern empire." Emanuel would respond.
"Of course, Zhi. The Emperor has given us his blessing to help him find treasures of the ancient dynasties there, hasn't he? Looks like he chose well. It goes without saying we'll get some of these ancient treasures for ourselves! Very well, let's prepare what we can while the crew arrives."
Emilio and Emanuel would take turns doing the menial tasks that all sailors and aspiring captains would do. Their crew was slow to arrive, but they weren't spending time slacking, aside from some grabbing a pint to go. In a few hours, as Emilio said earlier, the Bacalhau Salgado was ready to travel. A crowd of peasants, some nobles, and sailors would gather around the ship as it departed. Dom Vasco, sadly, was not among them, as he was with the king. Excited, the Remanza brothers and some of the crew would wave back at the locals, for they were off to find glory in the name of Novoforte!
