"Ed, we may not be able to get over," Luo Hao's voice came through the communication crystal, "Where exactly have you arrived? It's full of turbulence and shear wind belts. The Seven Seas Traveler can't get through at all, and it's also cloudy and foggy. It’s so winding that I can’t see what’s underneath.”
Fang Plover stood on the sloping deck and looked up at the surrounding cliffs.
"What direction is the Seven Seas Traveler now?" He then asked.
"South of the place you mentioned." Luo Hao replied.
"Can you see a long and narrow empty gorge?"
There was the sound of movement on the other side of the communication crystal. After a while, the human voice came again, "Ed, yes."
"Put the Seven Seas Traveler in that direction and send a small boat down."
There are two small boats on the Seven Seas Traveler, hung on the side of the ship with small davits. Although in terms of size, they are nothing more than a sampan.
This kind of small boat used in the air and sea is also equipped with a wind element generator, but it has no power source and needs to be recharged by a large ship. The magic storage crystal on the ship can be used for seven or eight hours once it is fully charged.
Luo Hao looked a little surprised. Why, did he find a lot of things? ""
"Well, there's a lot of stuff." Fang Plover was silent and nodded.
In addition to the inheritance, they then explored the entire ship and searched the magic engine room, material storage and bottom warehouse according to the pre-determined plan.
This is a battleship. The structure of a battleship is often relatively simple. From the first deck down there is a straight-through artillery deck and a sailor cabin.
Some functional cabins, such as the dining room, medical room, and training room, are no longer what they used to be. They are covered with dust and cobwebs. The things in the cabin are either rotten and falling apart, or they were piled together when the sailboat crashed.
There may be some useful things in these ruins, but it is difficult and time-consuming to identify them, and they are of little value.
The owner of the ship is an alchemist, so there should be an alchemy laboratory on the ship, and they did find that place. The alchemy laboratory was on the bow side of the ship, but that place was most completely destroyed in the impact, leaving nothing of value behind.
Similar to this, there is the anchor chamber. Fang Plover originally thought that the anchor stone could be recovered, but the anchor chamber completely disappeared in the impact, and the pair of anchors were also missing.
But it was not all without gain. At least a few people found the spare anchor cabin near the bow of the ship, and found half of the anchor stone stored there. It's half a piece, but it's larger than the two anchors used by the Seven Seas Traveler combined.
This half of the anchor stone is naturally valuable, but Fang Plover does not intend to sell it. Firstly, the Seven Seas Traveler does not have a spare, and secondly, if he wants to build a larger ship in the future, he will also need the anchor stone.
Of course, the most important thing needs to be repeated twice. The Seven Seas Troupe is currently not short of money.
There are rare times when Fang Plover is rich and powerful.
The material warehouse is just below the anchor warehouse. As expected by Fang Plover, a large amount of ship planks are stored here. These are naturally not ordinary ship materials, but magic black wood, and there are actually some sacred white oaks from the Giant Tree Hill. I don’t know how these pirates got it - this is the best material for making ship’s bow statues. But Fang Yu didn't know if Miss Elf would have any objections to this.
The Holy White Oak is the sacred tree of Amea, and the Forest Temple strictly prohibits illegal logging. These pirates were able to obtain these Holy White Oaks, obviously not through any legal means.
In addition, there are a lot of mithril and a small amount of fine gold in the resource library, as well as some rare metals, such as star gold and windweaving thread. The former is a very rare alchemical material, and the latter is used to make sails. of.
However, the Seven Seas Traveler has an unlimited supply of silver mane spider silk, so this kind of thing can be sold, and it is considered valuable.
After passing through the material warehouse, the ship's magic engine room was in the center of the lower level. That place was also severely damaged in the impact, and the only thing that could be recovered was the core crystal.
They also found the wind element detector, but it was completely destroyed and couldn't even be recovered.
There is no way, these magic instruments are precision instruments on the ship. Precision instruments are so expensive and delicate.
The lower cabin of the ship has been completely immersed in clouds and mist. In fact, it can be regarded as under the sea of clouds.
Therefore, this area is the most severely invaded by organisms. The strong wind element has eroded the ship's planks, and elemental moss, Kukai anemones, corals and Kukai algae grow in the aisles.
There are also some strange coelenterates - unlike their terrestrial cousins, these creatures are made of a single element, most are almost weightless, glow, and can even float in the air to filter pollutants in the air. The elements live.
Here, several people encountered their second battle since the captain's room. Their opponent was a jellyfish, which had strong combat power and could also poison. The few people took it down carefully and took a lot of effort.
After defeating the jellyfish, Fang Plover discovered that there was a hole in the bottom of the warehouse, which is where the big guy probably got in.
However, this discovery made him feel that the harvest below was unlucky, and the facts proved so. Part of the cargo in the bottom warehouse rolled into the abyss from the opening, and part of it was already unusable after being eroded by the wind element.
It took them a lot of time to rescue some supplies from inside, mainly the spare armaments on the big ship.
Includes three cannons, corresponding shells and energy storage crystals. There are also several boxes of armor and swords. These imperial equipment are almost certainly dirty and can only be sold on the black market.
The most valuable discovery is probably a magic ring. Fang Plover tested it and found that it can accelerate the gathering of ether - in short, it increases the casting speed and restores a small amount of magic power.
The ring's name in the system is the Ring of Ruorian, and almost all casters in its team can use it. However, Luo Yu and Xiang agreed to give the ring to Jita.
The reason is that the scholar needs magic recovery more, and of course there is a more important reason for the box - he doesn't bother to grab things with a little girl.
What's more, he has already gained something during this trip, that is, he found the sword in the captain's cabin.
And the sword owned by the ship owner actually had a lot of history. It was the famous Imperial Glory Type II. It was a famous sword produced in the Imperial Workshop. Due to cost reasons, only one hundred and twenty swords were produced in total. Later, all the swords were produced. It's a simplified fake.
But the one in the box's hand is a genuine one. In addition to the quickness, sharpness and other abilities that most magic rapiers should have, the most important ability of the Imperial Glory II is to absorb magic, deploy shields and store magic. It also comes with a flash spell.
Absorbing magic power, as the name suggests, means that it has a magic-draining effect when attacking. Imperial Glory Type II will store this magic power and release it when the holder needs it, forming a magic shield.
This ability is just right for the box. A big problem with melee spellcasting is that it is easy to be interrupted and cause the spell to fail, so he has to choose some spells with short spells to fight.
However, spells with short spells are either too weak or of low level and can only play a supporting role in combat.
With this shield protection, he can calmly cast spells that take longer to prepare, which undoubtedly increases his tactical flexibility.
In addition to the magic shield, Imperial Glory II can also store spells - although many rapiers have the ability to store spells, this sword can use the absorbed magic power to cast spells, which is very impressive.
As for the included flash technique, it cools down in one minute, which is a bonus, but it is also the reason why this sword got its name. It is an ability inherited from the first generation.
This is a relatively rare magical magic sword, but considering the identity of the ship owner, it is not surprising that he would use such a sword.
It's just that the Imperial Glory II was discontinued twenty-four years ago, and the real one is now worth 2.2 million Lisels. Although it has collectible value, it's also staggering.
After receiving the sword, Box immediately became the most valuable person on the Seven Seas Traveler.
But what is even more intriguing is that the ship owner, as a pirate, was able to obtain this sword. I am afraid the origin is not that simple.
Even if he robbed it, how could the person who might have obtained the sword not have wealth and strength? Being able to seize the sword from such a person speaks volumes in itself.
Not long ago, Tang Xin told him another thing. The secret room on the ship was obviously not added later, but existed from the very beginning of the design.
This means that this five-masted ship was not stolen by the pirate leader, but built by him.
Being able to snatch such a ship may be due to various factors of chance, but if one wants to build such a ship, it cannot only be done with a little financial resources.
Fang Yu built the Seven Seas Traveler by himself, and also received the full help of Princess Istania. Naturally, he understood how much manpower, material and human resources this was.
He looked at the surrounding mountain walls, and Luo Hao's previous words also gave him an idea.
The revenge mentioned by the ship owner, he may have been chased to this place by his enemies. With no way out, he rushed into the turbulence here without hesitation, and then crashed in this place together with his ship.
But does he know that this is a dead zone?
Judging from the fact that the other party mentioned that he had known about it for a long time, he might have known about it.
But what makes people a little confused is who are those who are chasing him and why are they chasing him? If it was for the secrets on this ship, then why didn't they enter this place?
There are still many doubts, especially the other party's inexplicable legacy - asking people to help revenge, but not naming the target of revenge.
Fortunately, Fang Plover didn't care too much.
He has no intention of being the heir of a pirate. As for these things - they are his trophies, and he will take them regardless of the other party's permission.
As for the black alloy key, he took it away after thinking about it. He hasn't figured out the secrets of those constructs yet, but the alchemy formula makes him a little concerned. He can't come back to get the key after discovering some secrets in the future, right?
If it fell into the hands of anyone else, he wouldn't be able to cry.
Although he also had a premonition that there might be something fishy about the treasure house left by the ship owner, but no matter whether he decided to go to that place or not, it would never be wrong to take the key first.
The Seven Seas Traveler arrived not long after, the boat was lowered, and Luo Hao and the others quickly found the entrance to the Arrow-tailed Buzzard's nest.
But how to transport the things on the big ship is a huge problem.
It's okay to say that things like structures and ship materials are just a waste of time and need to be transported several times.
But the core crystal recovered from the magic cabin caused Fang Plover to face a problem.
In short, this thing is huge, five meters long, two meters wide at its thickest point, and weighing over a ton.
And the key is, there is more than one. A ship of this level has a total of five magic engines. Even if three of them were damaged, two crystals were recovered.
Just to get this thing from the bottom of the ship to the deck, they had to cut a big hole in the big ship all the way to the upper deck.
Thanks to the strength of the big cat man, Luo Hao, and Miss Siesta from another world, the three of them plus a set of strength buffs were able to pull them up from below.
There is actually a wooden crane on the big ship, but the shaky appearance makes people doubt that it will fall down at any time, let alone bear the load.
Then Baggins used a method of transporting logs to send the core crystal into the cave, but when passing through the narrowest section of the Arrow-tailed Buzzard's nest, the real trouble came - the core crystal of the big ship could not pass at all.
They tried every means, but all ended in failure. In the end, I had to choose the stupidest method - digging a cave.
This was obviously not a one- or two-day project, so the Seven Seas Traveler anchored nearby.
After all, no one wants to give up these two core crystals and resell them. Even if they are damaged, it will be enough to double the assets of the Seven Seas Brigade.
Not long after, Alyssa and Parker on the other side also sent back good news - they had discovered the water source.
A river flows into the gorge to the north here, forming a waterfall.
This news eliminated everyone's last doubts.
With clean water, the Seven Seas Traveler can stay nearby for a long time.
…
The night is already deep.
But there were still lights and sounds of conversation on the deck.
Fang Yu pulled up the eyepiece and rubbed his eyes.
Others should be transporting the supplies on the big ship back to the Seven Seas Traveler in an orderly manner, and there is still about a day or two before the cave is opened.
During the period before the cave was opened, everyone was not idle. They simply started to dismantle the big ship. They removed the keel and ribs, the strongest ship materials that could still be used, and recovered a batch of magic black wood. with precious metals.
All in all, the Seven Seas Traveler will not need to replenish any materials for a while, and may even be able to sell some of it.
In addition, most of the materials recovered on the ship were stored in the bottom warehouse, barely filling half of the bottom warehouse.
Regarding the holy white oak trees, he also discussed with Miss Attila. Although the elf lady was quite disdainful of the pirates stealing the holy trees, she also agreed to their use of these woods.
But she flatly rejected Parker's suggestion to resell the wood.
Holy white oak is the best material for the magic ship's bow statue, and because it is rarely exported, it is indeed very valuable in the market.
But Miss Elf's meaning is very simple. They can use it themselves, but they cannot resell it.
Fang Yu didn't mind. He had no idea about money now - or he never had any idea - except for the time when he was so poor that his eyes were filled with stars.
He just thought that although the Seven Seas Traveler already had a bow statue - a magical sea dragon statue, it was said to have the magical ability to improve luck, but only God knew its specific function.
Because this thing is so common, almost every merchant ship will have one. The saying that everyone in Kukai is lucky is probably because of this.
He didn't dare to think about those famous legendary ship bow statues, such as the Twin Goddess, the Holy White Dragon, and the Wrath of the Poseidon. But now that he had so much holy white oak on hand, he could use it to make a B- or B+-rated ship bow statue. It shouldn't be difficult, right?
As for Parker, he seemed a little unhappy after his proposal was rejected.
But Fang Yu suspected that this guy was like this because he missed the treasure hunt.
Although the treasure hunt was indeed amazing, even he didn't expect the harvest to be so great.
They went through all kinds of hardships in Istania to earn that money. It was thanks to Count Nurman that he didn't pursue the matter afterwards, but it also made them feel very guilty for a time.
Unexpectedly, just two days after going to sea, my assets more than doubled out of thin air. This kind of windfall feels really good.
Of course, Fang Yu also understands that such opportunities are rare.
The sky and the sea are filled with gold, which is just a dream of sailors.
Baggins and the others installed a cannon they found from a large ship on the Seven Seas Traveler - the vacant gun mount at the stern of the ship.
The magic artillery was almost an antique from twenty years ago, and of course it was not as good as the cutting-edge artillery flown from Kaolin that the eldest princess had promised them.
But at least it's better than the Nanami Traveler running naked above Kukai with a ballista, right?
Fang Yu now thought of the cutting-edge artillery, and his heart was filled with tears. The debt was settled on the prime minister's head.
Miss Attila has completed the thermostatic magic array in the past few days and has temporarily raised three Arrow-tailed Buzzard chicks in that place.
This made the three little girls Tianlan, Ai Xiaoxiaohe and Jita run to the greenhouse every day to watch.
Especially Miss Naturalist, her heart melted looking at these furry little things.
Under the leadership of Tian Lan, the three of them divided up the young Arrow-tailed Buzzard birds one at a time, without asking their leader's opinion at all.
Only Ai Xiaoxiao pretended to be reserved, "Would you like to ask Cousin Ed for his opinion?"
"Ai Xiaoxiao, go and say hello." Tian Lan said.
Ai Xiaoxiao made a decision immediately, "I have already asked the group leader for his opinion."
So everyone has asked, and Tianlan thinks so anyway.
However, these chicks are still in the domestication stage and are very familiar with their babies. Although they have finished carving them up, they still won't be able to take them away for a while.
Miss Attila built a shed on the bow of the ship, planning to use the originally designated breeding area after these arrow-tailed buzzards grow up.
Naturally, Fang Pultru did not participate in these matters.
After returning from the big ship, he was so sleepy that he fell asleep on the Seven Seas Traveler and slept all day long.
Secondly, he also has his own things to be busy with.
The first is the current work, which is to complete the beta state of a crystal. In fact, after receiving the materials sent from Karatu, this work has come to an end.
Right now, he just needs to complete his next magic furnace, and there isn't much work left.
Another thing is to continue studying those constructs and the alchemical formula.
However, there was almost no progress in the former. He asked Miss Tata and Nini to try to control the construct, but neither succeeded.
Miss Tata was almost the same as him, showing no reaction.
Nini was bounced off the construct and almost stunned.
When he came back to his senses, the little girl lay buried in his chest and cried for a long time, causing half the people on the boat to come over and take a look.
I almost thought their captain was abusing child laborers.
In the end, Alyssa angrily took Nini away who was crying and gave him a pair of supercilious looks.
Fang Plover was left speechless.
However, he did gain something from his research on alchemical formulas.
…
