Shopping

The next morning, the group gathered in front of the dock, and they saw that layers of wooden shelves had been erected around the dragon whale, and several boatmen were working on it. Naturally, this shelf was erected overnight by Hook's boatmen, and now since the 'meat' of the corpse has not been disposed of, only some preliminary work can be carried out.

Bandaka was also studying the dragon whale at the dock early on, and apart from his sloppy appearance, he couldn't tell that he was still a self-bound prisoner before. He was crawling on the ground of the dock at this time, holding a pen in his hand, and the ground was covered with layers of white paper, all of which were painted with various patterns, and when he looked closely, he found that it was an inscription array with the skeleton of the dragon whale and the corresponding structure, obviously he was studying the skeleton structure of the dragon whale. Darko and the others are familiar with this state of work, and there are also some scholars and mages in the Academy of Magic, who don't bother when they see this.

George and all the necromancers of the entire family gathered around the dragon whale and assigned the work content, their job was very simple, that is, to constantly use the blood 'flesh' peel to remove the 'flesh' from the dragon whale's corpse. Every necromancer meditates until his mana runs out, and the next group of necromancers continues to work, and George is counting the time to meditate and cast spells to distribute the work. He divided all the necromancers into five groups, and after the first group had finished meditating and returning to the demons, the fifth group had just finished casting the spell. This not only saves time, but also avoids the problem of too many people casting spells on the same area repeatedly.

Phyllis said hello to George, and Darko, Otto, Kevin, and Aciba were called, and the five of them went together to buy other items needed on the ship. After all, Hook was only responsible for building ships, and everything else needed to be bought by Phyllis herself. Now the magic circle has Bandaka to solve it, but they still need to buy the ship's head, food, fresh water, etc. And the most important thing is the alchemy weapons used on the ship, the sea is different from the land, on the rocking ship, even the most 'fine' archers with long-range attacks will be greatly reduced. Therefore, high-powered alchemy weapons are indispensable, and alchemy weapons such as crossbows, trebuchets, and artillery, which can only be used when defending the city, have become valuable in naval battles.

Dakko and a few others first walked towards the alchemy workshops in the town, the alchemy workshops in each town belong to the branches under the jurisdiction of the Alchemy Guild, usually some simple alchemy items are sold in the alchemy workshop, but Phyllis and the others have entered the alchemy guild's collection hall, of course, they don't look down on those cheap goods, they are to buy the alchemy weapons and bow statues needed on the ship. The bow of the ship is like an enchanted magic item, which is a special alchemy item. As long as there are docks, alchemy workshops sell alchemy items used on these ships.

Soon they arrived at the alchemy workshop in the center of the town, which was also one of the largest on Qom Island. The appearance of this alchemy workshop caught the eyes of Darko and the others, it was a three-story metal building, and it even emitted an enchanted light. The entire third floor is in the shape of a huge skull, and the first and second floors are the extended 'breast' bones, and a circle of ribs encloses the interior space of the small building.

Darko and Phyllis both stared at the skeleton for a moment before entering it, most of the building was for the sale of finished alchemy, and there were also a small number of raw materials. Seeing the frequent flow of people in and out of the workshop, they found that these subordinate branches were not affected by the events of some time ago, and they were all secretly relieved.

"Do you have anything you need?" Soon a goblin, less than one meter two, greeted him, smiling all over his wrinkled face. Phyllis, these special customers, are often identified by people with intentions, and they are all used to it, but the person in charge of this alchemy workshop is a 'goblin', which is a bit unexpected to them. The 'elves' are a relatively rare race, and they are rarer than the dwarves, 'elves' spirits and beasts in the Amesia plane, but because they have certain alchemy skills, most of them are concentrated in the alchemy guild, and there was a 'elf' jeweler in Arroyo's team at the beginning.

Phyllis and the others were well-informed, but after two more glances, they were no longer interested in the goblin. Phyllis first looked around at the alchemy items around, and found that the best alchemy items here were only excellent grades, so she lost her interest in Taobao and said directly to the earth 'spirit', "Let's buy the alchemy props that can be used on the ship, do you have any recommendations." ”

This goblin is obviously also very good at observing words and 'colors', and when she saw the five rings on Phyllis's hands, she knew that she didn't look down on other alchemy items here, so she didn't recommend or introduce anything, and directly guided Phyllis and the others to the third floor.

The third floor is the inside of the huge skull, during which there are various alchemical weapons used on the ship, including magic crossbow machines, small trebuchets, cannons and other large equipment, as well as ordinary props used in gangside battles such as lanyards, rope ladders, and gangways.

Phyllis and the others were dazzled, but Kevin was the first to calculate the required quantity and report it to Phyllis, "According to the ships we are going to use, as well as the 6 seafaring ships we bought before, a total of 116 'guns', 15 trebuchets, and 45 crossbows are needed. Although we didn't plan to fight the broadside, we had to prepare some necessary props, padlocks, rope ladders and gangways, which cost about 20 per boat, and I looked at it, and the price was about the same as the blacksmith's shop, so it was better to buy them together here. ”

The goblin observed the words and looks, and also approached Phyllis and added earnestly, "50 shells are distributed for each 'gun', but the shells themselves are cheap, so if you are preparing for a long voyage, it is better to have more of them." ”

"No need, that kind of iron ball-like cannonball is not as powerful as magic in terms of power and 'range', and those 'chicken' rib weapons are based on this number. Phyllis pointed to the trebuchet, which took up a lot of space in the room, and said, "But this small trebuchet is obviously not powerful enough, and our ship is so big that we can use a larger trebuchet." ”

Although the goblin was a little curious as to why Phyllis needed so many weapons, he didn't ask, but quickly understood what Phyllis meant, and continued, "We also have medium and large trebuchets here, but the large ones can only be used on the city walls, and the recoil on the ship will crush the deck. ”

Phyllis nodded, she also knew the truth of overreach, "Then we will install 5 large trebuchets on the Dragon Whale, and the other six large seafaring ships, each with 3 medium trebuchets." In total, 5 large trebuchets and 10 medium trebuchets. ”

Goblins have seen this practice of loading large alchemy machines into small ships in the past, desperately strengthening the ship's armed forces, and in fact the recoil of the medium-sized trebuchet will also interfere with the ship's course, making it passive in battle. But the goblins didn't know that Phyllis and the others had a ship built with an eighth-order demonic beast skeleton, which was more than enough to install a large trebuchet.

The goblin wrote down the amount Phyllis needed, and continued to guide them downstairs to the courtyard at the back, as the bow statue was placed in the courtyard behind the small building. When she went down to the second floor, Phyllis suddenly stopped, she walked over to an alchemy object and asked strangely, "What is this? ”

"It's a hot air balloon that can carry 10 people, but it can't fly for long periods of time, and it's very slow, so it's usually used to climb over mountains or for short escapes. ”

Kevin fiddled with the hot air balloon and said, "I've heard that the goblin clan used to have goblin airships at their peak, which is actually the same principle as hot air balloons, but later the technology of the airship was lost. ”

Phyllis's eyes lit up, "Each small boat should be equipped with at least one hot air balloon, anyway, it doesn't take up space, if you have a big boat, let's have three, we need a total of eight hot air balloons!"

The price of hot air balloons is not cheap, and the price ratio of 'sex' is very low, but several people laugh at Phyllis's money-burning practice, after all, she represents the Nike Rey 'Mones' family shopping, and the big family just needs something flashy to decorate the 'door'.

Behind the alchemy workshop is a courtyard larger than the entire building, and in this courtyard are placed more than a dozen shipheads of different materials and shapes, each of which is two stories high, and looks very spectacular. Darko was immediately intrigued, he had never known that there were so many types of bow statues, such as the Devil's Statue, the King's Statue, the Strange Fish Statue, the Admiral's Statue, the Madonna Statue, the Virgin' Statue, and so on.

The back half of the courtyard is the workshop area, where half-finished products are piled up everywhere, and the houses behind it are lit up with a magical glow from time to time, and occasionally there is an explosion or two, large or small.

The goblin began to explain in detail, "The bow of a ship is like a magic item, and different bow statues have different enchantments according to different models, so their functions are also different. The Demon Statue increases the melee impact of a ship, the Naga Statue prevents the ship from catching fire, the Angel Statue reduces the damage of the ship in a collision, the Hammer Statue makes the ship stronger and more difficult to sink, the Half Moon Statue makes the ship in a blurred form and reduces the distance it can be detected, the Dragon Statue increases the magic resistance of the ship, the Shark increases the speed of the ship by a certain amount, the Taiping Statue keeps the ship in a tailwind state, and the Dolphin Statue increases the durability of the ship for a longer period of time......"

The goblins came up and began to introduce endlessly, and Darko and the others were a little dizzy when they listened, but it was Asiba who interrupted the goblin's chatter, and it roared at the hammer. Darko translated, "Ashiba says this one looks a little more powerful, and it likes this hammer. ”

"Hey, you're an orc, not a dwarf, why do you like a hammer?" Kevin said helplessly, then added, "We're going to get to that island as soon as possible, and of course we need to use a peace like this to increase speed." ”

Otto's opinion is different from theirs, "Getting there safely is the goal, we want to minimize the trouble that may occur on the way, and the half-moon statue with invisible function should be prioritized." ”

Phyllis thought for a moment and asked, "Darko, what do you think?"

"I think the skeleton is more representative of the Nikery 'Mon' family. Darko told the truth, his own image was once a skeleton, and he naturally had a good impression of this shape.

Phyllis also clapped her hands happily and exclaimed, "Yes, yes, I like this too, we agree on the same page!" Phyllis looked around at the other people and said, "Two votes for the skeleton, one vote for the hammer, one vote for the Taiping statue, and one vote for the Half Moon." The skeleton wins!"

Phyllis and Darko high-fived happily in celebration, leaving Kevin and the others speechless for a while.

At this time, the goblin asked, "How big is your ship?"

Darko asked curiously, "Does the size of the ship have anything to do with the choice of the bow image?"

"Of course, it matters, big ships need to use big bow images, and small boats need small bow images. If the boat is equipped with a large image, it will cause top-heavy and easily cause the bow of the boat to capsize. If a large ship is equipped with a small statue, then the effect of the bow image cannot cover the whole ship and cannot play a corresponding role. ”

Kevin measured the bow portrait next to him with his hand, and sure enough, he found that if this ship was installed on the dragon whale skeleton, it would definitely be out of proportion, obviously too small, so he asked, "Our ship is bigger than normal, do you have a larger bow statue here?"

"Of course, we have the most complete alchemy workshop on Qom Island. The goblin first boasted, and then continued, "Each type of bow statue has four sizes: small, medium, and large, corresponding to the fifth, sixth, and seventh order ships made of demonic beast bones as keels, and what you see now is a medium-sized bow image, and the smaller one on the other side is the small one's bow image. ”

Darko asked, "Why aren't there tuba ones here?"

"The large bow statue is to be installed on a large ship with a seventh-order demonic beast as a keel, the number of such large ships is too small, if we build it and put it here, I'm afraid it will take a long time to sell, it's too cost-effective." The goblin paused suddenly, and then asked in amazement, "You can't buy a seventh-order demonic beast to make a keel ship, right?"

Darko didn't answer, just glanced at Phyllis, and both of them shrugged helplessly.

Phyllis also knew that their ship with an eighth-order demonic beast as a keel was too sensational, and there was not even a large bow statue of a seventh-order demonic beast here, let alone an eighth-order one, "It seems that we can only specialize in creating a bow statue?"

Otto shook his head and said, "I know a little bit about the construction of the ship's bow statue, but it is also a slow work, and we are short of time, so I'm afraid we can't build it ourselves." ”

Phyllis also faced with such difficulties, and became irritable, muttering to herself, "If only Wendy were here, you can cast a ship's bow statue based on me, and 'get' the best enchantment on it." ”

The goblins listened to it in a fog, but it was Otto who solved the doubts and confusions of the goblins, "Our ship is going to be built with the bones of the eighth-order dragon whale as the keel. ”

The goblin was so frightened that it almost sat directly on the ground, and it was surprised for a long time before it suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Your ship is going to use the bones of the eighth-order demonic beasts as the keel?

Darko glanced at the goblin helplessly, pointed in the direction of the dock and said, "That dragon whale is on the dock now, you can go and see for yourself." ”

The goblin was confirmed, and he immediately became excited, "Eighth-order demonic beast, eighth-order demonic beast! There is actually another eighth-order demonic beast's ship about to appear!"

Phyllis and the others were speechless, not knowing why this goblin suddenly became like this. At this time, the goblin suddenly ran to the bottom of the three-story building, pointed to the top of his head, and said, "Take this, this is the bow statue left by Sebadi, which has been here for decades." ”

Darko and the others were slightly puzzled at first, and then suddenly realized that the two sides of the first and second floors of this small building of the alchemy workshop were fixed on both sides of the hull, and the huge skeleton style on the third floor was the decoration of the front end of the ship's bow statue. If you tilt this small building at an angle, it is an out-and-out oversized ship's bow statue!

The goblin proudly introduced the skeletal ship's bow image, "The skeleton is like a kind of ship bow with a domineering spirit, which has nothing to do with the enchantment on it, it is always known that it will cause fear among the low-level sea monsters and make them dare not attack the ship." ”

"This building turned out to be the bow statue of a ship! Look, this size should be used only by an eighth-order demonic beast ship, right? Who has this ship used before? Who are you talking about?" Phyllis quickly blurted out a long list of questions.

"I was rescued by a group of pirates when I was in the sea, and then I became a member of their group of pirates, and our captain is called Sebadi, but he has a more pronounced name in this plane. "The goblin just looked up at this small building, and his eyes 'revealed' infinite nostalgia," One Piece. ”
