captain

Dakko and the others had been preparing for the Alchemy Grand Prix before, and it was rare to have such free time to watch sightseeing, and they all relaxed at this time, feeling the sunshine and sea breeze, which was very comfortable. Otto and Darko take turns to '' the ship, although Otto is not a magician, but as a cameo 'apothecary', he has long been familiar with the control of drainage, and 'manipulate' the ship is also at ease.

Darko kept looking at Qom Island, which was getting closer and closer, and found that there were still mountains and rivers on it, but although the sparrows were small, he sighed, "This island is so big, you can't even see the border, if you don't tell me it's an island, you think it's a continent." ”

Otto replied to Darko while sunbathing with his eyes closed, "Of course, the Central Islands are located in the very center of the entire Venus plane, and not only the climate is pleasant, but also the 'traffic' is also well-connected. Qom Island is the second largest island in the archipelago, with a large number of people, and there are more than two dozen piers on the island alone. ”

Darko thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't it better to say that this Qom Island is the second largest, so why don't we go there and buy a boat?"

"The largest island is not inhabited by many people, and there are no good boatmen. Otto paused, squinting at Kevin, before slowly continuing, "Because, it's occupied by the Vitamin Guild. ”

Kevin's body shook, and he immediately regained his composure. Darko suddenly realized, and then he remembered that the headquarters of the Vitamin Guild was on the Venus plane, and he immediately became serious. Although he knew that this was an eighth-level plane before, he still didn't feel very serious, after all, Amesia was a ninth-level plane, and it wasn't necessarily that dangerous, after all, not every plane lacked order like Mercury. But when Darko remembered the matter of the Vitamin Guild, he immediately became serious, and he had a deep understanding of the horror of the Vitamin Guild, and he had formed a little psychological 'shadow'.

As their ship approached the island, Phyllis patted Otto and shouted, "Turn around, let's go along the coastline and find a dock where we can buy a big ship!"

Darko asked suspiciously, "Shouldn't we go ashore?"

Alto '' the rudder to change direction, and said without looking back, "We are looking for a large ship, just walk along the coastline between the docks and pay attention to it, if you go ashore, the speed will be slower." ”

So they cruised along the coastline at a distance of more than two hundred meters from the shore, and after a while, they saw a pier. I saw that there were more than thirty ships neatly arranged there, half of them were the same boat as the Daktros and their seats, and the rest were larger ones. And there are also huge bones of some kind of magical beast on the shore, which are more than 60 meters long by sight. At this time, there were more than a dozen people around the skeleton measuring and busy with something, and among them there was a magician, I don't know what the situation was.

Darko pointed in that direction and said, "Look, it's the dock we're looking for." ”

Phyllis just shook her head, "Those ships are too small, we need bigger ones." ”

Darko was stunned, he didn't know why Phyllis felt small, in his opinion that kind of ship was big enough. Otto, on the other hand, also glanced at Phyllis and didn't say anything, just continued to sail thoughtfully.

After most of the day's voyage, Dactronics and the others passed through more than a dozen ports, large and small, and also saw larger ships, but Phyllis was never satisfied, which made Dacko and the others very strange. But Dakko found a lot of things from it, most of the bones of sea monsters were placed next to those harbors, some of them had not been moved, and some of them had added layers of wood and metal to the outside of the rows of ribs, and the structure of the ships inside was also very perfect. Then it dawned on him that the ribs of the sea demonic beast could be used as the keel of the ship!

"Hey, look ahead, there's a big town. Phyllis shouted, pointing ahead.

Darko and the others also hurriedly looked over, only to see a larger town appear in front of them. Although the town was not walled, it was densely populated with houses and boats, and it seemed to be very prosperous. Due to the limitations of the island, no matter how big the town of Venus is on the plane, it is not as big as the Amesh plane, and the gap is not half a point. But they had encountered small villages and towns before, and now they were surprised to suddenly encounter a town of this size.

When they got closer, they found that the wharf of this town was indeed much larger, and countless ships were moored in it, and there were ships coming and going from time to time, which was very lively. Among them, ships made of skeletons over fifty meters are not even uncommon, and at a cursory glance there are more than a dozen parked. On the other side of the wharf, several people were immediately stunned, two huge ships of more than 200 meters were lying there, and countless boatmen were busy on them.

Phyllis immediately exclaimed, "This is it, let's get ashore!

Otto slowly stopped the boat by the dock, and Phyllis was the first to jump out of the boat and run on the dock. Several people from Dakko also boarded the dock one after another, perhaps because they hadn't touched the ground for a long time, and when they were down-to-earth, they all wanted to run to their heart's content and vent all the vanity of the boat.

Phyllis had grabbed a man who looked like a shipwright and asked, "Who is the best shipbuilder you have here?"

The shipwright looked at Darko and his party, and then replied, "You are from another plane, aren't you?" The best shipbuilder is, of course, our Captain Hook, who is considered to be the best shipwright in the whole city of Gaha. ”

Otto thought for a moment and asked, "Are you talking about Cella Hook?"

The boatman pointed to the two boats more than two hundred meters long in the distance and said proudly, "Of course, who else can build such a ship besides our captain?"

Otto nodded at Phyllis, "I've heard of this name, it is said that this Cella Hook used to be a pirate, and he was considered a strong man, and then he started building ships after washing his hands, and built many famous pirate ships. ”

When asked for directions, Darko and the others walked together in the direction of a large ship, which was a huge ship nearly two hundred meters long, and it was daunting just to look at. And when he got closer, he realized how big this ship was, and then he became more curious about providing this dragon bone demonic beast.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a full beard slowly walked down, his left hand was an iron hook, and his right foot was a wooden stick, both of which looked to be mutilated in battle. He walked up to him and asked, "I'm Hook, are you here to buy a boat?"

"Well, yes. Darko subconsciously replied, but immediately asked strangely, "How do you know we're here to buy a boat?"

Hook smiled, "After so many years of 'messing' at sea, if you don't even have this bit of eyesight, you will die a long time ago." When I saw you coming from afar, I knew business was coming, and it was big business. ”

Kevin didn't like Hook's way of speaking, and said lightly, "We haven't decided whether we want to buy a boat from you yet." ”

"Trust me, you will. Hook said with a smile, "I don't dare to say that the whole Venus plane has the best shipbuilding technology here, but at least on this Qom Island, no one dares to say that they are the first." ”

Darko was shocked, he already knew that this was the second largest island in the entire Central Islands, and the most skilled boatmen gathered here, the first on the whole island, and it was no different from the first in the entire plane.

Phyllis clapped her hands and shouted, "Okay, I'll buy it from you!" But don't lie to us, or you'll be good-looking!"

Hook smiled and said, "I've been doing this for seventeen years, and of course my reputation is guaranteed, but I don't know if you have any requirements for the ship?"

Phyllis groaned, "Hmm...... We're going to an island at the edge of the plane, but we don't know how long it will take. ”

Hook thought for a moment and asked, "Are you also going to hunt for treasure on that island of dead relics?"

"How do you know?" Dacko and the others shouted in unison, they thought that they had arrived here the fastest after learning the news of the Death Ruins, but they didn't expect someone to be there before them.

Hook shrugged, the light in his lone eye flickered, "This is the news that the Skua Guild recently released to adventurers, some adventurers quickly set off in order to seize the opportunity after getting the news, what's so strange about it." ”

"Skua Guild?" Dacko had never heard of that name, and it was very strange.

Otto explained to Darko, "There are many guilds of all kinds in the Venus plane, and since Venus does not have the power of the Church of the Gods, the scale of the development of the major guilds is also very large. For example, if you are an adventurer and want news of all kinds of treasures, as long as you sign a contract with the Skua Guild, you can get the first-hand news of all the treasures within the specified time. As for the fees of the Skua Guild, they are related to the 'trade' contract signed, some of which charge a fixed fee, and some of which are drawn proportionally after the adventurer finds the treasure. In addition to treasures, information about the traces of designated targets, the collection of precious materials, and the appearance of magical beasts can also be bought and sold, and it is said that the Skua Guild has some connections with the Vitamin Guild. ”

Phyllis waved her hand, "Whatever those do, since the news has already been known by so many people, we have to speed up, Captain Hook quickly recommend me the ship you built, and I can reach the island of the Reaper's Ruins within ten months!"

"Ten months is quite a lot, look over there. Hook pointed to the boat on the side of the dock, "That small boat is a small seafaring ship with a fifth-order demonic beast as the keel that can carry 50 people and can reach it in ten months, a medium-sized seafaring ship of a sixth-order demonic beast can carry 200 people and can reach it in eight months, and a large seafaring ship of a seventh-order demonic beast can carry 500 people and can reach it in six months." ”

The large seafaring ship made of the bones of the seventh-order demonic beast that Hook was referring to was the giant ship with a length of nearly 200 meters that Darko and the others saw when they came over, and it was conceivable how huge the demonic beast was during his lifetime. Dakko knew that the sea monsters of the same level were much larger than the land monsters, but he didn't expect to reach such a size. Among the magical beasts that Dacko has seen, only the Dark Pope's Bi'mon' giant beast can be compared to it in terms of volume, but Bi'meng' is a ninth-order holy beast, and this similar volume is just a seventh-order sea demonic beast.

"Why do you have to make boats out of monster bones?" Kevin found out about this problem on the way here, most of the ships are ships with monster bones as keels, which is very strange.

"Warcraft originally live in the sea, and the skeletons that can withstand the pressure in the water are stronger than those of land Warcraft, and their appearance is still a streamlined shape, which is naturally suitable for making keels for ships. Hook patted the side of a half-finished ship beside him and said, "What's more, the island you are going to needs to pass through the stormy sea, and if you don't use the bones of the monster as the keel of the ship, it will definitely fall apart." ”

Phyllis didn't quite understand the concept, "Isn't it supposed to sail faster because the boat is lighter?"

"The bigger the boat, the less affected by the 'waves' and 'waves', and the faster it can be. If the small boat is equipped with a large driving magic array, it will be extremely unstable, and even if there is no wind and waves, there will be a danger of capsizing. ”

"What kind of boats did the adventurers who bought the boat from you buy?" Phyllis was still thinking about the adventurers who got the news and set off first.

Hook smiled contemptuously, pointed to a small boat in the distance, and said, "There are six groups of adventurers in total, most of them are small teams of four or five people, and they all bought that kind of boat, which is made of fourth-order demonic beast bones. ”

Darko looked over and was shocked to find that the ship of the fourth-order demonic beast was actually the same size as the ship they had come from the Space Temple before. Dacko couldn't help but be speechless for a while, but at the same time relieved.

"Are they going to die?" Kevin was also speechless, "I thought they were strong competitors, but I didn't expect them to be just a bunch of cannon fodder." ”

"Everyone will die one day, but they at least choose the way they like to die. When Hook said this, his expression became serious, even a little reverent.

Darko was stunned, then nodded deeply in agreement, it would be difficult to live on his own terms, but it would be relatively easy to die in his own way, but it would be difficult to choose. Those who can make such a decision are undoubtedly daring to work hard, it seems that the pirate culture of the Venus plane has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Darko has also put away his contempt for those pirates who are close to death.
