【Chapter 064】 Sea Monster Curse
"Quick, everyone's cheer up!"
The terror from the deep sea rose in Mason's heart. But his more than ten years of seafaring experience played a role, and he immediately began to organize the crew to save themselves.
Boom......
There was another dull thud, and a huge gray-white tentacle, covered with palm-sized suction cups, rose from the bow and slammed down on the deck. The entire hull of the ship began to tilt violently, and the crew, who were unsteady on their feet, frantically tried to grasp anything that could hold them steady.
Crunch ......
The scalp-numbing sound of wooden planks was heard, and the huge tentacles wrapped around the bow of the ship, tightening it so hard that it seemed that the bow would be completely crushed in the next moment.
"Quick! Mills, its tentacles!"
Mills was Mason's right-hand man, his second mate on the ship, and his heavy servant on land, strong and powerful, grasping the side of the ship with one hand and drawing a recurve knife from his waist with the other, barely standing on his feet, and flying through it with determination and precision.
Poof......
The blade sliced a gap in the soft tentacles, which shook like an electric shock, and then quickly let go of the bow and sank into the sea.
"Satus is on top!"
The terrifying sea monster seemed to have been scared away by Mills's stab. The violently tossed merchant ships, swaying, finally settled down.
"Mike, Mike! lookout, lookout!"
Mason did not let up in any way, and commanded Mike to climb the mast and look around the sea for signs of the sea monster.
"Oh, ten meters ahead! It didn't leave, it blocked our course. It was circling there, as if it was about to launch a second wave of attacks. ”
"Turn the rudder, keep turning the rudder! We're going to avoid it. The hull of the ship tilted sharply, and with the maximum turning angle, it split the white waves and sailed in the opposite direction.
There was no time to hesitate, Mason's most pressing hope now was to set foot on land and leave the Vortex Sea. Looking at the frightened sailors, he opened his mouth, only to realize that his voice was hoarse and painful, and he reluctantly shouted: "Mike, keep an eye out! Everyone, take up your swords." With the protection of Satus, the god of the sea, we will definitely escape from here safely!"
Everyone looked up and stared at him helplessly, their faces full of panic.
Mason realized that everyone was frightened, and quickly took out the necklace with rubies and anchors hanging around his neck, and shouted: "Satus, the Lord of the Seas, has not abandoned us, and he will definitely save us from the evil hands." Cheer up, guys, and don't let down the favor of Satus!"
Satus, the lord of the seas, who enjoyed the supreme honor, brought a little comfort to the dead hearts of the sailors, and the deep fear of the sea became the motivation, and all the sailors took action, and under the command of the first mate Mills, returned to their respective positions, and stood guard with their swords.
No one wants to stay here for a second longer.
Luckily, the Shining Pearl managed to escape the sea, but deviated from its route to the Talks Pier.
......
Beneath the sea, Qin Song looked at the distant merchant ship, and was not disappointed by its escape, but was excited from the bottom of his heart. This was his original plan - to block the road to the port of Daotan with sea monsters.
With the huge size of the king squid, it can be called a giant sea monster in front of the backward ships of the Middle Ages.
This is important because the town's port is the lifeblood of the town's economy, with frequent merchant ships coming and going, and considerable profits from taxes and transportation. And a sea monster under its own control can form enough deterrence and suppression power on the port.
Robbing merchant ships is indeed a quick way to get rich. However, fishing in the dry water will completely abolish the port of Daotan, and it will not be healthy and sustainable. Moreover, the king squid is also flesh and blood, and the sword can cause damage to it.
The most important thing is that it is very difficult to smoothly transfer wealth to Blackstone Castle by legitimate means and appear in front of Alice.
Therefore, Qin Song upgraded his roadblock robbery plan to the ultimate invincible version - the toll booth. The Kraken is the gate, and Blackstone Castle will play the role of the toll collector.
As for tolls, you can change them to a tall trick - for example, a magic powder produced exclusively by Blackstone Castle that can restrain and disperse sea monsters and allow merchant ships to safely sail into the harbor.
Inspired by the curse of the god of the sea, merchant ships that relied on sailing for profit in this dark age of ignorance and superstition would be happy to pay gold coins for something that would dispel sea monsters.
Yes, this is Qin Song's customized version - the sea monster curse.
In the dream of a beautiful girl, Qin Song is bright, majestic, and full of wisdom. But he is essentially an ancient evil god, and he doesn't make waves in secret, so I'm sorry for the words 'behind the scenes'.
I'll do the dirty work, and Alice's job is to play a savior who can dispel the sea monsters. It makes sense to receive the gift of a savior, to save goods and lives, and to pay a few gold coins.
When the horror legend of the sea monster entangled, it spread widely. The exclusive magic powder produced by Blackstone Fort can become a real essential artifact for sailing, and wealth will roll in.
The curse of the sea god is fake, but the curse of the sea monster, Qin Song said that it is true, it is true. As for the exclusive right to interpret the ingredients of the magic powder, it is completely owned by Qin Song, and he can let himself fly and play freely.
......
The port of Daotan Town, the convoy of the Pierre Comptoir, has been stationed here for half a month. Team leader Halsey, a dark-skinned, middle-aged man with a beard, spends his days looking out from the pier as the sails of the Shining Pearl rise from the sea.
The salty sea breeze lapped Halsey's rough skin, but he wasn't in a hurry. Sailing has always been an adventure full of uncertainties. But he was confident that the experienced Captain Mason would be able to dock safely on the docks.
Not far from him, the Seagull, a small sloop merchant ship, was setting sail. The bow splits the calm waters of the harbor, and the captain stands on the bow deck, feeling the calm of the waves.
"Good luck!"
Watching the sails of the Seagull slowly disappear into the sea, even if they didn't know each other, Halsey prayed sincerely for the Seagull in his heart.
"Hey, Mr. Halsey. Hausen, the port tax officer, came out of the dock room and greeted Halsey warmly: "Flash Pearl, hasn't it appeared yet?"
"Yes, Mr. Hausen. Halsey laughed heartily, "You know, the date of the landing is decided by the sea god Satus. ”
"May Captain Mason be favored by Satus. "Howson and Halsey stand side by side, and the Pierre family's merchant ships, laden with precious cargo, have always brought great benefits to the port.
"Haha, thank you for your prayers...... Wait a minute. Sails, sails appeared. Halsey, who was laughing, suddenly narrowed his eyes, and keenly caught the sail of a ship only the size of a palm on the vast sea, and slowly rose up.
"I hope it's the Shining Pearl!" Hausen narrowed his eyes as well.
As the sails drew closer, Halsey's joy was extinguished, and he shrugged his shoulders self-deprecatingly: "Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it's the Shining Pearl." It was a dhow, and it looked like — the Seagull had just set sail?"
"The wind and waves were calm today. Hausen looked at the blue sky with some strange feeling, it was a rare good weather.
"It can't be a careless captain who forgets to load goods. Haha......" Halsey quipped, finally realizing that something was wrong as the merchant ship drew closer. The crew had gathered at the side of the ship, their swords clenched in their hands, as if they were on guard for something.
"Something seems wrong, Mr. Hausen. Let's go over and see. ”
The Seagull slowly docked on the dock, and the crew set up the gangplank and swarmed down from the ship, all with earthy faces, frightened eyes, and uncontrollable trembling bodies.
"Hey, what's going on?" Halsey called out from afar.
The captain of the Seagull, holding his hat, swallowed his spit, and replied loudly: "Oh my God!
