5. Bounty Missions
readx; Lin Yichen had been on a boat many times, but it was the first time he had taken such a wooden warship. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Although Valoran is a world where technology and magic coexist, it seems that there is no application of technology in the sea, at least the ******** he is currently flying on still relies on manpower.
I have to say that Sarah is indeed a very powerful woman, there are a total of seventy-five sailors on this ********, none of them are women, all of them are strong men, and it can be seen that these men are all unruly pirates born, and there is no good man. However, it was such an unruly group of pirates who were tamed by a woman like Sarah, who was less than twenty years old, or rather a girl.
From boarding the ship to entering the captain's room, all the sailors he met respectfully addressed the captain when they saw Sarah, and Lin Yichen could see that these sailors were in awe and grateful to Sarah.
Sarah's captain's room doesn't have the girlish air of the imagination, every decoration exudes fierceness and ruggedness, except for a flower pot on the desk, and a cactus.
Lin Yichen, who has a certain amount of research in psychology, looked at the pot of cacti and could vaguely guess that Sarah was an extremely strong girl, but very insecure. Her heart is like a cactus with hard pins and needles, but when it stretches out, it is soft.
Due to the previous trip to Valoran, Lin Yichen no longer fully believed in the background introduction of heroes in League of Legends, so he didn't dare to look at Sarah's understanding as a hero background.
Once Sarah entered the captain's room, she walked straight to her desk, took off her tricorne hat and hung it on the shelf, and pulled out a piece of brown paper from her pocket, a new assignment she had received from the Bounty Hunters Guild last night.
But Sarah spreads out the vellum paper, and there are a few lines of text on it, but more of a pattern, and it looks like a nautical chart.
Lin Yichen walked over curiously, and Sarah did not shy away from it.
The text on the vellum is the bounty message:
A month ago, shipwrecks occurred in the Attak Sea, one of the waters from Bilgewater to Valoran, where almost all ships passing through the Attak Sea sank suddenly, and none survived.
Mission Requirements: Explore the waters of Ataco and find out the cause of the shipwreck.
Job bounty: 100,000 gold
Bounty: Billgewater Pirate League.
In addition to the text information, it is a nautical chart, Lin Yichen can't understand it, but he can guess that it should be a nautical chart going to the sea area called Attaq.
After watching for a while, Sarah stood up and walked around the captain's room, her brows furrowed, and her face even more hesitant.
Lin Yichen pulled a chair and sat on it, and said, "Miss Sarah, you don't have to be so hesitant, although I have never been in contact with sailors and pirates, but I also know that both sailors and pirates are actually a group of gamblers, using their lives as a bet, and if they win, they will not worry about eating and drinking, and if they lose, they will die." Since they chose to be sailors and pirates, they naturally had these psychological preparations. So in my opinion, you should think about how to get more benefits for them and try to protect their lives, rather than whether you want to take them on an adventure. If they don't even have the adventurous spirit, they might as well go back to farming and become farmers. ”
From this simple information, Lin Yichen can be sure that this bounty task is definitely extremely dangerous.
Sarah stopped, looked at Lin Yichen, and said, "I don't need you to teach me yet, I'm just thinking about how to throw you into the sea to feed the sharks." ”
Lin Yichen smiled, "Miss Sarah, you really don't need to be so wary of me, I'm not interested in you." ”
"Humph! So what are you doing with me? ”
"I don't know, I just don't think there's anywhere to go, and I happened to meet you again, so that's it." Lin Yichen shrugged.
After saying that, he stood up and stretched, "Hmm...... I didn't sleep all night last night, and I'm a little tired, so I'll go to sleep for a while, so you don't need to call me. ”
With that, he walked towards the inner room, ignoring Sarah, and pushed the door in.
"Stop!" Sarah said angrily.
But Lin Yichen walked in regardless of it, this is obviously Sarah's bedroom, compared to the roughness and toughness of the captain's room, it finally looks like a girl's boudoir, and as soon as you enter, it is fragrant.
Sarah looked at Lin Yichen who was already lying on the bed, trembling with anger, and pointed at Lin Yichen, "That's my bed!" ”
In response to her, there was a slight snoring, Sarah naturally knew that he did it on purpose, and immediately pulled out a pistol and shot Lin Yichen, but with the sound of the gun, Lin Yichen raised his hand seemingly unintentionally, but just caught the bullet, and then threw it on the ground.
"Bang!"
Sarah slammed the door shut and walked away in a rage.
After the corners of Lin Yichen's mouth moved slightly, he gradually relaxed, he was indeed a little tired. Before crossing over, my mana was almost sucked dry by the constellation card, but I finally recovered some of it, and it was also used to fight Sarah and pretend just now. If Sarah continued to shoot just now, he would have been embarrassed to dodge, but fortunately, in this BI, he pretended to be a perfect score and drove Sarah away.
I don't know how long he slept this night, but when he woke up, he could clearly feel that the ship had begun to move, and he walked out of the inner room without seeing Sarah. So he walked out of the captain's room and was confronted by several crew members, who looked at him with some disdain and provocation in their eyes.
Lin Yichen didn't care about this, he knew what these people were thinking. Compared with these five big and three rough men, he is definitely weak, and his fair skin will give people the illusion of a little white face. Even if he is placed on land, he will be despised by people who don't understand, let alone these crew members who fight for their lives in the sea.
After passing shoulders with the crew, he even vaguely heard them talking.
"Who is this little white face?"
"I don't know, the captain brought it back this morning, looking at his thin skin and tender meat, he may be a nobleman, right?"
"Yes, only those nobles would look like a sissy like him."
"Shhhh
Lin Yichen shook his head and decided to go to the deck to take a look, so he climbed onto the deck. As soon as he stepped onto the deck, there was a refreshing sea breeze with a slightly salty smell, which lifted Lin Yichen's spirits.
Although all the crew members must clean the cabin three times a day because of Sarah, after all, they are sailing at sea, and they use seawater, and with so many men who are five big and three thick, even if they are cleaned frequently, the air in the cabin will definitely not be too good, and it is different on deck.
At this time, there were hardly any human figures on the deck, not even the stars overhead, and the sea breeze blew the sails to the full, and the only sound of the waves was around.
Lin Yichen was walking on the deck when he suddenly heard Sarah's voice, "Who's over there?" ”
Lin Yichen followed the sound and saw that on the helmsman's platform, Sarah was standing on it, at this time she was dressed differently from the daytime, and her daytime dress made people feel that she was very charming and demonic, which made people feel itchy and unbearable. And at this moment, she is standing on the helmsman's platform, facing the wind, but it is a heroic feeling.
Uh-huh? This outfit looks a little familiar.
Lin Yichen gradually remembered Sarah's appearance at this time, wasn't it the same as the appearance of Miss Doom's empress skin in "League of Legends", just missing the gorgeous three-cornered hat.
And Sarah obviously recognized Lin Yichen and took her gaze back.
Lin Yichen walked up to the helm platform, looked at Sarah, and said with a smile: "I can't see that you still have such a side." ”
"What do you mean?" Sarah raised her eyes slightly.
Lin Yichen shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's not interesting, oh, by the way, aren't you the captain?" How did you take the helm yourself? ”
"It's none of your business."
Lin Yichen smiled, looking at the black sea, and couldn't help but think about how to identify the direction of sailing in such a sea area, without modern equipment. Oh, by the way, in ancient times on earth navigation relied on compasses and compasses, but I don't know if this world is also like this.
"Beautiful Miss Sarah, may I ask you how you can discern the direction of such a voyage?"
Sarah pointed to the sky and said, "The stars and the moon, they will show the way." ”
Lin Yichen's eyes lit up, yes, this method is actually more convenient than the compass and compass, after all, the compass and compass may be affected by the magnetic field and deviate, but the starry sky and the moon will not.
However, Sarah suddenly said: "But in this kind of weather where you can't see the moon or the starry sky, you need to rely on the direction of the wind." ”
Lin Yichen nodded, people who have been driving on the sea all year round will definitely be familiar with the trade winds in the sea, and it is indeed feasible to identify the direction through the trade winds.
"Huh?" Sarah's brow furrowed suddenly, and she looked at the weather vane on the mast.
But seeing that the weather vane, which had been drifting in one direction, suddenly became messy, Sarah put her index finger in her mouth, dipped her saliva, and held it in front of her.
Seeing her do this, Lin Yichen was slightly stunned, and then knew that she was testing the wind direction and strength with her wet fingers. The sea breeze on the wet fingers will cause the evaporation of water, and the fingers will feel cool because of the heat taken away by the evaporation. Experienced sailors can perceive from which direction the wind is blowing and how strong it is by a keen sense on their fingers.
"What's going on? The south wind turned to the west wind, the west wind turned to the east wind, the east wind turned to the north wind, and the east wind turned back to the south wind......" Sarah muttered to herself, her face changing with it.
A drop of water suddenly splashed on Lin Yichen's face, and the cold chill seeped into his skin, causing him to be stunned suddenly, and unconsciously wiped it with his fingers.
"Huh? Where does the water come from? ”
I only heard Sarah sneer: "It's raining, the storm is coming!" ”
"Huh?" Lin Yichen looked at Sarah, but saw that the latter's face became extremely ugly.
Sailing people love rain because it allows them to replenish fresh water and even take a bath, but this is not the case with storms, which often cause ships to be swallowed up by the waves caused by storms, when there was no use of technology.
As he spoke, the sky began to rain on a large scale, and at first it was dripping, like a girl who had just come out of the pavilion, ashamed and ashamed, but soon, the raindrops splashed down like a hysterical woman.
The raindrops the size of beans crackled on the deck like fried beans, and some hit the bulging sails, with a dull sound like a drum, which was creepy!
"Damn it!" Sarah suddenly burst into a foul mouth, her pupils constricted slightly, and her eyes stared into the distance.
Lin Yichen followed her gaze, but saw a black writhing tornado hurricane connecting the heavens and the earth in the black sea, it boiled the originally calm ocean, stirring the dim and low sky, and the waves of the sea were like a large rock lifted by an invisible giant, one after another, crashing heavily into the hull of the ship, turning into a broken flower Qiongyu.
Hurricane! The nightmare of all voyagers, no matter what kind of ship it is, encounters a hurricane at sea, and there is almost no chance of survival, this is the power of heaven and earth, and it is impossible for human beings to resist.
