On a certain sea ship outside the port of Tortuga, Ryuji, with a bag on his back, was trying to control the sails, and behind him, a group of mercenaries dressed like him were looking at him with a foolish gaze.

They were all mercenaries who were invited by the governor of Port Tortuga to clean up the nearby fishmen and protect the safety of the route, and instead of resting well on the way to the fishman gathering place, they helped the sailors control the sails, and there was no one else who could do such a thing except Yanagi.

But at this time, Liu Zhi, who was controlling the sail and was happy, didn't care about the opinions of those people, if it wasn't for the existence of the Storm Clan in the fishmen who were encircled and suppressed this time, Liu Zhi wouldn't have come to this troubled water.

After following the boat, Liu Zhi realized that they did not directly kill the Storm Clan, but to patrol back and forth along several routes of Tortuga Port to strike at several fish-man clans that appeared nearby.

Although a few years later, a new batch of Fishman Clans will appear on those reefs that appear from time to time, in these few years, the route will be relatively safer, and there will be no such thing as the Fishman Clan taking the initiative to attack the Cisse Silver Fleet.

Ryuji followed the fleet to fight two fish-man clans, and in the course of these two battles, he realized that his personal strength was still too small, and this fleet was only an escort fleet near the port of Tortuga, and it was not the best in terms of equipment or combat power.

But when they fought, they were much stronger than Liu Zhi, who had studied the fishman for more than ten days.

When the warships arrived outside the gathering place of the Fish-Man Clan, they didn't say anything, first a burst of artillery washed the ground, and then a large number of sailors formed a battle formation and went towards the Fish-Man.

The mercenaries who came to pick up the cheap ones followed behind to beat the soy sauce, and in an hour or two, a fish-man clan would be wiped out.

On several occasions, Ryuji thought that the purpose of the fleet in the port of Tortuga to recruit mercenaries was just to show their muscles, so that those mercenaries who were willing to do anything for money could be quiet in the port of Tortuga, and not think that they could walk sideways in Tortuga with a little force, and it was only a matter of minutes for the people of the Doge's Palace to kill them.

But after talking with those old mercenaries, Liu Zhi realized that the mercenaries were recruited, not as he thought, these battles were just the beginning, and when the real war came, it was not the sailors who went first, but these mercenaries who went first, because they were just cannon fodder hired by them.

The mercenaries who knew this stayed on the deck of the ship, not moving if they could, in order to maintain their strength and survive the real battle.

It is precisely for this reason that they look at Liu Zhi like they are looking at fools.

You must know that the people of Tortuga Harbor will not let him charge behind him just because Liuji helped them control the sails.

But Liu Zhi took the initiative to control the sail with his own ideas, he controlled the sail very seriously, and at the same time scanned the data on the side of the [Sail Control Technique], secretly calculating in his heart.

At this time, the hurried bell rang, and one of the sailors on the lookout shouted loudly: "Seeing the Storm Clan, they have begun to fight back." ”

Hearing this, the mercenaries stood up one after another, drew their weapons and their respective weapons, and moved their bodies there, making the final preparations before the battle.

At this time, Liu Zhi was unmoved, and finally pulled the sail back hard, and pulled the sail full.

Seeing this, an old mercenary couldn't help but shake his head, and he walked up to Liu Zhi: "Don't waste your strength, we're going to fight soon." ”

Liu Zhi didn't stop because of this, and still pulled the sail vigorously there, "One more time, one more wind will do." ”

The old mercenary was a little speechless, and was about to step forward to say something, when a gust of wind blew, and Liu Zhi stepped back excitedly, pulling the sail full again, and then carefully put the sail away, but it could be seen from his eyes that Liu Zhi was in a state of excitement at this time.

The old mercenary wanted to ask, but Liu Zhi waved his hand, tied the cable or something, and then retreated to the mercenary team.

Ryuji didn't have the heart to communicate with other people at all, and all his attention was on the words that jumped out.

[Sail Control Level 4 (0+0/9000): Master the ability to control the sails, the necessary skills of sailors, and even feel the extraordinary power of the wind in the air, strength +0.4, spirit +0.2]

[Extraordinary ability: Strong wind, call a strong wind to the designated location, the size of the wind is related to mental power. 】

[It has been detected that the standard for the inauguration of a deputy sailor (level 4/1 in sail control and level 4/1 in basic swordsmanship) has been reached, and I would like to ask if you are a sailor.] 】

Looking at these words, Ryuji finally smiled, in fact, when he learned the art of sail control, he was prompted to meet the standards for the employment of a deputy sailor, but he checked it, if he was employed at that time, his profession would be a trainee sailor.

After seeing the description of the profession, Liu Zhi knew how he was going to choose, so he stubbornly postponed the matter of the deputy position to the present.

Sure enough, after choosing the inaugural sailor, a few more lines of text popped up in front of Liu Zhi.

[Successfully employed as a deputy - sailor, according to strength, assessed as an extraordinary sailor (trainee, ordinary, elite, extraordinary), level 1]

[Sailor Attribute (each level): Strength +0.1, Agility +0.1, Constitution +0.1]

[Sailor skills: Operate a boat, as a sailor, controlling a boat to sea is a necessary skill, but depending on the strength of the sailor, the size of the ship controlled is also different (trainee can control the sampan, ordinary sailors can operate a 1-person sailboat, elite sailors can operate a small sailboat that can be operated by 2 people, and extraordinary sailors can operate a small sailboat that can be operated by 3 people)]

[Extraordinary Skill: My Boat, as a sailor, love your ship as if you love your own body, when you control the boat for more than a certain number of years, the ship will be transcendental, producing an extraordinary effect suitable for the extraordinary sailor. 】

"That's what I want." Yanagi snapped his fingers, not to mention what the boatswain, adjutant and captain levels each need, that is, the sailor can control a ship to go to sea, which is enough to be worthy of Liuji's investment these days.

What he wanted was a way for him to leave at any time, after all, in this Age of Discovery, being trapped in a harbor was quite uncomfortable.

Now with this deputy, as long as he has another small boat, he can go to sea whenever and wherever he wants, and he does not have to be brought back to the port of Tortuga halfway at all, as he did before.

With such a small excitement, Liu Zhi's hand holding the knife also relaxed a little, and at this time, the fishmen of the Storm Clan on the sea had already rushed out, and they were pressed into a large area, and their mouths made a purring and gurgling sound, stepping on the waves, holding harpoons and maces, and rushed towards the battleship.
