Chapter 9: Back on the Seven Seas Traveler
"Ed, we may not be able to come over," Luo Hao's voice pierced through the communication crystal, "where have you been?" It was full of turbulence and shear winds, and the Seven Seas Traveler couldn't get past at all, and it was so cloudy that it couldn't see what was underneath. ”
Fang Plover stood on the sloping deck and looked up at the cliffs around him.
"Where is the Seven Seas Traveler now?" That's when he asked.
"To the south of where you said it was." Luo Hao replied.
"Can you see a long, narrow gap?"
There was a sound of walking on the other end of the communication crystal, and after a while, the human voice came again, "Ed, yes." ”
"Pull over the Seven Seas Traveler in that direction and put a dinghy down."
The Seven Seas Traveler has two dinghies attached to the side of the ship on a dinghy frame, although in terms of size, they are nothing more than a sampan.
This kind of small boat used in the air and sea is also equipped with an air element generator, but there is no power source, and it needs to rely on the big ship to recharge, and the storage crystal on the ship can be used for seven or eight hours at a time.
Luo Hao looked a little surprised, why, did he find a lot of things? “”
"Well, there's a lot of stuff." Fang Yu was silent and nodded.
In addition to the inheritance, they then explored the entire ship, and according to the predetermined plan, searched the magic engine room, the material storehouse, and the bottom warehouse.
This is a battleship, and the structure of the battleship tends to be relatively simple, with a straight-through gun deck from the first deck down, as well as a sailor cabin.
Some of the functional cabins, such as the dining room, the infirmary, and the training room, are no longer what they once were, covered with dust and cobwebs, and the contents of the cabins were either rotting and falling apart or piled up when the ship crashed.
There may be some useful things in these ruins, but they are difficult to identify, time-consuming, and of little value.
The owner of the ship was an alchemist, and naturally there should be an alchemy laboratory on the ship, and they did find that place. The alchemy lab was on the bow side, but that place had been most completely destroyed in the impact, leaving nothing of value behind.
Similarly, there is the anchor chamber, which Fang Plover thought would be able to recover the anchor stone, but the anchor chamber disappeared completely in the impact, and a pair of anchors were missing.
But it was not all for nothing, at least a few people found a spare anchor bay near the bow, where they found half of the anchor stone for storage. Half a block, but larger than the two anchors of the Seven Seas Traveler combined.
This half of the anchor stone is naturally worth a lot of money, but Fang Yuan does not plan to sell it, firstly, the Seven Seas Traveler is not yet available, and secondly, if he wants to build a larger ship in the future, he will also need the anchor stone.
Of course, the most important thing is to repeat it twice, and the Seven Seas Brigade is not short of money at the moment.
It is rare for him to have a time when he is rich.
The material warehouse is just below the anchor warehouse, and as expected, there is a large amount of ship plates stored. Naturally, these were not ordinary ship materials, but magic black wood, and there were even some holy white oaks from the hills of giant trees, and I don't know how these pirates got them—this was the best material for making a bow statue, but Fang Yu didn't know if Miss Elf would have any opinion on this.
The Holy White Oak is the sacred tree of Ameya, and the Forest Sanctuary strictly prohibits illegal logging, and these pirates were able to obtain these Holy White Oaks, obviously not through any legal means.
In addition, there are a lot of Mithril and a small amount of Adamantite in the Library, as well as some rare metals such as Star Gold, which is a very rare alchemy material, and the Woven Wind Silk, which is used to make sails.
However, the Seven Seas Traveler has an unlimited supply of silver-maned spider silk, which can be taken out and sold, and it is worth a lot of money.
After passing through the material store, the ship's magic engine room was located in the center of the lower level, which was also badly damaged by the impact, and the only thing that could be recovered was the core crystal.
They also found the Wind Elemental Detector, but it was completely destroyed, and they couldn't even find the value of the recovery.
There is no way, these magic instruments are considered to be the precision instruments on the ship, and the precision instruments are so expensive and squeamish.
The lower cabin of the ship was completely submerged in the clouds, which was actually beneath the surface of the sea of clouds.
As a result, it is also the most severely invaded by creatures, with the rich wind element eroding the ship's planks, and the aisles are covered with elemental moss and sea anemones, corals and sea algae.
There are also some strange coelenteroids - unlike their counterparts on Earth, these creatures are made of a single element, mostly weightless, glowing, and can even float in the air, filtering the elements in the air for a living.
Here they met the second battle since the captain's room, and the opponent was a jellyfish, which was quite strong in combat and could release poison, and several people carefully took a lot of effort to take it down.
After defeating the jellyfish, Fang Ou found that there was a hole in the bottom warehouse, and the big guy should have come in from here.
However, this discovery made him feel that the harvest below was unlucky, and the facts also proved to be so, some of the goods in the bottom warehouse rolled into the abyss from the opening, and some of them were already unusable after being eroded by the wind element.
It took them a lot of time to salvage some supplies from inside, mainly the spare armament on the big ship.
Includes three cannons, corresponding shells and energy storage crystals. There were also a few boxes of armor and swords, which were almost certainly dirty pieces of Imperial equipment, and had to be sent out on the black market.
The most valuable discovery was probably a magic ring, which Fang Ou tested and found to be able to speed up the aether convergence - in short, increase the cast speed and a small amount of mana regeneration.
The ring is called the Ring of Jorien, and almost all spellcasters in its team can use it, but Luo Yu and the chest agree to give the ring to Kita.
The reason is that Erudito needs mana recovery more, and of course there is an even more important reason for the chest - he doesn't bother to grab things from a little girl.
What's more, he has already gained something from this trip, that is, to find the sword in the captain's room.
And the ship's owner's saber actually has a great origin, it is the famous Imperial Radiance II, the famous sword produced in the Imperial Workshop, due to the cost, only one hundred and twenty in total, and the later ones are all simplified fakes.
In addition to the agility and sharpness that most of the magic guide rappiers should have, the most important ability of the Imperial Radiance II is to absorb magic power, unfold the shield and store spells, and it also comes with a flash spell.
As the name suggests, mana drain is attached to the attack, and Imperial Radiance II will store these mana and release it when the wielder needs it, forming a magic shield.
This ability is just right for a chest, and one of the big problems with melee casting is that it is easy to be distracted and cause spells to fail, so he has to choose some spells with short spells to fight.
However, spells with short spells are either too weak or not of high level, and can only be used as a support in battle.
With this shield protection, he can calmly cast some spells that take longer to prepare, which undoubtedly increases his tactical flexibility.
In addition to the mana shield, Imperial Radiance II can also store spells - while many rapiers have spell storage abilities, this sword can use the mana it absorbs to cast spells, which is very good.
As for the accompanying flash technique, a minute of cooling is considered an addition, but it is also the reason why this sword got its name, and it is the ability that it has inherited from the first generation.
This is a relatively rare magic sword, but considering the identity of the ship's owner, it is not surprising that he would use such a sword.
It's just that the Imperial Radiance II was discontinued twenty-four years ago, and now the market price of the genuine product is 2.2 million thousand miles, although it is collectible, but it is also staggering.
When he got the sword, he immediately became the most valuable person on the Seven Seas Traveler.
But what is even more intriguing is that the owner of the ship, as a pirate, was able to get this sword, and I am afraid that the origin is not so simple.
Even if he snatched it, the person who might get this sword would not have the wealth and strength, and being able to snatch the sword from such a person speaks a lot in itself.
Not long ago, Tang Xin told him another thing, the secret room on the ship was obviously not added later, but existed at the beginning of the design.
This means that the five-masted ship was not stolen by the pirate leader, but built by him.
There may be various factors of chance to grab such a ship, but if you want to build such a ship, it is not just a little financial resources that can be done.
Fang Yu built the Seven Seas Traveler by himself, and with the help of the eldest princess of Istania, he naturally understood how manpower-consuming and human resources it was.
He looked at the surrounding mountain walls, and Luo Hao's words earlier also gave him an idea.
The revenge mentioned by the owner of the ship, he may have been chased to this place by his own enemies, and in desperation, he rushed into the turbulent zone of this place without hesitation, and then crashed into this place with his own ship.
But did he know that this was a dead dead zone?
Judging from the day that the other party mentioned that he already knew about it, he may know.
But what makes people a little puzzled, who are those who are chasing him, and for what? If it was for the sake of the ship's secrets, then why didn't they enter this place?
There are still quite a lot of suspicions, especially the other party's inexplicable legacy - asking people to help take revenge, but not naming the object of revenge.
Fortunately, Fang Yu didn't care too much.
He didn't have the heart to be the heir of a pirate, and as for these things, they were his spoils, and he would take them with permission.
As for the black alloy key, he thought about it for a moment and took it with him. He hadn't figured out the secrets of those constructs yet, but the alchemy formula made him a little concerned, he couldn't find any secrets in the future and come back to get the key, right?
If it falls into the hands of someone else, then he will not be able to cry.
Although he also had a hunch that the treasure trove left behind by the owner of the ship might be a little strange, whether he decided to go to that place or not, it was always wrong to take the key first.
It didn't take long for the Seven Seas Traveler to arrive, the dinghy was lowered, and Luo Hao and the others quickly found the entrance to the arrow-tailed buzzard's lair.
But how to get the stuff out of the big ship is a big problem.
It's okay to say that the construction of the body and the ship's materials are nothing more than a waste of time and a few more transports.
However, the core crystal recovered from the magic guide cabin made Fang Yu difficult.
In short, the thing was too big, five meters long, two meters wide at its thickest point, and weighed more than a ton.
And the point is, it's more than one. There are a total of five magic engines in a large ship of this level, and even if three of them are damaged, two crystals have been recovered.
Just to get it from the bottom of the ship to the deck, they had to make a big hole in the big ship that went straight to the upper deck.
Thanks to the fact that it was a different world, the big cat people plus Luo Hao, Miss Shesta's strength, and the three of them plus a set of power buffs, barely pulled them up from below.
In fact, there are wooden cranes on large ships, but the crumbling appearance makes people suspect that they will fall down at any time, let alone bear the load.
Baggins then used a method of transporting logs to send the core crystals into the cave, but when he passed through the narrowest part of the arrowtail bustard's lair, the real trouble came - the core crystals of the big ship could not pass through at all.
They tried everything they could, but they all failed. In the end, I had to choose the stupidest way - digging a cave.
It was obviously not a one-day or two-day project, so the Seven Seas Traveler anchored nearby.
After all, no one wants to give up these two core crystals and sell them, even if they are damaged, it is enough to double the assets of the Seven Seas Brigade.
Not long after, Alyssa and Parker on the other side also came back with good news - they had found a water source.
A river flows into the Gap on the north side of the area, creating a waterfall.
This news dispelled the last doubts of the crowd.
With clean water, the Seven Seas Traveler will be able to stay nearby for a long time.
……
It's late at night.
But there were still lights and sounds of conversation on the deck.
Fang Yu pulled up the eyepiece and rubbed his eyes.
The others should be methodically transporting the supplies back to the Seven Seas Traveler, and the cave is still about a day or two away.
In the period before the cave was opened, everyone was not idle, and simply began to dismantle the big ship, dismantling the strongest ship materials on the keel rib part that could still be used on it, and recovering a batch of magical black wood and precious metals.
All in all, the Seven Seas Traveler will not need to replenish any materials for a while, and even sell some of them.
In addition, most of the materials recovered from the ship are stored in the bottom silo, barely filling half of the bottom silos.
He had also consulted with Miss Attila about the Holy White Oaks, and although Miss Elf was quite disdainful of the pirates for the theft of sacred trees, she also agreed to their use of them.
It's just that she cleanly rejected Parker's suggestion to sell the wood.
Holy white oak is the best material for magical shipheads, and since there is very little outflow, it is indeed very valuable in the market.
But Miss Elf's meaning is very simple, they can use it themselves, but they can't resell it.
Fang Yu didn't mind, he didn't have much concept of money now—or never had been—except for the time when he was so poor.
He just thought to himself that although the Seven Seas Traveler already had a bow statue - a magical sea dragon statue that was said to have the strange ability to improve luck, only God knew what it would do.
Because this thing is so common, almost every merchant ship will come to one, and the so-called common saying that everyone on the air and sea is lucky, I am afraid that this is also the reason for this.
He didn't dare to think about those famous legendary bow statues, such as the twin goddesses, the holy white dragon, and the wrath of the sea god, but now that he has so many holy white oaks in his hands, it shouldn't be difficult to make a B-class or B+-rated bow statue, right?
As for Parker's proposal, he looked a little unhappy after his proposal was rejected.
But Fang Yu was very suspicious that this guy was like this because he missed the treasure hunt.
Although the treasure hunt was indeed amazing, even he didn't expect it to be so rewarding.
They had gone through a lot of hardships in Istania to earn that money, thanks to Count Nurman's failure to pursue it afterwards, but it also made them very weak for a while.
Unexpectedly, within two days of going to sea, the assets more than doubled out of thin air, and this feeling of picking up a windfall is really good.
Of course, Fang Yu also understands that such an opportunity is also hard to come by.
The gold on the empty sea is just a dream of sailors.
Baggins: They installed a cannon they had found from the big ship on the Seven Seas Traveler—the vacant gun mount at the stern.
The magic cannon was almost an antique from twenty years ago, and certainly not as good as the cutting-edge cannon that Princess Celestia had promised them to have flown in from Cowling.
But at least it's better than the Seven Seas Traveler running naked over the empty sea with a ballista, isn't it?
Fang Yu now thought of the cutting-edge artillery, and his heart was full of tears, and this account was counted on the head of the prime minister.
Miss Attila has completed the thermostatic magic array in the past few days, and has temporarily raised the three arrowtail bustard chicks in that place.
The three little girls of Tianlan, Ai Xiaoxiaohe, and Kita ran to the greenhouse every day to watch.
Especially Miss Naturalist, looking at these little fluffy things, her heart melts.
Under the leadership of Tianlan, the three of them divided up these arrowtail buzzard chicks one by one, without asking their group leader's opinion.
Only Ai Xiaoxiao pretended to be reserved a little, "Do you want to ask Cousin Ed's opinion?" ”
"Ai Xiaoxiao, go say hello." Sky Blue said.
Ai Xiaoxiao immediately decided, "I've already asked the head of the regiment for his opinion." ”
So everyone has asked, anyway, Tianlan thinks so.
However, these chicks are still in the domestication period, and although they have been divided, they will not be able to take them away for a while.
Miss Attila built a shed in the bow of the ship, intending to make use of the herd area when the arrowtail bustards were older.
And Fang Yu naturally did not participate in these affairs.
When he returned from the ship before he came, he was so sleepy that he went back to sleep on the Seven Seas Traveler, and slept all day.
Second, he also has his own things to be busy with.
The first is the work at hand, the completion of the β state of a crystal, and the fact that the work has come to an end after receiving the materials sent from Karatu.
Right now, he just needs to finish his next magic guide furnace together, and there is not much work left.
The other thing is to continue to study the constructs, to the alchemical formula.
However, little progress was made on the former, and he had Miss Tata and Nini each try to control the construct, but to no avail.
Miss Tata was similar to him, unresponsive.
And Nini was directly bounced off the structure, almost stunned.
When she came back to her senses, this little girl buried herself in his chest and cried for half a day, causing half a boatload of people to come and watch it.
I almost thought it was their captain who was abusing child labor.
In the end, it was Alyssa who angrily took Nini, who was crying profusely, away and threw him a pair of white eyes.
Fang Yu was speechless.
However, he has gained a little from the study of the alchemy formula.
