Chapter 174: The Unicorn

The direction of Vitra port close to the ocean is the place where the sea ships dock, each area is distinguished by the wooden bridge that stretches out of the ocean very far, the size of each area determines the size of the ship that can be docked, in the far part of the wooden bridge, there is a huge and thick wooden pile, directly into the seabed, and the anchor on the sea ship can be used to dock the sea ship safely in the harbor, each wooden bridge has a horizontal ditch a few points lower than the wooden bridge, which is used to jam the ladder used to get on and off the ship, so as to facilitate the crew to get on and off the sea.

Bussie Kahn led Roy and the others towards the far side of the wooden bridge, and said to Roy as he led the way: "There are two ships in the fleet, both of which are in the shape of the Seagull, with a total crew of thirteen people, of which the sea ship docked on the left is the main ship of the fleet, and the cargo ship on the right is the cargo ship. And the main ship is usually stocked with supplies and other things for going to sea......" As the group arrived, Buscekahn stretched out his hand to the main ship on his left and made a gesture of invitation.

Roy looked at it, and then stepped onto the wooden ladder that extended down from the main ship.

This is a whole wood-colored Seagull ship, in Kasagam, the size of the sea ship is divided into four grades, from small to large are the Petrel, the Seagull, the Sea Eagle and the Sea King, of which the Sea Eagle is the largest level of existence among the civilian sea vessels, only some large chambers of commerce with enough financial resources can afford it, and the Seagull because of the large cargo space and appropriate maintenance funds, making the Seagull the first choice for private fleets.

And there are only two Aquaman in Casagam, both of which are military ships of the Kasagam Kingdom, and their huge bodies are almost six times the size of the Seagull, and there are a large number of water magicians on the hull to enchant and strengthen it, which is a very rare and powerful sea ship, and has always been used as a strategic weapon of Casagam, waiting for a step out of the harbor.

As a civilian vessel, the Seagull is about 15 meters long, and some of them are made of paulownia or ebony wood, and after a lot of manipulation, the wood has a strong resistance to the erosion of the sea.

However, in addition to the erosion of seawater on seagoing ships, snails, shellfish and other organisms in the sea will also attach to the bottom of the seagoing ship, slowly eroding the wood at the bottom of the ship, making the bottom of the seagoing ship become a very perishable place, so every time the fishing season, some seagoing ships that have not been corrected for a long time will concentrate on hiring people to clean up the organisms under the ship and replace the rotten ship board during this time.

"This one, called the Unicorn, is my father's inheritance to me, and the ship on the other side is a second-hand ship that I bought with the money I have saved over the years, called the Conch." Buscekarn's voice rang out.

Roy walked up from the wooden ladder and stood on the deck, today's weather is very clear, there are no waves on the sea, standing on the Unicorn and there is no unstable feeling of stepping on it, the whole Unicorn can clearly see that there are traces of careful maintenance, the winch, hemp rope barrel, sails, etc. are firmly fixed on the board with hemp rope, this is a very important habit on the sea, when traveling at sea, once a storm is encountered, in order to prevent people from being swept into the sea by huge waves, it is necessary to tie the human body to the hull with a rope, If there is unsecured cargo or other things, it is easy to cause injuries or even death to the crew due to the scurrying of these things.

The wooden planks on the deck have this variety of wood grains, it can be clearly seen that those are new, those are old, and the surface has been finely brushed with a layer of tung oil, which can well ensure that there will be no seawater or rain inside the ship, on the deck of the sea ship stands a woman, slender, standing with her back to Roy and the others, waist-length long brown hair is scattered to cover her not wide back, and the strange thing is that her feet are bare, just standing on the deck bare, although it is summer in Kasagam, but due to geographical reasons, the current Kasagam is still not suitable for wearing some thin clothes, and this woman seems to have no feeling, just standing barefoot on the deck, although it is the rule for the crew to be barefoot, but that is also when sailing at sea, and now that it has docked in the port, there is no need to be barefoot and cold.

Hearing movement behind her, the woman turned her head and looked in the direction of the wooden ladder to get on the boat, and was stunned when she saw Roy and the others, and then Buscekarn followed Roy and the others and walked up from the wooden ladder.

Seeing Roy looking at the woman in a daze, Bussikan hurriedly explained, "This is the provider of the chart, Gantravi Bilba, who is also the chartmaker I am talking about. ”

Roy looked at the woman named Gantravi Bilba in front of him, the surname Bilba is very rare in Casagam, it seems that only the captain of the Blue Skull Corsair three hundred years ago changed his surname to Bilba, this surname meaning storm at sea, in the eyes of the Casagam people is very unlucky, no one would want to associate with a person named Storm at Sea, especially the crew who went to sea.

And now that there is a woman who openly says that her surname is Bilba, then her true identity is worth playing, in Roy's impression, this Captain Bilba three hundred years ago does not seem to have left a direct heir, at least not in his impression.

Her appearance was very ordinary, her hair was a little messy, and there were severe freckles on both sides of the bridge of her nose, which from a distance were a rosy red patch, which was markedly different from the fairer skin of other places.

Her body is a little short, only a part taller than the Elder Fishman, her bare feet are tightly pressed on the board, and her five toes are very separated, which is a unique sign of the sailors going to sea, and the bare five toes can be separated from the deck to maximize contact with the deck, preventing accidents such as slipping due to the sea water on the deck during the trip.

When it was colder in Casagam, the captain would issue the crew with a magical artifact called the Ragon Rope, which was a consumable made of magic and tied to the ankles to warm the entire lower body of the crew and protect them from the effects of cold weather or sea water.

At sea, wearing shoes is far less useful than barefoot, which can make people slip on the deck, and except for shoes enchanted by magicians, other shoes are far less safe than barefoot.

Seeing that Gantravi was still a little confused, Bucikarn hurriedly greeted Gantravi: "This is the master who bought the fleet, and he will be the owner of the fleet in the future." ”

Gantravi was slightly stunned when she heard Bucikarn's words, and then bent down to Roy and said, "Gantravi has seen the captain. ”
