Chapter 53: The Flying Fish

With the miraculous appearance of the Sea Fortress under the watchful eye, the prelude to the departure began.

In addition to the donkey, Morey's party was a total of one hundred and twelve people, oh no, now there was one more person, and in order to earn that 50 gold daily wage job, Gou De also joined Morey's team as a special adviser. A total of one hundred and thirteen people were now guided by the staff of the Gold Coin Auction House to the armed merchant ship named the Exocet.

The Exocet was given this name because of its slender appearance that resembles a Spitfish. It is a merchant ship that travels to and from various port cities on the east coast and is part of the Jedis Chamber of Commerce.

It is said that it is an armed merchant ship, but in fact, this Flying Fish has only made some improvements after buying back the third-class battleships that have been "eliminated" because of their "oldness".

The Exocet has two gun decks, 54 guns, a crew of about 350 people, and a displacement of more than 1,000 tons. Ships of this class are cheap to build (26,000 gold each) and have a smaller crew (350 people). Compared with the first-class capital battleships of ordinary maritime countries, the Exocet is indeed inferior in firepower and is not suitable for fleet decisive battles, but against pirate ships that generally only have one artillery deck, it is already a powerful force warship that is enough to crush them.

And the main ability of the Exocet is not in the attack, speed is the killer feature of the Exocet. After activating the rune circle burned on the bottom of the ship, it becomes a light cavalry at sea, using its high speed to directly tear through the enemy's defenses, opening a clear path for the following troops.

The Flying Fish recently happened to trade in the Emerald City, and then it was knocked unconscious by the people of the Vorgold Church with gold coins, and they went out to sea with the people and ships to suppress the bandits.

Of course, in addition to Morey's 100 or so people, there are also two groups of personnel who are also on the Exocet.

One group is a mercenary squad composed entirely of warriors called the "North Wind Band". There were only six of them, and the brown-haired lad, who was noticeably taller than everyone else, was the most noticeable, and to the name of his companion, he was supposed to be Max. A flash of light in Morey's eyes quickly swirled, lingering on Max for a few more moments before he looked away.

The other group is a professional team with complete tactics, but looking at the appearance of these dozen or so people guarding the old and the young as soon as they get on the boat, and don't ask about the rest of the things, it doesn't look like they came to suppress bandits, this is a rich boy with bodyguards to travel!

Except for the ordinary sailors and gunners, all the other unrelated personnel on the Exocet remained on shore. This was able to stuff nearly 150 more people, and this was the result of the removal of the artillery on the second floor.

In this way, the long-range firepower of the Exocet was weakened, and it was already similar to that of an ordinary armed merchant ship.

But according to Prager, the Woching Church pursues one person to be more powerful and overwhelming others. If there is really a fight, the fleet directly under the Wojin Church led by the Sea Fortress can beat all the pirates within a radius of thousands of miles.

Dealing with those behind the scenes after that is where Morey really comes into play.

"Hello, Baron Morey. I'm Wade. Goldman, it's an honor to meet you! ”

Although Morey only glanced at it, the man dressed as the old butler came to him with a smile as if he had received some signal.

"Wade takes the liberty of interrupting, as the steward of the Rose family, I represent Gary. Master Ross, I sincerely invite you to lunch. Wade said as he handed over the invitation.

Do you want to be so stylish, everyone is so close, I can see the lip print under your collar, don't you just say it yourself? Actually let his housekeeper hand over the invitation, isn't this a typical playboy style?

But slander is slander, and Morey still accepted the invitation with a smile.

"Balta, do you have an impression of this Ross family?" Although he glanced at the round family crest embroidered on the cuffs of the Wade butler, Morey still did not search for the opposite family in his mind. Sandakol is a sign that the gods will not deliberately recognize these human nobles, while Sandru is a typical otaku, except for spells and corresponding knowledge, the rest of the common sense is not much better than that of the newcomers who have just gone out.

"I'm sorry, young master. I really haven't heard of the Ross family. Balta thought for a moment and then said, "But when I hear their accents, they don't look like people from the east, but like from the southern part of the continent." ”

Morey nodded, although Ire is a legendary warlock, but after becoming famous, his main activities are in the east, and there are many people who have offended here. As long as the Ross family is not a potential enemy, then it doesn't matter if you get in touch.

Reception of Morey, Gary. Naturally, Rose wouldn't be in his own cramped cabin. Wade just threw a bag of gold coins over and rented the captain's room.

Even on a merchant ship, Wade dressed the ship's most spacious captain's cabin like "Blue", the most upscale restaurant in the Emerald City. On a table covered with silk tablecloths, delicate crystal cups and gilded cutlery glisten in the sunlight from the window, while a band plays soothing music in an inconspicuous corner.

Stepping on the thick camel hair carpet, Morey, who has always been a thrifty "housekeeper", seems to have the illusion of being at an aristocratic drinking party.

"Baron Morey, this way, please!" Gary who has been waiting here for a long time. Rose rose to greet him.

With a crisp bell, all kinds of dishes are poured out. There are many things that Morey has never seen, although he may have taken care of Morey's serving a veal steak, but the main dish is fresh seafood as the main course, accompanied by some vegetable and fruit snacks.

The typical southern aristocratic diet, especially the bottle of "Hermit" red wine from Galina Winery, which costs 100 gold coins, confirmed Morey's judgment.

This Galina winery is in a small principality in the south of the continent, the production is scarce, and only a few cases of "hermits" flow into the Emerald City every year, but usually before it enters the market, it will be covered by the three major families of the royal capital.

Gary. Ross talks well, some palace secrets, old allusions, and a pair of clever mouths, which are interesting. Originally, Morey was a bit clumsy in comparison, but Gary. Rose always inadvertently leads the conversation to the magical realm that Morey is familiar with, but the two seem to be talking happily and answering each other fluently.

After this exchange, Morey couldn't help but say to this Gary. Ross was a little more favorable.

"Baron Morey, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable at such a young age, it seems that you have a family history!" Gary. Rose didn't expect Morey's spell knowledge to be so deep, and he was ready for Morey's words, but he didn't expect this Morey to have real material in his stomach, it seems that his decision was correct.

Naturally, Morey would not say that he had the help of the blood moon, and accepted these compliments with a smile.

"This is a little gift from me, I know that Baron Morey's soul has been traumatized before, and this [Bloodborne Holy Grail] can slowly heal soul trauma when taken for a long time, and I hope Morey you don't refuse!" Gary. Rose shoved an open square box over.

Morey just looked at it, and the golden wine glass encrusted with red gems immediately caught his attention.

Name: Bloodborne

Quality: Legendary

Weight: 1 lb

Requirements: Caster

Effect:

1. By casting spells through the blood condensed in the cup, your spell level is +1

2. Drink the blood in the cup and restore your life, the effect is equivalent to [Advanced Recovery]

3. Carrying the Holy Grail for a long time can slowly repair the soul wound of the bearer.

4. The holy blood in the cup will re-condense every morning.

"It's an ancient relic"

He involuntarily picked it up and found that there was indeed a ball of purple blood in the cup, which was sticky and coagulated like jelly. Even if Morey tilted the cup, the holy blood was firmly stuck to the bottom of the cup, and it didn't seem to flow out at all.

"This gift is too valuable, Gary, you better take it back!" Although Morey also wants it, this is a legend when he first meets, and Morey is a little afraid of holding a prick.

"Hehe, Morey, you just take it. Recently, the family will tilt its focus to the Holy Spear Kingdom in the near future, and I'm just here to make a front stop, and I'll ask you for a lot of help when the time comes! Gary was very happy to hear that Morey had finally removed the "young master" in "Young Master Gary", and stuffed the [Bloodborne Holy Grail] into Morey's hand.

Morey was really reluctant to hold this treasure in his hand and his soul with a faint coolness, so he accepted it after a while.

If there is something else, Morey has to think about it. But everyone is doing this thing, and the Pomler family also sent a legendary necklace before, and it is nothing to receive an extra legendary chalice by himself.

"Young Master, why do you put so much thought into this person? The [Bloodborne Holy Grail] is not easy for the master to ask for for you. ”

Wade was a little incomprehensible, after all, the effect of this [Bloodborne Holy Grail] in restoring soul trauma was only a little, but the rest of the functions were for Gary, who was a blood warlock. Ross was more helpful.

"Wade, you said that if I had received his full help, what would have been the outcome of that trial in the family?" Gary didn't answer Wade's words and asked another question.

"He? It would have been fine if his talent had not been damaged before, but now ......" Wade didn't continue, but Gary understood what he meant.

"What if his talent is restored?"

"Young Master got the news?" Wade was not surprised, as the young master of the main family, there would always be some special channels, so even as a personal butler, it was impossible for him to know everything.

"Of course not, I'm just a gentleman who only knows how to spend money, how can I have inside information about the family to me. The brother who should have told me to inform me is. Gary took the wine off his shoulder and drank the red wine in his hand.

"That young master is ......"

"There were people who said before that he was a waste, and it was impossible for him to awaken to become a professional in this life. It's only been a long time, a few months to go from a mage apprentice to an intermediate 'waste', whether you have seen it or not, young master, I have never heard of it! Gary said, but his eyes grew more and more excited.

"Oh? With that said, his potential may be slowly recovering. Young master, maybe you can return to the top! The more Wade spoke, the more excited he became, and the more proud Gary became. Originally, I came to the Holy Spear Kingdom just to avoid the limelight and distract myself, how could I have thought of encountering such a good thing.

"Wade, now you can help me do the math, now I have to compete for the position of the head of the family, what are the odds?"

Hearing this, Wade's eyes kept flashing with various runes, as if he had entered a state of supercomputing.

"At the current rate, not counting Morey's re-becoming a warlock, he can enter the legendary mage within twenty years, become the young master's arm, and increase the young master's victory rate by 1.5 percentage points. If all his qualifications are restored, I think that in ten years at most, he will not only be able to enter the legend, but even dominate the Far East, counting the Snow Barbarian King who may reconnect, at least he can increase your victory rate by 4.1 percentage points, young master. ”

"Now, do you still think that I lost what I just sent?" Gary always felt that he was missing something in his hands now, maybe it was the cooling treasure of the Orient in the mouth of the bard?

"Hehe, young master is wise!"
