Chapter 69: Eleven Dwarfs
When Kitagawa climbed up the rope ladder to the ship, he really realized how big this 'sea giant' really was...
It's just that the deck is wide enough to accommodate two horse-drawn wagons, at least eight of which can travel side by side! Not to mention the five huge masts on that deck that are tens of meters high...
By the way, this mast is not a whole log like the Sukhbaatar, these masts of the 'Sea Giant' are made of huge logs, and you can still see traces of jointing when you stand close to the depths...
Dozens of ballistas were neatly arranged on both sides of the ship's side, and the stout crossbow bolts with bright iron tips were placed on one side, looking very intimidating. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info And just on the bow of the ship there was a huge ballista mounted on the bow, which was three times the size of the usual size. A pair of symmetrical stirring wheels mounted on the giant ballista seemed to Beichuan to be used for winding. However, it is not as simple as a crossbow bolt to load ammunition like this big guy, and those stone balls stacked on the side are the real ammunition of this big guy.
Look at the stone ball that is about a meter in diameter, if any ship is hit by this thing, then I'm afraid the whole ship will be more than lucky...
"Hello! I'm Jack and I want to see your first mate. Mr. Laurent..."
As soon as he got on board, Jack approached the sailor on board, and it seemed as if there had been an agreement, and the sailor immediately became respectful when he heard Jack's name.
"First Officer Laurent has instructed that he will take you directly to the bottom warehouse when he sees you, and he has put all the 'things' you want there..."
The fat man was a little embarrassed, and after getting on the boat, he didn't even see the face of the main man.
He hurriedly asked, "Isn't Mr. Laurent going to see me?" β
"Huh! Mr. First Officer is very busy right now, and I'm afraid I don't have time to see you. Please come with me! The 'stuff' you want isn't going to be safe there! β
The sailor laughed with him, but how did he look at how Beichuan felt that this guy was laughing a little impatiently.
And the fat guy is also a sensible person, and when he saw that the first mate didn't care about him, he didn't dwell on this matter.
The sailor led the way, so he took Beichuan and the three of them followed the sailor to the interior of the 'sea giant'.
The group descended a spiral staircase built against a mast, which winded its way down the stout mast to the bottom of the ship.
As he walked, Kitagawa was amazed by the intricate structure of the interior of the 'Sea Giant', where almost every detail was incorporated into the designer's thoughts.
If nothing else is mentioned, let's talk about this lighting first,
In this boat, the interior lighting turned out to be the use of a glowing fish, which they kept in a tank that was transparent on all sides, and then fixed the tank to the corners where the light was needed, so as to illuminate.
Of course, there are still a few places where oil lamps and candles are lit...
Elsewhere, the details are perfect, with luxurious dΓ©cor, very different interior structures, and peculiar layouts. Beichuan even thought that this might not be a ship at all, but a villa, a villa galloping on the sea...
The fat man walking beside Beichuan saw Beichuan's stunned appearance and said with a smile:
"Hey, hey! Don't be surprised, because the Sea Giant itself is not actually a 'battleship' in the traditional sense, the gadgets on the deck are just to add a little bit of deterrence when needed, and if you look closely, you may find that the ship is not equipped with ramming angles at all. β
"I didn't pay attention to this, why is there something else special about this 'Sea Giant'?"
"That's because the ship can't be used for melee combat at all, and the Sea Giant's huge hull can carry more weapons, but it's also more vulnerable. So this ship was built by the 'Explorer' brigade for long-range combat! It's the unmatched speed and the giant ballista on the bow of the ship! β
"Giant ballistas? I've noticed this just now, and I've never seen a ballista that big on the bow of a ship...", Lancet said
"Don't think that the ballista is just big, its power should not be underestimated! A normal ballista that can shoot 200 meters is considered a good texture, but this special ballista modified by a certain master can easily throw those stone balls into the sea 400 meters away! With this thing, the sea giant can sink the enemy completely outside the opponent's range. β
At this time, the group had already walked to the door of a cell in the bottom warehouse,
The sailor who was walking in front suddenly turned back and said: "Gentlemen! When you arrive, the 'thing' you want is inside, and this is the key. If it's okay, I'll go first. β
I left as if I was running away...
Kitagawa looked around and saw that there was no glowing fish tank here, and it was pitch black, except for a dilapidated oil lamp next to the cell door in front of him.
The fat man took the key from the sailor, but handed it to Beichuan and said, "The person you want..."
Beihuan hesitated for a moment, why did this fat man give people a strange feeling since he walked here, and so did the sailor just now! I actually fled, and immediately after handing over the key...
"Can Mr. Blackjack tell me what's in here?"
The fat man said with an inexplicable look on his face: "Open it first!" Open it and you'll know..."
Seeing the fat man say this, Beichuan gritted his teeth and took a step forward, stood in front of the cell door and inserted the key into the keyhole...
"Click!"
With a crisp sound, the cell door was opened...
And then---
Nothing happened.
......
When Beichuan turned his head to look at the fat man Black Jack suspiciously, he didn't want to see Lancet and Rama who hurriedly retreated with a surprised face.
The next second...
Hula, a large black shadow emerges from the prison door...
And the person who turned his head to the back didn't see what was happening at all, and in the blink of an eye, he was pushed to the ground by the group of black shadows, and then he immediately felt that his limbs were being dragged by something and could not move, and something quickly touched him---after a chill, he could clearly feel the few hard gold coins he had carried in his pocket before losing his senses...
"Stop! What are you doing? Kitagawa shouted in anger.
He was anxious and angry, but no one paid attention to him at all, except for the fat man standing far away and laughing, including Lancet, who was still by his side before, and the slave immediately withdrew a few feet away...
Finally, after a period of chaos, the group of short black shadows finally appeared...
Is this a dwarf? Midget?
When Beichuan saw it clearly, he immediately felt that the whole person was not good! Not because of anything else! Just Nima! There are six or seven of them on his little body! And there are constantly people who want to pull off their bodies and climb up on their own...
Just as he was about to get these guys down, Kitagawa suddenly heard the guy holding his right leg speak.
"Hey! Guys, I think this leg should be made into a barbecue, what do you think? β
"Fuck! Ghost dick! That's your leg! I'm going to braise this left leg! β
A voice rang out.
At this time, there was a guy who found that he didn't grab any part of Kitagawa's body, 'Plop! 'Hit the ground with a bang!' Sit down, 'Wow! Then he cried: "You all have meat to eat, and there is no mine, 555..."
"Don't cry! Little Nine! Come brother, share your fingers! A guy who hung his whole body on Kitagawa's arm beckoned to him.
"Really? Thank you so much, third brother! β
After that, the dwarf who was still sitting on the ground and crying just now got up and bit Beichuan's little finger with a single leap.
"Ah~"
The dwarf named 'Xiao Jiu' has quite good teeth, and when he bites this bite, Beichuan only feels that his finger bones are about to break.
The other few who didn't climb up immediately screamed when they saw that 'Xiao Jiu' had successfully obtained a finger in the hand of the 'third child'.
"Third brother! Neither do we..."
The guy on his arm scratched his head with one free hand, and then said, "I still have four fingers that are only enough for four people, but five of you are not enough!" β
Beichuan was anxious when he heard this, where is this group of slaves, it is simply a group of cannibals!
"Lancet! Come and help me get out of the way! β
At the moment when Beichuan shouted, the guy holding his left leg also spoke up: "'Third Brother' is fine!" I still have toes! Definitely enough points..."
However, this group of dwarves didn't take Beichuan seriously at all, and instead kept discussing how to divide him up...
"Hmm! That's enough, I'll find my knife later, I'll have to kill him first! It's too noisy! β
"Yes, yes!" The rest of the dwarfs replied with a bang.
At this moment, the fat man, who had been standing aside and watching for a long time, finally spoke.
I only heard the fat man scold and scolded: "You bunch of garbage! If you still want to get out, let him go immediately. He's the one who paid for you! β
