Chapter 062. Continue the voyage on which we set off
Levi's conversation with Acheson, the vice-captain, in the room didn't last long. The conversation between the smart people www.biquge.info always convenient and concise, and at least the meaning of both sides has been revealed with their conversation. The Ottoman sailors, who were standing and waiting outside the door, saw Levi come out, and immediately walked out with their scimitars, and the surrounding governor's guards only glanced at it, and continued to stand guard with a blank face.
The warm sunshine had appeared in the sky, undisturbed by last night's storm, and the gentle sea breeze was blowing slowly, and the smell with a faint smell of sea also made Levi's heart gradually calm. Slowly turning his head to look at the streets of the surrounding Bal Town, the reorganized militia is still patrolling closely to ensure law and order, and from time to time you can also see a patrol composed of several elite Governor's Guards walking by, obviously compared to these once deceived Bal Town militia, they are the main force that really controls this town.
But the streets were empty without a single pedestrian, the mess after the storm was uncleaned, and the taverns, inns, workshops, and other commercial buildings on both sides were firmly closed, and apart from the patrols that appeared, it did not look like the town of Baal, where the Silver Coast trade flourished, but like the abandoned pit villages in the mountains, full of desolation and decadence, and the uneasiness hidden behind the doors.
The two Ottoman sailors next to him also pursed their lips and looked at the street in front of them, and their hearts were also filled with a little emotion. You must know that they came here with Levi a few days ago to buy barrels of fresh herring and inquire about the local market, but they didn't expect that in just two or three days, this originally quite prosperous town on the Silver Coast was already full of people, and there were hardly any merchants in the rundown, only the troops in charge of martial law were walking.
"Let's go, maybe this business won't be done."
Slowly exhaling a mouthful of stuffy breath in his chest, Levi's fingers were gently rubbing. A ring made of sterling silver was on his hand, and a faint gold thread decoration surrounded the middle of the ring, as if a different kind of mystery was appearing in the gold thread ornament, and even emitted a certain golden light flow with the sunlight. The corners of his mouth curled up with a faint smile, but Li Wei shook his head lightly and said, "It's really getting more and more interesting." ”
It was a token of the Doge's Castle that Acheson had given him, but in Levi's mind, a mysterious system chime told him that the ring was more than that. It is still the woman's voice that sounds quite pleasant to the ear, and the words are as clear as a professional announcer, but if you listen carefully, you can also find the electronic sound effect synthesized like a machine: "Discover an unknown energy source, can it be absorbed and transformed by the system, is it transformed?" ”
"Reject conversion." Without any hesitation, Levi rejected the prompt tone from the system. With 1,000 points of energy reserved, he is not short of energy to recruit warships now, and even now, even for more advanced warships and more sailors, there is not much demand. More ships would not help Levi either, because in reality, ships that need to be maintained and maintained, as well as sailors who eat and drink, can drag him to bankruptcy.
However, in his collection, there is also the wooden disc that the vice-captain Acheson asked about just now, which is also a magical item that can be absorbed by the system. Although Levi still doesn't know what kind of absorbent items the system needs, he has also discovered a rule, that is, as long as it contains gold and that kind of arcane ornament, it is definitely needed by the system. But not necessarily, for example, the cigarette lighter that the elder Morton once shown, has no point in absorbing.
Of course, all this is still in the pondering stage, maybe after coming into contact with the mysterious mages in the group of mage towers, or the high-level nobles of Gray Mist City, Li Wei will be able to get some more useful clues. Walking out of the wooden gates of Baal, the Governor's Guard was still strictly guarding the only way to enter and exit, and the outside of the log-bound wall, patrols armed with halberds and crossbows, everything was so cautious and strict.
Still walking down the rough road down the hill, the Dvo merchant ships and heavy gales were still docked at the docks, and the humble wooden house of old Harvey stood alone. But now there is no old Harvey, who collects the wharf management fee, and there are no merchant ships that used to be the occasional appearance, and even the fishermen have disappeared, just as the whole town of Barr has been ruined in an instant.
The faint smell of food fills the ship, and in the galleys of both ships, the temporary chefs are busy preparing breakfast for the sailors who have already wiped down the decks. The sailors, who had been busy all morning, finally had a little free time of their own, and gathered together to tell jokes, but listening to their topic, it was still related to the tense and exciting battle of the previous night.
"Captain Levi, it doesn't seem like there was any torture, but it looks like something is wrong with your expression?"
First mate Green and Captain Hall were standing in the bow of the Devoe merchant ship talking when they saw Levi and the two Ottoman sailors coming to the dock, and stopped talking about it and walked towards the planks that served as ladders on the outboard of the ship. However, the calm first mate Green quickly noticed a little solemnity in Levi's expression, and couldn't help but glance at Hall next to him, and asked with some doubts: "Got in trouble?" ”
"After breakfast, it looks like we're going back to Grey Mist City again." Shrugging, Levi also showed a helpless expression. He didn't have much reservation about the two captains recruited by the system, and directly told all the conversations between himself and the vice-captain Acheson. Compared to him, a half-hung captain, Hall and Green in front of him are real captains who have lived on the ocean for most of their lives, and the advice they can give him is genuine experience.
However, after listening to Levi's description, the faces of Green and Hale were already solemn, the legendary mage tower that only existed in the outer harbor of Gray Mist City was much more mysterious than those nobles. At least they had seen decent gentlemen and high nobles, but the mages they had actually seen had never been the slightest impression except last night. Now that they are inexplicably standing opposite the mysterious group of mages, it is really a headache to think about.
"So it's troublesome."
Levi shook his head helplessly, looking at the already blocked Bal Town, he had already gotten no more information from Acheson, and now there seemed to be no more way to go back to Grey Mist City. However, Levi's brows also slowly furrowed, thinking of the young face who had been friends with him before, he also exhaled a long breath, nodded to Green and Hall, and said, "At least we have to let old Morton know about the confession of that little Celli guy." ”
"Little Celli." First Officer Green also sighed slowly, he had come to this world to follow Levi earlier, and of course he also knew Little Cellly, the steward of the Sea Lance Tavern on the Silver Coast. If it weren't for the drowning believers, maybe they would still be drinking ale and laughing with each other, but the person who should have been friends now is now afraid to say the name of that person because of some kind of conspiracy.
"Breakfast is ready, my dear brothers, it's time for dinner!"
Just as Levi's face was heavy, the chef sailor who was still wearing an apron came up from the stairs of the cabin, waving the long-handled soup spoon in his hand and looking at the sailors who were sitting together in twos and threes, and also shouted loudly with a smile on his face. Levi also turned his head to look over, patted the non-existent dust on his arm, and nodded to First Officer Green and Captain Hall, "Prepare and prepare, we will go back to Gray Mist City after breakfast." ”
"Understood." The two nodded, talked to each other for a few words, and then parted. They are all substantive managers, generally Levi is all delegated to the two of them for these trivial matters of life, at least these trivial things Levi does not need to manage, and for high-intensity battles and commodity trading, Hall and Green are also experienced old captains. Now Levi is still in the learning stage, and with the assistance of the two, he has become a real captain, and even a fleet commander.
