Hearing this, Sha Fei twisted her flexible posture, swirled around the sea, and swam towards An Rui with a smile.

The Ice Tide Dragon then emerged from the surface of the sea, shook its head, and shook the water droplets on An Rui's face.

An Rui took the bag from the back of the Ice Dragon, untied the rope, and looked inside. There are more than a dozen pieces of blue ore in the bag, large and small, and the harvest is quite rich.

"This is the Deep Sea Iron, right?" Shafi asked, looking down at the blue ore in the bag.

"Well, this is the deep sea iron, and we rely on it to forge our cannons." Anrui reached out and took out a piece of ore from the bag and handed it to Shafi to take a look.

"It's beautiful." Shafi lifted the deep-sea essence iron and sighed as she looked at the brilliant light refracted on it.

"When you mix it with other metals and cast it into a cannon, there will be a lot of blue lines on the cannon, and those lines are really beautiful." An Rui said with a smile.

After showing Shafi the Iron of the Deep, Anrui rode onto the back of the Ice Dragon and swam to Bereg, who was still fluttering on the beach. Swimming to the beach, he threw the bag ashore, then jumped back into the water, made a cameo as a swimming instructor, and taught Berego some swimming essentials, such as not having to be too big to ventilate and relaxing his body.

After all, Berego is an elven archer, with developed motor nerves, and he still learns to swim very quickly, and with a little practice, he has already swam decently.

After resting on the shore for a while, Anrui returned to the deep sea and continued to dig for the deep-sea iron.

Time passed quietly in the process of hammering and beating, and days passed in the blink of an eye.

With Anrui's hard excavation, more and more deep-sea iron was dug up, transported to the shore, and piled up into a small mountain, exceeding the target.

During the excavation, it has been smooth sailing, and there has been no major trouble, except for a small episode.

One afternoon, Anrui bumped into Shafi sunbathing, applying sunscreen to her sun-colored skin. On a whim, An Rui came up to report his courage to help Sha Fei apply sunscreen, and the idea of fighting was naturally self-evident. Sha Fei's face suddenly became embarrassed, and she politely declined the matter, making An Rui touch his nose.

Other than that, nothing special ever happened.

There is enough iron in the deep sea, not only can it be used to forge cannons, but the rest can be exchanged for some gold coins, and the value of this ore is very high.

An Rui drove the carriage and returned with a full load, leaving his own traces along the way, and returned to Iron Cannon Harbor in the dust.

After a brief rest, Anrui went directly to the Steel Hammer shipyard with the deep-sea iron and delivered it to the shipbuilder Jia Wei.

"Stinky boy, you're really procrastinating, and you've only been delaying until now to send the Deep Sea Essence Iron. Your ship was completed the day before yesterday, and the cannon is not yet ready. Javi looked at the bag full of deep-sea essence iron and muttered.

"Really? Already built? Take me to see it! Anrui said excitedly. He didn't worry a lot about this new ship, and now that he had finally built it, he couldn't be happier.

"Come with me. Let you see the masterpiece of this master. Javi waved and walked ahead.

An Rui and his two companions followed, and the group set off for the docks, where they saw the new ship. Everyone stopped in unison, held their breath, and looked at the new ship docked in the dock. Even though they'd seen it many times before, this time it looked like something completely different.

The previous "she" was only a half-finished product, but now it is completed, and only a few cannons are installed.

She was thirty yards long, nearly forty yards, and her slender figure looked like that of a nimble boat. The wood of the hull is a ochre red, one of the colors commonly used in sailboats. At the bow of the ship, there is a bow statue made of the keel of a red wurm, with the dragon's head in front and a large mouth, which looks menacing, and part of the keel extends out and is fixed to the hull, which looks like the skeleton of the hull.

Above the bow of the ship, a thick thundering demon tree rammed out of its horns. This thing is not an ornament, it can be used in naval battles, it can be used to ram enemy ships and knock them through! There are some sturdy and light ships that are designed to fight in this way.

A mainmast stretched out from the front of the ship, piercing into the sky, and it looked so tall and powerful. There is a circle of rolled canvas on the crossbar, and the snow-white canvas contains a lot of black ** spider silk, which was exchanged by Anrui in bloody fighting.

The gun doors on the hull were all closed, and even if they were opened, it would be useless, and the cannons had not yet been built, and they were all empty inside.

In addition to the cannons, the ship lacks one crucial thing - the name!

There was a place on the bow side dedicated to carving her name, but it was empty at this time, waiting for her master to name her.

"It looks awesome." Shafi sighed.

"Pay attention to the wording, it's 'she' and not 'it', and this way of calling a sailboat can reflect the unique affection of the sailors for sailboats." Javi reminded him. As a master shipbuilder, he attaches great importance to this aspect of things.

"It's good, I remember, it's 'her'." Shafi laughed.

"An Rui, as long as the cannon is installed, she can go into the water." Javi turned his head to look at An Rui, "As her master, it's time for you to come up with a good name for her." ”

"Okay, I'll think of a good name for her when I go back, and I'll let you know when I think of it, so you can engrave your name on her." Anrui nodded, but his eyes remained on the new ship with nostalgia. His mood was surging like the waves of the sea, and it would not be long before he would be able to sail into the bosom of the sea in his own boat.

By the time An Rui and his party left the Steel Hammer Shipyard, it was already night. The night fell, and it was dotted with countless stars, and the stars twinkled endlessly, like the eyes of the gods, looking at the mortal world.

"Have you figured out what you're going to call your new ship?" Shafi asked casually as she walked down the streets in the dark of night.

"I've got a few ideas, but I haven't figured out what I'm going to call them." An Rui shrugged.

"Tell me, I'll help you with your ideas."

"For me, this ship is a new starting point in my life, and I have the heart to call her 'The Beginning'."

"The starting point? Not bad. ”

"I think it's average, it sounds too mild, and the name of the ship should be more distinctive, a little more domineering." Berego chimed in.

"Well, I feel that way too, so I'm not sure I want to use the ship's name yet. The bow of this ship seems to be made of keels, and I'm a dragon warrior, so why don't I call it 'Dragon Horn'?" An Rui asked.

"This one is at least much better than the last one." Berego nodded.

Everyone started a round on the naming matter, you said a word to me, but the last one couldn't finalize what the name was, and the last one had to give up. Anyway, it will take many days to cast the cannon, so there is a lot of time to think slowly.

This ship has an extraordinary meaning for Anrui, and it should not be taken lightly, but should be given a good name that is satisfactory.

The next day, An Rui took the rest of the deep-sea essence iron to find Cheryl, a fair-skinned and beautiful businesswoman, and planned to sell it to the other party. Since you want to sell, of course, you have to find a businessman like Cheryl who knows the roots, and Cheryl is mainly engaged in the business of minerals, which is just the right match.

Cheryl was obviously a knowledgeable merchant, and when she saw the deep-sea iron, she immediately recognized it and made a corresponding valuation.

"These deep-sea refined iron are worth about three hundred and twenty gold coins." Cheryl carried the heavy bag and estimated.

"The odds can be removed, as long as three hundred gold coins, these deep-sea refined iron are all yours." Anrui said generously. The last time he met Brent and his gang on the street, Cheryl helped him out, and he still remembered this kindness, and he was happy to take the opportunity to repay it a little.

"If you have a bargain, you don't take advantage of it, and if you are not a qualified businessman, three hundred gold coins will be three hundred gold coins."

"Hehe, you're happy to agree."

"I've always been happy to talk about a business that doesn't lose money." Cheryl grabbed a small piece of deep-sea iron from the bag and looked at it carefully, "From the outside, these ores should have just been dug up. ”

"Yes." Anrui admitted.

"Could it be...... Have you found a vein of deep sea iron ore? Cheryl played with the ore in her hand, vaguely guessing, and looked at Anrui meaningfully. She clearly remembered An Rui's ability to find ore veins, and the ore veins that An Rui found a few days ago had helped her make a lot of money.

An Rui and Cheryl looked at each other, their pupils constricted a few times, and they figured out each other's careful thoughts. This reminded him that he actually had something more valuable in his hands than the Deep Sea Refined Iron itself, that is, the veins of the Deep Sea Refined Iron!

Anyway, he didn't plan to mine on this vein for a long time, and this vein was located in the deep sea, which was not conducive to excavation, so he could just make a favor and sell it to Cheryl. In this way, both of them are profitable.

"Yes, I've found a vein of deep sea iron ore, are you interested?" An Rui asked with a smile.

"Interested, very interested." Cheryl said brightly.

"The deep-sea iron ore veins are definitely located in the deep sea, but they are not so easy to mine."

"It's really hard to mine, but there's always a way to dig it up."

"That's just as well." An Rui nodded, and continued, "The ore vein I found is not big, it is not small, if it is all dug up, it can be sold for at least 20,000 gold coins, which is a considerable amount." ”

"It's a lot of money, but if you dig it out on a large scale, you'll get the attention of the local governor, who will collect heavy taxes. Coupled with the cost of manpower and material resources, it would be good if the remaining net profit could be 10,000 gold coins. "Cheryl deliberately lowered the value of this vein a bit, which was obviously good for her.

"Ten thousand gold coins is also not a small amount." An Rui smiled, but did not argue with it.

"Yes, it's still a lot of money, so you can make an offer and I'm willing to buy this vein at a 'proper' price." Cheryl bites the word "appropriate" hard.

An Rui touched his chin and thought for a while, if someone else bought this vein, he would definitely open his mouth, but in the face of Cheryl, it was better to offer a generous price.

"Two thousand gold coins." An Rui took a deep breath and said an astronomical price for the poor.
