Chapter Eighty-Nine: A New Ship
Leaving the shipyard, the three of them walked in the direction pointed by the boss again.
"Don't you think you should buy some gifts, Captain? Where is there a free hand to visit others. Liu Zheng looked at Raphael, who was walking forward, and said helplessly.
A word woke up the dreamer, Raphael touched his head embarrassedly, "Oops, I was carried away by the new ship, hehe." Let's go buy a gift now. Uncle Flio, what do you think is a good purchase? ”
Frio thought for a moment, pointed to a nautical shop in front of him and said, "Let's go buy a compass." ”
As an old sailor, experienced, as long as you like sailing, there is no one who does not like the compass.
When I entered the store, the boss greeted me warmly, "What do you want to buy?" Our shop is 30 years old and all the goods are inspected by sailors. ”
Flio and Raphael picked up the compass, and Liu Zhengze casually looked at it in the store.
This shop is worthy of an old store, and it is very well stocked.
There are binoculars, sextants, bow images, logbooks, knives and other commonly used nautical equipment, and even a few red cross flags on white ground.
Is there a Red Cross in this world? Liu Zheng was a little surprised, so he asked the boss.
"Oh, that's the St. George's flag." The boss replied, by the way.
Legend has it that a knight named St. George killed an evil dragon, and the dragon's blood flowed to the ground, forming a cross shape.
In the flag of the sea, the St. George flag is a blood-red pennant, and raising it is a sign that the opponent will fight to the death and will not back down.
The red pennant is the epitome of the martial spirit on the sea.
I see, the interesting knowledge increased, and he nodded.
Just as he was about to see what else was fun, his instinct was suddenly struck.
"Huh?" He looked at the St. George's flags.
He didn't find anything abnormal, but his intuition was refined countless times between life and death, and it was unlikely that he would touch it by mistake.
After thinking about it, he tried to let out his momentum and pressed towards the St. George flags.
His actions seemed to anger a certain being, and a faint but determined momentum resisted Liu Zheng's momentum.
Got it!
Liu Zheng walked over and reached out and grabbed a St. George flag.
The hands and flags touched, and Liu Zheng's eyes were in a trance, as if he saw a knight on a horse, charging at him with a spear.
"It's good to come!" The dragon blood in Liu Zheng's body boiled, and he pushed it out with one palm, like a huge dragon claw, grabbing the knight and the horse together.
"Zheng!" Only after the sound of gold and iron sounded in the spiritual world, the knight and the horse disappeared, and only a drop of blood in the palm of Liu Zheng's hand proved that they had come.
"The player defeated the machine spirit and got the right to use the item."
"Item Name: St. George's Banner"
"Item Level: Rank C"
"Item Effects: Inspiration (increases team morale), Holiness (purifies the team's mental state), Dragon Slayer (increases damage to dragon creatures), Hymn to Courage (comprehensively improves the team's physical fitness, requires the approval of the machine spirit)"
"Number of uses: Mission worlds can be used once every three days for one hour (sea use only). The real world can be used once a week for half an hour. ”
Finally picked up a prop, and the effect is very good, Liu Zheng is very happy.
Although he has obtained two A-level props, they are all born and died, and there is no comparison with this kind of happiness like winning the lottery.
"Boss, how much is this?" Liu Zheng asked.
"Oh, that's fine for 5 credits." The boss glanced at it and said casually.
Half of Gertrude's consultation fee, but it's expensive, but it's not expensive.
The materials for this flag are still very good, and they have been treated with antiseptics, which is barely a fair price.
Choosing and choosing, Raphael chose a gold-plated compass, which was exquisitely shaped, and the structure and scale were also very exquisite, and it had both artistic value and practical value.
Of course, the price is also very expensive, spending 3 gold coins, which is equivalent to the cost of a medium family for a year.
When they arrived at the inn, they let the boss report it, and soon the hostess brought the three of them to Janas's room.
There was a knock on the door, and there was a "Please come in" from inside.
The trio rushed in.
The room was huge, and there was even a small parlor where Jenas sat on the couch and waited for them.
Jenas looked young, with pale blonde hair and glasses, and looked polite.
"You may be seated, gentlemen." Jenas gestured, his tone did not match his appearance.
"Mr. Jenas, I am Raphael of the Castello family. This is my first mate, Freo, and boatswain Wallace. Raphael introduced himself.
He was not a die-hard, and although he longed for independence, he also knew how to use his family's reputation wisely.
"It turned out to be the young master of the Castello family, what are you looking for me?" Jenas asked.
"That's right, I'd like to buy that three-masted multi-sail Karak you have custom-built." Raphael said straight to the point.
"Are the Castellos going to get involved in the nautical business?" Jenas wondered.
"No, it's my personal thoughts." Raphael shook his head and said.
"Raphael, I've put a lot of effort into this ship, and even the structure is designed by myself. I can't allow it to be handed over to someone else. What are you going to use to convince me? Jenas looked at Raphael with questioning eyes.
"Mr. Jenas, my father has always disapproved of me going to sea. I failed three times in business, and the sailors mutinied and took my ship. After being herded into the boat, I also encountered pirates, storms, and even the legendary Isle of the Damned. Raphael said slowly.
Jenas's expression kept changing, and he was even more shocked when he heard about the Island of the Damned.
"But I survived, and I longed to go to sea again." Raphael's tone is not high, but he has an extremely firm momentum.
"How did you escape from the Isle of the Damned?" Jenas asked curiously.
Raphael looked at Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng coughed twice and briefly said what he could say.
"Incredible, incredible. It turns out that there really are evil gods in the world. And you, Lord Wallace, have accomplished the great cause of defeating the evil gods. This is the same feat as the legendary St. George slaying the dragon. Jenas exclaimed sincerely.
Liu Zheng accepted it calmly, anyway, the record was not blown.
"You are worthy of this ship, Captain Raphael. I believe that you and your sailors can be great voyagers. My only request is that I would like to join you on your voyage. Jenas stood up and lowered his head to his chest.
"That's wonderful, Mr. Jenas." Raphael was pleasantly surprised.
Jernas had already paid a deposit of 2,000 gold coins, and after knowing that Raphael's funds were not sufficient, he offered to use the deposit to buy shares, and the terms were similar to Gertrude's.
In the name of the Castello family, the shipyard owner agreed to make preparations for the handover of the ship first, and then pay when it was officially launched.
The main configuration on the ship is basically enough.
Captain Raphael, First Officer Flio, Second Officer Wolfheart, Boatswain Liu Zheng, Ship Doctor Gertrude, Cook and Doctor Assistant Anna, Carpenter and Master Jackas.
All that remains is to recruit about twenty more sailors, including a part-time cook and a part-time barber.
Drawing on the experience of Renard's rebellion, Frio was strict in his selection of sailors this time, all of whom were innocent or retired from the navy.
It would have been not easy to recruit such sailors, but Gertrude's fame played an unexpected role.
When he learned that the best doctor in Ceuta was the ship's doctor, many sailors who had politely refused agreed to board the ship.
After all, any sailor in his right mind knows how many lives a good ship doctor can save.
A few days later, in the port of Ceuta, the meticulously brushed and polished three-masted multi-sail Karak ship reflected a dazzling brilliance in the sun.
"Get on board!" Raphael waved his hand meaningfully.
The sailors followed the captain according to their positions and boarded the ship in an orderly manner.
By the way, the name of the ship, after friendly and heated discussions, was finally decided to be called "Legend".
Alternative options are "White Parrot", "Gold", "Victory", "Doctor".
Since Wolfheart did not participate in the bidding, Liu Zheng, the biggest fist, won in the end.
Raphael tried to assert the captain's authority, and then succumbed to the threat of a fight.
