Chapter 2180: Exploring the Trail of Sha Lan (18)

An hour later.

"Well, please feel free to visit the ship. The first mate of the Pigod led the group of adventurers into the sand boat, and described the various facilities inside the sand ship in an introductory manner, so that the people could familiarize themselves with the conditions inside the ship.

In the process, Bediwell also carefully observed the environment inside the Pigot. He found that the interior of the Pigod was almost identical to that of his Aurora------ except for the various corridors, the rooms were much brighter. Eve should learn from the Pegord and light up all the dark corridors inside the Aurora. That way, it doesn't need at least as many holographic beams to guide the way.

"You adventurers from all over the world, and I know that some of you may not have found a place to stay in Cairo yet. Prince Said's butler followed the group of adventurers visiting the sand ship the whole time, and then said, "Therefore, about thirty cabins have been vacated in the Pigod for your accommodation. Please contact the first officer if you need it.

At this point, the explanation of this combat operation has been completed, and you can disband. The hunt for Moby Dick will begin at 12 noon the day after tomorrow, so please arrive at the southwest port of Cairo in advance. ＂

Is that the end of it?Bediwell wondered, he had expected to hear a more detailed explanation of the mission. Unexpectedly, the so-called battle was said after a few simple sentences, and even after entering the golden ship Pigod, the key facilities in the ship were still not visible (such as the power furnace), and the first mate only took the group of adventurers who participated in the crusade against Moby Dick to visit some inconsequential daily life facilities. What secrets does the Ship of the Desert, a golden ship that is almost identical to Bediwell's Dawn, really tickle the werewolf youth's heart, but there is nowhere to vent.

"When leaving, use the teleportation beam in the bow of the ship. The beam will take you back to the surface. The first mate of the Pigod said again, leading the adventurers to the teleportation room.

Well, at least know that the Pigod can also use teleportation beams. But that's not a big deal------ after all, this kind of sand boat is a large transport ship left over from the ancient gods and people, and the teleportation beam is one of the standard configurations, which is a device specially used to carry people and goods.

"So------" Bediville wanted to follow, but he was suddenly grabbed by the shoulders at the end.

"Can you take a step to speak, young man? "It was none other than the captain of the Pigod, Captain Ark, who was holding back the werewolf youth.

"I think it's better for us to see each other two days later. The werewolf youth refused. He didn't really want to be left alone on the Pigod at such a time, and he had a bad premonition. No, maybe it's not a bad premonition, it's just a shame. Also a "captain", this Captain Ark is extraordinary and old-fashioned, giving people a very stable and reliable feeling. And the "Captain Bediwell" here is just a young man who is ignorant of the world, and he will definitely be ashamed to compare with the other party. Therefore, Bediwell is still reluctant to have more contact with this Captain Ark, and he does not want the other party to know that he is the captain of the Aurora.

"Don't be wary of me, I'm just trying to make small talk. ------Is Eve okay?" Captain Ark suddenly said Eve's name.

Bediwell's whole body trembled, and he was finally willing to stop his intended departure.

"Do you really know Eve?" the werewolf youth lowered his voice and asked, "How do you know?"

You don't even need to ask this question. Bediwell's ears were wearing a communication device with the golden scarab golem on the Dawn, and as if recognizing the old master, the thing happily changed from the earring back to the form of a scarab beetle, flew over Bediwell's ear, and circled in front of Captain Ark.

"Good, good. What a good boy. Captain Ark also teased the scarab golem a few times, as if to praise his own puppy. All this shows that the identity of this Captain Ark is not simple. In addition, the Pigod, which Captain Arc now owns, is exactly the same thing as the Dawn of the Desert Ship in Bedeville.

Maybe------

"Are you supposed to ...... Is that the captain of the ship missing?" asked Bedeville in a low voice. That can even be said to be an extremely bold hypothesis, and he didn't know where he got the confidence when he asked, and he would have such an unbounded speculation. But his intuition tells the werewolf youth that his guess is not far off, even if it is not true!

"Well, God knows. Captain Ark showed an elusive poker face and continued, "Please be with Eve well from now on, Captain Bedeville. ＂

The werewolf youth frowned, and asked one after another, "What's the matter with this ship?" The golden ship known as the Ship of the Desert should be my Dawn. Is this the same type of transport ship left over from the ancient gods and people, or is it just an imitation?"

"Imitations. Captain Arc replied truthfully, "Even though it's almost identical. Functionally it's not much worse than your boat. ＂

"Where did you get your hands on it?" asked Bediwell, "Why do you come out at such a time, and as soon as you appear, you say that you are going to fight against Moby Dick? What do you have with Moby Dick? How did you meet Prince Said? Are you in such a hurry to go against Moby Dick, do you have any ulterior motives?"

"When the time comes, you'll know. Captain Ark continued to speak without emotion. Half of his face was hidden in the shadow of the captain's hat, making it even more elusive to his thoughts: "But before that, listen to my advice, don't get on those destroyers." ＂

"What?"

"Although the most advanced optical camouflage technology has been used to confuse Moby Dick, after all, it is a big war of that magnitude, and the operation of using destroyers to severely damage Moby Dick will inevitably result in casualties. And, according to my speculation, the casualties must have been heavy. Captain Ark snorted, "You are such an important person, you can't be hit by Moby Dick's crimson fluctuations, and you will be killed on the destroyer with no resistance." ＂

The werewolf youth's face sank, and Captain Ark broke through what he had been most worried about, and Bediwell was of course upset.

"So what do you mean ......?"

"Bring your ship over and go to war. Join my Pigodian in the second phase of the hunt to deliver a fatal blow to the monster. Captain Ark advised, "If I tell Prince Said what happened, he will gladly accept my proposal." ＂

"Are you going to let me take the Dawn with me?" Bediwell was a little upset, "This battle is not so simple, is it?

"I'm not going to let that happen, don't worry. Captain Ark said, "Unlike your ship, the Pigod is fully armed for war. All you need to do is prepare to fire another giant Harpoon and wreak havoc on Moby Dick with the Pigold. We'll take care of the rest. ＂

"Why?"

"The [Red Moon Steel Harpoon] used to hit Moby Dick hard cannot be fired in bursts, and it takes quite a long time to reload once it misses. And a cunning guy like Moby Dick won't give us a second chance, and we can even say that we can only shoot a harpoon, and if we miss, the plan is completely ruined. Captain Ark analyzed without emotion: "So, one more ship that can fire harpoons and checkmate Moby Dick will double the success rate." It's just something as simple as that. ＂

"My ship is not armed, and it is impossible to have a harpoon system, so what can I do?"

"It's simple. The Giant Harpoon was launched using [that] and didn't need to be equipped with an additional firing system at all. ＂

"[That]?"

"Teleportation beams. ＂

I see. Is that really the case? If you use the sand ship's teleportation beam, you can indeed launch the giant harpoon like a cannonball, and you can also position it precisely so that the harpoon lands where you want it to land. It's just that sending a massive object like a harpoon like a cannonball is estimated to require a very huge amount of energy. That's one of the reasons Captain Ark just said that Harpoons can't shoot continuously.

Moreover, the number of special Red Moon Steel harpoons is scarce, and once they are missed, it is difficult to recover or replenish them. After all, the beam delivery system is not a regular turret at all, and it is not equipped with an automatic reloading mechanism.

Bediwell frowned again: "There are still too many uncertain parts, I will think about it, but I don't promise to promise you." Well, take your leave. ＂

Captain Ark nodded, and said nothing.

Sou------

Surrounded by a golden light and passing through a special underground tunnel at breakneck speed, Bediwell unwittingly arrived on the outskirts of the Cairo Black Market.

"Oh, the Boss is here. "Unexpectedly, Big Lawrence was already waiting for him not far away, and next to that guy was his younger brother Lawrence Jr., that is, Strategist Eric.

"You guy, you all introduced me to what the hell work. When Bediwell saw Big Lawrence, he showed an angry face: "It's a suicide mission to hunt Moby Dick, do you want to kill me?"

"Boss, didn't you say you were in a hurry to use the money. That's it. Big Lawrence also grinned cheekily: "And I explained to you before the start of this mission, this mission is quite dangerous, and it is very likely that you will lose your life." So I didn't participate at all, hehehe~"

Bedwell gave Big Lawrence a blank look.

Eric, the strategist next to him, also gave Bediwell a sneaky look.

"Anyway, go back first. Eric interrupted suddenly, "Is the mission two days away?" And it's the kind of hunting Moby Dick that can be recited as an epic hunt for a while, so I advise you to be prepared to go and have no return, and do what needs to be done first. See you in two days, then. ＂

"It's like I'm going to die. The werewolf youth pouted.

But Bediwell couldn't help but care about Captain Kiak's proposal. Indeed, the probability of being wiped out by a cannon with a crew and a ship is not low if you follow other adventurers on a destroyer, and you die like this, and you don't even have a chance to show your strength. It would be better to accept Ark's offer and attack with the Sand Ship Dawn of Bediwell. Even though the Aurora was sunk, Captain Bediwell died with dignity on his own ship.

Perhaps by doing so, he could get a bigger prize from Prince Said. As a result, what he wants is not a bonus, no matter the means, just look at the result.

"Anyway, what about the musketeer Nat?" asked Bedeville curiously, looking around, but not seeing Nat's figure.

"Who?" said Big Lawrence, apparently not recognizing the Nat of which Bediwell had spoken.

"It's the one, the monotonous guy with a metal skeleton all over his body. Bediwell shrugged his shoulders and said, "Isn't this the destination set by the teleportation beam? The other adventurers who participated in the crusade against Moby Dick were all sent here, right?

"I seem to have seen such a character passing by, but I don't know him, so I don't care much about his whereabouts. Big Lawrence also shrugged his shoulders and said, "Boss, do you have something to do with that person?"

"No...... Forget it. Bediwell snorted.
