Chapter 122: Poison Gas (I)
Chapter 122: Poison Gas (I)
In a room, Fang Xin poured several materials into the crucible, and the alcohol lamp was burning underneath, and patches of blue light smoke rose through the glass, staying in the pot-shaped glass pipe, even if it was sealed.
After a while, the liquid below had been boiled clean, and the entire glass pipe was filled with blue smoke, Fang Xin whispered, and after a while, a blue light shot in, and suddenly, the blue smoke froze into a liquid form and settled in the bottom of the glass.
This is the "Frozen Ray", the fourth level 0 spell that Fang Xin has learned, which can cause a short cold breath, Fang Xin did not dare to slack off, immediately extinguished the alcohol lamp, and then took out three small glass bottles, and took out a glass spoon.
Fang Xin quickly opened the lid, scooped the frozen liquid into the bottle, and then covered it again, and finally, hurriedly injected clean water into the original glass pipe for cleaning, but even so, the time was up, and a trace of blue smoke was born again, although he had already taken precautions, Fang Xin still felt dizzy.
Fang Xin hurriedly opened the window to let the outside qi in, and the dizziness slowly disappeared.
Fang Xin proudly held the three glass bottles and smiled.
It is said that the maritime trade between the continents is prevalent, and pirates naturally came into being, claiming that there have been pirates since the ships sailed, especially today, when the navigation is developed, it is the golden age of piracy.
Between the hundreds of shipping routes on the mainland, all kinds of ships laden with gold and other goods roamed all over the country, which not only led to the participation of merchants, but also led to the participation of various countries, and the emergence of "privateer licenses" issued by the state "legalized" piracy.
In this era of countless sea ships, freedom, honor, and interests, groups of famous pirates have emerged, such as black scythes, black barons, blood roses, etc., all of which have become legends, and even have the status of nobility obtained by pirates.
Therefore, in this day and age, any ship pays attention to the battle, Vincent. Manly has been able to cross the sea for 20 years, not only has a connection with the pirate group, but also has a connection with the officials of various cities, and the sailors of his own organization are naturally strong and combatable, and it can even be said that in this era when the land war subsides and the sea war prevails, the most elite warriors on the mainland are concentrated - Han Bling, who used to run by sea and become the first officer, is a fifth-level warrior!
The Golden Sheep, there are fifty sailors on it, more than half of them are third- to fourth-level warriors, and the others are even fifth-to-sixth-level warriors, Fang Xin doesn't feel unkind, after all, after twenty years of crisscrossing the ocean, he will naturally accumulate a large number of elites, which is not comparable to the average fleet - even two or three seventh- or eighth-level warriors may appear!
Fang Xin's strength was limited by this body, that is, the level of six to seven levels, of course, he believed that he could kill two fighters of the same level, but what about the others?
If directly known to attack Vincent. Manley's ship, Motzt and his sailors will definitely quit, forty warriors with an average of three ranks, how to fight fifty warriors with an average of one and a half above the ranks?
The Magic Guild has a book on magic (just an introduction, of course), and one of them is the Dead Cloud, a spell that creates a large cloud of smoke that is so poisonous that it can stun the inhaler in a few seconds and die in half a minute.
If one is cast on a ship when the wind is small and the wind is calm, due to the small area of the ship, then one can make most of the people lose their combat effectiveness.
But this is a fifth-level spell, and it is not even allowed to read it, let alone cast it, but in Fang Xin's opinion, it doesn't matter at all - isn't it just a poisonous mist?
With such a developed process of alchemy and magic basic ingredients, it is not easy to find a quickly lethal smoke formula, but it is not very difficult, it is refined through alchemy, and then put it in a bottle, and then it will explode.
Although the actual effect is much worse than that of the Dead Cloud Technique, the three bottles are put together is almost equal to one Dead Cloud Technique, and even if it has the disadvantage that non-magical clouds are easy to blow away, however, if used properly, it is not a problem.
What is a mage? The mage eats by wisdom, Fang Xin is well aware of the essence of it, and after working overnight, he prepared three bottles, although the rare poison raw materials used up 100 gold lake, but it was completely worth it, hehe sneered for a moment, Fang Xin carefully took out a box, which contained cotton, and carefully put the three bottles into it to avoid accidental leakage during the collision.
After changing his clothes, Fang Xin walked out of the small building and got into a carriage, of course this carriage was simple, the sun shone in directly, but because it was morning and the air was relatively humid, the heat was reduced.
Buso Buzz was originally a commercial port, and August was even busier, although it was only morning, it was already full of noisy and busy sounds, and on every street and square, you could already see busy workers and horse-drawn carriages.
The carriage took Fang Xin to the wharf, which was a large port, crowded with countless boats, and the extradition officers of the wharf directed back and forth, so that the ships were neatly lined up and entered and exited in an orderly manner.
Normally, it is still very troublesome to inspect, permit, pass taxes, and guide a boat in and out, but Fang Xin's current identity is different after all, so when Fang Xin arrived at the dock, he saw Motzt greet him and said: "Captain, the departure permit has been completed." ”
These people who are often on the ocean are naturally the most honorable captains, so when they go to sea, they are not called Sir Fang Xin, but call him the captain, and as for himself, he is naturally the first mate - the second person on the ship!
"Well, let's get on board!" Fang Xin nodded and said, he rushed to his ship, and sure enough, the cabin was already full of goods, heavy, and the draft was relatively deep, Fang Xin jumped on the ship, and immediately gave an order.
Sure enough, soon, under the command of the guide ship, the ships in front of it left the port in succession, and it was its turn, and the ship began to run, leaving the port along that narrow channel.
Of course, the departure from the port was very slow, Fang Xin stood on the deck, looking at the neat dock, made of blue-striped stone and granite to form the embankment, he had to admit that this port was already the limit of modern technical conditions, however, this was not his purpose, he looked at the ships along the port, although the field of vision was not very wide, but he soon saw his goal.
The four ships docked at the dock at the same time, their own style, the sailors and workers on it were busy, Fang Xin's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he found his target.
……
When the crew left the port, Fang Xin came to the captain's room, which was very large, quite luxurious for the narrow space on the ship, and also had a small experimental table, fixed.
Fang Xin took out a roll of things and spread it out on the table, it was a huge map.
"This is a military chart!" Motzt, who followed, stared straight at this map - this nautical chart, a complete map of the coasts of the two continents, the map was made in great detail, and the islands, towns and towns along the way, and even the villages that were supplied were marked.
The main rivers, forests, and hills along the coast are all drawn.
Although the pirates are very familiar with the sea, but relying on crude charts and decades of experience, they may be familiar with some parts, but they can't be familiar with such a large area, this kind of charts can't be bought, only nobles and big chambers of commerce have it.
"I bought this one for 100 gold Lake!" Fang Xin said.
"100 gold lake, worth it!" Motzt stared at the charts and gritted his teeth.
This kind of military chart is naturally an extremely precious thing, a captain with this, it is much safer, Fang Xin smiled and said, "You can copy a copy, but I want 50 gold lakes." ”
50 gold rak is 500 silver rak, which is naturally a lot of money, but Motzt stared for a moment, and finally said, "Okay, I'll copy a copy!" ”
Of course, he won't come out alone, others dare not say it, and his core players will definitely support him.
Fang Xin nodded, and said indifferently: "I'll talk about it later, I'll talk about the plan." ”
Fang Xin pointed to a point on the chart: "This is where we are now, in five and a half days, we will arrive at Shak Harbor, which is the last replenishment point along the way, so there must be many ships, where the last replenishment of fresh water and grain ...... We're going to wait there and then choose the target to attack. ”
"Inside Shaq Harbor?"
"Of course not, after leaving the port!" Fang Xin said categorically.
Motzt thought about it, nodded silently, and felt that this method was good, Shaq Harbor is an island, and it doesn't have much strength in itself, so it makes trouble in the port, in order to maintain its business, it naturally has to work hard, but out of the port, it will definitely not care, even if it is calling around at its doorstep.
Even, as long as you don't fight in the harbor, you can still enter the harbor to rest and replenish if you take someone's ship.
And then...... If we win, we will rest in Shak Harbor for two days at most, and the priest will heal you, and then we will continue through the Strait of Bo Valley, and continue northward, and it is expected that in half a month, we will arrive at the Western Thorn City on the opposite continent, where we will deliver the goods and ships, and then we will return with the goods, and we will try to complete the above journey in a month and a half. Fang Xin said carefully.
"Well, the captain's plan, I agree."
"That's good, you can go out and command."
Then he said to Hadak: "Hadak, from today onwards, it is up to you to record the logbook." ”
"Yes, sir!" Hadak, who had not spoken, answered.
