"Maybe I should plan to buy a new boat?" Lu Yuan calculated his assets, shook his money bag, and said very locally.

Coupled with the ransom paid by McLaren, coupled with these robberies, Lu Yuan's private property finally exceeded 400,000 pesos - this money was enough for him to buy a four-star ship.

"At least four hundred feet long, three masts, and a double-deck artillery deck! If you can't fit a 24-pounder gun, it's better to have a 32-pounder gun! I'm already depressed with a 16-pounder gun! Lu Yuan said and couldn't help but look at the sky outside the window.

If anyone knows him well, such as Twilight, he will know that he is yearning for life above the sky again. Lu Yuan fantasized for a long time, but finally shook his head and returned to reality. It seems that after seeing the appearance of the "Dawn", Lu Yuan has dreamed of the scene of driving a space battleship in space more than once...... "Looking at the turret from a distance and scaring people to death, and looking at five pairs of load-bearing wheels up close." "How desirable.

"But I think our boat is good. Moreover, now the Kraken is also a ship with a story, what a pity to replace it like this. Elizabeth, who had adapted to life at sea, said that she was now lying on her bed, eating a snack of pry shellfish mixed with corn, and she could not see at all the vomiting and death she had when she first got on board. In front of her, Lu Yuan's "Voyage Diary" was spread out. Because Lu Yuan, as a magician, always habitually recorded the process of each battle in detail. Several "Lu's Navigation Novels" have been formed. And because every battle of the "Kraken" is very whimsical, the whole nautical diary is even better than the knight's novel.

Elizabeth picked it up once after. I can't put it down. Even those things that she had personally experienced still seemed to be relishing again.

"That's just what you think is good. It's about to become a girls' dormitory! Lu Yuan said depressedly, his eyes scanning the surroundings. Looking at the captain's room, which was decorated like a woman's bedroom, with its couches and beds full of puppets, and cabinets full of snacks, he felt that he really couldn't take it anymore. "I need a study! Labs are needed! Need my captain's room! Need my coffin-like hammock! Of course, the most important thing is to get you out of here! I'd rather build you a luxurious palace in the bow of the ship and stuff you into it!" As long as you don't grab space with me. ”

Elizabeth poked Misha, who was half-lying on the sofa, and Misha glared at Elizabeth angrily, every time she had to come out on her own at such a time! "My dear. You may be disappointed, because a four-star ship is not much bigger than our current ship. If it is the kind of ship with enough space, only those with a three-star or higher can have a large ship with a length of more than 30 meters. ”

"Then we'll get one!" Lu Yuan patted the table in front of him, "But it's strange lately, are the pirates so poor?" The four-star ship has encountered a lot, but the three-star ship seems to have never seen it, and it seems that it is still necessary to do intelligence work. ”

"Three stars or more is a warship," Misha explained weakly. Lu Yuan's common sense in this regard is very lacking, "Those above two stars are the main warships of the navies of various countries." Among the three-star ships, with the exception of cruisers designed directly as battleships. It is the two common three-star ships of the Galen galleon and the Pinas galleon.

As long as it is a ship with more than three stars, it can be transformed into a naval warship in wartime, and its firepower in peacetime is not weak.

So in the Caribbean. There may be countless four-star ships, but ships of three stars and above. It must be documented. We are unlikely to get it unless we are determined to become hostile to a country...... No. There are more three-star ships now, and big commercial houses can also have them, but higher ones definitely can't. ”

"So, Spain?" Lu Yuan does not abandon his yearning and does not give up.

"Spain hasn't officially wanted us yet!" Misha couldn't bear to sit up, and said to Lu Yuan half explaining and half complaining, "Lu, things are not as simple as you think. Even if we can grab a big ship with a three-star level or above, there are too many issues to consider!

Large ships have a deep draft, whether it is maintenance or care, they need a higher level of shipwrights, at that time we could not find a small port to complete these jobs like now, we had to go to a special port.

The big ports are all under the control of the four countries and Morgan, and the entry and exit of large ships are very strictly controlled! As far as I know, among the many pirates in the Caribbean, there are only a few such as Morgan who own ships with more than three stars!

Therefore, even if we grab a three-star ship, we will always have to go ashore, and whether it is ship supply or post-war maintenance, it will become a big problem for us...... Unless we can get a privateer license from a certain country, we will be in a situation where we will not be able to enter the port. ”

Lu Yuan was silent.

Bounty hunters are a thorny road.

Although it seems to be both righteous and beautiful on the surface, the data clearly tells Lu Yuan that his relationship with the five major forces and the fourteen major organizations in the Caribbean are declining! The reason for this is actually not difficult to understand - why pirates are so rampant, it is not because of the support of various countries, forces, organizations, and even chambers of commerce! They supported the pirates to complete all kinds of dirty work, and they were eliminated by Lu Yuan, and they had to knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, and pay a lot of bounties with tears, so it's no wonder that the relationship can be good!

"I'll figure it out, but the ship has to be changed, we do need a big ship!" Lu Yuan made a conclusion on this issue. "We have space boxes to work with and resupply is not a big problem. Otherwise, let's slowly find a way to solve it together! I really can't, as long as I can last for nine months...... The problem will not be a problem. Nine months later, he left.

As the battle unfolded, he had a clear idea of what kind of ships he needed now and in the future.

First of all, the ship was supposed to be a large platform. It can accommodate a complete system of mechanisms, and there are enough cabins. Let Lu Yuan give full play to his abilities in all aspects, from alchemy to fighting. Transform into the combat power of a battleship.

At the same time, it can also carry enough supplies, and a one-time replenishment can sustain long, high-intensity battles. That is, there must be a certain production capacity on board, which, of course, is difficult to do in this era. At this time, the only production is to dry the fish into dried fish.

In addition, in terms of combat effectiveness, Lu Yuan expects to have a warship that can pose a threat to most targets.

This target included a one-star ship, such as a British battleship, and so on, which required his ship to be at least of the cruiser class.

He likes to fight like an assassin. Hidden in the darkness, the cold light flashed, and a sword sealed the throat.

Instead of pretending to be a shipwreck, pretending to be a sneak attack, analyzing psychology, and making jokes like now...... The name of this "opera house" sounds like it must be a group of guys who like to perform and like to be in the limelight. I didn't realize at all that Lu Yuan and the others could only make up for it through ingenious planning because of the weakness of the ships and the gap in firepower, which really made Lu Yuan extremely dissatisfied.

"And the sailors on board. Lu, you've fed them too much! Now when they charge, their hands are all protecting their bulging waist bags. Elizabeth grumbled. Of course, this is just a metaphor. The pirates don't have much money in their hands, and they have to wait for the distribution of the spoils at the end of the month.

"It doesn't matter, after the docking. If you want to leave, let them go. Lu Yuan nodded noncommittally. The sailors have now amassed almost all of them a fortune of close to a thousand pesos, which is already richer than many ordinary citizens. Countless times more than what they used to earn. As a result, many sailors have been looking forward to going ashore at the end of the month and then taking the money to pursue the life they desire. The traditional way of spending money - prostitutes & rum. They can't meet the needs of these pirates, and their eyes are now on the land, the house, and the wife!

Seeing that it was going to be the end of the month, everyone was waiting to see if the captain's promise could be fulfilled, and they were even more nervous than Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan didn't plan to keep these people, and it was right to leave when he made enough money. Anyway, the naval battle of the "Kraken" mainly relied on Lu Yuan's ship-driving skills. By the time these people spread the fame of the Siren, the number of people who wanted to get on board would increase a thousandfold.

"You guys are here, I'm going to get some air!" Looking at the layout in the room, Lu Yuan didn't even have a place to move, so he could only helplessly push the door and walk out, leaving the laughter of the two women.

*******

Lu Yuan walked along the side of the ship, casually greeted the sailors, and gave a clear answer to any inquiries about the sharing of spoils, which made the pirates feel relieved and their emotions were also uplifted.

Because they have never seen so much money, the closer they get to the end of the month, the more worried these guys are that Lu Yuan will be on the books...... Lu Yuan actually understands this idea very well. If he was a little vague at this time, it would provoke a shipwide rebellion.

Until he saw Kim and Doug the parrot sitting on the stern.

"Hey, are you alright?" Lu Yuan sat down beside him. "You can't stay in the cabin too?"

"I'm ......" Jin rubbed his hands in embarrassment, not knowing how to answer. He wanted to say, "I haven't been assigned a cabin yet," but from other people's mouths, he already knew that this person was the captain of the Kraken, the "magician", so he didn't dare to talk nonsense if he had the courage to do so.

"I'm not so good! Lu, I think we need to negotiate about the name you gave me a dog! The parrot flew over and landed on Kim's shoulder, protesting loudly.

"Kim, in the future, on the ship, you will be the chef's assistant, do you know about this?" Lu Yuan pretended not to hear and pressed Jin's shoulder and asked.

"Hmmm! I've been working in bars before, no problem with this! Kim finally found the question he could answer, and immediately nodded happily.

"The bar is really talented...... Well, Kim! Can I entrust you with your first job? Lu Yuan suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the parrot's wings like lightning, and lifted it down, "Make it the main dish of the evening for me!" I'm going to have a barbecue! Stuff the stomach with lemons, and the mouth must be stuck with nuts......"

"Ahh Yes! The parrot screamed in horror, grabbing Kim's sleeve with both paws, and pulling itself outward. It lost a lot of feathers before it broke free from Lu Yuan's hands. "You're intimidating a pet!" It shouted, flapped its wings, and fled to the lookout.

"It. Isn't that your first mate? Kim asked, a little surprised.

"First mate? It's my reserve food. My first mate is that guy! Lu Yuan pointed to the one in the distance holding a wine bottle. August, who was on deck urging the sailors, "He's my first mate." Also the owner of the boat......"

"So Captain, is this really the Kraken? Is our bow really a Kraken? ”

"Ah, that's right, kid. As you can see, you're on the same boat you've heard of, but it's not as magical as you think......"

The two of them were in the stern of the boat, chatting leisurely.

At this time, the sun is late, and the weather is just right.

……

"Captain! Captain! "The parrot that had just escaped flew back at this time. The flattery fell on Lu Yuan's shoulder, "Captain, your adjutant Doug reported to you that there is a ship of unknown ownership in front of you, does it need to be shelled?!" ”

"Zhilu said, don't make a fuss, that's the ship I'm waiting for. That's right, Doug. I thought you were going to continue a discussion with me about names? ”

"No, I suddenly felt that the name Doug suited me well...... Wang~Wang~. You see, maybe I'm not really a parrot, hey, why are you covering your face, captain? The parrot tilted its head. Looked at him strangely.

"Turn me into a star! You dead bird! Lu Yuan grabbed the parrot's neck and threw it hard! He was really shocked by the parrot's discipline.

But not long after, Doug flew back again. Circling the distance above Lu Yuan's head, shouting loudly. "I'm a parrot, I'm definitely not a bird!" It seems to be mistaken for a bird. Received a great insult as well!

"But you can fly?" Kim said.

The angry parrot rushed at him like an arrow and pecked him the forehead!

"Would I say you're a fish just because you know how to swim?!"

Young Jin was speechless.

Lu Yuan listened to their argument, touched his chin and pondered, "I heard that this guy's hometown is Brazil?" I want this opportunity to send it back...... It will definitely become a life coach for all parrots! How can I be the only one who is unlucky!? ”

Lu Yuan didn't remember at all, it was he who used the first half of the summoning demon & pet to awaken the parrot's intelligence. The parrot became so annoying, and most of the blame was due to the fact that he poured too much bad information into his enlightenment.

*****

"Honey, long time no see!"

Seeing Cheng Yuyue's smiling face like a flower that he needed to look up to see, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh again. Although Cheng Yuyue's appearance has not changed from before, she is now standing with Ye Zi on a three-star Pinas galleon, which is the kind of galleon that Lu Yuan rode on when he had just entered the Caribbean Sea and was used as a slave - when the two boats were parked side by side, the other party's deck was three meters higher than where Lu Yuan was standing......

"Come down, honey, be careful when you talk and pull your throat!" Lu Yuan pretended that the two of them were very far away, put his hand into a horn and put it to his lips and shouted loudly, complaining by the way. Your sister's, at first glance, you know that the Tao is here to show off!

After a while, Lu Yuan sat in the captain's room of the Kraken with Ye Piaoling, Cheng Yuyue, and Zhuo Xiaoji. As for why don't you go to the Samsung ship to talk? Lu Yuan said, I will be jealous when I see it......

"It's been a good mix lately!" Lu Yuan pointed to the big boat outside the window and said viciously, "It's all like this, I believe it's not difficult to cover a little girl, right?" Why do you insist on giving my wife to me? ”

"Small business, it's all small business," Ye Zi smiled and couldn't see his face, pretending not to understand Lu Yuan's teasing, "Everything is a fool, and I only got it with the help of an NPC!" It's not as good as your boss, and now the prestige of the "Opera House" is all over the Northern Caribbean, and whoever mentions it will give a thumbs up, it's definitely this! He gave a thumbs up and added. I've heard that Morgan is planning to get you in trouble. ”

"And," Lu Yuan couldn't see that others were better than himself, so he looked the leaves up and down, and pointed to his exposed big teeth, "It's only been more than half a month, why are your teeth yellow like this?" If you lived in the Caribbean for ten months, wouldn't you have a pirate-like yellow fang?! ”

Ye Zi immediately closed his mouth, a wry smile on his face. Yellow teeth can be said to be his heartache for all this time! The food on the boat, the sea breeze and the constant imbalance of vitamin intake, his teeth jumped off the cliff like crazy! Sanitary conditions in the Caribbean...... Wait a minute. There is no sanitation here. Looking at Lu Yuan and his two girlfriends with snow-white teeth, he knew that this guy must have a way to maintain it. But...... I'm really embarrassed to open my mouth at this time.

"And my dear Yueyue," Lu Yuan took Cheng Yuyue's hand numbly. sighed repeatedly, "Look at these rough hands, the sea breeze here is strong, not to mention rubbing a hand cream." Oops, the face is black like this, too! ”

Cheng Yuyue's black face was hit by him!

When the two of them were depressed, Lu Yuan proudly took out a good wine to entertain the three of them, and by the way, he acted as a confidant.

"Morgan can find me, hmm, you went to betray me?"

Ye Zi and Cheng Yuyue showed surprised expressions in unison! Although they did so. And they didn't intend to hide it, but they were thinking about how to talk to Lu Yuan, but they didn't expect him to be able to guess such a thing!

"I'm sorry! Land! It's because ......," Cheng Yuyue hurriedly explained.

"Peter. Brad", Lu Yuan interrupted her and said the name that shocked the two of them again. Since Lu Yuan had Misha and Helen to help, the news channel has been greatly unblocked. Every time they enter the port, they go to the local bar and always get news that others don't know. "You saved the legendary British captain Peter. After Brad, I arranged for someone to inquire. ”

Lu Yuan pointed to the big ship outside the window. Presumably now Peter. Brad was at the helm and continued, "He's been framed and taken the ship. The legendary two-star warship 'Barbados', and was sold to the plantation as a slave...... Since you have rescued him, of course you have to look for opportunities. Help him return to England. Only then will he be able to regain his position. Recapture the ship! And the best intermediary introducer is none other than Morgan......"

Lu Yuan crossed his hands. Leaning his elbows on the table, he made a gesture of commander Yodo, "I didn't expect you to exchange my news, but I knew it after meeting you. It's just that what I don't understand is, in that case, why do you want to send chickens? He looked at Zhuo Xiaoji, who was timidly hiding behind the leaves, "This is not scientific. ”

She ...... Ask for yourself! Ye Zi looked at Zhuo Xiaoji with some worry, and Lu Yuan also looked at Zhuo Xiaoji, and neither of them said anything more.

******

After sending the two people on the boat and leaving, Lu Yuan first said to Zhuo Xiaoji, who was following, "Hide in the cabin and don't come out!" Then he clapped his hands vigorously, attracting the attention of the sailors on the deck, and then shouted, "Ring the alarm bell!" Raise the Siren Flag! Inform down! Get ready for battle! ”

The sailors on deck, get busy in an instant! "Bell~~~", the iron bell rang rapidly, and the sailors rolled down from the hammocks and joined the ranks of preparing for war.

Lu Yuan stood on the stern tower with Zhang's spear, staring at the pirates with a fierce gaze, and his whole body was burning with fierce fighting intent!

"Aren't you angry?" A timid voice sounded behind him.

Lu Yuan didn't need to look back, he knew that Daozhuo Xiaoji did not obediently return to the captain's room.

"Nope!" Lu Yuan replied indifferently, "I am the only person they can betray. ”

Don't look at Cheng Yuyue and Ye Zi driving a three-star galleon, with infinite majesty. However, Lu Yuan knew that because of their lack of strength, the resources in their hands were actually very limited, whether it was the resources to make friends with various general forces, or the resources of money and force. Lu Yuan even suspected that in order to maintain that big three-star guy, they might have exhausted every copper plate.

As Peter. Brad's partners, they must show enough ability, so betraying Lu Yuan is not an option, but a unique item, Lu Yuan can understand.

Ye Zi and Cheng Yuyue also talked about Morgan's situation in detail.

According to them, this time Morgan sent out a guy that Morgan had always wanted to get rid of. The guy had always wanted to go straight to England with the ship and his own people. Although Morgan is loyal to the British, he is in a semi-independent position after all, how can he tolerate such a thing? Because he knew that the British saw that his tail was too big to fall off, and he was thinking of a way to weaken him, he also endured it while arranging for him to fight Lu Yuan.

Anyway, whoever finishes these two boats, Morgan will be happy.

Of course, Ye Zi also felt that Lu Yuan must be fine, so he sent the chicken. While betraying Lu Yuan, he also had to pat his chest and pretend to be a brother, and the brother was in trouble to send his wife thousands of miles away...... Lu Yuan looked at his parrot speechlessly, is there any epidemic in the Caribbean recently? Everyone's desperate distraction?!

When the "Kraken" was just ready, a black sail appeared in the sky, and the black flag fluttering on it, two opposite hooks, locked to a skeleton, was somewhat familiar. (To be continued......)
