Congratulations to Liquan for becoming the grandmaster of this book! Enlighten the ghost god Lu Bu!

Thanks to Liquan for rewarding 10,100 starting coins!

Thanks to the thief who hated it and saw the rainbow dog for a reward of 200 starting coins!

There's also a chapter before bedtime, and strive to add a little bit to each day's updates. Although it was only stopped for a day, the feeling of the codeword was broken and needed to be adjusted.

By the way, Lao Lei begged for a subscription to the first chapter, and there were still dozens of ......

"Ahem~ahem~", the owner of the dock, Old Man Oren, coughed loudly and climbed down from the "Kraken", looking like he was about to hang up. Lu Yuan and Elizabeth separated left and right in a panic, each pretending to be casual and looking at the scenery. It's just that in this dock, I don't know what I can see.

Lu Yuan really didn't have any thoughts about Elizabeth, and the throbbing emotions of the plot & characters at the beginning had long been completely left behind by him along with the same things that he couldn't get too busy with. This "Elizabeth. Swan: "It's good, it's a pity it's not a small flat-chested ...... Why are there so many tyrants in my world? Is it true that flat chests are rare?

Lu Yuan used to make a mess of wanting to adjust & teach messily when he saw the plot &...... characters?

"It seems...... You seem to be a poor bastard? The old man asked with a smirk.

Lu Yuan smiled a little embarrassedly, Niu X blew too much just now, and he pulled the egg.

Oron shook his head, noncommittal, he had seen everything just now. He had never had a good impression of the new mayor of Trinidad, who had eyes on his forehead. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dodged just now. I don't even want to look at it.

Don't think that McLaren is the second son of the commander of the naval forces of the Spanish colonies, and he is bull. The old man has enough capital to look down on him! Oren was once one of the few master shipbuilders in Spain. It can be said that he has half of the credit for the birth of the Galen ship. Among the Spanish Navy. Status, esteem.

It's just that with the better and better quality of artillery and the development of all aspects of ship technology, naval warfare has gradually changed from broadside warfare to broadside warfare. The "battle line" tactic also put Britain on the stage of maritime hegemony, and it led the way. In this case, it feels like the Galen ship has completed its historical mission and is about to step off the stage. It is not surprising that Oren, one of the inventors of the Galen ship, also chose to step down from the stage and live in seclusion in the remote Caribbean.

It's a pity that McLen's idiot didn't know that there was a master shipbuilder hidden in his town! He only knew that he oppressed these people to collect taxes. Then help him repair the ship for free, and don't even bother to look at it at other times! McLaren's own shipbuilding consultants were specially invited back from Europe, and they were only the grandchildren of Oren, and they had never even seen Oren's appearance.

If it weren't for Lu Yuan's work this time, it would be really interesting, and Master Oren wouldn't even be involved.

Lu Yuan stared at the old man in a daze for a while, and the thoughts in his heart turned back and forth at this moment. Lu Yuan didn't think too deeply about it before, but he just felt that the old man was quite peculiar. But the old man shook his head, the kind of indifference that overlooked all beings. But it made his thoughts as clear as the clouds.

He instantly concluded that the old man was not very human—not because he couldn't identify it—but because the old man's temperament was very similar to when Lu Yuan lived in seclusion in Shaomu Mountain, which was a kind of detachment that was born after a long period of tranquility.

Lu Yuan is now running around for the Dawn every day, I'm afraid he doesn't have that kind of state of mind.

Lu Yuan's mind moved. I think of something that is useless to myself, but useful to the owner of the dockyard.

As soon as he flipped his hand, there was a thick, arm-long scroll of paper in his hand. Lu Yuan held it in both hands. Solemnly handed it to Oren. "Old sir, people die and their debts are not repaid. You won't be at a loss. I don't have any money right now, but I still have a priceless treasure! Such a thing is for the master of shipbuilding. Even millions of pesos are not exchanged! ”

"(1-star) Heavy Galen Ship Blueprint", taken from Governor LeBron's Magic Ship Crafting Blueprint.

Lu Yuan felt useless, firstly, because he really didn't like Galen-style sailboats; The second is the analysis and use of shipbuilding drawings, which are related to the carpentry grade. A one-star magic ship requires a full value of one hundred carpentry, and Lu Yuan's current carpentry level is only three out of twenty, and looking at the drawings is the same as the book from heaven.

At this time, not to mention almost all the full-value shipbuilders, they should have lived in Europe. Even if you can find a trustworthy one in the Caribbean to help build it, the price of a ship-building ship is in the millions! It's not surprising that it cost tens of millions of pesos to build.

At a price of tens of millions, build a heavy Galen battleship with unknown attributes?! Unless I'm crazy......

For this drawing, Lu Yuan's idea is to cash out!

Then it's not bad to send it out now.

The old man Oren's expression became very strange, and Lu Yuan looked at him and couldn't tell whether there was joy or sadness on his face. What emerged at that moment was a very complex emotion, like the life of an old man.

Oron didn't open the drawing, he just kept scratching the surface of the ship's drawing, as if he were ...... Petting a small child. Two lines of tears slowly welled up from his yellow eyes, slowly flowing down the furrows and wrinkles on his face.

Like two streams in the cracked earth......

The old man raised his head, smiled, wiped away his tears very freely, and explained to Lu Yuan, "This drawing you brought was actually designed by me when I was thirty years old...... Alas, at that time, he was young and vigorous, and he was also trying to compete with others...... In short, after the design was completed, it was presented to His Majesty the King on the same day. His Majesty praised my design and canonized me as a master shipbuilder......

Speaking of this, the old man shook his head again, but this time with a little regret. "However, over the years, as I have built more and more ships, I have begun to reflect on my design back then, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that there are so many shortcomings in my ideas that I am ashamed! On the contrary, it was the old man's opponent, although he left Spain in embarrassment. But later he became famous in Britain, and his disciples and grandchildren spread all over the British Navy.

I've always wanted to get this manufacturing drawing back. However, I don't know who the Emperor gave the drawings to, and I have never heard the news that this ship was built. Later, my emperor ...... This matter is also put down.

I thought it was a pity. To stay for a lifetime. I didn't expect that God would return the person who was about to enter the earth into my hands again!

This gift...... It's not something that can be done by renovating a small boat! You wait first. ”

The old man rubbed his hands together and turned and went into the inner room of the dock.

After a while, he took out two golden drawings. This kind of shipbuilding drawings are different from the shipbuilding drawings taken out by Lu Yuan, and the "deterioration" drawings belong to the same category, and they belong to the transformation category.

"These are some of the old man's thoughts over the years, and they are not worth any money, so let's take them as the old man's thoughts."

*******

At this time, there was a sudden noise outside the dock! The buzzing of an iron piece hanging in the corner of the dock. But it was someone from outside who was warning. Lu Yuan heard more clearly, there were about a hundred musketeers outside the house who were dividing into several ways to surround this place, and it was obvious that McLaren was doing something again.

It turned out that after McLaren went back angrily, the more he thought about it, the more he didn't feel good, so he simply sent people to surround the dock, intending to arrest Lu Yuan and Elizabeth directly! Anyway, Elizabeth sneaked away to the New World, and the aristocracy only came into contact with Helena's family...... McLaren was the second son, for the title. He does everything.

Lu Yuan glanced at the "Kraken" that had been reformed with regret, pulled out the "Tanatos", and prepared to rush out of the Lu with Elizabeth first, and the ship could only turn back. McLaren turned around just too fast. actually let Lu Yuan have no time to prepare at all!

"Wait!" Oron shouted, "Go and prepare your ship!" You have a quarter of an hour. ”

Old man Oren picked up a carpentry axe and held a cigar to his mouth. In two by three, he cut several ropes tied to the pillars on the side. Only a "boom" was heard outside, followed by the scolding and beating of the musketeers. The door of the workshop was firmly pressed down by a falling log gate! Then there was another "boom". On the inside of the dock's door, a gate also fell down. Seal off the aisles completely!

Oron dropped his axe and turned a wooden winch on the side. With a toothache "gurgling", the dock's water gate slowly stirred the water and lifted it upward, and the road to the sea completely gave way!

"Uncle Oren, thank you!"

"Let's go! Let's go! I hope to see you again in the future! The old man waved his hand, and he held the blueprint of the Galen ship, and got out of the small door on the side. The old man ran away first, and he didn't have a few years to live, so he didn't die with you. ”

Lu Yuan smiled and saluted the old man's back. The heart said that with the strength of your axe, why do I think you will have no problem living for another ten years? I'm going to have to find you to change the ship in the future!

If you talk about the physical value alone, the one-star Galen magic ship manufacturing drawings are worth millions of pesos, to say the least! It's not like two golden renovation drawings are equivalent at all. However, in the old man's heart, that drawing must be full of flaws and regrets, except as a memory of his youth, there is no more realistic value - the biggest possibility in the future is that the old man will quietly hide it and accompany the old man to pass away. Instead of actually building a magical Galen ship of the last generation, to be criticized by the world.

In the old man's heart, no matter how unwilling he was to accept it, his dignity as a master shipbuilder made him have to admit that the era of Galen ships was indeed coming to an end.

[Quasi-gold-level transformation blueprints, only for Lu Yuan, carpenter skills greater than 40 are required to view.] 】

[Gold-level transformation blueprints, only for Lu Yuan, require carpenter skills greater than 60 to view.] 】

Lu Yuan smiled and put away the two drawings that could not see the contents.

Because he has a background as a mechanic and has strong hands-on ability, he has accurate measurements in his eyes, and he has more than ten years of forging experience in his hands. These days, the old man has said many times that he wants to teach him how to build a ship, but Lu Yuan has shirked it without hesitation. Outcome...... Trick him here.

Listening to the increasingly strong crashing sound outside, "Let's go!" Lu Yuan picked up Elizabeth and jumped onto the stern of the Siren.

**********

The dockyard was built on the west side of the port of Trinidad, quite a distance from the town. The dock interior is long and narrow front and back. Half of it is seawater, and when you open the water gate, you can directly connect to the sea. The other half is a pouring approach. There are logs underneath, and the "Kraken" is parked at the top edge. The bottom of the boat was completely exposed.

At this time, there was no dry dock, and the docks were built directly by the sea, and the sea water was below. The boat sailed into the dock, then pulled up a slope with logs underneath it, allowing the bottom of the boat to lift the bottom out of the water. (Only small boats do this, large ships can be crushed by their own weight)

It is well known that marine life can be attached to the bottom of the ship, especially the wooden-hulled boat. Algae and barnacles grow at the waterline. If you don't clean it up in time, it is no longer a dream to gain 20% of your weight a year! After the worst, the fast boat becomes a slow boat, and the slow boat becomes a tugboat.

The transformation of the "Kraken" this time is mainly based on thorough cleaning and reinforcement of the bottom warehouse, which is a small change.

It is not uncommon for a long-term overhaul ship not only to dismantle the sails, but also to remove the mast, and it is not uncommon for the entire ship to be dismantled with only the keel. Every change point of Lu Yuan's ship was directly taken out after Lu Yuan calculated it. Therefore, the "Kraken" simply left the surface of the water and rolled up the sails and was done. It's not too much of a hassle to clean it up now.

However, the time is only a quarter of an hour, and it is still very urgent.

"You go untie the rope!" Lu Yuan pointed to the rope connecting the pier and shouted, and began to untie the rolled sails one by one. The flicked sail ropes waved one after another, and they also joined in the help.

"Obey the Captain~" Elizabeth shouted excitedly. only heard a "stab" sound, Lu Yuan turned around and was surprised to see that she actually tore off the lace of her skirt!

Even if Lu Yuan is on the side. Elizabeth still didn't care. After she tore off the tirel, she didn't hesitate to tear the skirt open two large seams. In this era, there are no underwear, and Lu Yuan can directly see the girl's sturdy white hills...... She tied the knot. It turned into a strange outfit like bloomers, revealing two shiny calves. After feeling that this aristocratic dress was no longer in the way, Elizabeth quickly ran to untie the cable.

"Look at what! Get to work! Do we have a lot of time?! She exclaimed, "Oh, ah! Lu Yuan, who was completely attracted just now, turned his head in embarrassment and manipulated those drooping ropes again!

"We're on the run! Yo hoo~~!! Elizabeth cheered, the corners of Lu Yuan's mouth couldn't help but smile, and most of the tension just now dissipated! yes, I'm already on the ship, what else can stop me?!

There was an explosion outside! They're starting to blow up doors with powder kegs?!

"Lu, did you really defeat the 'Barrier'?" Despite the urgency, Elizabeth couldn't help her curiosity. The main thing is that what McLaren said is true, and she can't help but not doubt it.

"Is it difficult?" Lu Yuan untied the last sail rope and stretched out the stern sail, and he looked at the wrench hanging from the side of the door—the wrench held the rope in place, and the rope pulled the log at the bottom of the boat. "You'll be honored to see it a second time!"

"Coax!" With an explosion, the last gate to enter the dock was also blown open, and the log collapsed to the left!

Lu Yuan picked up a long truss pole on his tiptoes, and reached out to grab it. Just like throwing a javelin, the body is bent into the shape of a bow, and it is full of strength. Elizabeth peeked behind her, her little mouth slightly open.

"Catch them!" Lu Yuan regretted to see that the one who took the lead in rushing in was actually only a member of the McLaren officer corps, not McLaren. Otherwise, Lu Yuan really wanted to teach him a profound lesson first! He exerted his strength and shot the truss out like a bow and arrow!

The flying truss brought up phantoms, and because of the excessive speed, the tail of the truss shook violently, and made a strange whistling sound, which in the surprised eyes of the officer - brushed past his cheek, and slammed into the fixed iron wrench!

"Click!" With the sound of the wood breaking, the bottom of the boat, the log laid on the slope, loosened, and then rolled like a tide!

"Hold on!" The Kraken bounced and jumped on the rolling logs, heading straight for the ocean! The entire hull of the ship was violently shaking, the waving mast made a dangerous overload sound, and Lu Yuan firmly grasped the helm platform with one hand and stood there steadily. He saw Elizabeth staggering with the ship, in danger of being thrown out of the ship at any moment, and immediately stretched out his hand. The "Activation Rope" flew up with a cable, grabbed Elizabeth from below, and tied her to the mainmast in a twist and turn!

It's going to die! As soon as Lu Yuan tied her up, he heard a "bang", and then there were wet marks on the root of the "bloomers...... Lu Yuan swallowed and forced himself to turn his head away from looking at Elizabeth's completely blushing face. He hated his keen senses very much now, and he actually saw the process from the binding to the peak just now, and he could still play it back in his subbrain...... It's so obscene! Must be deleted...... Let's stay for a while, it's an emergency, not the time to think about it!

Uh-huh, I didn't expect her to be tied up M!? Could it be the attribute that was stimulated last time?

Being tied up by a sudden attack, she was defeated by a sudden feeling. Elizabeth, who was ashamed to death, was now completely unable to move except for her head, and the strange rope seemed to be slowly moving back and forth, bringing more and more strange feelings...... Ahh In order to avoid Lu Yuan's gaze and calm herself, Elizabeth had to look up at the zenith.

"Ah~ah~ah~ah~!!" She suddenly let out a high-pitched cry, "There's still rope there!" ”

Lu Yuan looked up in surprise, only to find that there was actually a rope connecting the main mast and the ceiling! And the rope was sliding down with the "Kraken", and it was rapidly taut......

"Shoot! Shoot! "The frightened officer before touched his wind-shaken, still unconscious face, and shouted frantically." Bang~Bang~Bang~" The musketeers, who were already lined up on the edge of the wooden platform, pulled the trigger, and the muskets spewed out streams of flames, and the projectiles swarmed towards the two people.
