Chapter Eighty-Nine: Reinforcing the Ships
The river was raging across the wide Black Songde River, and the corpse of the orc suddenly began to spontaneously combust after collapsing, and the terrifying sight of the flames caused the bright lion to let out a terrible howl.
In normal times, Alan might have been curious about the lion's intelligence and Andre's methods, but now, he didn't have much of the heart to think about it.
From the construction of the boat to the present, their journey has been relatively smooth, although there are some twists and turns at the moment, but it is basically insignificant, but this "insignificant" orc does not seem to let Alan and them go.
"Do you want to pull a cushion back when you die?" The spit out of his mouth did not make Alan feel relaxed, and he was now in a rather heavy mood.
Although it is not clear what happened somewhere in the plains, Eren and his party are still "like a great enemy" because of the howls of the orcs before they die.
After seeing the orc's arrows just now, Alan no longer had much hope that the broad Black Songde might be able to protect the boat.
So after killing the orcs, they didn't have any idea of going ashore to collect the loot, but quickly left here.
According to the Andrew brothers, not all orcs have the strength to cross the wide Black Songde River to attack the boat, and it can even be said that ordinary orcs can't attack the boat at all.
They only need to guard against those orcs who are not orcs, just like the orcs who rode the lion before.
This kind of orcs is relatively not too many, but that is only relatively speaking, in terms of the bearing capacity of the small boat and the situation on the ship, it does not need a lot, only about ten such orcs, and there is basically no power to fight back.
This is what Andrew told Allen, and he himself said that the assessment of strength is also his own, and Allen is inexperienced and has no concept at all.
The boat sped up rapidly, and the father and son seemed to have used their strength to eat by this time, about a third faster than before.
Their purpose in doing this is naturally to get away from the place of the incident just now, and they don't expect to be able to get rid of the orcs who are about to come, and it is good to delay a little longer.
At the same time, the Andrew brothers began to strengthen the ship with various items that were previously used as spare items on the ship, this improvised small boat is not very strong, and it is okay to operate normally because of the Naga Auxiliary Soul to control the water, but if it is attacked on a large scale, it will probably end up capsizing in a few strokes.
Before, because they were afraid that the boat would break down, they brought some wood and animal skins with them when they got on the boat, which was just right to strengthen the ship.
Time is pressing, Alan is also busy, but he actually can't help much, this kind of ship repair work requires some skills, he has never learned about ships before, and he has not been on a boat much, so he is naturally not very good at technical work.
So he can only do some errands, handing things, or holding a nail and the like, but this is not in vain, with his support, the Andrew brothers are relatively fast to strengthen the ship.
The boat was running rapidly in the river, and the waves under the boat and the surface of the river were splashing in all directions, and Alan and the others were splashed by the water from time to time. The whole body was basically soaked, and there was an armor barrier, and the Alan and Andrew brothers didn't feel anything by then, and the Amis father and son looked very embarrassed.
Luckily they don't feel anything about it, no, seriously they do - comfortable!
As for some of the characteristics of auxiliary souls, because of the continuous experiments, Alan still knows something, but even if he doesn't understand it now, he can see the expression on the faces of the Amis father and son that they enjoy it, and it seems that they are very fond of the dampness caused by the splash.
"Naga Soul can make them like dampness, but what if it's a Dream Snake Soul?"
The Dream Snake is a special magical beast that lives in the clouds in the sky, and although Alan has never seen it, he is not ignorant of this magical beast from the books and the stories of the mercenaries.
Remembering some of the disgusting habits described in the book about the Dream Snake, Alan shuddered unconsciously.
"It's horrible. ”
Shaking his head to shake off a certain image that suddenly appeared in his mind, Alan reached out and grabbed it, but suddenly grabbed it, looked down, and found that the pine cone wood, the main material for reinforcing the ship, had been consumed.
Seeing this, Alan couldn't help but sigh, looking at the appearance of the ship under his feet after being reinforced, and his heart was a little worried.
"I hope I can hold on. ”
Brother Andrew didn't seem to be worried, and after reinforcing the boat, his brother Andre rolled over and lay down on the boat. Andrew looked at Alan.
"Young Master Allen, if the attack is too fierce for a while, you will hide behind the two of us brothers, don't show your head!"
He looked very cautious, and he seemed very serious when he told Allen, to which Allen nodded, without the slightest objection.
His own family knows his own affairs, and he is still self-aware of his own strength, although he has a certain degree of aggression, but compared to Brother Andrew and those orcs, his strength is only about to lag behind.
However, this does not make him seem to have any feelings of inferiority, because of the failure of the bloodline awakening, his own melee ability seems to be like this, if he wants to improve, unless he finds some special melee means from the six-pointed star, he is just an ordinary person with a strong physique and good melee skills.
His current development direction is mage, so he doesn't care too much about the weakness of his melee ability, of course, it's just not very much, and Alan still doesn't feel very comfortable with being protected at this time.
So he looked at his six-pointed star.
At this time, the six-pointed star on his left wrist, five light blue star horns twinkled quietly, and as Allen looked over, it suddenly lit up, and seemed to change with his mind.
It's been about two weeks since the end of the Bright of the Stars, and the results he brought from selling the Wind Elemental Staff have begun to appear, according to Allen's estimate, he can harvest about five hundred energy clusters, and in other words, it is still no problem to draw a fourteen or fifteen white gifts, but what is above the white?
Alan was very curious about this, so he didn't choose to open it immediately when he could harvest the white gift, but just saved up, wanting to wait until the white star horn was filled to see what happened after the white star.
Then the six-pointed star turns blue, light blue.
The fermentation brought by the staff is actually just a beginning, and as time continues, it won't be long before he can come to a white extraction, that is, a blue gift, but according to the current state, his idea is afraid that it will be in vain.
"Forget it, I can't use the white spell a few times now, although it is very tempting to extract blue, but it is estimated that it is useless, there is only so much magic, maybe it can't even be released, but it is better to extract it now, maybe it can deal with the current situation." ”
Secretly comforting himself, Alan glanced around the boat at this time, and after finding that there was no danger for the time being, he leaned on the stern of the boat, then took a deep breath and chose to start!
