As the saying goes, you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder. The blind Matt didn't know that Fang Senyan only regarded the position of the boatswain as a springboard, and he definitely had no intention of working on it until retirement and getting a pension, so his proposal could be said to be a hit for Fang Senyan, so after Fang Senyan paid ten pounds, he got the opportunity to practice the basic footsteps with the blind Matt for one hour in the morning for three consecutive days, and each practice had a 30% chance to improve the basic footwork ability. However, the maximum increase will not exceed the level of Lv3 of the Basic Footsteps mastered by Blind Matt.

The blind Matt was also very anxious, because he also thought that he was not Fang Senyan's opponent in terms of organization and scheduling and head-on confrontation, so this opportunity to practice his footsteps was also a rare stage for him to show his strengths that could be stronger than Fang Senyan. Therefore, although there were not many pirates left on the ship at this time, he still asked Fang Senyan to come and practice for an hour in the morning, Fang Senyan also took a positive response to his move, and the final result was that both of them were happy, Fang Senyan succeeded in winning a 30% chance this time, and the basic footsteps were successfully improved to lv2, and the blind Matt also successfully used his dexterous steps to set off Fang Senyan's clumsiness, and won an amazement among the pirates.

After raising his basic footsteps by one level, Fang Senyan finally made up for his shortcomings in melee combat. The three most important castes for melee combat are undoubtedly strength, agility, and stamina, which determines power and the ability to suppress the enemy in combat, agility is the embodiment of speed, and physical strength determines how long you can support in battle. For the difficulty of this world, Fang Senyan's 12 strength (not counting the title bonus, because of the limited surname) is already considered to be above average, and the HP of up to 170 points is even more excellent, only the 8 agility points are his weakest link.

In the real world, there is a very philosophical principle of wooden barrels, that is, how much water a barrel can hold is not determined by its longest barrel, but by the shortest barrel. At this time, Fang Senyan's basic footsteps were raised to lv2, which undoubtedly raised his entire strength to a higher level. And he also has two more opportunities to practice with the blind Matt, if he can seize the opportunity to improve the first-level basic step again, then Fang Senyan's future plan will undoubtedly be more helpful.

After getting these trivial things in order, Fang Senyan went to the ship to test fire the arquebus again to see if he could cultivate abilities such as basic long-range combat, but unfortunately he obviously didn't have any talent in this area, and the hit rate of targets beyond five meters was miserable. It seems that all the inventory on the bell and wine glass will be wasted and there will be no improvement, but Kerry still wants to sneak two shots next to him to get over it. But Robben, the second lieutenant, stepped forward at once, and put a stern and straight face to stop this waste of public property, even though he had diligently loaded Fang Senyan with the gun he had used to test fire a minute earlier.

For these pirates, at this time this kind of strong wind and waves and gloomy weather can be directly equated with paid annual leave, most pirate captains will let their ships anchor in the harbor, let these rabbit cubs under their hands have a hearty catharsis, of course, the side effect is to spend the last penny in their pockets on women, spirits, and gambling, so that once the weather is clear, these poor crumbs will even lose their pants will scream, and the morale will be high and swoop on the wealth of the merchant ship.

Therefore, even if he is strict, he can only let his men rush to the bar and casino after training his men for an hour or so every morning, otherwise these murderous and rude guys will not be able to endure such "tyranny" and flee one after another, after all, for pirates, this is still in the period of "economic recovery", and the pirate ships will continue to recruit manpower, and a high-quality senior pirate who dares to fight is still very popular if he wants to find a job.

It wasn't interesting to stay alone on an empty pirate ship, and Fang Senyan also got off the boat directly, planning to go to the bar to bump into his luck, and by the way, see if he could find any hidden quests or meet the pirate Yunyun with the same surname as himself. But unfortunately, after wasting a full two hours, he found that such an attempt was probably similar to trying to buy a lottery ticket to win the big luck - at this time, Fang Senyan suddenly remembered the old cross he had obtained from the transaction with Old Barry, which was said to be a token of some alchemist master. He was a little ignorant of this general transaction at that time, because Old Barry was not a kind person, and his crazy squeezing obviously left a very bad impression on him, so even Fang Senyan didn't pay much attention to this so-called alchemy master, but in his free time now, when he didn't know what to do, Fang Senyan could only go and take a look to pass the time.

Under the guidance of a pirate, Fang Senyan walked on the mottled stone road to the end of the eastern end of the port, because of the wind and rain, the port road that looked relatively beautiful and flat on a sunny day has now become a swamp covered with stones, and if you are not careful when walking, you will shoot out a dirty earthy yellow water stream from the broken stone slab under your feet, splashing your pants all over the place, let alone the passing carriage.

As you can see from the deep ruts in some of the stone slabs, the main roads in the harbor have not been maintained for at least twenty years, and it is clear that the Fokker family, who ruled the free port, had not focused on maintaining the harbor at all. From this point of view, it is not accidental that the port of Tutuga is declining, and if it were not for the solid foundation laid by the ancestors, I believe that it would be a miracle that even the support until this time came.

Although alchemy is mostly associated with a variety of materials and medicines, it is actually only a branch of alchemy. The origin of alchemy is people's desire for gold, a beautiful and rare precious metal, so the ultimate dream and subject of every alchemist is to study how to convert cheap metals such as lead, iron, and copper into gold. And on the long road of alchemy, the foundation of modern chemistry has also been laid.

In front of Fang Senyan was now a very typical alchemist's house, with dense windows that could quickly evaporate the poisonous gases inside, and the steeple house enlarged the area of the attic, which could undoubtedly store more materials. The mottled black walls around it are a sign of frequent fires, but it looks like the fire should be extinguished as quickly as it starts.

Fang Senyan knocked on the sturdy and heavy oak door in front of him, no one responded, the sound back was a sound of wings fluttering, and then the door opened silently, there was no "crunch" sound expected by Fang Senyan, and he was faced with an owl hanging in a birdcage made of beech wood, this guy tilted his head and stared at Fang Senyan with a pair of emerald green vertical pupils. Fang Senyan even noticed that the area was very large, and the table next to it was stacked with various used crystal beakers, test tubes, distillers, and half-drunk coffee, and plates that looked like they had dried up ketchup....... but fortunately there were no flies flying everywhere - otherwise we would have to pay tribute to the strong gastrointestinal tract of the owner of this place.

An old man wearing a pointed black hat sat behind the test bench five meters away, he raised his head when he heard the sound, his eyes penetrated the dirty test tube in front of him, the dark green boiling liquid, and the lit alcohol lamp was poured into Fang Senyan's face. Obviously, Fang Senyan's pitiful charm failed to play any positive role, and the wrinkled old man said sternly:

"Get out! No rude and stupid guys are welcome here! ”

Fang Senyan reluctantly took out the worn-out cross, hung it on his finger and shook it. The old man was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand, as if to verify the authenticity of this cross, and after a long time said impatiently:

"It looks like old Barry owes you a favor...... But he doesn't seem to tell you that he owes ten pounds to the great alchemist Mr. Bacon, right? Fang Senyan was stunned and said:

"What does that have to do with me?" Bacon said coldly:

"Since old Barry has given you this cross, it means that he himself will not patronize my business again, and the loan will become a dead debt, and of course it will fall on you to pay it." Fang Senyan still wanted to distinguish a few words, but soon he realized that it was in vain, there were only two ways in front of this strange old man, one was to turn around and walk out, and the other was to obediently give him ten pounds. If I continue to talk about it, I am afraid that I will not even have the opportunity to give ten pounds. After paying a large amount of money, Fang Senyan finally obtained the right to enjoy alchemical services.

At Bacon's suggestion, Fang Senyan sat down on a stool next to him, and on the wall next to him was a mural that looked weird, with an evil smile of the sun with an upturned beard, and a string of small bells hanging from the crescent moon in the lower right corner. In the world of alchemy, the sun symbolizes gold and the moon represents silver, and the meaning of this painting symbolizes the two ultimate goals of the alchemist world. Just when Fang Senyan was wondering if it was a waste of time to sit on this stool, black smoke suddenly appeared on the table in front of him, which looked terrible, and then he burned the fonts one by one on the table.
