Chapter 561: A New Legend
A day later. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Beneath the cliffs of the fortress, the gates of the hidden harbor are sealed with huge iron locks. The loud sound of steel kept coming from behind the huge iron gates.
A continuous roar rang out.
The sound of power cutting axes and hydraulic presses running is heard one after another.
And screams rang out.
"Mr. Ye, help, Mr. Ye, help!"
Igor cried and pounced, hugging Ye Qingxuan's thighs: "Save my child!
Ye Qingxuan, who had just entered the door, looked up in confusion and saw that the underground port, which had been changed beyond recognition, was full of metal cranes and scaffolding.
It has been transformed into a huge workshop.
The protagonist lies on a high platform rising from the water, framed by layers of steel cables, riddled with holes...... It was Igor's ship, which had just come out and been launched, and it hadn't even had time to name it yet......
"So fast?"
Ye Qingxuan coughed awkwardly and looked at Carol next to him with an embarrassed expression. Carol rolled her eyes and looked at the dome as if she wanted to see a flower.
Ye Qingxuan sighed and patted Igor on the shoulder:
"Captain, you get up first...... Let's take our time. ”
Rumble!
A loud bang interrupted him, and Igor let out a scream like a mournful woman, and almost rolled his eyes and turned his back on the air. Behind them, the erected ship was completely broken in two under the operation of the engineer.
Half an hour later......
"Anyway, it's almost scrapped by this point. ”
Ye Qingxuan handed a cup of hot tea to Igor, who was covering his face and crying, and Igor squatted on the steps, draped in a blanket, and watched with tears in his eyes that his ship was dismembered, and he had no love.
"After all, it's a merchant ship, and it's already incredible to be able to hit the big luck and kill the nomadic mountain. You can't hope it can go on, do you? The keels are about to break, the four engines have blown up three and a half times, and the foredeck has been burned with a big hole...... You see, it's completely hopeless. ”
"Whose fault is this?"
Igor wept: "What a ship that I have saved up all my life to get in exchange for it! Is it easy for me? My dream of whitewashing! I still expect it to earn me a lord at sea......
Ye Qingxuan sighed, "Okay, don't pretend to be a little girl, Mr. Igor." Where did we get so many grievances and entanglements? Who was the one who rushed into the sea of light when he saw my check?
I didn't force you to come here, did I?
I know this ship is important to you, but there's really nothing you can do about it at the moment...... You have two options. ”
"Which two?"
As soon as Igor heard this, he became energetic, wiped his eyes, stared at Ye Qingxuan with bloodshot eyes, and almost took out a portable calculator and began to negotiate the price.
"I'm sorry, but I'm going to give you bad news first. ”
Ye Qingxuan raised his eyebrows: "The deposit I paid you is actually my last money, so don't expect to take out another dollar from my destitute sect account." ”
"!"
Igor was furious and jumped up: "The tail money!
"What's the hurry?" Ye Qingxuan plucked his nostrils and looked scoundrel: "When I save Anglo and recover Anglo, the entire treasury will not be taken by you, and it will be easy to pay you ten times the reward...... It's venture capital, venture capital, Mr. Igor, you have to take a risk before you get a return. ”
Igor's face was pale, and he pointed at Ye Qingxuan who was speechless.
"Now that you're on the thief ship, Mr. Igor, don't talk about refunding your ticket and leaving. Ye Qingxuan patted him on the shoulder, with a calm expression: "Come, sit down, let's have a good talk...... Two choices about you. ”
Igor glared at him for a long time, and squeezed out a word from between his teeth:
"Speak!"
"First ......"
Ye Qingxuan raised a finger: "Your ship was requisitioned by us, and everything that happens next has nothing to do with you." In the name of Sherlock Holmes, I promise you that when Avalon recovers, there will be a smuggling route from Cloudlou City to you, and only you can use it.
Next, you just need to find a gentleman who is willing to lend you usury, someone like me, and you can start recruiting troops and have your own fleet.
Think about it, the annual trade between the East and the West, the silk route flowing with green gold - even a fraction of a hundred thousandth, is enough for you to get rich overnight, not to mention the Lord, when the time comes, as long as you buy enough national debt, there will definitely be a country willing to help you become a registered nobleman in the Holy City.
Between your surname and first name, you will be able to add the noble character 'Feng', say goodbye to your past poor life, and become a noble person. ”
Dead......
Igor swallowed and foamed, staring at Ye Qingxuan with wide eyes, and his eyes were burned red by the vision depicted by Ye Qingxuan.
"You...... Seriously?"
"If I can succeed. ”
Ye Qingxuan spread his hands, looking like a scoundrel, but there was no playfulness in his eyes: "But compared with the risk, the reward is already a hundred times rich, isn't it?"
Igor had an urge to say yes at once, but a premonition was drilling through his mind like an earthworm, tickling his heart as if it were on fire.
He spoke, but was startled by his own hoarse voice:
"That'...... What about the second one?"
"The second?"
Ye Qingxuan smiled, that smile was extraordinarily pleasant, like when a predator brought food to the plate and clenched his knife and fork.
He reached out and patted Igor on the shoulder:
"Mr. Igor, you are a good captain, even among the pirates of the Phantom Isles, one of the best in the world, a Wave Fighter, this title is really good, I like it very much. ”
Igor was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little furious in his heart: "How are you ...... Do you know this?"
"Don't be afraid. ”
Ye Qingxuan pointed to his brain: "You have to believe it, I really didn't mean it." Although I am a psychiatrist, and the best of the best, I have never had the pleasure of snooping into other people's thoughts.
However, when my thoughts were connected to your mind, those flawed mental defenses were really not much different from none. If you're not careful, you'll have an unobstructed view......"
Igor suddenly showed a dog's expression, but Ye Qingxuan was still smiling and enthusiastic:
"I am especially pleased with your experience in combat and your faithful character, Mr. Igor. And you have eighty brave and obedient lads who, just as tired of the plundering life as you are, and want to get out of it...... And coincidentally, I have a new job for you here.
A perfect job you never dreamed of. ”
Igor was stunned for a moment, then realized and glanced at Ye Qingxuan:
"Die for you?"
"Anyway, it's not the same originally, is it for sale?" Ye Qingxuan asked rhetorically.
"Can prostitution and marriage be the same?"
Igor jumped up, shook his head and refused: "Originally, we were hired! We collect money to work! Although we are not pirates, we will never give up our freedom and become your dogs!"
“...... Mr. Igor, if you don't know metaphors, don't use descriptions, okay?"
Ye Qingxuan's expression twitched, and he sighed: "Anyway, that's it in a nutshell, if you work for me, you can wash your name, recruit An, and become Anglu's navy ......"
He paused, looked at the ship being dismantled, and his voice became muffled: "I can let you pilot a legendary warship that is unique in this world.
You will have the opportunity to transcend the legends of the Empress's Vengeance, the Dreadnought, and the Star of the Seas, and become true legends with it. ”
"Legendary ships?"
Igor was stunned for a long time, and looked at Ye Qingxuan's eyes full of suspicion: "Anglo's only legendary warship is the flagship of the Anglo Royal Navy, and the royal light created by six hundred alchemists a hundred years ago - that is the glory of Anglo's navy, even if you are a sword wielder, it is impossible to point fingers at the empress's ship." ”
"Who said it was the royal light?"
Ye Qingxuan smiled and pointed to the wreckage not far away: "I'm talking about it." ”
Before the words fell, a roar rang out.
The wheels spun wildly, with a low loud thud, the steel cables pulled, the roof of the hidden harbor opened inch by inch, and the behemoth suspended by the tower crane slowly descended from the sky.
Under the light of the white light, the huge shadow revealed a hideous outline.
The long-dead beast still exudes a hideous aura, and in the huge crack above its right eye, the marrow burned by venom can be faintly seen.
"Nomadic Mountain?"
Igor was dumbfounded.
At the sound of the command, the engineer in a protective suit landed on top of it along the steel cable, and began to quickly mark the location of the knife according to the blueprint around his waist, holding a paint bucket and brush in his hand.
The giant cutter was loaded with the force of exoskeleton armor, and several workers pushed a giant knife saw, more than five meters high, rolled from the warehouse.
After the assembly is completed, a trial operation is carried out.
The frantically swirling knives and saws unleashed a terrible scream, and the icy wind stung the faces of the people.
Under the command of several alchemists, the musicians of the Faith and Doctrine Department arranged the alchemy matrix on the spot and began to prepare for the first transformation process.
In a short time, the unbelievably large beast will be dismembered under the effect of a knife saw and a movement, turning it into pieces of raw material.
Peel off the scales, replace them with alchemy, and make them into outer armor.
The blood is drained, the rare elements are extracted, and the new engine is fused, and the remaining waste liquid is transformed to extract a highly efficient condensate that cannot be achieved by human processes.
Concoct the bones, relay the alchemy matrix, and soak them in a massive amount of culture fluid, and the chantor will stimulate their growth again to create a new hull skeleton.
The dead flesh is transformed by the summoner, implanted with new nerve vines and circulatory systems, and made into artificial flesh to reshape the behemoth's body.
Igor's ship will be shattered to pieces, and some of the materials that can be recovered will be smelted and strengthened before merging with the trolls of the sea.
The spine of the giant serpent is used as the keel, the flesh is the shell, and the scales are used as the armor. The engine that can't be crafted will be replaced by a modified heart, which, once activated, will bring a terrifying power that is not inferior to that of any ship.
The purifiers of the Inquisition assured Ye Qingxuan that the abilities possessed by the former Nomad Mountain would remain at least seventy percent on the hull of the ship, and that the music that called for tsunamis and storms in that extreme state would be the last nightmare before the enemy sank into the sea.
"The ship is two hundred and ten meters long, thirty meters wide, and has a draft of eight meters. The standard displacement is 30,000 tons, and the full load is 40,000 tons. The standard speed is forty knots, and the limit state can even be doubled.
Two forty-meter-long vertebrae were to be processed by the Inquisition to become its main cannons.
Unlike the castrated version of the dragon's spine sold by the Chainsaw Monks, this time we will have the Inquisition's fortress-level cannon, the Merger.
All the other materials are here. ”
Ye Qingxuan threw a thick stack of design drawings into Igor's arms, looking up at the dismembered giant snake and the blood-stained workshop.
"Igor, it's going to be the new Nomad Mountain! a living legendary sea monster, a nightmare for all voyagers!"
He paused, looked at Igor who was stunned on the ground, spread his hands, smiled and asked:
"Now, make a choice. Do you want to take a gamble and become a free rich man, or do you want to drive it, to become a legend, to become a true child of the sea?"
For a long time, for a long time.
Igor flipped through the blueprints in his hand sluggishly, and when he raised his head again, he stared at the messy workshop, as if he saw a monster gradually born from the steel womb.
"It's so beautiful......"
He muttered softly, but for some reason, tears flowed down his face.
At that moment, all that was on mind was the huge fleet of the smuggling giants, and the untold wealth and money.
The thoughts in my heart, the thoughts in my head, have been occupied by the huge warship that has not yet been born.
The mere vague outline made his hair tremble, and blood rushed to his head, almost running out of his mouth and nose.
It was the greedy impulses and wild dreams that lurked in the depths of every sailor's soul, ready to move, dancing in ecstasy, crawling in his will, roaring and roaring in his ears.
Like the tide of the sea.
Giving up his worthless dignity and ethereal freedom, he fell to his knees and climbed forward. It's like I'm enchanted, and there's only one thought left in my mind.
"Please take everything I have, Your Excellency. ”
Igor reverently kissed the dust under the young man's feet, bowed and worshipped, and spent all his life of piety, humbly pleading: "I am willing to give you everything, even if I am my soul." Please give me a chance to drive it, even if it's just for a second. ”
Ye Qingxuan laughed: "Even if you give up your freedom, Igor, you must know that if you agree, you will become my dog for the rest of your life." ”
Igor was full of joy and did not have the slightest dissatisfaction:
"That's a great honor. ”
"Then get up, my captain. ”
Ye Qingxuan patted him on the shoulder, smiled and pointed down: "Go talk to the chief engineer - what do you think of your future ship." ”
"- I promise, you will be the new legend. (To be continued.) )
