Chapter 38: The Secrets of the Chloe Family

Nearly a month had passed since the departure from the pirate city, and there was not much food and fresh water left on the ship, so everyone had to find a relatively nearby dock to buy supplies before heading to the Fiana Empire.

At night, the four of them were playing war chess in the captain's room, the war chess of this world was very different from any kind of chess in Chen Cheng's memory, the war chess here was divided into seven kinds of chess pieces, such as king, commander, swordsman, gunner, magician, priest, soldier, etc., each chess piece had a different range of movement and attack, and the chessboard was 36*36 in scale, which could be divided into two people or four people.

Sojes is also from an aristocratic background, usually in addition to the practice of martial arts, for this kind of game that is beneficial to improving tactical literacy will naturally be involved, Genevia is born to play, and the interest in chess and card games is even much greater than that of Sojes, as for Will and Cervantes, they just understand the basic moves, so the two of them are miserable by Sojes and Genevia.

This can't be helped, as a gunner, Will naturally instinctively likes to use gunner chess pieces when he is not very familiar with war chess, in the rules, the gunner's chess pieces have a long range but a small range of movement, although the swordsman only has a one-square attack range but has the largest movement range, Sorjes easily killed Will's gunner chess pieces and saw his sad face.

"Don't play! Admit defeat, a pair of dog men and women!" Will angrily pulled all the chess pieces off the chessboard, and muttered a little unconvinced: "No matter how good you play chess, it's useless if you don't know how to fight, I'm still honestly a gunner." ”

Sojes smiled and soothed Will's emotions: "What you said is right, this war chess is also entertainment, not very real, as if it is now the age of sailing, and the wars of major countries are also the way of naval warfare, and war chess only shows the importance of professional matching, but people can't understand the importance of a good ship." ”

Will slapped his thigh and shouted: "Yes, naval warfare relies on boats, and if the melee professional level is not high, if you don't fight broadside battles, you can only stand on the ship to carry shells and play flags, and naval warfare must be the world of long-range professions!"

The corners of Will's mouth twitched when he saw Sojers' expression of smugness, and he couldn't help but cover his face: I actually comforted this thing, knowing that this guy was thick-skinned like something......

For these two masters who became out of tune when they got together, Cervantes wisely changed the topic: "But Jack, speaking of which, Will is not wrong, with our current staffing, in addition to battlefield command, the actual combat role you usually play is not even as good as that of Genevia, before you are promoted to the fifth order, we really have to find a way to get a good ship, it is best to get a magic ship, even if it is a C-class similar to the Rattlesnake." ”

After pondering for a while, Sojes shook his head and sighed: "It's still not possible, even if you take back all the money that was distributed to the pirates before, and sell two more ironclad ships, it won't add up enough to buy a magic ship, I don't know about other places, at least in the French Empire, even a C-class magic ship will cost at least 20,000 gold coins, don't look at the cheap ordinary ships in the pirate city, but the level of magic armor technicians there is not as good as the empire, and the magic ships on their side will be more expensive than the empire." ”

Hearing this price, everyone was silent, but Will said weakly: "The price of Flang's magic ship is also relatively expensive among the seven empires, and the cheapest should be the Colt Empire, but it may not be cheaper, and the Colt Empire has more magicians than the rest of the empires, in case we encounter a navy accompanied by magicians, it is estimated that it will be a problem for us to escape without paying a price." ”

Indeed, although the mage's own defense ability is extremely low, but when it comes to long-range strike ability, it is even far beyond the gunner, the horror of the gunner mainly lies in the ability to snipe at a single target, and the mage causes a wide range of damage, therefore, after the mage reaches the fourth order, its killing ability can already be compared to or even exceed the ordinary magic ship.

For a while, the three big men were a little at a loss, if there was no foreign enemy of the War Scorpion Pirate Group, they could have grown steadily step by step, but now it is time to wait, the strength of the other party is above the Dragon Tooth Pirate Group, and there is also the Fiana Empire as a backing, and its development speed is naturally stronger than that of ordinary pirate groups, if the Dragon Tooth Pirate Group cannot strengthen its power in a short period of time, then for a long time it can only pray to the sky that Nathan will be wiped out by the enemy group one day.

At this time, Genevia broke the silence, as if she had made some kind of important decision, and her words this time were very solemn: "Blue, I think I should have a way to help you get a magic ship." "What are you talking about?!" Sojes sat up straight, Will's slender eyes widening at the words.

As if he didn't expect such a big reaction from the three of them, Genesvia was taken aback, but still repeated what she had just said: "I said, I should have a way to help you get a magic ship!" "Could it be that the legend is true?" Cervantes stared at Genevia blankly, muttering to himself, everyone was also deaf and clear-sighted, naturally heard his babbling, Sojes frowned, and asked:

To be honest, he himself generally does not believe in the so-called legends, although he also thinks that this kind of theory is not groundless, but since it is a legend, it will be beautified for so long, and there is often a considerable factual gap between the truth of the legend and the remarks circulating on the mainland.

Cervantes looked at Genevia with an inquiring gaze, nodded when he saw her, and then spoke: "The pirate king Nodia back then, I think you must have heard of it, right?" Sojes rolled his eyes, isn't this nonsense, when a pirate has never heard of the pirate king...... Cervantes also realized that his problem was a bit wrong, and Jun's face was a little red, but fortunately, the light in the captain's room was relatively weak, and everyone didn't notice his embarrassment.

"I won't talk about the legend of Nodia, but according to rumors, he is close friends with an armed merchant with the surname Chloe, and you should know what I mean when I say this, right?" "I don't understand!" Sojes shook his head honestly, puzzled: " Although I know what you mean, the armed merchant who can deal with the Pirate King must have the strength to own the magic weapon ship, but the Pirate King has been a thousand years ago, and for such a long time, the armed merchant must have left the magic weapon ship to future generations, but it is impossible for the current Chloe family to still have a magic weapon ship, otherwise how could Wei Ya be sold by that group of bastards?"

Rolling his eyes, Cervantes said angrily: "According to what you say, since the magic ship has long ceased to exist, how did the Chloe family survive to this day? "That's right. Genevia said.

"Before the ancestor died, he once sealed the magic ship named 'Xianglong' in a place that no one knew, and although he left a clue, but the clue is very secret, his descendants have always wanted to find the Xianglong to recreate the glory of the family day but never guessed its sealed place, if it wasn't for an accident, I might have regarded this incident as a legend. ”
