Cyril emerged from the mercenary office, followed by four sailors of various ages and the navy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Dressed in a pure white uniform and with short gray hair, a young man named Paul was an elite navy man.

Dressed in the same uniform as him, but with a badge on her chest instead of a sword and a short bow, and a young woman named Rowling with her jet-black hair tied up in a bundle and left behind her head, she was also an elite navy and extremely good at archery.

The other two are middle-aged men who are dressed slightly fancy, and their hair of different colors is tied behind their heads with cloth straps, which looks a little vicissitudes.

The slightly thinner one was called Waterf, and the taller one with tanned skin was called Jeff, both of whom were sailors.

Although Jeff and Wateroff are weaker than the navy, which is better at fighting, they play a greater role when sailing at sea.

As for the ship that Cyril had just purchased, it was also docked next to the port, and it was a sailing ship about twelve or thirteen meters long.

On the sail of the ship was a fiery dragon with flames burning all over its body, and the hull of the sailboat was not painted with any paint.

Jeff looked at the ship with his arms crossed, then nodded and said, "Yes, my lord, you have a good eye." Although this ship is not capable of fighting, it is definitely quite fast to sail. ”

Cyril was a little relieved to hear the sailors admit that he had chosen a good ship, but he still asked with some concern, "Then you two should be fine with this ship, right? ”

Patting his chest, Wateff said confidently, "You can put ten thousand hearts, my lord." Maybe we're not particularly good at head-on combat, but you can leave the boat to us, and we'll make sure we're driving fast and steady. ”

Paul opened his mouth a little hesitantly, and Cyril said directly when he saw this: "What's the matter, Paul, do you have anything to say?"

Nodding, Paul seemed to be considering his words, and after a few seconds of hesitation, he said, "My lord, as these two sailors said, this ship is definitely fast, but now another question is a problem. But since there is no defense at all, if we encounter a head-on battle, we will definitely lose very badly, of course, it is not that there is no hope of victory, but the hope of victory is too small. ”

Even if Paul said so, Cyril had no intention of changing his decision, and fighting head-on was not what he was good at.

And in order to hire these four powerful navies and sailors, Cyril has completely spent all his points, and even now he wants to change ships, there are no points to change.

While these people were talking, one after another of the contestants around them boarded the ship of their choice with their hired sailors or the navy, and sailed off into the distance.

After a cursory observation, Cyril found that the vast majority of people have the same thoughts and ideas, and they usually spend a lot of points to buy a ship that looks very majestic and has multiple attacks.

Then spend a small amount of points to hire a few, a dozen, or even dozens of sailors with very low combat effectiveness to fill the façade.

Looking at the configuration of the passing contestants, Paul shook his head and smiled, looking at Cyril's slightly puzzled expression, he forced a smile and said: "These people may have read too many so-called knight novels." They probably think that fighting at sea is to drive a ship, then take dozens of sailors, pull up the ropes, jump into someone else's ship and fight around, or just fire at each other. ”

"This kind of thing is the most stupid, and the real war is much more cruel than what these people think and what they depict in the novel. Although a large number of sailors can form a strong fighting force, if there is no good command and leadership, a battle will usually be wiped out. Rowling added to Paul's words.

Shrugging his shoulders, Cyril was embarrassed to say that he had thought the same way at first, he pointed to the sailboat, and then said, "Okay, let's hurry up, although the speed of this ship should be quite fast, but it is not good to delay it for too long." ”

Once on board, Jeff and Wateff spent about ten minutes figuring out the structure of the ship, and by the way, learned about the stealth abilities that Cyril had told them about.

A slight tremor was felt in the hull, and the sailboat gradually departed from the harbor under the guidance of Wateff and headed off into the distance.

Jeff stood beside Waterman and looked at the map that Cyril gave him, and after looking at it for a long time and making some calculations, Jeff raised his head and said to Cyril with a somewhat serious face: "My lord, there are a few not very obvious traps in this map. ”

"Trap, do you mean something like a reef?" asked Cyril, who didn't understand what Jeff meant for a moment, a little puzzled.

Shaking his head, Jeff continued, "No, I mean the admiral gave you a bit of a problem with your map, and if you follow his method, not only will you have to go a long way, but you may not be able to find the treasure smoothly. ”

"Can you tell the true route, then?" asked Cyril, with a bit of a headache.

With a confident smile, Jeff handed the map he had sketched to Cyril and said, "It's done, although the admiral is trying to mislead by using human habitual thinking." But after all, he is a navy, and we sailors are best at digging for treasures, and his little trap can only deceive those trainee sailors. ”

After hearing Jeff say this, Cyril suddenly asked with some concern, "If you can solve the traps on this map, can many sailors solve them?"

"Don't worry, my lord, I'm a senior sailor, even if I want to solve such a trap, it is still a little difficult, ordinary trainee sailors and junior sailors will definitely not be able to see the trap. ”

The division of sailors and the navy is the same as that of adventurers, and a sailor like Jeff, who has thirty or forty years of experience at sea, and who also has a variety of combat skills, is the so-called superior sailor. If you want to hire, the cheapest is 8 points per person, and the most expensive is 15 points per person.

The junior sailors and trainee sailors are much cheaper, and the most inferior trainee sailors can hire two for one point, and the contestants who saw dozens of sailors behind them at the port before, most of them are hired trainee sailors.

And the admiral was indeed very sinister, and he did not mention in his introduction that there was a clear distinction between superior and junior sailors.

The introduction only shows that the experience of the senior sailors is more abundant, and the other aspects are almost the same, so that the vast majority of people will choose the cheap and cost-effective junior sailors and trainee sailors.

"In that case, let's go straight to the treasure!" Cyril said with a little excitement.

Looking at the map in his hand carefully, Jeff gave Waterman a rough direction, then he closed the map, turned to Cyril and said, "My lord, according to the current situation, if there is no battle along the way, then we will reach the place where the treasure is hidden in twelve hours. ”

It is worth mentioning that there is not only one, but as many as a hundred places on the map where the treasure is hidden.

According to Wateroff and Jeff, if all the treasures shown on the map given by the admiral are real, then it proves that the place where the treasure is hidden is definitely very dangerous, or that there is a high danger during the voyage.

As Jeff said, after sailing for more than two hours, Cyril didn't see any of the other contestants' ships, and it seems that they must have fallen into the admiral's trap and been taken to an inexplicable place.

However, just as he was feeling a little happy and felt that he would be able to complete the trial, the hull of the ship suddenly shook, and Cyril, who was unsteady on his feet, almost fell.

The two sailors reacted the fastest, and Wateff tried to stabilize the hull of the ship while shouting, "Enemy attack! Be careful, it should be sea creatures!!"

Jeff's face remained unchanged, he grabbed the edge of the sailboat with both hands, and poked his head out to take in the situation.

"Uh...... Trouble ......" With a very ugly expression, Jeff retracted the upper body that had leaned out, and then he turned his head to the other three and said loudly, "Overlord octopus! It's a overlord octopus!!"

Cyril, who hadn't been at sea for years, didn't know what it was, but when he turned his head and saw that Rowling and Paul's faces had become ugly, he knew how dangerous the creature was.

Without waiting for Cyril to ask, Paul explained to him: "The overlord octopus is the dominant body of small seas, and can usually reach a length of ten or even twenty meters. Its power is so powerful that even an elite-level physical arts specialist will be crumbled into mud under its tentacles. ”

Swallowing his saliva, Cyril asked with a headache, "Can you get this guy?"

"You can't run away, and although the overlord octopus is huge, they have unique organs on their bodies that can speed up. At the speed of our ship, it will definitely not be able to outrun the Overlord Octopus. ”

"But don't worry, my lord, the overlord octopus has a very obvious weakness, and we have a way to deal with it. ”

With that, Paul and Rowling grabbed their weapons and walked towards the edge of the sailboat.

Cyril, who was slightly worried, didn't plan to run away from the fight, and he followed closely behind the two of them, heading out towards the edge.
