Chapter 401: Preparing to go to sea
Mid-September port of the Sea of Duras
Not only fishing boats, but also a large number of fishing boats gathered in the port, and people carried their belongings back and forth, and as one of the only sea ports that could be used by airboats, the port of Duras has recently gathered a large number of people.
Qingshu's two ships are also here, both are large three-masted armed merchant ships, and the members of Qingshu who arrived early three months ago bought these two ships at a large price, and began to carry out ocean voyage modifications to ensure the safety of navigation at sea, and Kailot and the others already looked like when they arrived.
For some time now, Kelot has been living with Tide and Konstantin in the captain's cabin of the ship he is about to take, and the layout here is certainly not as comfortable as the hotel outside, and the bumps of the waves, coupled with the noise of the harbor all day and all night, may not be able to sleep at night for those who have not been on a boat.
On the one hand, moving in so early is also to get used to this feeling early, and not only Kailot, but most of the members of Aoki have already lived in the ship.
The next is nearly a month of ocean voyages, most of the half-giants of Qingshu have not had such an experience, now get used to this feeling early, if there is any problem, it is better to find it early and solve it early, once you go to sea, enter the deep sea area, but there is no place to dock, and then find that the problem is not as easy as it is now.
On the other hand, it is also for the safety of the ship, Qingshu has successively transferred all the valuables of the organization to the ship in the past few months, including three magic crystal cannons, one on the ship of Kailot, and two on the side of Femia, after going to sea, these three magic crystal cannons will be pushed onto the deck as the most important weapons!
"How are the members adapting, and are there any difficult problems?"
Kylott stood on the deck, flipping through the mystical tome in his hand, the tide swimming in the waters outside, looking at him from time to time.
According to Bradley's report on the side, the current situation is not bad, the physical fitness of the half-giants can resist even if there is seasickness for a few days, many members of the dizziness for a few days and return to normal after no such feeling, we still have a few half-giants who have studied medicine before, they have been trained for two months, and there are also a few helpful assistants under them, and the ship doctor is currently no problem.
The first batch of Qingshu members who came over learned the operation of the three-masted sailing ship for almost two months, during this time they have been learning wholeheartedly, and there is no problem with the basic operation, and there are also experts in this area in the Qingshu organization, but there is a more serious problem, they lack a captain who can command and take the helm, and there is no reliable captain at sea.
"I remember when I first came here, the people below reported it, and there was no progress yet? Two ships...... None of the captains have been found? Humans are fine, we don't have that much time to train captains! Spread the news, just say that we still have two captains here, the giants are about to invade, as long as there are captains willing to apply, we can bring them five people!"
Kylot knew the importance of an experienced captain to the ocean, and he couldn't even find the man at the helm to get the ship out.
Of course, there are some in Qingshu who will know this, but the difference between some and experienced is a few years of ocean sailing experience, and the gap is self-evident.
Whether humans are human or not is not so important, and it is not a danger for Kailot to allow him to bring his family in addition to as a reward, and when they get to the ocean, even if they find out that this is a half-giant organization?
"Immediately put the news out, there are quite a few people in the port of Duras now, and there should be people in this area. “
Bradley instructed a member of the Green Tree next to him that he still had to report, so he couldn't leave for the time being.
"How's the meat on the ship going now? others eat fish at sea, we can't, the half-giants need flesh and blood to calm the boiling blood. ”
"Hmm...... The amount of fifty people a month, because the meat needed to suppress the bloodline is actually not too much, ordinary half-giants can pass through as long as two orc meat burgers a day, and we have prepared seventy barrels of meat in this area, which have been bought from all over the world in the past two months, all in the frozen warehouse at the bottom, and there is no big problem. ”
The current three-masted galleon is not the primitive kind, it is also equipped with technology, there must be a frozen warehouse in the whole big ship, and there is even a bar for the crew to relax in the second floor cabin, if it weren't for the fact that there are too many humans on the ship, Kailot even plans to invite a song and dance troupe to come up, a month of sea sailing, there is no such thing can drive people crazy.
"Very well done..... it looks like there are only two people left at the helm..... wait, we have time to get ready enough, is there any news from the other side of the Deep River." ”
"Yes, this is the latest newspaper, the battle is fierce there, and the giants' attacks are constantly intensifying, so there will be a large exodus of people in the central region, and so many people will gather here in the port of Duras. ”
A member of the team handed two newspapers to Kellot's hand.
Kailott looked at the newspaper in his hand, and turned his eyes to the crowded crowd on the dock, where their two ships were moored, more than a dozen members of the green tree stood with loaded guns, shocking everyone who wanted to come forward, the sign had already been erected, it said that these were the two merchant ships of the Bennett family, and no one was allowed to approach!
"Kailot, is Windsor here?"
Konstantin jumped from the ship next door from Femia's ship with an apple in his hand, fruit is also an important thing in ocean voyages, not only apples, but also fresh oranges are kept at low temperature for more than a dozen barrels, and Kailot spent a lot of money to ensure that every member of the green tree can eat a ration of fruit every day for the next month.
"Not yet, several intersections have sent people to watch...... There's no news from the communicator yet, so it should be about the same time, so it's coming...... By the way, has the seawater conversion system been installed? This is the problem of bathing on board. ”
The seawater conversion system, to put it bluntly, is a large water element stripping circle, by pumping out the water element in the seawater, and then reorganizing it into fresh water, this aspect is Constantine is in charge, and the task given to him by Kailot, who makes him the only mage now.
"It's done, both sides can run, this kind of magic circle is very simple, it's a matter of conversion power, you are not short of money, I used several times more magic crystals, and the conversion power went up all of a sudden, I want to think about it...... A dozen people taking a shower together should be no problem. ”
Konstantin still had a fishing rod in his hand, and it seemed that he was going to go fishing next.
