Chapter 226: Rumors from the Sea
readx;? After a short day of rest at Eagle Harbor, Lin Ye began to continue north with the fleet, while Ababa also led the merchant ships south to Egret Harbor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is also a problem for hundreds of pirates to deal with, although Lin Ye has not considered killing them all.
But if you do this, if you encounter pirates in the future, the pirates will definitely choose to resist desperately and never surrender, and then you will be in trouble.
In addition, Lin Ye did promise these pirates that he would go to the Far East to provide them with a job, and he could only take the pirates on the road.
This added two more ships to the original fleet of twenty ships, both of which were pirate ships, and four of them were badly damaged and unseaworthy.
Lin Ye asked the people of Eagle Xiang Harbor to tow these four ships into the port for repair and transformation into merchant ships, as for the magic guide cannons equipped on the ships.
He had them all dismantled and brought back to the Far East for research, and since there was such a thing as a magic cannon, he had to rethink one thing.
That is to develop a new artillery, although he is not a magician, there are not many people in the entire Far East who can do magic.
In fact, for the entire continent, magicians are a very noble profession, especially the kingdom of magicians, Loki, whose status is transcendent.
But Lin Ye has enough to smash magic, that is, science, and more specifically, chemistry, he knows the formula of gunpowder.
However, he was worried that making firearms was a long process, and it was a difficult problem to first make a precision seamless steel pipe.
This is simply impossible without decades of accumulation of smelting standards, but the rifling of these guns gives him some hope.
The chamber of a gun was obviously easier to polish and manufacture than the elaborate chamber of a gun, and he pondered whether to conceal the gunpowder by means of magic.
When it comes to military use, gunpowder has many advantages over magic, such as its low manufacturing cost.
For example, gunpowder does not have as many restrictions as magic, and if the army is equipped with Mithril armor that is resistant to magic, the power of the magic cannon will be greatly reduced.
But gunpowder did not have these problems, but it would take a long time to develop successfully, and he had to put it on the agenda.
"My lord, if all goes well, we'll be in Blackwater in six days' time, it's exciting. ”
Van Te was very excited, they had been away from Dawn Town for almost three months, although the royal capital was prosperous, but the air there was uncomfortable.
In contrast, Aurora is still developing, but it is full of energy, and it is exciting to see something new popping up every day.
"Everything is going well, these four words always make people feel a little uneasy, by the way, why didn't I see the merchant ship coming today?"
Lin Ye smiled, he had been standing on the deck for a long time, but he didn't see any merchant ships passing by.
With the busyness of Blackwater, it was only right that several ships left the port every day, and before today, they could encounter several ships a day.
The merchants and sailors on board were all overjoyed when they learned of the Duke's return, and even held a party at Fish Leap Harbor.
"This seems a bit strange, and my lord, there was a rumor in Fish Leaping Harbor that made people very concerned. Fant hesitated.
He had considered whether or not to tell the Duke about this, but he thought it was just a rumor after all.
There was no need to add a new burden to the already very tired Duke, so he just gave up and did not say anything.
But now it seems that there is something strange, and if it really has something to do with it, it would be better to report it sooner.
"What rumors?" Lin Ye frowned, Van Te was in charge of intelligence gathering.
Rumors and other things should be told to him by Vant, as the so-called empty ** wind, many rumors have a factual basis.
If you miss some seemingly trivial information, it is easy to incur big problems that cannot be solved.
"That is, there has been a ghost ship drifting on the sea recently, and there is always a beautiful song fluttering on board. Vant paused at this point.
Because he wasn't sure if he should continue to talk about the rest of the story, after all, it was too weird and bizarre, and it was simply a child's story.
You go on. Lin Ye waved his hand, the legend of the ghost ship and the song, which made him very concerned.
You know, when he was taken away from the Far East by the guy with the black pupil, wasn't it just a ghost ship?
At that time, the whole ship was powered by the undead, which scared him out of his mind for a few days, but then he finally got acquainted with the undead and could greet him every day.
According to Black Hitomi, he said that he was going to take him to the capital of the dead in the north, and warned him that after the solar eclipse came, the capital of the dead was his destination.
This made Lin Xingluo inexplicable, hasn't the eclipse already happened now? But he is not just as good.
In his opinion, Black Hitomi's words were just sensational, but when Black Hitomi asked the bone dragon to save him away, she fought against the sea dragon alone.
I don't know if she escaped smoothly, or if she ......
This song attracts passing ships, and the crew of the ship will involuntarily sail the ship over, and eventually they will follow the ghost ship until everyone **starts**, turning into fallen undead. After saying this rumor, Fante felt a little numb in his scalp.
It's horrific that a good person decays step by step during the voyage and becomes a skeleton.
He hadn't experienced the Crimson Moon that had befallen Blackfire Castle, and it was hard to imagine fighting the undead.
Lin Ye was all too familiar with this, and his brows became tighter and tighter.
If this rumor is true, something is bewitching the ship, then this route is not so safe, and this hidden danger must be solved. He looked into the distance, but there was still nothing.
In the absence of land routes, this route can be said to be the economic lifeblood of the Far East.
If there is a problem here, then the economy of the Far East will come to a standstill, which should be avoided in any case.
"Hey, do you hear me, it looks like someone is singing, I've never heard such a beautiful sound before, who is singing?"
At this moment, the sailors in the distance began to whisper, which immediately caught Lin Ye's attention.
"Why didn't I hear it, are you hallucinating?" the other sailor pricked up his ears, but didn't hear any movement.
"It's not a hallucination, it's over there, the song is calling me, it's calling me to the past. ”
The sailor who claimed to have heard the song nervously walked to the side of the ship, completely ignoring the fact that there was no way ahead, and was about to fall into the air! )
