Chapter 183: Narwhal Dick (Part I)

[Fourth update, make up for yesterday's]

Take a seat at the dining table. The Winged Skull took two flesh skeletons, and Salin heard Banchagana's strange laughter. Salin just didn't hear it, and estimated that the prank of the winged skeleton had the bewitchment of Banchagana.

"How far have you gone?" asked Saleen.

"Got to the place where I was wrecked. Elaine replied that she had already begun to help look at the charts and provide the coordinates for the magic compass.

"You're in the room, and I don't respond to you. Aini rolled her eyes. Zola looked at Neris even more strangely, wanting to find something out of her. To his surprise, Nellis's hair was not a little messy. The more Zola looked, the more frightened he became, and he realized that what Neris looked like when she entered Saleen's room, and what she looked like when she came out, had not changed at all.

Could it be that this is a hidden powerhouse? Zola became alert for the first time. He suddenly found out now that everyone around Salen was not weak, and that Xika, although he didn't cultivate any sword qi, looked a little more dangerous than Aini. If so, it's time to be diligent.

Zola warned himself that if he didn't practice hard, he would become a mediocre person. If you become a mediocre person. There will be no woman who appreciates herself anymore.

"It's me who was a little negligent, Aini and I are magicians and can endure long periods of loneliness, you can't. As he spoke, Salin asked the Winged Skull to take over the steering of the alchemy ship and the five mages to eat.

"This time I went to sea, in addition to hunting, I also want everyone to be familiar with the route, which will be under my protection in the future, and when summer comes, I will send warships to patrol. I will not let anyone but us come near the Frozen Sea. Elaine, let's do it, during the day, we communicate here. Tell us about your past experience. I can give you a couple of instructions on magic issues, Zola, and you can teach Elaine swordsmanship. ”

"It seems that we still lack a cook, I guess none of you want to eat what the Winged Skull made, if only the life mage by Rex's side was there. ”

"My lord, we can help you too. A low-level mage responded.

"No, the purpose of coming out this time is to familiarize you with the alchemy ship, just making food and drink, it can't improve your ability to control magic, it needs a good environment. Cooking, Zola, can you do it?" said Saleen, who suddenly looked at Zola. He carries food with him all year round. But it's just bread, bacon, and at most wine and tea. Sika is not a picky eater, and other people may not be able to stand such a monotonous diet.

"I ...... OK. "Zola wanted to refuse, he was a sword master, let him be a chef, he felt very shameless. But Schika, Nerice, and Elaine all looked at him with their eyes, and under the gaze of the three women, Zola gave in.

Zola has experienced an inhuman life since he was a child, and cooking is such a thing, he is even better than swordsmanship, because no one will take care of him, he can only rely on himself.

Zola reluctantly went to the back galley, there was a lot of food prepared on the ship, originally the size of this ship, which could carry hundreds of swordsmen, and later after transformation, it could also accommodate similar people.

"Elaine, tell me, what dangers are there along the way?" Salin saw Zola go cooking. Started asking about Elaine's route.

Nellis was making tea for everyone on the side, Elaine picked up the teacup, feeling better at last, she thought for a moment and said, "The distance between the frozen sea and your city is about 12,000 miles, of course, I'm talking about the distance of the route, and the straight-line distance will be slightly shorter." ”

"Isn't it going to be cold?" said Salin, who thought that the Frozen Sea was only three or five thousand miles away. If there are 12,000 miles, it will be difficult to protect this route.

"No, the temperature in the north is not much different, and even if you get close to the frozen sea, there will be plants growing for three or four months of the year. There are many islands in the north, which are large but uninhabitable, either have no cultivated land, or are home to deadly creatures, if only there is little water. ”

"Oh, have you seen ships from other places over the years?" Salin remembered the kamikaze country, the seas of the far east, those island countries, the seafaring countries are very developed, and there may be people who enter the frozen sea.

"I've only seen the wrecks of some ships, and I'm afraid the only ones alive are our family's. ”

"The hunting ground you mentioned last time was in the Frozen Sea?"

"No, my ship can't enter the center of the Frozen Sea, and can only hunt on the periphery. The target has already told you, it's a giant shrimp. We use special nets. Throw in magic potions to make these shrimp lose their aggressiveness and then catch them in large quantities. ”

"You said that these shrimps have fourth-level magic cores, but according to my calculations, your harvest is not that much. ”

Elaine smiled bitterly: "After all, it is a fourth-level demonic beast, and the magic potion we scatter every time is a huge investment, so we must catch a sufficient amount in order to return to the cost." Elaine asked worriedly: "Salin, are you here this time only to hunt the demonic beasts that are active on the iceberg?"

"No, I'm interested in this shrimp and the main target is them. "Salin himself has alchemy, Elaine said that the forefoot of this shrimp can refine Shen Xing Iron, even if it is refined, it is enough for Salin. ”

"But I didn't see you preparing trawls and magic potions. ”

"No, you'll know then. Salin thought to himself, who better to do this than Banchagana, who else is able to use that terrifying skill against the demonic beasts of the sea. As long as his weapons hit each other, none of the fourth-level demonic beasts within the attack range were spared, and if he didn't die, he would pass out, and when the time came, Banchagana would use the dimensional stone to collect it, and he wouldn't have to invest any massive magic potions at all. There is also no need to make special trawls. These costs are saved, and their own income will be a terrifying number. This is a fourth-level magic core!

The price difference between the fourth-level magic core is huge, but even the lowest fourth-level magic core can be sold for the price of the highest-grade three-pole magic core. That's 150 gold coins. However, this kind of demonic beast in the sea, not all of them have magic cores, and the quality is uneven, Salin plans to make a big deal at a time, and all the magic cores needed for urban construction will be solved.

Seeing that Elaine was a little disappointed, Salin smiled: "Although you didn't do anything this time, I promise you that when you come back." I'll give you a boat for each of you. Wait until next summer, you can go to sea with your own people. ”

Aini said: "I can't afford to keep this kind of boat. ”

"It's an icebreaker, and this alchemy ship I still have to use to help with defense, and it can't be used for hunting in the future. ”

Aini and Elaine's faces were better. Salin smiled secretly in his heart, when the time comes, Elaine's hands will be short of sailors, and he will still have to lease it from himself, and he will not pay for it. In order to break free from the family's control, Aini and Elaine had to obtain supplies from themselves, such as special trawls and hunting weapons.

When these two people succeed, they will inevitably cooperate with other young people from the four major families, and their profits will snowball.

Elaine was still a little confused, and Aini had already guessed Sarin's intentions. But this is not harmful to himself, he is already dissatisfied with the family, and being able to do things independently is what he dreams of. Besides, the conditions that Salin gave him were too good for him to refuse.

But Aini still reminded Elaine: "Elaine, will the people you bring out obey your orders unconditionally?"

"Yes, those were all arranged for me by my mother, even the elders of the family, and it is difficult to command them. ”

Aini nodded, not continuing to ask. It seems that Elaine, like herself, had already thought clearly about her interests before meeting Salin. Salin has a strong backer, but neither of them does.

Salin thought more clearly that his immediate priority was to build a strong army to protect himself. Going out to sea to hunt, if you don't use the Iwaki alchemy ship and Banchagana, is a huge investment. He didn't want to pay for it, and with this money, he might as well go buy food and equipment.

In Scochenia, the real businessmen manipulate capital, not do it themselves. Let the people of these families contribute money, and they will contribute their own warships and supplies. Selling these is a large amount of income, and then sixty percent of the profits are returned, which is the real way to make money.

Elaine was lucky, and Saleen only wanted Aini to be a role model so that he could attract more money. But now that Elaine is here, Salin doesn't want to bother calculating the contents of the magic compass. The sooner you can get this thing up and running, the sooner you can get rich.

Let Qin Yin's big merchants enjoy the benefits, after returning to the Holy See to form a fleet, it will inevitably cause the anger of Qin Yin's nobles and merchants, and when the time comes, there is no need for Salin to contribute alone, naturally there are huge local forces that have invested in to protect this precious resource.

Salin's only concern was Alchemy City, if the people of Alchemy City wanted to come and get a piece of the pie, he didn't have a good way to refuse for the time being. If you refuse the cooperation of Alchemy City, even if Alchemy City does not come to forcibly seize it, even if the fleet of Yunliu comes, it will be a disaster for your city.

This kind of trick of borrowing a knife to kill people will not be impossible for the people of Alchemy City to think of.

"Master, there's a monster following us!" the winged skeleton's voice sounded in Saleen's heart.

"Huh?" Salin stood up and walked to the front cabin. The image transmitted back by the Eye of the Dead was very real, and Elaine, who was following behind Salin, exclaimed, and she also saw the appearance of the beast.

"You know it?"

"One-horned beluga, ninth-level demonic beast!"

"Is it dangerous?"

"Dangerous, of course, but it won't attack our ship unless...... Unless we compete with it for food. ”

"What does it eat?" Salin had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Eat shrimp. This big guy has no teeth, and his favorite food is the shrimp of the Frozen Sea. You see that it has no horn, and when it gets angry, even the iceberg can crack. ”

"It's thousands of miles away from its destination, it's not going to go there, is it?"

"Yes, every year we come back early, just because we are afraid of encountering this kind of magical beast. Within its hunting range, if you put in a magic potion, you are basically dead. ”
