Chapter VIII

"Young man, do you want to go to Fabre?" said the strange old man, who drank two glasses of wine, and his attitude was much friendlier than at noon.

"His name is Shi Yue, because he has some personal matters to go to the west of the mainland, this is Captain Walker!" Collins introduced the two people present.

"Yes, I have some very important things to do to the west of the mainland, and I hope the captain can help. ”

"Since you're a friend of Corinth, there's nothing to say, and you'll have to set sail the day after tomorrow and get on board when the time comes. By the way, Collins, you should go back and have a look!" Walker's last words were clearly addressed to Collins.

"Walker, you don't know, now I'll go back, the wanted warrant of the Washer mercenary group is not a joke!"

It seems that this Collins has a bit of a holiday with that Warser mercenary group, but I didn't expect that there was any wanted warrant, the origin of this young man he knew in Stockes would never be simple, Li Yuxuan thought to himself.

"Is Collins so easy to catch? Besides, you have such a good helper now, I don't think even if that old fellow Kemal came in person, I am afraid that there is no way to take you. ”

"Hey, old fellow, don't talk nonsense, they're not my helpers!" Collins was also very happy, and immediately corrected the old captain's erroneous opinion.

"If my brother is in trouble, just ask, I will do my best to help. ”

If it were normal times, Li Yuxuan would definitely not be so nosy, but this time it was different. First, he does have a good impression of this young man, coupled with Li Yuxuan's original thirst for talents, Collins is undoubtedly a talent. The other point is that I am not familiar with the geography of Fabre on this trip, and it would be great if I had someone I trusted as a guide, and it was clear that Collins was a good candidate.

"Shi Yue, you may not know the status of the Washer Mercenary Group in the west of the continent. It is one of the four major mercenary groups in the west of the continent, there are twenty-five teams below, each team has five hundred people, and the leader Kemal is one of the top ten masters in the west of the continent, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can deal with. Collins kindly reminded Li Yuxuan.

"Oh, is that so? That means he has 10,000 well-armed soldiers under his command, so what kind of role does he play in the west of the mainland?" Li Yuxuan suddenly thought that if he could bring such a new force under his command, it would definitely be helpful for him in his future struggle for hegemony, and at least he could provide himself with detailed and detailed information on the economic, military, and political aspects of the mainland and the west.

Captain Walker stared at Li Yuxuan in slight surprise, and his gaze finally stopped at the white hair on Li Yuxuan's shoulders, falling into deep thought.

Collins was also very curious as to why Li Yuxuan would inquire about this, but still explained: "They have branches in the west of the entire continent, and they usually contact some caravans to defend tasks, and in the event of war, they will also engage in the buying and selling of military intelligence. In the western part of the continent, Kemal, the leader of the Washer Mercenary Regiment, has the nickname 'Night Stalker', which means that he is a sinister guy who peeks into everything in the dark. ”

"Kemal the 'Night Stalker', that's quite a funny guy. Li Yuxuan's eyes began to flash with an excited light, which made the old Walker, who had been paying attention to Li Yuxuan, slightly stunned, as if he had thought of something.

"Interesting?" For Li Yuxuan's use of "interesting" to describe the "night owl" Kemal, Collins covered his head and fainted.

"Collins, maybe you really should go back, I think you might have a very different life. Old Walker changed his casual attitude and made his suggestion to Collins with a serious face.

Li Yuxuan stared at the old captain in front of him with some suspicion, as if he wanted to see something from him, but in the end he chose to give up. There was nothing abnormal on the old captain's face, which was covered with the vicissitudes of time, but Li Yuxuan told himself in his heart that this old captain would definitely not be an ordinary guy, and his experience alone was enough to attract Li Yuxuan's attention.

Old Walker also seemed to sense that Li Yuxuan was observing him, and turned his head to Li Yuxuan with a kind smile, as if to show that he had no ill will towards Li Yuxuan.

"Collins, I also want you to be my guide, as for the problem of that Washer mercenary group, as long as they are not besieging you by hundreds or thousands, I think the two of us can still handle it easily. Saying that, Li Yuxuan raised the index finger and middle finger of his right hand in front of Corinth, and a pale white light body nearly a foot long was swallowing in the air, and the surrounding air also made a sound because of the friction of this white light.

"Sword Qi!" Collins exclaimed, for him as a martial artist, what Sword Qi meant was self-evident, and Walker could also see from the surprised expression on Collins' face at the moment that Li Yuxuan was showing him his strength, so that Collins could go to the West with peace of mind.

For the next two days, Collins looked so lost that he couldn't even be impressed by the contents of his favorite cup. muttered to himself all day long, and from time to time raised the index finger and middle finger of his right hand according to Li Yuxuan's original appearance, but in the end he still found nothing.

Li Yuxuan and Walker ignored Collins and drank and chatted on the boat every day. Judging from the content of the chat, Li Yuxuan is very interested in some political patterns in the mainland and the West, and Walker also knows everything and says everything.

Two days later, Walker's "Sedon" officially set sail for Li Yuxuan's trip to the west, with only eleven sailors on board, including the old captain, and only Li Yuxuan and Collins as guests.

After two days of trying to no avail, Collins apparently gave up on his dream of gathering strength and drank his own wine honestly.

After nearly a month of sailing, the "Saidon" was about to enter the dangerous sea area known as the "sea cemetery", but Li Yuxuan found that from the old captain to every sailor, there was not the slightest fear on their faces, but they were all filled with a look of excitement. It wasn't until later that Li Yuxuan knew that Walker was a pirate leader active in this sea area when he was young, and he had a love for this sea area that surpassed ordinary people. That's why Walker chose this risky route for the Sedon voyage.

After the ship entered the "sea cemetery", Li Yuxuan really appreciated the horror of this sea area. Overhead, the weather is unpredictable, and the sea is full of forest-like reefs, not including the reefs hidden beneath the surface. And the most shocking thing is the huge whirlpool between the reefs, whose all-engulfing power even shocked Li Yuxuan.

In such a treacherous environment, the "Sedon" under the command of Walker was like a fish swimming back to his hometown, shuttling back and forth between classrooms, with unusual flexibility and no delay, which made Li Yuxuan admire.

This is due not only to Walker's familiarity with the sea, but also to the advantages of the construction and design of the shabby appearance of the Sedon. It is precisely based on the above two points that Li Yuxuan had the idea of taking Walker for his own use and designing warships for the "homeland" navy. In the future battle between the Imperial Navy and the Newingman Navy, it was with his superb command that he annihilated the main naval force of the Newingman Empire in one fell swoop, and made brilliant achievements for the Yuxuantian Empire.

After five unforgettable days of sea adventure in the "Sea Cemetery", Li Yuxuan deliberately got up early in the morning and climbed up to the shipbuilding of the "Sedon", while Walker was already waiting there to watch the sunrise over the sea.

"Shi Yue, why did you get up so early today, it seems that you drank too little last night!" Walker laughed.

"Captain Walker, have you ever thought about doing something else?" asked Li Yuxuan, pulling the topic away.

"I'm sixty-four years old, and I've been a navigator and a pirate leader in my youth, and I'm inseparable from the sea all my life. If one day I can sink to the bottom of the sea with this old ship, I think I will be satisfied. Walker said with some emotion.

"Doesn't the captain want to be young again and lead the fleet across this sea again?"

Standing in the commander's position, Walker was slightly stunned, from Li Yuxuan's tone, he felt a domineering and arrogant spirit belonging to the strong, and also heard some extraneous sounds from his mouth.

"I heard that Zheng Jing of the 'homeland' is a pretty good fleet commander. Walker pointed.

"Zheng Jing is a rare young general, but I think if you add your old man's rich sailing experience, he will become more mature. ”

There is no doubt that Walker already knows Li Yuxuan's true identity, and Li Yuxuan's answer also confirms that he is the head of the family whose "homeland" has been missing for more than a year.

"Are you really sure that I'm still useful for a sixty-four-year-old man?" Walker was a little moved by Li Yuxuan's proposal.

"I think that with your vast experience and talent for shipbuilding, you will be able to build a powerful fleet and regain the feeling of your youth. "Li Yuxuan has a blood-pumping incitement.

"As long as I don't leave the sea, my old man is the same everywhere, but I didn't expect that I would have a chance to be younger. ”

After saying this, Walker had actually agreed to Li Yuxuan's proposal. In fact, the elder Walker was also a man who was not willing to be bland, and when he was young, he also dreamed of leading a huge fleet to conquer the four seas. I didn't expect that when I was sixty-four years old, when my ambition had been almost tempered by the years, God would give me a chance to fulfill my dream when I was young.

"I'm sure Captain Walker will leave his name in the history of the continent!"

Maybe the current Li Yuxuan is still arrogant when he says this, but the history that happened later has confirmed that his prediction at the moment is not exaggerated at all.

After hearing this, Walker's slightly bent back straightened, and the sea that had been full of sorrow in his eyes seemed to become much younger again, and the long-lost passion in his body burned his blood again.

"Blue sea, I, Walker, are back!" said Old Walker, shouting to the newborn morning sun in front of him, as if the whole person had been reborn.

And at this moment, in Li Yuxuan's eyes, he tore up the scene when he had seen a huge fleet of his own fighting in this sea area.

"What are you two doing up there, crawling up on it early in the morning without sleeping to blow the wind. Collins stepped out of the cabin and turned to shout to the two men upstairs.

"Then you can come up and blow the wind!" Walker was still a little excited.

"Okay. Collins flew up the ship, conjured two bottles of wine from behind him, and said, "Wouldn't it be better to drink while blowing the wind?"

Seeing this situation, Li Yuxuan and Walker could only look at each other and smile bitterly, if you talk about who is the biggest drunkard here, it seems that it is none other than Collins.
