On the deck of the Undead Flame.

Stewart was waiting for the sailors to make their choice.

According to his idea, if they did not stay on the ship, they would be left to fend for themselves on this small island.

But Merlin said that if they didn't want to stay here after they had chosen, they would be sent back to Terra, and he had no choice but to do so.

"Is it done, how do they choose?"

Merlin appears next to Stewart with his staff.

"Not yet, they said they wanted to meet you before they made a choice."

Stewart was slightly surprised by Merlin's surprise that suddenly appeared next to him.

He was now more and more unable to see through this mage who was seven or eight years younger than him.

But he is glad that he can do things with him, and the stronger Merlin, the better his future.

"Okay, you and Horace go to the cockpit and wait for me first, and I'll solve them."

The Undead Flame naturally also has a cockpit, and the control center can control everything on board.

If Merlin does not use permissions, the ship can also be controlled from the cockpit.

The location of the cockpit and the dining room of the Undead Flame is on the aft deck.

There are two floors in total, with a cockpit watchtower on the upper floor and a dining hall on the lower floor.

"Okay"

Stewart and Horis stepped back and gave up their place to Merlin.

"Quiet!"

Merlin raised his staff, his cloak was windless, and his voice resounded through the sky at once.

The sailors fell silent, and at the same time noticed Merlin above, showing a somewhat curious but frightened look.

"It's time to make a choice, do you continue to choose and stay here to serve me, or I'll send you back to the island of Tra for freedom!"

Merlin said slowly after seeing that these people were quiet.

"That...... As long, I would like to ask, if we stay here, will we be fed to the fish? ”

"We've got a lot of people who have been fed to the fish!"

"Shhhhh

After a relatively thin young man finished speaking weakly, Merlin glanced at him, and he was directly frightened into a cold sweat.

"Didn't you go on your own boat to work, and those pirates fed many of you fish?"

Merlin was a little surprised, he thought at first that the group wanted to be pirates, so he chose to get on the ship.

"We ...... We are slaves, slaves who have been robbed by them to do hard labor."

"Because they don't have a shortage of people, they often kill some of us who don't work fast enough and have injuries and are sick to fish for fun."

"I was born weak, if it weren't for the fact that I could control the magic crystal cannon, I would have been killed a long time ago."

It was the thin young man who spoke, and at the same time, the others slowly spoke out about their experiences and their abilities.

"I'm the ship's cook, and I've already had three apprentices killed!"

"I'm an artilleryman, because the previous gunner died, I came up."

"I'm also an artilleryman, I used to be a blacksmith and can repair artillery, so I was left behind......"

……

"I'm waste, I'm useless, don't kill me!"

More than 100 people have told their original positions, whether they are specialized in artillery or miscellaneous work, all of them.

"Quiet"

"I know all your basic situation, if you are willing to stay here, whether you can return to your original job is not certain.

But we will never take you to death for fun, because we are not pirates, we are adventurers.

At the same time, I will also give you the opportunity to touch the extraordinary, but whether you can be reused depends on whether you have that talent.

At the same time, I will also ask those who stay to sign a contract that will abide by some rules and will not be able to terminate the contract for life unless I allow it.

If you don't choose to stay, there are two options, one is to send you back to Turner Island.

The second is to respect your wishes, I will provide you with a small boat and some food, and you can go wherever you want.

Make a choice! ”

With a wave of Merlin's staff, the magic furnace was activated, and pieces of pure magic crystals turned into magic power for the hull of the ship, and the sails were automatically windless, ready to set sail at any time.

"I choose to stay, my home has been destroyed by pirates, and I have nowhere to go, so it is better to gain strength with the captain and have a chance to destroy pirates in the future!"

That skinny lad, the first

As he spoke, the expression on his face was firm and full of motivation.

"I'll stay too"

"I ...... Stay, there's nowhere to go anyway."

"Me too"

"I'm trash, I'm quitting."

They soon made their choice, and out of more than 100 people, only more than 80 chose to stay, and the remaining 50 or so chose to return to Turner Island.

"Okay, I actually stayed, that is the crew of this ship, I hope you can grow to the point of gaining my attention, and even be able to take charge of yourself and bring me help!"

Merlin is still very satisfied, and the few technical talents he likes are in it, such as chefs and magic crystal gunners.

He didn't want to fish and eat with the two of them every day, and it would be nice to have a cook to cook.

The gunners, whether they have them or not, they are all miners.

That's right, miners, Merlin is just going to train this group of people to use as miners.

This ship consumes magic crystals so much that Merlin has to search for pure magic crystals on the way to Dragon Island.

Stewart and Horeth are the main forces, responsible for destroying the demonic beasts that occupy the Pure Magic Crystal.

These miners are the ones responsible for collecting the Pure Crystals.

If any valuable veins of magic are found, these miners can also come in handy.

After all, Merlin can't always do it all by himself, and it's more difficult to do it himself.

Mei Yun raised his staff and waved it a few times, and more than 80 contracts were completed, appearing in front of their eyes.

"Sign this contract, you are my people, if you betray me and my ship, you will be devoured by ten thousand fires!"

The emaciated young man was the first to complete the contract, which turned into two rays of light, one into his body and the other into the ship.

"Very well, what's your name?"

Merlin looked up to him and thought he would be a good talent.

"Alfonso, my name is Alfonso, Your Excellency Captain."

Alfonso was suddenly shouted by Merlin, a little panicked, but responded quickly.

"Very well, you will be a boatswain from now on, and when they have signed the contract, you will take them to the dining room and wait for me, Boatswain Alfonso."

Merlin gave him a position and let him manage the others.

As for the use of the position, it doesn't matter, they're all miners anyway, it's just that Merlin looks at him more pleasantly.

"Yes! Captain! ”

Alfonso's thin body instantly straightened and responded loudly.

"The others also brought them to the restaurant to let them rest, and I expect to go to Turner Island in half a day, and go to the warehouse to get some food for them to take with them."

There are many warehouses on the Immortal Flame, the largest of which is the fourth floor, and there is also a warehouse at the back of the restaurant, where food, wine, and other things are stored.

At the same time, there is also a warehouse in the gun compartment dedicated to storing shells, but because of the decisive battle just experienced, the shells are also seriously lacking.

"Yes, Captain!"

Alfonso cheerfully agreed, and began to lead them in earnest.

"Set sail, set sail!"

Merlin swung his staff, and the red paint on the hull of the ship peeled off, revealing a pitch-black undertone.

The magic sail is windless and automatic, quickly driving the entire ship out of the harbor and quickly disappearing on this small island.

Target, Turner Island.
