Chapter 72: The Savior of the Deep Sea (4)
There was no magic in the sunshine mussels, the place was some distance from the Filthy Land, but the magic was still very poor, and Edward was not worried about any danger.
Edward crouched down and gently touched the shell of the sunshine mussel, and found that the shell was comparable to some metal in terms of hardness.
"The sunshine mussel will only open naturally at a fixed place every year, and if you want to open this shell, you need some corresponding methods, just put it in a pot and cook it for a while, and it is best to add some spices, it tastes really good!" Zhang Long seems to have eaten the sunshine mussel, and he has a high opinion of the sunshine mussel.
Edward had already checked it out, and the creature didn't have the materials and abilities it needed, so he didn't pay attention to the Sunshine Mussel after standing up.
"Edward, this sunshine mussel tastes so good! You can come to our ball in the evening, and then you will not only be able to eat delicious sunshine mussels, but you may also be able to have a wonderful affair with a noble woman!" Zhang Long said with a smile that all men understand.
Edward didn't care about the way of life and habits of these people, as long as these people respected their habits and ways of behaving, and there were things that they did voluntarily and did not harm and affect Edward, then Edward would not interfere.
"Nope. Edward refused, then walked to the bow of the ship.
Looking at the back of Edward's departure, Zhang Long snorted disdainfully, but he didn't say anything cruel, there were all the king's soldiers patrolling around, and there was no life-and-death feud between Zhang Long and Edward, so he couldn't delay his future because of the other party.
Lone wanderers are ostracized by some circles wherever they are, and when Edward walked to the bow of the boat, he saw that some people were carrying the collected sunshine mussels and seaweed fish back to his room, which were their own personal possessions.
Looking at the smiling faces of these people, Edward felt that he had given them too much free time, and if they were not properly managed and restricted, they would cause trouble for themselves, like the fish in the sea!
Around the boat, there were already schools of red fish, each the size of a dolphin, and these fish were covered with red scales, swimming in the water like a burning flame, the body resembled a crucian carp, the mouth was slightly larger, and there were more than a thousand of them!
Dense flamefish gathered around the Whale, and the remaining five ships didn't have many flamefish coming close.
The flamefish were clearly coming for the Whale, or rather for the Sunshine Mussels that had been caught.
As its name suggests, the Flame Fish is a large fish that can spit out high-temperature flames, and Edward only perceives a very weak fire attribute magic on the Flame Fish's body, and this level of magic and the wisdom of the Flame Fish should not be able to cast fire-based spells, even the lowest level of flames.
The outer skin of the Giant Whale is a layer of metal iron, which cannot be damaged by ordinary flames, and the flames spit out by the flame fish are like burning briquettes, which are not enough to cause damage to the metal iron sheet in an instant.
The flames without magic were not very effective for many living beings and non-living beings in this world, and the flamefish, like flamethrowers, paused after their heads were exposed to the water, and then leaped towards the hull of the ship, releasing a rapidly burning flame from its O-shaped open mouth, the flame was larger than the flame fish looked like, but it only burned for about two seconds before dissipating.
If it was just a flame fish, then Edward would not have bothered with this kind of thing, but now it is not one, but hundreds of thousands.
Even if these flame fish couldn't do any damage to the Whale, Edward wouldn't let them continue like this, the five ships in the distance were inferior to the Whale in height and protection, and most of the Whale's supplies were provided by these five ships!
"Nashan, do you know how to get these flame fish away?" asked Edward as he turned to a slightly older man at the bow of the ship, "It would not be good to cause the king's displeasure. ”
Na Shan is an experienced pirate leader, and now he is good, and he has always done his duty.
Edward didn't have the heart to capture seven things, after receiving the Blackwater Territory, he slaughtered all the pirates and villages related to the pirates, burned houses, ships and camps, concentrated craftsmen in Blackwater Harbor, and then caught a group of part-time or full-time pirates through fishing law enforcement, and then threw them into the barracks to let them become new people.
And those who were lucky enough to escape also took the initiative to go to the labor field to work as a coolie under the ******** of Edward, and they could be regarded as finding a job with good food and shelter.
Nashan was very afraid of the king, and he was thinking about this problem at first, but after Edward spoke, he said: "There is a way, but I am worried that the nobles behind will not will." ”
"What's the solution?" asked Edward.
Nashan hesitated a little, but still said: "Put some blood on a few people, and then throw it down." The Flame Fish is afraid of human blood and will leave when it smells of human blood. ”
"Aren't cattle and sheep okay?" Count Blackwater walked over, and after hearing Nashan's words, he proposed a replacement solution.
Nashan shook his head, "No. The flame fish is afraid of human blood because where there is human blood, it will definitely attract the king fish to come, and the flame fish is one of the food of the king fish, and the favorite food of the king fish is people. ”
The Earl of Blackwater was also silent, the three of them did not resist the practice of throwing humans down, while the Earl of Blackwater and Nashan were concerned about the king's thoughts, and Edward wanted to keep some of the population in case of emergency.
Edward looked at the flame fish below, the flame fish were not strong, they dived into the water after spitting fire, until now, the ones who are still spewing fire are the ones that have been replaced, there are not many of them, these flame fish can't keep the giant whale in the heat of the flames all the time.
Besides, it's all water here, and the flames of these flame fish are only for attack and deterrence, not for grilled fish. The flames that can burn out the whale can also turn the fish close to the whale into boiled fish.
"Since the king has not given an order yet, it means that our actions have not touched the king's bottom line. Edward stated his attitude, and then said, "Nashan, let the sailors attack, and offer these fish to the king." ”
Nashan looked at Count Blackwater, and Count Blackwater nodded, the sailors didn't need to report to Edward, as long as those soldiers didn't stop it, many things could be done.
"Fishing!" shouted to the men at the bow of the boat.
The men at the bow of the ship, mostly sailors, fishermen, and pirates, were familiar with such orders, and after agreeing, they rolled out harpoon cannons and stone-bound fishing nets from the tool compartments on the deck.
The whale's hull was very high, and after removing the large part that had sunk into the water, the deck was still close to ten meters away from the water, and now everyone was standing on the deck and attacking the flamefish below. (To be continued.) )
