Chapter 94: Coming
While the repairs were underway, the ship was heading at full speed towards the naval headquarters next to the Chambord Islands.
With a team of more than 200 boatmen under the command of three top shipbuilders, the massive island ship is constantly changing shape at a speed visible to the naked eye. The eerie style of the original horror and oppression has been swept away and replaced by a classical castle with a rather sacred atmosphere. Although it is still Gothic style, the overall style tends to be bright and grand under the auspices of the iceberg. The faΓ§ade of the castle adopts a continuous Gothic pointed coupon and flame pattern coupon corridor, the composition is unique, the color is bright, and the overall style of the castle is elegant with a sacred atmosphere.
The dilapidated walls on the outskirts of the island have also been renovated with the addition of neat minarets, and the whole wall is as tall and erect as the fortress of the royal palace.
The repair of the hull of the ship is a very big project. At Giger's suggestion, the original bowl-shaped hull was gradually modified into the orthodox 'Ark' type, and the empty water area at the bow and stern was organized into a floating dock similar to a 'parking lot', leaving empty spaces on both sides of the hull, and only after the arrival of the second batch of supplies began to build a built-in outer wheel to cross the windless zone.
The rudder part of the original rudder was made to fit the height of Moonlight Moria's height of 7 meters, but now it has been improved by Frankie to become a normal size. The sail was stretched using steam power and mechanism, and the entire operating system was designed by Frankie.
The real resistance to the restoration work is the island's 'indigenous people'. There are about 200 elite zombie generals stationed on the island, which is the main force left by Moonlight Moria to defend the island.
These zombie generals are unusually dangerous. They don't feel pain even if they're injured, and these armed zombie generals are all battle-hardened and famous warriors in their lifetimes. The knight captain of the country, the most vicious criminal, the admiral who commands the fleet, the admiral of the navy, the pirate, the archer, the samurai! These people have become immortal, and they strictly follow Moonlight Moria's instructions before leaving, patrolling around the island ship. Once the intruder is discovered, he ruthlessly annihilates it and concocts the corpse according to the method left by the freak doctor Hogubak, leaving it to be a 'humanoid' zombie upon his return.
But this time, what awaited them was a solid fat beating. After all attempts to resist to no avail, the zombies finally find out in despair and horror that the terrifying three-masted galleon is about to change hands. For the sake of Moonlight Moria's face, Victor specially left the original characteristic area of the island to them, but they were not allowed to go out at will to scare others.
On the 4th day, the Ark of Passion officially entered the waters of the Chambord Islands.
"The Chambord Islands have finally arrived." Mai Honghime sighed as she stood on the bow of the ship.
The bow of the Ark of Passion is much larger than a football field, and the 'Coral' crowd is gathered here.
"Robin, tell us about the Chambord Islands." Victor, clad in a black coat, turned his head to look at Robin.
Robin thought for a moment, then said, "The Chambord Islands, also known as the 'Soap Bubble Islands'. The island is made up of mangrove trees with the roots of the trees, from which bubbles bubble. The most distinctive feature of the Chambord Islands is that the roots of the Archian mangrove tree secrete a special natural resin due to respiration, which expands into bubbles due to the air and then flies into the sky. Since the bubbles are only suitable for the climate range of the mangrove trees in Yarki, once the bubbles are out of the climatic realm of the Chambord Islands, the resin components will not be able to use their full power and explode. β
"The island is made up of 79 trees, each with towns and facilities on them, and they are all numbered. The division of the Chambord Islands is clear and is based on the numerical numbers on the trees. β
"Islands 1 to 29 are illegal areas such as human trafficking shops and human auctions; Nos. 30 to 39 are Soap Bubble Park; Nos. 40 to 49 are tourist areas, and there are a variety of souvenir shops; Nos. 50 to 59 are shipyards and gathering places for coating craftsmen; Numbers 60 to 69 are naval garrisons and world government entrances and exits; Nos. 70 to 79 are Hotel Street. Among them, Island 44 is the main entrance for civilians to enter the Chambord Islands. Island 66 is a naval base. β
"Blatant slave trade? This is really a rotten island. Perona grinned.
"Anyway, won't the magnetic force of the recording hands be covered by this island?" Mai Hongji looked at the watch-type recording hand on Perona's wrist and asked suspiciously.
"The Chambord Islands are a collection of mangrove trees in Alchi, and they are not magnetic." Robin, as a versatile secretary and intelligence officer, has clearly done his homework.
"Then let's start preparing for the purchase of supplies. According to several shipwrights, only 1/3 of the repair work of the Ark of Enthusiasm has been completed, and there are no materials, and it is necessary to coat such a large ship...... "Haoxue knocked his long pipe on the railing and said, "The old man estimates that the coating craftsmen on the whole island will be tired and half dead together. β
"Before that, we're going to say hello to the navy stationed on the island." Victor smiled, "The course has been changed to Island 66." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The Great Voyage, the Chambord Islands.
The sea breeze is pleasant, and today is also a good day with a sunny and peaceful day. Because the naval headquarters is so close to this place, the pirates on the island follow the unwritten rules and try their best to restrain themselves from causing trouble.
Today, the 'City of Seven Waters Incident' is still a topic of conversation.
On the streets, in restaurants, in playgrounds, and at parties, there are residents who know each other or pirates who have dealt with each other talking to each other, and the hot topics are all about the murder chain without exception.
"So, what is the origin of that 'murder chain'? Single-handedly killed all the supernovas! And because of this, it was co-opted by the government as! A bearded pirate in a shabby captain's uniform crossed his arms and said with palpitations, "Anyway, my ship was quite close to the City of Seven Waters when the incident happened, but fortunately it wasn't close, otherwise my head would have been targeted by this murderous chain!" β
At the open-air table on the dock, the big-backed pirate sitting opposite the bearded pirate shook his head, "Not only the murder chain, but his right-hand men have also emerged this time!" 'Princess Mononoke' Perona, 'Sea Seat' Hao Xue, 'Cardinal' Dance Red Ji, these names have been in the news frequently in the past few days, and they are simply all star lineups! β
"Before, the murderous chain was just a small gang leader in the West Sea, where did he get so many ruthless characters?" The bearded pirate couldn't figure it out, if so many good hands were used for himself, would he be able to mix up the Seven Martial Seas as a pawn?
The big-backed pirate was about to say something, but suddenly his expression froze. Not only him, but all the people facing the sea stared in the direction of the sea in amazement.
"What are you ...... about" the bearded pirates turned around in confusion and joined the 'stunned' ranks.
A massive ark almost the size of the Chambord Islands is slowly docking in the waters near the docks. Because it's so big that it's unclear which island the ship is going to.
An elegant blue and white castle towers over the ark, with three massive masts suspended from the sky and sun-shielding sails, with two zigzag zippers painted in the center of the mainsail.
'Murder Chain' Mafia Victor, coming to the Chambord Islands!
