Chapter Thirty-Six: The Fire of the Sea and the Neptune's Halberd

Seeing that the cards on the table were getting longer and longer, the shipwright couldn't help but hold his breath.

He grabbed the next card from his deck, flipped it over and saw that it was a 4 of spades, and then looked at the long dragon of cards on the table, and did not see another 4 in it, and sighed.

Some were unwilling to put the cards in their hands at the end.

The little maid's eyes flashed with joy. "It's my turn!"

After saying that, she also grabbed a card, the 7 of clubs, which was also the only 7 on the table.

Fitzwilliam was suddenly excited again, and when the little maid put down the 7, he was going to draw cards again.

Now that there are eleven cards on the table, the probability of his next card not being repeated is very small, so all that remains is the question of how many cards can be captured.

However, before the boatwright could kill the crowd, Clara turned her head to look at the alarm clock on the table, and suddenly grabbed the poker on the table and put it back in the card box.

At the same time, he shouted, "Don't play, don't play, Lord Prophet, he's coming back!" Wait a minute, don't tell him I'm playing with you. ”

The boatman looked a little dazed, and watched Clara take away her cards, hesitated and pleaded sincerely.

"Didn't you say before that believers on Saturday should have a deep understanding of the importance of rest and entertainment, so playing cards is also a spiritual practice?"

"That's someone else, as for me...... This week's vacation has long been overdrawn. Clara stuck out her tongue and said with regret, "I'm going to be scolded again if I'm caught, so don't betray me." ”

"Uh...... Okay, okay. ”

After about fifteen squares of the minute hand on the alarm clock, there was finally the sound of horses' hooves outside the door.

The little maid opened the door of the house at the first time and greeted her with a warm face.

Fitzwilliam hurriedly put down the water glass in his hand and followed Clara out the door.

Outside, the night was dark, and the stars were blinking.

A black figure rolled down from his horse, handed the reins in his hand to the little maid, and then looked at Fitzwilliam, and before the boatman could speak, he said, "You played cards with her?" ”

"No, how could it be, impossible!" Clara was taken aback at first, followed by a negative trifecta.

"Then what are you two doing when you don't sleep in the middle of the night?" Li Yu asked rhetorically.

“…………”

The little maid was dumbfounded, and the boatsmith cast a helpless look at her.

"Give you two months, 3,000 commonly used words, and you can read and write proficiently." Li Yu no longer gave Clara a chance to continue to defend herself, and directly announced the punishment for her.

"Three thousand common words? Only two months? The little maid let out a wail, "It's too hard! And don't I have to take two days off a week, which is written in the precepts, do you, as a prophet, blatantly break the precepts?! ”

"Of course, the precepts must be observed, and three thousand words in two months may be very difficult for others, but your memory is so good, as long as you are willing to serve snacks, you can still do it, and it will not delay your rest." Li Yu said.

After speaking, she no longer paid attention to Clara, who was like a mourning exam, and turned to Fitzwilliam again, "You are Fitzwilliam?" How is your sister doing now? ”

"As you predicted, she is now fully healthy," the shipwright said respectfully, "My sister's survival is only thanks to the kindness of you and Lord Saturday, so I want to join the Church of Shuangxiu as well!"

"Well, but I'm from the Wertin family, my family was involved in a rebellion before, and now we are all sinners of the Empire, I don't know if it's okay?"

"Of course, regardless of identity, gender or race, the door is open to all, and I will preach here every Friday afternoon to teach the teachings of the Church and hold events accordingly. You can come and participate when the time comes. ”

Let's get off the book

Seeing a look of doubt flashing in Fitzwilliam's eyes, Li Yu added.

"The Church of Weekends uses a new calendar that counts seven days as a week, from Monday to Sunday, and I'll let Mary tell you the exact time later."

"Okay, okay."

"I heard Yin Leia say that you used to be a shipwright, and you also built warships?" After a pause, Li Yu asked again.

Fitzwilliam smiled bitterly, "Yes, before I was captured, I was helping my family build the largest warship in the empire, the Aquaman, but unfortunately I couldn't finish it in the end, and after coming to the West, far away from the sea, my craft is useless." ”

Li Yu was noncommittal when he heard this, "What weapons do you usually have on the warships?" ”

Speaking of his old profession, Fitzwilliam also came to the spirit, "The warships of the Wettin family are generally equipped with ramming angles, which are located below the waterline of the bow and are wrapped in bronze, as long as they hit the flanks of enemy ships with ramming angles, they can generally cause great damage.

"If you break the keel, you can directly sink the enemy ship. In addition to this, if the fighters on the ship are elite enough, we will also have a woodpecker drawbridge.

"Well, just add a bird's beak-like tip to the front of the drawbridge, as long as you pierce the enemy ship, then the soldiers on the ship can kill along the drawbridge.

"However, the woodpecker suspension bridge also has disadvantages, that is, it is too heavy, and it will affect the stability of the hull, and if it encounters strong wind and waves, it is easy to capsize.

"In addition to this, the Wettin family will also place some trebuchets on the ship, but the power of simple stones is limited, so the Wettin family also invented the fire of the sea."

"Fire of the Sea?"

"That's right, it's a terrifying flame that can still burn on the surface of the sea, almost impossible to extinguish when hit, and can burn for a long time. It is one of the two major weapons of the family across the world. ”

Speaking of this, Fitzwilliam's face showed a look of regret, "It's a pity that the recipe for the Ocean Fire has always been in the hands of only a few core members of the family, and now those people are dead, and the Ocean Fire has been completely lost." ”

Li Yu estimated that the fire of the sea mentioned by the shipwright was probably a liquid incendiary agent similar to Greek fire, and the Romans did rely on this thing to shock the world.

The main ingredients may be oil and sulfur or something, and he can try to mix it when he has a chance in the future.

Li Yu asked again, "What about the other weapon?" ”

"Neptune halberd! It's a kind of giant crossbow, and I'll make this. Fitzwilliam said, "The Sea King halberd equipped on the Sea King is the largest, and it can easily shoot through the small battleships that dare to approach!" ”

"Oh, can you make it now?" Li Yu's expression moved when he heard this.

"Yes, as long as you give me enough manpower and materials." Fitzwilliam said dryly.

"I'll talk to Yin Leiya later, you don't have to farm, just stay here and build me a Neptune halberd, build three first, I'll be useful." Li Yu also replied.
