Chapter 37:
Yueying pointed to the black water flag on the cross street: "This is the territory of the West Sea, when will it be the turn of the Holy See to inspect?"
The holy warrior smiled and said, "Don't say it's here, soon the entire Black Water will be the territory of the Holy See!"
"You!" Tsukizakura put her hand on the dagger at her waist, and she was about to do it.
Xinglian hurriedly grabbed the Moon Priest and motioned for her not to act rashly.
"Eldest sister, there are 30,000 Holy See garrisons in Blackwater City, so it's not good if you do it. β
Wang Ming took advantage of the fact that the two sides had not yet fought, and ran out with Xinglian pulling Yueying together, leaving the holy warrior with a vigilant face.
"Eldest sister, you can't be so angry! even if Blackwater City is taken by the Holy See, there will be no loss to us. β
Wang Ming tried to enlighten Yueying from the pros and cons.
"Don't be angry, do you know how much money I invested in Blackwater?"
"Harlet?"
"Do you know how many seats I have in the Blackwater Council?"
"Nani?"
"Did you know that I'm actually one of Blackwater's Speakers?"
βwhatοΌβ
In the distant past, when Tsukizakura was a girl......
The handle of the knife smashed into someone's head, smashing the author into the wall.
"What do you mean when I was a girl, am I not a girl now?"
Yue Ying continued to take a deep breath and held back her excitement: "Let's put it this way, I was actually the captain of the privateer in Blackwater...... A privateer is a pirate who takes refuge in a certain force, you just need to understand it this way. Because the Moon Temple didn't have much income, I had to run out and become a pirate without getting my ID card.
In short, at that time, the West Sea was not as stable as it is now. It's not stable yet, though. But on the surface, the West Sea Alliance can still control the town. At that time. The era of pirates when various forces divided the sea area was very chaotic, and I was also ignorant to fight every day in such a dangerous place, and now I have palpitations when I think about it.
At first I was just a mercenary in Blackwater, and then I became a member of the Blackwater Foreign Legion, because I owned a ship of my own and started much higher than the others, so I was able to sneak into the council within a few years, and the proceeds from each raid were exchanged for shares in Blackwater...... That's right. This strange city-state is joint-stock system!
But then the vicinity of Blackwater settled down, and I also felt that the benefits and risks of being a pirate were not proportional to the risks, so I gave up and relied on the share of stocks and dividends to make a living, and withdrew from the Black Sea. But even so, sister, I'm still one of the speakers of Blackwater!"
......
"That means this is one of your properties......"
"That's right. β
β...... So why didn't you come out with money when the Knights were in an economic crisis?"
Because in the early years, the dividends of the next hundred years were overdrawn.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing. β
Of course, these are not the point, the point is that they must do their best to get a ship that can go to sea and a crew that can go to sea.
"Sister, how much does the boat cost?"
"I don't know, the boat was robbed back then. β
β...... What about the crew?"
"If you come here, don't think about going down again when you get on the boat. β
β......β
Task 1: Find a medium-sized or higher ship that can go on a long voyage
Task 2: Find enough crew
Mission 3: Don't spend a penny on Tsukizakura
Duration: Completed before Tsukizakura finished dinner
Reward: Sister-sama's delight
Unfinished Penalty: [Blocked for being too bloody]
Tip: Press the ESC key to exit the game
Yueying looked at Wang Ming who was walking towards the tavern in confusion: "What are you going to do?"
"Find a save point. β
ββββββββββββ
The ship is not difficult to make, and a brig schooner costs 10,000 gold coins. The finances are still crowded.
But the problem is that the treasury can't even squeeze out a thousand gold.
The crew is pretty much the same. Recruiting crew members basically requires an advance of 1,000 gold, which is a year's worth of assets.
All problems, in the final analysis, are about money.
"And the ship in this era is so inefficient in sailing, it is necessary to deploy a large number of crews, so the supply demand has gone up again, and the command is also a big problem, and I have never been to sea...... Cut, of course you've played sailing games, but do you expect a game nerd to lead a ship, because you don't think you'll live long enough?"
"Well, there are more people and there is an advantage in the broadside battle, which can be regarded as a balance......"
"But then you have to equip them with weapons...... It's going to cost money again......"
Wait a minute.
Wang Ming suddenly thought of something.
"Eldest sister, where was your ship back then?"
"It's over to the co-captain...... Isn't it all like this in the anime?After the captain retires, the ship will be handed over to the beautiful co-captain to manage.,And then the male owner will be a cow and a horse under the pressure of the captain of the royal sister.γ β
"You seem to have said something that makes you reverie......"
"The ship, if I'm not mistaken, was a beautiful galleon. β
β...... What configuration?"
"The brig, produced by the Moon Temple, comes with elven sails, long-barreled cannons, additional wrought iron armor at weak points, and a ship full of elven paper crew!"
"What does it look like? I want to see such an amazing ship. β
Tsukizakura pointed to the harbor outside the tavern, where a gorgeous elven sailing ship was parked.
"Well, that's it. β
"Mia, this is the Moon Angel I told you, my sister, my car back then. β
Tsukizakura's hand holding the goblet parted an index finger and poked at the giant ship docked on the dock.
It was a beautiful three-masted schooner, with its snow-white elven sails folded and rolled under the mast, swaying with the swaying of the hull.
The hull of the three-masted galleon was a beautiful white, with silver-gray defensive armor inlaid on the sides, and those additional armor was decorated into ornate frescoes that guarded the vital parts of the hull.
There is a row of portholes on the ship's side, although the shutters are hidden. Wang Ming could still see the long barrel cannon behind the porthole reflecting the cold light in the cabin.
On deck. carried another artillery column. However, only a small number of those cannons were expensive and terrifying long-barreled cannons. The rest are small-caliber gyroscope guns and even short-barreled body mortar guns.
Although Wang Ming is a waste of firewood, he is also a resident of the earth who has experienced the explosion of information, and those weapons can still be roughly understood, and those long-barreled cannons have an extremely long range, and the enchanted barrels and secret alchemy gunpowder can spray the cannonballs lightly to three kilometers away, and penetrate the oak armor dozens of centimeters thick.
The top guns are all murderous, such as the bronze whirlwind gun at the stern, which is not only ferocious. And......
And it's money, not a weapon.
The cannon, carved with relief decorations, was itself a work of art rather than a war gun, and could be exchanged for enough gold to refurbish the ship's guns in any market on the mainland.
In fact, no captain with a bit of a brain would use this cannon to attack, as the benefits from the attack may not be as good as the loss of the barrel fired from the cannon.
The bronze boom cannon is a collector's item, a status symbol.
"So if this cannon is really mounted on the gun position, then the captain's brain must be caught in the steering wheel. β
Tsukizakura rubbed her temples and pretended not to understand anything.
"Nimo, you'd better explain to me what the hell is going on...... My moon angel left you not to embarrass me. β
Tsukizakura got up. She was about to jump from the tavern window onto the ship, but she seemed to see something murderous. The whole person squatted on the windowsill and froze into a statue.
Wang Ming hurried over: "What, what's wrong?
Yueying pointed to the boat, and her mouth opened and closed: "Sister, sister paper!
The boy was Sichun's age, and as soon as he heard Yueying's words, his head turned to the ship under the control of male hormones.
On the slender hull, there are many slender girls.
A girl with animal ears was standing at the bow of the ship, carrying a huge cable with the thickness of her wrists in both hands, staggering and pulling, slowly pulling the giant ship towards the dock, and the whole ship was dragged by the pair of slender wrists, gradually approaching the dock.
Another elven girl in a robe shouted without an elven demeanor: "You waste, hurry up for me! It's still early to rest! Hurry up and tighten the winch for me! But it took you so long to take the foremast, didn't you even eat breakfast! Give me strength! One, two, three, pull! For the sake of the Lord of the West Sea, take out all your strength to play with your life!"
Tsukizakura looked back at the boy behind her, and she saw a face that was just as stunned as herself.
"Mia, what I'm seeing isn't a hallucination, is it?"
"You don't see hallucinations, Your Highness, you don't dream, you see things that are true, even if they are contrary to common sense. β
Wang Ming wiped his sweat, trying to ignore the young crew members who were about to turn the boat over with their bare hands and repair the bottom of the boat.
"Sister, your crew is really quite your style. β
Tsukizakura turned her face away: "I don't know them." β
"But you just said this was your ship. β
β...... I said I didn't know them. β
Ten minutes later, the current captain of the Moon Angel walked into the Gilded Harpoon Tavern, and after a months-long campaign, she desperately wanted to get a shot...... No, I really want to have a drink.
When Yueying tried to go up and talk, Wang Ming was sitting at the bar drinking a drink, while secretly looking at the mysterious man wrapped in a cloak.
The earthy yellow cloak makes the legendary character in Tsukizakura's mouth look more like a village girl, and the shadow of the hood makes her even more inconspicuous.
She lowered her hood, revealing her long brown hair, which shone in the dim light of the oil lamp.
The bartender seemed to know her well, and before she could speak, he accosted, "Still the same?"
"This time, put more ice. β
The voice was as sweet as honey, and Wang Ming couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and pour a big sip of ale wine.
He had a hard time believing that this delicious creature of ripe apples was a privateer captain.
But soon, Wang Ming had to put away his prejudices, because he found something above the girl's head that humans didn't haveβa pair of furry ears that were turning back and forth like a radar.
As if sensing Wang Ming's gaze, one ear turned towards him. Staring at the white fluff in his ears for less than three seconds. He consciously turned his face away.
Subsequently. The girl's ears began to rotate irregularly, occasionally bouncing twice, to drive away the flying insects that tried to land overhead.
The bartender laid out all the drinking utensils in his hand, and then pulled out a basket of apples.
The bartender then poured a jar of ice over the apples and poured her a glass of mead.
"Uh, aren't ice cubes in the wine?"
Although there are such doubts. But Wang Ming still turned his face away again, and only observed the mysterious girl with his peripheral vision.
The girl unbuttoned the cloak on her chest, and the dirty and tattered cloak slid to the ground.
And as the cloak slipped off, the girl's fluffy tail behind the buttocks was exposed, swaying in the air, Wang Ming couldn't help but think of the Chinese pastoral dog he had raised before.
"Hey~ Sure enough, chilled apples are the best!"
There was a crunch click, and the apple that was lucky enough to be selected had a small tooth mark on it. As the flesh and juice murmured on the tip of the girl's tongue, the tail began to swing faster, and it was clear that the apple had made the girl's mood very good.
However, Wang Ming noticed a small detail.
"She even swallowed the apple core!"
Of course, that's not the point. In fact, apple cores can also be eaten.
"Oh, can you eat it?
I just said that you can eat it, but I didn't say if you will be okay if you eat it.
Just when Wang Ming was surprised by the girl's appearance. Tsukizakura quietly sneaked over, and her movements were as skillful as a professional assassin.
Tsukizakura imitated the rhythm of the feline before predation, and slowly came behind the girl, and the moment the girl reached for the seventeenth apple, Tsukizakura moved.
With a swift blow, Yueying's slender but powerful arms were wrapped around the girl's neck, and her body was directly attached to the girl's back, and Wang Ming faintly saw that the soft flesh on Yueying's chest was flattened by this.
"Hero-chan, we're meeting again!Baby, let my sister kiss it~"
In response to Yueying's passionate kiss, it was an apple, which was firmly stuck in Yueying's mouth at the moment.
The girl who was called Herro by Tsukizakura was holding the apple with her hand, causing the apple to turn back and forth in the mouth of the Tsukimashiro, and Tsukizakura was forced to make a "whine" sound under the girl's brutal methods.
"Phew!" Yue Ying spat out the contents of her mouth, "Heluo, it's hard to meet, how can you do such a thing to your eldest sister!"
Harrow turned her face away, "I think I should pretend I don't know you." β
"Don't be so cold, I'm very happy to see my sister Heluo. Tsukizakura said to herself, not noticing the fact that Hlo's fists were clenched.
The girl stuffed the twenty-first apple into Tsukizakura's mouth: "I'm not happy." β
Yue Sakura pulled out the murder weapon that was blocking her throat, and when she saw Hero grabbing the twenty-fourth apple, she quickly covered her mouth: "Children can't lie." β
"That's the truth. β
β......β
Wang Ming saw that Yueying was frustrated, and immediately ran over.
"Is this sister the one we want to take refuge into?"
Heluo squinted at Wang Ming: "Are you the girl that the eldest sister said was going to hire a ship to find the One Piece Legacy and the Miracle Scroll?"
"Well, except for the gender, the eldest sister is not wrong. β
Harrow picked up the mead and took a sip of it.
"Ahab~ It's most comfortable to have a bottle of mead after eating apples!--IMHO, my employment fee is very expensive. β
Wang Ming's eyelids jumped twice, and he looked at Yue Ying with doubt: "Eldest sister, didn't you say that this is your subordinate? Why do you still need money?"
Yue Ying didn't reply with her eyes, and directly said the reply in lingua franca: "Heluo, I didn't expect you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to also betray the revolution and become capitalism." β
As she spoke, she patted Helo's thin shoulder vigorously, and the strength made Helo stumble.
So the thirty-fourth apple was stuffed into Tsukizakura's mouth.
Just when Yue Ying tried her best to cough up the apple crumbs that had choked into her trachea, Wang Ming received a mental message.
From: Gentle, virtuous, empathetic, beautiful, and sexy Tsukizakura-sama.
"Mia, go and hide all the apples of Helo. At any cost, we must completely destroy that box of apples!"
Wang Ming took his eyes off the psionic display on the left side of his field of vision, and looked at Yue Ying, who was coughing darkly, and the latter gave a meaningful look.
Wang Ming quietly stretched out his hand to the apple.
The surging magic power gathered in an instant, and the powerful spell flowed in his heart, and after the last syllable was silently recited, Wang Ming spit out the word in his heart.
Firestorm.
I'm too lazy to comment on what it's like to bombard a basket of apples with a firestorm that compresses the range and increases its power with a transcendent control. Anyway, the basket of apples was completely finished, and the ashes it left behind were blown away by the whirling flames, leaving only a bamboo basket that smelled of burnt.
Tsukizakura crushed the apple in her hand, letting the white flesh and juice slip from her fingers.
"Helo, there are no apples now, see how you resist~"
The angry Tsukizakura was like a panther panther punishing its prey, her eyes flashing with excitement and blood-red brilliance, and she threw Hero to the ground lightly, rubbing her face back and forth on Hero's cheeks.
"The skin is getting better and better!, let's let my sister check if her breasts have developed...... Wow, level D, there's a slight surplus, the number jΓΉ is really improving by leaps and bounds, I'm a little jealous!"
Hey, don't start working on lilies in broad daylight, okay?
Harrow desperately stretched out a hand from Yueying's arms, scratching in the air like a drowning kitten, desperately reaching for the bamboo basket, but when she put her hand into the bamboo basket with great effort, the empty touch made the girl cry out in despair: "No!"
The screams were quickly drowned out by Tsukizakura's distorted and indescribable blasphemy.
Ten minutes later, Wang Ming opened his eyes, pulled out the fingers blocked in the ear holes, and slowly turned around: "Sister, can I turn around?"
Holding Heluo, who was lying in her arms panting, Yueying reached out to straighten the girl's clothes: "Well, Mia, you did a good job this time." Without the apple, Helo is simply suffering, and has no resistance at all - Helo-chan, how about we go to find the treasure of One Piece and lend us the ship?"
"No, don't ......"
With a hint of displeasure on her face, she ordered, "Mia, turn your face again, close your eyes and plug your ears." β
Five minutes later.
"How about borrowing us a boat?"
"Don't ......"
Yue Ying licked the corners of her mouth and said with a wicked smile: "I just like to resist!"
But before Yueying gave the order for Wang Ming to avoid, she heard Heluo's weak voice: "Don't, don't stop!
β......β
Ten minutes later.
Wang Ming tried to calm down somewhere in his body, and now the mage robe had bulged into an inconspicuous small ball. Moon Sakura is extremely hostile to males, and if the eldest sister finds herself in a fighting state, she may be directly confiscated of her weapons.
Thinking of the scene where Yue Ying slowly cut her weapon with the eyes of looking at the tonic, Wang Ming was so frightened that he immediately withered.
Poor child.
"Then, Mia, go and call everyone to gather, and after purchasing supplies, we will go to sea immediately!"
Wang Ming asked timidly: "Eldest sister, those crew members have just returned to the port, do they need some time to rest?"
"No need!" "No need!" Yueying's voice was filled with an indescribable object called domineering, "Follow my sister's footsteps on an expedition, that is a blessing that they have cultivated in eight lifetimes, and others don't have a chance to join us yet!"
Wang Ming shrugged his shoulders and passed the command to Xing Lian, and then used the telepathic connection to spread to every corner of the Knights' upper echelons. After doing this, he took out the purchase list written by Cangyang in advance and walked to the market area. (To be continued......)
