Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

For the travelers from the earth, it is a prosperous city of Brion, and in Lu Chen's eyes, it can't catch up with a lively town, and too many vendors also make the road untidy and smooth, but watching the pedestrians complete one transaction after another, he still feels that Dwayne takes care of him. It is clear that the city's taxes have definitely exceeded the first pot of gold that Malcolm received since he came into this world, and no matter which document it is, there is no mention of how much tax to pay to the kingdom.

Walking through the streets, buying some small things for the people around him, and meeting a few girls who had already come out to play on the way, and finally at dusk, Lu Chen and his party came to the highest viewing tower in the city.

Although the sunset cannot be seen in this geographical location, the sea dyed red is also a rare beauty, which makes the four Verona who are rarely relaxed slightly intoxicated, but Lu Chen frowned a little disappointed.

"Chenchen, what's wrong?" Verona noticed that Lu Chen was a little strange, and as he looked over, he saw several smoking black dots, slowly approaching the port to the east: "That should be a fleet that has been attacked." ”

"Well, the navy, to be precise, with the flag of the kingdom on it, it seems that this place is not as peaceful as it seems. Go to the harbor and have a look, I've never seen a ship here. Lu Chen said and got off the observation tower a little excitedly.

"Why are you two so eyesighted, and why do I only see the black flame you said?" Evelyn followed indifferently, and Rafita and Weiss didn't care about their eyesight.

When we arrived at the port unhurriedly, the fleet of ships riding the sea breeze had almost arrived. The four smoky ones all had different damages, and the most severe one was dragged behind the remaining two intact ships before they were able to return to port, but the crew's expressions were very happy, and it should have been a great victory.

Sure enough, after docking, when the crew disembarked with the wounded in an orderly manner, they were heard talking about the achievement: a pirate regiment with four warships was completely wiped out, and their own side only paid the price of serious damage to one battleship.

Very good news. He also had a good impression of the city's administrators, but looking at the "warships" of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries on the earth, while excited about the "Age of Discovery", Lu Chen was also worried about the inevitable naval battles, after all, this is a world of magic, and no matter how thick a wooden ship is like a piece of paper in front of the magic of artillery, and his idea was immediately verified, on two intact warships. Two six-star fire mages walked down each.

"Master, you're here too, I'm sorry, what you made us do not go well. As the surrounding crowd cheered for the victorious returning hero, Abrego's voice appeared at the side of Lu Chen's five.

It was very noisy around, and I saw that Craig and Abrego were still carrying a person who looked like a businessman. Lu Chen casually released two positive and negative sound insulation techniques, and then said that he was fine: "It's because of pirates, so I can't find a crew member who is willing to sail, right?"

Then before Abrego could reply, the man who followed them spoke first: "Hehe, I can't imagine that the loyalists of these two Excellencies are so young. In Lower Humphreys, a local mercenary mercenary merchant. What you just said is just one of the reasons. Knowing that Diana's ominous ship is not something that an ordinary ship can enter, not to mention that you have to fill it with tempting supplies, not to mention that your actions are tantamount to strengthening the enemy for Brion, and the sea beasts in the river alone are enough to make people lose their courage. ”

"Mercenary merchant, you look like you're in your early thirties, you actually have a merchant group and a mercenary group at the same time, it's very good, no wonder there is the biggest ship here, but what you said just now, it's more like you don't want to sell the ship, can you give us a reason to help us?" Lu Chen's lack of common sense is the sisters' favorite hot spot, but when something really happens, everyone will try their best to explain it to him, Evelyn was afraid that this little lover only cared about his purpose, so she rushed to the front to ask.

"Because you generously bought my ship and most of the stranded cargo. Truth be told, my merchant group and mercenary group were disastrous the last time they went to sea, and the navy's operation this time was to help us merchants open the way, but like most people, most of the goods I hoarded were seasonal, and even if they were too late to ship them out. Oh, by the way, I can't help with the crew issues, but if you insist on entering the Diana River, I can take care of some official matters for you. Humphreys said with a grateful face, in addition to his sincere gratitude, he with six-star primary strength, he was also shocked by Lu Chen's sound insulation technique, and understood that the little boy in front of him was definitely not an ordinary child of a big family.

"Take what you need, thank you and don't need it, if you don't bother, you can take me to see the ship, and by the way, tell me about those sea beasts, I'll figure out the crew by myself." If it's really dangerous, I won't hire ordinary people who don't have a certain strength. Motioning for Abrego to lead the way, Lu Chen casually withdrew the soundproofing technique.

The other party's attitude was very kind, Humphreys didn't think much about it, said "yes", followed Lu Chen's side, and then, after leaving the noisy crowd, told him about the flooded river and the dangerous sea beast.

Not long afterward, when Lu Chen felt that sea beasts should be a rare resource, but lacked a strong enough ship to hunt, he saw the "big ship" that Humphreys had sold to him.

The length will not exceed thirty meters, and the widest point is not ten meters, compared to the modern warships on the earth, Lu Chen couldn't help but hang beads of sweat in his head, and for a moment he really had the idea of dismissing the idea of taking a ship, but considering that after the construction of the city, the ship is one of the necessary means of transportation, or follow Humphreys to the deck to experience the "ancient" atmosphere on the spot. Fortunately, the twelve large ballistae in the front and back and left left made him not too disappointed in this antique, at least it can be used as a model in the dock in the future, or open a special restaurant.

After a cursory visit, Lu Chen considered how to use the Alchemy Array to transform it, but at this moment, a group of soldiers surrounded the big ship, and an officer boarded the deck accompanied by the two previous fire magicians, and glanced at everyone with a fierce expression.
