In this era of rapid development of ship technology and the opening of new shipping routes, there is also a breeding ground for pirates.

They plundered merchant ships across the seas, and indirectly contributed to this phenomenon for some unspeakable reason between countries, which was the privateer's license.

The so-called privateer license is essentially equivalent to obtaining a bankrupt version of the maritime army dedicated to fighting enemy merchants, and it is still free.

As for the situation that Chen Zhou is encountering now, it is also the norm on the sea.

In this day and age, sailing by boat inevitably involves dealing with pirates.

In most cases, it is enough to increase the speed to widen the distance or sacrifice some cargo, but this time the situation seems to be a bit different.

The pirates chasing after them seemed to come from some group with a bad reputation, and the ships they used were newer ships that had been powered by magic to increase their speed.

A fierce battle is inevitable, either with sacrifices to repel pirates, or a failed resistance and slaughter.

Fortunately, Todak's merchant ships came from the dwarven kingdom, and even if the dwarves never dealt with the sea for several lifetimes, the ships they built were still very reliable and theoretically could not be sunk.

"Pirates?"

Hearing the warning of the lookout on the deck, Chen Zhou, who had experienced all kinds of otherworldly customs for the first time, was quite interested, and planned to go up to watch the battle between the Eight Kings caravan and the pirates.

However, as soon as he turned around, the old mage beside him suddenly grabbed him.

"What are you going up there to make a fuss about?"

Setan frowned and dissuaded: "We are non-combat-oriented spellcasters, as long as we protect these high-end ingredients." ”

The caster is a scarce resource.

On average, there are several warriors in a hundred, a mage in a thousand, and a warlock in a thousand.

In this case, the caster himself means wealth, and the caster with support and production capacity is an important member of all forces.

As long as the pirate doesn't get along with the money, he won't get along with the spellcaster.

What the mage wants is stability, and the warlock should spare his life, he only earns dozens of gold coins a month, what kind of life do you play.

"Don't worry, I won't go up and participate in the battle, just to see the excitement."

Chen Zhou was unmoved.

He could see that the old mage Setan really spared his life, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to roam the sea for so long.

But it doesn't have to be to fight the pirates.

He hasn't even killed a fish, and the small fish weighing less than 30 catties are released on the spot, and he still kills?

Isn't that a joke?

Just look at the lively .jpg

Ignoring the old mage's dissuasion, he rushed out of the cargo hold in three or five steps.

Looking at the back of the tiger man leaving, Setan, who remained in the warehouse, turned dark.

It's really strange to say so much to himself and what to do...... Tsk, Warlock!

Let's just see, is it so easy for you to see something terrible?

Sometimes it's just a glimpse and something happens!

Forget it, the orcs should not die if they are so durable to watch the excitement.

Anyway, he is neither prepared for battle spells nor fighting, and no one wants him to be sent to death like this......

……

"Tom? Just in time! Pick up a weapon and come with me! ”

Not long after going out, Chen Zhou bumped into Dara, the dwarf who was said to be a prince banished by the clan.

At this moment, he was carrying a heavy shield and a dwarven battle axe, intending to go to the deck to prepare for the battle that might take place.

Chen Zhou declared without any fuss: "I will not fight. ”

This groundbreaking sentence made the dwarf stagger, and he looked back at the other party in disbelief, his eyes full of doubt.

Orcs who can't fight?

And is it a tiger man who is extremely rare among the orcs and is known for his bravery?

If you can't fight, the dwarves won't drink!

Sensing the suspicious look in the other party's eyes, Chen Zhou had to shrug his shoulders and say, "Believe it or not, I have never even killed a fish in my life, and I usually spend most of my time just practicing spells, and the spells I master are all non-lethal." ”

The implication is that if you let me fight, you will take my life.

I'm just a little kitten from the 21st century who just wants to eat more than 300 pounds .jpg don't want to make

It is worth mentioning that none of the spells that Chen Zhou chose for himself after understanding the role of the life plan book were really not used for battle.

"Illumination": For lighting.

"Spark": Make a fire.

"Mage's Hand": Replace your fingers after going to the toilet...... Oh hand paper.

"Magic Tricks": A variety of small features to be explored.

"Water Formation": Make water or ice.

"Bubble Technique": If you fall into the water, you won't drown.

What stands out is that he is honest and can barely live a slightly bearable life in the Middle Ages.

The breath of life in this kind of French watch is so strong that even the old bastard in his fifties in the cargo hold...... The old mage was ashamed of himself, and it was precisely because of this that he advised Chen Zhou not to make a fuss.

"What a hell of a life!" The dwarf felt that he had simply discovered a new species.

However, in the end, Chen Zhou honestly took a heavy steel shield when passing by the arsenal, if he didn't know how to wear the armor, other people's armor would not be impossible...... But in fact there was no armor for his size.

Then the dwarven prince led him to the deck.

The sea breeze is blowing, the terns are far away, and in this refreshing blue sea and blue sky, a large wooden boat with black smoke constantly emitting from its head is thinking of the fleet of the Eight Kings caravan.

"It's over, the Black Sail Pirates have a new type of magic ship, and the days at sea will not be peaceful in the future!"

As soon as he arrived on the deck, Chen Zhou heard the sailors and porters who were busy and did not know what to prepare.

Then he squinted his eyes and looked at the pirate ships that were about a dozen kilometers away from the fleet, and there were large and small pirate ships emitting black smoke.

Is this a magic ship?

This isn't a steamship!

Even merchants haven't popularized steam freighters, pirates have steam speedboats, and this world is too magical!

Oh, it's a magical world.

"It was a steam magic ship that was put into the battlefield by various countries in the late part of the last war, powered by a magically driven flipper wheel paddling on the side of the ship."

Seeing the confusion in the eyes of the tigermen who came to help the fist, the leader of the caravan, Todak, explained with a serious face while commanding the crew: "The Black Sail Pirates accidentally captured a magic ship of Carlos at the end of the war, and then learned the techniques and made some degraded versions of the ......."

While not as good as a warship, the pirates didn't need a warship-sized ship either—their target was always merchant ships.

Listening to Todak's explanation, Chen Zhou, who did not know that the other party had already counted himself into the combat power, was thoughtful, and the imitation version of the pirate sounded like a steamship in the late 18th century.

So what period did you travel to?
