Chapter 174: Encounter 1

"We haven't run into other ships for a week, we've strayed from the main channel. ”

Carmelita withdrew her head from the window, which was the size of a head, and carved a horizontal line and a triangular symbol parallel to it on the wooden table with the sharp angle of the chain.

The horizontal line represents that the day has passed on the boat, and the triangle represents that there have been no other ships on that day. According to the number of horizontal lines on the wooden table, today is already the twenty-seventh day after boarding the ship, plus the number of days in a row that there has been no encounter with the ship, the goddess officer has come to the above conclusion.

"When was the last time you were restocked?"

"Ten days ago, stayed in Mirune Island for a day. Carmelita checked the traces on the table and replied in the affirmative.

"If you don't reach your destination, then the next supply should not be far away. Gehr estimated the interval between the first two supplies and determined the time for the next one.

As for what to do after stopping at the time of replenishment, the two did not discuss it much, the current situation is that they can only wait for opportunities, every opportunity that may arise needs to be considered, and all they can do is to be fully prepared for the opportunities that may come.

However, Belif was very closely guarded in this regard, and once he docked for supplies, everyone but his men had to return to their cabins, making it difficult for Gehr to get a chance.

As for Beliff's purpose, Gehr and Camerita agreed that they must have established an overseas base, and if they don't know, they will also build a religious country such as the Kingdom of God, and develop overseas in the future, otherwise there is no way to explain why they have to take so many slaves for Lu, you must know that according to Gehr and Camerita's observations. It is certain that there were at least two hundred slaves on board, and all of them were strong. It is fully capable of undertaking the construction of a small village and town, and there is no problem in establishing a good place to stay.

And this overseas base should be a desert island that deviates from the main route and is far away from the mainland. This situation is very common nowadays. In the Age of Discovery, except for the islands that could be replenished on the main shipping lanes, there was a certain value. Unless it's large and easy to develop, it's largely unattended.

It's just that even if you find an opportunity when the ship docks to replenish, then how do you cross this vast sea and return to the mainland without a ship?

Thinking about this gives Gell a little headache.

"I'll go up to the deck for a walk, and I'll be back in half an hour for you. ”

"It's good. ”

Compared to the other slaves, Gehr and Camerita were freer, but they also had great restrictions, one of which was that they were not allowed to leave the cabin at the same time. That is, if one person goes out, the other person must stay in the room.

Gell knocked on the door.

Soon, the door was opened, and two soldiers appeared in the shadows outside the doorway, their sharp eyes scanning every detail of the cabin.

"I'm going to the deck. ”

Listening to Gehr's words, the two soldiers moved out of the way.

Gehr walked out of the city.

After Gehr left, the door was quickly shut, and then the soldiers rang the rope bell, and soon four more soldiers came from nowhere. Circle Gehr along the passage that leads to the upper floors of the Ran.

The clanging sound crept down the floor all the way up, and finally came to the exit of the cabin, where the sun shone in and the eyes were golden red. The humid and strong wind came in front of you, dispelling the depression caused by the long-term indoor environment.

There were some slaves on the deck that were active.

For these slaves, Cliff is still quite attentive. The food wasn't good, but it didn't starve them. Every day, they will be allowed to go on deck to get some sunshine to prevent some diseases that are easily obtained by being in the dark room for a long time. In this respect, they were already among the most benevolent of the slave traders.

Of course, these slaves also had to work, such as the work that originally belonged to the sailors to wipe the deck.

Gell glanced across the deck and soon saw Beto.

The gangster from Baker Street now seems to be getting a little better again, and Ger has seen him mingle with the sailors on the ship many times in the past few days, not only helping them out, but also making the sailors laugh with vulgar jokes, and it is evident that he also has a unique talent for communication.

Now the sailors are packing up their nets and preparing to catch some seafood to improve their food.

"Hard! hard!"

"One, two, three!

"One, two, three!

"Beto, your hands are faster!"

"Keep it up!Yes, that's it, right away!"

"Alright, alright! Ha, come up!"

"Ha, it's another net!"

A bare-chested, bearded sailor cheered loudly, and several sailors next to him also laughed and went up to help, pulling the net onto the deck, and Beto was among them.

There was a loud noise, and a net of seafood was thrown onto the deck, wetting a large part of the deck, and then flowing down the drain back into the sea, leaving a large slippery water stain on the deck.

"A lot of rocky fish, not bad, this time there is a mouthful!"

There are fish and shrimp left on the deck, and even starfish, sea urchins and shells, which are spread out for about several square meters. Several sailors rummaged through the seafood, and soon found several large silver fish more than a meter long, and shouted happily.

The fish is elongated and narrow, with a back and head that shimmer blue in the sun, dense horn spines on the back, and blue-black spots scattered on the sides.

Gehr recognized this fish, in fact, he had eaten it a few times these days, this kind of rocky fish has less spines, fat and fat, whether it is cooked or grilled, it is very delicious, and it does not even need to be seasoned, it can be regarded as one of the favorite foods of people who live at sea.

At this time, Beto, who followed the sailors to inspect the seafood, happened to turn in the direction where Gehr was, saw Gehr who was surrounded by soldiers in the middle, and immediately saluted from a distance, and then rummaged quickly on the ground, and soon held a rocky fish that was almost two meters away towards Gehr.

"My lord, this ......" Beto carefully stood outside the soldier's guard circle, indicating that he had no ill intentions.

"Thank you. Just leave it to the kitchen. Gell nodded slightly at Beto. It's not the first time, as long as there is a harvest and a run into Gehr. Beto will definitely deliver something.

"Very good, sir. Beto bowed and stepped aside. Watching Gehr and the soldiers around him leave.

"Hey, fool, what's the use of currying favor with this prisoner? The bearded sailor waited for Gell and the soldiers to leave, and then came up.

The bearded sailor's name is Zant, and because of his experience as a gangster before becoming a sailor, he and Beto have the same words and get along well, and he is very puzzled by what Beto has been doing in his eyes these days.

"It's an investment. Beto smiled nonchalantly. Looking back at the other sailors, sure enough, they were pointing fingers at him, and laughing from time to time, obviously he had become a fool and a joke in their hearts.

"Cut, what kind of investment? Lao Tzu used to say what the richest people in the village said about investment, and gave all the money to a man named Balu...... Baloo...... Or something, and then after a year, he jumped off a cliff by the sea, and heard that all his money was gone. Zant spat on the ground. Very disdainful. "Put more effort into doing a good job, those old men may be exempted from your slave status as soon as they are happy, and you will follow me as a sailor in the future, and you will have money and food. You can still find a few girls on the shore, how good it was that day. ”

"You don't understand. Beto withdrew his gaze and walked towards the kitchen with the fish in his hand. "I'll go to the kitchen first. ”

"Hmph. What to pack. Zant cursed in a low voice, even though both of them were from gangster backgrounds. But the level of experience is different, if you say that Zant is still the initial stage of collecting protection money for street fights. Then Beto can be considered the embryonic stage of an organized underworld leader, although he got into the current trouble after his first mistake.

Beto didn't hear the words, and walked quickly to the kitchen. In fact, he knew in his heart that investing in Gehr would not necessarily pay off, but it was always a hope, and his feelings told him that Gehr was a person worth investing in, and how could he rely on those big people. Besides, it's just a matter of being kind and giving away some worthless seafood at sea, and he doesn't think it's worth it.

Gehr, who moved on, didn't know what Beto was thinking, and he didn't need to think about it.

Gehr did not stop on the deck, but came to an observation deck about five or six meters above the deck. Located at the top of the entrance to the cabin, this observatory is the only high point on the deck other than the masts, from which you can clearly see the situation on the deck and the scene in the sea in the distance.

Standing on the platform, the sea breeze was stronger than the one on the deck, and his clothes were blowing.

Gehr closed his eyes and immersed himself in the realm of consciousness, letting go of his senses, feeling the strange power of the air around him, trying to capture the mysterious and special energy that Carmerita said.

Although Camerita judged that Gel did not have a future in this regard, Gel himself felt that it would be good to try, and even if it didn't work, it would be good to get the corresponding information.

"Establish a mission that targets energy particles and mercury cells. ”

"The task is established....... the goal is set, start capturing and analyzing, try to build a model......" The cold sound of the machine sounded in Gehr's consciousness, and then countless data began to tell the refresh in the corner of the field of vision, like a waterfall.

"Energy Particle Capture Complete...... Modeling...... According to the available information, it was named the wind energy particle. ”

Gehr's consciousness saw a strange geometric figure with countless rhombic edges, shining with azure luster, and the number of ramps was constantly changing, without stopping for a moment.

But just like Camerita said, the energy particles Gel could feel it, but it was only that, he had no way to affect these active and abnormal energy particles at all. However, the goal of these wind energy particles is clear, which is to keep converging towards Gehr's left hand, and then scatter in all directions, as if there is something there that attracts them.

As for the mercury cells, they were not captured from start to finish, let alone modeled.

Twenty minutes later, Gell opened his eyes.

Spread out your left hand and look at the Mosius pattern that you had obtained in the palm of your hand under Broseham Castle.

There was an indescribable feeling, and Gehr always felt that the golden eyes seemed to open a little. Unfortunately, his left hand had been isolated from the module's detection capabilities, so he was unable to obtain more information for a while.

Suddenly, Gehr felt something in his heart and looked up at the sky in front of the ship to the left.

The sky is blue and spotless. (To be continued......)
