Chapter 122 Poisonous Gas (Part 1)
In a room, Fang Xin poured several materials into the crucible, and alcohol lamps were burned below. Pieces of blue smoke rose, passed through the glass, and stayed in the pot-shaped glass pipe. Even if it was sealed, it had a faint smell of bitterness.
Soon, the liquid below had been cooked and the entire glass pipe was filled with blue smoke. Fang Xin whispered. After a moment, a blue light shot in. Suddenly, the blue smoke froze into liquid form and settled in the bottom of the glass.
This is the "frozen ray". The fourth level 0 spell learned by Fang Xin can cause a short-term cold breath. Fang Xin dared not neglect and immediately turned off the alcohol lamp, then took out three small glass bottles and took out a small glass spoon.
Fang Xin quickly opened the lid, spooned the frozen liquid into the bottle, and then covered it again. Finally, he quickly injected it into the original glass pipe with clean water for cleaning. But even so, time had come, and a trace of blue smoke emerged again. Although he was prepared for a long time, Fang Xin still felt dizzy.
Fang Xin quickly opened the window to let the outside air in, and the dizziness slowly disappeared.
Fang Xin proudly held the three glass bottles and smiled.
Speaking of which, when sea trade is prevalent between the mainland, pirates naturally emerged. It is said that since ships sail, there have been pirates, especially today, where the navigation is developed, it is the golden age of pirates.
Between hundreds of routes on the mainland, various ships loaded with gold and other cargo are swaying everywhere. This not only leads to the participation of merchants, but also to the participation of various countries. The emergence of "private licenses" issued by the state has also made pirate activities "legalized".
In this era of countless sea ships, freedom, honor and interests, a number of famous pirates emerged, black sickle, black baron, blood rose, etc., all of which became legends, and even gained aristocratic status by relying on pirates.
Therefore, in this era, any ship pays attention to fighting. Vincent Manley was able to traverse the sea for twenty years. Not only was he connected with the pirate group, but he had connections with officials from various cities. The sailors he organized were naturally strong and could fight. It can even be said that in this era when land wars subsided and marine wars were prevalent, the most elite warrior in the mainland, Hamblin, used to run the sea and became the first mate, and was a level five warrior!
There are fifty sailors on the Golden Sheep, and more than half are level 3 to fourth-level warriors, while Fang Xin does not find it rare for the others, even level 5 to six warriors. After all, after twenty years of traversing the ocean, a large number of elite soldiers will naturally accumulate, which is not comparable to ordinary fleets - it is possible that two or three level 7 or eight warriors may appear!
Fang Xin's strength is limited by this body, which is at level 6 to 7. Of course, he believes that he can kill two warriors of the same level, but what about the others?
If you know directly about attacking Vincent Manley's ship, Motste and his sailors will definitely withdraw. Forty warriors with average level three, how can they fight against fifty warriors with average level one and a half higher?
The Magicians have a book about magic (of course, it's just an introduction). One of the spells is the Cloud of Death. This spell can create a large area of ​​smoke. This smoke is highly poisonous and can make the inhaler dizzy within a few seconds and die within half a minute.
If one is used on the ship when the wind is small and the wind is flat, the other one can lose the combat effectiveness of most people.
But this is a level five spell, and it is not even allowed to read, let alone cast it. However, in Fang Xin's opinion, this doesn't matter at all - isn't it just poisonous fog?
With such advanced basic ingredients technology in alchemy and magic, it is not easy to find a fast and deadly smoke formula, but it is not difficult to extract it through alchemy, then put it in a bottle, and then explode.
Although the actual effect is much worse than the Dead Cloud Technique, putting three bottles together is almost the same as a Dead Cloud Technique. Even if it has the disadvantage that non-magical clouds are easily blown away, it is not a problem if used properly.
What is a mage? The mage relies on wisdom to make a living. Fang Xin learned the essence of it. In one night, he prepared three bottles. Although the rare poison raw materials used 100 gold lakes, it was completely worth it. After a moment of sneering, Fang Xin carefully took out a box with cotton inside and put the three bottles in it to avoid accidental leakage during collision.
After changing into his clothes, Fang Xin walked out of the building and got into a carriage. The carriage was of course simple, and the sun shone directly in, but because it was morning and the air was relatively humid, the heat was reduced.
English Putrajaya is a commercial port, and August is even more busy. Although it is the morning, it is already full of noisy and busy sounds. On every street and in the square, you can already see busy workers and carriages.
The carriage brought Fang Xin to the dock, which was a large port with countless ships crowded with them. The extraditioners at the dock commanded back and forth, allowing the ships to be arranged neatly and enter and exit in an orderly manner.
Usually, it is still very troublesome to check, permit, pass taxes, and guide a boat to enter and exit, but Fang Xin’s current identity is different after all, so when Fang Xin arrived at the dock, he saw Motste greeting him and said, “Captain, the port permit has been completed.”
These people who often live on the ocean are naturally the most noble captains. Therefore, when they go to sea, they are not called Sir Fang Xin, but call him the captain. As for himself, they are naturally the first mate - the second person on the ship!
"Well, let's get on the boat!" Fang Xin nodded and said, he rushed to his ship. Sure enough, the ship warehouse was full of goods, heavy and had a deep drip. Fang Xin jumped onto the boat and immediately issued an order.
Sure enough, very soon, under the command of the guide ship, the ship in front of him was continuously leaving the port, and it was its turn. The ship began to run and departed along the narrow channel.
Of course, it was very slow to leave the port. Fang Xin stood on the deck and looked at the neat port embankment made of blue stone and granite. He had to admit that this port was already the limit of modern technical conditions. However, this was not his purpose. He looked at the ships along the port. Although his vision was not very broad, he soon saw his own goal.
The four boats docked on the dock at the same time, forming their own grids. The sailors and workers were busy on it. A cold light flashed in Fang Xin's eyes and found the target.
...
After the crew members left the port, Fang Xin came to the captain's room. The captain's room was very large and was quite luxurious for the narrow space on the ship. There was also a small laboratory bench fixed.
Fang Xin took out a roll of things and spread them on the desktop. This was a huge map.
"This is a military chart!" Mott, who followed, stared at the map as soon as he looked at it. This chart is a complete map of the coastal areas of two continents. The map was made very detailed. The islands along the way, towns along the way, and even the villages that were supplied were marked.
The main rivers, forests and hills along the coast are all drawn.
Although pirates are familiar with the ocean, they have been familiar with the rough charts with decades of experience. They may be familiar with the parts, but they cannot be familiar with such large areas. Such charts can not be purchased, and only nobles and chambers of commerce have them.
"I bought this one, I spent 100 gold lakes!" Fang Xin said.
"100 Jinlek, worth it!" Motste said gritting his teeth at the chart.
This kind of military chart is naturally an extremely precious thing. A captain with this is much safer. Fang Xin smiled and said, "You can copy one, but I want 50 Jinlekes."
50 gold lakes are 500 silver lakes, which is naturally a big sum of money. However, Motst stared for a moment and finally said, "Okay, I'll copy one!"
Of course he won't come out alone, and others dare not say it, and his core players will definitely support him.
Fang Xin nodded and said coldly: "I will talk about it later, I will talk about the plan."
Fang Xin pointed to a point on the chart: "This is where we are now. In five and a half days, we will arrive at Shaq Harbor, which is the last supplement point along the way, so there must be many ships, where they will replenish freshwater and food at the end... We will wait there and then choose the target of attack."
"Inside Shaq Harbour?"
"Of course not, after leaving the port!" Fang Xin said decisively.
Motst thought about it and nodded silently, thinking that this method was good. Shaq Harbor is an island and does not have much strength. Therefore, he caused trouble in the port and naturally had to fight to maintain its business. However, after leaving the port, it would definitely ignore it, even if it was fighting around at its doorstep.
Even if you don’t fight in the port, you can still go into the port to rest and replenish supplies if you take other people’s ships.
"Next... if we win, we will rest at Shaq Harbor for at most two days. The pastor will treat you, and then continue to cross the Burgu Strait and continue northward. It is expected that in half a month, we will arrive at the city of West Tsai on the opposite continent, where we deliver goods and ships, and then we will come back with the cargo. We will try to complete the above journey within one and a half months." Fang Xin said carefully.
"Well, Captain's plan, I agree."
"That's good, just go out and command."
He said to Hadak again: "Hadak, from today on, you will record the navigation log."
