Chapter 183: Narwhal (Part 1)
Chapter 183: Unicorn White Whale (Part 1)
Sitting down at the dining table, the Winged Skeleton took away two flesh and blood skeletons. Salin heard Banchagana's strange laughter. Salin only pretended that he didn't hear it, and probably the Winged Skeleton's prank was caused by Banchagana's bewitching.
"How far have we gone?" Salin asked.
"Go to my shipwreck." Elaine replied, she had begun to help look at the charts and provide coordinates for the magic compass.
"You are in the room, and you don't respond." Eni rolled his eyes. Zola looked at Nelise with a strange look, trying to find something from her. But what surprised him was that Nelise's hair was not a trace of messy. The more Zola looked, the more shocked he found that Nelise looked like when she entered Salin's room and when she came out, it had not changed at all.
Could this be a strong man who is hidden? Zola became alert for the first time. He suddenly realized that everyone around Salin was not a weak man. Although that Shika had not cultivated any sword energy, he looked a little more dangerous than Aini. If this were the case, he should be hardworking.
Zola warned himself that if he did not work hard to practice, he would become a mediocre person. If he became a mediocre person, no woman would appreciate him anymore.
"I was a little negligent. Aini and I are magicians. We can endure long loneliness. You can't." Salin said while asking the Winged Skeleton to take over the driving of the alchemy ship and let the five magicians come to have a meal too.
"This time I go out to sea, in addition to hunting, I also need to make everyone familiar with the route. This route will be protected by my protection in the future. In the future, I will send warships to patrol. Except for us, I will not let anyone approach the Ice Sea. Elaine, let's do this, during the day, everyone will communicate here. You will introduce your past experience to you. I can give you a few guidance on magic issues, Zola, you can guide Elaine's swordsmanship."
"It seems like we are still missing a chef. I guess no one of you is willing to eat the things that the Winged Skeleton makes. It would be great if the Life Mage around Rex is here."
"Sir, we can also serve you." A low-level mage responded.
"No, the purpose of this time is to make you familiar with the alchemy ship. It is just a simple food production that cannot improve your control over magic. This requires a good environment. Zola, can you do it?" Salin suddenly looked at Zola. He carried food all year round, but it was just bread, bacon, and at most wine and tea. Sika was not picky about food, and others might not be able to withstand such a monotonous diet.
"I... can." Zola originally wanted to refuse. He was the sword saint and asked him to be a chef. He felt embarrassed. But Shika, Neris and Elaine both looked at him with their eyes. Under the gaze of the three women, Zola surrendered.
Zola has experienced an inhuman life since childhood. He is better than swordsmanship than his swordsmanship, because no one can take care of him, and he can only rely on himself.
Zola had no choice but to go to the kitchen behind. There was a lot of food prepared on the boat. Originally, the size of the boat could take hundreds of swordsmen, but after being transformed, it could accommodate almost the same people.
"Elaine, tell me what dangers are there along the way?" Salin saw Zola go to cook and began to ask about Elaine's route.
Neris made tea for everyone, and Elaine held up the tea cup and felt that she had finally gotten better. She thought for a while and said, "There is about 12,000 miles between the frozen sea and your city. Of course, I am talking about the route distance, and the straight line distance will be slightly shorter."
"So far? Wouldn't it be very cold?" Salin was surprised. He thought the frozen sea was only three or five thousand miles away. If there were ten, two thousand miles, it would be difficult to protect this route.
"No, the temperature in the north is not much different. Even when it is close to the frozen sea, plants will grow for three or four months a year. There are many islands in the north. Although these islands are large, they cannot be inhabited. They either have no cultivated land or there are deadly creatures, if there is very little water source."
"Oh? Have you seen ships from other places over the years?" Salin remembered the Kanyu Kingdom, the seas in the extreme east, those island countries, and the sailings were very developed, and there might be people entering the frozen sea.
"I have only seen the wreckage of some ships. I'm afraid the only ones who are alive are from our family."
"The hunting ground you mentioned last time was in the frozen sea?"
"No, my ship cannot enter the center of the frozen sea, and can only hunt outside. The target has told you that it is a huge shrimp. We use a special net and invest magic potion to make these shrimps lose their aggressiveness first, and then fish in large quantities."
"You said these shrimps have level 4 magic cores, but according to my calculations, you don't have that much harvest."
Elaine smiled bitterly and said, "After all, it is a level 4 monster. The magic potion we sprinkle every time is a huge investment, so we must catch enough quantities to make a profit." Elaine asked nervously: "Sarin, you come this time, do you just want to hunt the monsters that are active on the iceberg?"
"No, I'm very interested in this kind of shrimp, and the main target is them." Salin himself has alchemy. Elaine said that the front foot of this shrimp can extract Shenxing iron. Even if the fewer it is refined, it is enough for Salin."
"But I didn't see you preparing trawls and magic potions."
"No, you will know then." Salin thought to himself, who is more suitable for this than Banchagana? Banchagana's terrifying skill is just used to deal with monsters in the sea. As long as his weapons strike each other, no level 4 monsters within the attack range will be spared, and they will fall into a coma even if they don't die. At that time, Banchagana uses the dimension stone to collect it, and he doesn't have to invest any massive magic potions, nor does he need to create special trawls. Save these costs, and his income will be a terrifying number. This is a level 4 magic core!
The price difference between the fourth-level magic core is huge, but even the lowest level 4 magic core can be sold at the highest level 3 magic core. That is, 150 gold coins. However, this kind of magical beast in the sea may not have magic cores, and the quality is also uneven. Salin plans to make a big deal at one time, and all the magic cores needed for urban construction will be solved.
Seeing that Elaine was a little disappointed, Salin smiled and said, "Although you didn't do much this time, I promise you that after you come back, I will send you one by one boat. By the time next summer, you can take your own people to sea."
Enni said: "I can't afford to raise such a ship."
"It's an icebreaker. I also want to use this alchemy ship to help defend, and it will not be used to hunt in the future."
Aini and Elaine's faces improved. Salin laughed in his heart. At that time, Elaine had insufficient sailors and would still rent them from her, and she would not compensate her. If Aini and Elaine wanted to get rid of the family's control, they would have to obtain supplies from her, such as those special trawlers and hunting weapons.
When these two people succeed, they will inevitably tempt other young people from the four major families to cooperate with them, and their profits will grow like snowballs.
Elaine was still a little confused. Aini had guessed Salin's intention. However, this did not harm him. He was dissatisfied with the family and was what he dreamed of being able to do things independently. Besides, Salin gave him too good conditions, so he could not refuse.
But Enni reminded Elaine: "Elaine, will the people you brought out obey your orders unconditionally?"
"Yes, those were arranged by my mother, and even the elders in the family were difficult to command them."
Aini nodded and did not continue to ask. It seemed that Elaine was like herself. She had already thought about the interests before she met Salin. Salin had a strong backer, but they didn't have them.
Salin thought more clearly that his top priority was to build a strong army and protect himself. If he went to sea to hunt, it would be a huge investment without the use of the Pantule Alchemy Ship and Banchagana. He didn't want to pay for this money. With this money, he might as well buy food and equipment.
In Skochenya, real businessmen manipulate capital, rather than doing it themselves. Letting the people of these families pay, ships, supplies, and sell these is a large amount of income, and then share 60% of the profits. This is the real way to make money.
Elaine was lucky. Originally, Salin just wanted to let Aini be an example to attract more funds. However, since Elaine came, Salin didn't want to work hard to calculate the contents in the magic compass. If you can run this thing one day earlier, you can get rich one day earlier.
Let Qin Yin's big businessmen enjoy the benefits. After returning to the Holy See, it will inevitably arouse the anger of Qin Yin's nobles and merchants. At that time, there is no need for Salin to contribute alone, and naturally there will be huge local forces to come in to protect this precious resource.
The only thing Salin is worried about is the Alchemy City. If the people in Alchemy City want to get a share of the pie, he has no good way to refuse. If the Alchemy City refuses to cooperate, even if the Alchemy City does not come and forcefully rob, even if Yunliu's fleet comes over, it will be a disaster for his city.
People in Alchemy City will not be unable to think of this trick of killing people with a knife.
"Master, there is a monster following us!" The voice of the winged skeleton sounded in Salin's heart.
"Huh?" Salin stood up and walked towards the cabin in front. The image sent back by the Eye of the Undead was very real. Elaine, who was following Salin, screamed, and she also saw the appearance of the monster.
"Do you know it?"
"Unicorn white whale, level 9 monster!"
"Is it dangerous?"
"Of course it's dangerous, but it won't attack our ship unless...unless we fight with it for food."
"What does it eat?" Salin had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Eat shrimp. This guy has no teeth. His favorite thing is the shrimp from the frozen sea. If you see its horns, even the iceberg can break when it gets angry."
"It's still thousands of miles away from its destination. It's not for it to go there, right?"
