Moreover, if there are no more men, he can recruit them again, but the six warships using alchemical power have been destroyed, and Blackbeard has no way to build the same warships. And without such warships, even if Blackbeard builds another
Even a team of men and horses could not return to their original state, which made him feel a little discouraged.
I heard that the Tower of Dusk was recruiting sailors. Although Blackbeard had been making a living at sea, he also knew that in the entire Breeze Plains, it seemed that the Tower of Dusk was the only one who dared not give the Kingdom of Jindo any face, so he brought Jack to report.
On the one hand, he believed that as long as he hid on the ship of the Tower of Twilight, he could avoid being hunted by the Jindu Kingdom. On the other hand, he also had a faint hope in his heart, hoping that one day he could use the Tower of Twilight's hand to replace him.
His dead brothers demanded blood debt from the Kingdom of Jindu.
However, Blackbeard did not expect that when he heard that the ship was named the Star, he just complained casually and was caught out by the young ship owner. Of course, it was also at this time that he knew that the young ship owner
This person is actually the owner of the Tower of Twilight, the legendary super strong man who has entered the realm of the Holy Realm.
After learning about Blackbeard Julio, Lin Li really didn't pay much attention to it. On the contrary, what Blackbeard said about the Star made him very interested. So after Julio drank the healing potion, his strength was already gone.
When he began to recover, Lin Li asked again: "Where did you know about the Star? Don't tell me any more myths and legends. I have never heard any legends about the Star here."
If you want to talk about myths and legends, they must have spread very widely. Not to mention being household names, at least there are not a few people who know about them. However, there are many people in this coastal area, but they have never heard of it. What legends about the Star are more
Most of them are about down-and-out sailors who go to sea and dig up treasures.
At this time, Julio had already felt that his injuries were recovering quickly, and it might not take long for his strength to return to the legendary level. After hearing Lin Li's question, he quickly suppressed the surprise in his heart and did
With a respectful look, he said: "To return to your lord, this legend about the Star is actually just a legend that has been passed down from generation to generation in our family. It is said that the ancestors of our family led this fleet to avoid the high elves.
The fleet encircled and suppressed him and fled into a very secret channel."
Hearing Julio's words, Lin Li couldn't help but think of a sentence, "Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix, and mice's children can make holes." Sure enough, what kind of seeds will produce what kind of seedlings. Julio's ancestor
, was able to attract the fleet of high elves to encircle and suppress him, so he was obviously a very good pirate back then.
"However, just when they were about to get rid of the high elves' fleet, they encountered a very huge warship. As a result, except for our ancestor, the entire fleet was instantly blown to pieces by the warship. Fortunately, later, the high elves
The elves' fleet caught up, and our ancestor was lucky enough to escape. Immediately afterwards, he saw a very shocking scene. The powerful high elves fleet should be vulnerable to that huge warship.
Attack, and that warship is the Star." Julio did not notice Lin Li's strange expression, but told the legend very calmly. He must have listened to the elders talking too much back then, so his tone did not fluctuate at all.
.
When Julio said this, Lin Li's expression became even weirder, because it reminded him of his experience in the world created by Gresco. At that time, in order to test the firepower of the Star, he took
A pirate fleet that collided with it became a target, and later also destroyed a high elf fleet.
Hearing what Julio said, Lin Li couldn't help but have a confused feeling in his head. Could it be that he was really sent thousands of years ago by Gresco and destroyed the pirate fleet of Julio's ancestor? Of course.
, Lin Li also knew that that was actually impossible. Not everyone can swim in the long river of time. It is said that only the Dragon of Time, one of the five guardian dragons, has such an ability. Apart from it,
Even gods don't have that kind of power.
Lin Li could only say that everything he encountered in that world should have been preset by Gresco. In fact, it was like watching a movie, but the difference was that he participated in the world of the movie.
But he is still just a bystander.
As for the legends Julio told, other than this, most of them are more cliche. They are nothing more than seeing the Star fighting some giant ocean beast, or something attacking a high elf warship, etc. These legends
, here on the coast, there are almost a lot of them, the only difference is that the protagonist has changed.
Putting aside the matter of the Star, Lin Li and Julio chatted for a while about navigation. It must be said that Julio was able to lead a pirate group on the endless sea for so many years, which is definitely not a fluke.
Good luck can only be good for a while. No one can be favored by the goddess of luck forever. What you can truly rely on is your own real ability.
Regarding navigation, Lin Li was still in theory, but Julio had been traversing the endless sea for so many years, and his navigation experience was all gained in the wind and waves of the sea. If you really want to talk about it, I'm afraid
Even the most famous navigator in the Kingdom of Jindu may not be able to compare with Julio.
Being able to obtain two experienced sailors, Julio and Jack, was a big gain for Lin Li. However, Lin Li could feel it, despite the fact that Julio and Jack had always been respectful towards him.
But I am afraid that I may not agree with myself as the captain in my heart. Because when they talk, they still only call themselves sir, but do not really call themselves the ship.
However, Lin Li didn't care much about this. As long as these two people worked under him honestly, it didn't matter what he wanted to call himself.
Soon, the preparations for the trial voyage of the Star were completed, and the sailors were familiar with the work they had to do under the guidance of the shipwrights. Although the Star sailed with alchemical power, the sailors were not required to do it.
Things like adjusting the sails, but sailors don't have nothing to do on the Star, and the work they do requires far more skill and experience than on other ships.
The trial voyage of the Star is not only to test the performance of the Star, but also to make these sailors familiar with the work on the Star. No matter how rich the experience of working on the Star is, these sailors may have more experience on the Star.
It has been greatly reduced, so they still need to relearn and practice many things.
Finally, when everything was ready, the Star, under the control of Lin Li, slowly drove out of the shipyard's dock. The ferocious sea steel behemoth appeared for the first time in Alterland's harbor. This huge ship
The giant steel beast is four to five times larger than the giant alchemy ship of Jindu Kingdom, and is like a steel fortress moving on the sea.
Everyone who saw it at the port was stunned. Those who were slightly closer to the Star only felt that a huge black shadow covered the sky above their heads. Fortunately, during the trial voyage, there were also people in the port.
Preparations have been made to leave enough space for the appearance of the Star. Otherwise, just the waves caused by the Star when sailing would be enough to cause a disaster in this port.
"Oh my god, is this the new warship built by the Tower of Dusk? This is too exaggerated!" Many people couldn't help but exclaimed loudly. Although people coming and going from the port knew that the Tower of Dusk was building a warship, but
No one could have imagined that the Tower of Dusk would actually build such a steel monster.
"Can this big guy really sail on the sea?" Some people also expressed doubts about the sailing ability of the Star. In this era, people's common understanding is that ships should be made of wood and heavy steel.
How can things float on the sea? Although the emergence of the alchemy battleships of the Kingdom of Jindu gradually let people know that ships made of steel can also sail on the sea, but such a huge battleship as the Star is still somewhat subversive
people's recognition
At the same time, some people noticed the weapons on the Star, and they were immediately frightened and screamed: "Look, what are those? Are they naval guns? One and two... If this is a salvo, I'm afraid one
The fleet will be blown to pieces in an instant."
The magic crystal naval guns on the Star were all purchased from the Kingdom of Jindu during this period. Although the Kingdom of Jindu procrastinated and made many excuses, two magic crystal naval guns in a month were worth a few months.
The accumulation is enough to arm the Star. In addition to the magic crystal naval cannon, the Star is also equipped with other weapons, such as the magic crystal cannon produced by the dwarves, and a speargun launcher as huge as a bed crossbow, etc.
.
As some people have said, if all the weapons on the Star were fired in one salvo, the power would probably be enough to destroy a coastal port city.
With such powerful firepower, let alone the naval fleets of Leding and France, even the fleet of the Kingdom of Jindu would not dare to attack the Star head-on.
And those can still be seen. There are many attack methods on the Star that people can't see, such as magic patterns, alchemy circles, etc. These attack methods are like sharp swords in a scabbard.
Once out of the sheath, they will become a nightmare for the enemy, and any enemy who ignores their existence will pay a heavy price.
The huge Star slowly left the port and headed towards the boundless sea, starting its first trial voyage. At the same time, spies from various forces in the port also gathered news of the Star built in the Tower of Twilight.
, passed it back to their respective forces as quickly as possible.
Although in today's Qingfeng Plain, almost no force dares to openly oppose the Tower of Dusk. However, various forces are still very concerned about some of the actions of the Tower of Dusk. Therefore, as early as the Tower of Dusk spreads
As soon as the news of the construction of warships came out, all the forces immediately sent spies to the Port of Alteran.
In fact, everyone is well aware of this fact, and the Twilight Tower also knows that there will definitely be spies from various forces to detect the news. However, the Star will eventually appear in people's sight, so the Twilight Tower
Ta didn't mind too much about other forces' inquiries.
After the Star left the harbor, it did not sail further. Instead, it began testing various performance of the warship in the waters near the port. For example, the warship's maximum speed, such as the warship's maneuverability at sea,
Of course, the highlight is the test of the battleship’s firepower system.
However, to test the firepower system, it is impossible to be near the Port of Alterland. Although Lin Li does not mind letting other forces know the firepower of the Star, he does not want to destroy the environment near the Port of Alterland for the sake of testing. To paraphrase
A popular saying before time travel was, "Even if it doesn't hit the children, it's not good if it hits the flowers and plants."
Just in the sea less than a hundred miles away from the port of Alterland, there is an area covered with reefs, which is called the Sea of Death in Alterland. It is said that in the dark ages, this sea area once sank a high elf fleet.
In addition, there are even legends about ghost ships. Of course, these things are not true. For ordinary people, if they are slightly dangerous, they will be infinitely exaggerated, and even involve a war between gods and demons.
above.
In line with the principle of no waste, Lin Li decided to test the firepower of the Star in this so-called Sea of Death. With the speed of the Star, it didn't take long after leaving the Port of Alterland to reach the Sea of Death.
Edge. This sea of death is indeed a little different. The sea water elsewhere is blue, but here it feels a bit dark, and it is a bit more eerie.
However, let alone Lin Li, a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse, even experienced sailors would not take this seriously. Under Lin Li's order, the magic crystal naval gun on the Star began to charge first.
, the muzzle of the gun pointed at a bare island in the middle of the Sea of Death.
Following an order, more than a dozen dazzling beams of light shot out from the muzzles of the magic crystal naval guns in an instant. Under the light of the magic crystal naval guns, even the sailors on the Star couldn't help but
They closed their eyes tightly, fearing that they would be blinded by the light. When they felt that the light disappeared, everyone carefully opened their eyes and looked in the direction of the target, but where was the island left on the sea?
There is just a huge whirlpool.
After the magic crystal naval gun, Lin Li tested other attack methods on the Star on this sea area one by one. When the firepower test was over, this so-called sea of death was still the same as before.
It’s as if the whole thing was wiped out of the sea out of thin air. [To be continued.
