"Then, please feel free to take a tour inside the ship." The first mate of the Petgot led the group of adventurers into the sand ship while introducing the various facilities in the sand ship to familiarize them with the conditions inside the ship.
During this process, Bedivere also carefully observed the environment inside the Pigot. He found that the internal structure of the Pigot was almost exactly the same as his Dawn--except for various corridors and rooms.
It's a lot brighter. Eve should follow the example of the Petersburg and illuminate all the dark corridors inside the Dawn. This way it at least doesn't need so many holographic beams to guide the way.
"You are adventurers who have come from all over the world. I know that some of you may not have found a place to stay in Cairo." Prince Said's butler followed the group of adventurers visiting the sand ship and said smoothly:
"Therefore, about thirty cabins have been vacated in the Petersburg for your accommodation. If necessary, please contact the first officer.
At this point, the explanation of this combat operation has been completed, and you can disperse. The hunt for Moby Dick will begin at 12 noon the day after tomorrow. Please arrive at the southwest port of Cairo in advance to gather. Thank you."
Is this the end? Bedivere was a little puzzled. He originally thought he could hear a more detailed explanation of the mission. Unexpectedly, the so-called combat was finished with just a few simple sentences, and even after entering the golden ship Petersburg
Inside, the key facilities in the ship are still not visible (such as the power furnace). The first mate only took the group of adventurers who participated in the crusade against Moby Dick to visit some insignificant daily life facilities. This ship and Bedi
What secrets does the desert ship, a golden ship that is almost identical to Weir's Dawn, hide? It really makes the werewolf young man feel itchy, but he has nowhere to vent it.
"When leaving, please use the teleportation beam on the bow. The beam will take you back to the ground." The first mate of the Petgot said again, leading the adventurers to the teleportation room.
Well, at least we know that the Petgod can also use teleportation beams. But that's not a big deal--after all, this kind of sand ship is a large transport ship left by the ancient gods and humans, and teleportation beams are standard.
One, it is a device specially designed to carry people and cargo.
"Then------" Bedivere wanted to follow, but when he was walking at the end, someone suddenly grabbed his shoulder.
"Can you lend me a moment to speak, young man?" The person who held the werewolf young man was none other than the captain of the Petgot, Captain Ark.
"I think it would be better for us to meet during the battle in two days' time." The werewolf youth refused. He didn't really want to stay alone on the Peacock at this time. He had a bad feeling. No.
, maybe it’s not a bad premonition, it’s just that I feel ashamed. As the same “captain”, this Captain Yake is very dignified, mature and dignified, giving people a very stable and reliable feeling. And here is the “Captain Bedivere”
"But he is just a young man who is not familiar with the world. If he compares with the other party, he will definitely be ashamed. So Bedivere is still reluctant to have more contact with Captain Yak. He does not want the other party to know that he is from the Dawn.
The identity of the captain.
"Don't be wary of me, I just want to chat. ------Is Eve okay?" Captain Yak suddenly said Eve's name.
Bedivere's whole body trembled, and he was finally willing to stop his planned departure.
"You really know Eve?" The werewolf young man lowered his voice and asked, "How did you know?"
This question doesn't even need to be asked. Bedivere wears a communication device turned into a golden scarab golem from the Dawn on his ear, and this thing seems to have recognized its old owner, and he happily
It transformed from the earrings back into the form of a scarab, flew from Bedivere's ears, and wandered in front of Captain Yak.
"Okay, okay. What a good boy." Captain Yak also teased the scarab golem a few times familiarly, as if praising his own puppy. All this shows that the identity of Captain Yak is not simple.
In addition, the Petersburg now owned by Captain Yak is exactly the same as Bedivere's Desert Ship Dawn.
maybe------
"Are you... the captain of the missing ship?" Bedivere asked in a low voice. That could even be said to be an extremely bold assumption. He didn't even know he was there when he asked.
Where did he get the confidence to make such a wild guess? But his intuition told the werewolf young man that although his guess was not correct, it was not far off!
"Well, God knows." Captain Yake showed an unpredictable poker face and continued: "Please get along well with Eve in the future, Captain Bedivere."
The werewolf youth frowned and asked one after another: "What's going on with this ship? The only golden ship called the Desert Ship should be my Dawn. This is the same model of transport ship left by the ancient gods and humans.
? Or is it just an imitation?"
"Imitation." Captain Yak replied truthfully: "Although it uses almost the same technology, its function is not much worse than your ship."
"Where did you get it?" Bedivere asked: "Why did you appear at this time? As soon as you appeared, you said you were going to fight against Moby Dick? What's the problem between you and Moby Dick? What's the matter with you?"
How did you meet Prince Said? Are you so eager to defeat Moby Dick? Do you have any ulterior motives?"
"When the time is right, you will naturally know." Captain Yake continued without emotion. Half of his face was hidden in the shadow of the captain's hat, making his thoughts even more unpredictable: "But in the future
Before that, please listen to my advice and don’t get on those destroyers."
"What?"
"Although the most advanced optical camouflage technology has been used to confuse Moby Dick, after all, it is a war of that level. Using destroyers to severely damage Moby Dick will inevitably cause casualties. And, according to my speculation, there will definitely be casualties.
"It's very tragic." Captain Yak hummed: "You are such an important person, you can't be hit by Moby Dick's crimson wave and be shot to death on the destroyer without any resistance."
The werewolf youth's face darkened. Captain Yak revealed what he had been most worried about. Of course, Bedivere felt unhappy.
"So what do you mean...?"
"Bring your ship over and join the battle. Participate in the second stage of hunting with my Birgot, in order to give the monster a fatal blow." Captain Yak advised: "If I tell the whole story
Tell Prince Said, he will be happy to accept my plan."
"Are you planning to let me take the Dawn aboard?" Bediwell was a little unhappy: "This battle is not that easy to end, right? Maybe the team hunting Moby Dick will be completely wiped out, not only
If it was your ship that sank, would it also affect my ship?"
"I will never let that happen, you can rest assured." Captain Yake said: "Unlike your ship, the Piggott has been fully armed for war. You only need to prepare to launch another
Just use a giant harpoon and severely damage Moby-Dick together with the Birgod. The rest can be left to us."
"Why?"
"The [Red Moon Steel Harpoon] used to severely damage Moby Dick cannot be fired continuously. Once a shot is missed, it will take a long time to reload and shoot. And a cunning guy like Moby Dick will not give us a second shot.
Chances are, it can even be said that we can only shoot one harpoon. Once we miss, the plan will be completely ruined." Captain Yak analyzed without emotion: "So, one more ship can launch a harpoon to checkmate Moby Dick.
The success rate of the ship will be doubled. It’s just such a simple thing."
"My ship is not equipped with weapons, let alone a system for launching harpoons. What can I do?"
"This is quite simple. The giant harpoon is launched using [that], and there is no need to equip an additional launching system."
"[that]?"
"Transmission beam."
So that's it. Is that really the case? If you use the sand ship's teleportation beam, you can indeed launch the giant harpoon like a cannonball, and you can also accurately position it so that the harpoon lands where you want it to.
It's just that sending an object with such a huge mass like a harpoon like a cannonball requires a huge amount of energy. This is probably one of the reasons why harpoons cannot shoot continuously as Captain Yak just said.
Moreover, the number of specially made red moon steel harpoons is rare, and once they are missed, it is very difficult to recover or replenish them. After all, the system for transmitting the beam is not a regular turret at all, and it is not equipped with an automatic loading mechanism.
Bedivere frowned again: "There are still too many uncertainties. I will think about it, but I can't guarantee that I will agree to it. So, I'll say goodbye."
Captain Yak nodded and said nothing.
Whoosh ------
Surrounded by a golden light and passing through a special underground tunnel at extremely fast speeds, Bediwell unknowingly arrived at the outskirts of Cairo's black market.
"Oh, the boss is here." Unexpectedly, Lawrence the Great was already waiting for him not far away, and next to that guy was his younger brother Lawrence, the strategist Eric.
"What the hell kind of job did you introduce to me?" Bedivere showed an angry face when he saw Lawrence: "It started as a suicide mission to hunt Moby Dick? Do you want to kill me??"
"Boss, didn't you say you were in a hurry to use money? That's it." Lawrence grinned shamelessly and said, "And I told you before this mission started that this mission is quite dangerous.
If it’s high, it’s very likely that I’ll lose my life. So I didn’t participate at all, hehehe~”
Bedivere rolled his eyes at Lawrence.
Eric, the strategist beside him, also secretly glanced at Bedivere.
"Anyway, let's go back first." Eric suddenly interrupted: "The mission is in two days. And it is to hunt Moby Dick. It is an epic hunt that can be passed down for a while. I advise you to be prepared and go."
There is no plan to return, so let’s finish what needs to be done first. Then, see you in two days.”
"You say it as if I will definitely die." The werewolf young man pouted.
But Bedivere couldn't help but care about Captain Kiak's suggestion. Indeed, if you follow other adventurers on a destroyer, the chance of being wiped out by a single shot from both men and the ship is not low, and dying like this is a very unfair death.
There is no chance to show off his talents. It is better to accept Yak's proposal and attack with Bedivere's sand ship Dawn. Even if the Dawn was sunk, Captain Bedivere died with dignity at least.
on board.
Maybe by doing this, he can get a bigger bonus from Prince Said. In the end, what he wants is just the bonus. Regardless of the means, just look at the results.
"Speaking of which, where's the Musketeer Nat?" Bedivere looked around, but couldn't see Nat's figure, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Who?" Lawrence obviously didn't know the Nat that Bedivere was talking about.
"That's that gloomy guy with a metal frame, like a robot." Bedivere shrugged: "Isn't this the destination set by the teleportation beam? The other adventurers who participated in the crusade against Moby Dick were all sent away
Did you come here? Then that guy must have passed by here before, right?"
"I seem to have seen such a person passing by, but I didn't know him, so I didn't pay much attention to his whereabouts." Big Lawrence also shrugged and said, "Boss, do you have anything to do with that person?"
"No... let's forget it." Bedivere hummed. (To be continued)
