Chapter 29 Return and daily routine
Then, under the command of Chief Mate Perry, the sailors performed their respective duties and began to clean the battlefield.
The damage to the Silver Wing after being attacked by the sea monster was not serious. After a simple repair, the body of the impacted conch was dragged behind the ship with a net bag and resumed normal sailing.
The sea monster is an extraordinary material by nature, and no one can easily give it up when conditions permit. Fortunately, it is in the near sea. If it is caught in the distant sea, only a part of the core material can be harvested, and the value is far from comparable to a whole body.
Although the loss of the “Silver Wing” is not small, the corpse of this sea monster alone is worth the fare, whether it is to pay the pensions of the deceased or the awards of the survivors, it is more than enough .
With such a big guy, it was difficult for the rest of the cruise to continue, and the existence of the sea monster was inconvenient to be exposed in front of the ordinary person, so Geer simply ordered to return directly.
crash-bang
As the sea monster dies, the fog on the sea gradually dissipates. The Silver Wing made a graceful arc across the sea, turned to another fast route with fewer shipping vessels, and returned at full speed.
On deck.
“Let’s go, Warrant Officer Alwin, let’s take a rest first. During lunch, we’ll let you taste the specialties of our ship, but the delicacies that are rarely seen.” First Officer Perry patted Alwin on the shoulder. , said mysteriously and secretively.
Comrades fighting side by side and Captain Geer’s obviously different attitude, the first mate, who has always been known for his sternness and inhumanity, became uncharacteristically friendly towards Alwin.
“Really? Looking forward to it!” There is an opportunity to better integrate into the group, and Alwin will naturally not miss it.
Sure enough.
At the subsequent celebration banquet for the victory of the war, in addition to the high-quality ingredients originally reserved on the ship and the fresh fish caught on the spot, the chef also gave each table a mysterious dinner plate covered with a hood.
This is the specialty food that is rarely seen in other places in the mouth of the first officer.
Alwin curiously opened the metal hood in front of him.
A large piece of white tender meat is soaked in the juice of ginger yellow, accompanied by a few slices of green vegetables, and the strange aroma spreads out, which makes people feel thirsty and appetite.
It turned out to be a “sea monster dinner” made of sea monster tentacles. It not only tasted delicious and tasted crunchy, but also had a mysterious effect that could slightly enhance the physique.
The old crew members are nothing. They used to be able to enjoy once or twice a year on a Level 4 ship. The first time I saw Alwin and Gary gorge oneself.
Feel the subtle heat rushing through your body.
Alwin even imagined that if he could eat this kind of meat every day, he should be able to reach the limit of mortals soon, right?
On second thought, this is impossible. The sea monster is the ruler of the sea, and it is also the top predator. It is understandable to accidentally encounter a desperate fight, but if it is dedicated to chasing and hunting, it really feels that its life is too long.
However, if you only eat one or two meals, the sea monster meat is not more effective than the corresponding auxiliary medicine. It is better than nothing, and it can only satisfy the taste buds.
Even so, Alwin solved his own share as quickly as possible, leaving no residue.
Sitting at the wine table reserved for the officers, while they were all drunk, they were in high spirits and started chatting.
Alwin was curious about the old officers’ past experiences in the deep sea.
Alwin’s performance today is in everyone’s eyes. He cut off the three tentacles of the sea monster by himself, saving at least a dozen crew members. Whether or not they have a special relationship with the captain, they have already been recognized by most of them.
“If you ask me, ask the right person. I was the first person to follow the captain on the sea.” Sailor Treus had drunk a lot, and his drunk eyes were already a little blurry.
“Youngster, you have to remember that there are many giant beasts in the sea, but not all of them hate humans.
The coexistence of carapace and tentacles is what The characteristics of the sea monsters under the command of the mother of sea monsters, they hate humans is an instinct, there is no way to change, but there are still many other kinds of wild sea monsters.
For these wild sea monsters , Human beings are no different from other creatures, and if they have the means, they can even be tamed like hounds.”
Speaking of this, Trius cut a large piece of raw white sea monster meat Filled with soup and stuffed into mouth, took a gulp of rum fiercely and burped.
“Also, the brave navigator, Your Excellency, tells you from his experience that the powerful sea monsters have one thing in common, that is, they are all delicious!” , Captain Chris teased him.
A table of people instantly laughed heartily up.
“It’s still a good day when we drive a Level 4 battleship in the open sea. This small type of sea monster can be sent into the seabed with only one salvo. Where else does the captain need to shoot himself?”
The gunner took a sip of amber rum and felt a little emotional.
“If you want me to say, when we can take and enslave a large wild sea monster, then our life can be tsk tsk tsk” The steering officer also came to join in the fun, it seems that the boat has already sailed enough , I thought about the addiction of a sea monster Knight.
“Dream you! Don’t need anything else, it’s enough to compete for a quasi-Legendary battleship with such a large sea monster!”
A group of people were booing and laughing at the steering officer unrealistic.
Different from small species such as Shock Conch, which can be killed by a single person with a special javelin, each large species of sea monster has the ability to destroy a battleship on its own (if there is no powerful transcender on board Down).
Even several decades ago, the overlord of the Sea Power Kingdom, Cyrus Kingdom, once sent the ultimate weapon, the battleship, into the sea for the first time, saying: “In this world, what can resist the battleship. There is only another battleship and a large sea monster!”
The large sea monster is the kind of terrifying monster whose body length is at least longer than a Level 1 battleship. With the power of this monster, combined with the human’s Command, the battle strength exerted can no longer be simply described as one plus one is greater than two.
Although it can’t reach the level of the ultimate weapon “Legendary battleship” used by the sea power countries to suppress the country, but beyond the Level 1 battleship, there is no problem in reaching the level of quasi-Legendary.
This means that the combination of humans and large sea monsters is enough to crush more than 90% of the human ships on the sea, which is so terrifying
Alwin did not Interjected, while stuffing oneself with food all kinds of food, struggling to satisfy the more exaggerated appetite because of Knight Cultivation, while listening to the conversation of the officers.
In addition to some common sense related to sea monsters, I gradually gained a certain understanding of the strength of the officers on board.
The power of individuals on the sea is small, but it does not include other transcenders of the Peak Level. Even as far as the inaugural regulations of the Kingdom of Phalatis are concerned, every battleship captain must at least Should be an extraordinary Knight!
This is also the final martial power guarantee for the battleship to overcome the harsh natural environment and the deep sea monster.
The extraordinary captain is matched with a number of apprentice Knights (corresponding to captain officers) and a large number of ordinary sailors. With the help of the ship-borne artillery and various weapons on the battleship, the overall battle strength of a battleship is formed. .
The officers here are no exception, they are all qualified for Cultivation’s truly extraordinary sword technique “Blade Technique”, but either because of age or because of aptitude or because of ambition , There are very few people who can really surpass the ordinary person and reach a certain level.
After all, they are still in the captain’s position at their age. Most of them have reached the peak of their careers and have long given up their extraordinary path, often pinning their hopes on the next generation. .
Among them, Geer Uncle as the captain is a well-deserved martial power, the powerful existence of the official peak of Knight. Moreover, there are regulations in the Navy Department. If military officers want to be promoted to school-level officers, they must have the official rank of Knight, except for civilians.
First mate Perry is one. Although he has not yet reached the official Knight rank, his level should not be too low. The other is captain Chris, who leads the storm and is the main force in the jump. Alwin feels that his physical quality is stronger than Gary but should not be as good as himself.
But in terms of development potential, both of them are already too far apart.
First Officer Perry is over thirty years old, and his physical fitness is mostly built up over time. There is almost no possibility to advance to a formal Knight.
Bosun Chris is in slightly better shape, but if you don’t try to break through within two years, you may never get another chance.
This kind of aptitude is far inferior to Gary, not to mention Alwin.
Theoretically, as a member of a former Level 4 battleship, the ability of a captain officer is not so much.
From their chat, Alwin unexpectedly learned that there was actually another Knight-class on the Level 4 ship, and this was the confidence of the Level 4 ship’s crew. It’s just that everyone kept a close eye on this former colleague, and they didn’t know whether it was sacrificed or transferred.
After a brief conversation, Alwin pondered for a moment, but Alwin didn’t ask any further questions.
“Come on, go on Hah!”
“Warrant Officer Alwin, welcome to our Silver Wing.”
“As Warrant Officer Alwin, the future is The new martial power aboard the Silver Wing.”
A celebratory feast allowed Alwin to fully integrate into the new group.
The speed of return is much faster than when patrolling, but the destination of the Silver Wing is not Gabred’s naval port, but a hidden island outside the port that is not on the normal route.
After handing over the body of the conch with the navy stationed on the island, the officers and crew of the Silver Wing were credited with a huge sum of merit and bonuses. From now on this is the certificate for promotion of ranks, exchange of training methods and various Cultivation resources.
With Alwin’s outstanding performance, his share is naturally indispensable.
Alwin reckons that as long as he does this again, he will be able to reach the standard of becoming a regular without having to wait for a long time, and become the same captain as the captain and the first mate.
Back in port and reporting the sea monster incident, the Silver Wing received an extra bonus, and the crew got three days off a week after their last docking.
After a thrilling battle of sea monsters, the crew can’t wait to relax in bustling Gabride.
Alwin frowned a little, because Geer Uncle was called away by the Third Fleet Command alone. He felt that the matter of the sea monster breaking into the offshore sea to attack the merchant ship was not so simple, and there might be a secret behind it.
But now it’s not his turn to worry about these things, but another little thing is imminent.
Only those who have drifted on the sea for a long time can appreciate the beauty of stepping on the ground, don’t worry about being overturned by the bed board when sleeping, don’t worry about the ink bottle falling over at any time, don’t worry
Maybe I will get used to this kind of sea life in the future, but obviously the thick land is more attractive now. It would be even better if there is a large salad with various seasonal fruits and vegetables to satisfy my vegetable-craving stomach. .
Alwin felt compelled to sort out his ashore lodging, given that he would be in Gabride for a long time. Can’t you sleep in a hotel every time you dock?
Renting a house, which could be her place to live on shore for a long time to come, became Alwin’s primary goal.
Called Gary together, and after the two got off the Silver Wing, they hung out in Gabride. Only at this time did he realize that he had been in Gabred for several months, and he had never had the opportunity to visit the city.
“Come and see, the special fruit brought back from Southern Continent!”
“Look how this fine floral fabric suits you, beautiful girl! “
“I’ve sold glass mirrors. I’m selling a silver bull glass mirror in the capital. I only sell 90 copper fuls, only 90 pieces!”
As expected A well-known commercial and trade distribution center, whether it is a civilized world or a distant colony, as long as you can imagine the goods can be bought here.
In addition to bulk trade, large and small markets are also prosperous because of the abundant traffic. Although fruits, vegetables, accessories, clothing, etc. have the common shortcomings of this era, they are slightly messy, but they are full of life.
Relaxed and joyful for guys who are used to seeing the monotonous scenery of the sea.
“Gary, what kind of house do you think we should be looking for?”
“Hmmm cheap?”
“cough cough cough”Alwin Speechless, I knew that this guy had no reliable advice.
“The rent is not a problem, just leave it to me.” Alwin also understands the situation in Gary’s family. There are many brothers and sisters. He probably wants to save his salary and send it home to support the family.
Alwin himself is not short of money now. He still has the spills of war for capturing the Blood Anchor and the two thousand gold tickets for handling the ship in his pocket.
Two thousand gold tickets are already considered a huge sum of money wherever they are placed.
With the development of commerce and trade, housing agencies are naturally indispensable. After finding an agency that seemed to be pleasing to the eye, the two started a half-day tour of Gabride with a young clerk.
The black-hearted businessmen of the foreign world have not yet extended their claws to the real estate field, and there is no real estate speculation. Even in a relatively prosperous seaport city like Gabride, the housing prices are not very expensive. Renting is naturally cheaper.
It doesn’t matter if the location is good or bad, because you spend most of your time on the boat and don’t have to think about your commute every morning.
From high-end apartments in prosperous areas, to luxury villas in the suburbs, and ordinary houses in civilian areas, I finally turned around half of the city, and I visited almost all of Gabride. place to find a satisfactory place.
“Yes, that’s it!”
