Chapter 362: The new life of a pirate ship
Because the pirate ship "Lone Wolf" had already gained some fame, Panda and the others did not set off immediately, but stayed on the island where Captain Kidd hid treasures and refitted the ship.
Pirate ships pay attention to speed and domineering, especially the latter. If the merchant ships that are robbed can be seen and scared, then more than half of the success will be achieved. Maybe they will surrender without fighting, and will take the initiative to pay the toll.
Therefore, pirate ships in the South China Sea often like to make some special decorations on the ships, so that others can recognize them at a glance.
For example, the "Redbeard" of the pirate king Barbarossa, the most obvious feature is that the bow has a red painting, which looks like the captain has a red beard - some people mistakenly think that Barbarossa is a redhead A burly man with a red beard, he doesn't know that he has black hair and black beard, and even his appearance is very friendly, with a small nose and small eyes, medium height and a little fat, like a businessman that can be seen everywhere.
Oh, he was originally a businessman, but he was tricked by his enemies, so he changed his job to a pirate.
The Lone Wolf also has its own characteristics, which are characterized by a head statue carved in the shape of a wolf's head on the bow, and a white skull painting below the bow statue.
In the past years, Captain Farr led this ship, robbed many merchant ships, and committed many crimes. Captain Farr, first mate Tom, sailor Benn, and ship mage Ron, all four of them are on arrest warrants. Although the captain and first mate are dead, the bosun and the ship's mage have also left. It can be said that the core members of this criminal gang are gone, but the ship is still there. If it is recognized, it will be a lot of trouble.
So Panda and the others spent two days to change the head of the ship. Don Quixote has carving skills, and he carved a dolphin by himself to use it as the head of the ship.
Dolphins are one of the favorite mascots of navigators. It is said that they never attack people in the water, but more than once rescue the drowning. Using a dolphin as the head of the boat means praying for peace and luck, but also means that there is no ambition, as long as it is safe and sound.
This kind of ship head image is very popular in the South China Sea, and many small and medium-sized merchants use it as a ship head image. On average, one or two out of ten boats will have dolphin statues of various styles on the bow.
Don Quixote's carving skills are not low, and the carved dolphin is lifelike. Moreover, he also used the enchanting skill to enchant the dolphin image - naturally it will not be as powerful as Eric (Sleepless) or Ilo (Army), but the effect is not bad. After identification, it can reduce the damage to the ship. Various damages are about fifteen percent.
The effect of this head portrait is not bad even in the game, at least in the so-called "Great Voyage Age" stage, it is a very valuable thing. Where have the crew of the Lone Wolf ever seen such high-end goods, looking at the statue of the bow that was placed on the bow, shining with magic light, their eyes could not wait to glow.
With this head of the ship, and then removing the previous paints full of villains with magic and replacing them with green, the Lone Wolf immediately changed completely. Not to mention outsiders, even if the dead ghost Captain Farr is resurrected, I am afraid that he will not recognize it.
The magic head portrait is not a random replacement. Generally speaking, this kind of thing can only have the greatest effect when it is installed for the first time. After that, even if it is removed and replaced on another ship, the effect will be greatly reduced, or even completely lost. Effectiveness - In the game, this situation is called "equipment binding".
A ship with a magical head of a dolphin is of course not a pirate ship - a famous pirate ship in the South China Sea, there is not even a ship with this head. For pirates, dolphins are not a good thing, they pursue ferocity. Mighty, not safe and stable.
Now that they have decided to wash their hands in a golden basin, the crew of the Lone Wolf has no nostalgia for the ship, and everyone has come up with ideas to change the appearance of the ship. Two days later, the new Lone Wolf has become completely different from the previous one. Even if someone gets on the ship and takes a closer look, they will only think that it is a passenger-cargo clipper like the Harp Mermaid.
Such boats are still very popular in the South China Sea. Some businessmen who run short and medium distances like it very much - for businessmen, "fast" is a huge advantage. If the ship is fast, you can grab business opportunities and easily avoid the pursuit of pirates. It is believed that this reborn former pirate ship will surely shine in the hands of the new captain.
A few days later, the ship was sold at Flying Fish Harbor for 16,000 gold coins by a merchant named Kamo who believed in the **** of luck. He is very satisfied with this price - to be able to buy a clipper with a magic head statue at this price is really a big leak. Even if you do a resale business, there will be at least a profit of three or four thousand gold coins. .
Of course, he will not sell the Clipper, which he named "Lucky Dolphin". Instead, when the ship was delivered, he excitedly vowed to use the ship to make a fortune and become the founder of a new chamber of commerce.
This is not a casual remark, because when he said this, besides Panda and Ge Li, there was also Mr. Giacomo Chiesa, the new chief archbishop of the Church of God of Luck, standing in front of him.
If it wasn't for Giacomo as the intermediary, Panda and the others would have wanted to sell the ship more expensive-Bosun Benn believes that if the ship finds a suitable buyer, it should be able to sell for 20,000 gold coins or even more many.
20,000 and 16,000 are very different. But for the pandas, Giacomo's face is far more than the price. If you can ask him to come forward to help counter the price, let alone four thousand gold coins, it will be fine even if you give it away for nothing.
The future Pope of the Church of God of Luck, the legendary powerhouse of Megatron Hainan, has few chances to make him owe favor!
... Of course, this is also because people who travel through people generally don't care about money. At the beginning, gold coins in their warehouses were calculated in tens of millions. In the era before they crossed, when players traded between players, gold coins have long been used. When the general equivalent, use something like "lucky gems" instead.
Thousands of gold coins or something, they really don't have much actual feeling.
Camo and Giacomo are both old rivers and lakes, and they naturally see their attitude that they don't care about money. Giacomo didn't find it strange, the powerful paladin and the navigator who drove a strange clipper to explore, these two kinds of people are obviously handsome people who "money is like dung to me", and it is a bit vulgar to talk to them about money. . Kamo is different. He usually comes into contact with businessmen who pay attention to each other. When he suddenly sees two big men who don't take money seriously, he is immediately shocked by their tyrannical spirit. Ge Li didn't shake his body, he still had a five-body throw in his heart without hesitation, and quickly and without hesitation, he put his knees on the ground, promising to ask him for help in the future, he would definitely go all out without saying a word, Never give up.
Panda and Ge Li didn't care about the promise of this mere green template guy. Everyone laughed and delivered the ship. Panda took the group of ex-pirates who had changed careers and left the Southern Islands on the Flying Ship. Port Gironde, a port in the south of the kingdom, went ashore, bought some goods that were needed in Tarakhan, and pretended to be a caravan, all the way north.
