Chapter 673 The Earl's Recruitment
Eating the sea by the sea is not realistic for the island nation of the endless sea.
There is a certain quality in the sea water, which has a strong erosive force. It can't last for a few minutes even if the super-level submerged in the water. Only the local sea monsters can survive.
The sea monsters are huge, but most of them cannot be eaten. However, with the successive attempts of countless ancestors, the Blue Water Principality has discovered several sea monsters that are not only edible, but also extremely delicious, and are deeply loved by the upper-class nobles.
"A king-level sea bream, taking its essence, can at least be sold... sold... can be exchanged for a baron title!"
As the shady people of the big foodie empire, although the crew of the initial ship has only sailed at sea for more than a month, the excavation of the sea monster ingredients has been quite in-depth.
There is nothing to do at sea, except for mahjong, landlords, three kingdoms, etc., and so on, there is only fighting sea monsters.
For each new type of sea monster, a special person uses "detection crystals" to detect its attributes, including but not limited to edibleness, and record it in the new species illustration - sea monster illustration, and some also come with cooking method.
I don't know when it started, but one of the attributes analyzed by "Detection Crystal" must be related to "food".
A third-level edible sea monster, everyone on board is very greedy, such a large head can eat at least two ... a day and a half.
Then they saw a few smaller ships parked a few hundred meters away, and the sound of babbling came from afar.
"What are they talking about?"
"It seems to say...they are the sea monsters? Want us to return it?"
Some of the "Language Proficient" passed the 4th or 6th grade...that is, the crew members who knew the spiritual translation, explained to the other awakened crew members.
Lorraine and others communicated without barriers, and parsed each other's language right away.
She made a gesture, and a sailor raised a black and white flag with two crossed machetes and painted skulls.
"Well, we're pirates now!"
Art is the language that circulates in all worlds. Although the people on the opposite ship don't know the famous pirate flag, but... the flag with the skull and crossbones painted on it, no matter how you look at it, it is not very beautiful.
Lorraine, who was wearing corset leather pants, jumped up from the bow of the boat and couldn't control the sky, but her toes touched the air, and a wave of air exploded. She clicked several times and landed on the opponent's flagship.
With her fingers on the holstered revolver, she lifted it up...
"boom--"
A yellow-orange bullet spun out and hit the main mast of the flagship. In an instant, the rune pattern on the main mast was about to emerge, but it was completely penetrated before it was fully activated.
With a bang, the defensive rune shattered, and the orange-yellow bullets penetrated the flagship's main mast, clack, creak... The huge hardwood main pole broke and smashed into the sea, causing the ship to shake violently.
"Submit, or die."
Lorraine made a domineering statement.
On the flagship, the captain and the first and second mates looked at each other... What was she talking about?
However, they still knelt down at the first time from their hearts. They know how hard the main mast of the flagship is, and it is difficult to destroy even the third-level sea monster.
At this moment,
Others were already approaching fast in small boats, taking control of the remaining armed fishing boats.
Bamboo Squirrel came to the front of several people who were obviously the leader, his eyes lit up, and the illusion technique invaded the minds of several people.
"Tell me why...cough, the origin."
"We belong to the Blue Water Principality, the fishing fleet of the Earl of Purple Agate... The Earl of Purple Agate is a powerful noble... The Blue Water Principality is currently at war with the Principality of Nucang to the west..."
The Blue Water Principality is an archipelago country, with a total of thirteen large islands and a number of small islands.
The Earl of Purple Agate was a powerful noble of the Blue Water Principality. He was one of the heroes who followed the Blue Water Principality.
"Now... do we get a chart from the Blue Water Principality? The Grand Duke of Blue Water should have a lot of information on the nearby waters, and with the strength shown by the Blue Water Principality, it is not difficult to get a chart."
Xie Yi spit out a cloud of smoke, "I don't think there's any need to hurry, finding the crystals of the Youhai Sea is not a task that can be completed in a short period of time. In contrast, we have all been sailing at sea for more than a month, and I'm drifting while walking. The top priority is to rely on Shore break and sample local food and wine.”
These words came to Lorraine's heart, she nodded in agreement, resting her chin in her hand, thinking seriously:
"Also, we must go through many places in the process of looking for the crystals of the Youhai Sea. Isn't it too wasteful to just look for the sea map? We can also make some extra money, just as the Blue Water Principality is at war, and in my space ring, It happened to be filled with a ring of war supplies."
"If it's out of stock, why don't the lord come over and open a teleportation array?" Bamboo Squirrel looked up at Lorraine, not quite understanding.
"Trade with the goods I bring, it's called extra money, and when the lord sends the teleportation array, that's the income of the territory, understand? That's why I can open bars all over the Shady City and all the sub-territories, and you The reason why you still owe me the wine money."
"How can I... how can I owe money for the wine I drank on my own merits..."
Based on the two factors of "no fight, no acquaintance" and "physical persuasion", the captain of the fishing fleet introduced Earl of Purple Agate to Lorraine and others.
Yes, a very conscientious captain of fishing boats, who is also a noble in the Principality of Blue Water, and can still directly meet the 'big man' of the Earl of Purple Agate.
This is not surprising,
In the endless sea, ships are strategic weapons, and fishing boats catch sea monsters. Even the smallest sea monsters are enough to overturn an ordinary ship 20 to 30 meters long.
The initial number docked at a certain port on Purple Agate Island, with the endorsement of the captain of the fishing boat, and the identity issue was not a big problem.
There are not many ships docked at the port, but each of them is at least fifty meters in length. Without small ships, it is impossible to survive in the endless sea.
"Come with me, Lord Count just returned from the Grand Duke's expedition not long ago."
The area of Purple Agate Island is not small. There is a main city and eighteen ordinary cities on it. The Earl's Castle is located next to the main city.
When they arrived at the Earl's Castle, it was already evening.
Lorraine, Bamboo Squirrel, Shay, and a few crew members followed the captain of the fishing boat all the way. For those native seamen and seamen, the castle of Earl Purple Agate is luxurious, and it also reveals a kind of historical vicissitudes. sense.
While leading the way, the captain of the fishing boat proudly introduced the history of the Purple Onyx family. When passing through a garden,
Whoosh whoosh—
Figures appeared on the wall of the courtyard, holding rune bows and crossbows, and pointed at Lorraine and the others with a flickering cold light.
When the road was blocked, a large number of soldiers in armor came from behind.
front,
A middle-aged man wearing a luxurious robe slowly stepped forward under the guard of dozens of powerful breaths.
His chin was slightly raised, the corners of his mouth were slightly complacent, and his eyes fell on Lorraine and the others.
"I heard you want to see me?"
He believed that he had mastered the situation and guessed the opponent's purpose. A bit of contempt flashed in his eyes, but he quickly converged:
"Even if there is a bit of force, pirates are just pirates, and they cannot stand on the stage. Of course, this earl is a person who loves talents. As long as you follow me to the Principality of Nucang and make military exploits, in the future, you can also obtain titles and become one. Noble nobles...isn't this exactly what you want?"
It's just that the dominance is now in my hands.
He thought, with a smile on his face, holding his chin slightly, waiting for Lorraine to answer.
Lorraine: You...do you seem stupid?
