Chapter 997 A very normal development
The Seven Aurora follows the Jackdaw and Sagittarius from afar and sailing calmly on the sea of Chenhai. Jackdaw and Sagittarius are medium-sized sailboats with soft sails on the brig. They are the most classic cruiser of the Holy Auckland Empire Navy. So far, this type of ship, and various subsequent remodels, has been in service on the Chenhai for nearly fifty years. Its characteristics are extremely fast and flexible steering, which is the most suitable for sea adventure, platoon and guerrilla ships. Of course, they are also the most suitable for pirate ships.
Of course, since it is the car of two pirates who are well-known in the world sailing center of Chenhai, the Jackdaw and the Sagittarius have actually been transformed by these lawless pirates.
For example, Captain Rolandihu's Jackdaw is equipped with a magic weapon, of course, not as high-end as the Magic Crystal Cannon, but a cold air meter. Once activated, it can create a large piece of frost and cold air like the arrival of winter. Similarly, if all its magic energy is clustered to attack, it can also release a frost magic bullet. This thing should have been smuggled many years ago. In fact, this kind of magic weapon, which is of a too single type, has now been discontinued from production in the federal land.
In addition, there is a group of sea salamanders on the Sagittarius of the Breaking Monk Uruki. This is a phantom animal that lives on the bottom of the continental shelf. It does not have much strength and is not very intelligent. The only advantage is that this marine amphibian can secrete a viscous substance, which will quickly solidify when it is stuck on the wood. The wood wrapped with these solid secretions will become as solid as iron, and will not be afraid of the soaking and corrosion of sea water, and can tolerate extreme changes in cold and heat.
Not only the "barons" and "breaking monks" themselves are masters of the golden position, but they are enough to be rampant in the sea with their modified cars. However, such a famous pirate with such a famous ship can only be honest and domineering before the Seven Stars Aurora, and they dare not even have a half-departure. They have completely become like a ponytailer who pioneers the way to explore the road and beats the gongs and drums and dust cleans the streets.
Of course, considering what happened a day ago, it is not surprising that these two famous pirate captains made such a judgment. You must know that these two famous pirate ships were bombarded on the spot within three minutes. The reason why they can barely sail normally on the sea is because Lu Xi showed his compassion and used the magic of change to help them repair it briefly.
"Don't think about running away! As long as you see a little sign of deviating from the channel, I will fire without hesitation." Lu Xi said to the two captains with a smile.
The two famous pirates said that the smile of the cruel and ruthless magician "Miss" is indeed very charming, which makes their knowledgeable "sea men" beat faster for several seconds, but they also do not doubt: if they had any rashness, the other party would definitely send themselves and their friends to the sea to feed the fish, which would be proven from half of the dead friends.
Of course, considering the communication issues, Qifeng divided the attachment of Fengyun Knights under his command into two groups, including the Great Sword Sister Signo, the Big Dog Group, the Warhammer Lolivita and the Priest Shamal, each brought five sailors to the other party's ship. We all know that Fengyun Knights are an alchemy creature, and to put it bluntly, they are also an attachment of the Book of Ye Tian. As long as the Book of Ye Tian is not destroyed, their souls will be immortal, and they can also have 24-hour barrier-free communication and dialogue with Qifeng, the owner of the Book of Ye Tian.
There was nothing worth mentioning along the way, and the closer the fleet approached its destination, the calmer the sea surface appeared. By the time Nicole could already see the outline of a corner of Kadein Island on the sea level from the observation deck, the blue sea surface was already calm as if there was no ups and downs, and there was no ripples, as if it was a place inland, in a clear lake surrounded by deep mountains.
The calm wind is of course a good thing for seafarers. However, for real old seafarers, this is really unscientific.
"Theoretically, Kadein Island should be located on the southwest side of Chenhai, closer to the Kingdom of Elleva, a great country on the continent of Southnes. I have heard of it. The weather cannot be so polite." Miss Rosalie Bourred tapped a corner on the map with her finger: "If the old sailors of Chenhai are going to go to the Kingdom of Elleva, they will shake their heads like rattles, and at most they will only dare to get off the boat in Lehl and then detour from the land."
Ailva, in the common language of Sosness, means "thunder", you can imagine what kind of strange country it would be and how unfriendly the weather would be. However, the closer it is to that strange place, the calmer it is, which is enough to make the battle-hardened friends on the ship alert enough.
"And, since the beginning, the elements have seemed particularly chaotic..." Jifeng smiled and said, "You and Miss Nicole should have felt it already?"
"Yes, it's really a malicious intention from the world! Ordinary spell casters can't cast spells normally in this environment." It's so sunny and the bright weather with the breeze blowing on their faces is so comfortable that it makes people drowsy, but who would have thought that in the eyes of the extraordinary, this is actually a world full of turbulence, violent and black holes, which is so depressing that it's almost breathless.
"However, this level of elemental turbulence will not have much impact on you and me, for others..." Jifeng pondered for a moment: "Miss Nicole and Miss Rosalie's casting efficiency will definitely be reduced, but it should be able to overcome it. The rest of the friends should be fine. However, Professor Yavaru and others said..."
The meaning of the wind is very clear: Professor Yavaru and his students are the only mortals on the Seven Stars Aurora. If they continue to move towards the deep sea, the greater the pressure they will be. There is a vague burden on the body caused by the elements of chaos, and also a long-term and highly concentrated fatigue of mental health. More importantly, they are more likely to have the only strength shortcomings in the team, which brings certain hidden dangers to the team.
"After all, it's a joint adventure. I can't really drive away the representatives sent by the other party, right? Our products can get orders from Sosnes City State so quickly, thanks to the Mr. Swallowing the Sky Whale! Although being a capitalist is shameless, if you don't talk about moral integrity or have too little lower limit, you will definitely be unable to move forward in the future." Lu Xi sighed, and then said: "Besides, Jifeng had not explored the danger with Professor Yavaru and others before, so I don't know that although they are ordinary people, they are actually quite reliable at critical moments!"
"Oh? Are you talking about the adventure of the ancient capital of Goodethas, who was left behind by the Titan?" Jifeng showed a playful smile. Although he was smiling and his tone was still as gentle as water, he inexplicably conveyed a very powerful sense of oppression: "Lu Xi misses you, His Highness Katerina, right?"
"...According to your algorithm, do I miss Artoria every time I use the World Tree Scepter to cast spells? You have no technical content in your life, and it's bad review!"
"Well, being jealous is a privilege for girls! Especially for girls with my position! You can just allow you to be fickle. Isn't it even possible to have some minor emotions occasionally?"
...Remember, you group of Russ who are observing the world! Even if you have the conditions and abilities to open the Crystal Palace in the future, you must be cautious. When you do this, you may not be able to raise your head in front of all the girls, because you have lost the bargaining position under any circumstances.
As Lu Xi said, this treasure hunt is actually a so-called joint action. The major shareholders invested are Lu Xi's Future Chamber of Commerce and the Narwhale Chamber of Commerce of "Swallowing Whale" Gray, and the only small shareholder is our legal loli witch, Miss Rosalie Bourrede.
The members of the future chamber of commerce are Lu Xi and his wingers, Lu Xi's main palace and her attachments, Lu Xi's entourage villagers a plus villager b, Lu Xi's second disciple plus his armed maid team, plus a head that can be used to be cute at critical moments, and can be used as universal guides and encyclopedias at critical moments, and can be used as a fat snow leopard that can be used as emergency rations in an emergency. On the side of the narwhal Chamber of commerce is Professor Yavaru from the herbivorous department, plus two of his two female disciples, Xiyasi and Jina, of course, as
The eldest lady of the Narwhal Chamber of Commerce, Shiasi, is also a representative of the investor, is naturally indispensable. In addition, their team also has twenty excellent seamen and soldiers, all of whom were dug from the Neosfia Navy, and are also the elite of the armed merchant fleet of the Narwhal Chamber of Commerce. The leader is a former naval colonel named Horatire; and a team of ten adventurers who have had several relic development and exploration work, led by a middle-aged senior treasure hunter named Jones.
It is necessary to add a breakdown. Mr. Jones is not only a veteran explorer and treasure hunter, but also a very famous free archaeologist in the industry. He has published some valuable reports and papers in various academic journals. Although he is not completely affiliated with a certain university or research institute, he often goes to and from universities to teach in various universities for free. In short, being a veteran adventurer must be a hooligan, but Mr. Jones is indeed a cultured and knowledgeable hooligan.
In addition to Professor Yavaru and his students who have no combat effectiveness (except for the hidden setting that Miss Shishis is actually a faceless person), the team sent by the Narwhal Chamber of Commerce is indeed quite elite. The average strength of the sailors is between the bronze high and the silver early stage, and they are definitely the elite among the elite in the army, while the adventurers are one step ahead, and their strength is at the level of the silver high. As for the two leaders, Colonel Horatire and Mr. Jones both have gold-level strength.
In other stories, this is a team of protagonist templates, but in Lu Xi's view, it is at most a group of supporting roles with some strength. If you stay as an abandoned child, you can hold on for a longer time than pure cannon fodder.
Of course, in terms of the number of people, it seems that the Narwhale Chamber of Commerce is the main force, but in fact it is the opposite. You should know that Lu Xi not only has ships, but also has most of the treasure map fragments. If there is no more manpower and material resources on the other side, he will definitely become a vassal.
Even so, before setting off, Lu Xi still took the position of captain of the treasure hunting team without any objection.
As for how to allocate the treasures after discovering them, before leaving, we had a long discussion, and almost every piece of gold was specific, which was quite realistic and capitalist. However, in a sense, this is also a good thing. It is better for everyone to be villains beforehand than to be villains during the cooperation period.
"However, Professor, can your body still bear it?" Lu Xi looked at Professor Yavaru, who had been on the bow of the boat and stared at the sea level intently, and couldn't help but worry: "Although it's really calm now, in fact, the pressure brought by elemental disorders should be silently applied to everyone's bodies. After a long time, you will definitely feel uncomfortable."
"This... I said why I was so breathless just now." The professor woke up like a dream and smiled helplessly: "I am really negligent in training! Alas, mortals like us are particularly useless once they get older. I would have a healthy and powerful body like you!"
"You have a great soul and a lot of economics. Just leave some physical work to us, the strong and coarse people." Lu Xi smiled and said, "...But your existence itself is the treasure of archaeology all over the world, and I can't afford to lose you. Otherwise, let's go to the cabin for a rest now. How about you ask you to come out when you really find the place? Don't worry, if you really have any important archaeological discoveries, such as treasures, antiques, etc., you have to be asked to identify them on the spot."
"Treasures and other things are not important, resting and other things are not important. The most important thing is to make a conclusion on the unsolved mysteries of this great pirate era and the golden age. This will inevitably be the greatest archaeological discovery of this century!" Professor Yavaru looked at the outline of Kadein Island on the sea level, and his face flashed with an unhealthy flush, but his eyes were filled with the glory of positive energy: "My friend Lu Xi, do you know? Can solving such a historical mystery have a profound impact on our entire archaeological community... No, all our cultural heritages? As archaeologists, it is necessary for us to discover the achievements and deeds of our ancestors and put them in front of everyone! They are qualified to know the affairs of our ancestors!"
Well, compared with capitalists like Lu Xi and Tianzhe Grey, the harmless herbivorous Professor Yavaru has a sufficiently impressive and honest soul-stricken attitude to our protagonist.
"...Well, then, please do your best. In addition, this time, just like the last time at Goodeas, you may still encounter high-intensity battles. At that time, please take the students with you to stay in the cabin and not come out. Is it OK? On the battlefield, good luck will not always come."
"Uh, I'm a coward who is not good at fighting. I can't even argue with people, let alone fight." The professor nodded quickly, his smile becoming more helpless, and he had a hint of embarrassment. "If possible, of course I hope to stay away from the battlefield as much as possible!"
You underestimate yourself too much. Lu Xi was about to say this, and he saw a pirate jumping on two pirate ships in the distance and began to wave brightly colored flags.
"semaphore?"
"Signo said that we are close to the 'ship hunting ground' outside Kadein Island and we must be ready for battle." Jifeng shrugged, without any nervous expression on his face, but he had already taken out the Sky Sword Cross.
"Lu Lu! Something is close under the boat!" At this moment, the elf girl on the watchtower warned loudly. Although she was standing in the highest position on the boat, she was also the first person to discover foreign objects under the sea.
OK? This kind of expansion is actually not surprising at all. Lu Xi shrugged and waved his hand to Professor Yavaru: "Just like we said just now, please go back to the cabin immediately!" (To be continued.)
