On the afternoon of July 2, Damier Port, "Ripwater Seagull", crew restaurant.
Roman and his teammates, whom he had not seen for a long time, were drinking wine in the crew restaurant and sharing their experiences over the past month.
Through chatting with the captain, I learned that the reason why the "Riptide Seagull" was one day later than expected was because the Loen Royal Navy blocked a section of the route, saying that there were some important activities in Pulitzer Harbor.
No wonder it took the "Dream Ocean" an extra day from Pulitzer Harbor to Port Mill. It seems that the route was also affected by the Loen military.
As for the important activities of the Loen military in Pulitzer Harbor that the captain mentioned, Roman roughly knew what they were through his memories.
In Pulitzer Harbour, Oak Island, the base of the Royal Navy, two days ago, there was a grand launching ceremony of an ironclad ship. The ceremony was attended by many big figures including the Roen royal family, great nobles, members of the House of Lords and the House of Representatives, etc.
As an epoch-making product, the launch of the ironclad ship is enough to attract much attention.
However, the small adventure group that had been at sea was not very sensitive to this. The news of the ironclad ship was a shock to those pirate generals and pirate kings.
So the captain and crew didn't know much about it.
However, the newly launched ironclad ship has not yet formed combat effectiveness. It needs the cooperation of different types of ships and the training of officers, sailors and gunners. It will take at least a year to form combat effectiveness.
In the near future, there will definitely be a need for heavy protection to prevent hostile forces, including but not limited to pirates, Intis, Fusacs, etc., from destroying the ironclad ship or stealing its technical data.
Therefore, in the recent period, the Royal Navy of Loen's patrols in the waters around Pulitzer Port will definitely increase.
Roman shared some public information about the ironclad ship, as well as some of his own speculations, with his teammates.
Anyway, the ship on our side is an adventure merchant ship officially registered by Bayam. No matter how powerful the armored ship is and how high its displacement is, it will have no impact on Roman and his party.
Captains Fred and Tony also shared their plans for the next period of time with their teammates. They will dock at Damier Port tonight for supplies replenishment and repairs.
Of course, the most important thing is to introduce Roman and others to the crew and have a small carnival in the evening.
After that, the "Riptide Seagull" will set sail, starting from Damier Port, all the way east to the northern waters of the Rhoad Islands.
It is claimed that it is heading to the western waters of the Sea of Beluga to hunt beluga whales.
If anyone is suspicious and investigates, they will find that our captain, Mr. Fred, has obtained information about a sunken ship with a large amount of valuable cargo on board. The approximate location of the sunken ship is just north of Olavi Island.
Somewhere in the sea, we disguised ourselves as whaling ships in order to salvage sunken ships and obtain treasures.
Roman listened to Tony talking about matryoshka dolls here, and almost covered his forehead with his hands. He looked at Tony and said helplessly: "Then what is our real purpose?"
"The real purpose is to cooperate with the Loen Royal Navy and the warships of the Church of Storms in the waters north of Oravi and east of the Sea of White Whale to fight against pirates and obtain bounties, especially pirates with Rose Sect background, among which
The 'Blood Admiral' fleet is the main target." Tony said with a smile.
Roman was not surprised that the Church of Storms and the Loen Navy were attacking the Rose Sect, but the strength of his own ship seemed not enough to face a powerful pirate general level.
Roman asked without hiding his doubts.
Tony smiled and said: "Of course we are not the opponent of the 'Blood Admiral'. We are just one of the ships that the church has put into that sea area. The main goal is to collect intelligence for the church's warships and confirm the target. Of course, 'Blood Admiral'
The admiral has seven or eight ships under his command, and they don't always move together. Apart from his flagship, the Tree of Flesh, if we encounter someone who is alone, we don't have no chance."
Captain, Fred, who should be called captain now, also said: "Don't be too persistent, the church has given us a long-term task. To deal with the 'Blood Admiral', the strong ones of the church will naturally come forward, and we are not weak either."
, with the help of my request and Roman's growing achievements, the 'Riptide Seagull' has unusually strengthened its firepower and power at the same time, especially the power. On the sea, as long as the enemy is discovered in time enough, ordinary ships cannot pursue it.
Come to us. In terms of safety, we are very secure.”
Roman has no objection to the fact that his contribution to the team is invested in the "Riptide Seagull". On the sea, a reliable ship is often more valuable than one or two powerful Beyonders or powerful sealed objects.
for important.
Being able to strengthen his own ships shows that the Church of Storms has used the merits of those teams fairly, and Roman is happy to see this happen.
After visiting the ship's artillery, Roman returned to the room prepared for himself.
As usual, I took out the notebook and first divined whether there would be danger in going to sea this time. Due to insufficient prerequisites or the question was too vague, I directly placed the gold coin in my hand.
Roman, who was a little embarrassed, put down the gold coin and started divination about the notes again.
"The great god of divination above the gray fog, I beg you to give me a hint as to whether the notes in front of me come from the Antigonus family of the Fourth Age?"
…
After chanting seven times in Hermetic language, Roman ejected the gold coin upwards, stretched out his palm, and let the gold coin fall into his hands, still with the crown side facing up.
Of course, for Roman, the result of the divination is not actually important. Taking the opportunity to arouse Klein's interest is the key.
Still nothing happened.
At night, the crew members who had disembarked during the day to replenish supplies returned to the ship. During dinner time, Captain Fred gathered everyone on the deck.
It was announced that all crew members were in place and the "Ripwater Seagull" was about to set sail.
They also assigned duties to Roman and others, and held a celebration party to help Roman and others integrate into the crew.
Roman's assigned position is First Boatswain, which is different from the more bureaucratic job assignment in the Royal Navy. On an adventurer or pirate ship, in addition to maintaining the ship's condition and managing the sailors, more battles will occur, and
At this time, the position of the boatswain leading the sailors is more important.
As a warrior, Roman is the perfect candidate for the position of boatswain.
At the celebration party, the sailors seemed a little restrained when facing Philogan as the chief ship's doctor and Emily as the lady, but they still gave a particularly warm welcome to Roman who became the "boats captain".
As time passed, Roman found that there were fewer and fewer sailors in front of him, and more and more sailors were lying on the ground.
Some of them were lying on the ground after drinking with Roman and getting drunk, and some were lying on the ground after having a friendly sparring session with Roman.
"I should be considered as one with the crew now, right?" Roman thought uncertainly. This chapter has been completed!
