Chapter 390 New Partner, Sea Emperor Class Battleship
There are too many treasures in the Crystal Palace, and they can't be salvaged in a short while. Just as everyone in the Dawn Regiment was a little tired because of the hard work, they set up a tent by the lake to repair it.
There was no difference between day and night in the sea ruins. The light of the alchemy lamp illuminated the marching tents in the jungle, and everyone was busy.
Su Lun also felt relieved that the little apprentice Karma had thoughtfully set up the tent.
The injury on his body was "water poison" blessed by divine power, and it was really tricky. Fortunately, with the help of Dr. Banks, he recovered quickly.
It was already two days after the treasures in the Crystal Palace were salvaged.
Only then did the members of the Dawn Regiment break out of camp and set off.
In the dense jungle of Alcatraz, a team of a thousand people was too long.
Because [Sea King] was killed, the undead monsters in the sea ruins had no leader, and they couldn't gather too large a group of monsters.
The threat to the dawn regiment is not too great.
High-level monsters are usually not low in intelligence, and they perceive that the dawn group is not easy to provoke, and they rarely come to make trouble. However, occasionally they would pass by swamps and rivers, disturbing one or two dormant high-level undead monsters. But under the concentrated fire of everyone in the Dawn Regiment, they were able to deal with it without any risk.
Everyone proceeded cautiously along the way.
Alcatraz is very big, and it takes a day for a large army to march quickly to reach the beach.
This trip has harvested a lot of treasures, and everyone is very excited.
In the middle of the team, Su Lun and Qianjo walked side by side, and beside them were young people from Kama's regiment.
Taney this kid has been excited since last night because he got a big baby.
At this moment, he is showing off the new spell he has successfully mastered.
He condensed a big water ball with his trident, and showed off excitedly: "Lolota, Karma, look quickly, I can condense a second-order esoteric spell [Water Elemental Imprisonment]!"
This spell is very complicated, even if many veteran second-tier professionals in the regiment come, few of them can master it.
It is indeed amazing.
Karma listened, laughing without saying a word.
Lolotta gave him a blank look, and said quietly: "Mr. Su Lun gave you that treasure. Otherwise, you still have a long way to go to condense this spell."
Tani didn't mind admitting this fact, and showed off the trident in his hand again, his buttocks almost raised to the sky, and said: "That's right! Mr. Su Lun's [Egil's Sea God Trident] is at the level of a forbidden object Where's my baby!"
As he spoke, he did not forget to shout to Su Lun: "Thank you, Mr. Su Lun."
Su Lun smiled and nodded.
[Egil's Trident of the Sea God] This forbidden item can control the waves, and it is considered a treasure of the water element, but no one in the regiment can use it, so Su Lun first gave Tani the practice of controlling the water element, and by the way, he also tried to see if he could make it He mastered the ability to control the wind and waves awakened by his talent.
The other members of the Liming regiment before and after listening to the young people fighting, also showed friendly smiles.
Banned items are given away as soon as they are given away, which is impossible to see in any other team, even the wealthy Lu Ying royal family. Although the Dawn Regiment was formed not long ago, the atmosphere has become more and more harmonious after running in these days.
Hearing Taney showing off so much, Lolota flicked her ponytail, "huh~"
Because of Qiantiao's relationship, she and Su Lun have known each other very well for a long time, and they can be regarded as half-disciples.
This girl, like her teacher, has developed a big personality. She immediately ran to Su Lun's side, and said in a resentful tone: "Mr. Su Lun, you are biased."
Su Lun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't understand the hint, so he could only respond: "Haha. If there is one next time, I will get a famous knife for Lolotta."
Lolotta listened, and immediately cheered up, "Okay."
But before he had time to be happy, he was knocked on the head with a "boom" by a scabbard.
She turned to look at Qiantiao next to Su Lun with an aggrieved face, and said bitterly, "Teacher, why are you hitting me again~"
Qianjo said unhappily: "If you don't practice your sword well for a day, you will think about something foreign. A good thing chooses the master. When you have enough kendo attainments, you will naturally meet a good sword. Otherwise, even if I give you something like [Zongzheng]' You can't control the Twelve Good Workers and Famous Swords."
"oh."
Lolotta was trained to have no temper, so she raised her lips, "Understood, teacher."
With that said, the others laughed even brighter.
Meanwhile, at the end of the line.
Barrett and "Red Nose" Miles, the leader of the "Black Panthers," were chatting.
The families of the two were family friends, so they were naturally very sad when they met this time.
The big change of the adjudication team caused the whole Lu Ying to stir up trouble, and no one thought that Barrett could survive under the Queen's order.
To meet again is a farewell to life and death.
What's more, if they didn't meet the Liming regiment this time, their Black Panther regiment might really be wiped out in this "sea ruins".
This meeting is not easy.
The two friends who haven't seen each other for a long time have still had a lot to talk about since they met yesterday.
They naturally took everything in front of them into their eyes, looked at it and laughed.
Looking at the cheerful atmosphere of the Dawn Regiment, Miles sighed slightly, envious, and said with emotion: "Your Dawn Regiment is really a very special team. That young man is indeed very powerful. However, I am also curious, why You, Barrett, have such a violent temper that even dares to shake the hat of the Grand Marshal of the Empire, you will be a captain of the regiment? If you think about it, if you were willing to stand in the team, you don’t have to lead the army outside all day long. Even the 'Lieutenant General' of the military department will not encounter that kind of thing."
This old friend is also very puzzled. Apart from the Marfa Empire, it is hard to imagine that there is another force that can make an imperial general like Barrett willing to serve. Apart from the two great empires, there is no such platform that can support the development of a general of an empire.
"The Tribunal is a thing of the past."
Barrett shook his head bitterly, those past events are no longer important.
Honor, military rank, and status all turned into clouds of smoke.
After this calamity, he also wanted to understand too many things.
He looked ahead and said meaningfully: "Su Lun is a very courageous and courageous young man. The Dawn Regiment is also very special. Everyone is excellent. In the future, they will definitely shine."
The situation of the dawn group is very special now, even if it is an old friend, he didn't say much.
Miles didn't ask much after listening, but recalled the scene of yesterday's battle in his mind, "I'll wait and see."
The geniuses in the capital of the Luying Empire are like crucian carp in a river, but he has never seen such an enchanting young man.
And it's not just the fighting power of a certain person, but the entire Dawn group, it seems that people can see a breath of vitality.
It's very different from any team he's ever seen.
Thinking of this, Miles sighed again, "The decaying empire is like the setting sun, it's really hard for people to see a glimmer of hope. Now that you said it, I only know that Lu Ying's situation is so bad. If it wasn't for me, I still have too many worries, I really want to welcome the light of dawn with you."
Barrett also had a very complicated expression, shaking his head and chuckling, "Yes, you still have family."
Speaking of this, Miles seemed to think of something, sighed slightly, and said again: "Hey, I didn't do anything to be on the list this time. After hearing what happened to your adjudication team, I ran a lot of contacts in Lingdon , and your teachers and classmates at Zhanzheng College have also tried various methods, but to no avail. No one dares to disobey the orders issued by Her Lady the Queen herself."
Barrett shook his head, a lot of things have been taken lightly: "No, don't feel guilty, my old friend. You have helped me a lot. My brothers and I are very grateful to you."
"Why"
Miles sighed.
After pondering for a moment, he said again: "If there is a chance to go back to Lingdun to see your teacher, Admiral Rostov, he wanted to protect your family because he sponsored the adjudication team, but the politicians in the Congress took the opportunity Suppression, but also a lot of implicated."
As he spoke, his tone suddenly became aggrieved: "That kind of loyal old general has been treated so unfairly. Sooner or later, the empire will be gnawed by those damned arms dealers and dirty moths!"
"."
Barrett listened, his expression darkened, and he didn't speak again.
This time, the "Treasure of Alcatraz" attracted more than 100,000 people to hunt for the treasure. In the past two days, it was obvious that unsuspecting adventurers broke into the ruins one after another.
The sound of battle can be heard everywhere on Alcatraz, and through the fog, you can occasionally see the flashes of artillery on distant islands.
The Dawn Group has personally tested it. There are countless undead monsters in this sea ruins, but not all adventure groups have such strong strength as the Dawn Group.
The adventurers who were fooled by the treasure this time are destined to suffer heavy casualties, and countless groups will be wiped out.
Su Lun and the others planned to leave the sea ruins now, but they also left some signs engraved with words on Alcatraz Island along the way. That is the content that clarifies the truth about the treasure this time, and how to leave the sea ruins. It can also be regarded as leaving a glimmer of life for those survivors who survived.
To go now, we need battleships.
Two of the three warships of the Dawn Regiment were destroyed. I went to the beach to see that the remaining one was also destroyed by monsters.
Obviously, that dilapidated ship couldn't support all of them to leave.
There is still a spare sea ship in Su Lun's small void world,
but now,
They obviously have a better option.
Su Lun has always been thinking about the Neptune-class battleship "Emperor Eternal Night"!
During the initial artillery battle, Dr. Banks left his mark on the black sail warship. Now everyone in the Dawn Regiment also searched all the way, and successfully found the legendary battleship parked there quietly in a harbor.
There are more than a dozen dilapidated ancient ghost ships beside them.
Without [Sea King], this battleship seems to have lost the king's throne, aloof, but a little sad.
But this is good news for the Dawn Corps.
There are not many ships, which means that there are no endless undead monsters.
Su Lun and a crew member of the Dawn Corps observed on the cliff for a long time, told the dead bird to fly in circles, and the perception department professionals tried every means to confirm that there were not many high-level undead monsters.
They decided to attack by force!
Not long after, the battle broke out.
"One group intercepted the bay, the second group cleaned up other ghost ships, and the third group rushed in with me to clean up the monsters in the cabin of the 'Eternal Night'!"
"Everyone check ammo and prepare to fight!"
"."
Under Barrett's command, the Dawn Regiment bravely rushed into the bay.
It's probably because those undead monsters are scattered to hunt down various adventure groups. There are not many monsters here, and it is estimated to be ten to twenty thousand.
It's a bit cumbersome, but not too big.
Su Lun's dozens of mechanical octopuses took the lead, directly and completely destroying those tattered ghost ships.
The members of the Dawn Regiment gathered and pushed across the army, and Su Lun harvested the "gray fog" all the way in the team, so that the monsters could not be revived. Their momentum was like a rainbow, like sharp daggers ruthlessly inserted into the group of monsters.
The battle clearing was proceeding in an orderly manner without any accidents.
And after Barrett, Qianjo and the others killed several high-level undead monsters, the battle came to an end.
Everyone in the Dawn Regiment successfully boarded the "Eternal Night Dawn".
What is the experience of boarding the "Neptune-class" warship?
With a hull of more than 300 meters, it really looks like an aircraft carrier!
The deck on the top floor is so spacious that you can even drive a quad bike around it.
After any identification, the masts are permanently solidified seventh-order rune variant [Moises Strong Runes]. This kind of rune language is specially tailored for materials, and the fit is really perfect. The runes on the mast are not isolated, they are still integrated with the entire battleship. When the mast is attacked, the entire hull will share part of the energy impact, which greatly increases its defense.
The wood of the ship is [Golden Oak Cursed by the Demon God]. This kind of wood is a mythical material, and there are occasionally some small pieces in the antique shop.
Want to get a boat?
Oh, it's hard to come by.
After boarding the ship, Su Lun appraised the ship all the way because he was worried about any hidden dangers on the ship.
But it was the way he watched carefully that he was the more shocked.
Every detail on the boat has been used just right.
It was identified that the cables on the ship were all woven by the monster [the beard of the lynx cat], which kept them from decaying for hundreds of years. But the arm-thick cables coiled on the deck may be several kilometers long, and the amount of beards consumed is simply unimaginable.
And the most shocking thing is that the keel of the battleship is not wood, but the bone of an ancient [Blue Dragon]!
The sail is not made of braided fabric, but the fish skin of [Deep Sea Lantern Fish], which has super toughness, compression resistance and corrosion resistance
Although the ship is large, it looks like a finely crafted work of art. The details show the wisdom of Moises, the legendary master of shipbuilding two hundred years ago.
This is a masterpiece of top craftsmanship that can be called a sailing warship.
This is a "Legendary Battleship", even if there are blueprints, it is impossible not to create a second "Legendary Battleship".
There were still sporadic fighting sounds coming from the cabin, it was the members of the Dawn Regiment cleaning up the monsters hiding in the shadows.
This huge battleship has a total of six decks, with countless cabins separated, and the internal structure is as complicated as a tunnel.
Ammunition compartment, artillery compartment, storage compartment, waterproof compartment, galley, ship energy compartment
A huge canteen?
Oh, this is unimaginable on other sailing battleships. I heard that only the super-large true qi battleships of the Marfa Empire have such a luxurious configuration.
In Su Lun's three "second-tier battleships" before, the crew ate their meals by themselves, looking for the deck or squatting in a corner to eat.
"Hahaha, now our Dawn Regiment has a good ship!"
"Oh, the number of these soldier cabins is enough for each of us to sleep in one room! The sound insulation effect of the cabin is actually so good. Haha, I finally don't have to listen to that guy Sandro snoring all the time."
"Yes. This ship is probably built according to the standard configuration of 5,000-10,000 people, and we can accommodate several times more people. My God, the legendary "Neptune-class" battleship is really too exaggerated!"
"."
The crew is also excited.
The sea boat is equivalent to most of their homes. With such a good boat, everyone's living environment has been qualitatively improved.
Su Lun followed the team members to clean up all the way down, making sure to clean up the "Emperor of Eternal Night".
Because there are still many mysterious cabins with special barriers that limit perception.
Along the way to clean up the past, I encountered a few century-old evil spirits trapped on the ship formed by resentment.
If this thing is not cleaned up, it will inevitably create some "spiritual events" for the people on board at night.
As soon as Su Lun's black umbrella came out, he immediately took it and used it as fertilizer.
Magic lamps were hung along the way, and this dimly lit cabin for hundreds of years was illuminated for the first time.
Not long after, they came to the artillery cabin.
All the undead monsters here have been killed, and the crew is unloading the usable trophies from the corpses, and then throwing the skeletons into the sea.
Because Su Lun can perceive the layout of the space, when he came here, he already had a clear understanding of the structure diagram of the entire ship in his mind.
The three-story artillery cabin is connected up and down, and the design is very delicate.
What is amazing is that after so many years of wandering in the ruins, the black powder in the ammunition sealed cabin is still very well preserved!
A few people were walking, and they were also tapping around to check.
The most eye-catching thing in the cabin on this floor is naturally the sixty or even dozens of tons of cast iron cannons.
Because it was fired by those undead gunners two days ago, the cabin was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
Qianjo tapped the heavy gun barrel with his hands, making a dull sound, and muttered: "Hey, these iron bumps are not rusted, the casting process is really good enough."
Barrett also looked at these antiques, recognized them, and said with a little emotion: "This [M1817 cannon] is the most advanced artillery two hundred years ago. There are still several samples in the museum of Luying War College. This There is also the label of the Luying Military Shipyard on it, which will not be leaked through any channel except the Royal Warship. I don’t know how these pirates got it.”
Thinking that it might be the masterpiece of those greedy arms dealers again, after all, the situation where the parliament has been controlled by arms dealers has lasted for hundreds of years.
Barrett shook his head in thought.
After a pause, he continued: "In order to pursue a range, this type of cannon must be large enough and have a long enough barrel, so it also occupies a large position. In naval battles, there were hundreds of cannons. The battle is invincible. But now, the artillery you buy casually on the market has the power of these artillery. But they are smaller and more convenient."
Su Lun also smiled when he heard that, and said: "Yes. With the current number of 200 cannons on one side, the artillery battle is enough to crush any sailing warship. If you replace it with the current technological cannons, the same weight, the number is completely enough Double it up a few more times. Well, you can also replace part of it with ship-borne rapid-fire guns and anti-ship missile launchers. You can even add steam mechanical boilers, and provide some extra power when necessary.”
The exaggerated displacement of the [Emperor of Eternal Night] is enough to support more heavy equipment.
The current technology is very different from that of two hundred years ago. Su Lun is a mechanic himself, and he immediately thought of countless possibilities for modification.
But here comes the question, where are they going to get so many advanced artillery and modified equipment now?
The best shipboard artillery is in the Lu Ying army.
You may be able to get one or two doors on the black market, but you want to equip them in bulk.
You have to rob the pirates of the North Sea Fleet!
Oh no!
And Grand Duke Raphael!
Su Lun had seen the giant steel battleship of Grand Duke Raphael before, and under the command of the Grand Duke, he secretly developed a lot of good things.
When the topic came to this point, Su Lun, Qianjo and Barrett looked at each other, and the three of them saw the meaningful smile in each other's eyes.
They are pirates now.
If you make it yourself, there will be no robbery.
Not long after, Su Lun and the others cleared all the way to the bottom warehouse.
This [Emperor of Eternal Night] was the pirate ship of the "Pirate Emperor" Francis Drake, and some valuable antique treasures were also found on board.
But after all, the Dawn Mission just came out of the Crystal Palace, and everyone has long been numb to the treasures.
Checked it out, and there was nothing to look forward to.
"Everyone clean up the cabin, this will be the warship of our Dawn Regiment from now on!"
"Okay! Brothers, let's start"
"."
Except for the structure of the ship itself, almost all other items accompanying the ship have decayed.
This will be the new home of the Dawn Corps in the future, and the crew started cleaning with great enthusiasm.
There is no problem with the function of the ship, and the shipwrights and mechanics have also started to make repairs, and after maintenance, they can go to sea for a long voyage.
After cleaning up the monsters, Su Lun and the others were preparing to go up.
But at this moment, Tani's voice suddenly echoed in the bottom cabin: "Mr. Su Lun, please come to the cockpit. There is a small problem here."
Su Lun looked up and saw that the sound came from the precise brass pipe on the wall.
Two hundred years ago, there was no mechanical communicator, but such a large ship also needed timely communication. Therefore, the captain's cabin and the cockpit have a "communication channel" that connects all important cabins.
Shout to the mouth, the sound can be transmitted to a specific place.
That guy Taney probably understands these old antiques, and the communicator is useless, and he is probably testing it.
Su Lun went all the way and soon came to the spacious cockpit.
Tani is the chief navigator of the Dawn Corps, so the cockpit is naturally his territory, and he stays here as soon as he boards the ship.
But looking at his frowning look now, it seems that he has encountered some trouble.
As soon as Su Lun entered, he asked, "What's the matter?"
Taney pointed to the old rudder with obvious signs of time, and said quite speechlessly: "Although I don't think a brave alchemist should say that, it seems to be really 'haunted'. I didn't move just now, but But the rudder moved by itself. I checked it, and the structure is fine, but the gears and bearings need to be oiled."
Haunted?
Su Lun frowned and asked, "Did the rudder move by itself?"
Lolota on the side also said with a puzzled face: "Yes. Mr. Su Lun, I saw it just now."
Karma also said, "Teacher, I saw it too. But I didn't find any trace of the ghost."
Taney shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he was not talking nonsense, and described the strange feeling in his heart with his cerebral palsy tilted, "Also, I feel that this ship is different from other ships. It doesn't seem to like being manipulated by others." .”
For materialistic alchemists, supernatural events are almost all special phenomena of various abnormal energy overflows.
But Su Lun also paid attention to what the three said.
【Pupil of Omniscience】Identified it, and there is nothing special. The cockpit is full of antiques, and there are a few alchemy objects, but there is nothing special.
Su Lun thought of something, took out the black umbrella and held it in his hand, and his perception became too sharp.
Suddenly, he noticed a slight soul fluctuation, and immediately realized what was going on with this haunting incident, and muttered: "Ship ghost?"
Tani on the side listened, apparently having heard of this term, exclaimed: "The legendary 'ship ghost'?"
"Um."
Su Lun nodded.
It is said that certain sea ships have drifted at sea for a long time, and because of some special circumstances, they gradually have their own spirituality.
Many legends about "bad ships" and "ghost ships" are actually sea ships giving birth to evil ship ghosts, who will murder those who board the ship.
But there are some good ones too.
There are clear records that the ship ghost can automatically repair the ship, sail, avoid danger, find the wind, and guide the correct course
In Su Lun's understanding, it was like a certain degree of intelligent driving.
It can bring a lot of positive help to the adventure group in the nautical battle.
When he first saw the appraisal of the "Emperor of Eternal Night", he was reminded that "it has bred a powerful ship ghost", but he had searched the ship before and found nowhere.
It turned out to be here.
Su Lun thought, walked over, and put his hand on the handle of the rudder.
Sure enough, at this moment, he felt a weak spiritual fluctuation.
Unlike the soul fire of humans or other creatures, the fluctuations are very weak.
But very special.
Like a kitten who has just opened up his mind, he is curious about the world and very timid.
The "ship ghost" was probably the first time it came into contact with humans. It was frightened by Su Lun's perception, and the rudder turned nervously.
Looking at the strange situation, Ta Ni covered his mouth and whispered softly: "That's it! It's coming again!"
Su Lun smiled.
He touched the rudder, touched the past with his soul, and introduced himself: "My name is Su Lun, and we are the 'Dawn Group'. In the future, it will definitely be the greatest adventure group on this sea."
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then asked in a very solemn tone: "Are you willing to be our partner?"
Hearing what Su Lun said, the three of Karma looked at him with strange eyes: Is this talking to the ship?
As soon as these words came out, the cabin fell into a dead silence.
Doesn't seem to get a response.
Su Lun pondered for a moment, thinking of something. Suddenly, an aura of looking down on the world burst out of his eyes, and behind him rose the phantom of the god of death with a scythe. The coercion was released, and the terrifying aura like the arrival of death swept across the entire cockpit in an instant.
This domineering aura overwhelmed the faces of the three Karmas in the cabin.
At the same time, the "ship ghost" also felt it.
Treasures have spirits, only the strong are worthy of such a top battleship!
The "boat ghost" who was born with new intelligence also sensed Su Lun's mind and responded with a thought.
Although it is not able to talk like a human being, but that means: I am willing.
As Su Lun looked at it, the corners of his mouth raised an arc, and he stroked the rudder, as if stroking the head of a kitten: "From now on, you will be our partner!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole ship seemed to be happy, the rudder turned happily, and the whole hull shook slightly.
Like a dancing kid.
The three of Taney looked at the scene of the gods in front of them, with surprised and excited smiles on their faces, as if a cheerful atmosphere infected them.
At the same time, on the ship, the unknown crew members of the dawn regiment were still wondering what went wrong.
Through the brass communication pipe in the cab, Su Lun shouted loudly: "Everyone, welcome the new member of our Dawn Regiment, the 'Emperor of Eternal Night'!"
With that said, someone immediately understood what happened just now.
"Ship ghost! That was the ship ghost controlling the ship just now!"
"My God, our battleship has a ship ghost!"
"Hahaha, welcome to join our dawn group"
"."
All of a sudden, there were warm cheers and shouts in the cabin.
