Chapter 84

Eighty-fourth

Under the leadership of Captain Donovan we soon saw the so-called bar.

Like the port city, this bar has that medieval feel. The dilapidated facade gives people a very low-level feeling, but once you actually go in, you will find that this place is not that bad after all. Of course, before

It's up to you to ignore that weird smell in the air.

The people who hang around in such places are all sailors, and the profession of sailors was a very dirty profession before the large-scale use of motor ships. Because the sea voyage time is too long, fresh water is a very precious thing, so seafarers They rarely do

To take a bath. For them, it is very normal to go for months at sea without taking a shower. If a person does not take a shower for several months, you can roughly guess the smell.

The current bar is basically full of this smell, and not only do we have to enter here, but we also need to recruit a navigator here, which is really a painful job. Although the decoration of this place is actually pretty good, inside

The people didn't look as rude as expected, but the smell was really comparable to chemical gas.

"Ugh..." The real red appearance who opened the door first was turned off by the strange smell, and then I smelled that smell, and the mask automatically came down as soon as I thought about it.

After seeing my reaction, Rose and Christina thought we were under attack and took out their weapons in a fighting stance. However, they saw me waving at them. "Don't be nervous. Just isolate the smell. The gas inside

The smell is really unbearable! "

"Is it that exaggerated?" Jin Coin looked at me and jumped down and walked to the door. Then his face changed color in the next second, and he quickly turned around and rushed out. "Wow...I'm going to vomit!"

"It does seem so exaggerated." Christina said as she looked at the gold coin below, which was holding on to the wooden handrail and retching. "We should take some measures beforehand."

"That's enough." Rose just lightly tapped on the back of Christina's head, then tapped on the back of her own head, and then jumped off Ye Ying and walked directly to the door.

In fact, there are many ways to isolate smells, and physical tools such as masks are not necessarily required. On the contrary, magicians have more ways to deal with this kind of smell, but Rose obviously has no intention of adding another gold coin. And me and Zhenhong

There is no need to use this thing after putting down the mask.

Captain Donovan looked at Rose and Christina and walked right in. She was still a little surprised, but Rose tapped the back of her head before entering the door, and then she understood when Captain Donovan actually entered the room.

What kind of rose and Christina acted so indifferently.

The spell used by Rose is just a very low-level ordinary spell. Its only function is to isolate strange smells. It is said that the inventor of this magic received a mission to eliminate an intruder in the sewer of a large city.

Monsters entering the city. The result is that this guy found that after trying it a few times, he couldn't get used to the smell in the sewer. So he invented this magic that can change the effect of smell. As long as you cast a spell on yourself, you can ensure that you are under the devil

You won't smell any odor until the method is lifted. Of course, the price is that your sense of smell is basically useless during this period, because even if there is a smell, it has been tampered with by magic.

"Okay. Come in quickly." Seeing that Jin Coin was still vomiting at the door, I simply went over and picked her up and took her into the room. Of course, I had no intention of smoking her to death, so she also added that before catching her. magic. In fact, this method

Many people in our guild have learned this technique, and the main reason is that Essinger is an undead city. Although some restrictions and adjustments were made to the residents of the city later because it was open to players from all over the world, the undead creatures are Essien

The basis of the grid is here, so we try our best to tilt towards the undead tribe here. This tilted method is to set up some undead activity areas in the city, and then limit the undead creatures to only move in this area, and other players will not enter this area.

These areas will be warned in advance, so if anyone still wants to enter, it is their own business. It has nothing to do with us.

After we set up the undead gathering area, certain undead creatures will open some special shops in this undead gathering area. Although these shops are mainly set up to meet the needs of the undead, some of them do have

Some very unique items are often irreplaceable, and this feature determines that many people must enter this gathering of the undead to buy these items.

Although most players who can go to the undead gathering area to buy things don't care whether the other party is undead, some low-level undead moving in this area will emit some unbearable stench. For example, low among zombies

Level existence - rotting zombies. The smell of this kind of existence is usually very terrifying, it is simply a walking biochemical weapon. Therefore, if you don’t prepare some air filtering magic for activities in such a place, you will simply be in trouble with yourself.

Because of this strange situation, everyone in our Frost Rose Alliance base has learned this magic, and most of the remaining players who don't know this magic are pure warrior players. They don't use magic at all and just put their masks on. Just pull it down

.

After I was dragged into the bar and found that I didn't smell the smell mixed with sweat, body odor and various weird smells again, the gold coin finally came to life again, and then I started to observe the place carefully. In fact, in gold coin observation this place

I was also observing this place when I was visiting. Zhishi’s observation angle was different from hers. What I observed was mainly the composition of the people in this place.

The staff in this bar can be roughly divided into several types. One of them is also the most common. They were groups of tough-looking people gathered together. The biggest feature of these people is that they are all covered in tendons, and

All of them belong to the type that only grows muscles but not brains. They are basically impulsive and irritable beasts. This type of personnel is actually the largest group of people in this place, because they are ordinary sailors.

In the era of sailing, sailors needed to master a lot of skills, but this profession was not a high-start profession. As long as you had enough physical fitness and didn't suffer from seasickness, becoming a sailor was very simple. very

As for many low-level sailors in the Navy, this is how they come.

but. Although there are many of these people. But they are not the type that is taken seriously in this place. After all, muscles always require brains to lead, so sailors are usually not the most awesome ones. The real ones are on the side of the bar.

A group of people next to a small stage. The stage and the surrounding environment were obviously more luxurious than other places in the bar. certainly. The so-called luxury is relative to other places here. In the standard aspect of our guild

forward. The level of this place is that of a ruin.

Captain Donovan probably noticed that I had been observing the crowd, so he took the initiative to come up and said, "You have really sharp eyes. Those people are the people we need."

"The person we need? You mean the navigator?"

"Not just navigators." Captain Donovan told me: "These people are not just navigators. Some of them were former deputy captains, and some were deck commanders and gunnery experts. Sort of like. Anyway, everyone who can sit here is

He is an elite sailor. "

When we were observing over there, the other party also noticed us. In fact, not only those people noticed our presence, but the only people in the entire bar who didn't see us were probably the drunkards who slipped under the table after drinking too much.

That’s it.

Those people were all staring at us, as if they were ready to kill us if something went wrong. Not to mention that the people in this place are really tough.

"What's going on now?" Zhenhong asked, looking at the people around her.

Captain Donovan did not answer our questions at this time. Instead, he directly kicked the person at the wine table next to him, then stepped on his stool and climbed onto the table, and then stood on the table to use the table. The height of the condescending big

He shouted: "Listen up, you scum. I have a battleship and now I need to go to the Ice Continent, but unfortunately my people don't know how to get there. So, now I need a pilot Member. Whoever wants to go, this bag of gold coins

It's his. "

Following Captain Donovan's words, the surrounding sailors became excited almost instantly. Instead of rushing to fight with us, they all enthusiastically gathered around us to greet us and flatter us. Everything around us is being wiped out at an extremely fast speed

It was empty, and then a group of people brought tables and temporarily put together three tables for us that looked like interviewers. Then someone else on the other side of the table asked us if we needed a sailor or something, and the enthusiasm was so intense that it felt like we were being roasted.

"Are you all deaf?" Captain Donovan yelled with a very bad attitude: "I want a navigator, and if you don't, get out of here."

To be honest, it was really special to see a young girl who looked to be under eighteen years old with one leg on a chair, holding a musket in one hand and shooting into the air, calling herself "I".

Unexpectedly, Captain Donovan's outburst did not have any impact on the enthusiasm of these people. Instead, they all stepped aside, and then moved those who knew the way and had served as navigators to the front. The whole process shows

He showed great enthusiasm and piety, and his attitude towards us was simply incredible.

In fact, this situation, to put it bluntly, is just a matter of people and wealth dying. The behavior of these guys is no different from the behavior of modern people. Those of us who hire navigators are essentially a special group of employers, and those

Sailors and whatnot are people waiting for work. For us recruiters, even if they don't like it, we still have to be as groveling as possible, because offending us will not only lead to us not being able to find a job, but what's more terrible is that as long as we are a little bit

Just a hint, there will be a lot of people who just use them as gifts to honor us. Therefore, if you want to find a job and don’t want to die in the dark, the best way is to make a low profile in front of us and let others use them even if they want to.

There is no excuse for pleasing us.

After Captain Donovan finished yelling again, the irrelevant personnel stood aside and let the professional counterparts in the middle compete for jobs. As a result, Captain Donovan quickly selected two people based on his sailing experience. Made this time

pilot. I guess the reason why two people were needed was probably because Captain Donovan felt it was unsafe.

Leaving the bar with two pilots we headed back to port. We came here planning to sail soon, but we unexpectedly encountered some strange things in a place like this.

When we arrived here, we actually found a lot of people gathered on the pier. These people are fighting with each other. And it doesn't look like a life-and-death battle, but more like a group fight, because everyone is more restrained and uses

Weapons such as fists or wooden sticks were used. Some of them obviously had matchlocks and swords hanging on their waists. But you have to fight with your fists. This makes it clear that this is not a way of fighting that really involves killing people.

Although people on both sides don't seem to really want to kill each other. But we don't care, not because we have a strong sense of justice and like to draw a sword to help when there is injustice. But because one of the two parties in the battle is actually the Donovan ship.

Long crew.

"Separate them all." Captain Donovan, who was trembling with anger, roared at the battlefield over there. Although she was just a girl who looked less than eighteen years old, the captain was the captain, and on the sea, the captain Needing to be responsible for the lives of a boatload of people, he

They are the law on the ship and even the gods of the sailors, so the sailors have special respect for the captain.

After Captain Donovan roared, several sailors who were close heard Captain Donovan's voice, and then they planned to stop and listen to Captain Donovan's command. Although they stopped, the other party did not

There was no intention of stopping, but those who stopped in this situation were of course immediately knocked down. The situation was simply one-sided.

Captain Donovan was stunned when he saw this situation, and then realized that the people on her side were defeated because of her. This was definitely the biggest insult to her. The angry Captain Donovan immediately pulled out the pendant from his waist.

Jian wanted to go up and fight her opponent to the death, but before she could move, I signaled the gold coin to hold her back.

"Don't be impulsive. This won't solve the problem." Zhen Hong held on to Captain Donovan and refused to let go. Although Captain Donovan had good strength and other qualities, he naturally had no fight back in front of Zhen Hong. With great strength, the results are natural

It can only be suppressed.

Although I asked True Red to hold Captain Donovan back, I didn’t intend to let Captain Donovan’s people suffer. After all, our mission still depends on them! If a large number of these people are injured here, even if we can still go to the Ice Continent, but

In this case, our mission will definitely be disrupted, so of course we still hope that we can safely take Captain Donovan's entire ship and leave safely, instead of letting Captain Donovan take a navigator and a pilot alone. Let's go riding together

Ice continent.

After instructing the real red over there to hold Captain Donovan, I turned around and signaled to Christina. Christina immediately understood what I meant, and then came directly to the crowd over there in a large area. mental impact. Original

The people fighting in the melee felt as if they had all been hit on the head with a stick. Everyone was instantly separated from their opponents, and then rolled around on the ground holding their heads.

"Quiet." Following Christina's voice, the people rolling on the ground suddenly stopped. Then some of them gradually regained their mobility and slowly stood up. Of course, although these people got up, they

However, they were not completely relieved from the headache, and they still felt a little uncomfortable holding their heads. However, despite being like this, these people were still lucky, because they woke up before those below them.

He angrily kicked the fallen enemy at his feet who was still fighting with him. These people who woke up began to realize our intervention, and then they retreated to the side to form a complete defensive formation. This posture was considered sufficient.

. It just means that they don’t want to fight with these people.

After seeing that the sense of the scene had been controlled, I walked up to the group of people, pointed at the people over there and asked Captain Donovan's sailors: "Can anyone explain to me what's going on?" Something?"

Captain Donovan's men were quick to answer my questions, and the answers they received were not that surprising. In fact, the situation described by Captain Donovan's sailors should be said to be very ordinary.

In fact, it was very simple at the beginning. Someone was supplying Captain Donovan's warship, but suddenly another warship came next to it. This warship also belonged to Captain Donovan's enemy country's ship. Two countries and the previous

The situation is the same, they are in a hostile state. However, although the fleets of two countries meeting at sea will turn into a decisive battle, this is not the depth of the sea. But a third party. That is, the neutral port city. Regardless of whether these warships enter the port,

Whichever country it belongs to, entering this port is the service object of this port. Therefore, all these warships are fixed here and cannot fight. Otherwise, it will be considered a breach of contract. Not only will you lose a lot of reputation. Will suffer again

There is resistance from the majority of neutral countries, so even if the enemy who killed his father is standing on the opposite side, these navies must maintain restraint.

The so-called restraint means that the warships of the two countries should not engage in gun battles and the like in the port. But this can restrict two warships from fighting, but it cannot restrict the sailors. Because the two countries are feuding, the hostility is very serious.

Heavy. Even though the people above gave orders not to let them fight with the locals in the port, the officers did not say that fighting in the port was not allowed.

Because of this strange situation, people on both sides began to compete with each other. They first fought over the issue of supplies. They had to supply their own side first, and they would not accept a 50-50 split.

In fact, as long as the warship is not in a hurry to go to sea, the supply operation can be carried out slowly. The previous supply was also at this rhythm. However, although both sides are not in a hurry to go to sea now, they are doing it without any regard for their own side.

Maximum effort. This kind of face is recognized by sailors as being hidden in everything.

Complete supplies before the other party, buy more supplies than the other party, and even snatch every worker who comes to the port to work, just to make the other party show inferiority to themselves in every aspect.

Under this kind of thinking, people on both sides can be said to be competing at every turn, and the final result of this situation is what we see now. On the surface, the reason for their big scuffle was because a worker forgot that the things he brought were for gifts.

Which boat did they get on? As a result, both sides said that this was their own thing, and then started to snatch it. Later, the thing fell into the sea during the snatching process, which led to a complete melee between the two sides.

This change is really special. They actually started fighting over a box that fell into the sea. The most important thing is that neither side still knows what is in it. In fact, they don't care about what's in it at all. What everyone cares about is

It’s about whether you gain face and whether you suppress the opponent’s momentum.

In this case, it would be strange not to start a fight.

"Okay, now that the situation is roughly clear, then, since you don't really intend to kill each other in the port, don't waste time. Everyone, hurry back to the ship."

At my order, the crew members all started to run back, but after running for two steps, they remembered that their captain, Captain Donovan, had not even spoken yet and they followed my instructions. This was a serious blow to the ship. What an insult!

Fortunately, Captain Donovan is not the kind of person who cares about such small things, so he doesn't react much to this situation and is quite calm.

"Listen to President Ziri and get back on the ship. We are ready to set off."

They had wanted to leave before. After hearing Captain Donovan's approval, the remaining people naturally ran back to their ships even faster, and then the entire battleship began to turn around quickly with the efforts of the sailors. Prepare to leave the post, while the other party and them

The warships of those fighting were also full of people. These people looked to see if they could see any emergencies. According to convention, although the warships of both sides were not suitable for naval battles in the ports of third-party countries, due to the hatred between the two countries,

So people on both sides are very serious about looking for trouble for each other. The best opportunity to do something like this is when leaving the port. Looking for opportunities to bump into each other or rub each other, this is all provocation. And the warships of both countries have done a lot of work before.

This kind of thing.

This time it may be destined to disappoint the other party. Captain Donovan's battleship actually stopped after completing a U-turn in the port. Then he saw two giant dragons descending from the sky. They grabbed the rope on the bow and began to flap their wings and take off. The battleship

The ship also flew up, and the speed was not very fast, so the people on the battleship here looked at it with envy. As those below watched, Captain Donovan's battleship began to slowly accelerate and rise, and finally exceeded the observation range of the ground.

around.

"Are we going to let them go like this?" The second officer beside Captain Donovan, who had a bruised nose and face, asked Captain Donovan unwillingly.

Captain Donovan glanced at this guy. Then he asked: "Be polite to your enemies. Is this my style?"

All the crew members shook their heads. Although Captain Donovan was young, he never broke his promise when commanding them to fight, so they all believed in Captain Donovan.

Just after everyone nodded. Captain Donovan suddenly said to the sailors: "Am I really going to leave like this? No. I will never do that. In fact, when you come back and turn around with the battleship, .I have

We asked our friends to do something very interesting. "

Just as Captain Donovan was happily talking to others, the battleship on the other side also began to slowly turn around after completing the supply, just when the battleship had just weighed anchor. Suddenly I heard a loud bang,

The whole port shook, and the ship instantly turned into a big fireball.

Of course, this explosion was not an accident, but because the gold coins helped Captain Donovan install some explosives under the opponent's warship. The power of these explosives is actually not great. The key is that the opponent is a battleship, and the cannons used by battleships in this era

They are all loaded with gunpowder, and their matchlocks also require gunpowder. Therefore, these battleships are equipped with a large amount of gunpowder. In this case, when the thing on the bottom of the ship exploded, the things on the battleship also exploded, so

As a result, the entire port was almost overturned.

"The effect looks good!"

Christina and the others who were leaning on the side of the ship saw what was going on over there because of the observation magic I set up. They could see the whole process of the ship's explosion on the screen, so the gold coins felt that the effect was good. But to be honest, I also think it works

It was really good, and the other party was blown to pieces in an instant.

A little entertainment here, the navigator recalled by Captain Donovan performed quite well. The routes given by the two people were exactly the same. This means that it was not one person who remembered it wrong, but This is the correct route.

According to the two pilots, the docking place they found for us is a medium-sized port here. There are not many people in it, but the business is very developed. Landing in this city will help us find the next destination

clue. After all, compared to searching aimlessly in the wilderness and searching in the city, most people will choose to search in the city.

After confirming the course, we unexpectedly received a very strange signal. Then after I clicked to connect, I immediately realized that something was wrong, so I quickly asked Captain Donovan and the others to find us a quiet room. , and then

Ask Christina and the others to come in together and thoroughly expand the communication.

"Matsumasa congratulations?" Christina was obviously stunned when she saw the person in the picture. In fact, not only Christina, but also the rose on one side was stunned.

"That's wrong!" Gold Coin also shouted: "Aren't we in the mission space? How can we receive your signal? Could it be that you have also entered the game?"

There is a reason why the gold coin says "you", because there is more than just Song Zhenghe in the communication screen. In fact, there are many people around Song Zhenghe, except for August Xun, Yingyu Shenchu, and Blazing Dragon Princess. In addition, it actually appeared

A few new faces I hadn't seen before.

Now we face two problems. First, normally Matsumasa and the others should not be able to contact us at all now. The mission space is independent. Although our crystal communicator system is relatively good, it is not good enough to be able to cross the space.

to the point of broadcasting. So just get into the mission. Moreover, the mission location is a closed map. If it is not connected to the main map world, our crystal communicator will become a decoration. In addition to allowing several people entering the mission to communicate with each other within a certain range,

Outside of communication, this set of things becomes complete waste.

Faced with this situation, we have thought of many ways. It is said that the research institutions of the Frost Rose Alliance have invested a lot in this area, but for some unknown reason, we just can't find a solution.

In fact, in addition to the question of how Matsumasa and the others contacted us, I am more concerned about the second question now, which is why Matsumasa and the others will appear in our picture together with several new faces.

We have always kept the affairs of Matsumasa and August Kaoru as spies in Japan as top secrets. Even the top leaders of the guild only knew part of it recently. And even now there are still many high-level members of the guild

I don't know about this. In other words, we here ensure that Song Zhenghe's spy identity will not be leaked, and even our own people will be deceived. However, Song Zhenghe actually appeared in the picture with a stranger, and with me

When we contact you. This is equivalent to saying that Song Zhenghe handed over all the secrets between himself and us to these people. As long as they go out and spread the word about what they just saw. Then we won't have any problem though. But Matsumasa congratulates himself

The things you worked so hard on in Japan will collapse in an instant. And things are completely reversed. Japanese players cannot accept the fact that their supreme leader is actually a spy of the Frost Rose Alliance.

In any case, it is against the rules for Matsu Masagi to bring this person into the picture, so this thing is very weird.

"How can I answer you asking so many questions at once?" Song Zhenghe heard the questions from us like machine guns and didn't know how to answer.

Christina said directly: "Let me get to the point. First, how did you contact us?"

"This is actually very simple, because we activated the Gate of Truth in the guild and then got a communication opportunity. We can maintain communication with you during the mission for three hours."

Unexpectedly, it was the communication opportunity obtained by using the Gate of Truth. Theoretically, at the Gate of Truth, as long as you make a wish and then complete the task, your wish will come true. However, there is one thing to note, that is the difficulty of this task and what you need

It’s about the value of things. Therefore, Song Zhenghe knew very well how valuable what he got this time was, because he knew how much the loss was.

After explaining the reason for establishing this communication, Christina asked again: "So this problem is solved, now tell us, who are the people around you?"

"About these people...in fact, they are not players, but NPCs." After Matsumasa finished speaking, he continued: "They are just a group of ordinary NPCs living in Japan, but we have recently developed them into One

A powerful spy force. "

Song Zhenghe explained this situation to us very excitedly, and we quickly understood what Matsu Zhenghe meant. These are all self-NPCs. They are self-NPCs that would be ignored by players on the street, not because of how crooked they are.

Normal, but because they are too normal. There are a large number of self-NPCs in each city, so players will be able to ignore these existences, so that they will not care about the actions of the self-NPCs. This situation led to the birth of an idea, that

That is, if the NPC cannot be used in combat, what if it is for intelligence collection?

Because the players do not pay attention to the existence of their own NPCs, they sometimes even discuss some confidential issues in front of their own NPCs, but they never avoid these issues because they never regard these guys as their own.

What a threat it is.

However, once these self-NPCs are trained into specialized intelligence collectors, as long as they are combined with some simple intelligence processors, a large amount of useful information can be obtained. By simply summarizing this information, a lot of useful information can be obtained.

intelligence. Of course, these things will be very difficult to deal with, but our Frost Rose Alliance can solve this problem perfectly, because our Frost Rose Alliance has a bug-like existence - the God of War.

The God of War serves as the intelligence center and logistics command system of the Frost Rose Alliance. His energy is very powerful. Coupled with the identity of an electronic computer, the God of War can handle a large amount of various battlefield information. These are collected from NPCs

Information is meaningless in other guilds because there is no time to process it, but it is different here. We have the God of War, so we can collect and combine this information and get useful things.

"Did you find anything when you contacted us at this time?" Christina asked. (To be continued...)
