Chapter 126 Salvaging the Sunken Ship
A day later, another animal skin notice was nailed on the bulletin board outside the west gate of Ratchet Village. This time, the content of the notice was that the Murloc Village wanted to charge a high price for Kodo cubs.
"Let the adventurers do it, so that the Murlocs in the village don't meet the Kokar Centaurs in the Dead Water Oasis under the thunder." Yang Yi thought to himself.
After thinking for a day, Yang Yi finally decided to let the adventurers do the stealing of Kodo cubs. After all, there are all kinds of talents among adventurers, and they can think of all kinds of incredible ideas.
It may not be easy for adventurers to deal with groups of adult Kodo beasts, but it is definitely more effective to let them steal eggs than a large group of fighting Murlocs.
Yang Yi watched the Murloc merchant nail the new notice on the bulletin board, and then he walked to the Murloc hut area west of Ratchet Village.
With the continuous development of Ratchet Village, the Murlocs in the village are not only pursuing to fill their stomachs. Many Murlocs have begun to have the time and energy to show off their uniqueness and superiority.
The ground in the fishman hut area is much cleaner now. Many fishman huts are hung with various fishman handicrafts made of coral and shells, as well as various forms of mats woven with water grass.
The most popular in the fishman village is the body of the lobster man, the mortal enemy of the fishman. In order to show off the lobster man body they got, many fishmen deliberately propped up long wooden poles in the fishman huts. The heads, lobster claws, lobster back shells and other bodies of the lobster man are hung at the highest point like flags on the wooden poles.
Yang Yi came to a fishman hut that had just been built. Several fishmen were guarding around the hut. A blue fishman and two undead jackals were sitting on the platform of the hut.
"Village chief, you are finally here! Woohoo, we have been waiting for you for a long time. Ah woohoo, we want to join the Thorntooth Fishman Village."
The blue fishman Mojitov cried and screamed immediately when he saw Yang Yi coming. The sound was so miserable that it was touching.
"Stop, I'll take you into the village." Yang Yi hurriedly stopped. He often imagined that every day there would be a lot of murlocs crying and hugging his thighs begging to join the Ratchet Village, but when he really met them, he really couldn't stand it.
As soon as Yang Yi opened his mouth, the blue murloc Mojitov immediately added a "Faction: Ratchet Village" information to his attributes. This was probably the most straightforward time Yang Yi took in a murloc recently.
After Yang Yi agreed to take the murloc into the Ratchet Village, Mojitov immediately burst into laughter, and his expression changed so quickly that it could be called amazing.
Yang Yi couldn't help but sigh as he watched the blue murloc's expression change. "This murloc, he was born as an actor, but it's okay, at least it means he is not a stupid murloc. As long as he is not stupid, he is a talent for the murloc."
"Why did you come to Kalimdor from the Eastern Kingdoms?" Yang Yi asked.
"We didn't want to come to Kalimdor, we just got lost on the sea."
"Lost? And then we crossed the Endless Sea and came here?"
Mojitov sighed heavily: "After we arrived at the sea, we found that there was no navigator, so we lost our way on the sea. Later, we encountered a big storm at sea, and the mast and rudder were damaged, and then..."
Mojitov told the story in detail. It turned out that Mojitov and two undead gnolls found a stranded small sea boat together. The three of them worked hard to repair the sea boat, so the three of them immediately rushed to sea for a trial.
Among the three people, the fishman Mojitov had learned navigation command from the humans in Gilneas, so he naturally became the captain. The two undead gnolls were also talented. One of them knew how to control the sails and the other knew how to control the rudder.
The three thought that such a combination was enough to ensure safety when going out to sea, but when the small sea boat sailed into the vast ocean, they discovered a problem. There was no navigator among them.
Then the tragedy happened.
"As expected of murlocs and gnolls, they are both stupid, but they can still build a ship that can go to sea."
After listening to the story of the murloc Mojitov, Yang Yi felt that it was God's will that the three of them could come to Kalimdor alive. How many people made full preparations to cross the Endless Sea but eventually died in the vast sea. They actually came to Kalimdor from the Eastern Kingdoms in such a muddle.
"You can build a ship, right? We have a shipyard in our village. Because no murloc can build a ship, it has been idle until now." Yang Yi thought of the shipyard in the village, and he had always wanted to use this building.
"Village chief, I can't build a ship, I can only repair it."
"It's okay to repair a ship. Can the ship you crashed be repaired?"
"It's too broken, it's fallen apart, and it can't be repaired."
Yang Yi was disappointed. It seems that the shipyard will have to be idle.
"Mojitov can only repair simple ships." The murloc Mojitov explained.
"Simple ship repair? Then there are several holes under the ship, and it sank to the bottom of the sea. Can such a ship be repaired?" Yang Yi suddenly remembered something.
"It's just a few holes. If the ship has not been sunk for a long time, it should be possible." Mojitov replied.
"Not long, one or two months."
Yang Yi thought of the transport ships that were sunk by the blackfin murlocs and the murlocs of the canyon village before. They were transporting food, weapons and other supplies to the northern castle. Those ships were basically sunk. Maybe one or two were not damaged too badly, but it would be difficult to salvage them.
After a ship sinks to the bottom of the sea, it is no longer the same as floating on the water. The weight of the ship and the resistance of the sea water make it twice as difficult to salvage.
"But human ships are made of wood, and fishmen are naturally suitable for activities in the water. I don't believe that sending hundreds or thousands of fishmen can't do it."
The fishmen who repaired the ship finally came to the fishman village. It happened that a shipwreck had just occurred near the Ratchet Bay not long ago. Yang Yi wanted to salvage the shipwreck this time no matter how much effort he spent.
In order to salvage the shipwreck, dozens of fishman hunters were sent out to search for the location of the shipwreck, and the weaving fishmen in the village also began to weave thick straw ropes for salvaging the shipwreck.
In the following days, the fishmen in the Ratchet Village were busy.
During this period of time, the surroundings of the Ratchet Village finally became quiet, and the fishmen in the Ratchet Village took this opportunity to work hard to develop.
The shellfish farms and algae farms in the Thorntooth Village have been upgraded to village level 2 one by one. The number of surf crabs and spiny turtles raised in the village's murloc livestock farm has increased. The murloc hunters sent to Durotar have brought back several spotted boar cubs, and a tall wall has been built in the valley where the kodo beasts are raised.
