Relying on the sea to eat the sea is not realistic for an island country with an endless sea.
There is a certain quality in the sea water, which is extremely corrosive. Even an extraordinary person cannot survive for a few minutes even if he dives into the water. Only the local sea monsters can survive.
Sea monsters are huge in size, but most of them are inedible. However, through the successive attempts of countless ancestors, the Principality of Blue Water discovered several sea monsters that are not only edible, but also extremely delicious, and are deeply loved by the upper class nobles.
"If you take the essence of an imperial-level sea catfish, you can at least sell it... sell it... and exchange it for a baron title!"
As members of a big foodie empire, although the crew of the initial ship has only been sailing at sea for more than a month, they have already dug quite deep into the sea monster ingredients.
There is nothing much going on at sea, except for Mahjong, Landlord, Three Kingdoms, etc., the only thing left is to fight sea monsters.
For each newly emerged sea monster, a dedicated person uses a "detection crystal" to detect its properties, including but not limited to edibility, and records it in the new species illustration - the sea monster illustration, and some even come with it. cooking method.
I don’t know when it started. One of the several attributes analyzed by the “Detection Crystal” must be related to ‘food’.
A level three edible sea monster, everyone on the ship is very greedy. Such a big one can be eaten for at least two... a day and a half.
Then they saw several ships one or two sizes smaller parked a few hundred meters away, and the sound of chirping could be heard in the distance.
"What are they talking about?"
"It seems to be saying... is this sea monster theirs? Do you want us to return it?"
There are "linguistic masters" who have passed level 4 and 6... that is, crew members who understand spiritual translation and explain to other awakening-level crew members.
Lorraine and others communicated without any barriers and analyzed each other's language immediately.
She made a gesture, and a sailor raised a black and white flag with two scimitars crossed and a skull painted on it.
"Uh-huh, we're pirates now!"
Art is the language that circulates in all worlds. Although the people on the opposite ship don't recognize the famous pirate flag,... the flag with the skull painted on it doesn't look very beautiful no matter how you look at it.
Lorraine, who was wearing a tight-fitting leather trousers, jumped up from the bow of the ship. She could not control the air, but her toes touched the air, and a ball of air exploded. She clicked several times and landed on the opponent's flagship.
She put her fingers on the revolver in the holster and raised it...
"boom-"
A yellow-orange bullet flew out and hit the main mast of the flagship. In an instant, rune patterns were about to appear on the main mast, but before it was fully realized, it was completely penetrated.
With a bang, the defense runes shattered, and yellow-orange bullets penetrated the main mast of the flagship. Click, creak... The huge hardwood main pole broke and smashed into the sea water, causing the ship to shake violently.
"Surrender, or die."
Lorraine made a domineering declaration.
On the flagship, the captain and the first and second mates looked at each other... What was she talking about
However, they were still conscientious and knelt down immediately. They knew how hard the main mast of the flagship was. It was difficult to destroy even the third-level sea monster, and it was untouchable.
At this moment,
Others have quickly approached in small boats and taken control of the remaining armed fishing boats.
Zhushuli came to several people who were obviously the leaders, his eyes were bright, and illusions invaded the minds of several people.
"Tell me your story... ahem, origin."
"We belong to the Blue Water Principality, the fishing fleet of Earl Purple Agate... Earl Purple Agate is a powerful noble... The Blue Water Principality is currently at war with the Nucang Principality to the west... "
The Principality of Blue Water is an archipelago country with a total of thirteen large islands and several small islands.
The Earl of Purple Agate is a powerful nobleman of the Blue Water Principality. He is one of the heroes who follows the Blue Water Principality and controls one of the large islands.
"Shall we... get the sea chart from the Blue Water Principality now? The Blue Water Principality should have a lot of information about the nearby sea areas, and with the strength shown by the Blue Water Principality, it is not difficult to obtain the sea chart."
Xie exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "I don't think there is any need to rush. Looking for the Nether Sea Crystal is not a task that can be completed in a short time. In contrast, we have been sailing at sea for more than a month. I am drifting when I walk now. The top priority is to rely on Rest on the shore and sample the local food and wine.”
These words touched Lorraine's heart. She nodded in agreement, rested her chin on her hand, and thought seriously:
"Moreover, we must pass through many places in the process of searching for the Nether Sea Crystal. Isn't it too wasteful to only look for sea charts? We can also make some extra money. It just so happens that the Blue Water Principality is at war, and in my space ring, It just so happens to be filled with a ring full of war supplies.”
"If it's out of stock, wouldn't it be nice to ask the lord to come over and open a teleportation array?" Zhu Shuli looked up at Lorraine, not quite understanding.
"Trading with the goods I bring is called making extra money. When the lord opens the teleportation array, it will be the income of the territory, understand? This is why I can open bars all over Green Shade City and all sub-territories, and you The reason why you still owe me money for drinks.”
"I...how can I be considered owed money if I drink wine based on my ability..."
Based on the two factors of "no acquaintance without fighting" and "physical persuasion", the captain of the fishing fleet introduced Earl Purple Agate to Lorraine and others.
Yes, he is a very conscientious captain of the fishing boat. He is also a nobleman in the Blue Water Principality, and he is also a 'big shot' who can directly meet the Count Purple Agate.
This is not surprising,
In the Endless Sea, ships are strategic weapons, and fishing boats catch sea monsters. Even the smallest sea monster is enough to overturn an ordinary ship twenty or thirty meters long.
The initial number docked at a certain port on Purple Agate Island. It had the endorsement of the captain of the fishing boat, so the identity issue was not a big problem.
There are not many ships docked at the port, but each one is at least fifty meters in length. Without small ships, it is impossible to survive in the endless sea.
"Come with me, the Earl happened to return from the war with the Grand Duke not long ago."
Purple Agate Island is quite large. It has a main city and eighteen ordinary cities. The Earl's Castle is located next to the main city.
It was already evening when they arrived at the count's castle.
Lorraine, Zhushuli, Xie and a few crew members followed the captain of the fishing boat. For those crew members who were born and raised in the mountain and sea world, Earl Purple Agate's castle was luxurious and revealed a sense of historical vicissitudes. feel.
The captain of the fishing boat led the way and proudly introduced the history of the Purple Agate family. When passing by a garden,
Swish swish—
Figures appeared on the courtyard wall, holding rune crossbows and pointing at Lorraine and the others with a cold light.
The way they came had been blocked, and a large number of armored soldiers came from behind.
ahead,
A middle-aged man wearing luxurious robes slowly stepped forward, guarded by dozens of powerful auras.
He raised his chin slightly, with a hint of complacency at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes fell on Lorraine and others.
"I heard that you want to see me?"
He thought he had taken control of the situation and guessed the opponent's purpose. A bit of contempt flashed in his eyes, but he quickly restrained:
"Even if there is some force, pirates are just pirates and cannot stand on the stage. Of course, I am a talent-loving person. As long as you go with me to conquer the Nucang Principality and make military exploits, in the future, you will also be able to obtain a title and become a knight. Noble nobles... isn't this exactly what you want?"
But now the control is in my hands.
He thought, with a smile on his face and his chin raised slightly, waiting for Lorraine's answer.
Lorraine: Do you... seem stupid
