Views:

At noon that day, after a brief ceremony to worship the gods, the large offshore windmill slowly left the pier under the leadership of the guide boat. wWw.QUAbEn-XIAoShUo.CoM

On the pier, there were a large group of well-dressed men and women seeing off the windmill. They were all shareholders of the three major whale hunting companies in Dunerker. Every time a whale hunting ship sets out, a large number of shareholders will come to pray for the whale hunting ship for good luck and hope that they will have a good harvest.

Narwhal, this is a high-level monster whose whole body is valuable. The three-meter-long horn on its head is a weapon material that all forging masters are crazy about. Each horn can be turned into a magic weapon whose value cannot be measured with gold coins. Sharp weapon.

The skin of the mad whale is the best material for making soft armor. Having a piece of close-fitting soft armor made from the skin of the Narwhal Whale is equivalent to saving several lives. The whale skin soft armor engraved with a protective magic circle is extremely resistant to physical and magical damage. It is a life-saving treasure that all the high-ranking officials on the road and all the timid people who are afraid of death can only dream of possessing.

The meat of mad whales is delicious and can enhance a person's physical strength and fighting spirit. The meat of every mad narwhal whale will be purchased at a large price by the Logistics Department of the Imperial Army. Some of the empire's elite secret troops use the meat of the Narwhal Whale as their staple food, so the individual strength of the soldiers in those elite secret troops is extremely astonishing. The military of every country on the continent hopes that their elite troops can consume the meat of the mad narwhal all year round, but for the time being the only countries on the continent that have such strength are the Gallic Empire and the Vias Commercial Federation.

As for the mad whale's blood, it is the best secret medicine neutralizer, and many high-level secret medicines require it. The oil extracted from the viscera of the mad whale has the miraculous effect of tonifying the kidneys and aphrodisiacs for old men, and has the magical effect of removing wrinkles and restoring youth to old women. At the same time, this oil is also one of the necessary fuel and raw materials for those magic blacksmiths.

Even the bones of the mad whale are extremely valuable. Its bones are white and delicate, and are more popular among dignitaries than the best ivory. Moreover, whale bones are extremely large, several times larger than ivory, and can be used to carve extra-large crafts. Each piece of whale bone carving is worth a sky-high price.

The eyes and magic core of the mad whale are completely priceless things, because these things are controlled by the empire, and no one can trade these treasures privately. The magic core of the Narwhal Whale is huge and is a necessary energy core for some large-scale battle-level magic arrays; its eyes are extremely precious magic materials and can be used to make extremely powerful wands or as one-time consumption magic props. When used, the power is unbelievable.

Therefore, every narwhal is worth a lot of money, and every narwhal can bring huge profits to the three major whale hunting companies in Dunerq, and can make the pockets of those large and small shareholders even bigger. Therefore, every time the whale hunting ship goes to sea, a large group of large and small shareholders come to see the whale hunting ship off as if they are sending off their elders.

The Big Windmill on the Sea is the latest to be launched among the twelve whale hunting boats of the three major whale hunting companies in Dunerker. It is huge in size and is much larger than other whale hunting boats. It is one hundred and twenty meters long. With a hull of several meters, a hull as high as several stories, and a deck more than ten meters wide, this is an out-and-out behemoth.

The main structure is built with hundreds of years of giant wood, and important parts are reinforced with metal. The outside of the hull is covered with a thumb-thick steel plate, with small defensive formations carved on it. Every whale-hunting ship is a main battleship of the Imperial Navy. During wartime, whale-hunting ships with these characteristics will be added to the navy's ranks by military signs.

The huge black windmill on the sea slowly left the harbor like a hill. Driven by the huge power generated by the magic array, the whale hunting ship sailed against the wind and inserted diagonally into the rough North Sea. …,

After the port of Dunerqi disappeared from sight, Lin Qi and Enzo walked out of the cabin. Wearing thick bearskin coats and a safety rope tied around their waists to prevent falling into the water, they stood on the deck and looked into the distance. . The strong wind whipped up big waves, and within sight you could see more than a dozen icebergs slowly drifting southward. On those icebergs, there were actually some unlucky ice-armored white bears or fat tusked seals.

"These unlucky guys, as soon as the iceberg reaches the shore, they will soon become the clothes on our bodies and the meat on our plates!" Lin Qi waved to the unlucky monsters standing blankly on the top of the iceberg: "Of course, Or maybe they will be sent to the Colosseum, as we bet the night before."

Taking a deep breath of the cold air, Lin Qi said with a smile: "We are rich! Enzo, we are rich! It is just like what my father taught me since I was a child - it is impossible to get rich by following the rules! If you want to get rich, , you must take risks and speak with your sword! Those two women are so rich, we are rich!"

Enzo's face turned a little pale. The big windmill on the sea was bumping in the waves. Occasionally the bow of the ship would tilt up to thirty degrees, which gave Enzo the feeling that the ship might capsize at any time. The strong wind was raging in his ears, big waves were beating against the deck, the sky and the ocean were all white, and Enzo couldn't tell which was the sky and which was the sea.

With a dry laugh, Enzo suppressed his nausea and asked: "Lin Qi, why did you only go to sea for fifteen days? Are they sure that they can hunt a narwhal whale in fifteen days?"

Lin Qi shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Oh, fifteen days is enough. They have special methods to attract those narwhals. And each whale hunting boat cannot hunt too many narwhals every year. , hunting two to three narwhals for fifteen days at a time, this is the limit!"

After laughing proudly for a few times, Lin Qi said with a smile: "If you have too much, it's not worth anything, Enzo! If you have too much, it's not worth anything! In order for our descendants to still rely on hunting narwhals to support their families, Dunerqi The three major whale hunting companies only provide twenty to thirty narwhals to the entire continent every year, and at most they only provide forty in a year, no more!"

After jumping on the deck a few times triumphantly, Lin Qi shouted loudly: "I love these big guys to death! Well, have you ever eaten fresh stewed whale whip?"

Enzo's face turned blue, he covered his mouth and said nothing, his body bouncing up and down along with the boat in embarrassment.

Lin Qi didn't notice anything wrong with Enzo. He recalled with great fascination: "I haven't eaten it either! Dad won't let me eat it! But, that thing is the most valuable treasure in the Narwhal Whale. Tsk, even more valuable than it." The magic core is still valuable, I really don’t know why so many kings and emperors send envoys to bid for this thing every year, oh, this is the only thing I don’t understand about the Narwhal Whale!”

With a 'wow' sound, Enzo vomited out. He knelt on the deck in embarrassment, vomiting until the sky was dark, and yellow-green bile spurted out.

"Oh! You newbie!"

When Lin Qi saw Enzo vomiting like crazy, he couldn't help but laugh loudly with schadenfreude.

"You're actually seasick, you unlucky rookie!"
