[Everyone, please note that according to the radar display, a fleet of five was found at the 10 o'clock direction of the ship.]
Just as "Fortune" has no radar transmitter and receiver at all, but the control room still has radar functions, "Fortune" also has no sound transmission equipment such as speakers, but it is still temporarily in the control room in some way. The voices of 40 of Deliz's work are carried throughout the ship.
"Pirates?!" Liz jumped up immediately.
A normal person is worried about the pirates coming, but he expects the pirates to come.
Murong Jiu, who was not interested in fighting pirates, said calmly, "It's probably a caravan at sea, right? It's close to land now, so it's normal to meet others."
"...If our route wasn't so strange, we should have met it long ago." Wang Yuanji added.
With the sailing method of this era, ocean currents and wind directions need to be considered on the route. However, the "God of Fortune" completely ignores these problems, and has always rushed to the destination at a constant speed in a straight line, completely avoiding the routes of other merchant ships.
"Disappointed~~" Liz's shoulders slumped.
Liu Mengli smiled and said, "Hehe... Xianggong should go to the control room first. 40 They should be waiting for your order at this time."
"Well, yes, what is it, you have to see it before you know it~~"
…
Rafael Castello, the son of a wealthy family in Lisbon, Portugal, inexplicably longed to become a sailor, and wanted to stand on his own from the protection of his family. Custer Road Chamber of Commerce.
Maybe Raphael is born to be a captain, maybe Raphael will make many talents on the journey, maybe Raphael will touch all kinds of fateful stories... But in Raphael, he will become the overlord of the sea, "Karma" Before the Structural Chamber of Commerce became a super chamber of commerce, he was now just the captain of a small fleet of five medium-sized sailboats, and the chairman of a chamber of commerce who still owed tens of thousands of start-up capital to veteran sailors.
A few days ago, he just took a trip to the Mediterranean Sea, reselling goods in major cities, and making a lot of money following the trend of this era of great sailing. After completing supplies in Serbia, I purchased local specialties, and I was planning to bring the sailors back to the old Lisbon happily to enjoy the wealth brought by this trip to sea, but I didn’t expect to encounter strange things on the way—
"What, what to do? Raphael, that weird guy is chasing after him!"
A large ship larger than the Spanish invincible battleship, strange shape, golden color, no sails, no oars, in the eyes of ordinary people is a "weird guy", which is really thanks to Sedum's extraordinary aesthetics.
"How can such a huge hull sail at such a high speed without sails and oars?" Raphael, who was standing on the deck observing the pursued "God of Fortune" with binoculars, muttered, "Could it be that he has A previously unknown way of powering...?"
"Raphael, think about this kind of thing later! The important thing is now!" the friend shouted, and this situation suddenly happened, and now the captain's judgment and command are most needed.
"Yeah... think about it later," Raphael nodded, handed the telescope in his hand to his friend, took a few steps forward, and shouted to all the busy sailors on the deck, "the other party's speed is farther than ours. Above, the size is not known how many times that of us, so we can't escape, let alone fight head-on. Now let the sails and anchor immediately, the sailors go to the cabin to prepare their weapons, let me negotiate first, and don't come out unless it is absolutely necessary! There is a silver lining!"
"...Yes!" The sailors hesitated for a moment, but still responded loudly to the order.
They all know that this is the rhythm to "drop", but what can be done about it? They are just a small fleet of a chamber of commerce, not an invincible fleet of Spain. They are going to fight this kind of guy who can't see the details
This may seem very useless, especially as the captain of Raphael, but compared to blindly dying, surrender can still survive anyway, leaving Qingshan without worrying about no firewood.
"Raphael, I'll stay with you." The friend patted Raphael's shoulder with a hearty smile.
"Well, thank you." Raphael nodded, returning a refined smile.
Since they went to sea, they have been friends since childhood, and they have long been friends of life and death. No one knows that the sea will play a joke on them one day, and it is not impossible to die together at sea.
It didn't take long for the Fortuna to catch up after their fleet gave up on a pointless escape.
"... woo!" Even though the "God of Fortune" has slowed down in advance, the waves caused by such a large ship still caused Raphael and others' boats to rise and fall violently, and they stayed on the deck with Raphael. Several people must firmly support the objects around them so as not to fall.
"Oh my God... What the hell is this? It's too big!" They were even more shocked when they watched it up close. They were also fortunate enough to visit the main ship of the Spanish Armada, and the size was far smaller than the one in front of them. this thing!
Even when they were worried about their own lives, everyone couldn't help but be very curious about it. What the hell is this ship? Who is driving this ship
They can't get real answers to these two questions in their lives, but they can see the people above immediately.
"I'm sorry," Liz asked Raphael, who came out and asked, "Little brother, do you have any goods on board?"
"?" Raphael was stunned for a moment, not to mention that the pirates would never come to ask if there was any goods before they started. What the hell is Liz's "sorry"... It's just stunned, the situation is better than people, Raphael I still answered honestly, "... There are velvets, cotton fabrics, and armor." The Serbian specialty "muskets" are also produced in Lisbon, so Raphael did not purchase them.
"Uh, why is this kind of thing?" Liz turned around and asked Sedum who had just run out of the cabin, "Do you want to buy this kind of product too?"
"I need to think about the armor, everything else is needed!" Sedum quickly walked to the edge of the boat, and also stuck his head out, "Little brother, how is the price, how is the quality, if there is no problem, can we buy it here? ?"
"Huh...?" Raphael looked bewildered, and after looking at his friend next to him, he couldn't help but ask, "Well, who are you two?"
"Huh? We are serious businessmen~" Sedum patted his chest and said, "We are the "God of Wealth Chamber of Commerce" from a mysterious country in the far east!"
"???"
Are you kidding me
Does it mean we Portuguese have never been to Asia? How can there be such a strange ship in Asia!
