Chapter 30: Dream catcher

The oath meeting was very brief. In the afternoon, the Houyi and Xingtian were already on the rippling sea. In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, they chose to sail slightly away from the coastline. Although I had encountered other ships during the two ships' sea trials before, and some people sneaked a sneak peek nearby, and it was not a big secret that the two large ships in Bailang City were bought by people for conversion. However, one thing is not as good as one less, Xiao Chen is not afraid of trouble but hates trouble to get together.
On the bridge of the Houyi, Jerez stood next to Xiao Chen and fiddled with a telescope. This is the military telescope that comes standard with the Tower of China, and a gift from Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen saw this middle-aged man with a novel look, and all his attention was focused on the telescope.
Jerez suddenly made this request when the fleet set sail, and wanted to come on board. There are three old brothers outside him. Of course, Xiao Chen welcomes such an old captain, but he still has to ask him what he really thinks.
Xiao Chen asked curiously, "Mr. Jerez, are you really going to follow us to the sea of ​​violent? The sailors I recruited here are mostly young people without family members who go out to fight for their own future Yes, but you still have your family in Shuangfan City. I certainly need an experienced navigator like you, but ... "
Jerez said, "Master Xiao Chen, I know how dangerous it is to go to the raging sea, but when I listen to you at the oath meeting below, I want to climb the ship immediately and follow you! No , Think about it again. I did n’t have this idea today. I participated in your entire shipbuilding process. I had such an idea long ago. You know that the raging sea is a nightmare for seafarers, but there are many The place where people are desperately trying to take a look, which sailor never thought of conquering that place when he was young? Being able to cross the raging sea and reach the western continent, you are just like the legendary captains! This is The dream of all sea people.
Although I am not a master of navigation, I have thought about it this way. There is now an opportunity in front of me. I have watched the methods you used to transform ships these days, and there is a voice in my heart saying that if such a person does not succeed in going to the raging sea, no one can succeed. And I have only one chance to achieve this goal in my life, that is, to get on board with them. Just do whatever you want, just give me a chance to go together.
Those who walked to the sea said they would do it, so I came. As for my family, they have their own destiny, and I gave them enough money to survive, and I can't control that much. "
Xiao Chen said, "Then I will understand. You and your companions can now serve as consultants on our ship. Many of your experiences cannot be bought by us."
"Adult. It's not me who boasted. In terms of knowledge and experience at sea, there are not many people who can compare with me in the area of ​​Shuangfan City. The old guys with more experience than me are mostly out of the sea." He Luis said.
"You should also be proficient in naval warfare?"
Seeing Jerez froze, Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Your old folks are very interested in our pneumatic guns. I have paid attention to their discussions. It sounds like some ideas, such as how to fire the gun first, then jump to help What kind of wind combat is more advantageous, etc., must be those who have fought a lot of naval battles, otherwise these things cannot be figured out. "

Jerez showed a hint of embarrassment, he said, "Adult, walking on the sea, mariners and pirates are not so distinct. I admit that I have also done some costless business, but most of the time Others came to provoke my results. At that time, our boat was small and was often looked down upon by bullies, but fortunately, I and my old brothers had a few times, and those who robbed us often, but we were later overturned by ourselves. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't talk about size. Generally, as long as money and goods are available, I won't kill them all. We in the southern city-states are all about rules.
But the robbers of the Hai tribe are different. They are really murderous pirates. Merchant ships are often killed after they are intercepted, or they take all their water, cut off their masts, and let them die of thirst at sea. These talents are the biggest threat to marine businessmen. So our southern city-state has been fighting pirates at sea. Speaking of being pirates, many are also the army of their tribe.
If you want to pass the Pearl Islands, you must meet them. To be honest, if your two ships sail into the Pearl Islands, you might encounter some trouble. "
"How to say?"
"The style of these two ships is a battleship at first glance. Maybe the Hai people who have no brains will think that we are provoking or preparing to attack one of their islands. Maybe they will launch an attack on us."
"Has the relationship between the Hai nationality and the southern city-state been so intense?"
"The sea tribe and the southern city-state are like water and fire. They have never lived in harmony." Jerez said. "The sea tribe and the orcs are composed of many tribes. Some tribes are more friendly to us, but more There is a conflict between the tribe and us, they are better for the merchant ships, and one of the dozens of merchant ships is robbed. In most cases, the business can still be done. After all, they also need all kinds of materials produced on the mainland. But for Warships, they will not be so polite. They will think that we are looting their troops and are likely to fight us. "
Xiao Chendao "As far as I know, these contradictions are not unilateral problems of the Hai nationality. The southern city-states have not done less to plunder the Hai nationality? I heard that some nobles in the southern city-states of the kingdom have raised and traded Hai nationals Slave habits. "
Jerez said, "You are a leader. Naturally, you know that this kind of problem accumulated over the centuries can no longer be used for who is right or wrong. The army of the southern city-state will rob the Hai tribe, and the Hai tribe also Will come to rob the mainland villages and towns, which has been the case for thousands of years. However, in the past few hundred years, we still have an advantage in general. After all, when the Black Dragon Empire tried to invade the mainland, it gave It ’s a great lesson for the Hai people. They have n’t eased their breath for hundreds of years. In the past few years, the coalition forces of our southern city-states have been able to win about 70% of the battles.

"Are you talking about the war against the invasion of the Hai people led by Emperor Rick in the last year of the Black Dragon Empire?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Yes, it is the savior Rick Saint."
