Chapter 14: Explorers Association

　　The group dispersed in the port and began to busy with their own affairs.
　　 After Charles went to the bank and deposited 1 million echoes into his account, he rushed to the shipyard.
　　 His heart beats so fast along the way. Charles hasn't felt this way for a long time, as if it was the first time he confessed to a girl.
　　 In a shipyard full of steel, Charles was received by an old man with two attendants. He was the owner of the shipyard.
　　 "Hello, gentleman, what do you need?"
　　 "I need an exploration ship."
　　 When I heard that Charles didn't want a cargo ship or a fishing boat, the old man showed a shocked expression on his face when he was exploring the ship.
　　 "Sir, are you sure it's an explorer ship? Did you apply for the Explorers Association?" He hesitated to confirm again
　　 "Not yet, can't I buy a ship without applying?"
　　 Wood heard the slight displeasure in the customer's words, and quickly explained.
　　 "No, no, of course, I just want to confirm it. After all, there are fewer and fewer adventurous people like you."
　　Exploring an island, of course, is a huge profit. Thousands of losers can be behind those who succeed.
　　 The emergence of turbines allows humans to set foot in more unknown seas. Humans are looking for new homes for humans. They once thought that they were about to conquer this sea.
　　 It is a pity that humans are not the protagonist here. After all, there are only a few islands that are easy to explore. There are more various extremely dangerous islands, strange natives and deep seabeds, which gave them a head start.
There are more and more missing exploration ships, and more and more people lose their husbands and children. Death finally cools down human beings. Slowly, people no longer regard the exploration ships as heroes, but call them secretly as fools looking for death. .
　　Wood remembers that the last time the person who bought the exploration ship was five years ago, and that guy died in the sea for granted.
　　 "Guest, what kind of boat do you need, please tell me."
　　 "The ship should not be too big, within 70 meters in length, the power must be a brilliant turbine, and the front gun must be a 125mm rifled gun." Charles said all in a snap.
　　 In order to go home, he has been preparing for too long, and he has already engraved the various configurations of the exploration ships in his heart.
　　 The transaction went on very quickly, and an hour later, Charles saw the appearance of his new ship.
　　 The streamlined white hull is neatly lined with rivets, which is several times thicker than the mouse.
　　 The thicker chimney invisibly proves the powerful power of the ship’s turbine.
　　 At first glance, I thought it was just a bigger refurbished mouse. But the industrial artillery on the foredeck distinguishes Limara from second-hand cargo ships.
　　Length: 65 meters, width: 10 meters, draft: 5.5 meters
　　 "This is it, when can it be launched?"
　　 "Some of the furnishings in the cabin have not been fixed yet. It is estimated that it will take half a month to launch it in an expedited manner. The price is 3.5 million echo coins,"
　　 Charles silently estimated the amount, "My account is just enough, and then sell the Mouse, and the materials for the next exploration will be enough."
　　 "Okay, you can get it done as soon as possible. I will pick up the ship in half a month."
　　 After coming out of the shipyard, Charles went straight to the Explorers Association.
　　 After having the exploration ship, I joined the Explorers Association, which is a loose organization found on human islands. The members are the captain of the exploration ship.
　　 Of course, it does not mean that you must join. It is just something that is good for you. Charles will not refuse.
　　 Explorers Association is not far from the dock area, the white stone building is very eye-catching.
　　 Charles glanced at the ship sign hung on the upper part of the building and walked in.
　　 was very big and empty inside, and he could hear the echo of his footsteps when he walked in.
Inside 　　, except for a few counters in the distance, there were only a few men and women sitting sporadically on the sofa on the left. The tricorne hats on the table proved that they were the same as Charles.
　　 While Charles looked at them, they were also curiously looking at the raw faces at the door.
　　 Simply distinguishing the words above the counter, Charles walked to the counter on the far left, and while he was filling out the application form with a quill, a white arm was wrapped around his neck.
　　 "Huh." Charles touched his waist with his right hand, and the muzzle of the revolver had reached the belly of the man behind him.
　　 A slightly hoarse female voice sounded in his ear, "Relax, newcomer, this is not the sea, there is no danger."
　　 The man let go of Charles' neck, pulled a stool, and sat down by his feet.
　　 Lai Ren is a woman with bright white hair, long straight legs and an attractive curve with her chest deliberately exposed.
　　 If she doesn't consider her oppressive height of nearly two meters, any man wants to get close to her.
　　 Compared to beauty, Charles cares more about the stick around her waist, which seems to be her weapon. There are very few women going to sea, but none of the women who can survive at sea are idle.
　　 "What's the matter?" Charles took the gun back.
　　 "It's been a long time since I saw the newcomer, come and meet me, my name is Elizabeth, the captain of the Black Rose, my dear, what is your name?" the giant beauty asked with a smile on her mouth.
　　 Charles did not answer, filling in the application form, UU reading www. The harsh sea environment of uukanshu.com made him not interested in dealing with strangers.
　　 But the woman next to her didn't seem to leave with self-interest.
　　 A fragrant fragrance drifted by, and Elizabeth moved her head over and peeped at Charles' application form brazenly.
　　 "Charles? What a good name, ah, that place is not very important, just write it casually."
　　 A brawny man on the sofa in the distance said with a smile and said: "Elizabeth, when I came here once, why were you not so enthusiastic."
　　 Elizabeth gave him a disdainful look. "Of course you are different from him, and I don't want to sleep with you. Why should I help you."
　　 The brawny man didn't get angry either, he clapped his thigh and laughed with his companions.
　　 With a "pull", Charles poked a hole in the application form.
　　 He had guessed that this woman's motives were impure, but he really didn't expect this motive. The women who can eat at sea are indeed extraordinary.
　　 Ignoring Elizabeth next to him, Charles quickly finished writing and handed it over.
　　 The staff member took the application form and put in various gears to operate it skillfully.
　　 Elizabeth didn't care at all, and the man in front of her ignored her, and continued to speak for herself.
　　 "Charles, it's the first time you are here. Let me introduce to you. The role of the Explorers Association is actually very simple. It is to help us find a new island."
　　 "Of course this is not free. As long as you join the association, any captain will become a governor in the future, and an explorer branch must be opened on his island."
　　 Charles interrupted her, "Thank you for the reminder, I have known this for a long time, no need to remind."
　　 "Huh? It seems that Mr. Charles did a lot of preparations before he came. Will he be free later? Do you want to sit on my boat?"
