Chapter 16: Narwhal


   "What did you say?!...Have you been to this level 4 island?!" The surprised fat man's voice changed a little, and his expression was very wonderful.
   The other captains were equally shocked. Just now they were warning this man not to go to the island to find his death, but now he actually said he has finished exploring?
   "Why is there only a danger level on the island, but no reward?" Charles asked the next question.
   "Stop talking about it! When are you going to the island? What's on it!"
   Charles leans back slightly, avoiding the splash of fat man. "Futan taught me to go to the island to get something. Is there any problem? Everyone explores the island like this."
   Elizabeth is no longer calm at this time, a trace of blush appears on her white face, she looks a little excited,
"Charles, you may not understand the steps to explore the island when you first arrived. The mission of the explorer is divided into many types. First, explore the route, then evaluate the indigenous danger level, and finally explore the island and capture the island. In the association, each type The rewards for tasks are also different."
   "And you, a newcomer, actually completed the first few steps directly, as long as you complete the next capture of the island! The entire island is yours! You are the next lucky person, the next governor!"
   It turned out to be such a thing. No wonder the islands on the nautical chart didn't have the rewards. It turned out that the islands were explored so finely, and Charles thought secretly.
   "Stop talking about it, new... Charles, what resources are there on that island? Is it dangerous?"
   After thinking about it for a few seconds, Chaer eh told them about the island.
   When I heard that there was no food or fresh water on that island, all monsters that could erase human memory, all the faces showed regret.
   "Alas, it's another dead island. I thought I could witness history and see the fastest governor."
   "Yes, there is no fresh water, and it is useless to occupy it."
   "As long as we have a little resource, we can form an attacking fleet in the next step."
While others were discussing this topic, Charles pointed his hand to the northernmost level 5 island on the chart and pointed to the female recorder next to him and said: "After half a month, my ship To be able to go to sea, I need to explore this island."
   Elizabeth opened her mouth as if she wanted to persuade, but in the end she still didn't say it. The strength of this guy in front of her is really a bit unclear. He is not an ordinary rookie.
   When the recorder finished registering for the task, Charles looked around the captains who were suddenly silent. "Excuse me, is there any way for weapons?"
   The last expedition taught me a lesson. Charles must improve the combat effectiveness of the entire ship. Revolver alone is not enough.
   "If it's just general weapons, ask them." The strong man pointed to the staff behind the counter. "The association also deals in weapons. As long as the price is right, they can get everything."
The recorder next to    said very intimately: "Please wait a moment, I will send you the list of weapons."
   Charles suddenly felt that the person who founded the association was really a business genius. He said that for the sake of all mankind, it is true to do an arms business that explodes profits.
   Soon, several introduction books were placed in front of Charles, and under the various models of firearms, the price of bullets was also intimately marked.
   The technology of Dihai is a bit off. Most of the firearms are outdated weapons used in World War I. I don’t know if there are more advanced weapons or not.
   "Charles, these things actually look good, but they are not very useful, and there are many things on the island that can't be dealt with with bullets."
   The brawny's words calmed the heart-beating Charles, sure, but the strangeness of the island, this kind of simple violence was not very useful.
   Charles didn't think that when he changed the revolver in his hand to another firearm, there would be any essential difference when he went to the Golden Statue Island. Firearms could not stop the memory modification.
   "Then what do you use?" Charles asked.
   "Fill with life." A hoarse voice came from the side, and the enthusiastic atmosphere in the crowd began to get colder.
   was talking about a middle-aged man with a dark complexion and an eagle nose.
   He leaned forward and stared at Charles with his gray pupils.
   "I know what you want to ask. I hope we people have any knack for exploring, yes, we all have different abilities." He lifted one hand, and a blue flame flashed past his hand.
"But even if we have relics with peculiar abilities, the death rate of explorers is still high and scary. A successful governor is followed by thousands of deaths. The last time you were okay, it was just luck. Don't blame me for telling the truth. Reality It's so cruel."
   Hearing this, Charles felt more at ease. The Earth and the Sea never showed kindness to humans.
   He said to the exploring captains in front of him: "Everyone, I will talk later when I have time. I need to prepare supplies for going to sea."
   Watching Charles walk out of the door, the brawny man asked in doubt, "What do you say he is going to the north? Shouldn't he really go to the bright place?"
   No one answered his question, and the hall was quiet for a while.
   For the next half month, Charles did not idle, except for the preparation of materials, it was a whole body exercise and training marksmanship.
   Earth Sea is cruel, but he will not give up his faith.
   The days on the shore passed quickly, and it was already half a month in a blink of an eye.
   The brand-new exploration ship was quietly parked in the harbor. The streamlined hull, the black deck guns against the lights, and the thick hull made Charles' eyes fascinated.
   "She is so beautiful. Are you saying so?" Charles said with a bit of excitement and expectation.
   "Captain, what's its name? Shouldn't it be called the Rat?" Dip asked, standing in front of the five sailors. UU reading www.uukanshu.cóm
   Looking at the 125-caliber steel cannon on the front deck, Charles thought for a while and said to him: "Narwhal, she is called the Narwhal!"
   After naming the new ship, Charles turned to look at those raw faces. The Narwhal is not a cargo ship like the Mouse. It runs as many people as possible. As an exploratory ship, none of the crew that should be assigned have fallen.
1 sailor, 4 sailors, 1 chief mate, 1 second mate, 1 chief engineer, 1 big tube, 1 second tube, 1 chef, 1 helper, 1 captain, total 13 Crew.
  The crew is all male, old and young, tall and short, and some of them are natives with inward-looking ears.
   While Charles observed them, the crew also looked at Charles with curiosity in their eyes.
Ships are different from the ground. As long as they go out to sea, the entire ship is a closed environment, and the captain is the king of the ship. He controls the fate of everyone. If a captain is not reliable, he will kill everyone on the ship. .
   When they saw Charles's face, they were worried to put aside a little. Although the black-eyed captain was young, many people knew him. This was an old captain.
   "I believe everyone knows what we are going to do this time, and I don't have to lie to you. The death rate of exploratory ships going out to sea is currently one in five. If you want to quit, it is still too late."
   No one in the crowd moved, and none of the standing here went out to sea for the first time. They all knew the risks of this trip, and they also knew the benefits of successfully exploring a new island.
  As long as the captain becomes the governor of Niijima, they will also ascend their chickens and dogs to the sky. Going out to sea is a great life, so why not be bigger?
   "Very good, now everyone is on board!"
