Volume 1 Sailing Chapter 08 Question

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The sea breeze is very strong today, at least Level 6. Winds of this level are dangerous at sea.  In order to prevent accidents, the Scarlet Shark had to tighten its sails, just like a child rolling up his trouser legs, to reduce the blowing of the wind.  Even so, the sailing ship was still sailing at a very fast speed, like a sharp arrow riding the wind and waves on the sea, plowing a white water mark.  Pirate ships focus on speed, and the hull is often made into a long and narrow shape, just like a leaf.  This can minimize sea wind resistance and increase sailing speed.  An Rui stood at the bow of the boat with his chest raised, letting the sea breeze blow on his face, and looking up at the boundless sea in front of him.  The sea is so vast that you can¡¯t even see the edge at a glance.  The end of the sea presents a semicircle, connecting with the sky and forming a curved curve.  Such a small boat is inconspicuous when placed on the sea, just like a wave.  It has been seven days since An Rui traveled to this point. Time always passes so fast, like sand between fingers, passing by quietly inadvertently.  During the past seven days, he had lived a relatively stable life and had no conflicts with other pirates. At most, when he met pirates like Carl, he would receive some rolls of the eyes and cold words.  Fortunately, rolling eyes and cold words couldn't hurt anyone, so he chose to ignore them all.  With seven days of recovery and the help of healing medicine, Anrui's injuries are almost healed. The wounds have basically healed and formed dark red scabs.  During this period, Sophie once talked to him, tested his background, and asked about the Dragon Blood Wrath.  Regarding his identity, Anrui insisted that he was a fisherman in the past. No matter how many times others asked him, he never changed his story.  As for the Dragon Blood Fury, he said it was an innate ability.  On earth, this statement has no credibility, but in this world with many strange things, it is still easy to accept. At least Sophie accepted it, and that was enough.  "Hey, newcomer, step aside, I want to mop the floor." An angry voice sounded from behind, interrupting An Rui's thoughts.  An Rui turned around and looked at the speaker, and found that it was the short pirate called "Dwarf Mouse".  The other party was one of his defeated generals, so his attitude towards him was naturally not much better.  "What are you looking at? Didn't you hear what I said? Move aside quickly, you are blocking my way." The dwarf mouse raised his head so that he could look at An Rui.  In his hand, he held a mop made of multiple smelly socks tied together.  "Are you responsible for mopping the floor today?" An Rui did not get angry, but asked with a smile.  "Nonsense, isn't it obvious?" "Let me help you mop the floor." "You want to help me mop the floor?" An Rui shrugged indifferently, answered with action, and walked to the bucket not far away.  , grabbed another mop stuck inside, and began to mop the floor.  At first, the dwarf mouse thought that An Rui was just showing off, and did not appreciate it. Instead, he ridiculed him.  But Anrui didn't care about what Dwarf Mouse said and continued to mop the floor on his own, mopping the entire open-air deck.  "Hey, since you like mopping the floor so much, why don't you mop the second deck too? That's my job today." The dwarf mouse pointed to the gangway not far away and said.  He seems to have taken a fancy to Anrui as a free labor force.  "If you want to mop the floor on the second deck now, I'll be happy to go over and help you, but if you want to be the mop guy, I won't accompany you." An Rui held the handle of the mop with both hands and said with a smile.  "Okay. I'll go down with you. It's faster for two people to work than alone." The dwarf mouse agreed and walked to the gangway first, step by step deeper into the slightly dim second deck.  The Scarlet Shark has a total of three decks, the top one is the open deck, the one below is the second deck, also called the gun deck, and the bottom one is the third deck, also called the bottom deck.  There is no need to say anything more about the open-air deck. The gun deck is mainly used to install cannons, with artillery on both sides. The third deck is used for accommodation and storage of supplies.  A small sailboat like this has very few living facilities and almost no entertainment facilities.  Only those medium-sized ships, large ships, and special ships will free up some extra rooms and transform them into places such as bathrooms, chess and card rooms, and libraries.  After mopping the ground on the second deck, Anrui and Dwarf Mouse returned to the open deck and rested against the guardrail on one side.  "Newcomer, because you helped me mop the floor just now, our previous conflicts can be wiped out. I promise not to cause trouble for you in the future." Short ?The rat looked at the sky opposite, as if nothing had happened.  "More friends, more paths, fewer enemies, fewer walls. I am also happy to resolve the conflicts between us." An Rui nodded.  "Yes, you can't survive on a pirate ship if you have enemies on all sides." The dwarf mouse agreed deeply.  An Rui did not answer the question, but fell into silence. After a while, he tentatively asked: "For the sake of helping you mop the floor just now, can you answer me a question?" "No wonder you can  Help me mop the floor, it turns out that you have something to ask me, and you really agreed to what I said. It's no good to get up early." The dwarf mouse suddenly understood and grinned, his smile was extremely ugly.  Anrui shrugged, acquiescing.  The dwarf mouse thought for a moment, stretched out his fingers, rubbed them against An Rui twice, and smiled greedily: "Looking at you, it seems that you want to ask some special questions. I can answer your questions, but the answer is  There is a fee. One silver coin per answer, clear price, fair transaction. This is because you helped me mop the floor just now, so I will answer you if you didn't help me just now.  I won't answer you for money." "Deal! It's just a silver coin." An Rui happily agreed, took out a silver coin from his purse, and threw it to the dwarf mouse.  The dwarf mouse pinched the silver coin with his nails, blew on it, put it to his ear, listened to the wonderful echo, and said with a smile: "I like the sound." "I've given you the money, now it's my turn  Asking a question. Where is this ship now? I want to know the specific location, the more specific the better." An Rui asked while the iron was hot.  "What kind of question is this? Who doesn't know that this ship is sailing on the knife-edge sea." The dwarf mouse rolled his eyes at An Rui, as if he disliked this question as being too simple.  The Scarlet Shark operates on the Blade Sea all year round, looking for targets to plunder.  An Rui has known this for a long time. When he first traveled here, he falsely reported an address and lied that he was from Feiyu Country. This country happened to be located on the Blade Sea, so the pirates did not become suspicious.  If the address he falsely reported was not on the Blade Sea, but in other sea areas, it would be difficult to justify the lie.  There are seven sea areas in this world, and the Blade Sea is one of them. It borders the Lion Continent to the north and the Red Earth Continent to the south. The entire sea area is shaped like a scimitar, so it is called the Blade Sea.  "Of course I know this is the Blade Sea, but just knowing this doesn't satisfy me. I also need to know the specific location. On which route is the ship currently located, at what longitude and latitude, where is the next stop, and which port is closest to it?  , I want to know all of this." An Rui added his question calmly and lowered his voice.  In fact, these questions had been weighing on his mind for many days.  "Why are you asking this? You have already boarded the pirate ship. Just go with the flow. There is no need to know so much." The dwarf mouse frowned slightly, as if he was a little suspicious.  "I would feel uneasy if I didn't know where the ship is. Is this a good enough reason? If so, please answer my question. If you are unwilling to answer, please return the silver coin to me.  , I can ask someone else to ask this question. I think there are still many people who are willing to answer me." An Rui stretched out his hand and asked for silver coins.  "How can there be any point in spitting out the meat that is put into the mouse's mouth? I accepted this transaction, and there is no way I can return the silver coins to you. As for your question, I will find a way to help you ask it." The dwarf mouse said directly  He stood up and threw the mop in his hand on the ground, "I'll ask the navigator on the ship. He must know where we are now and what our longitude and latitude are." An Rui smiled and took his hand back and watched the dwarf mouse go.  Entered the gangway.  The reason why he spent money to ask this question naturally had his own motives. Only by finding out where the ship was could he formulate the next plan and wait for an opportunity to get rid of the pirate ship and embrace a new life.  Not long after, the dwarf mouse came back with a smile and brought back the news Anrui needed.  This ship is moving along a bronze-level route with no clear end point. The purpose is to rob the merchant ships encountered along the way, rather than reaching a certain port.  Just like weapons, routes also have levels. The levels are divided according to the business opportunities contained in the routes. The more profitable the route, the higher the level.  However, business opportunities often come with risks. If you don't have a certain level of strength on those gold-level and above routes, going there is no different than committing suicide.  The latitude and longitude here is approximately 35 degrees north latitude and 26 degrees east longitude. This result was measured by the navigator just this morning using a sextant and other instruments, and it is relatively accurate.  In three days, this ship will pass by an island called Jingtie Island.??Island, but will not dock, but will continue sailing.  When he heard the word "Jingtie Island", Anrui's eyes suddenly lit up, and a gleam flashed from his eyes, looking very excited.  Jingtie Island is one of the many novice zones in Overlord of the Seven Seas. He knows the island very well. He knows where there are treasures, where there are powerful crews, where there are places to gain experience, and where there are precious materials.  If he could reach Jingtie Island, he would definitely be able to prosper, which would be much better than staying on the Scarlet Shark.  Staying on the Scarlet Shark, he could only be a small pirate, or at best a first mate, and he would have to burn, kill and loot without conscience.  It's completely different on Jingtie Island. He has many ways to make money. He can quickly accumulate funds, build a ship of his own, and directly serve as the captain without having to look at anyone else's face!  It¡¯s better to be a chicken head than an ox tail. It¡¯s better to be your own captain than to work for someone else.  "Hey, do you have any other questions? If so, just ask. I like this way of making money." The dwarf mouse tasted the sweetness and asked with a smile.  "It's a pity that I don't have any other questions. It seems that your wealth today is just a silver coin." An Rui said with a smile.  "You've been making trouble for a long time and this is the only problem you have." The dwarf mouse smacked his lips, seeming to be a little unsatisfied.  At this moment, another pirate came over and said angrily to An Rui: "An Rui, the captain has something to do with you and asked you to go to the captain's room."
