    The "Beauty" was gliding smoothly on the sea Mu En looked at the calm sea in the captain's room and said: "It is such a beautiful scenery. It seems that everything has been forgotten in front of such a vast ocean." Maghe  Long shook his head and smiled: "It seems calm now, but in an instant there may be violent storms. The endless ocean is unfathomable, and the power of the ocean cannot be resisted by mortals." Mu En thought of what Root said about Magellan.  , asked curiously: "It is said that you can predict the appearance of storms in advance and can easily find traces of pirates on the sea. I wonder if it is true." Magellan nodded and said: "Well, there are some murlocs in my body.  With my bloodline, I just happened to awaken some of the bloodline¡¯s talent skills Storm Prediction and Fish Communication. "Storm Prediction allows Magellan to detect upcoming weather changes with a high probability. In addition to some weird weather phenomena, Storm Prediction can allow Magellan to detect upcoming weather changes.  The fleet led by Zhelong was unaffected by most storms.  Fish communication allows Magellan to simply communicate with fish, shrimps, crabs and other aquatic creatures on the ocean. This allows Magellan to easily grasp the surrounding situation and not be surrounded by ambush circles set by other enemies.  The fishmen are a legendary race. It is said that the men of the fishmen are extremely ugly, but their women are all beautiful, which is what people often call mermaids.  In knightly novels and legends, mermaids are always described as the embodiment of beauty, kindness and wisdom, but in fact this is not the case. Each race is different, and there are many evil mermaid legends in history.  Of course, compared to the Nagas and Kraken who hate the land races, the murlocs are relatively neutral and have certain exchanges with human society. It is thought that one of the ancestors of Magellan was the descendant of the union of murlocs and humans.  Mu En praised in surprise: "You have such a racial talent. You are really a born captain! No wonder you became the best captain in Rotter Harbor fifteen years ago." Magellan said: "It is said that the endless ocean is deeper than the land.  Huge, my biggest dream is to see how big this endless ocean is. It¡¯s a pity.¡± Mu En comforted: ¡°When you get your revenge, I will help you realize your dream. Haha, I¡¯m afraid.  By then you will be too old to go to sea! " This is the first time that the modified "Beauty" has set sail. Captain Magellan must carefully observe every part of the ship and receive feedback from various positions.  Summarizing the overall situation of the ship, because the "Beauty" is very different from the "Beauty" he was familiar with before: The original lookout of the "Beauty" has been recruited and left by other chambers of commerce's fleets with high salaries and has not continued to stay in Rotterport.  , which made Magellan very disappointed. You must know that the position of lookout is very important. When two fleets pick up a station, whose lookout can spot the other first.  Maybe just be prepared before the other person.  With a wave of his hand, Mu En simply equipped the Beauty with an enhanced eagle-eye telescope with a maximum observation distance of fifty kilometers, and a life detector that can detect life fluctuations within five kilometers around it.  In addition to these, there are many differences between the "Beauty" and the previous one. The new "Beauty" is very powerful, but it also makes Magellan feel a little uncomfortable for a while.  Muen and Magellan were walking in various places on the "Beauty" when suddenly the watchman on the watchtower sent a warning: "There are two pirate ships cruising fifty kilometers ahead!" Magellan heard this and sighed: "This eagle eye  The telescope is so powerful that I basically don¡¯t need to use my natural skills! I suddenly discovered that the gold coins you invested made me, the captain, no longer so important.  There is a strong sense of loss.  " Mu En comforted: "Uncle Captain, I believe that you were able to become the best captain in Rotter Harbor, and you relied on more than just those two skills, right?  " Magellan thought of the past years at sea and said proudly: "Of course.  Even without those two skills, I can still be a good captain!  " Mu En smiled and said: "That's fine!  The better the ship, the better it can reflect your talents.  Uncle Captain, what do you think we should do in this situation?  " Although Magellan's sword is sharp, it has been dusted for many years, and the ship has not yet been run in. He was worried about his incompetent command and said hesitantly: "Before getting familiar with and mastering the new 'Beauty'.  Should we stay away from the edge for now?  " Mu En sighed secretly. Years of decadence may have made Magellan more mature, but it has lost the passion that Mu En admires most. He thought to himself: Let this battle rekindle uncle's passion! Mu En looked at Magellan  Long said resolutely: "Fight!  Combat is the best testing ground. After a battle, our sailors and crew will definitely become proficient in the new "Beauty" very quickly!  " There seemed to be blazing flames burning in Mu En's eyes. Magellan paused in his heart and thought to himself: Am I still no better than a child?   He clenched his fist and yelled: "Fight! The helmsman turns the string, the crossbow gunner is in position to load the ammunition, the magic sail is adjusted at any time, and the assault is at full speed! Everyone is in position!" The young men who followed him back then have now become adults, but  Magellan calmly arranging battle preparations on the deck made them seem to have returned to more than ten years ago. They all shouted: "Fight! Fight! Fight!" "Haha! Magellan is back! 'Beauty' is back  Hey! Guys, we're back! Kill! Kill! Kill! The morale is like a rainbow!  The magic sail was activated, and hurricanes rose out of thin air and dragged the Beauty away, stirring up a long white wave on the originally calm sea, but the two pirate ships in the distance still did not respond.  Mu En secretly said to Nevar and others: "Let's not use the Holy Shield for the time being and let's see how they perform!" Being at sea is not as good as in the air or on land. Although we can use the buoyancy of wind and water, the resistance on the sea is even greater.  Therefore, no matter whether it is a monster or a ship, the speed in the sea is not very fast. The speed of 'Beauty' at 80 knots (150 kilometers per hour) after the magic sail is activated can almost dominate the sea, but the speed and the magic of crossing the continent  Battleships are simply incomparable. Of course, compared to the huge cost and magic power consumption of magic battleships, the cost and magic power consumption of magic ships are very low.  "What is that?" Two pirate ships were cruising in this area looking for fat sheep. Suddenly, a black spot in the distance quickly expanded, attracting their attention.  "There is a ship! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The pirate lookout on the watchtower shouted loudly, but it was already too late!  "Crossbowman! Load the crossbow! Fire!" Unlike the original "Deep Blue Pioneer" where the ballistae fired automatically, these ballistae installed in the teleportation required the ballistae to manually debug and aim before firing.  But the magic ballista is a magic ballista after all. Compared with the ordinary giant crossbow, the magic ballista has a longer range, allowing the crossbow arrows to have faster speed and penetration.  The range of ordinary giant crossbows is generally less than two kilometers, while the minimum range of magic crossbows is ten kilometers!  Thick crossbow arrows flew out one after another. Each of these crossbow arrows was worth five hundred gold coins. What was shot was not crossbow arrows but gold coins. There were still a thousand magic crossbow arrows similar to those fired by the Deep Blue Pioneer on the ship.  , each one is worth ten thousand gold coins!  "Boom, boom, boom!" It's a pity that these gunners may not have fired for a long time. There were a total of fifteen crossbows on one side, and nine crossbow arrows were shot on the water, two on the deck, and one on each side.  It hit the armor on the side of the pirate ship, and one shot hit the sail of a pirate ship.  At least 4,500 gold coins were wasted!  When Magellan saw this scene, he blushed and shouted: "Fuck! You little bastards, can't you even fire a cannon? The helmsman turned around, kept his distance, and do it again!" All the gunners suppressed their blushes when they heard this, and once again  The crossbows were swung, aimed, and launched. Although many of them still failed to aim at important parts this time, none of them missed. The two pirate ships opposite were riddled with holes.  There is magic gunpowder inside these crossbows, which will explode after hitting the target. The ships in the distance began to slowly emit black smoke. The bottom of one ship was unfortunately penetrated, and sea water was pouring in from the large hole.  water.  "Yeah!" All the crossbow gunners who hit the target cheered, but Captain Magellan only frowned and cursed angrily: "Is this all you do? Think about you more than ten years ago? Think about your men at that time  They are just ordinary crossbows, but their accuracy and skills are better than now!" All the gunners stopped cheering and lowered their heads in thought: Fifteen years is too far away, and it seems that they have forgotten themselves!  These are just two ordinary medium-sized pirate ships. When their sails were hit, their fate was already decided. It would be a waste of money to fire the ballistae next.  Magellan ordered: "Keep the distance as much as possible, the magic musketeers fire freely, and the soldiers are ready to take over!" Mu En luxuriously equipped the crew of the "Beauty" with fifty magic muskets, and the soldiers were also fully equipped, replacing shotguns with cannons.  Twenty-five million equipment for one ship and more than two hundred people would be unjustifiable if it had no effect. The next battle was just a small test, and there was no suspense at all.  But this battle also exposed many problems. Many old sailors have not gone to sea for a long time and are a little lax about their work. On the one hand, the huge changes and luxurious configuration of the "Beauty" have made them uncomfortable. On the other hand,  It was just an ordinary pirate ship, and the most advanced ones on the ship were only a few mid-level warriors, but it still seriously injured several crew members on the "Beauty", and even one crew member almost died!  This battle ended hastily??, the "Beauty" crushed the two pirate ships without any suspense, but the "Beauty" actually did not exert even one-tenth of its power, and the crew's first performance was also very disappointing.  It was just because the "Beauty" was too powerful, and they faced only two ordinary pirate ships and inferior pirates, that they won.  If the opposite pirate ship is not an ordinary pirate ship, but a magical ship, and if the pirates opposite are stronger and there are several high-level pirates, what will happen?  Magellan stood on the deck, looking at the chaotic crew, and shouted angrily: "Start now! Daily special training! I will take you back to your own prestige!" (To be continued)  .
