Chapter 16 The Narwhal
"What did you say?!... Have you been to this level 4 island?!" The fat man who was shocked had a little change in his voice and his expression was very wonderful.
The other captains were also shocked. They were just warning this person not to go to the island to seek death. Now they actually said that he has finished exploring?
"Why is there only a dangerous level on the island but no bounty amount?" Charles asked the next question.
"Don't get out of the topic! When will you go to that island? What's on it!"
Charles, who had a slightly frown, leaned back slightly to avoid the fat man's splash. "Fotan taught me to go to the island to get something. Is there any problem with this? Don't everyone explore the island like this."
At this time, Elizabeth was no longer calm, a hint of blush appeared on her fair face, and she looked a little excited.
"Charles, you may not understand the steps to explore the islands just now. The explorer's mission is divided into many types, first exploring the route, then evaluating the indigenous danger level, and finally exploring the islands and capturing the islands. In the association, the rewards for each mission are also different."
"And you, a newcomer, actually completed the previous steps directly. Just complete the next capture of the island! The entire island is yours! You are the next lucky one, the next governor!"
That's the case, no wonder the islands on the chart did not write the rewards. It turned out that the islands were so detailed that they explored them, Charles thought to himself.
"Stop talking about this, New... Charles, what resources are there on that island? Is it dangerous?"
After thinking for a few seconds, Charles felt that the island had no value, so he told them about the island.
When everyone heard that there was no food or fresh water on the island, all of which were monsters that could erase human memories, they all showed regret on their faces.
"Oh, it's another dead island. I thought I could witness history and see the fastest governor."
"Yes, there is not even Tamsui, so it's useless to occupy it."
"As long as we have a little resources, we can form a conquering fleet next."
Just as everyone else was talking about this topic, Charles pointed his hand at the northernmost 5-level island on the chart and said to the female recorder next to him: "In half a month, my boat can go into the sea, and I need to explore this island."
Elizabeth opened her mouth as if she wanted to persuade her, but she still didn't say it out loud. The guy in front of her was really hard to see through. He was not an ordinary newcomer.
After the recorder finished registering the mission, Charles looked around the captains who were suddenly silent. "Do you guys, are there any paths in weapons?"
The last expedition taught a lesson. Charles had to improve the combat effectiveness of the entire ship, and revolvers alone were a bit insufficient.
"If it's just ordinary weapons, ask them." The strong man pointed to the staff behind the counter. "The association also does weapons transactions. As long as the price is right, they can get anything."
The recorder next to him said considerately: "Please wait, I'll send the weapon list."
Charles suddenly felt that the person who founded the association was really a business genius. It was fake to say that it was fake for all mankind, and it was real to do arms business with explosive profits.
Soon, several introduction books were placed in front of Charles, and the bullet prices were carefully marked under various types of guns.
The technology point of the Earth Sea is a bit off. Most of the firearms are outdated weapons that work in World War I. I don’t know if the more advanced weapons are not marked or not.
"Charles, these things actually look good, but they are not very useful, and there is no way to deal with many things on the island with bullets."
The strong man's words calmed down Charles, who was moved, and he was sure, but the strangeness on the island was of little use.
Charles didn't think that the revolver in his hand was replaced with other guns before, and the essential difference would be when he went to the Golden Statue Island. The guns could not stop the modification of memory.
"What do you use?" Charles asked.
"Fill with your life." A hoarse voice came next to him, and the enthusiastic atmosphere in the crowd began to become a little cold.
The person speaking was a middle-aged man with a dark face and a hooked nose on his face.
He leaned forward and stared at Charles with his gray pupils.
"I know what you want to ask. I hope we have any tricks to explore. It's good, we each have different abilities." He raised his hand and a blue flame flashed through his hands.
"But even if we have relics and unique abilities, the mortality rate of Explorer is still very high. A successful governor is followed by thousands of deaths. The last time you were fine was just luck. Don't blame me for telling the truth. The reality is so cruel."
When Charles heard him say this, he felt more at ease. The sea never showed kindness to mankind.
He said to the Exploration Captains in front of him: "Everyone, I will talk to you later when I have time. I need to prepare the supplies to go out to sea."
Watching Charles walk out of the door, the strong man said in confusion: "What do you think he is going to the north? Could it be that he really went to find the place of light?"
No one answered his question, and the hall was a little quiet for a while.
In the next half month, Charles was not idle. In addition to preparing material things, he only exercised his body and trained his marksmanship.
The sea of earth is cruel, but he will not give up his belief.
The days on the shore pass quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is already half a month later.
The brand new exploration ship was quietly parked in the harbor, with its streamlined hull, a black deck cannon with lights in reverse, and a thick hull, which made Charles' eyes look a little fascinated.
"She is so beautiful. Do you think so?" Charles's words were filled with excitement and expectation.
"Captain, what is its name? Could it be called the Mouse?" Dipp, who stood in front of the five sailors, asked.
Looking at the 125-caliber steel cannon on the front deck, Charles thought for a while and said to him: "Narwhal, her name is the Narwhal!"
After naming the new ship name, Charles turned around and looked at the unrestrained faces. The Narwhal was not a cargo ship like the Mouse. It drove as many people as there were few people. As an exploration ship, none of the crew members who should be equipped were left behind.
There are 1 sailor, 4 sailors, 1 first mate, 1 second mate, 1 engineer, 1 large pipe wheel, 1 second pipe wheel, 1 chef, 1 helper, and 1 captain, and a total of 13 crew members.
The crew members were old, young, tall and short, all of them were male, some of them were locals with ink in their ears.
While Charles observed them, the crew also looked at Charles with curiosity in their eyes.
A ship is different from the ground. As long as it goes out of the sea, the entire ship will be a closed environment. The captain is the king of this ship. He controls the fate of everyone. If a captain is unreliable, he will kill everyone on the ship.
When they saw Charles' face, they were worried that they would let go. 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 everyone. The current mortality rate of exploratory ships going to sea is one in five. It's still time for you to withdraw."
No one moved in the crowd, and no one stood here went to sea for the first time. They all knew the risks of this trip, and also knew that if a new island was successfully explored,
As long as the captain becomes the governor of New Island, these little minions will also ascend to heaven and go to sea to gain life. Why not gain a bigger fortune?
