The first thousand one hundred and twenty first chapter horn whales

"Damn it, clean up the things on the deck. I don't want my boat to be smelly during the next few days of voyage." The captain of the Flying Fish shouted at the sailors on the ship. Although he was terrified in words, his smile did not restrain his eyes. His eyes were filled with joy when he looked at the prey on the deck. He could meet a lonely adult narwhal on the way to send a passenger to the Mosan continent. For those sailors who have been making a living at sea for many years, it was like a wallet fell from the sky.

Before the fog year, narwhals were just ordinary marine fish. Their meat was difficult to preserve and would smell bad if stored for only one day. Although the bones were large, they were very soft and were not suitable for any bone carving material. Only its gallbladder would produce some precious spices and some value. However, narwhals were all living in groups of sea beasts. Once they encountered a narwhal, they would have to face a group of narwhals. For any ship, even the steel giant ship of the Kingdom of Ing, facing the siege of a group of narwhals, the final result would only be sunk at the bottom of the sea.

Because catching narwhals far outweigh the benefits, before the fog year, few fishermen were willing to take the risk of catching narwhals unless someone purchased the gallbladder spices for extremely high prices.

But this situation has changed since the year of the fog disaster. Just as a large number of creatures on land have mutated, the creatures in the sea have mutated more, some have mutated more fiercely, some have mutated more weird, and narwhals have mutated more valuable.

Due to mutation, the fish bones on the narwhal's body became denser and harder, and the whole body was golden yellow. The top fish bones even emitted gem luster, and contained some mysterious powers that ordinary people didn't know about. So that the fish bones of the narwhal have not only become the most precious animal bone carving material in the world, but also become a rare and extraordinary material for making materials.

In addition to fish bones, the fat on narwhals is also very expensive, because after the fog disaster, scholars from the US Galica found that whale oil extracted from narwhal fat has an unexpected lubricating effect, which can reduce wear and tear during mechanical operation to the extreme, and can also improve the efficiency of mechanical operation.

At the same time, scholars from the Kingdom of England also found that whale oil prepared through a special formula can be used as a fuel catalyst for steam engines. All steam engine fuels added with special whale oil can increase the temperature several times when burned and reduce fuel consumption by nearly twice.

That is, ships of the same type of ship, which use special whale oil can carry less fuel, reprint more cargo, and sail faster at sea.

In addition, some of the internal organs of narwhals have also mutated, containing various mysterious powers, and are one of the raw materials that are popular on the market.

Only the meat of narwhals is worthless, and the meat of narwhals is very easy to rot. The rotten meat will quickly pollute other parts of the narwhals. If a dead narwhal is left alone, the narwhal will become worthless in less than a day due to the pollution of the carrwhals.

Various reasons have made the narwhal a moving vault. Any ship going out to sea can catch a narwhal. Then the sailor crew on the ship is equivalent to getting a year in advance, while the owner of the ship will gain even greater results.

However, just like the rapidly increasing value of narwhals, the danger of catching narwhals has increased exponentially. Due to the overall mutation, the docile narwhals have become very violent and aggressive, and the power of narwhals has also been greatly improved to a very amazing level. There have been more than one large whaling ship being overturned and torn apart by narwhal whales, so catching narwhals has also become one of the most dangerous things at sea.

Medium-sized ships like Flying Fish, which are mainly speed-oriented, were not suitable for catching large sea beasts like narwhals, but there were exceptions in everything. They did not expect that they would be so lucky to meet an injured narwhal. Of course, no one would be willing to let go of such good things, so the captain changed his target temporarily and used the weapons on the ship to take down the narwhal.

Although he had taken down the narwhal and dragged it onto the deck and began to decompose, the captain of the Flying Fish did not relax because he knew very well that the trouble had not passed.

The blood odor of narwhals is extremely strong, and it is extremely tempting for carnivorous fish in the ocean. Each whaling ship carries some thinners that reduce the blood odor of narwhals, but there is no such thinner on the Flying Fish. Therefore, they need to break down the narwhals and clean the narwhal blood on the hull before the blood odor of the narwhals attracts unknown terrifying sea beasts.

During the period when dealing with narwhals, ships cannot sail and can only park on the sea, which is also the most susceptible to attack.

So after loudly urging the crew on the deck to deal with the narwhal's body, the captain immediately came to the Destiny Weaver Prayer Room in the central cabin of the hull.

In the prayer room, a senior priest of the Destiny Weaving Netwoven quietly knelt in front of the Holy Emblem of the Destiny Weaving Netwoven Netwoven, silently reciting church scriptures.

After the captain came, he did not disturb the priest, but stood quietly aside.

Not long after, the priest stopped reciting the scriptures and turned to the captain and said, "The sea is not the divine realm of my Lord. The power given by my Lord will be decayed. With my current power, I can only cover it for a period of time, and it will not have much effect on those truly powerful mutant sea beasts."

Hearing the priest's words, the captain's face became much darker. The reason why he decided to change his purpose temporarily and risk catching the narwhal was because he felt that the high priests of the church could solve the additional troubles caused by catching narwhals.

However, now the priest clearly told him that his ability to not pay attention to protecting the ship, which immediately made the captain trouble.

If it was rational enough, the captain should immediately give up the narwhal corpse and leave the ship. However, this approach is not only a loss of a large amount of windfall for him, but it will also make other sailors on the ship who are not aware of the situation dissatisfied with him. And if this matter is spread, it will be difficult for his ship to recruit sailors with sufficient experience in the future. After all, no one would be willing to go to sea with a captain who would let him lose a lot of income at any time.

Just when the captain was in a dilemma, the priest of the Destiny Weaving Netwoven suddenly reminded: "Actually, you can go to the lord on the ship to ask, maybe you can get some useful help."

"Is that priest?" The captain was stunned for a moment, and the figure of the only passenger on the ship appeared in his mind, and he also remembered some of the behaviors of the passenger after he got on board.

Because it was the first time that the church's senior officials had sent people to a task assigned by the church, and only one passenger was sent, the captain couldn't help but be curious about the identity of the passenger.

However, except for the special temperament emitted from the passenger, the captain could never find any clues related to the passenger, except for the passenger's special temperament that could alarm the top leaders of the church. Moreover, the passenger had no similarities with the great figures from all over the world in his memory.

The passenger's behavior on the boat was also very strange. He never left his cabin since he got on the boat. The waiter in charge of the passenger also mentioned that every time he delivered a meal, he saw the passenger sitting next to the desk near the window, as if he had not moved.

Although the captain was a little confused about whether the passenger could help, he knew the priest on the ship very well, and knew the priest's ability and his relationship at the top of the church. Since the priest said that the other party could help, there was no need to doubt this matter.

So he hurried out of the prayer room and came to the high-end suite where passengers were placed on the upper cabin.

Although he was a little anxious, the captain still stopped at the door, tidied up his clothes, and then knocked on the door.

"Is there anything wrong?" asked a voice from the cabin.

The captain was stunned. He was originally going to enter the cabin and ask the passengers if they could help, but now it was obvious that the other party did not seem to have any intention to open the door, so he hesitated for a moment, and finally stood at the door and said it quickly.

"I understand." After the captain finished speaking, the cabin gave an answer quickly, but this answer did not satisfy the captain.

Seeing this, the captain said nothing and turned around and left the cabin. On the way, he met the combatants on the ship watching the deck decomposed narwhals, so he shouted at the combatants and ordered the combatants to enter a state of ready to standby.

Feeling the serious atmosphere in the captain's order, the fighters and sailors on the ship stopped playing, making the relaxed mood tense, and each returned to his respective posts, and at the same time accelerated the decomposition of the narwhal.

After giving the order, the captain returned to the prayer room and told the priest the passenger's reaction, both as if he was complaining to the priest, and seemed to intend to lobby the passenger himself.

However, after listening to the captain's narration, the priest just nodded and replied with the same words as the passenger, "I understand", which also made the captain look confused.

The captain, who had not waited for the priest's explanation, could only leave the prayer room with full confusion and continue to prepare for the possible attacks of sea beasts at his own pace.

However, things seemed to be somewhat unexpectedly smooth. Although when decomposing the narwhal's body, several inexperienced sailors poured several buckets of decomposed whale meat and the collected blood into the sea, increasing the chance of attack by the carnivorous sea beasts, fortunately, it seemed that the Flying Fish was very favored. Until the narwhal was completely decomposed and received into the storage compartment, the ship started to leave the bloody sea area, and no large carnivorous sea beast appeared, and even small carnivorous sea beasts did not appear.

The reason why the captain knew so well that there were no carnivorous sea beasts in the ocean was that the whale meat that had been poured into the sea by those idiot sailors before was still floating on the sea surface and not eaten, which was obviously unreasonable.

Afterwards, the captain went to ask the priest of the Destiny Weaving Net, and the answer was that this matter had nothing to do with him, and he pointed upwards.

The captain was obviously not suitable to guess the puzzle. He did not understand the meaning of the priest's gesture at first. It was not until he passed by the advanced cabin that he woke up and quickly arrived at the passenger's cabin and knocked on the door again.

"What's the matter?" Another simple question came from the cabin.

The captain thought for a while and said something to thank him for not being attacked by a sea beast just now.

"I know." The passenger in the cabin interrupted him before he finished speaking and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Although the passenger did not clearly admit that it was because he did not get close to the Flying Fish before, the captain could already hear that it was related to him, and also heard that the other party did not care about this matter, nor did he have the idea of ​​further discussion.

So he thought of finding a topic casually to relieve the awkward atmosphere now, and then left. In his opinion, since the other party did not take this matter seriously, there was no need for him to do anything extra.

"I would like to inform you that you should be able to arrive in Shinbodo County tomorrow," the captain chose a topic that the other party might be concerned about and said: "But the Port of Hope, which was originally planned to dock, can no longer be docked, and can only dock at Torch Port."

After the captain finished speaking, the cabin was silent for a while. Then the cabin door opened and the passenger questioned with an unhappy look: "I need an explanation."

Facing the unhappy passenger, the captain couldn't help but lower his head by the momentum of the other party, and he was also complaining in his heart why he wanted to find such a topic.

No wonder the other party was unhappy. Although Hope Port and Torch Port are both ports of Shinbodo County, one is in the east and the other is in the west, and both span the entire Shinbodo County. Hope Port is right next to Shinbodo District. It takes less than half a day to get there by carriage, but Torch Port needs to cross the Nouski Mountains that cross Shinbodo County. If you don’t encounter any danger, it will take at least four or five days to reach Shinbodo District.

The captain quickly explained: "I just received the news from the letter birds. I hope there is a large-scale tide of sea beasts in the waters around the port, and all ships on the sea cannot get close to that area."

When the other party heard this, he was silent for a moment, and asked again: "Are there many cases of such a large sea beast tide?"

"Most of them appear in the waters around the Viron continent, such as the waters of the Mosan continent, but they do not appear much." The captain thought about it and gave a quick answer, and comforted the other party, "Your Excellency, don't worry, the sea beast tide will only attack the near sea ships and will not go to land."
