Pirate System

Chapter 274 The Blue Flame

Little Pirate City is really a vibrant place, Tang Ke felt sincerely.

This time I revisited the old place, and the girls I saw in the sea oak forest were all new faces. I can't see any of the girls I saw during my previous two visits. It can be seen that the replacement of old and new people here is extremely fast, changing at a rapid rate.

Several girls were sitting on the tree trunk, with their bare calves dangling around. Their legs became whiter and tenderer than the other, which was simply tempting to commit crimes. There was another group of girls sitting in the wooden gazebo, talking and laughing while drinking wine, their eyes catching up with the passing pirates intentionally or unintentionally.

Things are different, but what remains unchanged is the enthusiasm of the girls. They greeted the pirates and threw down the handkerchiefs embroidered with the name and address of the shop. The pirates rushed to jump up and snatch the few handkerchiefs. The fragrance on the handkerchief is refreshing, which is another new way to attract customers.

Tang Ke stood at the bow, enjoying the feeling of bearing the brunt. Elizabeth beside him held his arm, preventing him from picking up the handkerchief dropped by the girl. He likes the way women are jealous and coquettish, and enjoys it. With the expansion of his influence and the heavier burden on his shoulders, he became less and less interested in hooking up with strange women.

When I arrived at the pier, I had my own staff to do the handover work and sign the documents. Tang Ke had more important things to do. He led a large group of people and walked on the street with extraordinary style, heading for the port.

The arrival of the Dragon Pirates had already alarmed the idlers in the port. Nearly a thousand good-natured people came to watch. Some stood on both sides of the street, and some stood in the house and opened the windows to look out. People watched the excitement and muttered.

"Look, look, that oriental man is Tang Ke. On the day of Fengyue 9, he drove the Cangtian and defeated the Sea Emperor, which made the dignified pirate governor suffer a lot."

"He dared to defeat Lord Jinbeard, he is really daring, isn't he afraid of death?"

"Pirates who are afraid of death and want to be a fart. I have heard several rumors about the Dragon Pirates. They have done desperate things, but this is not the only one. They wiped out the notorious Black Toad Pirates, and participated in He solved the robbery in the Turbulent Sea, and fought a few battles with the navy of the Dragon Tooth Kingdom."

"I read the newspaper two days ago. The newspaper gave him a title. What is it called?"

"You pig-like beast brain, the newspaper calls Tang Ke the Dongfang Dragon. He is from the East. He has a dragon tattoo on his right shoulder. The pirate group is also called the Dragon Pirates. The title of the Dongfang Dragon is very appropriate."

"Dongfang Dragon? It's really majestic."

Naturally no one dared to speak loudly,

However, the small voices of those whispered discussions still couldn't escape Tang Ke's ears. He has become accustomed to watching and discussing, and his face is calm.

"Ding your deeds have caused a huge impact in various places, and you have won the title of 'Oriental Dragon', deterrence +2, command +1, charm +2, and favorability when negotiating with Eastern forces +2."

The system sound sounded suddenly, Tang Ke raised his eyebrows, stopped in his tracks, briefly glanced at the buff brought by the title, and chuckled. There is no need to elaborate on the first few benefits, but the last one caught his attention. His oriental appearance seems to have become a characteristic and is well known by people. It can be seen that the east of this world is very close to the east of the earth, and there are many people of the yellow race. He became curious, and decided that if he had the opportunity, he would go to the east of the world and meet the "folk".

There were more and more people watching on both sides, and everyone rushed to witness the demeanor of "Oriental Dragon" with their own eyes, as if they regarded Tang Ke as some kind of peerless beauty, and just a few glances could make them feel better physically and mentally.

With sharp ears, Tang Ke heard that many people were discussing that they wanted to join the Dragon Pirates. He looked at the crowd with the loudest voice, and said loudly: "Listen to those people who chew their tongues over there, the Dragon Pirates will never have enough manpower. Come if you are interested. Whether you are local hooligans or villainous thugs, Dragon Pirates The group will accept it as it is.”

The group of people were flattered, and suddenly boiled up, and the courageous people rushed over directly. The leading guy asked, "Dongfang Long, I just ran out of money and was kicked out of the hotel. Can you take me in? If you agree, I will work hard for you in the future."

Tang Ke raised his thumb, pointed behind him and said, "The kid is in good shape, you've made it, you go to the end of the line and line up."

"Haha, you are really a cheerful person, much better than my last pirate leader." The big man was very happy, and ran to the end of the dragon pirate group, chatting with the old pirates in a familiar way.

Seeing this, the onlookers enthusiastically signed up, wanting to join the Dragon Pirates. Tang Ke had some important business to do, so he couldn't delay here, and left the matter of recruiting manpower to others.

Tang Ke shook off the crowd and continued to move forward, but halfway through, he had to stop again because an old acquaintance stood in the middle of the road.

This man was well-built, wearing the aqua-blue uniform of the Great White Shark Shipyard, and was quite ugly, with a smile on his bumpy face, and his long hair on the left deliberately covered his mutilated ear.

"Bot" Tonk smiled and called out One Ear's real name. This guy is different from One Eye, and he doesn't like to use his own characteristics as nicknames.

One ear walked to the front quickly, knelt on one knee and said, "See the regiment leader."

Tang Ke was slightly taken aback. The first two times they met, they both hugged each other as greetings, but this time, One Ear was obviously much more respectful. He smiled and said, "After putting on the overalls, I feel different. I am much more polite than before." He stretched out his hand and raised one ear.

"The pirate group is no longer what it used to be. In the future, we can't go up and down again. Even if we are pirates, we can't do without rules."

The larger the pirate group, the more rules and stricter the hierarchy.

Tang Ke nodded in agreement, then asked with a smile, "How is your shipbuilding?"

In fact, he asked too much, in his system, the grade of one ear has been clearly indicated. The current one ear is already a third-level magic craftsman. Rapid progress in one ear shows how hard he worked at the Jaws shipyard.

One Ear himself is also quite confident, patted his chest and assured: "As long as I have enough materials, I can design and build a second-order magic ship by myself."

"Yes, yes, your progress is very fast. How about this, I will pay for the purchase of materials, and you can help me build a first-order magic ship. I want to build a speed-type ship, which should not be difficult for you. "

"Thank you for the kindness of the leader, but I have a better plan than the first-order magic ship. But now is not the time to talk, it is better for you to go to the Great White Shark Shipyard first. My teacher Garvey , is waiting for you to discuss the repair of Cang Tian. He is a person who wants to save face. If you don’t go to him immediately when you come here, maybe he will make trouble. We can talk about the shipbuilding in the evening. "

Logically speaking, one ear should be overjoyed to hear that Tang Ke is willing to pay for materials, but now he politely refuses.

Tang Ke felt that there was something strange in it, and one ear seemed to have something on his mind. However, since One Ear has made an appointment to talk at night, there is no need to rush to get to the bottom of it.

"Okay then. Tonight, I'll talk to you again. You can make a meeting point."

One ear thought for a while, and said the name of a tavern, and then he accompanied Tang Ke all the way to the Great White Shark Shipyard not far away.

The Great White Shark Shipyard is located on the shore, and there is another smaller pier, where ships that need repairs will drive here by themselves. The Cang Tian, ​​which used to be majestic in the past, is now lying among a group of broken ships waiting to be repaired, looking old and old, like an old man with a sprained foot. The figurehead of the Cangtian has disappeared, and the planks and sides of the ship are simply sealed by wooden boards. Those wooden boards are quite different from the original high-grade wood of the hull, like ugly patches on gorgeous clothes.

"Is this still called a boat? Is this still called a magic boat? Why do I only see a pile of rotten wood?" Garvey shouted angrily.

It takes a lot of time to build the magic ship, and of course it is not cheap to repair, and the funds for repairing the Cangtian this time will all be paid by the Great White Shark Shipyard under the Golden Beard. It's no wonder that Garvey, the money-worshiping old man, isn't excited. It's good that the heart attack hasn't recurred.

The Cangtian was called rotten wood. Tang Ke smiled wryly, "If the undead on this ship hear this, they will definitely jump up and down with anger."

It was broad daylight, and it was inconvenient for Frankie to show up, otherwise how could he miss the seminar on repairing the Cang Tian.

"It can't be repaired at all. The magic furnace burned down, all the pipes were scrapped, and the most sophisticated magic device became scrap iron. This propeller structure was invented by Frankie before his death. It is his unique skill, and it is still unavailable today. People can crack it. Even I can't fix this set of propellers." Garvey pointed at the rotten wood and said with a cold face.

Tang Ke didn't like to hear such discouraging words. He said, "How could it be? The governor has high hopes on you, saying that you have a way to make this ship fly again."

These words blocked Garvey's way out. This is the order of Lord Golden Beard. Who would dare to disobey it? Garvey sighed bitterly and said: "Master Jinbeard is good everywhere, the only shortcoming is that he is too generous and doesn't know how to save money. He sent a message, no matter how much I feel sorry for the money, I have to fix the Cangtian. Come with me Well, in the few days since you came here, I already have a complete reconstruction plan, and I will take you to see it now."

Tang Ke is full of expectations for the reconstruction of Cang Tian. As the saying goes, the Cangtian is completely scrapped this time. Rather than repairing it, it is better to start a new stove and rebuild a magic ship. Since it is a reconstruction, the Cangtian will definitely be completely different from before. However, he will cling to the fact that the Cangtian must be able to fly, as long as it is a flying magic ship, it will definitely not be bad.

In a gorgeous room specially used for business discussions, there are only Garvey and Tang Ke in the room, it is very quiet, there is steaming coffee on the table, and there is a drawing board beside the table, and there are paintings on the drawing board. Line drawings.

Garvey stretched out his haggard hand, which was covered with age spots. He flipped through a few drawings, each with a different pattern, some were the skeleton of a whole ship, some were a single part, and there were even pictures of individual animals. Magical magic weapon. His hand stopped. This blueprint showed a deformed stove, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, covered with strange textures, and many small joints such as screws, buttons, and handles.

"The magic furnace on the Cangtian is too backward, and it has long been eliminated. This is a new type of magic furnace I developed in recent years, called the 'Yanluo Red Furnace', and its power can reach 2,300 horsepower. The original Sly of the Cangtian Mu's magic furnace only has more than 700 horsepower, which shows how big the gap is. This magic furnace is dedicated to making fire elements, which is the same as your other magic ship Purgatory. However, the magic furnace of Purgatory is not It cannot be compared with the 'Yanluo Red Furnace'. I can guarantee that within the scope of the second-order magic ship, the 'Yanluo Red Furnace' is one of the best magic furnaces."

"This magic stove looks pretty good." Tang Ke, a pure layman, could only agree.

"Master Jinbeard ordered that the ship must be allowed to fly again, but as I said before, I don't understand the structure of the propeller at all. However, I have another way to make the ship fly."

Garvey has accepted the established facts, and after talking, his tone gradually calmed down. He turned over another blueprint, which showed a strangely shaped sailboat, with smooth curves and elegance like a swan, with a phoenix figure in the front, and a cylindrical device on both sides and the stern, from which flames spewed out. .

"There are six flamethrowers, one at the bottom, four at the sides, and one at the tail. The maximum flying height can reach two thousand yards, which is higher than the original Cangtian. The flamethrower does not only increase the height, but also the speed. It has also been greatly improved, reaching a maximum of 21 knots. This speed can surpass most of the magic ships, but unfortunately, the loss caused by flame propulsion is too large, and this ship can only fly for an hour at most. Beyond this time Otherwise, all parts will be damaged. I suggest that you light the magic furnace for no more than 40 minutes each time, so as to cause the least loss. In normal times, you should also pay more attention to the maintenance of this ship."

Tang Ke stared at the new Cangtian on the drawing, and said happily: "I like the fire-breathing spaceship to look more majestic than the original Cangtian."

Garvey was calm on the surface, but there was a hint of complacency in his eyes.

"I work as a person, and I do my best. What's more, Lord Jinbeard also asked me to do my best to repair the Cangtian in a letter. This time, I not only want to make the Cangtian fly again, but also let the Cangtian fly again." The power of this ship has been greatly increased. I have added several new weapons to Cang Tian by combining the two characteristics of flight and fire elements. I plan to add a fire magic circle to the bottom edge of the ship to make this knife a flame knife. , There is no constant cutting on this ship. Because the flame is easy to burn itself back, so the bottom of the ship needs to be remodeled and covered with a layer of ice wood to avoid fire and heat insulation. "

Garvey continued to turn the drawings backwards. On the latter drawings, the bottom blade with the magic circle and the pattern of the flame launcher were drawn.

"The advantages of flying are great. Ordinary artillery can't shoot so high. Cangtian can attack freely in the sky. In view of this, I designed a set of flame bomb launchers. In this way, you don't have to work hard The explosive barrels are thrown down. Flamethrowers should also be installed around the hull to ensure combat effectiveness on the sea. The most powerful main gun on the ship, I plan to install the 'Red Lotus Cannon', which has a caliber of up to 350mm , the fired shell will be printed with a fire magic circle, and the shell will automatically explode when it hits an enemy ship, and within three yards of the center of the explosion, it is guaranteed that there will be no scum left.”

Tang Ke became more and more excited the more he listened, like a child who got a new toy, he kept boasting: "That's great, that's great, I like the new Cangtian"

Garvey glanced at Tang Ke, raised his eyebrows and said, "After this transformation, can it still be called Cangtian?"

Tang Ke's smile faltered, feeling a little uncomfortable, and asked tentatively, "What is it called?"

Garvey looked at the drawing, as if looking at a new life.

"I plan to call her the Blue Flame."

"You want to change the name of the ship?" Tang Ke immediately thought of Frankie's reaction. The Cangtian was Frankie's spiritual support, so how could he change the name.

"Not only do you need to change the name of the ship, but you also need to add the names of Great White Shark Shipyard and me on the hull. It will cost at least 350,000 gold coins to transform this ship, and all of it will be paid for by the Golden Beard Pirates. You Not even a copper coin. Isn't it too much for us to spend so much money just to put our name on it?"

"It's really not too much." Tang Ke swallowed his retort.

Maybe Garvey wanted to use Cang Tian for publicity, maybe it was out of the honor of the shipbuilders, in short, Garvey was very firm about changing the name of the ship.

That night, Tang Ke came to the Cang Tian, ​​called out Frankie, and told about the change of the ship's name.

"What? He wants to change the name of the ship?" Frankie's reaction was really excited.

Tang Ke pointed to the stack of blueprints on the table, and said helplessly: "You have also seen those renovation plans. Garvey has indeed paid a lot of money, and the design is impeccable. He has spent so much effort and money, only The request to change the name of the ship. Even I don't think it's too much, and I really can't find a reason to refuse. However, this ship is yours, so I have to ask your opinion to see if you can accept it. If you If I disagree, I will turn against Garvey and refuse to change the name of the ship. He has to obey the order of the golden beard. Sometimes you may cut corners, or you may not work hard.”

With a sullen face, Frankie flipped through the blueprints. The things drawn on them would make any sailor's heart skip a beat. He was silent for a long time, and finally compromised: "If the Cangtian is not strong, it will be difficult to deal with future battles. After the reconstruction, the Cangtian has changed beyond recognition. Even if it is shamelessly called the Cangtian, it still feels a bit misleading. This time, I, Quandang Cangtian, have grown up and become a more mature and perfect form. Since I want to change the name, let’s change the Cangyan, which sounds pretty pleasing to my ear.”

Tang Ke breathed a sigh of relief, Frankie's approval saved a lot of trouble and worries. He was also surprised that Frankie was so open-minded this time.

"Then it's settled. From now on, this ship will be called Cangyan. Just like you said, our Cangtian has grown up."

Tang Ke and Frankie looked at each other, their eyes were full of anticipation, and they vaguely saw the Cangtian, or Cangyan, soaring in the sky again.

The matter of changing the name was successfully completed, Tang Ke walked briskly under the moonlight and walked all the way to the agreed private room of the tavern with infinite expectations for the Blue Flame. He has a relatively full schedule tonight, and the second person he needs to meet is An Er. During the day, one ear hesitated to speak, and now it was time to tell the truth.

"What is the shipbuilding plan you mentioned earlier?" Tang Ke took a sip of wine to quench his thirst, and then asked straight to the point.

One ear said seriously: "Header, you are a person with great ambitions. In the future, you will aspire to the sea and dominate the world. But to realize such ambitions, you must have several powerful ships to help you, such as the King of the Sea. giant magical battleship."

Tang Ke heard the meaning behind the words, and asked: "You don't want to build a fifth-order magic ship, do you?"

One ear clenched his fist and said: "You guessed it right, I just want to help you build a fifth-order magic ship and build a super giant ship like the King of the Sea"

Tang Ke's wine glass froze in mid-air, he blinked and said: "The idea is very good, but we lack too much. Your shipbuilding strength is not enough, and such a big ship cannot be completed by a shipbuilder like you." Yes, even if I don’t think about these issues, my funds are seriously insufficient. You should know better than me how precious the materials needed to build a fifth-order magic ship are. If you let me sell iron, no, even if you let me lose my kidney It’s also sold, and I can’t make up so much money.”

The most important building material of Golden Beard's Sea King City is the heart of a red dragon, and it is also the heart of an adult red dragon that has been around for thousands of years.

There are very few dragons in this era, and there are only a few left. Without exception, these old monsters are all hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, and they don't come out behind closed doors. The strength of these dragons is very terrifying, even a ninth-level powerhouse can hardly defeat them. It is said that in order to build the Sea King City, Golden Beard assembled a large group of strong men, and together they killed the last adult red dragon in the world, and then took away the cubs of the red dragon, raising them as pets. Without the heart of the red dragon, the jumbo-class Sea King City would not be able to function at all.

The difficulty of building a fifth-order magic ship can be seen.

"Of course I know that it's very difficult, and it can even be called as difficult as reaching the sky. However, because the materials needed to build a fifth-order magic ship are too precious and rare, I have to start preparing now. Captain, you know me There is a notebook about building a magic ship, which is my most important treasure. In that notebook, there are several blueprints for building a fifth-order magic ship, including every important detail of the construction, and the required Building materials. I didn’t know anything about shipbuilding before, I was just a layman, and I never thought of building this ship by myself, so I never mentioned it to you. But it’s different now, my level is improving every day, and your influence It’s also like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger. I think we have the confidence to do this. Although we can’t make it now, what about ten years from now? Twenty years from now? If we wait until then to collect materials, but it’s a bit late.”

One Ear took out two drawings from his body and put them on the table. These two papers were obviously manuscripts. One of the pictures shows an extraordinary large ship with "Ice Age" written on it, and the other piece of paper is filled with more than 50 materials needed for shipbuilding.

Tang Ke picked up two pieces of paper and looked at them carefully. This huge ship named "Ice Age" has fifteen masts and eight decks. If the ship becomes a real thing, it must be huge, even rivaling the King of the Sea

As for the materials on that piece of paper, all of them are extremely precious, and several of them are priceless, such as unicorn horns, chaotic spirit stones, death grass, white sacred bird feathers, deep sea orbs...

The blueprints for the construction of magic ships are as scarce and precious as alchemy prescriptions and secret forging recipes, let alone the blueprints for the construction of fifth-order magic ships. One ear can dedicate such a precious blueprint, which shows its loyalty.

Tang Ke felt emotional in his heart, he didn't expect to encounter two good things in a row today, and both of them were related to the magic boat. Just like what Yi Er said, he cannot do without the help of the fifth-order magic boat if he wants to achieve great success. When he got this blueprint, he would never let it go, and it must be built successfully.

"It turns out that's the case. You are right. It is because the materials for making magic ships are scarce, so they should be collected in advance."

As soon as Tang Ke finished speaking, the system sound rang.

"Ding you inspired the construction task. The task goal is to build the fifth-order magic ship Ice Age. The task reward is 84,000 reward points and 1 artifact-level treasure."

Tang Ke was so surprised that he couldn't believe his ears. He hurriedly sank into the system to check carefully, but he couldn't even hear what was said in one ear. He verified repeatedly, and it turned out that a big task was activated, just like the task of collecting the resurrection fountain, which was also a difficult and long task. But the more difficult the task, the greater the reward. Not to mention the 80,000-plus reward points, just one artifact-level treasure hooked out Tang Ke's greedy worms. This is too tempting

"Don't think there are too many materials needed here, but according to my research, many of them can be bought directly, but the price is too high. The rest of the materials are not extinct, only three or five are extremely difficult to find, It depends on chance to meet." One ear didn't see anything wrong with Tang Ke, and said to himself.

Tang Keqiang resisted the urge to laugh, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I must collect all the materials needed for this fifth-order magic ship, and you will be fully responsible for the production at that time. This collection process is long. At least Five to seven years. It is estimated that by then, you will already be a master shipbuilder and the Dragon Pirates will have grown into a giant."
