Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 29: Return to home and daily
Then, under the command of First Officer Perry, the sailors performed their duties and began to clean the battlefield.
The damage of the Silver Wing after being attacked by the sea monster was not serious. After a simple repair, the body of the impact conch was dragged onto the ship with a net bag, and normal navigation was resumed.
Sea monsters are inherently extraordinary materials, and when conditions permit, no one can easily abandon them. Fortunately, it is in the offshore area. If it is captured in the far sea, only a part of the core material can be harvested, and its value is far from comparable to that of a whole corpse.
Although the loss of "Silver Wing" is not small, the corpse of this sea monster alone is worth the fare. It is more than enough to pay the pensions of the war dead or the rewards of the survivors.
With such a big guy, the rest of the cruising work is already difficult to continue, and the existence of sea monsters is not convenient to be exposed to ordinary people, so Geer simply ordered a direct return.
Wow...
As the sea monster died, the fog on the sea gradually dissipated. The Silver Wing drew a beautiful arc on the sea, turned to another fast route with fewer shipping vessels, and returned at full speed.
on the deck.
"Let’s go, Warrant Officer Alvin, let’s take a break, let you taste the characteristics of our boat during lunch, but it’s a rare delicacy." First Mate Perry patted Alvin on the shoulder. God said mysteriously.
The friendship of fighting side by side and Captain Gehr's obviously different attitude, the first mate, who has always been known for his harshness and inhumanity, became uncharacteristically happy with Aiwen.
"Really? I look forward to it!" There is an opportunity to better integrate into the group, and I will not miss it.
really.
At the celebration banquet prepared for the victory of the war, in addition to the high-quality ingredients originally stored on the boat and the fresh fish caught on the spot, the chef also gave each table a mysterious plate covered with a cover.
This is the special delicacy that the chief mate said, rare in other places.
Aiwen curiously opened the metal cover in front of him.
A chunk of snow-white tender meat is soaked in ginger-yellow juice, with a few slices of green vegetables, and the strange aroma diffuses, making people can’t help but appetite.
It turned out to be a "sea monster feast" made with sea monster tentacles. It is not only delicious and crunchy, but also has the magical effect of slightly improving physical fitness.
The old crew members are nothing. I used to be able to enjoy it once or twice a year when I was on a Tier 4 ship. Even if it was on a Tier 5 ship, the ration was much better than others, but it was the first time I saw it. Alvin and Gary feasted.
Feel the slight heat surging in the body.
Aiwen even imagined that if he could eat this kind of meat every day, he should be able to reach the limit of a mortal very quickly, right?
After thinking about it, I knew it was impossible. The sea monster is the ruler of the sea, and even the top predator. It is understandable to accidentally encounter a desperate fight, but if it is dedicated to chasing and hunting, it really feels that its life is too long.
But if you only have one meal or two, the sea monster meat is not more effective than the corresponding auxiliary potion. It is better than nothing, it can only satisfy the taste buds.
Even so, Ivan solved his share as quickly as possible, leaving no residue.
was sitting at the wine table reserved for the officers, and while they were all drunk, they started to talk in high spirits.
Aiwen asked curiously about the past experience of the old officers in the deep sea.
Today, everyone can see Aiwen’s performance. He cut off the three tentacles of the sea monster alone, saving at least a dozen crew members. Regardless of whether it has a special relationship with the captain, it has been recognized by most of them.
"Just ask the right person. I was the first person to wander in the sea with the captain." The navigator Trius drank a lot, and his drunken eyes were already a little confused.
"Young people, you must remember that there are many giants in the sea, but not all of them have hatred for humans.
The coexistence of carapace and tentacles is the characteristic of sea monsters under the mother of sea monsters. They hate humans as an instinct, and there is no way to change it, but there are still many other types of wild sea monsters.
For these wild sea monsters, humans are no different from other creatures. If they have the means, they can even be tamed like hounds. "
Speaking of this, Trius sliced a large piece of raw sea monster meat dipped in the soup and stuffed it into his mouth, poured a large sip of rum, and hiccuped the wine severely.
"Furthermore, the brave Lord Navigator uses his experience to tell you that powerful sea monsters have one thing in common, that is, they are all delicious!" Seeing Trius addicted to wine and meat, Sailor Changke Reese teased him.
A table of people burst into laughter instantly.
"It’s still good for us to drive a Tier 4 battleship on the open sea. This small species of sea monsters can be sent to the bottom of the sea in a single salvo. Where else would the Captain himself take action?"
The gunner took a sip of amber rum, feeling a little bit emotional.
"If you want me to say, when will we be able to subdue and enslave a large wild sea monster, at that time, our days will be just tsk tsk..." The commander steer also came to join in the fun. It seems that the boat has been driven enough, thinking Had the addiction of a sea monster rider.
"Dream you! Nothing else, it is enough to rely on such a large sea monster to compete for a quasi-legendary battleship!"
A group of people are booing, laughing at the impracticality of the steerer.
is different from the small species such as the impact conch, which can be killed by a single shot with a special javelin. Each large species of sea monster has the ability to destroy a battleship by itself (when there are no powerful transcendents on board).
Even a few decades ago, the kingdom of Hilius, the overlord of the kingdom of sea power, when he first sent the battleship as a big killer into the sea, he said: "The only thing in this world that can resist battleships is another. A battleship and... a large sea monster!"
Large sea monsters are terrifying monsters whose body length is at least more than a first-class battleship. With the power of this monster, coupled with the command of humans, the combat power that can be exerted can no longer simply be more than two by one plus one. Described.
Although it can't reach the level of the "Legendary Warship" used by the sea power countries to control the country, there is no problem in surpassing the first-class warship to reach the level of quasi-legendary.
This means that the combination of humans and large sea monsters is enough to crush more than 90% of the human ships on the sea, terrifying...
Aiwen did not interrupt, eating all kinds of Hesai food, struggling to satisfy his more exaggerated appetite because of the knight training, while listening attentively to the conversations of the officers.
In addition to some common sense related to sea monsters, I gradually gained a certain understanding of the strength of the officers on board.
The power of an individual above the sea is small, but it does not include the peak-level transcendents. Even as far as the inaugural regulations of the Kingdom of Falitis are concerned, every warship captain should be at least one Extraordinary knight!
This is also the final force guarantee for the battleship to defeat the harsh natural environment and deep-sea monsters.
The extraordinary captain is matched with a varying number of apprentice knights (corresponding to captain officers) and a large number of ordinary sailor aids. With the help of the ship’s artillery and various weapons, they form the overall combat effectiveness of a battleship.
Of course, the officers present here are no exception. They are all qualified to practice the real extraordinary swordsmanship "Falitis saber", but either because of their age, qualifications or because of their ambitions, they can truly surpass ordinary people. Few people have reached a certain level.
After all, they are still in the position of captain at their age. Most people have reached the apex of their official careers. They have long given up on their extraordinary roads and have often placed their hopes on the next generation.
Among them, Uncle Geer, as the captain, is a well-deserved force in charge, and he is a powerful presence at the peak of the knight. Moreover, the naval military department has regulations. The military officer who wants to be promoted to the school-level officer must have the rank of official knight, except for the civilian rank.
First Mate Perry is counted as one. Although he has not yet reached the official knight rank, his level should not be too low. The other is the sailor captain Chris, who leads the stormtroopers, who is the most active player in the battle. Ivan feels that his physical fitness is worse than Gary but should be inferior to himself.
But in terms of development potential, the two of them are already too far apart.
First Mate Perry is already over thirty years old, and most of his physical fitness is built up a little bit by years, and it is almost impossible to advance to an official knight.
Sailor Captain Chris is in a little better situation, but if he can't try to break through within two years, he may never have a chance again in the future.
This kind of aptitude is not as good as Ivan, but it is far inferior to Gary.
In theory, as a member of a Tier 4 battleship, the ability of a captain officer would not be so.
From their chat, Ivan accidentally learned that there was actually another Cavalier class on the Tier 4 ship. This is where the crew of the Tier 4 ship is emboldened. It's just that everyone kept secrets about this former colleague and didn't know whether it was sacrificed or transferred.
talked shallowly and deeply, and after a moment of indulgence, Ivan did not ask any more questions.
"Come on, keep drinking!"
"Warrant Officer Irwin, welcome to join our Silver Wing."
"With the skill of Warrant Officer Alvin, I will be the new force on the Silver Wing from now on."
A celebration banquet allowed Aiwen to fully integrate into this new group.
......
's return speed is much faster than during patrols, but the destination of the Silver Wing is not Gabriel's military port, but a hidden island outside the port that is not on the normal route.
and the navy stationed on the island handed over the corpse of the impact conch, the officers and crew on the Silver Wing all had a generous amount of merit and bonuses. In the future, this will be the vouchers to upgrade military ranks, exchange training methods, and various spiritual resources.
With Aiwen’s outstanding performance, his share is naturally indispensable.
Ivan estimated that as long as he came back like this again, he would be able to reach the standard of turning right without having to wait for years, becoming the same captain rank as the sailor captain and first mate.
returned to the military port and reported the sea monster incident. The Silver Wing received additional awards. The crew received three more days of vacation a week after the last landing.
After a thrilling sea monster battle, the crew can’t wait to relax in the bustling Gabriel.
Aiwen frowned slightly, because Uncle Geer was called away by the Third Fleet Command alone. He felt that it was not so simple for sea monsters to break into the coastal waters to attack merchant ships, and there might be hidden secrets behind them.
But now these things are not his turn to worry about, but another little thing is imminent.
Only people who have been wandering on the sea for a long time can experience the beauty of stepping on the ground. Don’t worry about being overturned by the bed while sleeping, don’t worry about the ink bottle tipping over at any time, don’t worry...
Maybe I will get used to this kind of sea life in the future, but obviously the thick land is more attractive now. If there is a large salad with various seasonal fruits and vegetables, it will satisfy my stomach craving for vegetables. All right.
Given that he will be mixing in Gabriel for a long time, Ivan feels it is necessary to solve the problem of his accommodation on the shore. You can’t go to the hotel every time you dock, right?
Renting a house, as a place to live on the shore for a long time in the future, has become Aiwen’s primary goal.
called Gary together, and after they got off the Silver Wing, they wandered around in Gabriel. Only then did he realize that he had been to Gabriel for several months and he had never had the opportunity to visit the city.
"Come and take a look at the characteristic fruits brought back from the southern continent!"
"Look, how this exquisite floral cloth suits you, beautiful girl!"
"I sell glass mirrors. I sell a silver bull glass mirror in the capital. I only sell ninety bronze mirrors, and only ninety ones!"
is indeed a well-known commercial distribution center, whether it is a civilized world or a distant colony, as long as you can imagine the goods can be bought here~ IndoMTL.com~ In addition to bulk trade, there are also large and small bazaars. It is especially prosperous because of the abundant flow of people. Although fruits, vegetables, accessories, clothing, etc. have the common shortcomings of this era, they are slightly messy, but they are full of life.
makes the guy who is used to seeing the monotonous scenery of the sea refreshed and happy.
"Gary, what kind of house do you think we should find?"
"Huh... cheap?"
"Cough cough cough..." Ivan was speechless for a while, knowing that this guy had no reliable suggestions.
"The rent is not a problem, just leave it to me." Ivan also understands the situation in Gary's home. There are many brothers and sisters. He probably wants to save his salary and send it home to subsidize the family.
Ivan himself is not short of money, the spoils of the capture of the Blood Anchor and the two thousand gold tickets for handling the ships are still in his pocket.
Two thousand gold tickets are already a huge sum of money wherever they are placed.
Commerce and trade are developed, and housing agencies are naturally indispensable. Looking for an agency that looked pleasing to the eye, the two followed a young clerk on Gabriel's half-day tour.
The dark-hearted businessmen in the different world have not yet extended their magic to the real estate field, and there is no real estate craze. Even in a more prosperous seaport city like Gabriel, the house price is not very expensive, and renting is naturally cheaper. .
It doesn’t matter whether the location is good or bad, because most of the time is on the boat, and there is no need to think about commuting every morning.
From high-end apartments in the prosperous area, to luxury villas in the suburbs, to ordinary houses in the downtown area...Finally, I went to most of the city, almost visited Gabriel, and finally was near the sea. Find a satisfactory place.
"Yes, this is it!"
