Chapter 260 Twenty Thousand Nautical Miles
However, Richard also wanted to see what kind of medicine the evil whip Naga was selling in the gourd.
Judging from the opponent's current attitude, it doesn't look like they are here to fight them.
Richard thought for a while and said through the colorful conch: "Everyone from the Evil Whip Clan, what is your purpose of coming here this time?"
There was silence on the other side.
It turns out that the three wizards who whipped Naga just now have sensed it, and there are actually three rare human wizards stationed on the Lighthouse instead of one.
One of them in particular has unfathomable strength.
No wonder the sea ship in front of me can kill sea monsters like giant squid.
This immediately made them change their attitude. Originally, they had planned to verbally threaten the human wizards, but now it seems that they have forgotten it.
It was still the charming voice of the female Naga, which came from the conch: "Dear human beings, we came here this time to buy the body of the sea monster just now. For you humans, the body of the sea monster is It’s of no use.”
When he heard that the Evil Whip Naga was here to kill the sea monster's corpse, Richard refused directly before he even waited for the offer.
"Sorry, we don't sell it! This is my first time eating sea monster meat. It tastes quite good." Richard said calmly.
Although Richard was telling the truth and he had no intention of selling, this was not the case when the words fell into the ears of the Evil Whip Naga trio.
"Nathaniel, I just used my secret technique and sensed the breath of fresh extraordinary organizations on the human ship. I didn't expect that this time I actually used the Giant Touch Whip!" The male evil whip Naga holding a harpoon was very excited. Said with certainty.
"Damn humans, their purpose of not selling must be to take the opportunity to blackmail us."
Obviously, they misunderstood what Richard meant and thought that Richard wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail them.
Nathaniel, the leader of the three, thought for a while and said: "Now the initiative is in the hands of humans. I think we should offer a sincere price. If they don't agree, there is nothing we can do!"
The other two thought for a while, nodded, and agreed to Nathaniel's suggestion.
The current situation is stronger than humans, and it is impossible for them to force the human wizards on the opposite ship to sell them the Giant Touch Whip.
"Human powerhouses, what we actually want to buy is the Giant Touch Whip, the extraordinary tissue generated in the giant touch squid. We are buying it with great sincerity this time. For this reason, we are willing to bid ten high-level magic stones. , to purchase the Giant Touch Whip."
At this time, a deep male Naga voice came from the conch in Richard's hand.
"This price is considered high in any sea area!"
Ten high-level magic stones? This suddenly made Richard swallow the words of rejection that he was about to blurt out.
The bid was unexpectedly high.
Tino, who was beside him, was also excited and his face was slightly red. Although he knew that the extraordinary organization of the Giant Touch Whip would be more popular among the sea tribe, he did not expect to sell it for such a high price.
After a while, Tino realized that most of the current ownership of the Giant Touch Whip was in Richard's hands.
Tino turned to look at Richard, winked quickly, and whispered: "Sir, this price is indeed very sincere. If you have no other arrangements, you might as well sell it to them directly."
"By the way, we can also ask them to escort us out of the deep sea area. If there are evil whip naga to escort us along the way, the safety of our trip will be much higher."
As soon as Richard saw Tino's expression, he knew that he was moved. From this point of view, Evil Whip Naga's bid was still very sincere. In addition, Tino's final proposal was also very reasonable.
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through his mind. After thinking for a moment, Richard said to the colorful conch:
"Although the price is a bit low, I have two small requirements. If you can agree, the deal will be completed."
"Dear human being, what are your requirements? You might as well tell me."
"First of all, you have to escort us out of the deep sea area."
"That's no problem. What about another request?"
The evil whip naga named Nathaniel looked at the two people on the left and right, and saw that both companions nodded. He breathed a sigh of relief. Although this request from humans was a bit of a waste of time, it was easy for them to do. arrive.
It's nothing more than driving away some sea monsters in the way.
"The second small request is that I hope you can give me a copy of the sea map of your Evil Whip Clan." Richard said slowly.
Richard's words silenced the other party for a while.
For the sea people, sea charts are like maps on the human continent.
Would a human wizard provide a map to a sea wizard?
Doesn’t this mean betrayal of the entire human race?
"Human powerhouse, please change the conditions, this will never work!"
Richard smiled slightly. He had already expected this answer.
Just listen to Richard continue to say to the colorful conch: "Then I would like to ask the specific location of an island, this is the head office."
"This." The other party hesitated for a moment and then said: "Human powerhouse, please tell me the name of the island first. I can't guarantee that you will know it."
"Basileus Island in the Summer Sea." When Richard finished speaking, a gleam came out of his eyes.
This was the result of the flash of inspiration in Richard's mind just now.
He suddenly thought that for humans, there were too many restricted areas for humans in the boundless sea.
But for the sea people, there are much fewer restrictions.
If the three evil whip Nagas in front of him really know Basileus Island, Richard will make a lot of money.
As soon as Richard finished speaking, the trio of Evil Whip Nagas on the sea began to discuss.
The leading Naga named Nathaniel asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Have you two heard of this island?"
"Not really." The Naga holding the harpoon shook his head after thinking hard.
"Well, it seems that I have heard of this island, but it is very far away from us. I think it is located on the territory of the Thorny Siren."
Nathaniel's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Then can you still draw a simple sea chart? That side of the Thornspine Siren is really far away. It's close to the edge of the Summer Sea."
The beautiful female Naga thought for a while and nodded, "If it's just a simple sea chart, it won't be a big problem."
"That's it!" Nathaniel couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Human powerhouse, we can provide you with a brief chart of Basileus Island from here to the Summer Sea. I wonder if you can accept it? Because Basileus Island is too far away from here, some of the Some of the dangers we can’t remember clearly.”
Richard couldn't help but be overjoyed. He didn't expect that the Evil Whip Naga actually knew the specific location of Basileus Island in the Summer Sea.
He just had the idea of giving it a try.
What an unexpected surprise!
Although according to them, it is just a simple chart, it is enough.
At least I can know the general direction.
It seems that after helping Mei Luo solve the family's troubles, he can go directly to Basileus Island.
Soon, Richard reached a deal with the evil whip Naga.
Richard didn't care about the ten high-level magic stones. He only accepted five, and gave the rest to Tino to distribute. Richard had promised before that he would give 20% of the loot to Everyone on the ship.
Richard took the newly acquired navigation chart and read it carefully.
"Master, is this Basileus Island? It's really far away." Stepina on the side couldn't help but clicked her tongue after looking at the map clearly.
"Yes! Very far away." Richard nodded in agreement.
This sea map is very simple. The Evil Whip Naga did not draw any key information such as the various sea tribes and races involved along the way, but only roughly drew the locations.
But this was enough for Richard to make a preliminary estimate of the distance.
If you start from the port of Loras Peninsula, it is almost 20,000 nautical miles!
The sea voyage is estimated to take more than two months.
What a long distance!
From this point of view, it is very important to find a reliable ocean-going ship with an experienced captain and a series of crew members.
After all, even he might fall into the mouth of a sea monster if he stays in the deep sea area for a long time without land on all sides.
The ocean is not humanity’s home ground.
During the remaining five days of the voyage, with the fleet escorted by the Evil Whip Naga, the human fleet headed by the Lighthouse had a safe and smooth journey.
Soon, the fleet left the deep sea area and arrived at the shallow sea area near the Loras Peninsula.
"Sir Richard, we have passed more than half of the trip now. Next we will enter the shallow sea area, which will soon be the territory of the Giant Claw Lobster Man." Tino saw Richard looking into the distance on the bow of the boat, so he came over to introduce him. road.
Richard nodded, "So, we have passed the most dangerous part of the voyage safely?"
"Yes, sir, the Giant Claw Lobster has an agreement with us humans and will not take the initiative to attack us."
"How long will it take until we arrive at the port on the Loras Peninsula?"
"Well, we are currently bypassing the Siren Kraken's territory. Normally, we should arrive at the Abidjan port on the Loras Peninsula in five days."
As soon as Tino finished speaking, Richard pointed to the side and said: "There seem to be three ships flying the skull and crossbones flag there, and they are heading towards us quickly!"
"Although I'm not sure that the other party is definitely hostile, I think with the skull as a symbol, apart from us undead wizards, there should be only pirates on the ocean, right?" Richard said with a smile.
This immediately made Tino's face turn as red as pig liver. He had just told Lord Richard that he had passed the most dangerous area, but unexpectedly, pirates showed up here.
I don't know which pirates are blind, but I must destroy them all.
Tino looked at what Richard pointed out and frowned slightly: "It's the flag of the Black Sail Pirates. Logically speaking, this area should not be the area they frequent. If I remember correctly, they should usually be They mainly attack small merchant ships near the port of Abidjan."
"I don't know what happened, but they actually appeared here this time and dared to attack a large sea ship like ours."
Tino couldn't understand for a while.
At this time, the observers on the mast obviously discovered the enemy's situation and couldn't help but start to sound the alarm.
After a while, Richard heard Captain Caspe's loud voice:
"Passengers, please return to your cabin immediately! Pirates are attacking!"
"All sailors, get to your stations! Prepare the ballistae!!"
After a series of orders were laid out, Captain Casper came to Richard and Tino with a curse and said:
"Sir, it's the Black Sail Pirates. These blind people actually came to cause trouble for the Lighthouse!"
"We must teach them a lesson this time!"
Obviously, Captain Caspe is very confident in the current combat effectiveness of the Lighthouse, especially after defeating the sea monster Giant Touch Squid, he is even more confident and almost proud.
No wonder, who can have three official wizards on board to protect him?
Now for these black-sail pirates who came to seek death, Captain Casper wished in his heart that there would be more of them.
Under the attack of the three wizards, the Black Sail Pirates would probably die as many as they came!
The sailors had already put on armor and helmets at this time, and were holding weapons such as shields, short spears or scimitars.
Unlike fighting against sea monsters, fighting against pirates is mainly based on side-to-side combat, that is, hand-to-hand combat.
In previous battles with sea monsters, sailors never dared to wear too heavy armor.
Because in the face of the sea monster's extremely powerful attack, there is almost no difference between wearing it and not wearing it. A single blow is likely to kill them. On the contrary, the heavy armor makes it difficult for the sailors to move and cannot flexibly avoid the sea monster's attacks. attack.
——
At this time, on the pirate ship "Leviathan".
A one-eyed man wearing an old pirate hat and a thick black beard on his face was respectfully saying to a mysterious man in black robes in front of him: "Well, sir, we really want to attack the ocean." Boat?"
"You know, they all have ship-guarding wizards on board. Three ships means there are three ship-guarding wizards."
"Don't worry! You are responsible for the attack, One-Eye, and I will deal with the three ship-guarding wizards, who are just the first-level guys." The man in black robe spoke Common Language with a very strange accent.
It sounded uncomfortable, as if the lingua franca was not his native language.
"Okay! Then follow the orders of Lord Black Robe."
"I'll make preparations for the boarding battle now!"
"Go!"
Although the pirate captain named "One-Eyed" has a ferocious appearance and strong momentum, he has a natural fear when facing the mysterious man in black robe.
After wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, he immediately exited the room, as if he didn't want to stay any longer.
After the one-eyed captain left, the mysterious man in black robe took off his hood, revealing a shiny bald head.
"Ocott Norris is really interesting. He actually paid such a high price to ask me to capture his niece alive. My name is Melo Norris."
"A little guy who is just a third-level wizard apprentice actually wants me to take action personally, and he specifically told me to do it halfway."
On the deck of the pirate ship Leviathan.
A bearded man whispered to the captain "One Eye":
"Captain, why should we listen to this man in black robe? Can't we just kill him?"
"If you directly attack an ocean-going ship with strong defenses, even if you can win, your brothers will suffer heavy casualties!"
Obviously, the bearded man is not willing to chew on such hard bones as ocean-going ships.
This time they came to this sea area from the offshore inexplicably. It was said that they were helping a mysterious man perform a mission. He and his brothers did not understand this very much.
