Fast Travel: I Don't Want to Save the World

Chapter 186 The Era of Great Navigation (25)
"You don't recognize me when you put on clothes?"

Upon hearing this, Rhodes blushed. Did the man mean that she could get to know him if he took off his clothes?
Where is it again, need to undress?

Rhodes looked at Ye Qing and said nothing.

"You need to be beaten?" She glanced at him.

"Girl, last time at the brothel, you made me lose face. We were doing other things at the time and didn't perform well. Now, I challenge you."

Ye Qing didn't respond yet, but Rhodes was taken aback.

"Challenge?" Rhodes stared at Jasper, suddenly revealed a look of enlightenment, and said, "You want to challenge her?"

Jasper is a full head taller than Ye Qing, no matter in terms of size or age, he has an obvious advantage over Ye Qing, and Ye Qing, Rhodes has seen her before when he was dealing with the front ship of the Double Ax Pirates at sea She is indeed agile, but she is far from being able to deal with the bear-like man standing in front of them at this moment.

Jasper was tall, with a mighty appearance, and at first glance he was not the type to be trifled with.

Rhodes didn't know how Ye Qing provoked him, but when Jasper said that he wanted to challenge her, he meant to bully her, how could Rhodes allow the other party to bully his friend in front of him!
Only then did Rhodes open his mouth. Jasper looked at Ye Qing and asked, "Who is he?"

"Rod, borrow your sword."

Rhodes drew his sword, but did not hand it to Ye Qing. He said to Jasper: "If you want to challenge her, beat me first."

Rhodes rushed over as he said that. Jasper's reaction was much better than last time in the brothel. He turned slightly to avoid Rhodes' first blow. At the same time, Jasper turned around Turning around, a dagger turned in his hand, and immediately cut through the bag on Rhodes' waist.

The two stood side by side.

The dagger was spinning in Jasper's hand. He deliberately glanced at Rhodes' waist and raised the right corner of his mouth.

Rhodes turned his neck, clenched his sword tightly, sank his lower body, and rushed towards Jasper again.

The swords collided and rubbed against each other, making ear-piercing sounds. Even against Rhodes, who was beyond ordinary, Jasper was not inferior.

But after a few strokes, Jasper gradually lost the wind.

Jasper's strength is not as strong as Rhodes'.

The two wanted to continue, but Ye Qing interrupted them.

"Rhode, it's time to go."

Rhodes put away his sword and went to the boat.

However, Jasper slowly pulled out a thin dagger and pointed it at Rhodes' vest.

Just as the dagger flew towards Rhodes, there was only a crisp sound, and a copper coin hit the dagger.

The dagger deflected and fell to the ground.

Ye Qing gave him a cold look, but he raised his eyebrows and smiled at her.

There was a favorable wind from Wendy to Naples Island. Three days later, Ye Qing and Rhodes arrived at Naples Island.

Naples Island is the largest island near the mainland of Nolan. It is sunny all year round, with abundant rainfall and moderate temperature. There are many green plants, flowers and insects that cannot be seen in other places on the island. Therefore, Naples Island is also the place with the most pharmacists. The place.

"The pharmacist we are looking for is called Felix. He is very knowledgeable about poisons. We have been to the Poison Swamp together."

In a tree house, they find Flix.

He was doing some experiment, adding another liquid into the bottle, and white gas came out from the mouth of the bottle.

His right hand is not particularly handy as it only has three fingers.

Felix sat down to listen to Rhodes after finishing the work at hand.

Knowing the purpose of Rhodes' visit, Flix asked, "Are you going to find the Lost City?"

"Bario captured Gloria, and their destination is the Lost City." Rhodes didn't hide anything, and roughly said everything, especially the thing that Bario killed the crew.

After hearing this, Felix asked, "Is the ship ready?"

"It's being remodeled, and it should be almost done when we go back."

"Let's go then. I'll pack up and leave tomorrow morning."

Flix got up while talking, he turned and walked out of the tree house, Ye Qing also went out, she saw him climb down the tree trunk with a little clumsy movements, walked into a dense jungle, and disappeared among the branches and leaves.

"It's so easy to convince him?" Ye Qing found it hard to believe.

"It's not as difficult as you think."

Rhodes told Ye Qing that there were two main reasons why Flix agreed to their invitation.

"Did you notice his right hand?"

Ye Qing nodded.

"It was Barrio who chopped off his little and ring fingers on his right hand."

Rhodes only knew this, but he didn't know exactly what was going on.

Anyway, Felix must hate Barrio.

"It's a coincidence that I knew him. It was when I first went to find the Lost City..."

"For decades, Flix has been researching the ghost fire. He believes that the ghost fire is not the soul of evil spirits, but has something to do with the cannon. The development of the cannon is Wendy's biggest secret, and ordinary people naturally cannot know it."

"I don't know where he heard that there is a formula for ghost fire in the Golden Temple of the Lost City. He also wants to go to the Lost City."

After listening to Rhodes, Ye Qing asked, "Can you trust him?"

"Everyone gets what they need. He wants to find the Lost City, whether it's our ship or someone else's ship. As long as he has this opportunity, he will set off, and we need him to help us provide the antidote, the poisonous gas of the Poison Swamp. Quite powerful. You heard what Adam said, there is a windless zone, and the air is filled with various poisonous gases."

It takes a lot of time to return to Wendy from Naples Island. They can only take a boat to the westernmost point of Ebbins, and then buy a carriage. From Ebbins to the south of Hay West, and finally return to Wendy .

Back at Wendy, twelve days had passed since they set off.

When they left, Rhodes agreed with Adam and another designated gunner to board the ship ten days later. Now two days later, when they arrived in the main city of Wendy, Rhodes and Ye Qing went to find Adam first.

Adam has already dealt with James' mother, and they have been waiting for Rhodes to go back in the tavern.

Adam kept the agreement, but a gunner who made an appointment with Rhodes left with the other fleet.

"You can't miss the gunner." After Adam knew about the gunner, he immediately went out to find someone.

Rhodes and Ye Qing went to Merlin Bay, and Juan's modified ship should be completed.

On the way, Rhodes looked worried again.

He just learned from Adam that the Wendy Sea Office is more strict about the installation of artillery on ordinary ships. Since pirates will rob merchant ships and remove the artillery on board to deal with them, ordinary ships can only be equipped with old-fashioned smoothbore guns.

However, if Rhodes and others are going to the Lost City, they will inevitably encounter a pirate group. If they don't have the latest artillery, it is equivalent to not having artillery.

"Without smoothbore guns, we'd be fish on the chopping block!"

"The difference is that big?"

"The old smoothbore guns were equipped many years ago. The current smoothbore guns have greatly improved the strike accuracy and flexible throwing distance. The old smoothbore guns can't be compared at all!"

　It really takes a long time to write a chapter recently. I really want to know why...why my speed has dropped significantly. It's crazy.
