My Magic Age
Chapter 934 36. Captain Jacques
On the top floor of the third slave ship, there is a luxuriously decorated living room, which is Captain Johnny Jones's exclusive room.
Pushing open the door of the room, we filed into this room that looked more like a showroom. Almost all the furniture was decorated with gold and gems, and the skulls of various sea beasts were hung on the walls.
There were several magical metal sculptures on the wooden shelf at the entrance. Helena reached out and picked up a mithril ornament from the entrance. This was a bust of an elf girl carved out of mithril. The elf girl was portrayed vividly, and she was carrying an exquisite ruby short bow behind her. Helena carefully examined the sculpture.
Helena turned her head and said to me: "This is a work of art from Buenos Aires. At the Imperial Capital Auction House, such an elf statue can be auctioned for at least a hundred magic crystals. It seems that Captain Johnny is really rich!"
Becky held Helena's arm, her eyes full of curiosity, looking at the gorgeous ceiling in the room. The ceiling of the entire room turned out to be a magnificent scene of the Cloud City. The azure background was painted with white clouds, and some winged people and angels were hiding in the clouds. Becky smacked her lips and said, "It seems that slave trading is really a lucrative business."
There are several different styles of magic weapons hanging on the walls of the room, including long swords, short flying spears, shields, etc., all of which are excellent weapons plated with magic metals.
Right next to the bedroom, the door of a secret room had been removed by the Construct Knights. The secret room was filled with more than a dozen treasure chests. The lids of the treasure chests were opened, revealing countless gold coins and colorful magic gems. The yellow-orange color and the brilliance of the gems dazzled my eyes.
Ying Li and I looked at each other in surprise. Seeing the luxurious decoration in the room, we knew that Captain Johnny was a wealthy slave trader, but we didn't expect that he was so rich that the room was filled with treasure chests filled with gold coins.
People often say: Magicians only have magic crystals in their eyes, and will never have any feelings for gold coins. I think that must be because he has never seen boxes of gold coins.
Noah and Shirley Newman stood beside the walnut round table. Noah was followed by Knight Lanter. Jacques and Dylan were also sitting on one side. Their eyes fell on a piece of parchment in the middle of the round table. To be precise, it was not a complete piece of magic parchment. Judging from the tear marks on its edge, it was half a piece of magic parchment.
It looked like a sea chart. The whole parchment was covered with wave patterns. I guess those waves should represent the sea. Those circles with simple tree patterns should represent dozens of small islands. There were also some sea beasts depicted in the sea. The surface of this magic parchment was a little yellow and looked very old.
"Is this a sea chart?" I asked Jacques.
Among us, only Jacques knew a little about sailing. He had been in the fleet of Galapagos City for half a year before. He learned navigation at the beginning. In the past few days, he has been following Captain Bronte like a little follower to learn sailing.
Jacques shook his head and said, "The chart is not like this. The simplest chart should also have channel lines and ocean current lines. Some charts also have monsoon marks, but this chart does not have these things."
"Maybe this is a treasure map!" Shirley Newman blinked and said. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, she smiled shyly, then picked up the treasure map and shook it in her hands.
"But it's just half a treasure map, what's the use?" Senior Dylan shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
Noah looked at the magic parchment and said, "Maybe this is a treasure map left by a pirate king before. If that's the case, in addition to gold coins and gems, there must be more magic crystals and some rare magic materials, magic metals, etc. in that huge treasure. If we can get it, maybe we can rebuild a teleportation magic circle!"
"This idea sounds good," Senior Dylan's eyes fell on the magic parchment. He tried to see some clues from this magic parchment, but he looked at it for a long time but found nothing.
"Even if it is a treasure map, it is only half of it. What's the use of it?" I said.
Everyone in the room fell silent at once. My words were like a bucket of cold water poured on everyone's head. The half treasure map fell back on the round table, and no one looked at it again.
Senior Dylan made a slap and said to me: "You guys chat, I'll go back to the room first. There are still many runes to be entered. Jijia, you have to help me later!"
"Got it, senior." I agreed.
Noah looked at me and said, "Then what should we do next?"
"Of course, take everything with you and go to Conason Island as planned." I said it without thinking.
This was something we had decided long ago, but the small change that occurred was that Captain Bronte died.
Without Captain Bronte, the Bellan seemed to have lost its soul. I looked at the Bellan anchored on the other side of the slave ship. The sailors on the Bellan were very calm. They were quite calm.
I looked through the glass window at the sailors squatting on the deck. The sailors on these slave ships also need to be recruited as soon as possible. These sailors have been staying on the sea for many years, and they know this sea better than we do.
"We need these three ships, and none of them can be lost. If we want to build our own fleet in the future, these ships can be used. Those sailors can't all be killed! We must recruit them as soon as possible and leave here immediately. God knows when Boris's men will catch up." I said to everyone.
After a naval battle, we not only captured two five-masted sailing ships, but also obtained a large amount of gold coins. The most important thing is that after winning this victory, our confidence has increased greatly. We know that although the road ahead is difficult, it is always the first step.
I continued: "Each of the three ships must have our people, otherwise once those sailors defect and drive the ship away, we can't catch up even if we want to."
My proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone.
In this case, we are destined to live on three ships separately. Noah and Shirley Newman stay on this slave ship, I take Yingli to another slave ship, and Jacques and June return with three constructed knights back to the Belan. Fortunately, we magicians have magic brooms, which usually fly around on the sea, and it is quite easy to connect.
Senior Dylan lives on the Bellan, and I have to travel back and forth between the slave ship and the Bellan every day, so although Jacques's strength is a little weak, it doesn't matter, at least he has become friends with the sailors on the Bellan.
Then, I stared at Jacques and said, "Also, Jacques, you will be the captain."
Jacques' eyes widened, his mouth opened in a '0' shape, and said, "Me?... But I'm just an apprentice captain, I don't know how to really drive a ship."
Jacques seemed a little guilty and said to me unconfidently.
I reached out and patted his shoulder, and said to him affirmatively: "You are not asked to drive. Your task is to take us to Conason Island according to Captain Bronte's nautical chart. Can you read the nautical chart?"
Jacques said: "I can."
I asked him again: "Can you identify the direction at sea?"
Jacques said: "I can."
I asked again: "Do you know where we are now? I mean, can you mark our current position on the nautical chart?"
Jacques was a little more confident and said to me: "Yes."
I punched him in the chest, then found a unique brooch from the treasure chest in the secret room, pinned it on his clothes, and said to him: "Very good, you are the first captain of our Gino fleet, of course, I hope not the last one."
Jacques' face flushed, but he seemed to like this new position very much, and nodded to me heavily.
Then he secretly glanced at Noah. Noah stood in front of him, put a captain's hat on his head, helped him straighten it, patted his shoulder heavily, and said to him affirmatively: "You can do it, Jacques."
I walked to the window, opened it, and let the salty sea breeze blow in. The bloody smell in the air had almost disappeared. The sailors were working hard to clean the blood on the deck, and there were sailors hanging down from the side of the ship along the rope to repair the big hole in the side of the ship.
These sailors performed very hard, and it can be seen that they all have the desire to survive.
I said to Noah, "Let's recruit those sailors now."
Noah looked at the sailors with ferocious faces and asked me, "How should we recruit them?"
I held the window frame with one hand and put my arm around Noah's shoulder with the other hand, and said to him, "I have the most experience in this. When I was in the Hiero plane, I recruited a guy who was more powerful than these sailors - a spider warrior!"
He couldn't believe it, and asked me with a surprised expression, "How did you convince him?"
"I cut off the heads of ten spider warriors in front of him, and then he surrendered." I spread my hands and said to Noah. "Either obey or die!"
Those sailors were even more spineless than we originally expected. When I said to these sailors, 'If you are willing to submit to your new master, Viscount Noah, then he will generously pardon you. 'The sailors saw that we didn't kill them, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and then they lay on the deck like they were exhausted.
Before all the sailors lay down lazily, Kalancuo whipped them with the whip in his hand. Kalancuo showed no mercy this time. Facing these sailors who were used to being lax, there was no need to be polite. This whip made of green vines soaked in oil with barbs could take off a piece of flesh from the body, and the sailors were beaten to pieces.
After just a dozen whips, the sailors were more obedient than the recruits, standing on the deck with a look of fear.
I said to Kalancuo: "You have to work harder these days to make them remember our rules clearly."
Kalancuo pulled the corner of his mouth and nodded slightly.
The sailors became silent and dared not say a word.
In this way, Captain Jacques took us to sail on this vast ocean.
We used thundering means to suppress all the sailors on the slave ship and completely disbanded the original organization of the slave ship. The sailors who were originally valued by Captain Johnny were all assigned to the dirtiest and most tiring places. Those sailors who had been bullied on the slave ship before were promoted by us.
After they gained power, they began to take crazy revenge on the sailors who had bullied them. Those sailors soon learned what obedience was and what to do in order to avoid being whipped.
Happy May Day, everyone
