A fast sailing merchant ship got rid of the pirate's attack and finally ran aground in the distant star ring.

Unfortunately, the wizard at the helm of the ship was killed by the flames of war, and the master mage with the ship was also injured in the battle. Repairing the magic helm has become a top priority. If you continue to stay on the edge of this distant crystal wall system, you may encounter many more Bo maliciously looted.

The head of the caravan, Mr. Gus, was furious. The losses suffered during the voyage to and from Klein Tianyu had reached an unbearable level.

Mr. Manny Polburn, the captain of the Charizard, persuaded his boss not to get angry because of the unsatisfactory journey.

"Polben, how can you sit still? Listen to what the first officer said, our crew lost 30% and the cargo lost 40%. How much should I pay for this trip? At least 5,000 gold coins! Rounding up is 10,000 gold coins. Ten thousand gold coins is enough for us to buy a property close to the city center in Deepwater City. I will pay for one house for one trip, three houses for three trips in two years, and fifteen houses for ten years!"

Manny stroked his beard lightly with his rough and wide palm, and smiled flatteringly: "Even so, it will take you a thousand years to go bankrupt. The gold coins you have are enough to buy a title in any country."

"You don't understand business and capital!" Gus stared, "A gold coin may be very valuable in Tianyu Kingdom, but in Klein Tianyu, it is far less valuable than a fine iron coin. Do you know why? Because there is a war Frequently, iron can be used as a general equivalent logistics... The wealth I have is insignificant in the multiverse. The children of the arcane merchants are richer than me, and a small magic rudder dares to sell 100,000 gold coins, which is worse than stealing money. quick……"

Manny stood up and walked out calmly. His boss was self-made, with excellent business acumen, adventurous and gambling spirit, but his usual personality was nagging, reminiscent of his chattering wife at home.

"Where are you going? My captain, I was about to speak!"

"It's urgent, sir. I'm going to visit the injured Master Mage. May the benevolent gods of the kingdom of heaven also cast their benevolent eyes on us outsiders."

"Well then, remember to say hello for me... Ah, no, let's go together."

Manny's smile remained unchanged, but his pace quickened a little.

Arriving at the infirmary on the ship, before Manny opened the door, he heard a passionate guitar sound.

Gus showed a happy expression, "Listen to this beautiful piano sound, this must be Mr. Stein using music to help patients."

"I doubt whether such loud music can have a good effect." The captain was worried about this.

The infirmary is very narrow, there is only one hospital bed, and the aisle between the bed and the desk cabinet can only accommodate sideways. There are four people crowded in such a narrow place.

A blond man with blue eyes was sitting at the end of the bed, playing the guitar with his legs crossed. The ship's doctor pulled the chair away and listened to the music with his head resting on his elbows. The pale mage apprentice huddled on the small stool by the window, staring at the unconscious mentor.

Bards interpret the universe through music, and they can cast magic in musical form. At this time, the middle-aged mage on the hospital bed was surrounded by white magical aura. He struggled, as if he was not very safe in a coma.

"Captain." The apprentice just nodded when he saw Manny, and immediately stood up when he saw Gus, "Boss!"

Manny nodded to the apprentice, showing a gentle smile, not offended by the man's contemptuous attitude.

A spellcaster is a treasure, even if this apprentice can only do a few tricks, he might transform himself into a celebrity in front of the boss someday.

"Is our helmsman all right? Has the smiling lady, Tymora, blessed this poor man with luck?" Mr. Gus rubbed his hands expectantly.

The ship doctor picked up the case in his hand, and reported a bunch of injuries like the name of the dish. Every time he said a word, the face of the mage apprentice turned paler, the smile on the boss's face became more and more stiff, and the captain showed a sad expression and groaned. The troubadours also turned to dirges.

"... All in all, he needs to rest. He won't be able to work in the fields for about a month."

"Ah, he can't die?"

"When did I say he was going to die?"

Everyone was speechless.

The bard said with a smile: "The music will take care of my friend, and he will be fine."

The boss, Gus, patted the bard on the shoulder enthusiastically as soon as he entered the door, obviously having a good impression of this fancy man.

Manny knew the real reason. They picked up this bard on a passing asteroid, and followed the fleet to Klein Tianyu. With his stomach full of stories and his piano skills, he got along well on board. Everyone loves it. But the boss likes him only because he picked up a spellcaster for nothing, with food and housing included, and no salary.

"As long as the pirates who should have killed a thousand knives didn't hurt you, my friend, our long journey would be so boring without your music and stories! Stan, tell us about Spider-Man's life in New York when you have time." Facts. I've never heard of a hero based on an evil spider. Maybe he's an oddity like Drizzt?"

"No, Spider-Man is a good boy. He lives in a society that doesn't believe in Rose, but a guy named God."

"interesting."

Gus looked at the apprentice mage, "Mr. Dean, how many spells have you learned now? Please surprise me."

The apprentice mage's face turned red, and he stammered, "It's okay, there aren't many, but it's better than yesterday."

Manny was disappointed. He probably didn't hide his expression well. The mage apprentice glanced at Manny, lowered his head, and grabbed the index finger of his right hand with his left hand, as if trying to pull it out.

"Really? Did your mentor teach you how to control the magic helm?"

"Taught a little. I can handle it."

"Yeah." Mr. Gus nodded with a smile, "Mr. Stan Lee, would you like to try driving the magic helm?"

The mage apprentice suddenly raised his head, then lowered it quickly. Manny noticed the discontent and anxiety in the young man's eyes. Anyone who has been robbed of their job will do this, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"Of course." Stan stood up with a smile, "I am willing to do my part for the Charizard. As long as I can reach Waterdeep City as soon as possible, even if I encounter a group of Nugis, I will pick up the guitar and fight with them without saying a word." fight."

"Ah, don't, don't be the Newgi monster, we have encountered enough troubles." Mr. Gus took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The three of them came to the bow cockpit together, and the dwarf "Thunderbolt Pami" from Klein Tianyu was furious.

"This thing is broken! What can I do? I am not a magic rudder dealer of the secret magic merchant clan. What do you mean by giving me a wrench? Is it possible that I can use this iron bump to rub a magic ship?" No?"

The damaged magic rudder he mentioned was a luxurious red leather reclining chair. The helmsman usually lay on the magic rudder, relying on the spiritual connection with this artifact to control the power of the ship.

Now the upper part of this chair is heavily scarred. Through the knife marks and bullet holes, you can see the broken alloy components inside, and the blood that cannot be washed off is still stained on it, like a wounded man who has been hacked to death , the doctor saw it and bluntly said that he couldn't save him, so he left.

The dwarf repairman's small fist angrily hammered the magic helm, and all the gears fell out with one punch. The little man has a big temper, no wonder he is called Perak Pami.

The first officer on the side smiled and said good things, but it was his pestering that made the dwarf repairman furious.

Captain Manny came to smooth things over with a smile: "Pammy, my friend, I am as angry as you, but can you find a way to fix this thing first? The Far Star Ring is not very safe. If we can set off earlier, we It’s just a little more safe, and we can all make a fortune by sending the goods to Waterdeep City, and then relax at the port.”

"Can't fix it! I guarantee it's broken. We'll have to use scrolls to create a makeshift magic helm."

Mr. Gus felt a pain in his heart when he heard the words. Creating a small magic rudder is a six-ring spell, and the corresponding scrolls are also extremely expensive. The market price of a scroll is above 5,000 gold coins. Although a powerful mage can maintain the effect of this spell for several months, which is enough to support a business run across the sky, it is still a loss to do so.

If you want to read the six-ring scroll, you have to wait for the injured mage to wake up, and other people cannot do it.

Manny persuaded the dwarf craftsmen to try their best to repair it, and they could make any request, and they tried their best to meet it.

Gus said nothing about Manny calling the shots. Although he was the boss, only the captain had the final say on the ship.

Pammy said with a sullen face: "I can't fix the magic rudder, but I can still find a way to fix the holes on the ship. Let the crew go to the surrounding space to explore, and it's best to catch some gossamer spaceships. Their skin can be boiled. .and then mine some luminous rocks, and I'll try to make a chemical propulsion, at least make this wreck move." (End of this chapter)
