The Legend of Fatality

Modra-Tarik stood at the bow of the ship, and the sea was humid and thick, full of salty taste. By human standards, he is already an old man with white hair and a long face covered by the sea breeze.

The years left a mark on him-he leaned on a cane, with a black eye patch on his left eye, inlaid with this moment of ruby.

However, it seems that aging has not diminished his pride or hindered his success. At least, he expects his crew to still treat him this way. As the captain of the slave ship Firefox, when he decided to spend 15,000 gold coins to buy the Firefox, he asked the shipbuilding craftsmen to ensure the speed of the ship and the internal space, and there was no wind Use paddling.

At his quirky request, the Firefox has a narrower width than most ships, as well as narrow spaces, including the captain ’s room. Its captain's room is less than one hundred and fifty square feet in size, and basically has beds, tables and hangers outside the long cabinet, there is no space.

The streamlined hull allows it to return to the empire from the slavery in the south at least 28 days. Even if there is no monsoon season, he can return within three months.

This made him earn the cost of the entire ship in the first year, although most of it was re-spent on sailors, supplies, and lords and lower officials in various ports.

This peculiar ship can carry 125 sailors, of which 80 are paddlers, but Modra will hire half more paddlers and mercenaries to protect his property. You can also carry 300 slaves, but this ship rarely loads slaves as required, and the number of regular loads is between 400 and 500.

In Modra ’s words, the slaves will die on the way. However, the actual situation is that Modra will stop at the port halfway through, sell some slaves, exchange goods, and continue to the next port.

Over the years, with the investment of Modra, he has become more and more smooth, even though several countries along the coast have apparently banned slave trafficking. However, through the great benefits brought by the use of slaves, in conjunction with Modra's money offensive, many port officials will allow Modra to sneak into the port at night.

It's just that when people are out of luck, in Tyria's waters, Modra is stared at by the 'sea dog'. The Earl of Hengdauer, the ‘sea hound’ of Tennister, is the border Count of Istania.

Known as the mainland territory of Istana in the northwest of the city of Tyria, it is a strange country. Their nobles are the oldest noble system that survived after the disintegration of the old empire.

But no one on the mainland cares about the fallen remnants of the empire. But as witnesses of the former empire, the rulers of Bibari and Margarita, who had the blood of the old empire, declared themselves emperors of the Istanian Empire.

For the empire's throne, they all made a lot of efforts, but the end result was defeated by the new empire established on the land of the old empire. Can only choose to take a step back, give up the throne, facing the new empire of many powerful enemies and have no time to manage the rulers of these two cities to fight for power and profit, so they then withdrew their troops and returned to their homeland.

Eventually, he gave up the name of the empire and became the country of Istania, but inside became a relatively divided kingdom. The lords who fought each other revolved around the most powerful Bibari and Margarita. Due to external pressure, temporarily the two strongest city-states joined together.

Tennesse ‘Sea Hound’ Earl Hengdauer is the border Count of Istanbul. His ancestors have a noble blood, but under the two powerful city-states, he can barely pass the day.

Until he completely turned to Bibari, he spent the assets left by his ancestors and built a huge warship. He drove this warship to travel from the narrow and long commercial states of Burtania, Istania and Tiriya. On the coastline.

He attacked pirates and slave trade ships like a hound, but he was different from other people's imagination. He rarely attacked merchant ships. The reason may be that he is still looking forward to restoring the glory of his ancestors. Perhaps pirates and slave traders can bring more reputation and no lower profits than merchant ships. This allowed him to travel in the waters of other countries without being attacked by the navy of other countries.

This time, when he first entered the sea of ​​Tyria, he found a prey, a strangely shaped boat. The Firefox is famous in this sea area. Judging by the waterline Tennister that the Firefox is full, no, he is overloaded with slaves or commodities, which makes him very happy.

Tannister carefully commanded the ship to deflect slightly in the direction of the wind, blocking the ‘Firefox’. As he expected, Firefox would continue to sail westward during this monsoon season when there was only the mainland towards the coast.

'S own ship is larger in size and stronger in order to ensure combat effectiveness, although it is fast in this sea area. But it can never catch up with the Firefox.

Therefore, Tennister did not plan to catch the fox from the very beginning. He wanted to rush the Firefox to the west, at the same time not let it approach the coastline, and give it no chance to supply. Eventually, he would disengage the opponent on the channel of the Estonia territory turning north, and drive it to the Great West Sea. There, it said there was no escape.

Modra, as the captain who sails on the sea all the year round, is actually not worried when he is targeted by the beagle of Tennister ‘Sea Hound’ Earl Hengdorg. He decisively steered the helmsman to the sea, deviated from the course, and kept a distance from the other party.

Faced with these enthusiastic captains, Modra's basic coping method is to let the other party find that they can't catch up with themselves and then give up actively.

It was just this time that he had miscalculated, but when he discovered that ‘sea seal’ was not trying to attack himself, but instead of letting him approach the coast and land, he had been hanging far from the sight of ‘Firefox’. He guessed the other party's plan, it should be to drive himself to the windless zone of the Daxi Sea this season. But after that? Do you want to stop supplying yourself?

Modra guessed the opposite idea, presumably found a large number of slaves on his ship, and the supplies were insufficient. Allow yourself to die in the windless zone, and then surrender after you can't hold on. Hey, Modra suddenly laughed out of her own, thinking to wait until the windless zone, let you see the power of paddling.

Both took their own plans, and the time passed quickly. Modra watched the continent farther and farther, and finally disappeared in the eyes, and the black spots far away from the horizon still followed his buttocks. There was still wind, and Modra stood proudly at the stern, waiting for the wind to disappear. Take a look, it is my fox who died in the windless zone, or your `` sea seal '', Modra returned to his small captain, Murray, and took a good sleep.

Six days later, Modra entered the windless zone, and the ‘sea seal’ was still behind, but the black spots in the distance were barely visible. Modra was ready to pit the 'sea fur seal', throwing the paddle without order.

Two more days later, in the windless zone, I could only follow the current, looking at the 'sea fur seal ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ who was completely invisible. Modra ordered paddling, and even he ordered to direct the direction of the road. , He wanted to see the fur seal seeing his expression.

It's just that this idea didn't make him happy for a long time. Just a day later, Modra saw the little black spot of the battleship of `` Sea Fur ''. The next day you could see the vague appearance of the ‘sea seal’ battleship. On the third day, the ‘sea seal’ finally slowed down, but Modra could already see the dense crowd on the ship opposite.

Tennister was satisfied with his foresight. The cost of hiring the five mages to wear is extremely expensive, partly because of the particularity of the mages and partly because they need to board the ship for a long time. Fortunately, along the coast, you often call the port, and you do n’t know how long it takes to end the chase.

The five mages can make the warship sail in the windless zone for nearly half a day, which is much longer than the paddle, not to mention that when the battleship does not need a pulpman, it can carry more soldiers.

Modra never thought that he would be chased so miserably. If he had n’t hired more than half a pulpman, and the sailors kept rotating, he would n’t be able to persevere for long. Maybe it was God's favor, and a storm saved the Firefox. Modra kept the helmsman heading westward and drove frantically towards the Great West Sea. First throw away the 'sea seal', especially after a short attack on your ship, a lot of damage needs to be repaired.

After the storm, Modra, who had escaped the pursuit of the "sea seal", remained proud on the surface, but felt more helpless. As a mage, he can condense fresh water from the water vapor in the sea. Although he cannot satisfy everyone, it is barely enough. But the food is not enough and the ship needs to be repaired.

Now he can only expect a miracle to appear. When he expects a miracle, there is a shout from the top of the mast.

"Captain! Mainland China! ...... There seems to be a town!"
