Chapter Seventeen Arriving at the Destination(1/2)
The first ray of light in the morning shines on the deck.
Alka's room was arranged on the left side of the stern, and sunlight penetrated into the room through the windows.
Wake up to the tinkling bell.
After getting dressed, we went to the deck.
"Everything is ready, it will be here soon."
After hearing this, Alka leaned against the edge of the boat, stuck his head out, and looked forward.
You can see a lot of ships around, big and small.
However, due to the white fog on the sea in the early morning, the view was not very clear.
You can already see a vague outline in the white mist, which should be your destination.
At this time, the ship suddenly began to stop slowly.
In the vast white fog, a huge object broke out.
A huge warship, which Alka felt was at least about 40 meters long, sailed by.
The white waves were divided and splashed on both sides, and the splashing water felt like it was about to hit their deck.
This merchant ship is like a child next to this sailing battleship.
Alka was so shocked as he watched the sailing battleship go away.
The structure of this battleship is obviously different from the merchant ship underfoot.
It has abandoned the huge forecastle and stern, and has an extremely beautiful streamlined shape, instead of looking a bit bloated and weird like this merchant ship.
There are three tall and huge masts on the deck, and there is a single-layer gun deck below.
There are evenly distributed artillery muzzles on both sides. These artillery muzzles were deliberately opened as if to demonstrate force.
Previously, Halls Baby's rock-shattering cannons were exposed one after another.
And it is obviously much larger than the one in Halls.
The entire battleship is red and gold, and the flag on the mast is a blood-colored flag with a golden coin painted on it.
This icon Alka has been seen on the map.
It is the symbol of the Blood Gold Alliance.
Gold coin illustration on red background.
Sigurt came to Alka's side at some point.
"This is the Bloody Golden Flower, a level 4 battleship of the Alliance Navy, with a length of 43 meters and a width of 11 meters.
It has a single-layer artillery deck and is equipped with 34 artillery pieces. It is a nightmare for pirates and looks very handsome."
As he spoke, Sigurt looked at the battleship with bright eyes.
Listening to the data revealed by Sigurt, it seems that he really likes this ship.
"Really handsome."
The "Red Golden Flower" slid past, and behind it was a three-masted sail warship about the same size as a merchant ship.
There are only a few rock-shattering cannons placed on the deck.
Stopping next to the merchant ship, a person dressed in yellow and black boarded the merchant ship and talked with Halls, handed him a document, and left again.
"Who is that?"
After hearing Alka's words, Siget, who was admiring the distant battleship, turned his head and took a look.
"They are the alliance's navy. They should be pulling a ship behind us to inquire about the situation."
After a while, the ship set sail again, slowly heading towards the port of the island in the distance.
Tulan Island.
One of the important member islands in the Blood Gold Alliance and the station of the Navy's Fourth Fleet.
It is also a famous large island in the surrounding area and the place with the most prosperous commerce.
With the merchant ship and the pirate ship behind it, it slowly stopped at the berth.
The entire port has a clear view.
Parked next to the port are ships of various sizes, and several mighty warships can be seen moored in a large area not far away.
Sigurt patted Alka and asked: "I have to follow Uncle Hols to trade wheat. Do you want to follow me or go for a walk by yourself? This place is relatively safe. Just don't cause trouble."
Hearing this, Alka looked at the seaport city ahead, with various low buildings spreading out.
"I'll go shopping by myself."
"Okay, we usually rest at the white sailboat anchor. Remember to come to us when the time comes. Just walk around in the city. Don't you want to go out and hear it?"
"No problem, don't worry."
"Also, don't make large purchases on the island. You may get ripped off. Let's wait until I finish my work and join us tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll leave first."
After saying that, Alka left the ship and walked through the workers towards the seaport city not far away.
It is already morning, and residents and businessmen coming and going are active throughout the city.
The smell of sea breeze blows along the harbor from time to time.
“The freshly caught sea fish is still fresh.”
"How can I get to the Governor's Palace?"
"Join the army, join the navy, and defend your homeland."
"Mom, what's for lunch today?"
Various voices shouting and talking sounded.
Alka walked on the main road and looked at the buildings and shops on both sides. The architectural style here was not much different from that of Golden Maisui Island.
Perhaps because of the weather here, most people are wearing thin linen shirts.
The shops on both sides are about seafood and various foods, as well as some taverns.
After continuing to walk forward, it is obvious that the style here is much different.
The buildings are taller and more exquisite, and the exterior walls of each building are painted with various colors of paint. People shouting on the street can basically not be heard. Although it is still noisy, it seems much quieter.
The people coming and going are much better dressed than the residents at the harbor.
There are more cotton clothes.
The surrounding shops have turned into higher-end hotels, clothing stores, some restaurants, bakeries selling bread, etc.
When passing by the bakery, Alka took a look at the high-end breads, all of which were branded with flour from Golden Maisui Island.
But I'm not interested in it.
I wandered around for a while and noticed a lot of interesting shops.
Alka saw the store he was most interested in, a weapons shop that connected two stores.
【Golden Blade】
There are many men choosing weapons there.
Alka walked in quickly.
There was no service staff to receive him, and there were various swords hanging on the counter and on the racks behind him.
Two-handed giant sword, scimitar, dagger, stabbing sword.
The most popular one is the sailor's dagger, which is a relatively common weapon on ships.
However, none of these weapons are inferior to a silver snake.
A normal sailor's scimitar is usually worth about 100 copper swallows, and one silver snake can buy two of them.
He should have followed Sigert if he had known, mainly because he couldn't choose these weapons at all and didn't know which one was better and which one was worse.
It seems I can only take a look today.
After walking around for a while, Alka saw something strange and hurriedly walked up to it.
On the counter were one after another short, pistol-like weapons.
The appearance is more similar to a revolver, and there is also a hammer structure on the back.
"What is this weapon?"
Hearing Alka's question, the salesman at the sales counter immediately walked up and took out the pistol that Alka was looking at with a smile.
"This is a rock-shock pistol, a long-range weapon."
Shock stone? It seems that it should be based on the same principle as the stone shock cannon used on the previous ship.
To be continued...
