Working Prophet.

Chapter 121 Ocean Fire and Sea King Halberd
Seeing that the cards on the table were getting longer and longer, the boatman couldn't help holding his breath.

He grabbed the next card from his deck, turned it over and saw it was a 4 of spades, and then looked at the long line of cards on the table, but he didn't see another 4 inside, and couldn't help but sigh. Take a breath.

Somewhat unwillingly, he put the cards in his hand at the end.

A look of joy flashed in the little maid's eyes. "It's my turn!"

After speaking, she also grabbed a card, the 7 of clubs, which was also the only 7 on the table.

Fitzwilliam immediately became excited again, and when the little maid put down the 7, he was going to draw another card.

Now that there are eleven cards on the table, the probability that his next card will not be repeated is very small, so the only thing left is how many cards can be eaten.

However, before the boatman could kill all directions, Clara turned her head to look at the alarm clock on the table, and suddenly grabbed the poker on the table and put it back into the card box.

At the same time, he shouted, "Don't play anymore, Master Prophet is coming back soon! Don't tell him that I am playing cards with you later."

The boatman looked a little dazed, watched Clara take away her cards, hesitated for a while, and then sincerely begged for advice.

"Didn't you say that believers who believe in Saturday should deeply understand and understand the importance of rest and entertainment, so playing cards is also a practice?"

"It's someone else. As for me... this week's vacation has already been overdrawn." Clara stuck out her tongue and said with regret, "If I'm caught, I will definitely be scolded again, so you don't have to worry about it." Don't betray me."

"Uh... ok, ok."

After the minute hand on the alarm clock moved about fifteen more squares, there was finally a sound of horseshoes outside the door.

The little maid immediately opened the door and greeted her with enthusiasm.

Fitzwilliam quickly put down the water glass in his hand, and followed Clara out the door.

It was getting dark outside, and the stars in the sky were blinking.

A black figure rolled over from the horse, handed the reins to the little maid, then glanced at Fitzwilliam, and asked before the boatman could speak, "Did you play cards with her?"

"No, how could it be, it's impossible!" Clara was taken aback at first, and then followed up with a series of denials.

"Then what are you guys doing without sleeping in the middle of the night?" Li Yu asked rhetorically.

"........."

The little maid was dumbfounded, and the boatman also cast a helpless look at her.

"I'll give you two months to read and write [-] commonly used characters proficiently." Li Yu didn't give Clara a chance to continue her defense, and directly announced her punishment.

"Three thousand commonly used characters? Only two months?" The little maid wailed, "It's too difficult! And don't I have to rest two days a week? It's written in the precepts, isn't it? As a prophet, do you want to openly break the commandments?!"

"Of course you have to abide by the precepts. Three thousand words in two months may be very difficult for others, but your memory is so good, as long as you are willing to eat snacks, you can still do it, and it will not delay your rest." Li Yu said lightly. .

After finishing speaking, she ignored Clara who was in mourning, turned her head and said to Fitzwilliam, "You are Fitzwilliam? How is your sister now?"

"As you predicted before, she has fully recovered now," the boatman said respectfully, "My sister's survival is due to the kindness of you and Mr. Saturday, so I also want to join the weekend religion!

"Well, but I am a member of the Weiting family. My family was involved in a rebellion before, and now we are all sinners of the empire. I wonder if it is okay?"

"Of course, regardless of identity, gender and race, the door of Shuangxiuism is open to everyone. I will preach here every Friday afternoon, explain the teachings of Shuangxiuism, and hold corresponding activities. At that time You can come and join."

Seeing a look of doubt in Fitzwilliam's eyes, Li Yu added.

"Sunday Church adopts a new calendar, which counts seven days as a week, from Monday to Sunday. I will let Mary tell you the specific time later."

"Okay, okay."

"I heard from Ilea that you were a shipwright before, and you also built warships?" After a pause, Li Yu asked again.

Fitzwilliam smiled wryly, "Yes, before I was arrested, I was helping my family build the largest warship in the empire, the Neptune, but unfortunately I couldn't finish it in the end, and after I came to the western region, far away from the sea, my craft was useless The land of martial arts."

Li Yu was noncommittal when he heard the words, "What kind of weapons do you usually have on the warships you build?"

Talking about his old business, Fitzwilliam also got excited, "The warships of the Wetting family are generally equipped with rams. The rams are located below the waterline of the bow and are wrapped in bronze. As long as the rams hit the flank of the enemy ship , can cause massive damage.

"If the keel is broken, the enemy ship can be sunk directly. In addition, if the fighters on board are elite enough, we will also be equipped with a woodpecker suspension bridge.

"Well, it is to add a beak-like pointed tip to the front of the suspension bridge. As long as it penetrates the enemy ship, the soldiers on the ship can kill along the suspension bridge.

"However, the Woodpecker Suspension Bridge also has disadvantages, that is, it is too heavy, and it will affect the stability of the hull, and it is easy to capsize if encountering strong wind and waves.

"In addition, the Weiting family will also place some trebuchets on the boat, but the power of simple stones is limited, so the Weiting family also invented the ocean fire."

"Ocean fire?"

"That's right, it is a terrifying flame that can still burn on the sea surface. It is almost impossible to extinguish after being hit, and it can burn for a long time. It is one of the two major weapons of the family."

Speaking of this, Fitzwilliam showed a look of regret on his face, "Unfortunately, the formulation of Ocean Fire was only in the hands of the core members of the family, and now those people are dead, Ocean Fire is also Completely lost."

Li Yu reckoned that the ocean fire mentioned by the shipbuilder was probably a liquid incendiary like Greek fire, and the Romans in those days did indeed rely on this thing to shock the world.

The main ingredients may be petroleum and sulfur, and he can try to mix it when he has a chance in the future.

Li Yu asked again, "What about the other weapon?"

"Sea King's Halberd! It's a giant crossbow. I know how to make it." Fitzwilliam said, "The Sea King's Halberd equipped on the Sea King is the largest, and it can easily shoot through smaller warships that dare to approach!"

"Oh, can you make it now?" Li Yu's expression changed when he heard this.

"Yes, as long as you give me enough manpower and materials." Fitzwilliam said simply.

"I'll talk to Ilea later. You don't need to farm the land. Just stay here and build me the Sea King Halberd. Build three first. I'll be useful." Li Yu also replied.
