We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

After some questioning.

Only then did Xia En realize that what prompted Joey to make up his mind to change his image was what he had said unintentionally before.

He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, this little girl was too honest.

It's so easy to deceive, which makes me, the boss, feel a little uneasy.

However, looking at Joey's appearance at this time, Xia En found it quite pleasing to the eye.

Having said that, is this a form of persuasion to change?

In the evening, Ann got on the ship with large and small boxes of luggage.

Xia En first introduced him and Joey to each other. After all, they were all companions on the same boat, so they had to have a general understanding.

It can be seen that Joey is very curious about this tin man who communicates with pen and paper, and he keeps asking questions.

Fortunately, although An's image is a bit scary, his personality is actually very gentle.

"A true knight!"

This is what Shane said about him.

However, he waited until Xia En introduced the facilities on the ship and arranged a room for An.

Xia En finally couldn't help but said: "An, you can relax a little on the boat."

"Like...take off that helmet!"

An was stunned for a moment, then wrote.

[Sorry, Captain, I can't do it. 】

"Um?"

Xia En looked at An suspiciously.

It’s just taking off a helmet, it shouldn’t be a big deal, right? Otherwise, how do you usually eat and drink?

[There is a reason why I cannot take off my helmet. 】

Seeing that Andu had written like this, Xia En stopped trying to persuade him and was too considerate to ask the reason behind it.

However, as the captain, Xia En still checked the information on the board.

[Crew: An (unbound)]

[Race: Elf]

[Secret Career: Knight (Level 0)]

[Talent: can be viewed after binding]

[Skill: Can be viewed after binding]

[Description: The elf, who has been rendered speechless due to the secret technique in his blood, adheres to the chivalry spirit of the old era, and has regarded you as his lifelong master. 】

[Bloodline is both a gift and a curse. 】

"Elves?"

Now that things have happened, Xia En is no longer surprised to see this kind of fantasy race.

If you think about it carefully, the three people in your boat are really a sleeping dragon, a phoenix, a succubus, a sea monster, and now there is an elf!

You can't make a pure-blooded human by co-authoring it, right?

However, Xia En also noticed that the panel displayed "race" instead of "bloodline."

This shows that Anduo is probably a pure elf!

This is somewhat rare.

At least on Duke Island, Shane had never heard of any real pure-blood elves.

What made him even more curious was that in the description [the secret technique in the bloodline], this seemed to be the reason why An became mute.

"Could it be said that all elves have been cursed with [Aphasia]?"

Xia En felt awe-inspiring.

This speculation is too shocking, but if it is true, what kind of hatred would cause such a secret technique to be applied to the bloodline of a race?

After all, this was just Xia En's guess. He only thought about it for a moment and stopped thinking about it.

"Speaking of which, Joey has been on the ship for almost a month and can be bound soon."

"I wonder what benefits it will bring to me after binding?"

Xia En was vaguely looking forward to it.

…

…

The next three days.

While Xia En was adding supplies necessary for going to sea, he continued to look for suitable sailors.

There are only three people on a boat, which is still too few.

However, sailors who meet Shane's requirements are not easy to find.

Although Bisi introduced a few more people one after another, and many sailors volunteered to board the Black Swan, they were unable to reach an agreement due to various reasons.

In the end, no new sailors were recruited.

Xia En is not in a hurry about this. In his opinion, with the [Captain's Majesty], the crew is more valuable than more valuable.

Recruiting a group of rabble rashly will be detrimental to the development of Black Swan.

This morning, Shane stayed in the cabin and watched the shipwrights drive the last nail.

The ancient steam turbine was installed on the Black Swan and began operation.

boom--

The start of the steam engine overlapped with the invisible roar in my mind.

Xia En seemed to hear the loud and long call of the Black Swan. It was a childish, vague and chaotic consciousness, but it was filled with joyful emotions.

Like a young child who has received candy, he is acting coquettishly to his nearest and dearest being.

"What a good boy."

Shane smiled fondly.

This consciousness is the ship's soul of the Black Swan. When it was transformed by the shipwright, the ship's soul seemed to have fallen into a temporary slumber.

With the modification completed, it also woke up at this time.

next moment.

A rich and abundant warmth flowed into Xia En's body through the [Eye of the Secret Sea] deep in his mind.

Shane smiled even brighter.

"Eye of the Secret Sea, add it to me!"

Indescribable magical power swam in Xia En's limbs and bones.

Every cell seems to be jumping for joy under this warm current. Muscles and bones become tougher and denser, and the body becomes more well-proportioned and presents a beautiful streamlined shape.

After a while, the warmth gradually subsided.

Shane waved his arms and jumped twice.

He clearly felt that his strength had grown significantly and his body became lighter.

Open the panel and take a look.

[Codename: Black Swan]

[Type: Ketch]

[Size: small to medium size]

[Ship Spirit Level: LV1 (11%)]

[Attributes: Firepower 5, Speed ​​7, Robustness 4, Mystery 1]

[Durability: 99/100]

[Core components: Strong single cannon (common)*3 + old single cannon (inferior), generally strong sail (common), rough wooden hull (common), steam turbine of some age (rare) 】

After installing artillery and steam turbines, the Black Swan's firepower increased to 5, and its speed increased to 7.

Correspondingly, Xia En's attributes skyrocketed again.

If he and An were to fight again, he would probably be able to defeat An with just brute force without taking advantage of his speed.

"It's a pity that artillery is a controlled commodity on Duke Island and cannot be purchased openly. Otherwise, if we just buy ten or eight of them, wouldn't the firepower soar into the sky?"

Of course, Xia En also knows that the panel's calculation of attributes is not that simple.

It's not like putting a cannon on a ship and converting it into attributes.

Instead, the artillery needs to play a practical role and be regarded as part of the Black Swan, so that it can simultaneously enhance its physical fitness.

The size of the Black Swan's side means that the number of [effective artillery pieces] it can equip is limited.

At that time, it will still need to be replaced with artillery with larger caliber, more power, and higher accuracy.

After realizing his condition for a moment, Xia En happily paid the remaining wages to the shipwrights and treated them to a meal.

It is foreseeable that there will be opportunities to cooperate with shipwrights in the future, and it is not a bad thing to establish a good relationship in advance.

Shane then summoned the only two crew members to the deck.
