Arcane Universe

In order for Feng Chou to join this famous club in Newport, the female steward Melissa first introduced Feng Chou to an intermediate alchemist and spent a lot of money on this intermediate alchemist. After the sum of money, under his introduction, Feng Chou participated in a Sand Dragon organized by the alchemist’s boss, a small alchemist owner.

In this Sand Dragon, Feng Chou said that he had a low-level alchemy product on his way to Tailun, which attracted the attention of the alchemist.

After several exchanges between the two sides, the businessman introduced Feng Chou into the alchemy club and became an informal member of the club.

In the club, Feng Chou quickly reached an intention to buy and sell some alchemical products with a few small businessmen. Of course, it was just the intention. Whether the transaction can be achieved depends on whether Feng Chou’s products satisfy them. .

Feng Chou has no doubt about this.

After entering the alchemy club, Feng Chou inquired about some news related to Earl Patrick.

Earl Patrick is one of the directors of the Alchemy Club. This family is located in the north of Tyron City, near the eastern mountain range, and has a remote and ancient territory.

This family entered Tyronn three hundred years ago. The father of the current Earl Patrick is one of the founders of the Alchemy Club in Newport District.

The Patrick family has its own mage tower and mage school in its own earl territory. It controls a large-scale alchemy factory and exports tens of thousands of kilograms of alchemical products from the territory every year. He is one of the top 20 alchemists in Xingang District and has a strong influence in the Xingang District Council.

In addition to the news collected by Feng Chou in the club, the simulated pigeons and sparrows released by Universe Pagoda also gave him a lot of news.

Earl Patrick’s villa is locked. Imitation pigeons and sparrows cannot enter, but those who come out of the villa cannot escape tracking.

For more than a month, Feng Chou figured out all the properties under the name of Earl Patrick’s House.

In addition to more than a dozen commercial buildings in Newport District, Earl Patrick’s name is a magic steel factory that mainly produces steel essence and secondary black steel on the outskirts of Newport District, and one produces gold-based vinyl and gold-based cement. His low-level alchemy factory also owns a large merchant ship, apart from this. He owns a large secret technique store in the secret technique block of Xingang.

It just so happens that Feng Chou, the large secret technique store, once visited.

In the secret technique block of Newport, there are not many secret technique shops occupying a commercial building alone, and the Patrick secret technique shop is one of them.

Feng Chou once shot a soul crystal in this magic shop.

After clarifying the news, Feng Chou probably understood why Earl Patrick was staring at him.

Because of the negative energy nature of blood energy, most vampire mages specialize in the necromancer, and for necromancers, soul crystal is an indispensable and very precious magic material, so Any Necromancer is very sensitive to soul crystals that are priceless.

Feng Chou sold a few soul crystals in the Patrick’s secret technique store, and then sold a few in other shops. A total of a dozen soul crystals were sold before and after. Anyway, this thing he I can’t use up too much in my hand.

It is not difficult to imagine that his behavior of shooting soul crystals in Patrick may have attracted the attention of the other party. Later, the situation of shooting soul crystals in different shops may also fall into the eyes of the other party. It is inevitable to give the other party such an impression that there should be a lot of soul crystals in his hand!

Of course, this is also true.

I know why Earl Patrick is staring at himself, and the current situation of Feng Chou is actually not at all much improved.

But at least it will let Feng Chou know how to deal with what will happen next.

……

On this day, Feng Chou finally received Natasha’s SMS. His freighter had a safe journey and was still a week away from Tyron.

After receiving the news, Feng Chou immediately visited the manager of a Level 3 port company in the southwest part of Xingang District.

This Level 3 port company is a small contractor subordinate to the Xingang District Port Authority, contracting a small port with a small throughput.

It is said to be a small port, but it is enough to berth more than a dozen medium-sized ships of more than 1,000 tons.

Feng Chou got to know the manager of this port company through an alchemist in the alchemy club who is engaged in ocean trade as early as half a month ago.

He successfully booked a berth and enough warehouse in this port company a week later.

At the dock of this port company, Feng Chou saw the iron-hulled ship from the Goblin Kingdom on the southern continent for the first time.

Feng Chou was a little surprised that three tall masts were erected on this suspected steamship, with stowed sails hung.

Feng Chou pretended to be curious and approached the jet-black iron-hulled ship.

On the high gunwale of the jet-black hull, a few small green-skinned creatures gathered together and seemed to be chatting. Their appearance was very similar to the wild goblins Feng Chou had seen before, but their mental appearance was completely different. Different, as Sheriff Kent said, you can tell at a glance that these goblins are civilized creatures.

Feng Chou pretended to be curious and glanced around from the bow to the stern, and Universe Pagoda scanned the entire ship.

The analysis was completed quickly, and the result disappointed Feng Chou.

This is indeed a steamship, and it is a fairly mature steamship.

According to Universe Pagoda Ling, the technical level of this steamship is almost equivalent to Earth in the mid-nineteenth century, and has basically completed the European technical level of the first industrial revolution.

Because of the black technology that Earth does not possess, such as magic welding technology, the quality of the steamship is much higher than that of Earth at the same time.

If there is no magic, this level of industrial technology is enough to beat any agricultural civilization.

Unfortunately, this is a magical world.

According to the analysis of Universe Pagoda Spirit, this armed merchant ship is equipped with a fairly complete three-expansion steam engine as the power. When fully loaded, with pure steam power, the cruising speed is only 20 knots. , Not as good as the ordinary inland river magic merchant ship, let alone the more advanced large ocean-going magic ship.

This steamship has an iron shell that is generally more than 80 mm. The main gun Guo of the steam engine and the stern of the ship is equipped with armor with a thickness of even more than 250 mm.

The level of ironmaking in the Goblin Kingdom is also at the level of Earth’s mid-nineteenth century technology. The quality of the hull of the iron hull ship is not high, not even considered as steel. According to modern standards, the slag content exceeds the standard. The sulfur content is also high. Such iron shells are stronger than magic wood and have limited strength. Naturally, they are far better than magic wood that has been strengthened by enchantment.

Furthermore, such a low-quality iron shell does not have the possibility of enchanting at all. The iron shell without enchantment is even inferior to ordinary wooden shell ships when faced with some targeted magic effects.
