Demon Sage

Chapter 165

Ordinary aliens want to really go to sea and go to places with rich resources instead of wasting time on some offshore islands. There are two ways.

The first one is to form a fleet of your own, buy ships, select crew members, sailors, etc., and then hire some other strangers to go to sea independently.

The advantage is that you don’t have to look at anyone’s face. Except for those islands that have been divided into territories, whichever islands you want to go to, good luck will harvest, and the benefits will be yours. Make extra money.

The disadvantage is that this is a very risky investment, because the nearly 1,000 gold pounds spent before being paid out are likely to be lost after a storm. If you can’t find enough precious goods, you will also lose money.

Donald has no money or power, let alone buying a boat. He doesn’t even have enough money to hire people and buy charts of overseas islands, so this road will definitely not work.

The second rule is to join fleets of other forces and follow them to sea.

The advantage is that you don’t have to pay a lot of money, and you can also get a remuneration from the employer. As long as your own harvest meets the requirements of the sailor and delivers a certain amount of goods, then the extra time can be used. Earn some extra money for yourself, and good luck can also make a lot of money for him.

The disadvantage is that you can’t decide where to go. Due to the lack of information, some people are often taken by inexperienced and hot-headed captains to a resource-rich but extremely dangerous island, and they are finally buried with them. The task standards of fleet are also different. They pay, and if the hired person does not meet the requirements, they have to refund part of the reward. After all, they want people who help, not people who fish in troubled waters in the past.

“Have you ever been out to sea?”

The boat that took them to the sea market was a ferry, but it was two times bigger than the one Donald was sitting on before. There are 16 seats, and Donald wanted to ask for more information before going to the island.

“Then I must have gone out. I have gone out three times this year so far, all of which are islands that have been fully explored. The focus is on safety.”

“Hey, Where is a really safe island? Crescent Moon Bay is a safe island, right? It was a place that was discovered a few years ago. I heard that half a month ago, when a fleet landed, I found that there were more groups nearby. The thorn-headed seagulls build their nests, and there is still time to run away. There is each one on the whole ship, and they are all knocked down. Now some fleets with insufficient numbers of aliens don’t dare to lean on them, for fear of being targeted. !”

The discussion between the black hand and Donald did not deliberately lower his voice, and Donald actually didn’t know the content, so after the black hand finished talking about his situation, someone next to him came in.

“The thorn-headed seagulls are easy to solve. As long as they leave a certain range, they will return to the nest. I didn’t go out in the cabin, and I almost suffocated me.”

Someone else shared their experience, which caused the people on board to sigh tsk tsk.

“What is the assassination fish?”

Donald didn’t understand, so he could only lower his head and ask the black hand.

“It’s a very strange fish. These fish swim in groups beside your boat. As long as you get close to the boat and expose your body, these fish will jump directly out of the sea. Get up, there is a spike on their mouth. If they are pierced into the flesh, they will not die, but they will be paralyzed. Good luck, if they are dragged into the sea by the barb on the spike, there will be a group of assassins below. The fish is waiting, in just a few minutes, a cow will turn into a bone, let alone a human.”

Black hand’s hands are about half an arm’s length away, which is the general size of an assassin fish. Then he said,

“If you want to know more and more detailed information, you can go to the aquarium in Demingham, don’t go to that low-level, go to the deep-sea aquarium, admission It costs 1 shilling, but it’s definitely worth it, I remember there was this kind of fish in there, and other dangerous marine life, but in the end I’d like to remind you that going out to sea is something that needs careful consideration, especially those that are not fully explored. Many people may find it new when they hear it for the first time, but after going out once, there may not be a second time. Those of us who have no background and no support from power, in the eyes of many people, are going to die. Ah…”

As the scope of the island’s exploration continues to expand, the mortality rate of going to sea has been high, especially for those heretics who want to go out to sea to try one’s luck, Among them, many people are often quite confident in their own strength. They think that the island expedition is just like a tourist outing. For a large remuneration, they all join the fleets of those big companies to explore the land, and only find themselves when they land on the island. There is no resistance at all in the face of this savage and dense overseas jungle.

The ultimate outcome is to use his own life to exchange some useful or useless information for those big companies. As for the high remuneration that should have been paid to them, with the death of the person involved, it will naturally be Not counting.

Donald listened to the conversation between the black hand and the nearby people, and he also had a general idea of the danger of going to sea.

Danger is danger, he will not miss this kind of activity.

To win the battle against pain and destruction in the future, he must become stronger.

The money, treasure, and combat experience needed to become stronger will never be gained by exercising in a hidden place all day long.

Now that he knows the way to the sea, Donald’s mind is alive and he asks the black hand how to participate in other fleets.

“This is simple, most fleets will hire aliens to ensure safety. Later, after you land on the island, you will find that there will be many extra tables and chairs placed at the port. For recruiting people, they will ask you about your abilities after the past. Some fleets will have requirements in this area after recruiting certain people, and then they will talk to you about remuneration and so on. If you collect the booth quickly enough, you can try it. Try it, participation is voluntary anyway, and when the time comes, they leave after asking, and they won’t say anything.”

The words of the black hand made Donald involuntarily think of the dungeons in some games in his previous life. Activities, set up a good team to brush the dungeon together, and everyone can get money and various resources together to improve their battle strength.

It’s just that there is no resurrection here. To die is to die.

It had been about 10 minutes since the ferry had left the port in the Tallinn area of the port, and Donald noticed a blue light in the Sea Territory in the distance.

“That’s the searchlight on Whale Island. Oh, I forgot to mention that in addition to exploring the island, there is another way to make money. Whaling, now a whale over 10 meters long It can be sold for more than 500 gold pounds in the whaling factory on the periphery of Whale Island, and the price of those big whales in the deep sea will be several times higher. I heard that the most expensive whale seems to be more than 20 meters long, and one is equal to two. Demingham ships now.”

“I heard that whale oil technology was studied on that island?”

Donald thought of the boatman when he first arrived in Demingham The so-called whale oil technology, could not help but ask.

“Yes, the original whale oil technology came out of there. For example, the ferry boat under our ass is also driven by whale oil technology. Recently, I heard that they seem to be researching some steel airship. …..These things are gradually spreading to the coastal areas of the entire Ryan Empire. It is said that as long as a ton of whale oil is converted and purified, it can supply the energy loss of an entire block for nearly three months. It is estimated that inland They don’t have a place to catch whales, but they have coal mines, and the effect is expected to be similar. For example, there are still many steam ships using coal at sea in Demingham.”

Whale Oil Energy is a brand new energy source, and Donald knows that this kind of energy did exist for a while before the oil in the previous life was fully developed, but this world has obviously found a new application for whale oil.

“Shore ahead!”

The man on the bow roared, Donald’s eyes turned forward, and in the white mist, the sea market finally opened in front of Donald veil.

It is said to be an island. In fact, the prototype of the sea market is a reef in a large ocean. Most of the areas are far away and cannot be seen clearly, but Donald can see that the area on the side facing them should be It has been transformed, and the originally uneven reef surface has long been flattened.

As you get closer, you can see that a large number of metal pillars are rising from below in the mist on this platform, and the sound of the collision between steel and steel can be heard in my ears, and then I can see the front. A bright yellow light suddenly appeared in the mist, and this was like a signal. In just ten seconds, the entire sea market was completely illuminated!

What appeared in front of Donald was an offshore platform the size of a football field. The ground was covered with steel plates, and on these steel plates, in addition to the lamp posts for lighting, there were also Some mechanical buildings are gradually rising.

Like the recruiting office next to the port that Black Hand said, it was originally empty, but after the lamp post was lit, several specially-made large steel plates first sank, and then indented to both sides. A lift was installed, and Donald, who had just gotten off the boat, happened to see the metal table and chairs being raised.

In more distant places, the situation is similar. The sea market abandoned the stalls or counters, and uniformly used half-person-high metal tables and chairs.

Compared with the slightly mysterious underground market in Preston, the sea market in Demingham is more of a mechanical simplicity and convenience, and everyone seems to be used to it. In this way, with their respective goods, they are looking for their respective booths.

There is a circular metal post on the right side of all the tables. The black hand told Donald that this is where the booth rent is paid, and the fee is 3 shillings an hour, which is probably the price in the ordinary market. I was greeted by businessmen to my family, but here, everyone is used to it.

Donald discussed with the black hand and decided that the two of them shared a booth. The goods they sold were very small in size and sold quickly. If they opened it separately, they would pay an extra booth rent. Behind the counter is a long bench, the length of which can seat 3 people.
