Infinite Throne

  Chapter 214 Tarot Cards (Seeking Monthly Pass)

   However, when Irin got closer, he found that these ten domineering-looking warships were somewhat different from the level of technology he envisioned at the beginning.

  These ten naval warships are not like real modern warships, they are all made of professional marine steel.

   The metal smelting technology of this era does not seem to have reached such an exaggerated level.

  The core of the ten warships is still a sailboat made of high-quality wood.

   This point, Irin can know from the folded sails in the masts on the warship.

   And at the stern of the warship, there are indeed several exaggerated chimneys, which are used to discharge the billowing black smoke burned by the coal turbines.

  In the inside of the iron plate coated with waterproof material, the texture of the finest wood is faintly revealed, and there are even a few fresh oysters sucking in the gaps, like petals.

   Well, in the real world, the sea is polluted by nuclear waste and oil pollution in many places, and it is difficult to eat pollution-free oysters that can be eaten raw. This is not an exaggeration.

   took a few casual glances, and under the urging of the navy behind, Yilin did not squat down to the side of the boat to observe carefully. With graceful steps, Yingying climbed the boarding ladder and stepped onto the deck.

  Irin took a few steps and suddenly noticed.

   Getting used to is really a very scary thing. In the past few days in London, he unknowingly got used to the footwork of high heels... Sad.

  On the deck, Elizabeth Rin's hair fluttered in the wind.

   "Because it is powered by coal combustion, it is impossible to sail across the ocean? Well, it should be limited by the combustion efficiency of the boiler. If you carry too much coal, it will greatly increase the weight of the hull, which will affect the sailing speed."

  Irin carefully analyzed: "So, this new type of warship chooses a hybrid power driven by wind and steam furnaces to drive?"

   "Oh, hybrid, this concept is advanced."

For Yi Rin, the coal boiler in the cabin is like the nitrogen acceleration in the racing game, or the plasma acceleration or jump in the space racing game. It is an emergency acceleration device at a critical moment, and cannot be used as a casual device under normal conditions. The high-end configuration carried out.

   This level of technological development is within the acceptable range of Yilin.

only.

   How to explain this, the cigarette stick in Tiramisu's hand?

If it weren't for the overall situation and the main quest, Yi Rin would have wanted to give Tiramisu a righteous backstab, trying to find a way to get Tiramisu's inseparable "magic spear", and have a good look at the devil properties of the gun.

  This technology tree is really crooked.

   At this time, on the deck, Tiramisu saw Irin boarding the ship, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, spit out a smoke ring in the direction of Irin.

  Irin also smiled and waved at Tiramisu.

  As a senior pirate leader, Irin's trip is equivalent to going deep into the enemy's army.

   If people find out that his true identity as Elizabeth Rin is the skeleton gentleman, according to the means shown by Tiramisu and the unknown ability of Gu Tianqing, it is very likely that Yi Rin will fall into the danger of being dumped.

   Of course, that was without the Dire.

The Dire fuel tank has been filled with "collection-grade wine". Although the fuel is a bit wrong, the satiety is indeed full. If it really comes to the point where he has to leave, he believes that the speed of the Dire is enough to keep him in the dark. In the boundless sea, he rides the dust, escaping from all pursuits.

   Well, don't panic.

  Irin took out a small delicate embroidered fan, fanning it slightly on the deck like an outing, enjoying the wind and sunshine.

   Hu Hu Hu—

  No one discussed the timing of the voyage with Yilin. After all the navies boarded the warship in an orderly manner, the sails were full and the speed was full.

  Irin glanced at the panel of the apostles from time to time, speculating on the movement of the "Unsinkable", and was very happy.

  By the way, he sent a message to the dog.

  The only thing he is worried about now is the communication between the dog and Ruth.

   Hope people are okay.

  Three hours later.

  The land is in sight, so far away that only the horizon remains.

   After resting on land for a few days, Irin returned to the sea.

   Only this time, Irin has changed to a completely different identity.

   After the warship sailed into the sea, that peep from somewhere in the dark landed on Yi Rin again, giving Yi Rin the illusion of being exposed to the cold wind, like a light on his back.

   “Calypso…”

  Irin bowed her head, remembering her deal with Calypso during the hurricane.

   And right now.

   Gu Tianqing, the governor wrapped in bandages, and Tiramisu surrounded Irin with smiles.

  Irin slowly made a question mark.

   "Welcome, my beautiful lady."

  Tiramisu seems to want to bow first and then bow, if not, then soldiers.

  When Tiramisu officially welcomed Yi Rin, a hint suddenly appeared in front of Yi Rin, a hint that was so secretive and low-key that he didn't seem to want people to notice.

  【Successfully joined the "Navy" camp. 】

join in? Mix in?

  Irin: "…"

   The Governor's face was wrapped in tight bandages, making it unpredictable.

   On the other hand, Tiramisu took out a brand new ink-printed nautical chart from behind. The routes and landmarks on it were clearly marked, which was completely different from the old antiques passed down from generation to generation by Ruth.

   "Governor, Tiramisu, Gu Tianqing, among the ten warships, if you don't count Gu Tianqing, there are only two people at the top of the navy. Is this the ship that you are taking care of?"

  Irin shook her head secretly in her heart.

   And the tiramisu has already taken a sip, the corner of the mouth is hooked, revealing an elegant and mysterious smile, the deep V reveals an indescribable snow white under the sun.

   "My dear Lady Elizabeth Rin Swan, we implore you to choose a course for us."

   "I choose?"

  Irin was stunned at first, but soon, there was a look of "as expected" in his eyes.

   She silently glanced at Gu Tianqing.

  Gu Tianqing still maintained that sly smile, and he didn't know what role he played as a "navy advisor" in this plan.

I see.

  Irin suddenly understood why this warship deliberately used iron plates to reinforce its hull.

   It's not that the Navy doesn't believe that a woman on a ship will bring bad luck, but they believe that a woman on a ship will definitely bring bad luck!

   And what they are using now is the bad luck brought by this kind of woman!

  Looking for the Demon King is the biggest bad luck!

   This is also the reason why Irin and Ruth provoke Sax Sparrow after they boarded the Queen.

  Because Sax, who has the curse of "the enemy of the undead" and is dedicated to finding the trace of the Demon King with a compass, represents the most terrifying bad luck.

   Therefore, under some kind of destiny, Sax will finally board Irin's ship at the right time and in a certain way, and become a lookout who controls the direction.

   "Fate? Curse? Bad luck? Interesting."

  Irin didn't say what she said in her heart like Ruth did, but she showed obvious excitement and curiosity on the surface, and asked: "Can I choose the course I like?"

   "Of course, beautiful lady."

   The Governor did not say a word, but Tiramisu seemed to be the voice of the Governor. If anyone didn’t know the reason, they might mistakenly think that Tiramisu was the Governor’s fiancee, and life was full of greenery.

   "Is it okay to choose anything?" Irin asked again.

   "Follow your wishes, ma'am."

"Ah."

   Actually, if the Demon King doesn't move, Irin can roughly guess where the Demon King is from the experience of the last voyage.

   But from the wrecks encountered by the Queen along the way, we can see that the Demon King foraged and ate the ships all the way, and his whereabouts were uncertain. Otherwise, after so many years, the Navy should have found the Demon King long ago, so there is no need to wait until now.

   Thinking of this, Irin pointed in a direction.

  Tiramisu's expression changed slightly. After Irin chose a direction that was "probably full of bad luck", he immediately raised his head and looked at Gu Tianqing who was on call at any time.

  Gu Tianqing smiled, and then took out a stack of specially crafted hard cards from the delicate and elegant white robes.

   The stack of cards was in the shape of a long and narrow square, and the black card back was actually covered with strange blood-colored threads, forming a faintly mysterious pattern.

  The object that Gu Tianqing took out, Yi Rin was not careless, and while others were not paying attention, he quietly released his telekinetic perception to check Gu Tianqing's stack of cards.

The pattern on the back of the card, at first glance, looks like some kind of ancient formation, but also like a meaningless decorative pattern. In the center of the pattern, three textures of moon, stars, and sun form the center of the pattern. , with the black background, like a thumbnail of astrology.

  Tani Tianqing didn't care about Irin's prying eyes.

   And after Gu Tianqing took out the card stack, Tiramisu's expression did not change at all, it was still so dignified, as if she had seen Gu Tianqing's behavior like this before.

  Tiramisu brought a wooden table by the way.

   Blue sky and white clouds, seagulls soaring, Gu Tianqing sat at the table and slowly closed his eyes.

   After a while, when Gu Tianqing opened his eyes again, there was no more brilliance in those black eyes, as if they had no emotion, like a ancient well without waves.

   Tarot?

   Gu Tianqing still play this?

   Could it be the skill you learned during this trial?

  Irin's eyes narrowed slightly.

The red texture behind the   Naka, Irin looked carefully, as if it was drawn with blood, with a solemn and mysterious visual effect.

   Gu Tianqing meditated for a full minute.

   Suddenly.

   A melodious chant adds a bit of mystery to the quiet atmosphere.

   "Put up your ears and listen to my voice, the spirit hidden in the card, you are under the guidance of my king of tarot, for this sea... oh?"

  Swish Swish—

   Gu Tianqing reluctantly opened his eyes, and together with Tiramisu and the Governor, looked at Irin, who was spitting out inexplicable lines.

  Irin smiled shyly.

   "About~ I thought that a paragraph I saw in a book not long ago was very consistent with the current atmosphere, so I couldn't help but memorize it~"

  Tianqing Gu: "…"

  Tiramisu: "…"

   Governor: "?"

  Calypso: "…"

  Cough cough cough.

   The solemn and solemn atmosphere was interrupted, but it didn't matter, Gu Tianqing closed his eyes again and began to brew his emotions.
