"boom!"

Water waves more than 3 meters high hit the bow of the ship fiercely, blowing up waves in the sky.

After sailing out of the reef circle on the periphery of Haichao Islands, the waves became more and more fierce. The dozens of meters-long "Haichao" was like a toy in the hands of giants, churning up and down on the sea.

Renault stood on the bow deck and glanced at the "left wing" connected to the hull.

The turbulence of this 30-meter-long wooden ship was amazing. Sometimes it was completely out of the sea and suspended from the water, and sometimes the entire bow was completely submerged in the water and passed through the waves.

If the keel frame of the wooden ship were both made of metal, and the material of the main frame of the "wing" was a star blue ferroalloy, I am afraid that they would simply not be able to withstand this degree of destruction.

The destination of Haichao's trip is Midway Island.

The Haichao Islands are more than 1,500 nautical miles from the Glow Mainland, which is nearly 2,800 kilometers.

As a new-style Thermal Demon-powered ship, even with half-sails, Haichao would need to consume at least 550 tons of heavy fuel oil for a round trip to and from the Glory Continent, which has already exceeded its carrying capacity.

Therefore, if you want to go to the Continent of Glow, you must have a transit station.

Midway Island is the transfer station chosen by Renault. This name, of course, also comes from the lord who has a habit of naming.

The main tasks of Haichao's trip were twofold. The first was to build a warehouse on the island, and the second was to transport a batch of materials, including 200 tons of heavy oil, dozens of tons of grain, cement, steel, and other daily necessities.

This kind of transportation task will be carried out several times, until the heavy oil reserves on the island exceed 800 tons, Renault will officially start the "return to the mainland" operation.

The purpose of his return is not to fight with the black orcs, let alone fight for territory with the black orcs. The total population of this race is more than 30 million. Renault's territory is only a mere 2,000 people. To this extent.

Renault only wanted to understand the current situation on the mainland and personally investigate the black orc tribe going south to decide the next strategy.

After holding back the Hai Tide Islands in isolation and news for several months, he was eager to learn about the outside world.

In addition, Renault also intends to take away hundreds of humans from the mainland, anyway, why not get some people along with them?

The most lacking thing in Haichao Islands now is population. To farm, to engage in industrialization, and to push back the black orcs, the more the population, the better.

What's more, most of the civilians who are still on the mainland are poor people. If you can save one, it's better than leaving the black orcs as rations...

After entering the first snowy month, as a series of cold currents descend southward, the temperature drops cliff-like to within 5 degrees, sooner or later it drops below freezing, and the sea breeze is also bitterly cold.

Although the bitter cold wind was unbearable, the watchman on the mast did not dare to slacken in the slightest. He kept watching the sea conditions ahead and raised his telescope to observe the situation from time to time.

The weather is so bad that the sailors have to take turns to take care of the watchmen. Each one takes turns for an hour. This time does not seem to be a long time, but every sailor on duty has to spend a while before he can get out of the almost frozen state. Slow down.

There are also 6 sailors on the other positions on the deck at any time. First mate Rudford is also among them. If there is an emergency, they will be responsible for lowering the half-high sails.

In addition, Lutherford and the others have to pay attention to the situation in other directions. After all, the observer alone cannot observe all the surrounding conditions.

Their situation is much better than that of watchers, at least they don't have to face the cold wind all the time, they can often shrink in the corner of the shelter to warm up.

This "observation post" configuration of up to 8 people is far beyond the norm, but it is very necessary.

Because for so many years, no sailing boat has dared to go to sea in the first snowy moon, and no one can predict what emergencies will be encountered. The more the number of observation posts, the greater the chance of detecting danger in advance.

The cold wind that made the sailors feel miserable, but Renault didn't realize it. He still stood proudly in the wind, overlooking the gloomy sky and endless waves of anger.

At this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps in the distance. With keen hearing, Renault immediately distinguished that the footsteps came from two people. One of them was heavier than the average person. It was Moose's footsteps.

He looked back and saw a bright head emerging from the stairs under the bow deck, it was Moose's iconic bald head.

A smile appeared at the corner of Renault's mouth. After Moose was promoted to Extraordinary, he didn't know what was going on. His burnt head no longer grew hair. It has been more than half a month, and there was even a little stubble on his scalp. can not see.

But Moose didn't care about this at all. For him, it saved the trouble of washing his hair. As an extraordinary person, no one dared to laugh at him face to face.

"Your lord, Lanster has a discovery..." Moose shouted immediately after seeing Renault's figure.

Since taking the Transcendence Oath, Moose has never called Renault directly in public except for a few private occasions, but only called "Lord Lord" in a straightforward manner.

Although Renault asked Moose not to be formal, he was always stubborn, leaving Renault helpless.

Behind Moose, a burly man with a magical air gun bowed respectfully and bowed. He had an impressive red hair, a square face, and a loyal and honest appearance.

He is Lanster, the father of the younger brothers that Renault met in Redstone.

Renault has always had a good impression of such good subordinates who have trained their children into die-hard fans of the lord, so he specially smiled at Lanster cordially, making Lanster a little flattered.

Moose nudged Lanster's back. Lanster knew immediately. He took two steps forward and said in a low voice: "Lord, at the earliest tonight and at the latest tomorrow morning, there should be a comparison in this sea area. Big storm."

Moose inserted a sentence on the side: "Your Lord, this kid has a unique skill in predicting the weather..."

Reynolds raised his eyebrows and looked at Lanster in amazement: "Oh, what a unique skill? Come and listen?"

Lanster hesitated for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "Lord Lord, I can't tell you why, sometimes I have this strange feeling..."

An idea suddenly appeared in Renault's mind. He couldn't help but glance at Moos, who nodded affirmatively at him.

talent!

What a special "weather forecast" talent.

Unexpectedly, this guy Lanster had an extremely rare talent.

In this world, very few people seem to be particularly favored by heaven and earth, and they are born with some strange abilities.

For example, some people have a strong affinity for free magic, and their cultivation speed is much faster than ordinary people. For example, some people have very strong language skills and speak very fast, but they also speak very clearly. Another example is that some people have very long hair. Quick, the toughness of the hair is incredible, not much weaker than the steel wire. You can make a fortune just by selling your hair.

According to Renault's understanding, talent can actually be understood as a special genetic mutation caused by magic, which is similar to the mutation of mutants in "X-Men".

These talents are strange, some talents are not easy to be noticed, some are easy to distinguish, Lanster's talent is the latter.

However, only a small number of talents will directly enhance combat effectiveness. Most talents are more inclined to support abilities. Even a few talents are more like a kind of curiosity, that is, it looks interesting, but it is not useful, such as the pupils will change color. .

Talents not only exist in humans, but other creatures will also appear alien species. The extraordinary giant tortoise killed last time by Renault, its ability to control gravity is a kind of talent.

Renault also guessed that Moose must have noticed this a long time ago, and he must have verified it repeatedly, otherwise he would not bring Lanster to see him.

This is also Moose's most typical style of doing things-extremely reliable.

Moose's meaning is also obvious: to collect and recommend talents for the lord.

For Moose, the benefits of this are very obvious. On the one hand, it can make the lord value himself more and his position can be more stable. On the other hand, the stronger the territory is, the more hopeful it is to defeat the powerful black orcs. Even conquer the whole world.

By then, as Renault's top horse, he will of course get a huge cake.

As for the recommended talent, will one day become a competitor?

Are you kidding me, you are a fool when you are the lord? Even the referrer dared to bite the injustice, how could Lord Lord reuse it?
