664 Chapter 693: Intelligence from a faraway person... ...
“We’ve met a living person so quickly?”
In the cabin, Goudan Li and the others looked curiously at Henry, who was wrapped in a towel. Then, they looked suspiciously at the tester beside them. “Didn’t they say that this route is expected to be empty for thousands of nautical miles?”
The tester was also puzzled. Although this number was more hypothetical, it was based on the thousand-year history of the Steel Arms Empire.
After all, from the time they were discovered on the east coast, they had never met anyone from overseas, be it pirates or passers-by. In the past thousand years, the fishermen who lived here had never met anyone from overseas.
Although Henry’s clothes were a little tattered, it could be vaguely seen that the quality of his clothes was excellent. It was a work of noble silk. If an island country with such a civilization was nearby.., it was impossible that he had not noticed the eastern continent, which was currently the largest continent, for thousands of years?
“He doesn’t look very well. Has he been fed?”Asked Goudan Li.
Fed...
Next to him, Lei Xue’s face twitched. She felt that these words were a little like picking up a dog... ...
The first mate, Wang Ye, who was in the shape of an elf ball, replied, “His condition isn’t very good. At least he hasn’t ingested any food or water for more than ten days. Under such circumstances, we can’t give him food immediately. We gave him a small bottle of mild nutrient solution...”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Wow, he can live for ten days without drinking water? That’s fine!”Eggface looked at him and said.
Henry, who was looking at the group of people as if they were looking at a rare object, felt quite uncomfortable at this moment. But fortunately, the girl in the lead looked so beautiful, so she shouldn’t be a bad person... ...
After he came back to his senses, he began to vaguely remember the experiences of these days...
Ever since he abandoned the crew and escaped alone, he had been drifting on the sea alone on that wooden boat for God knows how many days. Because he was so thirsty that he almost had hallucinations, he naturally did not have the mood to remember the days... ...
However, he was indeed quite lucky. He had drifted on the vast sea for so many days without encountering any bigger waves. Otherwise, with that wooden boat, he would have died a long time ago.
After an unknown number of days, he saw the dog egg anchored on the surface of the sea. He swore that he had never seen such a strange ship in his life!
The entire body of the ship was like a steel castle. What kind of technology was used to build such a large ship? Moreover, just the matter of building a steel ship shocked him greatly!
Since the appearance of the steam engine powered ship, there were also some alchemists who fantasized about building a ship with steel. However, this idea failed after many experiments.
There were many problems. Firstly, the steel material was easy to rust. Secondly, after sailing for a long time, the bottom of the ship would easily be attached to parasites such as oysters, which would affect the speed of the ship. Thirdly, if the ship used a lot of steel material, it would easily produce a magnetic field effect, which would affect the accuracy of the magnetic compass. Lastly, if the ship used a lot of steel material, it would cause the air inside the ship to be wet and cold, which was not conducive to keeping warm and the health of the crew.
Why would such an exaggerated steel ship appear in the East China Sea, something that even the best shipbuilder in the Western Islands, the kingdom of Homston, could not solve?
What was even stranger was the movement of the ship. He clearly remembered that the first time he saw the ship that day, it was completely docked...
This was the deep sea. How could a ship be docked without a fixed anchor?
It was night, and anyone would have thought that it was strange to see such a large ship stopping on the surface of the sea. However, Henry was in an abnormal state.
He was cold and hungry, and when he saw the ship, it was like he was grasping at the last straw. At that time, he thought that even if it was a ghost ship, he would accept it as long as he was given a mouthful of fresh water to drink!
However, the situation changed from time to time. When he drank the nutrient solution and solved the instinctive problem of his body’s thirst, he began to worry.
Fortunately, the people on the ship seemed to be more normal, and the temperature around them was normal. It should not be a ghost ship or anything like that.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw a yellow creature with two huge fangs carrying a glass bottle filled with green medicine walking over. “The medicine is ready...”
“Whoa... whoa, whoa, whoa... What the hell is this thing?”Henry was so scared that he retreated to the wall!
It was the Troll Perkins. Seeing his reaction, the originally gentle-looking troll instantly became gloomy. He glared at the troll and gave him the middle finger. “You’re the F * cking thing!”
This common language with a strong local flavor made Henry stunned. A strange feeling welled up in his fear.
This monster can speak lingua franca?
After all, they were still communicating in Sichuan just now... ...
“Don’t be afraid, this is the doctor on our ship...”Lei Xue comforted him gently.
“Doctor? A doctor with wild boar teeth?”Henry, who was still losing control of his emotions, retorted subconsciously.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Do you believe that this pair of wild boar teeth can pierce through your asshole immediately?”Perkins’tone became more and more unfriendly.
“Alright...”snow sighed helplessly and consoled, “The outsider has never seen you guys before, don’t bother with him. Isn’t John Looking for you to play billiards? Go over there and play first, we’ll explain over here...”
“HMPH!”Perkins snorted discontentedly, handed the potion to snow and left in a huff.
“Where are you from?”This time, it was dog egg li who asked the question.
Seeing the ugly monster leave and the beautiful girl asking the question again, Henry’s frightened mood immediately eased up. Then, under the guidance of the crowd, he began to enter the normal communication.
An hour later, Henry gave a rough description of his situation. From his identity to the purpose of coming here, there was a clear explanation. However, in order to improve his image, some places were omitted and some places were directly deleted.
For example, he slightly modified the fact that he was a down-and-out royal family member who could no longer survive and became a young and promising member of the Royal Family. He left his beautiful wife and children behind and resolutely joined the expedition.
Of course, the incident of the undead ship abandoning its crew was directly brushed aside by him as a shipwreck... ...
“So You’re a royal family member from the Western Archipelago?”Goudan Li asked in surprise.
Of course, what surprised her was not the identity of the other party as a royal noble, but the fact that the other party came from the Western archipelago. This meant that the other party had a hot and fresh route. The mission this time might be completed much earlier!
“So, the western archipelago countries think that the steel arms empire had a coup d’etat and sealed off the port of the West Sea, so they organized a new route to explore the information?”Asked Lei Xue after she roughly sorted out the other party’s words, compared to Li Goudan’s surprise, Lei Xue was much calmer. She was slightly suspicious of the other party’s information.
Henry nodded carefully, wanting to see the other party’s attitude. At this moment, he had named himself as a very important person in the western islands not only to brag, but more importantly, he wanted to make the other party fear and treat him with courtesy because of his identity, this way, even if he was not welcome to outsiders like them, at the very least, they would see him, a person with an important identity, as a more advantageous bargaining chip. They would consider trading him back instead of throwing him into the sea to feed the fish.
Of course, saying this directly was also to gather information as soon as possible, because from the attitude of these people, they seemed to be quite friendly... ... although the monster just now was quite scary... ...
“With such a great ship and such a beautiful face, you must be an important noble, right?”Henry carefully looked at Li Goudan and asked, “May I ask what exactly happened in the Steel Arms Empire? Why did they detain our ship? Did a coup really happen? Or was there some other reason?”
Hearing that the other party thought that he was a noble with a high status, Li Goudan immediately straightened his back and said seriously, “HMM... you guessed it right! !”
If Wang Goudan was here, he would definitely be able to see that a certain someone was about to start his trick again!
