Extraordinary Sailing

　　 The third day after the pirate siege.

　　 The time of parting finally arrived.

　　 Ivan alone boarded the merchant ship "Yellow Hu", which was temporarily docked at Leopold for supplies.

　　 Destination: Gabriel, the third largest military port on the west coast of Falettis.

　　 was standing in the stern, with seabirds singing and hovering above his head, and the brackish sea breeze slowly blew his face. The snow-white waves disappeared from behind the ship, and the place where he had lived for five years, Leopold, also disappeared gradually.

　　 Before leaving, Aiwen left without notifying anyone. But he believes that when he comes back here next time, everything will be different!

"Mr. Irwin, let me take you to the cabin. The weather is good these days and the waves are not high. The captain said that we can reach Gabriel in two days with full sails." A very young sailor walked to Ai Wen enthusiastically introduced the voyage to Aiwen.

　　 After all, Ivan was the place where Viscount Andrea had booked and sent someone to send him on board, so the crew members could not guess Ivan’s identity and naturally tried their best to take care of it.

　　 Aiwen nodded lightly and followed the young sailor into the cabin.

　　 Invisibly owed the old man a favor, but Ivan calmed down. As the saying goes, he has more debts. It would not be easy for him to find a ship to Gabriel in a short time.

　　 The Yellow Snake is 42 meters long and has a capacity of 200 people. It is a very mature three-masted galleon.

　　 Don’t even think that Aiwen will join the navy soon, but this "Yellow Snake" is strictly the first big ocean ship he took. Compared with the small sampan fishing boat that I have taken before, it is more limited than a wooden board.

　　 So after the salute was put down, Irving couldn't help returning to the deck and visiting the big one.

　　Knowing that this passenger has a special identity, even the most loyal crew member will not take care of him.

　　 Standing in a corner that does not affect the operation of the crew, Ivan looked up at the spectacular sails on the sailboat. The three masts in the front, middle and rear, especially the main mast, are almost four stories high. Standing on the deck, looking up is almost dazzling.

　　 The four sections of white sails composed of main sail, upper sail, top sail, and extreme top sail are already full of wind, and they have begun to provide endless power for sea ships.

　　 The long sail cable with a gray and big beard directs the crew under him to continuously fine-tune the sails, and strive to ensure the stability of the ship to the maximum extent while ensuring the speed of the ship. Even though Aiwen had been exposed to related knowledge since he was a child, he still felt unclear and violent the first time he saw it with his own eyes.

　　 The beard swept several times at this guy who was staring at him with a curious look. I really can’t figure out what happened to this guest?

　　It seems that there are nails stuck under his feet, and maintaining body balance is as simple as eating and drinking. Standing on the bumpy deck is more stable than the old sailors, as if they have been living in the sea since childhood.

But he was so curious about everything on the ship, from a plank to a cable, even the zipline on the mast could stare at it for a long time. If it wasn't for his own eyes, this guy seemed to want to control the cable by himself. Have a try.

　　 From this point of view, it looks like a complete novice, which is really strange.

　　 Recalling the captain’s special instructions, the bearded sailor commanded his sailors to look after the sails. He walked to Ivan, who was standing aside and was watching with gusto, and asked: "Is the sir interested in sailing?"

　　 "Uh... yes, because I went to Gabriel to join the navy and want to know about life on the ship in advance. Did I bother you?" Ivan hesitated, and there was no need to hide his purpose.

　　 "No, no, no, but if you are interested, I can introduce you to this beautiful big guy at our feet!" The sail line was surprisingly long and reasonable, and offered to introduce Aiwen to the proposal of sailing.

　　 Aiwen gladly accepted.

　　He also knows that he can get the extra-spec preferential treatment all on the face of Viscount Andrea.

But what he didn’t know was that there was actually a part of the Viscount’s shares on the Yellow Swan. After Leopold loaded part of the cargo, they arrived at Gabriel and filled the warehouse with the fleet. Depart for the New World and start an ocean voyage.

　　 "Our Huanghu has just been launched for four years, and it is at the best time..."

The pleasant conversation lasted for half an hour. During the visit, Aiwen’s data-based vision was open and fair to model the entire "Yellow Hu". It can even be said that Aiwen has worked on the Yellow Hu for many years. The old sailor still needs to understand it.

　　 Among them, the most surprising thing about Aiwen is that the "Yellow Hu" is not an ordinary cargo merchant ship, but a veritable armed merchant ship.

　　 According to the cable length, the hull of this ship has been specially modified, and the muzzle cannot be seen from the outside. But as long as the hidden guard is opened, the ship will immediately reveal its hideous inner appearance, giving the incoming pirate ship a good look!

　　 Aiwen nodded on the surface, but didn't believe a word in his heart.

　　 Prevent pirates? Probably it was disguised as an ordinary merchant ship and approached other merchant ships before turning into a looting ship!

　　 It’s just that private pillage at sea is a common phenomenon now. As long as there is a private pillage license and it only targets enemy countries, there is no problem. Irving would not be stupid enough to expose it in person.

　　 At noon, when he was warmly invited by the captain Joseph to have lunch, Ivan realized that there was only one passenger on the ship.

After 　　 knocked on the side, it was learned that Viscount Andrea was also one of the shareholders of this ship. Under his arrangement, the "Yellow Snipe" opened a private room for himself, and he secretly sighed that the old man just wanted it!

　　 And Ivan believes that what he saw is definitely only the tip of his iceberg. This Viscount-sama is definitely an old fox that is hidden from view.

　　Because I was still sailing offshore, the supplies were sufficient and the lunch was also very good. It is a pity that today is not Aiwen's lucky day, and he is destined to miss this lunch.

　　 "Clang, clang, clang..."

　　 just tasted a sip of the pre-dinner soup delivered by the sailor who was the guest waiter, and the ship suddenly sounded a continuous alarm, which was the warning issued by the sailor on the mainmast when he found a dangerous situation.

　　On the empty fixed commercial route, this kind of warning signal usually only represents one situation, that is, pirates!

　　 Slowly wiped his mouth with a napkin, the red-faced curly-haired uncle opposite Ivan calmly said: "Small accidents, I will deal with them, Mr. Ivan will just stay in this room and wait."

　　 After speaking, he picked up the knife set on the table and strode out. After a while, the voice of his commanding Ruo Ding came from outside. The sound of the crew running back and forth was very rhythmic, although nervous but not panic.

　　 "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

　　 Soon, the shelling sound of UU Reading www.uukanshu.com sounded one after another. Although it did not hit the Yellow Husky, it also caused huge splashes of water near the merchant ship and crashed onto the deck, creating an extremely nervous atmosphere.

　　 "The pirates are here, and the non-combatants immediately return to the cabin, and the combatants are in their respective positions! If you dare to hit the Yellow Owl, I will break his jaw!" Captain Joseph's calm voice gave the crew a great encouragement.

　　 Aiwen looked out from the porthole, and a sloop with blood-red anchors painted on black sails was fast approaching in his direction.

　　 The hull slowly adjusted while driving, and the ten artillery on the sideboard was aimed at this side without breaking the fire. Obviously, he wanted to force the ship, which seemed to be carrying a lot of cargo, to stop.

　　 In fact, in the era of sailing wooden ships and artillery naval battles, the probability of directly using artillery to sink the enemy ship in a ship artillery battle of the same level is very low. In the end, gang wars are inevitable, and this is especially true of the attack method of pirates looting to capture opponent ships.

　　 Otherwise, even if the merchant ship is sunk, there is no benefit at all, so why bother?

　　 So when the Blood Anchor Pirate was almost driving in parallel with the Huang Hu, most of the muzzles on the side facing the Huang Hu were not opened, and only single-digit artillery fired sporadically to intimidate the merchant ships.

　　 Obviously, the disguise of the Yellow Bird successfully concealed the pirate's side, leaving them unaware of the hidden threat in this ordinary merchant ship.

　　 Blood Anchor Zach put down his monocular.

　　 Although it feels a bit tricky that the number of sailors on the opponent's ship exceeds that of his own, it is only a small trouble. With the strength of his pirates, facing ordinary merchant crew members, even one dozen two can win cleanly.

　　 pulled out a talisman made up of crossed black wings from his neck, and Zach prayed silently: "God of black wings, please!"
