We Agreed To Set Sail and Become the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

Chapter 3 Raise the sails and set sail!

 Step onto the deck of the Black Swan.

Shaan looked around. Compared with the memory, the boat seemed much empty now.

“It seems that Renate and the others have moved all their luggage.”

Perhaps affected by the memory of the original owner, Xia En actually felt a little melancholy.

 But soon, this mood was replaced by anticipation and joy.

 “Let me see, what are these two talents?”

 After instructing Joey to move the supplies into the storage room of the cabin, Shane walked straight to the platform where the rudder was.

 The rudder in front of him is very old, completely black, and engraved with some complicated patterns.

 For some reason, it seemed to be trembling slightly, as if to welcome its own arrival.

Without any hesitation, Shane put his hand on the rudder.

 The next moment, a sudden change occurred!

A roar like a tsunami exploded in his mind, as if there were countless voices calling his name, or as if there were thousands of people singing a vast barcarolle together.

 An ancient and mysterious wave rolled in from an unexplorable place, washing away Shane's body and soul.

At this moment, the Black Swan seemed to be integrated with him.

 The rudder, deck, sails, mast, anchor...Xia En could clearly feel every corner and every joint of the ship, even better than he knew his own body.

 They became part of Shane's body and an extension of his will.

 Xia En suddenly felt an uncontrollable impulse in his heart.

 At this moment, at this moment!

"start sailing!"

 As he made up his mind, Black Swan naturally responded.

The heavy anchor retracts on its own, and the sail rises up along the mast, automatically fine-tuning to an angle that adapts to the wind direction, absorbing the power of the sea breeze.

The sea water lapped against the hull of the ship, and the Black Swan slowly sailed out of the port surrounded by waves.

 …

 …

 A corner of the pier.

 The old butler in a suit nodded with satisfaction: "Jason, you did a good job this time."

The black man Jason had a flattering smile on his face: "I'll do the work, don't worry."

“The brothers on the boat actually didn’t want to follow Xia En for a long time, so I told them casually, and we all left together.”

"I also revealed the news to the sailors on the dock. Now, I'm sure that Xia En won't even be able to go to sea."

 The old housekeeper smiled: "No matter what, you have the credit for this matter."

“The next time [Blood Duke] goes to sea, there will be a place for you.”

Hearing this, Jason was so excited that his whole body trembled.

 【Blood Duke】, that is the Duke's ship!

Getting on this ship means hugging the Duke's lap. Isn't this more promising than staying on the little Black Swan?

Thinking of this, Jason felt more and more that his choice was right.

Although the old captain treated him well, he not only saved his life, but also taught him the skills of a sailor.

  But before was before and now is now.

Compared to following the young and naive Xia En, of course he would rather be the Duke's dog.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion on the dock.

  Jason and the old butler followed the crowd’s gaze.

On the sparkling sea, I saw a ship with a black swan carved on its bow. It had raised its sails and headed towards the endless blue sea shrouded in the sun.

The young captain stood on the deck, holding the steering wheel firmly with both hands. There was no uneasiness on his face, only excitement and expectation.

 Set sail in high spirits!

Seeing this, the old housekeeper's face darkened: "Didn't you say that he can't get out of the sea?"

Cold sweat broke out from Jason's back instantly, and he murmured: "It shouldn't be..."

 He hurriedly ran to ask the nearby sailors: "Damn it, which idiot got on Sean's boat?"

Someone replied: "I just saw... Joey walking towards the Black Swan."

 “Joy? Is it the Joey who is afraid of water?”

Hearing this name, Jason immediately relaxed his expression and sneered: "It seems that Shane is really desperate and will recruit anyone."

“A pretty-faced captain and a sailor who can’t swim are really a pair made in heaven.”

“When two people go to sea, whether they can return is a question.”

 The old housekeeper frowned. Reason told him that Jason's judgment was correct.

How big a wave can just two people make?

But for some reason, looking at the Black Swan's receding silhouette, he felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

 …

 …

at the same time.

Shaan on the deck certainly didn’t know what the people on the shore were thinking. He was immersed in the joy of racing on the sea.

 This is so much more fun than drag racing!

 The blowing sea breeze, the golden sunshine, the sound of the waves...the wonderful sensory experience of completely controlling the ship is really an extraordinary enjoyment.

What is this called, man and ship becoming one?

 At this moment, Joey climbed up from the storage room, his expression still a little dazed.

 I haven’t done anything yet.

 Why did you set sail?

 Can the captain alone be qualified to sail the ship?

Even though the Black Swan is only a small and medium-sized ketch, normally it must be equipped with at least ten sailors.

At this time, Joey looked at the unmanned sails that were also automatically adjusting, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, as if he had seen a ghost.

 “The secret wayfarer!”

 “Captain Shane, is he actually a secret traveler?”

Xia En, who was sailing the boat, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

"ah?"

 How come I am a mystical person?

Shaan tried hard to recall the information about the Mystic Path.

This world has its own extraordinary system, which is the secret profession.

It is said that there are thirty-two secret paths in the world, and each secret path has nine steps. It is said that after climbing all nine steps, one can transform into a **** and control the highest and most powerful power.

 One of the secret professions is [Captain].

  【Captain】also has the extraordinary power to control the ship.

 Thinking about it, Joey had a misunderstanding because of this.

However, this misunderstanding was just fine for Xia En, and he did not take the initiative to explain it.

On the other hand, after holding the rudder, Shane was also able to check the attributes of the Black Swan.

  【Codename: Black Swan】

  【Type: Ketch】

  【Size: small to medium】

 【Ship Spirit Level: LV1 (0%)】

 【Attributes: Firepower 1, Speed ​​3, Solidity 3, Mystery 0】

 【Durability: 89/100 (slight damage to the rear side)】

 【Core components: old single cannon (inferior), generally strong sails (ordinary), rough wooden hull (ordinary)】

  【Crew: Joey (unbound)】

  【Note: The crew members can only be bound after living on the ship for one month. 】

This panel called [Eye of the Secret Sea], like the previous navigation games, converts the firepower, speed and other attributes of the ship into intuitive data.

 As for the core components, it is not difficult to understand.

 As long as these components are optimized, the attributes of the ship can obviously be improved.

Of course, there are many elements and components that determine the attributes of a ship, and the panel has undoubtedly been somewhat simplified.

The only thing that made Xia En a little confused was the [Ship Spirit Level]. The panel did not say how to improve it.

“Speaking of which, another effect of [Captain’s Prestige] seems to be to gain the attributes of a ship?”

Shaan temporarily let go of the rudder and took a closer look at his own condition.

"Huh?"
