Chapter 34 Monster Bones

"But what?" I felt anxious and anxious. This old man really knows how to whet his appetite!

"However, this corpse is too big for us to transport!"

"Isn't it here?" Ziyue stepped forward anxiously and asked.

The old man answered slowly. "In the mountain behind, you need to transport it yourself. Moreover, a monster came to the cave recently. They held the entrance of the cave so hard that I couldn't get in! If you are willing to help me drive away the monster and remove the bones, Bring it here and I will help you build an extra-large warship! And there will be no charge for the keel."

"Deal!" I immediately led everyone towards the back hill, but the old man stopped us.

"Why are you so anxious? I haven't finished speaking yet! There is still demonic energy in the corpse of that monster, so it is very dangerous. You have to use this to purify the demonic energy before you can touch the pile of bones!" As he spoke, the old man pulled it out from behind. A crystal bottle. "This is holy water, which can purify evil spirits. Just sprinkle a little on the bones!"

"Got it!" Ziyue grabbed the bottle and took the lead and ran out.

The so-called back mountain is actually a small hill, which feels about the same size as ** Square. It took us half an hour to climb over. There was really a big hole here, but there was nothing but weeds at the entrance of the huge hole.

"Didn't you say there was a monster?" Jin Coin looked around and found nothing.

"Maybe in the cave!" I warned everyone to be careful. To be on the safe side, I pulled out my weapon and held it in my hand. Seeing how careful I was, everyone also took out their weapons and got ready for battle.

Carefully walked into the cave entrance, there was only one passage inside. After walking no more than 10 meters, a huge stone chamber appeared. There was a circle of blue magic lights on the wall around the stone chamber, which illuminated the cave very brightly. The huge skeleton of an unknown monster was lying peacefully deep in the cave.

Judging from the skeleton, this guy was at least 300 meters long when he was alive. Even if Lucky grew to an adult, he would be nothing compared to him. Now this skeleton is coiled in the cave. The length of its sternum is about 0 meters. Based on this ratio, our ship should be able to be 0 meters long when built. I believe that a ship of this length is enough to accommodate several demons. Crystal cannon.

"Who is disturbing my purity!" An old voice suddenly came out and made us tremble. It's not that we are timid, it's mainly because the voice appeared so suddenly!

Ziyue looked around and found nothing, so she asked in the air: "Who are you?"

"I am the mythical beast Bi Ling!"

"Where are you?"

"Am I not right in front of you?"

"In front of me? Why can't I see you?"

"You can't see me even though I'm so big? This little girl really knows how to joke!"

"Are you this pile of bones?" I finally came to my senses and asked on Ziyue's behalf.

"certainly!"

"Aren't you dead?"

"How could I die if I am a divine beast!"

"But you've turned into bones!" Bingbing's sudden words made the self-proclaimed mythical beast slightly stunned.

“My body was hurting so much that I gave it up!”

"Then why didn't you disappear?"

"I'm not willing to give in!" The voice suddenly became excited. "I want revenge, I hate it! I'm not willing to give in! I shouldn't be like this!" The voice became more and more violent, and the whole cave began to shake. Countless gravel fell straight down and hit us staggering! It seems that the monster the old man mentioned is the soul of Biling!

"Calm down! Calm down!" I quickly comforted him, telling him that if he kept making trouble like this, we would be buried alive with him! "If you tell us who killed you, maybe we will have a chance to help you get revenge!" As soon as I said this, I felt something was wrong. This guy was so powerful even when he was dead, so something that could beat him to death should be even more exaggerated. ! Can we deal with such a monster?

"The one who hurt me was the hydra monster of the Wonu Kingdom. It is said that it is one of the gods of the Wonu Kingdom!"

"Wonu Country? Isn't it Japan!" Ziyue exclaimed.

"You were beaten to death by a Japanese hydra monster! Isn't that hydra monster very powerful?"

"Hmph! Who is he? Do you know the Four Sacred Beasts of China?"

"I know! Aren't they Suzaku, Xuanwu, White Tiger, and Qinglong!"

"Donghua Qinglong and Nanming Zhuque are my disciples of Biling! The Hydra back then couldn't even defeat Qinglong and Suzaku. Unfortunately, I fell into their trap and was surrounded and killed by the Japanese slaves and the Hydra. Although I I tried my best to escape, but my injuries were too severe and I could not recover. In the end, I only turned into a pile of bones here! But I am not willing to give in!"

When I heard that he was getting excited again, I quickly interrupted him. "I've heard of the Japanese hydra monster, but doesn't it only have eight heads?"

"That guy actually had nine heads, but I ate one of them, so now there are only eight left!"

"No wonder that's not the case!" Ziyue said with a smile. "I always thought that the Japanese didn't know how to count. They have eight heads and they have to be called the Hydra!"

I struck while the iron was hot: "Lord Divine Beast, we now need to engage in a naval battle with the Japanese to fight the Japanese invasion of China, but we need a keel to build a ship, so we want to borrow your remains to build a warship to resist the Japanese attack!"

"If you want to fight against Japanese slaves and bandits, then use them. Anyway, these bones are of no use to me!" It is indeed a mythical beast, very generous!

"But your soul?"

"It doesn't matter. When you build the ship, don't dismantle my skeleton. Just keep it as it is and build the ship. This way I can continue to protect my skeleton and help you protect the ship you built!"

"Thank you so much! Then we'll move!"

I summoned Lucky, Rose Vine, Little Dragon Girl, and Xiao Feng to help transport the bones, but the tank couldn't be summoned because it wasn't time yet! Ziyue's two Titans and Tianhuo also came out to help. Together with Xiaoqiang from Passerby A, we reluctantly moved the huge skeleton.

After a lot of effort, the skeleton was finally moved to the dock. It was already afternoon. After dragging and dragging all morning, the skeleton of the mythical beast was finally transported here. The old man was so happy to see us back that he walked around the skeleton several times.

"Not bad, not bad! Biling's skeleton really deserves its reputation!"

"Okay, okay! Build us a ship quickly!"

"Okay, okay! Then let's discuss the requirements and price, shall we?" The old man started to do business again. "You tell me what your requirements are, and I will give you a price based on the final situation."

I looked at the old man with some embarrassment and said, "To be honest, this is our first time building a ship, so we don't know what we need to pay attention to. Can you help us?"

"That's no problem!" The old man took out a pamphlet and handed it to me. "This is the ordering guide, just follow the instructions!"

Wow, there is even such a thing! I held the booklet and read it so that everyone could know the content. "Item one of the ordering guide. First you need to specify the keel of the vessel. Different keels can be selected according to the size and purpose of the vessel." I looked at the eagle. "It seems like this can be skipped!"

I turned a few pages to the second item and started reading. "After selecting the keel, we have to decide on the material. The materials generally include the following types." I looked through it and skipped the obviously unusable junk materials and went straight to the strongest ones. "There are a few here that I think are good. Come and choose. Oilwood has a general protective effect. The advantage is that it is light in weight and can improve the effective carrying capacity of the ship. The disadvantage is that it is easy to catch fire! Ironwood has high protective power and is not easy to use. It catches fire, but it is very heavy. Red sun wood has average protective effect and average weight, but it has certain anti-magic properties and will not catch fire! The last one is crystal wood, which has many advantages. It is extremely strong and has good defense. It's super tall, average in weight, has good magic resistance, and is fireproof. But the price is several times that of the other three! Okay, which one do you want?"

"Think about it, of course I want the last crystal wood one, but the price...!" Ziyue was a little undecided.

Rose said simply: "How much money do we have left?"

"I still have 1 million crystal coins in front of me." I looked at it and replied.

The eagle also looked at it. "I still have 550,000 crystal coins, which were raised by everyone!"

"That's 1.55 million!" Rose asked the old man again. "According to this keel, how much will it cost if we use all crystal wood?"

The old man took a look and said: "You guys moved the keel here, so it doesn't count as a gift to you. Based on the volume of this sternum, it should be about 500,000 crystal coins!"

I quickly added: "Biling asked us not to break his bones apart!"

"Can't it be dismantled?" The old man looked at it and said, "It's okay not to dismantle it, but after it's built, the battleship will be more than 300 meters long! And the material cost is not 500,000 but 600,000 crystal coins!"

Rose continued: "How much do you charge for the craftsmanship?"

"It depends on how you arrange the cabins. If it is complicated, it will be more expensive, and if it is simple, it will be cheaper. But even if it is complicated, I think 500,000 crystal coins should be about the same!"

Rose calculated and said: "According to this rough estimate, crystal wood should be enough. Since you want to build a ship, build more, otherwise you will not be sorry for Biling's contribution of his own bones!"

Ziyue immediately said: "Yes, Rose is right! I still have 50,000 crystal coins, so they are included!"

I said: "Then decide to use crystal wood. The next one is... I found it! Decide on the cabin arrangement. The first is whether a lounge and a material warehouse are needed. If you need to go on a long voyage, you need a material storage cabin and a personnel lounge, otherwise it will Cause players to die during the voyage! Do we want it?"

Ziyue jumped up and said: "Of course, we have to go to Japan after fighting the Japanese pirates!"

"Yes, then let's design a material warehouse and rest room!"

The old man asked: "How many sailors do you need? Only by knowing the number of sailors can you determine the number of lounges and material warehouses. One lounge can guarantee personal rest, and one material warehouse can guarantee the consumption of 100 people for 10 days."

"Let's put this aside for now! Let's take a look below!" Ying also thinks this is not easy to calculate for the time being!

I started looking below. "Then there is the pulp room. The pulp chamber is symmetrical, with the left and right sides appearing in pairs. Each pulp chamber has a long oar and requires four sailors. The maximum number of layers of the pulp chamber is determined according to the water outlet height of the ship string. The maximum number of rows of paddle rooms is determined by the length of the boat.”

Rose asked the old man: "How high will our boat's string be out of the water?"

"It's about 8 meters or more and close to 9 meters, which is basically the height of the 5th floor cabin. But you have to plan well. If there are too many pulp chambers, there will be no place for gun emplacements!"

"Then how many paddle rooms can we have at most in one row?"

"Based on this keel, it should be no problem to put 125!"

Rose made a simple calculation and said: "Three layers of slurry, 125 in each layer! There are a total of 750 slurry tanks on both sides, and a total of 3,000 sailors are needed!"

I continue to look below. "Placement of gun emplacements. The gun emplacements and slurry rooms use the same location, but the gun emplacements can also be placed on the uppermost 'open' deck. In addition, a forward 'fire' gun chamber can be installed on the bow." I see The old man looked at him and said, "Can you convert the front gun chamber into a suspended turntable? We're going to mount the magic crystal cannon on it!"

"Can!"

"The remaining side compartments can hold as many gun chambers as you want, fill them all for me!"

"The gun room uses a small gunpowder cannon, and its power cannot be compared with your magic crystal cannon! Your ship also has two layers of windows plus a row on the deck. There are a total of 3 layers of space. Each layer can To install 100 gun chambers, each with one gun, requires three sailors to operate it. You need a total of 600 guns and 1,800 sailors."

"The next step is to decide the mast, choose one mast or three or five masts."

Jin Coin said: "Of course there are five for such a big ship!"

"Then five. Next is to install the sails. What type of sail to choose? There are three options. One is a quadrilateral sail, which is fast downwind, but cannot make good use of the crosswind! The other is a triangle sail, which is fast downwind. Generally, but you can take advantage of the cross wind. The last one is to install a quadrilateral sail and a jib sail, which can ensure sufficient power for both cross wind and tail wind, but the price is relatively expensive!"

"Needless to say, of course it's a composite sail!" Ziyue decided.

Eagle also nodded, and I said: "Then composite sails. Below is the rudder. The position and number of rudders need to be determined. I don't understand this very well. Can you give me some advice?"

"Of course it is better to install the rudder at the stern, but your ship is relatively large, so I suggest you use split rudders. Two at the bow and three at the stern. This is easier to control."

"Okay, I'll do as you say!" I continued reading. "Should we install a ramming horn or a bow elephant on the bow?"

"With so many cannons, I guess they won't be used for ramming. It's better to install the bow elephant!" Ying analyzed.

"Then the bow elephant. Also, do you want outer armor? There are iron armor, magic silver armor, and crystal wood armor."

"Use magic silver! It's anti-rust and can resist magic attacks!" Bai Ling came over and looked at the introduction.

"Okay, it's all decided. Please help us arrange the rest room and warehouse! Finally, let's calculate the price!"

The old man came up and held a large roll of paper and said: "You have a total of 3,000 oar sailors, 1,800 gunnery sailors, 300 sail sailors, and 0 service sailors. This is a total of 5,300 people and requires 265 rest rooms. According to one month of sailing, 159 warehouses are needed. If this is the case, your ship will still have a lot of vacancies!"

I made a rough estimate and said, "Then help us arrange 400 lounges, build 40 more double rooms, and build the rest into warehouses!"

"Okay, I will help you immediately calculate how many you can design, and then help you calculate the price. Oh! How to arrange the necessary cabins such as the captain's cabin and the chart room?"

"It's up to you to take care of those things! Install them all according to the highest standards!"

"okay, I get it!"

Because the old man had not completed the calculations for a long time and had to find someone to actually measure the size of the ship, it seemed that he would not be able to finish it in a while. We were really bored so we ran to the port to take a look at the scenery. Unexpectedly, we saw the ship commanded by the man named Chuang Wang we met in the morning coming back!

From a distance, I could see the Haiwei leaning towards the port and blowing thick smoke. The reason why it is called a ticket is mainly because she only has half of the mast that is still on fire and a few oars left! We all ran to the dock where she was about to dock and waited to inquire about the situation.

The approaching Haiwei allowed us to see her appearance clearly. The severely tilted hull was dotted with large and small holes. Countless sailors were busy running around on it. I saw King Chuang directing people to put out the fire. His mainmast was almost burned out!

In everyone's surprised eyes, the Haiwei slammed into the buffer cable of the pier, and the long cable slowly brought the battleship to a stop. Countless people on the dock also began to help put out the fire. A large group of NPCs from the dock rushed over carrying ladders, hammers, wood and other things. It seemed that the Haiwei needed a complete overhaul!

I can't just watch on the sidelines. No matter what people say, it's all because of the fight against the Japanese invaders that this happened. As Chinese, we have an obligation to help! But we don’t know how to repair ships, so we can consider putting out fires. I summoned the little dragon girl to help. "Little Dragon Girl, can you control water?"

"I am a dragon, and controlling water is my instinct!"

"Well, help me put out the fire on that boat!"

"Yes!" Xiao Longnu plunged into the sea with a sudden movement. Now I know what it means for a dragon to enter the sea. After Xiao Longnu entered the water, she looked completely different from before. For a time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a small area of ​​intensive rainstorm only fell for 30 seconds, completely extinguishing the fire, and then disappeared as quickly as it came! After putting out the fire, the little dragon girl was actually excited to play on the sea surface. I now absolutely believe that the Dragon Palace is built on the bottom of the sea. I have never seen a creature that likes water so much!

After the fire was out, King Chuang also got off the boat. He came over immediately when he saw our group. "How's it going? Is your boat ready?"

"How can it be so fast? What we built is a battleship!" Jin Coin muttered.

"Battleship? Do you also want to fight Japanese pirates?" King Chuang wiped his face that was blackened by the fire with his hand. As a result, half of his face turned black, making his teeth look very white!

I looked at the scarred Haiwei and said solemnly: "Do you always fight so badly?" This battle damage rate is too impressive! I never thought that fighting the Japanese would be so brutal!

King Chuang smiled helplessly. "Not every time. Today we were unlucky and encountered a large fleet! A whole seven warships besieged one of ours! We sank one, seriously damaged another, and then ran back!"

Ziyue asked excitedly: "Don't other guilds have ships to participate in the war?"

"Yes, there are, but there are not many of them, and the battleships are too small to fight with the Japanese ocean-going battleships! The price of the battleships is too high, not everyone can afford them!"

"That's true!" Everyone was speechless. It is a fact that the Chinese people are not as rich as the Japanese. There is really no way! Although we have more total assets than Japan, if one share is reached, everyone will be finished!

"Will it cost a lot to repair your ship this time?" Ziyue asked.

"It doesn't matter. I made a lot of money from fighting pirates in the past few times, and my experience points are also quite high, so it's not bad!"

"What? Experience points? Is Little Japan a monster?"

King Chuang explained quickly. "No! The opponent is also a player, but killing each other between players from different countries counts as experience. And the experience value of killing Little Japan is very high, because the player's experience value is calculated based on the highest experience among monsters of the same level, so killing Little Japan It’s faster than killing monsters. The most important thing is that every time you sink a ship, everyone on the ship will be killed!”

"No wonder that's not the case!" Bai Ling sighed. "I asked you why you are so motivated! Love is a double harvest of reputation and profit!"

"Hahahaha!" King Chuang laughed so awkwardly that we all felt unnatural!
