Hearthstone Farm Lord

Chapter 469 Let me show you a big baby! (Thanks to Sora no Shiralian for the March ticket)

The gunboat moved against the wind and waves in the sea, but it was still some time before it returned to the military port.

After the cocktail party on the deck, members of the Craftsmen Association wandered around the ship in small groups, inspecting the gunboat for any defects or poor operation.

Count Powell returned to the deck after some time in the oars room.

But he didn't see Sean on the deck, so he asked the sailors nearby:
"Have you seen His Highness Xiao En, where is His Highness now?"

"I'm here, Powell."

Powell heard Sean's voice overhead.

Looking up, he saw Sean sitting on the tallest mast, playing with the surrounding albatrosses.

Powell wiped his sweat and said to Sean: "Your Highness Sean, there are two things that I think I need to report to you."

"Speak directly, I can hear you." Sean replied sitting on the top of the mast.

"That's it." Powell sorted out his thoughts and reported: "The first thing is about the weight of the gunboat.

According to my actual observation in the oar room just now, I found that the draft of the gunboat is no deeper than that of the previous warship.In other words, the weight of the gunboat is about the same as that of the previous warships, which is exactly what you think! "

"Of course." Sean said to Powell below while feeding the albatross with bread:

"After all, warships used to carry a large number of silver-rank and gold-rank warriors, and their weapons and armor were too heavy.

Take Windsor for example, his set of gold-level weapons and armor can even weigh as much as two artillery pieces!It’s not surprising that the draft of the gunboat is similar to before. What about the second thing? "

"The second thing is about the speed of the boat.

Sir, after replacing these new rowers, our boat speed is at least [-]% faster than before!This is still when the rowers are very unskilled and cannot cooperate with each other tacitly.

If they are as proficient as the old oarsmen, it is not impossible to double the speed of the boat!With this speed, the Anjou Navy will never catch up with us! "

Earl Powell was very excited.

Although the entire transformation plan is to achieve such an effect, the plan and the actual implementation are definitely different.

Seeing that the gunboat has achieved the expected effect, what does this mean?This shows that they already have the chance to win this naval battle!

Maybe his name will appear in the history of the Principality of Lane!
Thinking of this, Earl Powell blushed with excitement.

Sean sat on the mast and looked out of the ship. Six giant oars protruded from the oar room below to paddle forward. There were even black iron and bronze level grudges attached to the giant oars.Judging from the speed of breaking the waves, the current speed is no less than the speed when the wind is smooth!
"Very good! Powell, help me tell Windsor, train these oarsmen a lot, and strive to double the speed of the boat before the battle begins." Sean said downward.

"Yes, Your Highness," Powell replied.

It is precisely because the oars are all cultivators of black iron and bronze ranks that the speed of the boat is very fast.

Not long after, the gunboat successfully returned to the military port.

After returning to the military port, Sean didn't stay long, and prepared to go back to his residence to summon pirate followers and [Albatross of Misfortune].

By the boat, Sean and Windsor bid farewell:

"Wendsor, now the first gunboat has been successfully transformed, and overall it has achieved the expected results. When I go back later, I will ask the Blacksmith Association to work hard to manufacture artillery, and build 6 gunboats as soon as possible.

From now on, all naval affairs will be left to you! "

"Sir, I will try my best." Windsor replied seriously.

After explaining to Windsor, Sean looked at Earl Powell beside him: "Powell, you have worked hard during this time too!"

Powell hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Your Highness Sean, what are you talking about? It's not hard at all! It's my honor to serve His Highness and the Principality!"

"Don't worry, you will also have a share of the 'River Beach Medal' in the future." Sean patted Powell on the shoulder: "You are also a meritorious official of the principality."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Powell said gratefully: "Then I will go and arrange a place for Ms. Elizabeth to live now?"

"Okay." Sean nodded and looked at Elizabeth Lane: "Elizabeth, then you can follow Powell, and we can talk about our affairs after the war is over."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Elizabeth Lane agreed to Sean very gently.

After leaving the military port, Sean rode the【Activated Broom】and flew towards the residence.

But Sean felt that the flight was still too slow, and he wanted to go back through the [Portal].

But looking at Kate on his shoulder, Sean felt a little helpless.

Should I just tell Kate about [Portal]?
Anyway, if Matthew knows, Kate will know sooner or later, otherwise it would be really inconvenient to travel.

Seeing Sean looking at her, Kate couldn't help becoming vigilant: "What do you see me doing? Are you trying to trick me? If you like mature women, can't that Elizabeth Lane satisfy you?"

"Of course not. Let's go, let's go to a remote place, and I'll show you a big baby!"

Kate: "???"

……

Sean drove the broom to the ground, then waved one hand, and a golden-blue [portal gate] appeared on the spot.

"Please, Miss Kate, this is the portal to the residence." Sean said in a gentlemanly manner.

"The directional portal?" Kate said in disbelief, "You actually have such powerful means?!"

"Of course, but the portal can't last long, let's go there now."

Sean leads Kate through the portal.

It was the first time for Kate to use a directional portal, feeling the magic wave of [Portal], she couldn't help being amazed:
"Wow! It's really a directional portal technology! Do you know Sean, if you live in our Kingdom of Anjou, you can be a high-ranking official beside the king with just this skill!"

Sean smiled: "I'm a lord after all, so naturally I know the strategic value of the portal."

"Then can you teach me?" Kate showed eager eyes.

"I'm afraid it won't work." Sean showed a mysterious smile: "This is taught to me by my teacher who is hiding in the dark at the peak of legend. I definitely can't pass it on without his old man's permission."

"Legend peak." Kate couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "

He used to be the God of Light, but after being exposed, he became a teacher at the pinnacle of legend. If there really was such a teacher, you would have unified the entire continent long ago! "

"My teacher is a pandaren, he prefers to be quiet and doesn't like to fight for hegemony." Sean said nonsense.

"Pandaren? My teacher is still a giant dragon!" Kate didn't bother to talk to Sean, and flew out of the wine cellar, towards her room.

Xiao En smiled, and rode the [activated broom], and flew back to his study.
