The Iron Ship Island of the Great Voyage

"Makes you feel threatened?"

The middle-aged man was full of disbelief, and said: "It's too exaggerated... No matter how evil, the world can change so much in two years? Even if you take the 'Twelve Demigod Sequence' potion, or the devil fruit ability Otherwise, I am afraid it will not reach this level.”

Chapman's eyes were also foggy, and he said meaningfully: "So...he is a very amazing guy."

"..."

If Raymond knew that the middle-aged man who was talking to Chapman was the Revolutionary Army liaison officer "Bald Eagle" he had pretended to be, he would probably be very surprised.

......

"It's been two years... Anna, if you're not dead, I'll save you. If you're dead, I'll help you fulfill your last wish."

On the deck of the merchant ship, Raymond was leaning against the fence and blowing the sea breeze, with deep melancholy in his eyes.

Fast forward two years, at this moment, his temperament and appearance have undergone tremendous changes.

I don't know if it was changed by the strong acid topping last time. His newly grown hair has become a flaxen color mixed with gray and white. It is shoulder-length and slightly curled, and it has the temperament of an ancient aristocrat.And his left eye is still gray and lifeless, and the skin near the eye socket still has a healed radial scar.Although this scar destroyed his original handsome face, it added a bit of vicissitudes and calm temperament.

With his current appearance, I am afraid that the old people back then would not be able to recognize him as the former Raymond.

At this time, a faint remark brought Lei Meng's melancholy thoughts back.

"Captain Raymond, you said that you want to take me on a voyage, why should we have our own ship? Also... There must be a large enough laboratory on board... I should also add some materials and new instruments Now...you know I have no money, you are the captain, these are all things you have to consider..."

Lulu counted with her fingers, with an expression on my face that I read a lot and you can't fool me.

In two years, Lei Meng had completely fooled this big-headed son.The two of them have shared joys and sorrows, and their relationship has long been different from what it used to be.Lulu, who lost his parents, also regards Raymond as his only spiritual sustenance; and Raymond, who is also alone, also regards this simple-minded guy as his close partner.

However, even so.

When Lei Meng heard Lulu talk, he also had a bitter expression on his face.The cash on his body now is probably enough for travel expenses, and he is a bit stretched if he wants to buy more expensive things.

"What's missing is money..."

Raymond sighed inwardly.

The waves and storms in the world of great navigation are much more exaggerated and dangerous than those on the earth in the previous life.

The better the performance of a sea-going ship, the more guaranteed its life is, which cannot be sloppy at all.

And if you want to build a ship that can sail long distances, the cost is also extremely high.The hull alone, without the addition of artillery and armor, would cost hundreds of millions... Besides, what they need is a super long-distance ship that can safely pass through the "chaotic wind belt", and the money they need is even more an astronomical figure.

Not to mention the high-end instruments needed for the Lulu experiment, each one is no cheaper than an ocean-going ship...

Engaging in scientific research is a bottomless pit of burning money...

Moreover, it is very likely to lose everything.

Picking up this baby to be a ship's doctor, Lei Meng suddenly felt as if he had brought a gold-swallowing beast with him...

Therefore,

Tianlan King is the most prosperous and prosperous city in the Black Sea, so he must go there.

After thinking about it, he said to Lulu: "The best shipyard in the Black Sea is in Tianlan King Capital. Let's go there first, and then get a better ship before going to sea. As for the equipment you want... Black Sea The level of technology is very low and cannot meet your needs. In the future, we will go to the endless sea and find a way to get some for you..."

These words are not false.

Although both of them are officially wanted bounty criminals, and you can't buy things through formal official channels, Raymond does know a lot of wild ways in the underground black market. Although it is not easy to get what Lulu needs, you only need money Enough and not too difficult.

hear this,

"Oh, okay."

Lulu showed a contented and joyful smile.

He looked at Raymond's face again in a blink of an eye, blinked, and suggested: "Also... Captain Raymond, do you really need me to change your eye? I have a new idea recently... .I think the technology of 'organ rejection' between heterogeneous organisms should also be breakthrough. Shall I try changing the eyes of a haman fish? Let me tell you, those are the most beautiful eyes in the world ..."

"..."

Lei Meng heard his eyelids twitch, and said quietly: "Lulu, can you stop paying attention to my eyes... I think I can use one eye just fine."

He thought of the zombies and sea beasts that the big-headed son had destroyed in the past two years, and his heart beat.

What's wrong with studying, this guy suddenly became interested in the limb transplantation of xenobiotics.It feels like his scientific research direction is about to go astray, and it seems that he is going further and further in the direction of that kind of scary doctor...

This kind of "limb transplant" experiment is still in the introductory stage, and only some low-level sea beasts are needed to meet his needs.This can be regarded as a small interest in Datouzi's many research fields that does not cost much money.

For Raymond, this is barely good news.

......

After a few days,

"Tia Road Brown Bear Territory" is a neutral territory, and the total area of ​​the ship island is only a little larger than a city in Philip's Territory.

The two of Lei Meng got off the merchant ship, and they were going to transfer here, and then take the long-distance ship to Tianlan King's Capital.

"It's strange... This territory is not so lively in the game."

Raymond looked at the bustling crowds of people on the brown bear collar street, and was a little puzzled.This is very different from the scene in his impression.When he disembarked just now, he found that there were a large number of scary sea ships docked at the pier, and the throughput of this flow of people was comparable to that of an ordinary super-large city.

Moreover, the costumes of the people passing by on the street are also highly recognizable. Ninety percent of them are armed with weapons and muskets, dressed as fully armed adventurers.

......

The mercenary union led by brown bears is not big,

It has already been surrounded by adventurers and mercenaries from all over the Black Sea.

Raymond finally squeezed in and inquired about some recent news about what happened in Tianlan Kingdom.

After walking out, he realized what happened.

It turned out that the reason why the brown bear collar became so prosperous today was because of the dragon attack two years ago.

The overlord of the Black Sea, the giant lava dragon "Kraken", has been entrenched on the Nigel Volcanic Islands for hundreds of years, so the surrounding large sea area has always been a forbidden area for humans.But two years ago, after the evil dragon went to Philip and went crazy to Philip's collar and was killed, the Nigel Volcanic Islands no longer had any dreadful existence.This archipelago has been untouched for 200 years, and is rich in resources. It is not only a habitat for various sea animals, but also a treasure that has been plundered by evil dragons for centuries...

The most surprising thing is that in the depths of the jungle on the volcanic island, many human remains from the "Nix Civilization" period were discovered!

Many lucky adventurers even found some super magic scrolls, ancient books, potion formulas, priceless cultural relics, weapons, and stone carvings of martial arts in those ruins... This discovery completely made this sea area lively , Attracting a large number of adventurers to come to treasure hunting.

"Tialu Brown Bear Territory" is also the closest human territory to Nigel Volcano. Because of this excellent geographical location, it has also become the most prosperous and lively territory in this sea area.

"Nigel Volcano..."
