One of the pirate swords splits the new world

Ryan told Aslan about his decision to buy the boat and the reasons why. Of course, there is actually no problem with Ryan not telling Aslan, but considering that they will be companions in the future, some communication is still inevitable. Besides, one person is short-term and two people are long-term. Maybe Aslan, as a local snake, can make some constructive suggestions.

Aslan agreed after listening to Ryan's story.

"Then let's go buy a boat later." In Ryan's previous life, men were as enthusiastic about buying cars as they were about buying boats in this world, and Ryan couldn't wait.

However, Aslan did not express his position immediately, but asked a question.

"Mr. Lane, I wonder if you want to buy a boat that can accommodate how many people?

Ryan only thinks about buying a boat, but he hasn't thought about Aslan's question yet.

"I haven't thought about it," Ryan replied truthfully.

Then Aslan asked: "Do you have any requirements for the material of the hull?"

"What about the type and construction of the vessel?"

“Should I buy a new boat or a used one?”

"How to recruit various crew members on the ship after buying it?"

amount……

After Aslan finished his question, there was a long silence between the two.

Aslan probably saw something and said solemnly: "Mr. Lane, you should be more careful about buying a boat. A boat is not only a means of transportation, but also a place of living. You will spend most of your time eating and living on it. We have to ride him through the wind and rain. If you want to live a comfortable life in the future, you'd better think about it in advance."

"I haven't thought about this yet." Ryan sighed, honestly admitting that he was indeed a little careless.

Aslan didn't say anything else. He got up and went to the front desk of the hotel to get pen and paper.

"Mr. Lane, let's sort out your thoughts first. If you clarify your thoughts, you can save a lot of time."

The atmosphere became serious, and Ryan sat upright and nodded to Aslan.

Aslan asked the first question: "Mr. Lane, how much money do you estimate for buying a boat?"

Ryan was quite clear about this matter and replied: "I collected about 1150 million beli from the black casino that day. Plus my own 1000 million, the total is 2150 beri. I decided to use 1500 million to buy a boat , and use the rest for other purposes.”

Aslan lowered his head and wrote "1500 million Baileys" on the paper. At the same time, he asked: "Mr. Lane, are you planning to buy a new boat or an old boat?"

"Of course it's better to be new."

Aslan nodded. "The third question is, how big of a boat do you plan to buy? Let's make an agreement first. You must at least ensure that you reserve enough space for other crew members."

"Well... because I don't have any plans to recruit too many men for the time being. So I will first recruit a navigator, a cook, a doctor, a helmsman, a boatman, and four sailors to be responsible for lookout, reefing, and anchoring respectively. You can be the boatman, and then Including me, there are ten people in total. So the boat must have enough space for ten people.”

"Are there any requirements for ship materials?"

"Is Adam Wood okay?" Ryan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I've only heard of Adam Wood, and I don't know about the rest."

Aslan raised his head and rolled his eyes at Ryan, then continued to lower his head to record.

"Are there any requirements for ship type and structure?"

"Ah, I don't know about this, but there are a few points that I must meet: first, I need to have a separate room and bathroom, second, my practice room must be big enough to hold enough equipment, third, I need to run fast, and fourth, It has to be strong and able to withstand wind and rain. That's all for now." It's not like Ryan can't live in the same room with others. After all, he and Aoki Okawa have also lived in the same room for 7 years. The reason why he wants a separate room is-what if he has a partner? This is a very serious question.

Aslan finished writing, put down the pen and looked at the content on the paper. He pondered for a long time and said to Ryan: "I have summarized your request. Let's go to the pier of the port. I know there are A shipyard with a good reputation.”

"Okay, I'll go up and get the money, you wait for me to get off."

After Ryan took the money and went downstairs, the two headed to the dock together. When they arrived at the dock, Aslan took Ryan to meet the shipyard owner who Aslan mentioned was quite reputable.

Aslan first went up to negotiate with the boss, while Ryan observed from the sidelines. At first glance, this shipyard owner doesn't want to be a boss at all. He has dark skin, is wearing an undershirt, a towel on his shoulders, shorts and slippers. His overall appearance is similar to that of a worker or sailor busy on the dock. , it’s just that I have an extra cattail leaf fan in my hand.

After taking Aslan to negotiate with the boss, he introduced the shipyard boss to Ryan. The boss enthusiastically stepped forward to shake hands with Ryan and said, "Hello, Mr. Ryan. I'm Dave."

After letting go of his hand, the shipyard owner said: "Mr. Lane, Mr. Aslan has already mentioned your request to me. We currently have two ships here that generally meet your requirements, with only a few exceptions. There is a discrepancy. How about I take you to have a look first? If you are really not satisfied, I will think of other ways. Do you think it will work? "

Ryan and Aslan looked at each other, and then said to the shipyard owner: "Okay, let's take a look first."

The owner of the shipyard took the two of them to the No. 5 dock. As he opened the door, he said to the two of them: "This is the first ship. It was newly built by our shipyard last month. It only needs to be painted in a few days." Once it’s dry, you can go into the water.”

After opening the door and entering, Ryan and Aslan saw the ship. The owner of the shipyard took the two people on board the ship to visit and explained: "This ship is 15 meters long, 7 meters wide, with a mast height of 18 meters, two masts, two floors on the deck and two floors in the cabin, a total of four floors. It includes a kitchen, a toilet, a bathroom, and four rooms that can be allocated flexibly. However, because the heavier golden flower wood is used as the keel of the ship, the sailing speed is not fast among ships of the same type. It is 10~ per hour with a tailwind. 12 knots. But it’s very durable and resistant. It can go anywhere in the world. The price is 1300 million beli.”

After hearing this, Ryan nodded to express understanding, and then said: "There is another ship, take me to see it too."

"Okay, please come this way." The shipyard owner didn't say much about Ryan's non-commitment. After all, the principle of shopping around is the same everywhere.

A group of three people came to the No. 17 dock where the second ship was placed. While visiting, the boss still patiently introduced: "This ship was just collected half a month ago. It is 6% new, with a total length of 22 meters and a width of 13 meters. The mast It is 15 meters high. It also has two floors, a total of four floors. The number of rooms is similar, but the hull is made of lighter fir, and the speed can reach 1000~ knots. However, the resistance is not that good. But since it is second-hand Yes, the price is much cheaper, for beli, it’s yours.”

After listening to the shipyard owner's words, Ryan fell into deep thought. Then he called Aslan aside and asked: "Aslan, do you have any advice?"

Aslan seemed to have already made up his mind and asked: "Ryan, will you always stay in the South China Sea?"

"Of course not. I estimate that after staying in the South China Sea for half a year at most, I will have to go to the Great Channel, where the strong men gather."

"The wind and rain in the Great Channel will become more violent. You will definitely need a ship made of Adam wood to sail freely. It will be a matter of time for you to change ships."

"I understand." Ryan gave Aslan an "understanding" look.

Ryan walked over and told his boss to buy a second boat. The two were about to go to the notary office to make a transaction when a guy from the shipyard ran over. He said a few words in the ear of the shipyard boss. Ryan didn't want to eavesdrop on other people's privacy, but he just vaguely heard the name "Yeager".
