Pirate: This shooter is a bit fierce
Chapter 243 The wine is flowing
In Tom's studio, the workers were hammering and hammering with wooden hammers and saws, and it was a lively scene.
"Everyone, work harder and try to nail the keel today. Today's wages will be doubled, and I'll treat you all to drinks tonight." Tom, wearing labor protection gloves and holding a hammer, shouted to the boatmen who were working.
For workers, rewards of real money and silver are the most useful. After hearing Tom's words, the workers in the dock worked hard, waving hammers and planers to speed up their work.
Counting today, it has only been three days since Tom drew the design of the new ship. In these few days, Darrow and his new ship has already begun to take shape. Of course, this is also the result of money.
Regardless of cost, we strive for the fastest and best. I believe it will be soon. I believe that within a month, Darrow and the others will be able to see their new ship.
On the other side, Darrow and the others were discussing how to deal with the [Water Gods] in the hotel in two days.
"We estimate that the waves rolled up by the [Water Gods] this time will be at least more than 800 meters above the sea level. We need to defeat them and suppress them below 200 meters so that they will not have an impact on the Seven Waters Capital. "Gwent said while holding a coffee cup and her legs hanging on both sides of the back of the chair.
"Oh, by the way! What will Li Qian do then?" Sophia, with her arms folded, interjected and asked.
After Sofia said this, Darrow and the others discovered that in addition to missing a very destructive member, there was another serious problem - Izumi Riken could not fly!
Therefore, after he strikes with all his strength, it is very likely that he will fall directly into the sea, or even be swept away directly by the tsunami reaching the sky. Facing the huge waves hundreds of meters high, let alone those who are proficient in water, even the fish-men tribe It is possible to be directly smashed by the waves.
"The weather ship is useless?" Darrow said with a frown.
"No!" Gwent shook his head, and then explained: "The weather ship floats on air currents. When the water gods approach, the air currents in the surrounding seas will be severely disrupted, and the weather ship cannot sail stably. "
After hearing Gwent's words, the helpless people fell silent.
On the side, Lecter seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he turned his head to look at everyone: "Do you still remember the suspension device of the thunder and lightning spacecraft we got on the empty island?"
"Thundership? Are you talking about the Ark's motto?" Gwent intervened to explain.
When the two said this, Darrow remembered that he had indeed obtained the drawings of the Ark's Proverbs and the core MK-2 electric levitation device on the Sky Island at that time.
"Stop being so pretentious and tell me your plan!" a confused Aisha asked eagerly.
"I mean, that suspension device has been there for so long, so it should be put to use. And don't forget, this is the capital of the Seven Waters. It only takes two days to transform a ship here..."
It makes sense. Darrow slapped his forehead and suddenly realized: "The Mermaid Chant is still parked at Hulk Island. I will go find Tom in a moment."
Originally, after Darrow obtained the drawings and core of the Ark's Proverbs, he planned to use them in their new ship. However, after seeing the drawings of the new ship that Tom brought over a few days ago, Darrow gave up on this plan.
The new ship is too big to be driven by the power of the suspension device, but it is just right for driving the Mermaid Chant. This also solves the problem of the placement of the Mermaid Chant——
Darrow planned to ask Tom to transform the Mermaid Anthem into a smaller flying vessel, which could then be mounted on the new ship and sail along with it.
People can't help but talk about it. As he was talking, the phone placed on the brown entry shoe cabinet rang. Darrow answered the phone, and Tom's slightly excited voice rang.
"Master Darrow, I have already made the puppet you told me. I also heard that you have to deal with the [Water Gods] and are short of manpower, so I asked a very reliable friend to help. "
"In addition, the progress of your new ship is also quite good. I plan to invite the workers to drink in the studio tonight. You can come with me." Tom looked at the workers setting up the oven with a smile and said to the other end of the phone. .
"Yeah, that's great!" The good news one after another made Darrow unconsciously put a smile on his face, and then he told Tom about his plan to ask him to renovate the Mermaid Anthem. .
"Transformed into a spaceship?... I have no experience in this at all. When you come over at night, please bring the suspension device with you!" When Tom heard that Darrow and the others had such a magical thing, he suddenly became interested.
The moon was setting, and the aroma of barbecue came from Tom's studio. This method of barbecue directly in the shipyard is very common in the local area, and has even developed into a faint feature.
Shipbuilding is heavy physical labor, and some elderly shipwrights will inevitably suffer from muscle strain. Without alcohol anesthesia, they cannot sleep after a hard day's work.
So after the work is over, these workers often use the scraps and sawdust left over from shipbuilding to make fuel for barbecue. Even with the good wood, the original ordinary barbecue on the construction site becomes something special. Flavor.
"Oh, it's really lively." Darrow and the others walked in from the studio, looked at the dozens of boatmen gathered in the dock, and waved their hands to say hello to everyone.
"Ta la la la la, Mr. Darrow, you're here, come here." Seeing the visitor, Tom, who was sitting in the back, walked towards him with a smile, pulled Darrow and moved inside.
At the innermost bar, Cocoro was grilling meat while feeding Heng Gang, the pet in Tom's Studio. As the "founder of Tom's Studio", this frog had a very high status.
In addition to these two people, there was also a burly man wearing a black cloak. Looking at the familiar back and the violent aura exuding from the other person, Darrow recognized him immediately.
"Haha, Tom, this is not the helper you are talking about, right? We are old acquaintances." Darrow looked at Tom meaningfully, patted the other person's shoulder and said.
Although Darrow didn't expect anything in return when he took the initiative to save the Leviathan, the fact that the other party left without even saying "thank you" still made him quite unhappy.
"I heard what Cocoro said about what happened before... This friend of mine has a deep prejudice against human beings because of some things..." Tom explained awkwardly.
At the same time, he picked up the carved Namib puppet body on the side, pulled Darrow to the side, and whispered:
"Herman is a tough guy. It's hard for him to say thank you. However, he has expressed his gratitude with practical actions. You see, he helped sculpt this doll. Let me tell you, he has a bad temper. Although it’s a bit ugly, the craftsmanship is definitely this,” Tom said, gesturing with his thumb.
Hearing this, Darrow's tense expression relaxed a bit, and he felt less resentful towards this rude Leviathan. Then, with the best help from Tom, the community leader, Darrow and the others sat together at the bar and tasted the wine.
It is said that men have no grudges that they can't let go of in a drinking party. After a few rounds of drinking, the atmosphere in the venue gradually became harmonious.
And after knowing that Herman would also deal with the [Water Gods] with them, even Lecter, who had the biggest objection before, said nothing more.
"If Mr. Darrow and the others hadn't defeated that evil guy at that time, I don't know what terrible things would have happened... I remember that when I was a child, I had a very close sister who was kidnapped. She has been ten years old now. No news for several years..."
The drunken Kokoro wiped away his tears while he was drunk, and accused the Tianlong people of the crimes of the guy who captured the mermaids as slaves.
"These bastards, scum, bugs, disgusting guys..." Elsa, the softest-hearted and naive one, couldn't hear this, clenching her fists and cursing through gritted teeth.
On the other hand, Ginny and Ivankov, who were new interns and had previous experience as slaves, looked at each other, as if they were glad that they had escaped from the devil's cave.
"..." Herman, who was sitting aside, changed his expression slightly when he saw that this group of pirates were actually fighting for the fishmen, instead of taking it for granted or that it had nothing to do with them like most humans. .
"Kokoro...don't be too excited!" Tom sighed and pulled Cocoro over to comfort him. He seemed to feel that the atmosphere was a little heavy. Tom hiccupped and continued to say to everyone and himself:
"Don't worry, the situation of the mermaid tribe will get better. The new King Neptune is the British master, and Faye Otohime is also working hard to integrate into humans. As long as we believe that one day, we will definitely be able to find a way to be compatible with humans. A model of equal coexistence..."
As if he felt that Tom's words were a bit self-deceiving, Herman, as a hard-line member of the mermaid clan, moved his lips slightly, but just as he was about to speak, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
He didn't want to ruin the atmosphere on the court, let alone veto the efforts of doves like Otohime and Tom over the years, but there was another person on the court who was sober and even aware of the future development, acting as his mouthpiece.
"Don't be naive, Tom... You can't deal with those brutal guys with gentle means. The only thing that can buy equality and dignity is strong strength... Dignity is only on the edge of the sword, and equality can only be fought for with fists." Darrow said every word seriously, but he didn't know how much Tom, who was already drunk at this time, could listen.
"..." Hearing this, Herman was stunned, and the hand holding the bottle paused slightly. Instead, he picked up the water pipe that was put aside, took a deep breath, and spit out smoke.
"Dignity is only as good as the edge of the sword... Kid, I really like you a little bit!"
