Pirate Sequence: Start with Outlaws
Chapter 142 Chehai Port: The Legend of the Ghost Ship
Looking at the empty coffin in front of him, Rune slightly raised his eyebrows.
It was a unique teleportation method. I had never seen it before.
However, the colorful crow had signed a contract with him. Before Rune's "treasure plan" was completed, if the crow deliberately hurt him or framed him, it would also be punished by death.
So it would not use this method to deceive him.
"After entering, relax your body and mind and breathe slowly." Mo Er said, "Just like sleeping."
Rune lay in the coffin, and the rotting smell of the rotten wood around him penetrated his nostrils.
This smell was not very unpleasant, but rather had a faint fragrance.
The heavy coffin board was slowly closed, and the light of the world in front of him gradually disappeared.
"You only have a maximum of one month over there, you have to hurry up."
The "rustling" sound of the soil covering the coffin board gradually sounded.
The silent white noise fell, and Rune felt that he was gradually falling in the darkness.
If he relied on his own will, he could completely resist such a vision.
However, he remembered what Mo Er said, so he simply calmed down and let himself drift in the darkness.
After an unknown amount of time, Rune fell into a shallow sleep.
He felt like he was on a ferry, with waves rolling around him.
The sound of wind and rain hitting the iron deck was also clearly audible.
It was as if he had crossed a sea and the ship had landed steadily.
Rune suddenly opened his eyes.
The surroundings were no longer inside the coffin.
He looked around, and this was a simple stone house.
The weather was hot and humid, and there were some weeds in the house. There was a kettle and some simple mechanical alchemy tools in front of him.
Scattered memories began to flood into Rune's mind.
This was the year 1543 of the Imperial Calendar, which was more than a hundred years before the year 1654 when Rune was there.
"Chehai Wharf", as the name suggests, is in the "Chehai" of the Five Oceans and Seven Seas.
The water in Chehai is extremely clear, and you can clearly see hundreds of meters below on the sea surface, hence the name.
This sea is located right in the middle of the Five Oceans and Seven Seas.
The northern land is the imperial city.
So Chehai Wharf is an important channel connecting the imperial city and the five oceans and seven seas.
But in history, Chehai Wharf is not famous. It is as unknown as many other places.
There is only one thing that almost everyone in the empire knows.
That is, a disaster occurred at Chehai Wharf in a certain year and month, causing the wharf to be destroyed and damaged.
Later, the empire did not rebuild it, but chose another place to build a new wharf.
"Chehai Wharf" has completely become history.
The reason why it is "a certain year and a certain month" is because Rune knows only a little about it.
This kind of thing is quite normal. After all, many major historical events are known to everyone, but to know exactly when,
I am afraid most people only know a little.
"So, my current identity is a hard laborer at Chehai Wharf."
Rune absorbed the memories in his mind with ease.
He also thoroughly understood that the "teleportation" mentioned by the colored crow and Mo Er was not a simple spatial displacement.
But it was traveling through time and space and replacing some of the identities!
It was really some surprising means.
Slightly surprised, Rune continued to recall everything about his current identity.
"I said I was a laborer, but in fact there were some technical elements involved, involving superficial alchemy. I was responsible for the basic maintenance of the ship on weekdays, working under the foreman 'Iman', with a basic salary of 20 silver coins a month"
"My current clothes seem a little unsuitable."
Rune took a look at his clothes, and the ability of the divine mask was activated.
Soon, the coarse linen clothes, simple decorations, and the face beaten by wind and rain were all revealed.
Pushing open the wooden door, the salty and humid sea breeze hit my face.
In front of me, a row of stone buildings were lined up.
This is the "slum" of Chehai Wharf. Generally speaking, laborers and vagrants gather here.
The key reason is that the rent of the house here is only 50 copper coins a month.
"Hey, Normand, you're awake!"
As soon as Rune went out, a man as thin as a stick greeted him enthusiastically,
"You're really desperate. You haven't slept for four consecutive days! You don't have to work so hard for money!"
"I saw you lying motionless in bed before, and I thought you were dead!"
Rune frowned slightly.
It seems that "Normand" is his name.
This predecessor worked frantically for four days and four nights to make money. It seems that this is the reason for his death.
And the guy who is talking to him is called "Yade", and he is a co-worker under the same foreman as himself.
We usually have a good relationship.
At this moment, it seems that under the influence of some rules, in Yade's eyes, there is no difference between him and "Normand".
"I can't die, but I'm a little tired." Rune quickly adapted to the identity of "Normand".
"Humph! Who wouldn't be tired with your work intensity?" Yade muttered, as if complaining. "Even if there are many new ships coming to Chehai Port because of the 'ghost ship' incident and there are many more customers, you don't have to work so hard!"
As he spoke, he clapped his fingers and said, "If you participate in the repair work of a ship, you can only get 20 to 150 copper coins at most. It takes a lot of time and is not cost-effective! This Yiman has many customers. Even if the price is lowered, I don’t really want to continue doing it anyway.”
"How about Normand, stop working and let's go on strike together. Without you, their work progress will be slowed down a lot, and Iman will definitely be anxious to increase our prices."
Yade talked a lot, Lu En listened and just shook his head.
It seems that "Normand" is also a miserable man.
It can be seen from the previous things that this guy has mastered simple alchemy.
With this skill, you won't end up in such a miserable state.
Still being squeezed.
These thoughts flashed through Lu En's mind. To him, these things could only be regarded as "identity supplements" and not absolutely important.
The most important thing at the moment is the "ghost ship" mentioned by Yade.
"Did you just mention the 'ghost ship'?" Luen turned his head and looked at Yade.
"That's right! Why don't you know? You're a guy who only knows how to work hard!" Yade is a talkative person, and when he talked about these gossips, he even opened up the chatterbox, "Let me tell you, why is our repair shop doing so recently? Business is booming because of the legend of the 'Ghost Ship'!"
"No, it shouldn't be said to be a legend, but it's true!"
"Actually, there was some news about this matter half a year ago, but at that time everyone listened to it as a joke. After all, in a sea like 'Chehai', how could such a terrifying thing appear? We in Chehai have always It is synonymous with 'calm' and 'clear'."
"This is the sea area closest to the emperor. It is absolutely impossible for such a thing to happen."
"But three months ago, something big happened on the Chehai Sea! An explorer really encountered a ghost ship!"
"From the explorer's words, we know that the ghost ship is completely black, more than three hundred meters long and seventy or eighty meters wide. It is full of undead creatures and covered with skulls!"
"Those explorers were attacked by a ghost ship. Later, this matter attracted attention from all parties, and some 'Dream Whisperers' went to investigate. Facts have proved that what happened to the explorers was real."
Yade took a deep breath, "It is rumored that the ghost ship is very powerful. If you can tame it and become its master, you will be destined to become a famous captain in history! Many adventurers heard this and Now that you have arrived at Chehai Port, you have so much work to do.”
When Lu En heard this, he already had a plan in his mind.
When he got the mysterious treasure map before, he had compared it with the world map of the Five Oceans and Seven Seas.
No corresponding location was found.
Now it seems that this sea area was originally a sea area that was "destroyed" and "does not exist in future generations", so naturally it cannot be found.
Only guys like Color Crow, who have gone through a lot of history, and even guys who have faced and fought with the Undead, can recognize it at a glance.
Lu En thought as he headed towards the port faster and faster. Now he just wanted to reach the port as quickly as possible and collect some useful information.
With so many ships coming, there is always some information and rumors that will get out.
As a hard worker who repairs ships, he is the profession that has the best access to this information.
Yad followed behind helplessly.
He was talking happily just now, but in the end, he still had to go to the port to work.
Going on strike or something like that is just talk.
If you don’t work, where can you earn money and eat?
The two walked for more than ten minutes, and the port was in sight in the distance.
With his memory, Lu En could tell at a glance that the number of ships docking at the port now was indeed three to four times that of the past.
The ships seem a bit crowded here. If the port were not large enough, the current ships would have exceeded the port capacity.
"Normand, you guy, wait for me! Your body needs to be trained at work, right? You can run like this!"
Luen's speed was so fast that Yade couldn't keep up for a while, and he was panting behind him.
After hearing Yade's words, Lu En frowned and slowed down.
Indeed, even though he has a godhead mask, he disguises himself very well.
But we still have to pay attention to the details. How can a hard worker like Normand travel so fast?
Yade, who was panting from exhaustion, put a hand on Lu En's shoulder.
"Haha. If you ask me, if you have a body like yours, and you dress up a little bit, how can you build a ship? Find a noble lady, a rich wife, and just live on your own!"
"They like it. They like you who have endless energy! Four days and four nights to repair the ship, what a concept! No matter how desolate the field is, you can moisten it for her!"
Lu En rolled his eyes, this Yad knew how to complain.
He deliberately slowed down and walked slowly to the port with Yade.
A rather grand sign for a ship repair yard hangs in the corner of the port.
Currently, hundreds of hard workers are busy in the ship repair yard. Ships dock from time to time, and there is almost no room left.
"Normand! You're finally here, hurry up! You're going to be too busy!"
Iman, the director of the ship repair yard, his eyes lit up the moment he saw Lu En.
He greeted me warmly as if he was seeing a mountain of gold.
As soon as he saw Lu En, he came up to hold Lu En's hand and lead him towards the work station.
Lu En sneered in his heart.
Indeed, a guy who knows a little bit about alchemy and whose monthly basic salary is only fifteen hundred copper coins, isn't that a money printing machine?
However, in order not to arouse suspicion, he didn't say much. He just followed Norman and was led by him to the latest docked ship.
This is an old Northrend A-4 cargo ship, 84 meters long and 22 meters wide. It was transformed by the captain into a light warship.
But "old-fashioned" means to Rune. In this era, such ships are already very advanced.
As soon as the ship stopped, Iman greeted it enthusiastically.
This actually made Lu En a little curious.
After all, although they have not seen top-level ships on weekdays, they have seen many good ships.
A modified A-4 cargo ship is not enough for Iman to have such an attitude.
The only possibility is that the identity of the person who got off the ship is somewhat unusual.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, five young people got off the boat.
Everyone is dressed gorgeously and in rich colors - in this era, whether one's status is noble can be judged by the color of the clothes.
"Guys, please come this way." Iman nodded and bowed, showing his utmost flattery.
Five young people, three men and two women.
The man had a sense of arrogance and imposingness on his face, while the two girls seemed more gentle.
Four of them were very respectful to the girl in purple clothes.
"Normand, what are you looking at?" Yade also came over at this time, looking around in the direction of Lu En's eyes, "Hey, those few people are quite interesting. At first glance, they are the children of noble families, but I can't say that. Come back, there are so many aristocratic children in our area, a brick falling from upstairs can hit several of them."
As he was talking, Yiman and the others slowly walked towards this side.
"Hey, don't worry, our ship-repairing skills are top-notch. Did you see that young man in front? He is our professional alchemist, a professional!"
"The situation of your ship cannot be repaired elsewhere, but here we make it easy!"
"Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll fix it for you in five days. No, I'll fix it in three days!"
Iman promised the few people diligently, completely ignoring that Yade's face was completely dark.
Several noble disciples walked up to Lu En, then stopped and looked at Lu En up and down with disgusted eyes.
Then he casually took out a money bag from his arms and said, "If the money you spend to repair the ship cannot be repaired, give me back ten times the amount."
His tone allowed no room for rejection.
Iman opened the purse and took a look. The golden coins inside instantly attracted all his attention.
He licked his lips and said, "Definitely! It can definitely be fixed, don't worry!"
Hearing Iman's words, the noble man smiled disdainfully, and then led the people out.
Lu En's eyes moved over several people in an undetectable way.
Suddenly, a pair of eyes collided with his gaze.
It's the girl in purple.
Lu En quickly lowered his gaze.
It's not because I'm afraid of looking at each other.
It's because the girl in purple clothes has really big thunder.
Even if they are wrapped tightly, they can't hide their elegance at all.
The girl in purple clothes was about to say something when she was pulled away by her companions.
The few people left in the repair shop looked at each other.
Iman walked up to Lu En and pretended to pat him on the shoulder.
"Hmph, you boy has a big job to do this time!"
"Do you know who those are?"
"The third son of the empire, Belifu, and the fourth son, Rogui, of the Marquis Duane's family."
"Dazzle, the eldest son of Marquis Brener's family in the Empire, and his sister Dahlia."
"And the most beloved daughter of Duke Heyman of the Empire, Melulan."
