We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

[Sturdy single cannon*3]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Type: component]

[Description: An old-fashioned artillery piece that is not too old. Its strength and durability are trustworthy, but please do not expect its accuracy and range. 】

[Equipped on a ship to increase the "firepower" attribute! 】

[Truth exists within the range of the cannon! 】

Of course, these three artillery pieces were also looted from the Blood Wolf.

It took Xia En a lot of effort to fish them out of the sea.

But it's clearly worth it.

Like many Chinese, Xia En also has a "phobia of insufficient firepower." There is no such thing as too much artillery.

The difference in accuracy can be made up for by quantity!

On the other hand, Xia En has not forgotten that the attributes of the ship are also linked to himself.

Upgrading the ship's equipment is upgrading yourself.

However, just putting it on the ship does not seem to be considered a "assembled" state.

Shane planned to wait for them to dry before loading them on the side of the boat.

As for the strange machinery next to the cannon, it is even more heavyweight!

[Steam turbines from some years ago]

[Quality: Rare]

[Type: component]

[Description: Machinery powered by steam was once one of the advanced technological products of the previous era, and is now widely used in navigation. 】

[When installed on a ship, it can increase the "speed" attribute! 】

[Steam technology, boy! 】

Although this strange piece of machinery is called a "steam turbine."

But after Xia En looked at it carefully for a long time, he felt that it was completely different from the steam engine in his impression.

Precise gears, extremely complex cylinders, as well as brass-colored pipes, valves and connecting parts...just looking at it makes people have headaches.

Compared with ordinary steam engines, they are more like creations that come out of some fantasy theme, full of weird and contradictory beauty.

Come to think of it, this is the product of this world's weird technology tree.

It can be called steam black technology!

If it were put up for auction on the island, I don't know how many Silver Snake coins it could sell.

This is the most valuable trophy on the [Blood Wolf].

At this moment, Xia En also understood the reason why the Blood Wolf could catch up with the Black Swan.

The power sources of the two are not at the same level, so the speed is naturally incomparable.

"But...how to install it?"

Xia En studied for a long time like a novice installing the computer for the first time, and finally came to the conclusion——

If you want to install this steam turbine on a ship and use it as a reliable source of power, you need to make certain modifications to the ship's hull!

This task is obviously not something that Xia En can do alone.

"It seems that when we return to Duke Island, we need to find a reliable shipwright."

After counting all the trophies, Xia En felt happy and couldn't stop smiling.

"Captain Hansen, you are truly my noble man!"

Not only did he send his own head, but he also sent over all the property on the [Blood Wolf], which directly solved Xia En's debt problem.

"It's better to make money as a pirate. After working so hard to salvage sunken ships for so long, the income is not as good as this wave of robberies."

Gradually, a bold idea suddenly appeared in Xia En's mind.

"Why don't you just change your job?"

"hiss……"

Xia En was surprised by his idea at first, but after thinking about it, it seemed that it was actually somewhat feasible.

With his current moral level, it would be unrealistic to directly rob merchant ships, but...

When a pirate ship comes to steal the Black Swan, it makes sense to kill the pirate ship yourself, right?

Not only can you seize the pirate's bounty, but you can also loot the entire ship's property.

Kill two birds with one stone!

Isn’t it wonderful?

Now, it's fantasy time!

"Ahem."

Shane shook his head to calm down.

He also knows that his current strength is far from being able to dominate the sea, and he still has to kneel down when he encounters a truly powerful Mystic.

But it is indeed a way to make a fortune.

"We still have to take a long-term approach and we can't be hasty."

Xia En's eyes were shining with excitement, but he still suppressed his distracting thoughts and waved his hand.

"Let's set sail and return!"

…

…

Having already made a lot of money, a boatload of loot (including heads) needs to be sold urgently. In addition, there is not much fresh water and dry food reserves left on the boat...

Of course, Xia En had no reason to stay in this sea area anymore. The top priority was to quickly return to the island to replenish supplies.

To be honest, although the crabs and fish in the sea taste good, Xia En can't stand eating them every day. He has to change his taste with food on land.

this day.

Shane and Joey were wiping the trophies on the deck and putting them into sacks.

Diwu——

A long whistle sounded in the distance.

Xia En looked up and saw a huge three-masted sailboat slowly sailing across the sea.

The hull of this ship is painted with scarlet paint. It is four to five times the size of the Black Swan and is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people going out to sea together.

The sails are painted with a magnificent pattern of roses, which is the emblem of the Nova family and the symbol of the Duke.

"It's the Blood Duke!"

Joey exclaimed softly, with a little awe in his eyes.

That is the largest and most magnificent ship near Duke Island, and it is also the embodiment of Duke Nova's force and authority.

Xia En's eyes also fell on the [Blood Duke], but his heart felt a little hot.

If you could control such a huge ship, how high would your attributes soar?

Second level? Third level?

Or stronger?

Although the Blood Duke is large and powerful, it does not look down on small ships like the Black Swan, so it is not a threat.

It is not too far from Duke Island, and many ships can be seen faintly on the sea.

The ships are large and small, some have just left the sea, and some are returning.

There is quite a sense of hundreds of teams vying for the current and thousands of sails sailing.

And this is just a small Duke Island.

It is unimaginable how many ships are setting sail on the entire sea area.

This is the Age of Discovery!

Looking at this scene, Xia En felt a burning fire in his heart.

He patted the mast next to him and said to himself: "Xiao Hei, you have to work harder and upgrade quickly. Let's work hard together."

"One day, people all over the sea will look up to us!"

The sails on the mast swayed gently, seeming to respond to Shane's expectations.

Not long after, when the Black Swan was about to sail into the port, a sailboat of similar size approached.

"Hey, isn't this Captain Shane?"

On the opposite deck stood a rich, bald man.

Shane had some impression of this person. He seemed to be a fishing boat captain named "Jani", who had some issues with the original owner's father.

Previously, Jani approached the original owner to buy the Black Swan, but was rejected.

The gap between the two was thus forged.

Xia En was in a hurry to get rid of the loot on the ship and didn't want to waste too much time on him, so he asked calmly.

"Captain Gianni, are you okay?"
