Chapter 234： The Battleship

Hearing the exclamation of the sailors on the deck, everyone in the cabin rushed out.

Su Lun didn't know why, but he had a slightly ominous premonition in his heart.

Is the mist not formed naturally?

He thought of something called the "fog of war", which is a large-scale artificial fog created on the battlefield to conceal the movements of the army.

Su Lun had a thought in his mind: I was squatted!

The sea looks boundless and vast, but in fact, there are only one or two mature routes from the Port of Catullante to the North.

Suren estimated the voyage, their current location should be in a place called "Bartolomeu Strait". This is a strait named after the great navigator who opened this route.

This sea area is like the narrow part in the middle of the funnel, narrowing as it narrows. . Until near the strait, there will be a large area of ​​reefs, and the passing sea vessels have to pass a fixed route to be safe.

Because of this, it is also a place where pirates often visit.

If someone intercepts, this is one of the best ambush locations.

But I did not hear the sound of fighting, indicating that the situation does not seem to be too urgent, at least it will not be an emergency situation such as encountering a giant siren, pirate, or hitting a rock.

The thought flashed in his mind for a moment, and Su Lun put away the books and proceeded to the deck cautiously.

He was also very curious, what exactly did the sailors see and exclaimed.

Then, he saw the behemoth in the mist in front of him, and was shocked.

There was a...very huge steam steel battleship!

The medium-sized sailing ship "Maupassant" that Sulun is now staying in front of the exaggerated giant ship is like a cat than a lion, it looks so weak.

This is a huge battleship as large as a previous aircraft carrier, as high as twenty or thirty stories. The three huge chimneys are surging with billowing black air. Huge rivets inlaid pieces of steel plates around the hull, as if covering the giant with a layer of armor, giving people an indestructible and strong visual impact. The head of the ship is as sharp as an axe and the top has a golden horn like a lion head. The runes are faint, and it is visible to the naked eye. It seems that any ship that collides with it will be instantly destroyed and turned into powder.

The most exaggerated thing is that the ship is full of cannons of various calibers.

is like a spike on the back of a hedgehog, full of hideousness.

There are six barrels on the front and rear of the ship, each with a huge main gun measuring 20 to 30 meters long. In addition, the hull is full of turrets, and there are thousands of densely packed gun barrels. There are also giant whaling forks, alchemy crossbow arrows, heavy machine gun consoles... all kinds of war weapons that make your scalp numb when you look at it!

More is good, big is beautiful, caliber is justice, and within range is truth!

This is the battleship manufacturing concept in this steam-mechanical era.

This steel battleship perfectly interprets the meaning of this sentence.

huge!

There are many guns!

sturdy!

...

Ten sailing wooden boats heading to the Northland fleet stopped in front of the giant steel ship, and people rushed onto the deck, all shocking the giant steel beasts before them.

"This... how can there be huge steel ships! God, is it possible that the fleet of the Malfa Empire is coming over?"

"Look, it's not Marfa's ship, this is the flag of Grand Duke Raphael on the ship!"

"How is it possible... how can our empire have such a huge battleship?!"

"..."

In addition to shock, it is shock!

The appearance of this giant battleship completely exceeded the cognition of everyone on board.

Suren saw this battleship and was shocked, but he immediately realized something and felt bad: "Duke Raphael actually developed such a powerful battleship in secret?"

Seeing the crew so shocked, obviously there is no news from the outside world.

is now actually exposed?

Su Lin even speculated that the Royal family of Lu Ying might not know that Grand Duke Raphael had this "family property."

He is a mechanic himself, he can roughly estimate the range of the artillery by looking at the caliber of the artillery on the ship and the length of the barrel.

The larger the turret, the stronger the hull is needed to withstand the impact of the artillery. Only a steel battleship can be equipped with such a large number and such a huge artillery.

is not only big, it also involves complicated mechanical technology!

Warships of this tonnage may appear in the Marfa Empire, but they are definitely not possible in Luying.

Because of the technical content of the battleship, it is at least ahead of the current Luying battleship for decades!

...

No wonder there is a fog of war. It turned out to be a battleship used to conceal this super killer.

However, Su Lun was worried about something else.

Others don't know why Grand Duke Raphael is here, but he knows very well.

Not long ago, the pirates under the command of the "King of the North Sea" attacked the Black Barrier Reef and looted the "mine" Old Ling Dun of Archduke Raphael. Yesterday, the [Super Mechanical Warrior Drawing] was auctioned off in the Port of Catalon...

is now concealed with the fog of war, squatting here, obviously to retaliate.

"Didn't the blueprints be taken away by those in Marfa last night?"

In Sulun’s mind, the soul fragment of the mechanical warrior that was stripped off last night: "Our task is to be the bait..."

I think, it's really possible!

Even if there is a submarine, this is Lu Ying's hinterland. Those people who got the blueprint wanted to highlight the blockade and escape. It's not that it's impossible, but it's also possible to be intercepted.

"So... this is a sly strategy. The commander of Namafa's legionnaire led people to break through as bait to attract firepower. In fact, the drawing didn't leave the Port of Catullante at all last night!"

Su Lun immediately connected all the clues in his mind and restored the general truth of the matter.

Originally he thought that this kind of thing had nothing to do with him, but now it seems that he is implicated.

Moreover, Archduke Raphael’s warship will squat here with such a big fanfare, then it must have mastered some accurate information.

"It looks like, those guys are afraid there is some way to locate the blueprint..."

Su Lun whispered in his heart.

Moreover, he is almost certain now that the guy with the blueprint is now hiding on one of the ships in the fleet!

"It doesn't seem to be very lucky..."

Su Lun feels that if he does not leave Hong Kong, it seems that he will not be implicated.

Is it difficult to moral Rui's prediction wrong?

Coming to the sea, instead of receiving shelter, he encountered danger.

The huge steel ship that Raphael secretly built has never been exposed during camping, which means that anyone who sees this ship may be killed.

But obviously, no!

The crisis does not just stem from this.

Suddenly, Su Lun's feeling of being "remembered" suddenly struck his heart.

This feeling is exactly the same as when he was found by the people of Lei Jiadi when he was found in the old Ling Dun before!

Su Lun immediately had a foreboding in his heart: "Someone is divining me!"

At this time, on the giant ship, a look was also locked.

...

Half an hour ago.

"The Duke of Raphael" battleship, the captain's room.

The huge room illuminated by the exquisite magic crystal chandeliers is bright, and the cabin illuminated by the warm dark yellow light is full of spring.

The cabins are decorated elegantly and luxuriously, showing the noble atmosphere everywhere. On a desk with a huge chart, there is a bottle of expensive wine from Bobodo Winery. There was still a little unfinished scarlet liquid in the two goblets, and a shallow lip print remained on the edge of one of the cups. Scattered on the soft cashmere carpet are some clothing, black dresses, and women's close-fitting clothing. On the mahogany bed with plain white silky sheets, a charming and sturdy middle-aged man is lingering.

Not long after, the light and shadow swaying on the wall slowly stopped, and some heavy gasps came from the cabin...

After a short break, the woman walked out of the bed naked.

She picked up the clothes scattered on the carpet and chairs, and walked in front of the full-length mirror.

Although the charm of the years has been left on a woman's face, the graceful glow of the naked carcass in the mirror is still not inferior to the smoothness of the girl's skin.

The man also got out of the bed and hugged the woman from behind, kneading soft and smooth with his big hands.

The man has a beard and a strong body, but he has a calmness that is not anger or prestige.

This person is no one else, but the hereditary duke of the Raphael family, Vogt Raphael.

"Mrs. Portia, your taste is so pleasant."

Hearing that, the beautiful woman broke free of her greedy big hand, and she wanted to refuse, and said: "Oh, Lord Duke, I am already an old and declining woman. Your praise should be left to those young girls. Woolen cloth..."

Portia is indeed a duchess, but not Raphael’s wife.

Grand Duke Raphael looked at the beautiful woman dressed in front of him, and he did not hesitate to compliment him: "No, madam, you are the perfect lover in my eyes."

This kind of ambiguous relationship is not uncommon in Luying aristocratic circles.

The nobles have a few lovers who are too real, not only the old and young men, but also the ladies and ladies. Even in the upper-level intersection circle, the powerful are proud of their many romantic affairs.

Mrs. Portia didn't mind at all when she heard this, and she gave a sweet smile.

This is a compliment to her.

Grand Duke Raphael asked, "Don't stay a while?"

Madame Portia put on her close-fitting clothes, she was putting her skirt on her ankles to cover up the spring, and she casually replied: "My lord, didn't you say that the drawings will be there in half an hour? We should also go out. ...Although I don’t mind, it’s not so good to be seen by William, after all, he is my son."

When Grand Duke Raphael heard this, he smiled, "Prince William is indeed a talent."

At this time, Mrs. Portia was already dressed, and she was wearing a dazzling diamond necklace in front of the mirror.

Grand Duke Raphael also took over gently and helped her put it on.

The two also chatted without a word.

"The Duke doesn't care about the drawings at all?"

"The drawing material itself has a special mark. Whether it's the sealing space or other hidden means, I can lock the position of the drawing, and I can't lose it. Moreover, the core part of the drawing is the engraving of spiritual power, even for those pirates. In a short period of time, they did not have the ability to replicate. The hateful thing is that they destroyed many important research equipment in the institute, as well as those mechanics..."

"Those pirates are also a little clever, they sold them as soon as they got them. Hehe...It is ridiculous that the royal family guys still want to take advantage of the fire."

"Lu Ying has decayed to the roots, and the battles in the royal family will not stop. The arms dealers only see the benefits of the war, but don't care about other things."

"Huh, a bunch of fat assholes, sooner or later they will ruin the entire empire because of them."

"..."

......

Not long after, Mrs. Portia dressed neatly and came to the deck.

A handsome young man in a white military uniform is on the deck, holding a pile of documents and looking through it carefully.

If Su Lun was here, he would surely find out that these materials contained all kinds of information about him.

Identity in the Cross, photos of bald punk style, interpersonal relationships, trajectories of actions, participation in events, good methods...

Next to the young man, an old man in a palace mage's robe was holding a strand of hair for divination, and suddenly said: "Your Highness, the target has appeared within thirty nautical miles to the southwest. He is walking towards us."

The youth is no one else, but the first heir to the Regardi family, William Regardi!

William nodded respectfully towards the old man: "Thank you very much, Master Marbrit."

After a pause, he looked at him and sneered: "Hehe, I came by myself. This saves us the trouble of finding him."

At this time, Mrs. Portia also came over. She looked at her son and smiled, "William, what are you looking at?"

"Madam!"

Seeing her coming, the old man in the robe and several guards nodded one after another, and then left the deck, avoiding the communication between the two.

William glanced at the woman, as if he had guessed something, and said lazily: "Mother, I said...Even if we want to ally with the Raphael family, you don't need to be so close to them."

Mrs. Portia didn’t mind listening to this tone, “No, it’s not all about an exchange of benefits. Duke Raphael is a very attractive person. Unfortunately, his Princess Teresa had an accident, otherwise you too ..."

William shook his head, obviously not wanting to hear the topic, and interrupted her, "Forget it, it's up to you."

Mrs. Portia took the information in his hand: "Still looking at that guy's information?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, William said coldly: "Hehe, my'Fick' brother never stopped in the process of exile. Actually, many things happened in the mine."

Mrs. Portia turned two pages casually, and said, "Don't worry, the wicked kind left by your romantic father and lover can't threaten your inheritance rights."

She looked at Su Lun’s astonishing record on intelligence, and immediately felt threatened, and her tone changed suddenly: "However, it is indeed time to get rid of it, to avoid future troubles."

William said: "The information obtained from the branch is that the old guy has cracked the treasure map of the [Isaac's Alchemy Manuscript]. My brother Fick should have found Isaac's inheritance and got it. That legendary talent."

Mrs. Portia also raised her eyebrows, and said with disdain: "[S-018-All-Knowing Eyes] is just an S-level talent that is not very useful, far worse than yours. That talent cannot be awakened in the second stage, almost none What about any combat power. This time you have been recognized by the family heritage sacred item, and you will surely be able to advance to Tier 7 in the future. Then there will be family resources, and the highest alchemy field can be expected... No one can threaten you."

After all, it was once the emperor of the Marfa Empire. The Regardi family has mastered too many ancient secrets and treasures, and the background is beyond the imagination of outsiders.

William didn't say anything, but the arrogance on his face also indicated that he recognized his mother's words.

Among my peers, in terms of talent, knowledge, and strength, no one can compare myself!

He has the confidence to look down upon the heroes!

When William thought of something, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said, "Although the guys in the division are stupid, they can be regarded as helping me clear some trouble. But the others are almost killed, but this'Fick' hasn't happened yet. Kill. Even the idiot of Ewen died underground...The intelligence also said that he had joined the mysterious organization of the golden cloak. That high-ranking blood race is very strong, and maybe it will be a big trouble in the future. So, It’s the same to kill Evil as soon as possible."

"However, I think it seems that our family William came here in person not only because of this?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Portia smiled, "I remember that the fourth daughter of Grand Duke Lance is called'Ekaterina', right? Oh, when I saw her five years ago, she was a beauty. , That beautiful purple hair, I remember it clearly now."

As a mother, she naturally knew what her son was thinking, and joked: "I remember, she seems to be William from your classmate when you were at the Royal Academy?"

William did not hide his thoughts, and said directly: "Katyusha is the best girl I have ever seen. Only I can marry her!"

Mrs. Portia passed a joking in her crystal eyes, and then smiled: "So, you are the old guys of the Hate Clan Association. Those old guys plan to find Fick and let that guy marry the Lance family. ?"

"..."

Hearing this, William's eyes flickered.

neither admitted nor denied.

He faintly felt that he shouldn't be stunned by jealousy.

Portia keenly caught the subtle changes in her son's attitude, and said in a serious tone: "No, my son, what you did is right! Only the strong can have everything. You must always remember that we are the royal family. So much kindness, even to anyone!"

When William heard this, he glanced at his mother, his eyes suddenly firmed down. U U Reading

Portia said with a serious face: "If you can get the support of the Lance family and the Raphael family at the same time, the restoration of the country is expected. Now Lu Ying is a big tree with rotten roots. Your father and those tribes The old thoughts are rigid, they also pin their hopes on the decadent Lu Ying royal family, haha...what a stupid decision!"

paused for a moment, she looked at the fog in the distance and warned: "My dear William, work hard to become stronger...Only the strong are worthy of everything!"

William felt as if something had hit deep in his heart, and calmly responded: "I see, my mother."

While they were chatting, they watched a fleet of sails sail into the mist.

At this time, the robe master suddenly appeared on the deck and pointed to a certain ship: "Master, madam, on the deck of the sea ship with the parrot flag, the adventurer in the bald leather jacket is the target!"

...

Su Lun also felt quite speechless, people on the boat, the pot fell from the sky.

When he felt the gaze locked in him, he immediately understood something.

I am very clean in everything I do, almost without a tail.

was remembered, it must belong to the original owner... the Regardi family!
