The Defeated Dragon

The Sunset is anchored in the dock and is about to sail off into the water.

Lister landed on a landing bird, Rocky, looking at the ship, 65 meters long and 19 meters wide, erecting three giant, thick masts in the sky.

With the collapse of the civilization of the Son of the Sun, it is difficult to imagine how this enormous ship that soars through the sky has become history. By salvaging it in Lester and deciding to transform it into a sailboat at sea, it had said goodbye to the past and moved on to a new future.

“My lord, the present state of the Sunset, judging from what I have, is no longer lost to the Court's fast sailboat. ”

It was Buck Floating Wood, a shipbuilder apprentice.

He comes from a shipyard on Leather Island, the industry of Ramirez White Glutinous Rice, Marquis of Leather Island, which was forced to leave the shipyard for some reason. The Tulip family then invited them to settle on Black Horse Island through the merchants' channel to host the dock.

In total, the Grand Duchy of Sapphire has three families that build double masts, the glutinous rice family, the pineapple family, and the sapphire family. There used to be the Marquis Bull family, who also possessed mast sailing skills, but now the Bull family is long gone.

The sapphire family also has mastery of sailboat construction, which is basically one of the world's finest shipbuilding techniques, strictly confidential and without leakage.

It is impossible for ordinary aristocrats to dig artificial ships from the sapphire family, and even if the shipbuilders are really plundered, the Grand Duke will soon be angry.

So Lester had to ask his father, William Lee, to dig people from the white glutinous rice and pineapple families, and the shipbuilder couldn't dig them, so he dug a shipbuilder apprentice. The shipbuilder apprentice, Buck Floating Wood, is quite skilled and is responsible for conducting the technical development of the double-mast.

Lester is sure to master mast sailing in no time.

Coupled with the bone fixing technique he got from Virginia Truth, and the longitudinal sailing technique he knew, he was sure to make a quality sailboat.

With extensive shipbuilding experience.

Buck Floating Wood also took over the burden of transforming the Sunset from Captain Costo.

After one exploration of new materials and new structures, the entire renovation of the Sunset was finally completed: “I have studied the fast sailing boats of the palace, which have complex tetanium structures, many load-bearing and operational tetanium techniques, to which I have no answer. But the territory's rubber water can replace those tongue structures. ”

The Grand Duke of Sapphire lacks iron.

All vessels are of wood construction and cannot be welded and are manufactured using a tongue structure. These tungsten structures are by no means simple to observe and to understand the rationale. Even dismantling a palace sailboat and putting it in front of Buck's eyes, he couldn't figure it out.

But one of the most important specialties of Black Horse Island plays an important role in shipbuilding technology - rubber water.

Materials bonded with rubber water are stronger than steel rivets, and solidified rubber water is fire resistant, water resistant, strong, demon-resistant and corrosion resistant.

“In the case of the main ganglion, it is still fixed by the tongue structure, but in terms of detail, it can be replaced by rubber water. So the condition of the Sunset will not be worse than that of the Court's fast sailing boat… but it will take time to study to develop the sailing technique of the dhow. ”

Buck was about thirty-five years old and started working at the dock at fifteen years old.

He may not have much talent, but with years of experience, his vision is absolutely fine - the Sunset has reached the distant standard.

“Then let's go! ”

Waiting for the Sunset to replenish its nautical supplies, Lester led a cavalier team and boarded the ship with officials such as Gorte, Blair and Costo.

Wide deck.

It felt a little wider than when he was on the Yam family's fast sailboat. As the sea breeze swept, the sailors immediately, under the command of the first and second lieutenants, anchored, sailed, paddled, sunset broke the waves of the sea surface, slowly drove out of the dock, from green water to blue water.

The boat is very smooth with a table cup on the deck, and Lester can sit under the umbrella and taste the juice of the coconut fruit.

At the top of the mast, a black tulip nose with a windward twist.

“My lord, the Sunset is so magnificent that such a sailboat would never be worse than the Grand Duke's court's fast sailboat.” Gaultai said beautifully with a coconut fruit.

“Very prestigious indeed, but I always felt something was missing.” Lister walked to the bow and said.

Gorte looked at the bow and suddenly realized: “I see, my lord, the Sunset repair is perfect, but the bow image is not installed. A sapphire dragon bow should be installed at the bow of the boat in order to enjoy the glory of a knight on the sea. ”

Sapphire Dragon is the master of this Bibbo Sea, and its bow is naturally popular.

“The bow statue? ”

Lester squinted his eyes and was reluctant to install the Sapphire Dragon Boat Avatar, which should also be installed. But he preferred another bow-mounted tool - the collision angle - to the bow image.

Currently.

The Bibbo Sea has only a Navy of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, sailboats with collision angles, doesn't seem to make any sense, and there is no naval battle - those little boards, or paddle boats, produced by the land kingdoms, don't dare go out to sea at all, and a wave hits them, basically turning them over and dying.

“However..." Lester decided to ask the boat crew to study the angle of collision upon return, "if you can live peacefully with the Sapphire family, the angle of collision will naturally be useless. But if the Sapphire Grand Duke fails me, naval warfare is doomed, and collision may be a strategic advantage. ”

He comes to Costo and Buck, describes something like armor to two people: "When you get back, make sure you study the angle of collision. ”

“Yes, My Lord! ”

……

The wide Sunset will certainly not compare to the speed of a court fast sailboat, which is the speed of a regular double mast. By the time we arrived at the port of Coral City from Port Town, the sun had set in the west. The sun sets on the side of the sky, looking over from the harbor, just like the black tulip flag.

Livius, who came to greet Lester, looked at such a scroll and didn't feel much —— he didn't know what the Sunset meant.

It is a civilization commemorating the lost Son of the Sun - a civilization that has been completely lost since the sinking of this ship of the sky.

“Lester, is this the sunken boat you salvaged from the bottom of the ocean, transformed into a sailboat?” When Levi saw Lester descend from the Sunset, he had to ask, "It does not seem to be a palace sailboat, the hull shape and style are very different from a palace sailboat. ”

“Perhaps it was the wreck of the Magic Goat family a hundred years ago, and basically there was only one hull left, the rest I repaired with rubber water. ”

“But it looks good, not like a wreck. ”

“It is completely polished and replaces many of the decaying materials to refresh.” Lester smiled, "may not be as fast as the palace sailboat, but it should be more powerful than the Tulip. At least it looks a whole turn bigger from the outside. ”

Livius flattened his mouth: “The Tulip has been an old boat for over a decade and should have been replaced… If it hadn't been for the fight against Mary's mother and son, I would have paid for a more comfortable sailboat myself.” He makes a lot of money working with Lester in a lot of industries.

Therefore, the tone of speech is very high.

Thousands or even tens of thousands of gold sailboats, open mouths to buy their own.

Lester, who had long been out competing for family property, was not interested at all. He watched the dock workers carry the Sunset cargo. It was very comforting: “With the Sunset, at least a thousand more serfs can be dragged on each trip... you should buy a boat if you have the money, you can have a boat to do big business! ”

“There are indeed plans at home to continue buying a shipment of cargo vessels, mainly glass from your territory, which is becoming more and more popular. Lester, Loria has calculated that, at the current scale of sales growth, glass alone is enough to support the original Tulip family! ”

Originally the most lucrative industry in the Territory, glass now far surpasses white wine - an exclusive business with little cost.

“Let Loria have a bigger heart, the Grand Duchy of Sapphire is ultimately a remote archipelago with a small population and a small aristocracy. A vast continent is the place to really do business, and when I figure out the glass technology and scale up the output, gold coins are just a bunch of numbers. ”

“Ha ha, you're absolutely right, gold coins will be just a bunch of numbers for us in the future!” Livius imagined a beautiful blueprint, excited abnormally, "Father still hasn't returned to Blue Dragon Island, Grandmother didn't want to see Mrs. Marie, Levera went back to Falcon, Loria is not feeling well... why don't we go straight to Fort Stone? ”

“Do what? ”

“An interesting party.” Reeves smiled obscenely.

Lester shook his head softly: "Brother, how many times have I told you, I don't like this party, just resting at Tulip Chateau overnight, I will return tomorrow morning by boat. ”

“God, you're not like a nobleman. There's noblemen who don't enjoy life! ”
