Chapter 281: 274, Ancient Magic Warship
Crazy Horse Davis had colluded with the slave trader Chatham and the Golden Goat Pirate Group in order to ambush him on the sea.
Charles saw through the two n’s trickery. During the first sea battle, he fired a blunderbuss at a burly bearded pirate. The pirate leader who died in frustration was one of the top ten generals of the Golden Goat Pirate Group, nicknad Monster Eye!
After Charles killed Monster Eye, it caused a huge uproar within the Golden Goat Pirate Group, with many old pirates swearing to kill him.
At that ti, the Golden Goat Pirate Group was preparing to launch a major attack on Cappadocia. Coincidentally, Jas Cook and Francis Drake had just taken the White Sea Dragon and the Titan Whale to dock in Cappadocia, which made the pirates abandon the idea.
They were pirates, not battlefield madn.
Although the fleet of the Golden Goat had two Transcendent-class warships, no one was inclined to clash to the death with the navy of the Inglima Empire.
Charles was completely unaware of the situation above.
He didn’t know that he had killed one of the top ten generals of the Golden Goat Pirate Group.
Because he had killed Monster Eye with a single shot at that ti…
In fact, Charles didn’t even rember the incident now.
If soone were to ntion he had once killed a certain bearded pirate, Charles’s first response would certainly be, Who is this guy?
Charles waited a long ti at the port before he saw the deep-sea squid coming out with his pirate followers without any reaction upon seeing Charles.
Charles didn’t do anything unnecessary either, like running over to “chat.”
After more than an hour passed, a small black dot finally appeared on the sea surface. Thanks to the Blue Rattlesnake’s special ability “Eagle Eye” provided to him, Charles could see that the small black dot on the sea surface was actually a warship.
Although the distance was still far, Charles was already shocked.
Though the Golden Goat’s fleet had a Magical Alchemy Warship, the flagship was another vessel, the Ancient Magic Warship—the Queen Bee!
The Queen Bee was touted as the fastest ship among the Seven Seas.
No one knew how it had been built, nor did anyone know who had built it.
The Queen Bee had been guarding the Kingdom of Saint Michael ever since its inception.
Charles was also very curious about this legendary warship.
Across the Seven Seas, there are a total of twelve Legendary Warships.
Ships like the White Sea Dragon and the Titan Whale, which are magical alchemy warships, do not make the list.
The design of the Queen Bee was not at all like a product of this dieval era. Its hull was slender, at least three hundred sails long, and its bow rose high with the head of an ancient female demon mounted on it.
Well, not a sculpture—it’s the kind of head that was chopped from the neck of an ancient female demon.
It was said that this ancient female demon, nad Dumusha, could turn everything she saw into water streams when she opened her eyes. Transcendents might be able to resist a bit, but ordinary warships that were in sight of Dumusha’s head, which hung from the bow of the Queen Bee, would imdiately turn into water streams, rging with the vast ocean.
This was also the Queen Bee’s ultimate weapon! It was also the guarantee of the Queen Bee’s dominance over the Seven Seas.
The hull of the Queen Bee was painted with countless transparent bees’ wings, which was a magic array that had been lost to ti. It allowed the ship to sail against the wind and waves at a speed that dominated the Seven Seas. It was said that in ancient tis, so people had mastered the true thod of controlling the Queen Bee, enabling it to travel to another world.
Each wing on the hull was also a gunport, allowing one to look around from inside the ship, but from the outside, one could not see within.
Charles had heard of the Queen Bee before and had even seen so literature about the Queen Bee at the university. Arriving at St. Michael Island, it seed that everyone was raving about this flagship of the Golden Goat. But seeing it for the first ti, he was still a bit awestruck.
Charles thought to himself, “If senior could get the Queen Bee, she really could dominate the Seven Seas and beco a major force on the ocean…”
“Hmm, I think the Queen Bee suits better.”
Charles was truly grateful to nilman for her promotion and did have feelings for this senior that were limited to clinging to her coattails. When with Krel and Ebner, Charles tried his best to blend in, but he really wasn’t a true bootlicker like Krel Brittany and Ebner Sui.
If he had the chance to take the Queen Bee, he would certainly keep it for himself.
He would never give it up to nilman.
That would be a sin!
The speed of the Queen Bee was indeed very fast. It appeared above the sea surface and within a few hours, it was already in the waters around St. Michael Island, slowing its pace and gradually approaching the shore.
A tall, imposing man with a strong presence slowly levitated into the air. He had three golden rings on his hand, but they were definitely not ordinary gold, for they emitted a strange glow, extrely dazzling and eye-catching.
This man was the leader of the Golden Goat Pirate Group, Golden Ram Herolf, a Sacred Order Transcendent.
The deep-sea squid imdiately took everyone to greet him. Herolf did not linger at the harbor but went straight to his palace.
The deep-sea squid followed him, but left Charles behind to welco the pirates who would return later.
A few more hours passed before a fleet appeared on the sea.
This fleet consisted of ordinary rchant ships, or warships converted from rchant ships, just like the fleet Charles had in Cappadocia City.
By the ti this fleet docked, it was already evening. Countless pirates disembarked, swarming into St. Michael Island, while the wealth and slaves plundered from the ships were Charles’s responsibility to unload and deliver to different people.
The largest share, naturally, went to the owner of St. Michael Island, Golden Ram Herolf, followed by the five deputy leaders and then the ten captains, and only after that was it distributed to the lower and middle tiers of pirates based on their contribution to the raid.
Piracy is a profession without a salary, with inco entirely based on plundering.
Therefore, the pirates who could go out to sea and stage a large raid were generally wealthy, and the leaders were even wealthier, with Herolf being rich enough to rival nations. On the other hand, the pirates who couldn’t go to sea were quite impoverished, barely getting by with nial work, only slightly better off than slaves.
Moving wealth for others was a hard and thankless job.
Charles led his n and worked all through the night, finally managing to deliver the goods to the pirates’ dwellings.
As dawn just started to break, Charles returned to the harbor. Gazing at the Queen Bee, he felt an intense longing.
n love cars.
Why don’t they like ships? It’s because they can’t afford them.
Why don’t they like spaceships? It’s because Earth’s technology cannot produce them.
If Charles had money, he would buy a second-hand carriage.
Now, with an Ancient Magic Warship right before his eyes, he experienced a sense of “This thing will eventually be mine” – a tiny, determined notion.
