Chapter 76 The Merman's Sword Shark

  How much does a boat cost? Well, in this world, generally speaking, the price of a fishing boat is between ten thorn flower gold coins and thirty thorn flower gold coins... The thorn flower gold coins are imperial gold coins, and the gold coins have the pattern of thorn flower printed on them.

  That is the national flower of the empire, the same... the principality gold coin is the violet gold coin, and the violet is the national flower of the principality.

  Of course, sailors also need to spend gold coins. It is impossible to expect slaves or serfs to be sailors, so hiring experienced sailors and fishermen requires a lot of money.

   And it's an ongoing cost...in the Empire, of course.

  Vessels powered by wind are the mainstream in this world. Although they also have oars and the like, they are only for emergency use. The most important source of power is sea wind.

   Or the continuous strong wind created by the mages, but that is naturally not a means worth using on fishing boats, and only warships have the profession of [on-board magician].

  However, although the ship I'm on now has a mast, it doesn't seem to be ready to hang sails. So... what kind of power source is this trial voyage going to show?

  Ira still knows a lot about the battlefield on the ground, but he doesn't know much about the battlefield on the sea. After all, he has never participated in the battlefield at sea.

  Never thought of going to know about it...because the empire didn't lose too much on the sea battlefield.

  Maybe this has something to do with the huge loss of Kraken.

   "His Royal Highness, Lord Sirina."

The merman leader with a shell clip on his head and meat membranes on his armpits and palms greeted him like this, of course... he was greeting Satan Ye and Xilina. Like other siren leaders, she selectively ignored Yi pull.

   Of course, Ira didn't care at all.

   "..."

Yila looked at the thick dark circles on the face of the merman leader, knowing that they were busy last night, he also selectively ignored their hostility, and said: "If you are still very tired, after the trial voyage, please to have a good rest."

   "Hmm...thanks..."

  The merman leader said so, she hesitated for a while before reluctantly thanking, then turned her head in embarrassment, and signaled loudly: "Check the condition of the sword shark, check the condition of the sails, and take their positions!"

  After shouting loudly like this, the Naga leader next to him, who was still having a fight with Ira, immediately repeated loudly: "Check the condition of the sword shark, check the condition of the sails, and take their positions!"

   From this point of view, at least on the ship, the leader of the mermen is in the same position as the captain.

  During the voyage, in order to avoid the mistransmission of orders and the misinterpretation of the sailors, after the captain issued the order, the first officer should repeat it again loudly, usually speaking louder than the captain's order.

   "Swordfish?"

Ira was a little puzzled. He watched the sail being pulled out quickly... The sail in this world is very convenient to use. A rope can be pulled all the way to unfold the sail, and it can be tied to the mast to keep the sail. will put away.

  Rotating the angle of the sail is also a fool's operation. If you want to describe it...it feels as simple as a young pioneer raising and lowering the national flag.

   But what is a sword shark?

   "The sword shark is the companion of the sharks... Eh!"

   Halfway through Satan Ye’s explanation, the inexplicably powered ship left the port instantly, which made Satan Ye almost lose his center of gravity unexpectedly... The speed of the ship is actually not fast.

   Not to mention the ship of the empire, it can't even reach the speed of many soldiers, but after all, it's just a fishing boat, and it should have a good advantage in other places.

  Ira thought this way, standing by the boat, he no longer needed any explanation from Satan Ye, he had already seen those swordfish-like fish with reins tied to their bodies, galloping in the water.

  Those reins are leather utensils one by one. The tough leather is connected to the hull of the ship. Those [Swordfish] can drive the boat to move as long as they put their long noses into the leather utensils.

   is a very flexible structure, and it seems to be able to drive and gather fish.

  However, the main source of power is still the sail, and the main device for controlling the direction is still the rudder. The existence of these [Swordfish] is just an extra means of attack and an extra source of power.

   Something like...missiles?

  Standing on the edge of the ship, under the fearful and curious eyes of the Siren crew members around, Ira thought so, feeling the blowing of the sea breeze that seemed to have not been felt for a long, long time.

   "The sword shark is our companion beast, just like 【Shield Shell】."

The merman leader pointed to the small shell that she was using like a hairpin and said so. She deliberately didn't look in the direction of Iraq, but looked at the farther and farther port, and explained: "Wearing iron armor or even It is a sword shark with magic clothes, and it will be the strongest weapon in the sea."

   These words confirmed Ira's guess... Jiansha is not only a "turbo", but also a "missile", and even a sonar-guided torpedo, but the title of "strongest" is probably just boasting.

   And it’s not allowed to boast, it’s just the kind of boasting of the modal particles.

   And the next thing is to demonstrate fishing. Ira doesn't need to guide or watch it, because... all his understanding of fishing is limited to the TV he watched in the previous world.

Therefore, professional things should be done by professional people. Even if Ira may have been exposed to many more advanced methods in previous TV shows, but if she wants to reproduce them in this world, it will take countless attempts and cooperation. correct.

   Even Iraq can only provide one direction, and there will be no breakthrough progress.

  In that case, Iraq just needs to be [barely enough] to maintain the status quo, just like the infrastructure of the empire. After all... there is no need to waste so much time.

  [Sword Shark] is an unexpected icing on the cake, but for Iraq's strategy, it is also an unexpected solution to the urgent need. After all, if this is the case, perhaps there will be fewer troops on the trading ship.

   After all, the Demon Lord leader is short of people.

  In the strategic plan conceived by Iraq, ship trade is also very important. After all, history has proved that land trade is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive trade method. After all, the roads in this world are really bad.

  Although it may be better for the Demon King’s Territory, it can only be traded mainly by sea (multiple point-to-point) and supplemented by land trade (one long-term).

   But in this way, the vital force will be separated without a doubt, and this is very dangerous for the security of the Demon King's Territory, and the appearance of [Swordfish] gave Ira a little more confidence.

  The same manpower, so at least the guaranteed route is safer.

  Ira thought so, he stretched out his hand and touched the scallop pinned to the head of the merman leader, what he felt was as warm as a pearl, and then he nodded when the scallop felt something open and closed.

   "I understand. When the time comes, I will ask you for your opinions on the construction of the magic outfit."

   As the vigilant merman leader took a step back, Ira said so.

   "..."

   Merman leader: "Huh?!"

  Scallops (percussion): "Papa~(happy~
