Chapter 605: The Winged Seagull

Not long after, Lin Fan, led by Ling Yun, arrived at the edge of the Ao Island harbor.

Compared to the bustling port, this is a remote corner with sparsely populated areas. There is only a simple and old courtyard located near the seaside. There is a tattered fishing net drying on a wooden frame outside the courtyard, and a The smoked and dried salted fish exudes a faint smell of sea in the air.

It seems that this is where Ling Yun usually lives, which is really a bit down and out.

And on the sea far away from the coast, there is a sailboat dozens of meters long moored.

After Ling Yun opened the courtyard door, a short and fat figure walked out from the house, wearing a large cloak and staggering forward.

"Guru..."

A dull voice came from under the cloak.

"Well, I'm back." Ling Yun nodded and chatted with the figure. He pointed at Lin Fan as he spoke, "I also brought back a guest. You should still remember him."

The short and fat figure looked at Lin Fan and said: "Gulu, Gulu!"

Lin Fan smiled slightly and said hello to the creature that seemed to be Lingyun's battle pet. At the same time, he was also curious whether Gulu was the mysterious beast recorded in "Cloud Atlas". At least judging from the appearance, Lin Fan was in "Cloud Atlas" There is no information about mysterious beasts with similar appearance.

However, this kind of thing might be related to Ling Yun's secret, so Lin Fan suppressed the doubts in his heart and didn't ask any more questions.

Inside the room, the light is dim.

After Lin Fan and his party walked in.

At a table in the living room, Ling Yun asked Gulu to pour two cups of hot tea for himself and Lin Fan. He could see that Lin Fan really wanted to go to the Star City of Science and Technology as soon as possible, so he patiently started making arrangements for going to sea.

"It is now 9 o'clock in the morning. We will recruit crew members and prepare supplies in the morning. If we are ready, we can set off from the Ao Island harbor in the afternoon."

As he spoke, Ling Yun wrote a form and handed it to Lin Fan, then said.

"These supplies are necessary for a long sea voyage. I will trouble you to buy the supplies later, and I will recruit some suitable crew members."

Lin Fan took the form and did not look at the list listed on it. Instead, he looked at Ling Yun's handsome face. After thinking about it, he finally asked the question he had been wondering about for a long time.

Lin Fan asked: "Well, where is your ship?"

Ling Yun pointed out the window: "Well, that ship is the Draped-Wing Seagull..."

"Eh?"

Lin Fan was stunned.

……

In the following time, Ling Yun generously took Lin Fan out of the courtyard and landed on his ship to visit.

On the sea in the distance, the ship is about 30 meters long. The whole body is made of some kind of silver-black wood. At the bow of the ship stands a statue of a flying seagull. On the small deck, There are three masts more than ten meters high, with rolled sails hanging on them.

On the open-air platform below the bridge, there is a simple rudder.

Overall, this ship seems to have gone through a long period of ups and downs, exuding an old and simple atmosphere.

however,
There is a huge gap between such a ship and the ships driven by navigators in Lin Fan's impression.

Lin Fan stood on the deck and instantly lost his composure.

so special,
It turned out to be a wooden sailboat? !
Brother, what time is it now? If you don’t fly a high-tech advanced ship like a spaceship, I’ll tolerate it, but you must at least get a steel battleship, right?Moreover, I don’t expect nuclear propulsion, but at least a steam boiler is not too much, right?What happens when you hang up a sail...

I'm not deliberately looking for trouble. Can this thing really go to sea?

and also,

[Horizontal Seagull]

This name sounds unlucky.

They are all so droopy.

Not afraid of falling and falling to death...

Suddenly, Lin Fan felt like he was on a pirate ship. He was full of jokes but didn't know where to start. His forehead was covered with black lines and he looked at Ling Yun.

Ling Yun seemed to be quite satisfied with this ship. After all, he bought it from the second-hand black market at a loss. Seeing Lin Fan's questioning look, Ling Yun didn't take it seriously and said, "Don't underestimate it. The Winged Seagull is a big ship." This elite-quality ship may not look like a sailboat, but the material used to build it is the black and silver nanmu that grows in the secret realm of the Pearl River Delta, and the properties of the hull are no worse than those of steel ships."

Ling Yun continued: "Also, in the hands of the Navigator Knight, the speed of this ship can reach 60 knots per hour."

Ling Yun added: "The most important thing is that the Winged Seagull has a star array engraved on it, which is enough to withstand the attack of the storm."

say so,
Lin Fan still retained his skeptical attitude.

Lin Fan: "But, it is a sailboat..."

Ling Yun: "...:
sailboat.

It's really a bit heartbreaking, old man...

However, Lin Fan also knows that there are no other navigator knights available in the entire Ao Island seaport. Even the sailboat can only ride on it. As long as the ship does not sink halfway and can successfully reach the Science and Technology Star City, everything else is fine. Ignored for now.

After leaving the Dying Seagull, Ling Yun went to the harbor of Ao Island to recruit new crew members.

At the same time, Lin Fan took the time to go to the harbor to purchase supplies needed for the voyage.

According to the list of supplies listed by Ling Yun, this voyage requires the purchase of a large amount of resources, especially fresh water and canned food. Of course, materials needed to repair the ship and some necessary daily necessities are also indispensable.

Overall calculation, Lin Fan would have spent a huge sum of 10,000+ for this supply alone.

Lin Fan looked at the balance on his bank card, thought about it, gritted his teeth and walked into a supermarket on the street.

"Young man, are you ready to go overseas? The things I have here are of high quality and low price. I guarantee your satisfaction." The owner of the supermarket is a woman in her 30s. She is scrolling short videos on the counter. When she sees customers coming to the door, she has a smile on her face. Smile kindly.

"Sister, boss lady, I'm here to sell something."

Lin Fan stepped forward, without saying too much, and directly took out some of his remaining resources from Xiao Tianhu's space pocket. Most of them contained some level 3 and 4 soul beads and a few that he no longer needed to strengthen. Material.

The supermarket owner looked surprised when he saw a boy who looked like a student taking out so many resources.

be nice,

Are you selling all the level 4 soul beads?

What kind of knight is this child?

However, the boss didn't ask any more questions. He carefully counted the resources and finally accepted them all and paid more than 30 yuan.

Lin Fan took the money and began to raid nearby shopping malls.

until noon,

Lin Fan rented a cart, dragged a cart full of supplies, and headed towards Ling Yun's Draped-Wing Seagull.

……

at the same time.

Ling Yun also came to a busy area where people came and went, set up a stall at the door of the bar, and began to hire suitable crew members.

In fact, under normal circumstances, when navigators go to sea, they will not recruit crew members in the neighborhoods. Instead, they will go to the central area of ​​​​Ao Island Harbor, where a towering building stands——

Nautical Association Triangle Building.

After all, recruiting through official government intermediaries will undoubtedly provide more legal guarantees and avoid a series of unnecessary troubles.

But the problem is that Ling Yun's origin is mysterious. He is not a legal citizen with an ID card from the Great Xia Dynasty. He is a blackmailer. In addition, there are wanted cases on him. Therefore, Ling Yun does not dare to deal with the government at all. What if? If your identity is exposed, you will definitely be a tea drinker in the bureau, and you may even become a guinea pig in the special department.

Therefore, Ling Yun could only sneak into the neighborhood to recruit crew members.

And when Ling Yun put up the recruitment sign, it didn't take long before it attracted the attention of many adventurer knights.

Among the crowd of onlookers, a man spoke with a strong Jin accent and said: "Hey, isn't it Ling Yun? This guy is recruiting crew members, isn't he planning to go to sea?"

Next to him, a knight in holy clothes nodded and said: "The sun is really coming out in the west, and this guy is going to go to sea..."

"I heard someone say that Lingyun went to sea once some time ago, but he came back in disgrace before sailing thirty nautical miles."

"Damn it, I don't dare to go. I heard that his ship is older than my grandma, and it might fall apart one day."

"Uh... look at this recruitment fee. Are you sending beggars away?"

"Destination, Technology Star City?!"

"Only fools go to places like that..."

It can be seen that Lingyun is also quite famous in the Ao Island Harbor, but his reputation is not very good.

Listening to the talking and pointing around, Ling Yun's handsome face was calm as usual, wearing a wide top hat on his head, sitting leisurely on a stool, quite like sitting firmly on a fishing platform, willing to take the bait, the clouds are calm and the wind is gentle,

However, those knights who were navigators and adventurers basically came from strong winds and waves. They were used to seeing the big world, and they were all very shrewd. After waiting for a long time, no one applied for the job.

As time went by, the spectators gradually left.

till the end,
Ling Yun was left alone there.

At this time, Ling Yun was also a little uneasy, wondering whether he should receive less kickbacks and slightly increase his employment salary.

"Do you want……"

The voice in Ling Yun's mouth suddenly solidified.

The handsome face slowly lifted up, and a pair of starry eyes looked into the distance of the street.

not far away,
A tall figure stepped forward.

The figure was wearing a gorgeous snow-white robe, as white as jade, as elegant and quiet as an elf. The entire face was covered by a white hood, making it impossible to see the true face clearly.

Strands of long blue hair hung down from the hood.

As the white figure approached, the air around him became colder.

"This guy is so cold..."

Ling Yun couldn't help but shudder, adjusted his hat, and stood up.

"I knew you would come."

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Ling Yun's mouth and he spoke.

"Hand over your things and follow me back to the deserted ice plains."

Under the white hood, a calm and magnetic voice sounded.

Ling Yun held the edge of his hat and sighed helplessly: "It's really hard for you to chase you from the desolate ice field all the way here. However, according to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, you have no objective evidence and are not qualified to exercise the power to arrest Let me...well...you can go to the police, but again, if you don't have evidence, neither the police nor the Military Security Bureau will accept it..."

The white figure: "..."
