Magic Industrial Age.

Chapter 56: 55: Pirate Attack (Please read!)

In the secret room, Oliveira fell asleep on the bed. He was still in his armor, holding a sword in his arms. He could hear a slight snoring sound, but he was sleeping soundly.

Maybe he has experienced too many things like today and they no longer cause him to have too much emotional fluctuation.

But Luo Yi opened his eyes wide and couldn't fall asleep.

For him, this 'trip' can be considered an adventure.

He tilted his head slightly and looked out the window. It was a round hole the size of a human head, with transparent glass installed, which did not hinder the view of the surrounding scenery.

However, the outer wall of the glass seemed to have not been wiped for a long time and was covered with a lot of dust, making it look very blurry.

Through his blurry vision, he could see the rippling waves, saw the darkness being driven out by the light, and a red sun suddenly jumped out from the horizon, rendering the world bright.

That kind of beauty, that kind of dazzling brilliance, is fascinating!

As Luo Yi looked at the beautiful scenery on the sea, his mind became calmer and he fell asleep to the sound of waves.

It took about two days and two nights to sail from Fisherman's Harbor to Guano Island. Roy and Oliveira ate, drank, defecated and urinated in this secret room, which made them very bored.

The space was too small to stretch out and practice sword skills, so Oliveira focused on fighting spirit, honing his skills bit by bit, pushing himself to the limit of the third level.

Luo Yi is growing, and Oliveira has also not stopped improving. He was originally a third-order LV14 extraordinary swift swordsman.

I can’t say that I have learned a lot from spending time with Luo Yi during this period, but my thinking has been broadened a lot.

Then, before the Divine Grace Festival, he took another step forward and reached the limit of the third stage, LV15.

At this level, if you want to break through, it is not enough to work hard, but to develop attribute power from the fighting spirit. What is needed is a complete attribute fighting spirit method and corresponding understanding.

That is by no means something that can be achieved overnight.

Oliveira turned to tempering his body, using his fighting spirit to replenish his body and stretching his body to the limit.

A strong physique can accommodate more fighting spirit and increase the success rate of breaking through the realm.

This is actually the norm. It can be said that Luo Yi's development model, in which his physical body and fighting spirit progress in tandem, and he even has to maximize the three items of [strength, agility, and stamina], is unique.

Luo Yi, on the other hand, did not practice when he had free time, but kept reviewing various books in his mind.

With Shenlan around, it was as if he had imprinted it in his mind, and he began to assess the true level of the world's magic industry.

According to Loewy's understanding of the Industrial Revolution, disruptive inventions are always preceded by theories, and then all branch technologies have reached a certain level before they explode.

This is more in line with the laws of development of things!
But there is magic in this world, there are all kinds of strange magical materials, and even blacksmiths have secret methods to increase the temperature of the fire.

It is also these that make something beyond the times appear.

For example, the magic ironclad ship, in terms of defense, speed, and magic cannons, is actually far superior to ordinary warships.

It's a pity that although such high-end products exist, they are difficult to manufacture and cannot be mass-produced. At the same time, their operation and maintenance require a sufficient number of students majoring in magic machinery.

This is also the reason why the Habsburg Empire vigorously develops magic academies. In fact, talent has become the biggest limitation to the development of the magic industry.

If we look at it from this perspective, the ability for large-scale industrialization has not yet truly evolved.

For Luo Yi, this is also an opportunity!
My thoughts flew far away, and in the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

In the past two days, Roy and Oliveira have not left the secret room, but it can't be said that they have been idle.

The reason is simple. They watched two good shows in the secret room through the mirror.

First, he was the older brother of the two detectives, and he obviously had extra ideas about the one thousand gold tir.

He sneaked into the captain's room and prepared to steal.

However, he didn't know that all this was seen by Roy and Oliveira, and they did not take any action.

But Maruna Marquez, who arrived in time, discovered his whereabouts. In the end, the great detective could only awkwardly explain that he came to find Maruna.

Since Maruna was not there, he waited here for a while.

Luo Yi felt embarrassed for him when he saw such a lame excuse, but Maruna did not pursue it too much.

He cares more about his children than Gentile.

The second time, a group of people broke into the captain's room and made so much noise that they almost turned the room over.

The reason is simple. Sailing on the sea has its own rules and it is not allowed to bring women.

But there is a female warrior in the Bauhinia Mercenary Group. She is tall, agile, has a fierce personality, and is very good at sword and shield skills.

At the beginning, it was the sailors who flirted with the female soldier by whistling and talking nonsense, but they were scolded by the female soldier instead.

These sailors are all strong and can lift swords, but they are nothing compared to professional soldiers.

Originally, the matter would have ended there, but the younger brother of the twin detectives passed by and made a few sarcastic remarks, saying something like women should stay at home to give birth to children.

As a result, the Bauhinia Mercenaries and the twin detectives started fighting. Neither side was ruthless, but after a little competition, the twin detectives knew they were no match. So the matter was brought to Maruna Marquez again, and the argument got heated in the captain's cabin.

Roy and Oliveira watched another good show and began to understand why Maruna had to ask them to take action.

Although these two groups seem to be hostile, in fact, neither of them takes Maruna seriously.

In the end, it was Maruna who finally appeased both parties by increasing the commission by 30%.

Until finally, when everyone had left, Maruna lay in his chair, looked up, and gave a wry smile to the mirror embedded in the ceiling.

A day later, the ship finally arrived at the destination. From afar, a lush island could be seen at the end of the field of vision.

Guano Island, as the name suggests, is an island filled with guano.

This small island is not far from the coastline and is often a place where seabirds rest when the seasons change and they migrate.

Because there were too many seabirds, the bird droppings they excreted dried and piled up countless times, so that the entire island was filled with bird droppings.

So, it has a very appropriate name, Guano Island!
In fact, even pirates were reluctant to approach this smelly island, let alone merchant ships and warships.

This time, the Bloody Mary Pirates chose this place as the exchange location, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

However, this was the decision of the sea beast trainer Gis, and they had no right to refute it.

As we were getting closer to Guano Island, we heard the shouts of sailors, as if they were cheering when we arrived at our destination.

Roy and Oliveira also began to make preparations, sorting out their leather armor, checking and maintaining their weapons, eating some dry food, drinking some water, and closing their eyes to concentrate.

As a result, their condition became better and better, and they became more and more energetic.

But at this moment, a scream was heard, carrying unspeakable fear, spreading throughout the ship.

"what happened?"

Luo Yi clenched his sword nervously, while Oliveira was very calm and said, "I'm afraid it's the Bloody Mary Pirates. They never thought of letting us go to the island."

"What do you mean?"

"Where are you looking?"

Luo Yi looked through the window, but because of the angle, he couldn't see clearly.

But there is no doubt that just as the Percinus was about to dock, another warship came out from the back of the island.

It was a blood-red pirate ship, at least twice the size of the Percynas, with three masts that could be adjusted in a variety of ways.

On the bow of the ship is a statue of the goddess of the sea, but her arms are raised high like fists.

This is the symbol of pirates, and when needed, it can also be transformed into a charging iron fist.

Of course, it is really useless against Maruna’s small boat, as the size difference between the two is too great.

The flag flying on the bow was a bloody skull and crossbones flag with two crossed bones, as if symbolizing death and the end.

This is the Bloody Mary, which has become a huge pirate ship on the Silver Sea that strikes fear into the hearts of countless sailors.

The appearance of the Bloody Mary was accompanied by the howling of countless people, filled with excitement and desire to kill.

The Percinus wanted to escape, but that was not Maruna's order, but the sailors on the ship acted on instinct.

But the Bloody Mary suddenly accelerated, as if something was pushing it, and crashed directly into the Percyonus.

boom!
There was a shaking of the heavens and the earth, and the two ships collided with each other. Countless hooks were thrown out and directly hooked the edge of the Percyonus.

As a result, countless pirates descended from the sky pulling ropes, occupied high ground, holding weapons, and looking at them eagerly.

Among them, there are actually handheld magic guns. Although it is the oldest reloaded version, it must be able to be activated.

There's actually a magic gunner among these pirates? !

When the pirates boarded the ship, the sailors huddled together, trembling in fear. However, the mercenaries and detectives hired by Maruna performed at their expected level.

They formed a defensive formation, protecting Maruna in the middle, holding their weapons high, each aiming at the enemy, and were quite calm.

Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Maruna immediately stood up and said, "Wait, wait!"

He first held down the longbow of the leader of the Bauhinia Mercenary Group, shook his head slightly, and then walked out of the guard circle alone.

He shouted loudly: "I am here to redeem people. I have brought Gentile with me. If Captain Keith wants to kill us all, who will dare to do business with you in the future?"

His voice was as loud as it could be, even a little cracked, but his shouting was effective.

Then, a loud voice sounded: "What you said makes sense! But, where is the money?"
