Chapter 17 - 17. Arrival at Destination

The first rays of dawn in the morning shone on the deck.

Arka's room was arranged on the left side of the poop, and the sunlight penetrated into the room through the window.

Woke up to the sound of the bell.

After getting dressed, he came to the deck.

"Everything is ready, we'll be there soon."

Hearing this, Arka leaned against the side of the boat, stuck his head out, and looked forward.

Many ships can be seen around, big and small.

However, due to the white fog on the sea in the early morning, it is not very clear.

A vague outline can be seen in the white fog, which should be the destination.

At this time, the ship suddenly began to stop slowly.

In the vast white fog, a huge object broke out.

A huge warship, which Arka felt was at least 40 meters long, sailed past.

The white waves were split and splashed to both sides, and the splashing water seemed to be about to hit their deck.

This merchant ship was like a child next to the sailing battleship.

Alka was shocked and watched the sailing battleship go away.

The construction of this battleship was obviously different from the merchant ship under his feet.

Abandoning the huge forecastle and poop, it has an extremely beautiful streamlined shape, instead of looking a bit bloated and weird like this merchant ship.

There are three tall and huge masts on the deck, and there is a single-layer gun deck below.

There are evenly distributed gun ports on both sides, which are deliberately opened, as if to show military power.

Before, Hols's baby rock-shaking cannons were exposed one after another.

And it is obviously much larger than Hols's.

The whole battleship was red and gold, with a bloody flag on the mast with a golden coin on it.

Arka had seen this icon on the map.

It was the symbol of the Blood Gold Alliance.

A gold coin on a red background.

Siegert had come to Arka's side without knowing when.

"This is the 'Blood Gold Flower', a level 4 battleship of the Alliance Navy, 43 meters long and 11 meters wide.

It has a single-layer gun deck and is equipped with 34 guns. It's the nightmare of pirates. It looks very cool, right?"

As he spoke, Siegert looked at the battleship with shining eyes.

Listening to the data Siegert revealed, it seemed that he really liked this ship.

"It's really cool."

The "Red Gold Flower" slid past, and behind it was a three-masted sailing warship about the same size as a merchant ship.

There were only a few rock-shaking cannons on the deck.

...There are many large and small ships parked next to the port. Several mighty warships can be seen anchored in a large area not far away.

Siegert patted Alka and asked, "I have to follow Uncle Halls to trade wheat. Do you want to follow him or go for a walk by yourself? This place is relatively safe. Just don't cause trouble."

Hearing this, Alka looked at the seaport city in front of him, and various low buildings spread out.

"I'll go for a walk by myself."

"Okay, we usually rest at the anchor of the white sailboat. Remember to come to us when the time comes. Just walk around the city. Don't go out, okay?"

"No problem, don't worry."

"Also, don't spend a lot of money on the island. You may be ripped off. Let's go together tomorrow after I'm done."

"Okay, I'll go first."

After that, Alka left the ship and walked through the workers towards the seaport city not far away.

It is already morning, and residents and merchants are moving around the city.

The sea breeze blows from the harbor from time to time.

"The freshly caught fish is still fresh."

"How do I get to the Governor's Mansion?"

"Join the army, join the navy, and defend my homeland."

"Mom, what do you want to eat for lunch today?"

Various voices of shouting and talking rang out.

Alka walked on the main road, looking at the buildings and shops on both sides. The architectural style here is not much different from that of Golden Wheat Island.

Perhaps because of the weather here, most people are wearing this thin linen shirt.

The shops on both sides are all about seafood and various grains, and there are also some taverns.

After walking forward, it is obvious that the style here is much different.

The buildings are taller and more exquisite, and the exterior walls of each building are painted with various colors of paint. The people shouting on the road could hardly be heard. Although it was still noisy, it seemed much quieter.

The people coming and going were dressed much better than those residents at the harbor.

Most of them were cotton clothes.

The surrounding shops became more upscale hotels, clothing stores, some restaurants, bakeries selling bread, etc.

When passing by the bakery, Alka took a look at the upscale bread next to it, all of which were hung with the flour brand from Golden Wheat Island.

But he was not interested in it.

Wandering around for a long time, he noticed a lot of interesting shops.

Alka saw the shop he was most interested in, a weapons shop connecting two shops.

[Golden Blade]

There were many men choosing weapons inside.

Alka hurried in.

No service staff came to greet him. Various swords were hung on the counter and the rack behind him.

Two-handed giant swords, scimitars, daggers, and rapiers.

The most common weapons are sailor knives, which are common weapons on ships.

However, none of these weapons are less than one silver snake.

A normal sailor knives is worth about 100 copper swallows, and one silver snake can buy two.

I should have followed Sigt earlier, mainly because he couldn't choose these weapons at all, and didn't know which one was good and which one was bad.

It seems that I can only look today.

After walking around for a while, Alka saw something strange and walked up quickly.

There were short, pistol-like weapons on the counter.

The appearance is more similar to a revolver, and there is also a hammer structure on the back.

"What is this weapon?"

Hearing Alka's question, the salesperson at the counter immediately came up and took out the pistol that Alka was looking at with a smile.

"This is a rock-shocking pistol, a long-range weapon."

Rock-shocking? It seems to be based on the same principle as the rock-shocking cannon used on the ship before.

Gunpowder structure from another world?

"How far is the effective range?" Alka asked casually.

He didn't know this weapon, but he knew the effective range.

But the salesperson still smiled and said, "Sir, the effective range is about 50 meters."

Hearing this range, Alka nodded. He didn't know much about guns, and didn't know how 50 meters would be for this kind of pistol.

But for him, 50 meters is definitely enough.

Compared to various melee weapons, he, who comes from the modern world, prefers this kind of long-range weapon.

"How much is this weapon?"

"It ranges from three silver snakes to eight silver snakes. We don't sell anything more expensive here."

It's so expensive. The cheapest one can be equal to the money a normal skilled worker earns in a year.

Hearing this, Alka looked at the pistols on the counter. They were all revolver-style, but their appearances were different.

The one in the middle had an eight-character label on the bottom.

This should be the most expensive one.

"Sir, would you like to take a look?"

Without waiting for Alka to answer, he took out the pistol in the middle, which was worth eight silver snakes, and put it on the counter.

He introduced himself: "This is the work of Alando Touré, a well-known gunsmith on our island. The effective range can reach 65 meters, and the ammunition used is also the more powerful No. 3 ammunition."

"Only eight silver snakes, this is already a very affordable price for a master craftsman."

No.

How can this person tell that I am someone who can afford so much money?
