"There should be no need to think about any declarations for this voyage."

On the deck of the Xiangyang, Yun Mu stood in front of the rudder and looked at the busy crew below.

Although they have experienced some setbacks, they are finally moving forward again.

"Hahaha, you are the captain, of course you have the final say." Breonna chuckled twice, but she had no intention of teasing her anymore.

"But when we set sail, we must at least notify the crew." She said.

As a ghost ship, Xiangyang can sail on the sea without sailors at all. If it sets off suddenly, some crew members may be frightened.

It's okay even if I get scared.
"Ready to go!"

After Yun Mu saw that the crew was almost ready, he shouted loudly.

The next moment, the sails of the Xiangyang automatically dropped, and all the steam cargo ships staying at the port felt sweaty as they quickly sailed away from Shuangluo Port.

"The speed this time feels much faster than before."

The Xiangyang's sails suddenly swelled forward, and the huge acceleration made almost everyone on the ship feel a sudden thrust.

"Of course." Yun Mu nodded matter-of-factly, and then showed off the knowledge he had only recently acquired: "Eliyas, do you know that the moment all ships are launched into the water, they will be blessed by the spiritual being in the water~"

"Because thanks to Mr. Boat, a guy like me who is afraid of water can cross the ocean."

Elias looked at the sailing ship beneath her feet, her expression becoming a little nervous.

"Huhu."

"Please be sure to take Ilyas to the Orc Federation."

"What are you excited about? Are there any sailors who can't sing barcarolles?"

She squatted down solemnly and whispered to the railing in front of her.

However, judging from their looks, it was obvious that they had misunderstood what she meant.

Feeling the joy that came from the contract, like a child being praised, Yun Mu chuckled and said, "The Xiangyang just told me that she will definitely take everyone to the destination."

"No quarreling!" She slammed her hand on the railing of the Xiangyang, and the two quarreling crew members immediately shut their mouths.

"Hooray, did you come towards me instead of retreating?"

Where did this chuunibyou come from? Can it be taken away from my boat?
Yun Mu rubbed his forehead quite speechlessly.

Yun Mu put one hand on the wooden railing and felt the sea breeze blowing in his face.

"Mr. Boat, no, it's Ms. Boat?"

In fact, the reason why Yun Mu said this was entirely because she didn't know a single barcarolle, so she just let the crew decide on their own.

Just when he was about to open his mouth to explain, Breonna on the side suggested at this moment: "How about singing "Wandering in the Free Sea and Sky Here"?"

"Let me show you what real hell is!"

In fact, it wasn't that he didn't know, it was just that he wasn't quite sure what Yun Mu wanted when faced with the captain's words.

"Well" as soon as she finished speaking, she noticed the curious gazes of Yun Mu and Breonna, and her face suddenly turned red.

Yun Mu looked at the crew below the deck and shouted loudly: "Does anyone know how to sing the barcarolle?"

"It seems that I didn't teach you enough lessons last time."

So she quickly explained.

Seeing that the deck was quiet, Yun Mu nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Since you can sing, just pick a suitable song."

"So, so, um, I just thought, since Mr. Chuan has his own consciousness, then I should ask him for it."

"Me, I'm actually a little afraid of water, because the water will wet the feathers, so I can't fly. And I can't swim. Because of my wings, I feel heavy every time I go into the water."

She explained to Yun Mu: "This song has a history of about three hundred years. Almost any sailor knows the lyrics. It's not very difficult. After listening to it once, Miss Yun can probably sing it."

"Hey, yes, is that so?"

"Really?" After hearing her words, Elias stood up immediately.

"I, I, I will, Captain!"

What happened in Foraka Town a few days ago is still in the memory of the crew members. Captain Yunmu's strength is obvious to all, so she said that if no quarrels are allowed, then no one will dare to quarrel.

"Of course it's true. Didn't you see that the Xiangyang's speed has become faster?"

Just pick one.
The crew of the Xiangyang, you look at me, I look at you, you don’t know what is appropriate at this time.

"Hahaha, what are you talking about, you tone-deaf guy?"

"Huh? Who are you saying is tone-deaf and wants to fight?"

"In times like this, you should."

"No." Yun Mu felt the vague joyful emotion in the contract and gently stroked the railings of the Xiangyang: "It's just because the Xiangyang is very happy at the moment."

"It has indeed become a lot faster. Is it because it's a tailwind now?" Brenna held down the sun hat on her head, looking a little confused.

Ilyas's fingers were tangled together in panic. At the end of her words, even she herself didn't know what she was talking about.

But Yun Mu probably understood what she meant.

"Well, will the ship be happy?" Ilyas on the side said with a little surprise while listening to the conversation between the two.

"Then let's take this one." Yun Mu naturally had no objection to this and nodded decisively.

So soon, a song with a cheerful and exciting melody, expressing the courage and homesickness of the seafarers when they set sail, sounded on the deck of the Xiangyang.

"On the rough sea~
Our boat rides the wind and waves~
The captain’s orders are like the spring breeze~
Let our hearts sail smoothly~"

"Wandering on this free sea~
See Aoyang through the storm~
Return anytime and anywhere~
Our hearts go to our hometown~"

“The ship’s stern left a white ripple mark~
It is the footprints of warriors crossing the waves~
Bring some fragrant rum~
Sail into the distance~"

"Wandering on this free sea~
Chasing the waves towards Aoyang~
Return anytime and anywhere~
Our hearts go to our hometown~
Sailing under the night sky is like yarn~
Sixteen stars point to the lighthouse returning home~
Although some waves are rolling~
But the goal of sailing never changes~
Wandering on this free sea~
See Aoyang through the storm~
Return anytime and anywhere~
Our hearts go to our hometown~"

"Hmm~"

"The weather is really nice."

It was November 4243, 11 in the Herar calendar, and the weather was fine. Yun Mu woke up from the captain's cabin in the early morning, then opened the wooden door and walked to the deck of the Xiangyang.

"Lucy, are you fishing so early?"

She looked around and soon found the figure sitting on the edge of the deck, holding a fishing rod.

"This body can only move for two hours a day. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later." Lucy said as she skillfully threw the fishhook to the sea.

Because she had to fish for alchemy materials, Lucy did not return to the game panel these days, but remained summoned.

Her body is placed in Yun Mu's captain's cabin. When needed, Lucy will possess her. When the possession time is over, she will control her body and lie back down.

It's a little weird, to be honest.

There is a coffin lying next to his bed, and the person in the coffin will go out for activities for two hours every day, and when the activity time is over, he will lie back down on his own.
One night in the early hours of the morning, Yun Mu woke up and wanted to go to the toilet, but happened to meet Lucy getting up to go fishing.

She almost scared him to death. Since then, she has told him that he must never move around at night.

It would be okay for her to be frightened occasionally, but it would be bad if rumors spread about something ghostly on the ship at night.

That's why Lucy doesn't start fishing until she wakes up.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, the fishing rod in Lucy's hand sank. Almost subconsciously, she suddenly lifted the fishing rod and swung it upward!
"boom!"

A fish monster covered in ice blue and exuding gusts of cold air fell onto the deck of the Xiangyang.

"Finally caught it!"

When Lucy saw the appearance of this fish monster clearly, her eyes suddenly lit up.

She quickly threw the fish monster into the bucket, and then walked towards Breonna's laboratory.

She is going to start refining the materials!

"By the way, Miss Yun, come here too." She thought of something, looked at Yun Mu and said, "I've been studying theory these days, and I'm a little tired of it."

"I will follow the normal process and show you the effects of alchemy."

"Hey, is it true? Great!"

During these days of sailing at sea, Lucy taught Yun Mu and Breonna about alchemy every day.

However, perhaps because alchemy is too difficult to learn, or because she has never experienced it in actual combat, although Yun Mu feels that she is making progress every day, she does not have any corresponding skills on the game panel.

Being able to watch a master alchemist refining items up close should be of great help to them.

Yun Mu thought this, and followed Lucy to the laboratory where Breonna was.

"Dong dong dong, let's come in~"

Because Breonna asked her to knock on the door last time, this time Yun Mu knocked on the laboratory door first, then opened the door and walked in.

"Even if you knock on the door, at least wait until I say it's okay before you come in."

Breonna heard the movement behind her, turned her attention away from the design draft in front of her, and turned to look at Yun Mudao.

"Is this the design drawing of the Princess?" Yun Mu did not discuss the issue of knocking or not knocking with Breonna, but walked directly to her and looked at the drawings on the table and asked.

"Well, it's just a draft. There are still many problems that have not been solved." Breonna didn't have any thoughts to hide, and said directly: "The last condition for becoming a master is to independently complete a fourth-level mechanical creation."

"Princess is the master-level strategic mecha I want to make. But as you have seen before, she is only a semi-finished product and there is still a long way to go before promotion."

"How about trying alchemy?" Lucy walked up to the two of them at this time. She gently tapped the area marked by Breonna with a red mark with her fingers and said, "It's just that the performance of the materials here can't keep up. , if the material of this transmission shaft is replaced with blue iron, it will not only solve the problem of insufficient strength, but also greatly improve the overall performance of the mecha."

Is alchemy a direct solution to material problems, bypassing design flaws?
It really is.
"It's really a powerful solution." Brenna was still thinking of the right words, and Yun Mu on the side said directly.

"That's right, it's just as powerful as bricks flying!" Lucy nodded matter-of-factly: "Why bother designing the structure of a problem that can be solved with alchemy?"

"I don't deny the sophistication and creativity of this kind of creation. Well, steam machinery really amazes me, but I think alchemy can be combined with steam technology."

"Rather, I'm curious, why no one has come up with this idea?"

"That." After hearing Lucy's words, Breonna said at this time: "Miss Lucy doesn't know that in fact, in modern times, alchemy has long been in decline."

"Let alone master-level alchemy, there aren't even many expert-level alchemists now."

"Except for the level of extraordinary beings, among scholars, there are subjects that study chemistry and materials science, which are slightly similar to alchemy."

"Alchemy is in decline?" Lucy frowned, looking a little incredulous: "Why?"

"Because of the historical gap." Breonna sighed: "After the destruction of the Scarlet Royal Court, due to the influence of the external gods, almost all records related to the Scarlet Royal Court disappeared."

"At that time, the holy land of alchemists, Asova Rona, was also in the northern continent. After that disaster, all the alchemical knowledge accumulated over thousands of years was destroyed."

"Then there's the dark ages of chaos, witch hunts, black magic, wizards."

"Everything related to magic on this land has been almost destroyed, especially alchemy."

".I see." Lucy was silent for a while, and it was obvious that she was feeling a little uncomfortable at this time.

After all, the Scarlet Incident was ultimately caused by the Vampire Clan, and as the Vampire Clan and the Queen of the Crimson Royal Court, she obviously had something to do with this incident.

"Don't blame yourself too much, it's all Scarlet's fault!" Yun Mu patted her shoulder and decisively passed the blame to Scarlet's outer god.

As for whether the scarlet Pumelas was wrong, the world is complicated. From Pumelas's point of view, he just didn't want to continue floating in the endless void.

But the impact he made was real.

"Although alchemy is in decline, aren't you still here?"

"It is our duty to recast the glory of alchemy. Teacher Lucy, hurry up and start refining!"

"Pfft. Where did you learn these weird words?" Lucy covered her mouth and chuckled, and said seriously: "You are right, immersing yourself in the past has no effect. I have understood this a long time ago."

"In that case, let's start refining."

She lifted the bucket containing the fish monster upwards.

"The first alchemy practice session, uh, no, cough, the first alchemy instruction course is about to start now~"
