Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 231 The first water test of the new ship

Odysseus did a quick calculation and found that Bowen's bounty was 1200 pounds, the bounties on the two deputy captains totaled 1500 pounds, and the bounties on the other two wanted criminals totaled 700 pounds.

Therefore, the total bounty collected tonight is 3400 pounds. If we only get 3060% of it, we can get about 1530 pounds in the end, and each person can get pounds.

This made Odysseus sigh: No wonder so many people yearn for the sea, it really contains endless wealth!

But the prerequisite is to have strength, be smart enough, and be patient.

Just like now, although Odysseus got 1530 pounds at once, he knew very well that such an opportunity would not come every day.

Never take action unless you are sure. If you lose your life, no matter how much money you make, it will be useless.

What requires patience is that even though you know that there seems to be wealth everywhere in front of you, you cannot be too greedy and lose your mind.

It was getting late, so Odysseus told Bazel to stay in Bayam and continue to be a bounty hunter, but he had to come to the "Wizard Office" frequently so that he could be notified immediately if there was any new situation.

Bazel asked: "Captain, do you need me to recruit sailors in advance?"

"No need." Odysseus smiled and said, "I have already recruited sailors, gunners, combat team members, and so on.

"I have a first mate now. Now I only need a second mate, a third mate, and a navigator."

It doesn't matter if there is no third mate, but the second mate and navigator are indispensable.

Bazel nodded: "Okay."

Then he said, "Is Taylor here to attack me tonight?"

"That's right." Odysseus said, "People this cruel usually have some psychological problems.

"He probably hopes to kill the Avengers himself."

Basel breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he did not try to show off and found the right helper.

If it weren't for Captain Gal's help, ordinary adventurers or bounty hunters would not be Taylor's match.

After Balzer left, Odysseus immediately used the "Travel Ring" to return to Lasha Island.

I was supposed to perform as soon as possible today, but I didn't expect to encounter something like this.

However, he also gained a lot. Although he didn't get the bounty, he would definitely get it this week.

The most important thing is to find a reliable first mate.

To Odysseus, this is more important than bounty, extraordinary characteristics, or anything else.

Lying on the bed, Odysseus once again began to think seriously about his pirate group. This small pirate group was not suitable for large-scale naval battles, but was very suitable for treasure hunting, exploration, sneak attacks and other operations.

The reason for this policy is that Odysseus also has far-reaching considerations. He hopes to create an opportunity to contact "Vice Admiral Iceberg" and gradually contact the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom.

After getting the help of the Goddess of Night, Odysseus's mind was instantly opened. Since the "God of Steam and Machinery" and the "Hidden Sage" were both thinking about him, he could use the power of other gods and the church to fight against them.

The first choice is of course the Church of the Evernight Goddess. He can find a way to become a follower of the Evernight Goddess in a proper manner. But the problem is that Odysseus does not have the ability of the "Faceless Man" and has not dared to return to Loen recently.

The Church of the Evernight Goddess does not have much influence at sea, so the God's favored ones are of little use here.

So Odysseus thought of the second option: the god of knowledge and wisdom.

Although this god seems to have little presence, he plays a "good hand" and always makes the right choice at the right time.

This was something that reassured Odysseus, as he wasn't afraid of all the hard work he put into establishing relationships, only to have the church disbanded!

If you show goodwill to the Church of the God of War at this time, you will easily encounter such a thing, which is similar to the operation of "joining the National Army in 49".

However, he was able to be recruited by the Church of the Evernight Goddess.

As he was thinking, Odysseus fell asleep.

The next morning, Odysseus arrived at the dock early to set up the first large-scale magic circle today.

He took the scholars aboard a large ship that had only a shell and only the bottom floor completed.

During his recent studies, Odysseus selected twelve scholars to be his assistants.

In addition, there are more than a dozen extraordinary people from the "Mysterious Peepers" path who serve as assistants to the assistants, doing some simple carving tasks or helping to process spiritual materials.

It can be said that Bernadette used all her knowledge and talent reserves to build this big ship.

She also attended the event in person and watched it for a whole afternoon.

The first step of the magic circle is carving. Odysseus is in front, drawing the magic circle with a huge soft brush. Then the scholars are divided into three groups and use the method provided by Odysseus to carve inside the hull.

This process doesn't require much technical skills, just work hard.

Bernadette also had a lot of things to deal with, so she didn't come again in the afternoon.

After completing the carving work, we began to fill the carved magic circle with spiritual materials.

This requires the knowledge learned previously, because which symbol is filled with spiritual material first and which one is filled later must follow a certain order.

The procedure was completed the next morning, with the final step being the installation of the extraordinary material.

In order to make the operation of the magic circle more stable, Odysseus used three "deep-sea jellyfish" crystals during the design process.

This is one of the main materials for the "Sailor" pathway sequence 7 "Navigator", which can better stabilize and control ocean currents.

After the magic circle was completely arranged, the scaffolding outside the ship was almost dismantled. Since it was the first time to arrange the "engine system" magic circle of a sea ship, Odysseus was not sure about it, so he had to pull it out to try it out first.

Although this will affect the construction progress of the large ship, it can give Odysseus's team enough feedback to make the next step of setting up the magic circle smoother.

The audition started at 2pm, and Bernadette was present once again.

Odysseus accompanied her on a small boat and watched as a large sea ship without sails and no space reserved for a steam engine was towed out of the dock by a steam-powered tugboat.

Several key members of the "Elemental Dawn" were on the same ship with Bernadette.

This was the first time Odysseus met them, and they looked at the new face next to the "Queen" with curiosity.

Alia first introduced Odysseus to everyone, and then introduced the important members to Odysseus.

They are basically the captains of several flagships of the "Dawn of the Elements" fleet. Normally, they will lead a fleet of several ships to sea, plunder merchant ships, attack colonies, or engage in naval battles with other pirate groups.

The other two deputy leaders of the Dawn of Elements were Bernadette, who rarely managed specific matters; they were essentially responsible for maintaining the normal operations of this extraordinary organization. Regardless of their recent busy schedules or whether they had time, Bernadette required them to attend today's sea trials.

They had also heard some news that the "Queen" was building a large ocean ship, but the appearance of this ship seemed a little strange.

Several captains, like the ship designers, were also curious about what would power this ship.

Hearing the questions from her subordinates, Bernadette said calmly, "Let Odysseus, the designer of this ship, answer."

Odysseus smiled and said, "This ship will be powered by spiritual energy. I know this type of power is very novel and may be difficult for everyone to understand.

"But if our design works correctly, this could be a power system and energy system that could change the world.

"And all of you here are witnesses of this new dynamic."

Everyone looked at each other, as if they heard the young man's serious explanation, but also as if they didn't hear any useful information.

Since no one knew Odysseus's background, no one made any sarcastic remarks. They continued to watch the audition process and report the latest situation to the "Queen".

At this time, the large ship was being towed and pushed, gradually arriving at the harbor. There was not much wind or waves today, which was good news for the sea trial.

Because the balancing system has not been installed yet, the stability of the ship will be a problem if the waves are too big.

Although everyone was actively reporting on their work, Bernadette was obviously a little absent-minded, her attention completely focused on the large ship in front of her.

Among the people on this small boat, she was the only one who knew that this was the core part of Odysseus's research in mysticism, and it would definitely produce amazing results.

Everyone noticed this, and gradually began to take the sea trial in front of them seriously. Captain Aubrey asked Odysseus: "What is the speed of this ship?"

Odysseus replied without hesitation: "The designed maximum speed is about 30 knots, and the cruising speed can probably reach about 20 knots."

"What?" Aubrey thought he had misheard. "You're kidding!"

This is almost twice the size of the most advanced warship currently!

Odysseus glanced at the captain with a thick beard. He knew that the captain did not swear because of Bernadette's presence.

He simply smiled and said, "We'll be arriving at the audition location soon, so stay tuned."

Several captains fell silent. They knew that if they raised any questions at this time, they would be questioning the pretty boy as well as the "Queen".

Someone wanted to remind the "Queen" that this speed was ridiculous. With such a speed, the steel battleships that the Kingdom of Loen boasted about to the sky were simply a decoration!

But thinking that the "Queen" has always been very reliable and should not be deceived, they simply waited for the results of the sea trial to see whether this design was too novel or this guy was a big liar.

When the large ship was towed out of the port and arrived at the deep water area, someone on the ship sent a flag signal in this direction.

Odysseus said: "Your Majesty, the test can be carried out."

Bernadette said "hmm".

Odysseus took two small flags of different colors from Arya and waved the "start" flag towards the big ship.

For a moment, everyone felt that there seemed to be some strange fluctuations in the spiritual energy around them.

Immediately afterwards, without any wind, layers of waves appeared behind the ship, and beneath the waves, there were undercurrents.

They are working together to push the ship forward!

The bare ship, which was basically at rest, suddenly began to move, accelerating at a process that seemed abnormal to the captains, and soon achieved a certain speed.

At this time, the waves behind the big ship affected the small boat and the tugboat, causing the small boat to shake suddenly.

Bernadette raised her hand and the boat stopped shaking. The waves seemed to suddenly avoid the boat and move to the sides.

In the blink of an eye, the ship was traveling extremely fast, reaching a speed of about 15 knots.

Cheers were heard from the large ship, and the scholars and ship designers who were observing the sea trials on other small boats also cheered.

The captains around Odysseus were all stunned. How could this ship accelerate so fast in such a short time?

Bernadette patted Odysseus's shoulder with relief: "Very good."

Odysseus also smiled and said, "It seems that there are no major problems with our design. We can proceed with the further arrangement."

He paused and continued, "However, the ship has only the power system installed at this point. I suggest that we test it here first today, and then proceed to the next step of sea trials after further improvements."

Bernadette said, "Okay."

So Odysseus sent out flag signals again, and the large ship, which was already some distance away from the small boat, began to slow down, and the tugboats also quickly approached.

Only then did Bernadette's main subordinates recover from their surprise. The female captain, Belinda, asked, "Your Majesty, what kind of ship is this?"

Captain Aubrey asked, "What on earth is the power behind this?"

Odysseus replied, "This is a new kind of power, a power that can change the world."

The captains were so angry that they almost vomited blood. That's what this guy just said!

Please continue! What is this novel driving force that can change the world?
But at this point everyone has reached a consensus that this is indeed a power system that can change the world!
Everyone couldn't help but re-examine Odysseus and wondered where the "Queen" found this ship genius from?

Bernadette said a few words of encouragement to the scholars on other ships, and said that she would hold a banquet in the Emerald Palace tonight to entertain them warmly.

The main content of the sea trial has ended. Under the influence of Bernadette's extraordinary ability, the small boat they were riding flew forward quickly along the sea surface and soon returned to the port.

The captains and the two deputy leaders had a lot of questions, but they didn't know where to start, so they could only stay quietly at the back.

The group returned to the dock again, and Bernadette and Odysseus discussed the issue of building a large ship: "Does this ship also need maintenance?"

"It needs maintenance," Odysseus said. "About every two and a half years. It mainly involves adding some spiritual materials to allow the formation to operate more smoothly."

Bernadette was stunned. "Don't things you make usually need maintenance once a year or so?"

"That's because I didn't dare to use the most core things at that time." Odysseus smiled and said, "In this magic circle, I added many new symbols, and I only taught these symbols to the twelve scholars.

"That's the most advanced technology. Please keep it confidential."

"Of course." Bernadette glanced at the subordinates following behind her. "Except for me, no one else has the right to ask."
