This pirate only wants to farm.

Upon hearing Elizabeth's exclamation, Lynch did not hesitate for a moment. He left all the rest of his belongings in the captain's cabin, took only the nautical chart and the notebook he hadn't had time to look at, and immediately returned to the ship's cabin.

Following the sounds from inside the cabin, Lynch quickly located Elizabeth's position.

Elizabeth was in a room that was very secluded, hidden at the stern of the ship. Lynch could tell at a glance that it was a hidden compartment at the stern.

Elizabeth's exclamation not only attracted Lynch, but also the Skeleton Second Lieutenant appeared out of nowhere, carrying a decent-looking longsword.

As Lynch and the second mate entered, they saw Elizabeth's longsword emitting a moonlight-like glow, illuminating a strange facility in the center of the room.

It was a base carved from some kind of stone with a stone pillar in the center, and a crystal ball placed on top of the pillar.

The crystal ball shone brightly under the silvery moonlight, and the tiny bubbles in the center resembled a starry sky under the illumination.

Elizabeth looked at Lynch with a grin, as if she were happy to have found something good: "Captain, look, this must be something good. I've never seen anything like it before. It must be some kind of magical item."

Even without Elizabeth saying it, Lynch could sense the unique magical fluctuations emanating from the crystal ball.

Anything hidden in a place like the stern of a ship must be valuable. Lin Qi's eyes lit up, and he clicked his tongue, looking at the skeleton second mate beside him, and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

The second skeleton, carrying the newly acquired longsword, touched his chin with his finger bones, and shook his head after a long while.

Lin Qi tapped the crystal ball twice, then chuckled, "Whatever it is, let's take it back first."

Wangcai grabbed Lin Qi's hair in dissatisfaction.

We were supposed to be here to find the figurehead, so why are you all on an adventure and treasure hunt now?

Lin Qi was also quite bothered by Wangcai, but he knew he was in the wrong.

After silently calculating the time in his mind, Lin Qi clapped his hands.

"Let's go. We've already wasted enough time on this island. Let's get the figurehead back as soon as possible. We can come back for the rest tomorrow."

However, as he was leaving, Lin Qi forcefully broke the crystal ball off the stone pillar.

Although he didn't know what the crystal ball was for, Lin Qi had a feeling that it might be related to the fact that the people on this ship had come to the Windless Sea.

In Lynch's mind, all the pirates in the Windless Sea were forced to live there; none of them came to this godforsaken place voluntarily.

But this group of people actually headed for the Windless Sea, which made Lin Qi quite curious.

Lynch played with the crystal ball and led Elizabeth and the others to the bow of the ship.

Lin Qi stomped hard on the ram above the figurehead twice, and looking at the cracks on it, he couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken: "What a pity, such a good ram is damaged. It seems we can only take the figurehead back."

"Second mate, remove the figurehead."

Under the second mate's dazzling swordsmanship, the figurehead attached to the ram was ripped off without a scratch, and Elizabeth below the ship was already prepared.

The delicate noblewoman bent her knees slightly, raised her hands high, and actually caught the hundreds-of-pounds figurehead steadily.

"drink!"

Elizabeth let out a soft groan, her feet sinking three to five centimeters into the soil, yet the massive figurehead remained completely undamaged.

"Hehe! Captain, I caught it!"

Elizabeth raised her head with a smug look, winked at Lynch, and seemed to be thoroughly enjoying herself.

Lin Qi shook his head helplessly. He really didn't know how this noble girl's brain worked.

Wangcai happily jumped off Lin Qi's shoulder and landed right on the figurehead.

The second mate, Skeleton, shook his head helplessly, handed the longsword to Lin Qi, and jumped off. The two of them, a skeleton and a man, carried the figurehead and returned to the shore with Wangcai.

Elizabeth was still struggling to carry the figurehead by herself, but it got much easier after the second mate, the skeleton, joined in.

Wangcai happily climbed and ran back and forth between the two ends of the figurehead. Judging from its hopping and jumping appearance, you could tell how happy Wangcai was at that moment.

However, Captain Lynch was not empty-handed. He had already changed into the boots he found in the captain's cabin and was wearing the captain's hat he had found earlier. He had also wrapped up the odds and ends he had found in the captain's cabin and Elizabeth's place into a bundle and carried it on his shoulder.

Although it only took a few hours to get to the island, Lin Qi and his Netherworld ship had a very fruitful trip.

The biggest gain was the figurehead acquired this time.

Lin Qi hummed a little tune, carrying a bundle made from a captain's uniform. His eyes would occasionally sweep over the cheerful Wangcai and the figurehead below it, and then he would look at the description of the figurehead on the panel in front of him. He couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Make big!

Sure enough, anything that Wangcai is eyeing must be a good thing.

【Item Name: Gift of the Tide Angel (Gemstone)】

Grade: Green Premium.

【Item Overview: A beautifully crafted figurehead created by an artisan, blessed by the sea. It can effectively mitigate the effects of severe weather on ships, balance the temperature inside the ship, and form a unique protective mechanism based on the characteristics of the ship to resist some of the damage caused by attacks.

May the Lord of the Tides regain his glory.

—William Campbell.

Lin Qi raised an eyebrow. He actually had three abilities?

To mitigate the impact of weather, balance the temperature inside the ship, and provide special protection tailored to the characteristics of the vessel.

The light screen that I saw on the ship on the island before, is that what you call a protective measure?

I wonder what kind of effect this figurehead will have when combined with the Hades ship.

Thanks to the efforts of Elizabeth and the second mate, the figurehead was finally towed onto the Hades.

Elizabeth wiped the sweat from her forehead, quite satisfied with her performance today. Just as she was about to turn around to receive the captain's praise, she saw the bright smile on Lynch's face.

"Captain, do you have some kind of ability to see this figurehead? Why are you smiling so happily?"

Lin Qi chuckled and touched his nose: "Was I that obvious?"

"However, this is indeed a good thing, especially for our Netherworld."

"But we'll have to wait until after installation to see the actual results. Wangcai, it's your turn to perform."

Ever since the elephant figurehead was moved onto the ship, Wangcai had excitedly run around the farmland several times. Now, having received Lin Qi's command, Wangcai immediately jumped happily onto Lin Qi's head, raising its two little paws high.

"Squeak!"

A crack appeared in the deck where the figurehead was placed, and the enormous figurehead slowly sank into the deck to Elizabeth's astonishment.

Boom!

The Hades emitted a hum, and something seemed to grow from beneath its decaying ram and broken figurehead.

Wisps of dark gray mist seeped out from the gaps in the hull of the Hades.

Elizabeth shuddered as she watched this scene.

She had a feeling that the Hades seemed to have become even more evil and eerie...
