This pirate only wants to farm.

Lin Qi carried a cabinet and pressed it tightly against the empty wall of the captain's cabin. Once he confirmed the position was correct, he nodded in satisfaction: "Great, it gives the captain's cabin that feel right here."

Looking back at the newly renovated captain's cabin, Lin Qi couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

Although Elizabeth brought back a lot of useless junk that was left on the island, the things she could bring back that were actually quite useful were indeed some good items.

These pieces of furniture and items are not particularly exquisite; in fact, they could be described as rudimentary. But the Underworld doesn't even have these things.

For example, Lynch finally had a copper basin to wash his face, a 6-meter-long table in the captain's cabin, and a brand-new bed and various tables and chairs in the bedroom.

Even the desk that Lynch used to use has been replaced by Elizabeth.

Although it still looks quite shabby, it's at least much better than its previous empty state.

Two huge wooden cabinets were placed on either side of the captain's cabin, and a long table was placed in the middle. If nothing unexpected happens, this will be where he works and eats in the future.

Perfect timing, it's going to get cold soon. With this long table, Elizabeth and the others won't have to keep eating on the deck using a few small wooden tables pieced together.

Lin Qi felt that even the furry little guys from the Scholar would have no problem squeezing onto this table to eat together.

In addition, there are two other changes. One is that the crystal ball, which is called a Horcrux and is placed in the cabinet, is shining like a starry sky under the sunlight.

The other is the magical sea chart hanging next to the huge porthole in the captain's cabin, which is also the most conspicuous item in the captain's cabin.

With this nautical chart, Lin Qi could observe the changes in the calm sea at any time. He wouldn't need to calculate the time to know when the Scholar would come to trade; he could simply come and take a look to know for sure.

Lin Qi patted the dust off his hands with satisfaction, then went to the cabinet and looked at the only item inside, the crystal ball known as a Horcrux.

"So, how exactly do you use this thing?"

Lin Qi rubbed his chin, feeling a bit of a headache. These past few days, he would take out the crystal ball to study it whenever he had a spare moment, but despite trying various methods, the thing remained completely unresponsive.

It can be infused with magic, sunbathed, soaked in seawater, basked in moonlight, or even placed on the deck overnight.

The crystal ball was like a fake; it didn't react at all.

"Could it be that the crystal ball itself isn't important at all, and the stone base is what matters?"

"Or does this thing only react when we get close to that island?"

Unable to find an answer after thinking about it, Lin Qi casually closed the cabinet door. For now, he'd just treat this thing as a decoration.

After tidying up the room, Lin Qi smiled and patted the wall of the captain's cabin: "Wangcai, can you help me secure these pieces of furniture?"

Wangcai, standing on the upper deck, let out a squeak from afar.

Then, Lin Qi heard a series of snapping sounds coming from the captain's cabin. The furniture that was originally just placed on the wooden floor quickly sank in, and the parts that were close to the wall were also embedded in it.

In just a few breaths, the newly added furniture in the captain's cabin had become an integral part of the Hades.

This is the advantage of a ghost ship: you don't have to worry about the placement of the furniture or the rough seas.

Of course, there's no need to worry about these things on a calm sea.

Lynch stretched and rubbed his aching lower back, intending to go out onto the deck to sunbathe, when he heard Elizabeth's energetic voice: "Captain, I've moved all the cannons into the gun pods. Would you like to come and take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Lynch immediately became interested. As he stepped down from the cabin, he saw Elizabeth holding an oil lamp, waving excitedly at him.

Following Elizabeth into the cabin, one sees five cannons neatly arranged on both sides of the gun pod, with Elizabeth even securing these massive machines with chains.

"Three cannons on the left, two cannons on the right plus a magic cannon, so there's no need to worry about imbalance."

"And also, this time I also acquired more than a dozen artillery shells, as well as seven or eight gunpowder packs."

Elizabeth counted on her fingers as she reported her work to Lynch, who also noticed the gunpowder packs in the wooden barrel and the shells wrapped in a rope net next to them.

It must be said that Elizabeth is indeed a very strong woman.

Without Elizabeth's help and the second mate, Skull, Lynch would have had no chance of acquiring those cannons.

You see, even though Wangcai can swallow ships and collect supplies, it simply can't swallow these heavy cannons. It can only watch helplessly as these treasures sink to the bottom of the sea.

To put it in Wangcai's words, when the ship's hull opened up to swallow the cannons, it simply couldn't bear the weight of those heavy cannons. If it were forced to swallow them, it might damage the ship.

Only after Wangcai has devoured enough ships and repaired the Underworld Ship can it perhaps devour these cannons without damage.

Lin Qi chuckled and patted the sturdy cannons: "Not bad, not bad. With these things, we'll have more confidence entering the heart of the Windless Sea."

"It's a pity that many of the gunpowder packs got damp, and there weren't many shells left."

"I wish there were more."

Lin Qi looked at Elizabeth, who was standing with her hands on her hips, and became more and more satisfied. Although she was a bit silly, her strength was more than enough. She was a rare talent on the high seas.

Elizabeth was still chuckling to herself when she heard Lynch's words, and her eyes immediately lit up with curiosity: "Captain, why are you suddenly interested in these cannons?"

Previously, when Elizabeth went to scavenge for supplies, Lynch specifically instructed her to bring back all usable artillery.

Elizabeth had always thought that her captain had looked down on these powerful iron lumps.

The smile on Lin Qi's face slowly faded, and he pursed his lips: "It's nothing, I just feel that these things are optional, but we can't be without them."

That's true, but Lin Qi didn't think so.

He used to only care about whether the granaries were full or not; he always thought that artillery was dispensable.

Gunpowder will get damp and expire; it's much better to use that magic cannon to shoot out the skeleton mates.

Besides, the Hades has been drifting on the windless sea for years and has only encountered these two clueless pirates.

But it is different now.

The corruption tide has shifted slightly, and no one can guarantee that this thing won't detach from the island and appear on the open sea.

Moreover, no one can guarantee that corruption will always be effective only for intelligent beings.

Lin Qi felt a tiny bit uneasy.

As a farmer, my biggest fear is that accidents will happen.

Therefore, it's always better to prepare early than to be caught off guard and scramble at the last minute.

With Elizabeth, a strong and capable woman, moving a few cannons wouldn't cost them much.

But at that moment, Elizabeth suddenly asked, "Captain, we have so many cannons, what if we don't have enough manpower when we actually need them?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qi immediately realized what was going on.

Yes.

With the magic cannons included, there are a total of 6 cannons, but the ship only has 4 people at most...

These ordinary cannons are not as easy to handle as magical cannons; each cannon requires at least two people working together to maximize its effectiveness.

hiss!

Careless.

Does that mean I have to go down there and fish out a skeleton to work for me?

The problem is, can those bastards be as obedient as the second mate, Skull?
