[Occupation: Townsman]
[Level: 1/12]
This was the information Jax saw through the temporary [Basic Townsman Attribute Panel], but he knew that the person in front of him was the actual master of Crown Eagle Mountain... Oh yes, there were no lords or nobles in the main world now, so he had to be the actual manager of Crown Eagle Mountain.
The communication is two-way. While Merry is investigating the intelligence and information held by the pirates, his own information and intelligence are also held by the pirates. Lucas' identity and deeds are not kept secret in Crown Eagle Mountain.
Through these days of understanding, Jax knew that the man in the front seat was the real king of Crown Eagle Mountain. All the fantastic creatures his fleet encountered after landing here were completely unknown.
They all belong to this man. All residents, regardless of age, call him "Mr. Lucas" sincerely and respectfully. He even supports four-fifths of the population here by himself.
And such a person is a level 1 townsman? He would never believe it even if he was beaten to death!
He must be like those people in the One-Eyed Family, each of them possesses witchcraft or strange powers... Otherwise, how could he command those nearly 30-meter-tall tree giants! ?
……
When Jax woke up in the morning, he was told that he would accompany Mr. Lucas, a big shot here, to visit his captured warships today.
Because the people here don't care about the pirates' "property", Jax's personal belongings are well preserved except for weapons, so he has a naval uniform similar to the one in "Pirates of the Caribbean", a swallowtail, white trousers, epaulettes and ribbons. Because his ancestors traveled through time to escape, they didn't bring the cattle with them, and on his feet he wears leather boots of another kind of domesticated animal in this world.
He didn't wear the overly ostentatious wide-brimmed fleet commander's hat.
Before he came out, the fat sheriff who was in charge of several prisoner-of-war camps told him that he hoped he would do his best to work as a guide. If Mr. Lucas was satisfied, he would give him triple the work points. However, if Mr. Lucas was not satisfied, he would not let him work for nothing, but could only be given one day's basic work points according to regulations.
Work points are the labor rewards or remunerations awarded to these pirates here. They can be exchanged for gold, silver and copper currencies used here by the accounting officer, or they can be directly exchanged for other materials, such as luxury-level food, cigarettes, lighters or a wide variety of other exquisite goods.
Jax would never have thought that one day he would be tempted by such petty gains as rewards for hunting dogs, which he had previously disdained and left to servants to handle.
Even if he was paid enough work points and allowed to settle here later, he wouldn't mind saying "Sir, this way please" and leading them to capture the Stuart King City directly.
Anyway, he had been unhappy with his weak and incompetent father who could only play with ignorant girls conscripted from serfs' homes in the castle for a long time. It must feel good to see him picking up tools and sweeping the streets here in Crown Eagle Mountain.
It was also a surrender. Between Lucas from the "One-Eyed Family" and "Crown Eagle Mountain Community", he chose Lucas.
……
The car soon stopped at the battlefield of the day.
Now more tree giants have gathered here, and all thirteen warships are lifted by them to a minimum height of fifteen or sixteen meters above the ground.
In addition to the support, there were also many branches entangled in the hull, which was why none of the pirates had any idea of escaping.
Can't get away even if I run.
The pirates who died that day were selected from among the pirates with intact bodies, and the bodies and other debris were burned in the open space here.
But let alone passing through the barrier of the entire community, there are also countless green spheres, half-human, half-deer banshees and tree giants in the form of trees. Even if they can successfully escape from prison and successfully break through the barrier of the community and the above-mentioned magical creatures, arrive here and get on the battleship, they will not be able to drive the battleship away in a short time, provided that these tree giants do not resist when they cut off the entangled branches.
And after witnessing several shooting and mortar training sessions by the community security guards, Jax knew clearly that even if they could drive away the spaceship, they would never be able to escape the subsequent pursuit.
Comparing the ridiculous pirate artillery with the weapon technology here... well, there is no comparison. Just that thing called "Bofors anti-aircraft artillery" can kill their entire fleet and pirates like chickens.
He saw four such powerful...weapons with great destructive power in this community. Even more frightening was the kind called mortars, of which there were at least dozens.
Jax had also seen a weapon that could be fired from the shoulder, which could create a huge fireball with one shot. Not to mention their fragile planks, even the "Mist Destroyer" of the "One-Eyed" family, which was said to have copper shields decorating its sides, would be destroyed by one shot.
Even if everyone in the "One-Eye" family was a wizard or something weird, Jax didn't think they could withstand such a violent explosion and burning weapon.
In addition to being conquered by the food, toilet paper and soap here, it was of course the force that caused his drastic change in ideas.
Who knows what other powerful weapons the people here have not yet taken out? Just the ones displayed are enough to make him completely unwilling to resist.
……
Because he didn't know how to use the handlebars to open the door, Jax was very embarrassed and panicked, but fortunately Lucas helped him out.
Instead of laughing at him, he opened the car door from the outside and demonstrated to him how to use the door switch.
"I'm so sorry, sir"
"Don't apologize, it's nothing"
The two of them were talking briefly when the guard over there came out from nowhere. It was John Wick again.
"Good morning, Mr. Lucas."
"Good morning, John. You can just call me Lucas. Why are you still guarding here?"
"Well, it's a bit boring to stay at the manor, so I volunteered to guard here."
“Oh, it’s a chore”
"Okay, just in time
I have been in a warm place for too long, so I want to go back to the outside world. The cold makes my body feel sharp... Good morning, Laurel."
"Good day, John."
John looked at Jax for a few times and said, "Ah, I know you, General Jax, the commander of the pirates this time. Your command is brilliant. The failure is not your fault, it's the generation gap of weapons. Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself. Hello, I am the guard here, John Wick."
Jax's modern English was still not very fluent, but he managed to understand John's words. When he saw him extend his hand, he knew that this was a popular modern handshake, so he also extended his hand and shook hands with him.
"Hello Jax, Jax Stuart, it's a pleasure to meet you"
After the greetings, Lucas led Laurel and Jax into the venue.
Standing upright on the palm of an [Ancient Guardian], the tree giant lifted the three people up high with one hand, making a creaking sound all over his body, and sent them to the deck of the ship above his head.
It just happened to be Jax's flagship, the Sub-Sky Conqueror.
During the ascension process, Laurel was a little scared and couldn't help but hug Lucas' arm. Jax stood behind the two of them. This height also exceeded his safety threshold. He lowered his body and grabbed a branch on the tree man's palm with his hand.
Perhaps because it had been sailing in the fog for a long time, the Stuart family's galleon had the control panel placed inside the cabin compared to the warships of hundreds of years ago, but the hull structure did not change much - this was what had puzzled Lucas before.
Because there are masts and various debris on the deck of the ship, if the driving platform is not high up at the stern of the ship, there will be no vision inside the cabin. How can you drive a sailing ship?
He expressed this doubt to Jax.
After arriving on the "Subkong Conqueror", Jax did not show any expression and diligently played the role of his tour guide.
"Sir, this is actually the same question you asked about how we can locate and navigate in the fog. I'll show you how to do it and you'll understand. But to do this demonstration, I need to turn on the magic power supply device on the ship to charge it. I can assure you that this is just a demonstration and it has no purpose, so I need your permission."
Lucas didn't even look at him and nodded: "I approve, you go ahead and do it"
The magic supply device on the ship is very primitive and low-level. It is just a pile of magic stones from monsters and mineral magic crystals dug out from the ground, which are slightly spliced together and randomly piled up. Due to too many impurities, various magic powers that offset or conflict with each other are mixed together, resulting in low efficiency of the entire equipment, but also greatly improving safety. Not to mention operations such as overclocking, it is a miracle that it can provide enough magic for the anti-gravity rune array.
When Lucas inspected the site some time ago, he turned off these devices.
After getting his permission, Jax opened a bunch of wooden handle switches in the cabin that had a very steampunk feel, and personally went to the magic storage warehouse under the deck to check to make sure that there was an adequate supply of various magic stones inside.
There was no roar like when modern mechanical equipment is started, or the vibration of surging power. There was only silence, and the only magical-style lamp in the cabin gradually lit up.
By the way, the entire cockpit seems to be made of the skull of some giant creature, and the same is true for the other twelve warships.
There was no relevant record of the "mystical knowledge" in his mind. It might be some obscure and unpopular magic technique, or a very niche sacrificial ritual, so Lucas did not try to crack the secret here by himself, but chose to find a guide.
After waiting for the lights in the cockpit to reach a certain brightness, Jax began to introduce:
"Sir, I believe you have noticed that the entire cockpit is made of the skull of a large creature called a fog whale. They are magical creatures that live in the fog and can use their voices to identify objects in the surrounding area. They can also use this ability to locate objects..."
As soon as he started, Lucas roughly guessed what method they were using, but he still had questions, so he interrupted him and asked:
"You hunted these fog whales and made them into these undead magic tools? I'm very curious. Judging from the abilities you have shown, you should not have the ability to make such extraordinary items. How did you discover this technology... this witchcraft and apply it to fog navigation... etc."
Lucas suddenly thought of a question. The Stuart family became a wild lord who was half pirate and half noble after they surrendered to the One-Eyed Family, the king of the pirates of "Vantos".
"...This technology comes from the One-Eyed Family?"
"Yes, we don't know the specific principles, but we just follow the steps taught to us by the One-Eyed Family, kill the Mist Whale, remove its head, and strictly follow these steps to perform the sacrifice and the priest... production... Even so, there is still more than an 80% chance of failure. The cockpits of these thirteen warships are the heritage of our family passed down for hundreds of years. The hull can be replaced at will, but the cockpit cannot be made for decades."
Lucas nodded. "Go ahead and show me how this place works... Can you do it alone? Do you need some help?"
The cockpit was not cramped, and after the magic lights were turned on, it did not seem dark and eerie. However, since she got on board, Laurie had been
She held onto Lucas and didn't let go.
Leaning on him, looking at everything here curiously.
"If we just want to demonstrate the ability of the Mist Whale, we don't need anyone else. It's actually very simple..."
Jax walked to the dashboard, but did not touch the steering wheel. Instead, he squatted down and removed the wooden boards around the dashboard, revealing a glass jar that was emitting a bright light... Inside was something that looked like a modern medical specimen, with something that looked like a brain but with tentacles hanging down.
The glass used in the jar is of very poor quality and looks like frosted glass, but it is thick and sturdy.
It was filled with some unknown liquid, and bubbles rose from the bottom from time to time. Those brains that looked like they had tentacles also occasionally beat like hearts. Some of them were patched with metal strips like staples, which made Lucas's obsessive compulsive disorder break out and he wanted to remove those metal nails that lowered his sanity.
Lucas looked at the glass jar, then at the cockpit. Just as he was about to speak, Jax took the initiative to explain:
"This fog whale looks like a huge creature. An adult is longer and bigger than my battleship, but its brain is very delicate. What's in the glass jar is... We are actually in its mouth, not its brain."
"The medicinal oil inside was sold to us by the One-Eyed Family. Over the years, although we have figured out its composition, we are still missing something, either the key formula or the key refining steps. We can never produce this finished brain oil, so we can only choose to buy it from the One-Eyed Family... This is also an important means for them to control the entire Fantos. All pirate lords need to buy this brain oil from them. Otherwise, without the supply of brain oil... and regular live sacrifices, the brains of these fog whales will lose their function and become completely dead meat."
"Living sacrifice..."
Lucas licked his teeth, guessing that it wasn't chicken that was used.
However, he did not come here today to investigate the issue of "living sacrifice", but to find out how they navigated and positioned themselves in the fog.
"I understand, go ahead."
"Yes, sir"
Jax bowed slightly, saluted Lucas, and took out something that looked very familiar from under the cockpit.
To be exact, he held it in his hand. The thing seemed alive and had tentacle-like organs, which twisted around in his hand.
"This thing is called the Brain Eater. We don't know what it is. It's one of the navigation devices sold to us by the One-Eyed Family. It's said that it was originally a magical creature that feeds on brains. After killing them by some unknown method, the One-Eyed Family used their corpses to make this. The tentacles on the Mist Whale's brain are actually theirs."
"..."
Under Lucas' speechless gaze, Jax put the "Brain Eater" on his head.
Then he closed his eyes, and both Lucas and Laurel heard a magical "ding".
Spreading in all directions.
"Ding--"
"Ding--"
"Ding--"
The sound is ethereal, as if it is there and not there.
Jax pushed the steering wheel left and right out of inertia, then said to Lucas:
"It's hard for me to describe the specific feeling if I don't wear it myself."
Lucas looked at the "octopus hat" on his head, and the hanging tentacles were trembling from time to time - his eyelids twitched, and he reached out from an invisible place to take out a ring inlaid with a blue gemstone and put it on his hand - this was a mental protection ring.
Laurel was used to it. Jax looked at Lucas' wrist as if it was inserted into an invisible place, and his eyes shrank, which confirmed his inner guess.
"Okay, I'll try."
Lucas said after putting the ring on.
Upon hearing this, Jax took off his octopus hat and held it in both hands before presenting it to Lucas.
"Nimma——the tentacles are still twisting!!!"
Lucas was speaking C language loudly in his mind. On the surface, he seemed as calm as an old dog, but in fact, he was very nervous.
There is a strange smell on the "Brain Eater". It is not the smell of hair oil, but maybe the smell of the corpse of the Brain Eater... But it is still within the tolerable range.
Resisting the urge to throw it away, Lucas put it on his head.
"You can imagine the song of the mist whale, and after inspiring it, let yourself extend far away with its song..."
Jax pointed out from the side.
Lucas nodded, but he imagined a submarine emitting active radar, which should be the way the fog whale's brain was stimulated. Anyway, his thoughts spread out in a circular ripple.
Miraculously, many images like ripples on water appeared before his eyes.
The cockpit, the hull, the open space where thirteen warships were parked, the ancient guardian on the ground... John Wick was peeing under the roots of an ancient guardian tree... Damn, aren't you afraid that you will be frozen by the current, damn!
As the ripples spread, Lucas "saw" further away, the wall of Reyes Farm [Steel Thorns], and two farm workers who were lazily smoking in the vine greenhouse.
Inside the winter melon rack, a fat woman is having an affair with a strong farm worker... This fat woman seems to be the wife of farmer Reyes?
The worker's expression is a little subtle, as if he was forced to do the business?
