Chapter 121 Ocean Fire and Sea King Halberd
Seeing that the cards on the table were getting longer and longer, the shipwright couldn't help but hold his breath.
He grabbed the next card from his deck, turned it over and saw that it was a 4 of spades. Then he looked at the long line of cards on the table. He didn't see another 4 in it, and he couldn't help but sigh. Take a breath.
Somewhat unwillingly, he put the cards in his hand at the end.
A flash of joy flashed in the little maid's eyes. "It's my turn!"
After saying that, she also grabbed a card, the 7 of clubs, which was also the only 7 on the table.
Fitzwilliam suddenly became excited again. When the little maid put down the 7, he was about to draw cards again.
Now that there are eleven cards on the table, the probability that his next card will not be repeated is very small, so the only question left is how many cards can be eaten.
However, before the shipwright could kill everyone, Clara turned her head and looked at the alarm clock on the table, suddenly grabbed the cards on the table and put them back into the card box.
At the same time, he shouted, "No more playing, no more playing, Lord Prophet, he will be back soon! Don't tell him that I am playing cards with you later."
The shipwright looked a little confused. He watched Clara put away her cards, hesitated for a moment, and then sincerely begged for advice.
"Didn't you say before that believers who believe in Saturday should have a deep understanding of the importance of rest and entertainment, so playing cards is also a spiritual practice?"
"That's someone else. As for me... I've already overspent this week's vacation." Clara stuck out her tongue and said with regret, "I will definitely be scolded again if I get caught, so you must be careful Don’t betray me.”
"Uh...Okay, okay."
After the minute hand on the alarm clock moved about fifteen spaces, the sound of horse hooves finally came from outside the door.
The little maid opened the door immediately and welcomed him out with enthusiasm.
Fitzwilliam quickly put down the water glass in his hand and followed Clara out the door.
It was dark outside, and the stars in the sky were twinkling.
A black figure got off the horse and handed the reins to the maid. Then he glanced at Fitzwilliam and said before the shipwright could speak, "Are you playing cards with her?"
< br>
"No, how could it be possible? It's impossible!" Clara was shocked at first, and then she denied it three times in a row.
"Then why are you two up so late at night?" Li Yu asked.
"…………"
The little maid was speechless, and the boatman also cast a helpless look at her.
"I'll give you two months, three thousand common words, so that you can read and write proficiently." Li Yu did not give Clara a chance to continue to defend herself, and directly announced her punishment.
"Three thousand commonly used words? Only two months?" The little maid wailed, "This is too difficult! And don't I have to take two days off every week? This is written in the commandments, isn't it? As a prophet, do you want to break the commandments openly? ”
"Of course you must abide by the commandments. Three thousand words in two months may be difficult for others, but your memory is so good. As long as you are willing to have snacks, you can still do it, and it will not delay your rest." Li Yu said calmly. .
After saying that, he ignored Clara, who was mourning her heir, and turned to Fitzwilliam again, "Are you Fitzwilliam? How is your sister doing now?"
"As you predicted before, she has fully recovered now," the shipwright said respectfully. "My sister can survive only because of the kindness of you and Mr. Saturday, so I also want to join the Shuangxiu Cult!
"Well, but I am a member of the Weiting family. My family was involved in a rebellion before. Now we are all sinners of the empire. I wonder if this is okay?"
"Of course, regardless of identity, gender and race, the door of Shuangxiujiao is open to everyone. I will preach here every Friday afternoon, explain the teachings of Shuangxiujiao, and organize corresponding activities. By then You can come and join us.”
Seeing a flash of doubt in Fitzwilliam's eyes, Li Yu added.
"Double holidays adopt a new calendar, counting seven days as a week, from Monday to Sunday. I will let Mary tell you the specific time later."
"Okay, okay."
"I heard from Ilea that you were a shipwright before and built warships?" After a pause, Li Yu asked again.
Fitzwilliam smiled bitterly, "Yes, before I was captured, I was helping my family build the largest warship in the empire, the Sea King. Unfortunately, it was not completed in the end, and after I came to the West, far away from the sea, my skills were useless. The place of martial arts.”
Li Yu was noncommittal upon hearing this, "What kind of weapons do you usually have on the warships you build?"
Fitzwilliam also got excited when talking about his old profession, "The battleships of the Wettin family are generally equipped with rams. The rams are located under the waterline of the bow and are wrapped in bronze. As long as they hit the side of the enemy ship with the rams , can cause huge damage
"If the keel is broken, it can directly sink the enemy ship. In addition, if the soldiers on the ship are elite enough, we will also be equipped with a woodpecker suspension bridge.
"Well, just add a beak-like tip to the front of the suspension bridge. As long as it pierces the enemy ship, the soldiers on the ship can kill along the suspension bridge.
"However, the Woodpecker Suspension Bridge also has disadvantages, that is, it is too heavy and will affect the stability of the ship. If it encounters big winds and waves, it can easily capsize.
"In addition, the Wei Ting family will also install some trebuchets on the ship. However, the power of simple stones is limited, so the Wei Ting family also invented the ocean fire."
"Ocean Fire?"
"Yes, it is a terrifying flame that can still burn on the surface of the sea. It is almost impossible to extinguish after being hit, and can keep burning for a long time. It is one of the two major weapons of the family across the world."
At this point, Fitzwilliam showed a look of regret on his face, "Unfortunately, the formula of Ocean Fire has always been only in the hands of a few core members of the family, and now those people are dead, and Ocean Fire is also in the hands of the core members of the family. Completely lost.”
Li Yu estimated that the ocean fire that the shipwright mentioned was probably a liquid combustible agent similar to Greek fire. The Romans indeed relied on this thing to shock the world.
The main ingredients might be petroleum and sulfur, so he might try to mix it up if he has the chance in the future.
Li Yu asked again, "What about the other weapon?"
"The Sea King's Halberd! It's a giant crossbow. I can make this one," Fitzwilliam said. "The Sea King's Halberd equipped on the Sea King is the largest and can easily shoot through small warships that dare to approach!"
< br>
"Oh, can you make it now?" Li Yu's expression changed when he heard this.
"Yes, as long as you give me enough manpower and materials." Fitzwilliam said simply.
"I will talk to Ilea later. You don't have to farm anymore. Just stay here and build the Sea King Halberd for me. Build three of them first. I will use them." Li Yu also replied. (End of chapter)
