Chapter 823 824. Magic Cannon
In fact, Roy didn't know what these long and narrow wooden boxes were carved with magic runes.
Since you can pile up floating devices worth one thousand magic crystals on the deck and move a large amount of internal space to store these cylinders, Roy thinks that these metal cylinders must be more precious than floating devices.
I originally wanted to see what was installed in the second cabin under the deck of this three-masted sailboat, but I didn't expect that this layer was filled with this kind of metal cylinder.
The air-floating device looks more like it was loaded onto the ship.
There are basically two kinds of supplies on this ship.
The deck is piled with more than 300 floating devices, and there are nearly 500 long wooden boxes of metal cylinders installed in the cabin below the deck.
So much cargo makes the boat very drafted, and the boat is very damaged, and the traces left in the battle outside have not been repaired.
The deck of another three-masted sailboat is also full of floating devices, but the cabin below the deck is more precious magic sealing box. These magic sealing boxes are filled with magic metal parts, and the metal is a very exquisite magic center. They look like some precision machinery, but many parts have magic pattern magic arrays. Roy also doesn't understand what these magic machinery are used for.
But the estimated price of these 600 floating devices alone exceeds 600,000 magic crystals.
Roy stood on the deck and said to Commander Geroin: "You must have never imagined how crazy my best friend did for these dwarf treasures..." "If they were still alive, I don't know what they would feel when they saw these floating devices." "We originally planned to travel the entire continent together, but now everything has turned into a bubble." Commander Geroin observed the secret haven, looked around the cave wall, and said: "
"Don't be sad, Roy! What we need to consider is how to transport these big boxes away! You can't leave them here!"
"Our four three-masted sailboats were already full of elves guards, and now they have to bring the elves rescued from the island. They are probably carrying them at full capacity and can't hold other supplies at all."
Roy was not worried about this and said:
"There are two three-masted sailboats parked on the dock of the island in Prestton Island. I am going to requisition those ships. What we have to do now is to open the gate of the safe haven and drive our ship in."
"If possible, I will also take away these two abandoned three-masted sailboats. Anyway, there are many three-masted sailboats waiting to be repaired..."
After saying that, Roy supported himself on the side of the left ship with one hand, jumped from the deck, and jumped sensitively to the dock.
…
Walking to the end of the pier, there is a five-meter-diameter stone mill-shaped winch here. The chains connected to the winch are almost as thick as those of an adult's waist. Two chains extend from the huge sprocket under the winch, and through a complex set of pulleys, they are connected to the wall of the hole hundreds of meters away.
There is a gate that is dozens of meters high there, but due to insufficient light, Roy's display is still unclear what the situation is.
However, there were already mixed-blooded elf guards paddling the small wooden boat to the edge of the cave wall there to check the situation.
The chain passes through the sprocket, and the other end leads directly to the top of the cave. There is actually a fixed pulley connecting the chain at the top of the cave. The huge counterweight iron hangs at the highest point of the cave.
Roy greeted several of the strongest hybrid elves guards, all of whom were sword dancers, and the power-oriented elves warriors.
Twelve mixed-blood elve guards stood in front of the twelve push rods of the winch. They used force at the same time, and the huge winch actually rotated slowly, and even the huge chains on the winch slowly moved in the crunch.
However, the winch rotates very slowly. Every time the winch turns, the chain moves about two meters. After being released through the pulley set, it is finally transmitted to the door of the hole wall, only a little finger.
It would probably take Roy at least a day or two to open the door completely.
Roy asked Walker to take the walrus owner back to the small town dock of Presterton, and went there to shout the fleet over and asked them to park near Captain Relf's private dock.
Other hybrid elves guards stayed and continued to search for this secret haven.
In this safe haven, except for two three-masted sailboats, the most prepared iron cages used to hold slaves. It is estimated that the cages in the sea are used to hold Naga Sea tribe, and the iron cages on the shore are probably used to hold other slaves.
The pier is piled up with stones, and the cracks are filled with mortar. The seawater cannot take away the mortar in the cracks, but instead makes the mortar condense into hard stones, covering it with a large number of oysters.
If it weren't for the faint smell of stench in the cave, some Naga Sea bones floated in the sea, Roy would even want to dig a few oysters and suck it into her stomach...
Roy stood in front of the winch for a while, and turned around and asked the old gray dwarf: "You usually open the door like this?"
The old gray dwarf looked gray and looked like she was desperate, and ignored Roy's inquiry at all. "Yes, there are slaves on Relf's ship. If those slaves push the winch, who cares how much time they spend!"
Roy then said.
…
He walked towards the first three-masted sailboat. The metal cylinders on the ship gave him some associations. He remembered the artillery on the pirate ship, which looked exquisite although they looked.
But it seems that it is the kind of cannon that contains some gunpowder, then put a solid iron ball in, then ignite the fuse, and explodes a white smoke with a bomb...
Thinking about if the giant whaling crossbow on the magic airship is replaced with a cannon, will the firepower of the magic airship be greatly increased?
In fact, among the three-masted sailboats he seized from the gray dwarf robbers, some of them had cannons installed, but those cannons seemed to be ordinary cast iron cannon barrels, with three iron hoops preventing the explosion on the cannon barrel...
The outside of those cannons did not have such exquisite gilded magic patterns.
Roy felt that in this world, as long as the word magic is used, the value of anything will increase exponentially.
The cannons in these long wooden boxes must also bless the magic. Miss Tiffany needs to come over to give the correct answer.
If it is really a ship of magic cannons, it is actually quite good. Installed on those magic airships, these magic airships will have long-range strike capabilities. After all, the range of the giant whaling crossbow is limited...
He walked on the boat again, and before he could enter the warehouse under the deck, he was shouted by Captain Geroin, who was poking his head out of the captain's room.
Captain Geroin waved to Roy at the door of the captain's office: "Boss Roy, come here, I saw some information in the captain's diary..."
Captain Geroin ran up the boat stairs and followed Captain Geroin to a dusty desk.
The captain's room was also covered with mold, but this room was not as trendy as other rooms. There was still some dust on the seats, like dirt.
Obviously, it hasn't been inside the room for a long time, and the floor is full of the footprints of Captain Geroin. On the table was an old monocular, and several books about to grow mushrooms, and Commander Geroin took out a captain's diary from these books.
The captain's diary's book cover is an unknown sea beast film, and it also contains some magic parchment paper. This paper is made of Warcraft leather, which is moisture-proof and fire-resistant, and does not rot for a long time.
There is a brand on the cover of the diary. The signature on the brand is "Adra" written in dwarf language.
Roy opened the diary and did not recognize the dwarf words on it at all.
Now he regrets that he didn't learn two more foreign languages in the Elf Academy. If he could learn Naga, Imperial, and Dwarf at that time, he wouldn't be so painful at this time. He would need someone to translate anything he meets.
Roy glanced at Captain Geroin speechlessly.
Captain Geroin knew why Roy was embarrassed, and he said to Roy: "Actually, I understand a little dwarf language, because in Haiti, the dark place, life is very boring every day, so I learned a little of all languages..."
Roy looked at the strange words on the pages and asked Captain Geroin:
"What exactly is written on it?"
Captain Geroin opened an article casually, pointed at the text on it with his finger, and translated it little by little to Roy:

"Elf New Calendar July 3, 1397.
I originally wanted to suggest that Commander Sousa transform his fleet in the sea outside the Mensa Plain.
Install the floating device on the ship on the three-masted sailboat in advance so that even if we sail on the sea, we can fly into the air even if we encounter attacks from the Naga Sea tribe.
But Commander Sousa thinks my proposal is a waste of time, the reason is that the waters outside the Elf Continent are basically full of fleets of gray dwarves, and there is no danger on this route. Our mission is to pass through the Endless Sea and the Seventh Sea as fast as possible and arrive at the Gemini Sea in the south as soon as possible.
Only by occupying the Gala Island over there, we gray dwarves have new territory.
It's a pity that Commander Sousa did not adopt my suggestion.
He believes that these Hex technology products are just some fancy things. Once the fleet equipped with floating devices enters the sea outside the Elf Kingdom and encounters the Silver Pegasus Legion of the Elf Empire, they will inevitably be wiped out. The elves' resistance to Hex Technology is much greater than that of the dwarves.
So this time my suggestion was rejected by the commander-in-chief again! "
Captain Geroin read another article.
"Elf New Calendar October 17, 1397.
Our fleet sailed across the sea outside Mulayaki and was chased by the Silver Pegasus Legion. Fortunately, there was no floating device on the ship. The Silver Pegasus Knights chased us for three days and then turned around and returned to the Elf Continent.
It's really fortunate that these Silver Pegasus Knights must not know how many floating devices are installed on my ship!
If they knew, I think our fleet would not have escaped the pursuit of the Silver Pegasus Knights so easily..."
Before the diary was finished, it was thrown away by the recorder, and there was a large blank space behind it.
As Commander Geroin turned the page again,
"Elf New Calendar January 9, 1398.
We finally left the sea where the elves often lingered, and everyone on the boat got down with a dance party at night.
Susan had sent me a note that she wanted to dance with me at night. I needed to take a shower later, trim my beard, and change into a clean leather armor.
Unfortunately, most of the space on the deck is occupied by cargo boxes, so we can only hold a party on the roof.
I just hope that those floating devices can be unloaded from my boat as soon as possible!
There are also those useless magic cannons...
I really don't understand why the commander brought these magic cannons out!
They should be left in the material warehouse, which is suitable for destroying fixed points on the ground, but cannot be guarded against the Silver Pegasus Legion.
They should not appear here.
Unless we build an air fleet, we will defeat the Silver Pegasus Legion.
Otherwise, our magic airships and magic cannons will always be hidden in the cabin..."
Captain Geroin stopped after reading this, and he took a sip of water and threw the captain's notes aside.
"It turns out that the wooden box on this ship is filled with floating devices and magic cannons. Are these magic cannons not very powerful? It seems that this gray dwarf captain doesn't like magic cannons very much..." Roy stood opposite Captain Geroin, found a chair to sit down and said.
"Magic cannons require shells. The power of the magic cannons depends entirely on the shells, and this thing is very expensive."
"You can think of this thing as a giant whale crossbow. In fact, the powerful whale crossbows on the magic airship are all depending on what kind of magic crossbow you use. The magic crossbows you purchase are all high-end goods, so your magic airship can snipe the Dark Faceless Supervisor at high altitude."
"If you install magic cannons on your magic airship, you have to contact the Magic Union and purchase ammunition suitable for these magic cannons..."
Roy nodded and said, "When Grames comes next time, I will ask him if he can get the ammunition of the magic cannon. Are you sure there is no in the cabin?"
Captain Geroin shook his head and responded, "I have searched all the cabins, but I have not found the ammunition of the magic cannon. In addition, these magic cannons should not only have gun barrels. They should also have a very heavy gun mount that can adjust the pitch angle and left and right angles, but there are not on these gun mounts."
"But we found this..."
As he said that, Geroin took out a drawing of the magic cannon shell and smiled at Roy, saying: "As long as we have this drawing, we can let the great magicians create some of them with their own hands." "It turns out that the dwarf treasure in Relf's mouth is this..." Roy sighed and said.
Then Commander Geroin asked Roy:
"Can these two three-masted sailboats be repaired?" Roy said: "It should be OK. We brought plenty of replacement parts on the ship..."
