Moreover, there are no more subordinates to recruit, but the six alchemy-powered warships have been destroyed, and Blackbeard has no way to build the same warships again. And without such a warship, even if Blackbeard pulled up another group of men, he would not be able to return to the way it was before, which made him inevitably a little disheartened.

I heard that the Tower of Twilight was recruiting sailors, although Blackbeard had been begging for a living at sea, but he also knew that in the entire Light Wind Plains, it seemed that only this Tower of Twilight dared not to give face to the Kingdom of Jindu at all, so he brought Jack to sign up. On the one hand, he believed that as long as he hid in the ship of the Tower of Dusk, he could escape the capture of the Jindu Kingdom. On the other hand, he also had a faint hope in his heart, hoping that one day he would be able to use the hand of the Tower of Dusk to recover the blood debt from the Kingdom of Jindu on behalf of his dead brothers.

It's just that Blackbeard didn't expect that when he heard that the ship was named the Star, he just complained casually, and he was actually picked out by the young owner. Of course, it was also at this time that he learned that the young man was actually the owner of the Tower of Dusk, a legendary super powerhouse who had stepped into the realm of the Holy Realm.

After learning about Blackbeard's Julio, Lin Li really didn't pay much attention to it, but it was what Blackbeard said about the Star that made him very interested. So when Julio drank the healing potion and his strength had begun to recover, Lin Li asked again: "Where did you know about the Star, don't tell me any more myths and legends, I haven't heard about the Legend of the Star here." ”

If you want to talk about myths and legends, it must be spread very widely, not to mention that they are household names, at least there will be no few people who know about them. However, in this coastal area, he has never heard of any legend about the Star, and more of it is about a down-and-out sailor who went out to sea to dig up treasures and the like.

At this time, Julio also felt that the injuries on his body were recovering rapidly, and it might not take long for his strength to recover to the legendary level. Hearing Lin Li's question, he hurriedly suppressed the surprise in his heart, made a respectful look, and said, "Lord Hui's words, this legend about the Star is actually just a legend that has been passed down in our family for generations. Legend has it that the ancestor of our family led this fleet to escape from the High Elves fleet and escaped into a very secret passage. ”

Hearing Julio's words, Lin Li couldn't help but think of a sentence, "Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the children of mice will make holes." "Sure enough, what kind of seed is this, what kind of seedling comes out. Julio's ancestor was able to lure the High Elf fleet to encircle and suppress it, and he was obviously quite a pirate back then.

"However, just as they were about to get rid of the High Elf fleet, they came across a very large warship. As a result, except for our ancestor, the entire fleet was instantly blown to pieces by that warship, but fortunately, the fleet of the High Elves caught up later, and our ancestor was lucky enough to escape. And immediately after, he saw a very shocking scene, the powerful High Elf fleet should also be vulnerable in front of that huge warship, and that warship is the Star. Julio didn't notice Lin Li's strange expression, but told the legend very plainly, presumably because he had heard too much from his elders back then, so his tone did not fluctuate at all.

Listening to Julio's words, Lin Li's expression was even more strange, because it reminded him of his experience in the world he had created in Gresco. At that time, in order to test the firepower of the Star, he didn't use a colliding pirate fleet as a target, and later also destroyed a fleet of High Elves.

Hearing what Julio said, Lin Li couldn't help but have a confused feeling in his head, could it be that he was really sent thousands of years ago by Gresco, and also destroyed the pirate fleet of Julio's ancestors? Of course, Lin Li also knew that it was actually unlikely. Not everyone can swim in the long river of time, and it is said that only the Dragon of Time, one of the five guardian dragons, has that ability, and not even the gods have that power.

Lin Li could only say that everything he encountered in that world should have been pre-set by Gresco. It's like watching a movie, but the difference is that you're part of the world of the movie, but you're still just a spectator.

And the legends that Julio told, in addition to this, are more conventional, nothing more than seeing the Star fighting some sea beast, or what attacked the High Elf warship, etc. These legends are almost a big grasp here along the coast, and the difference is only that the protagonist has changed.

The matter of the Star was put aside, and Lin Li and Julio chatted for a while about navigation. I have to say that Julio was able to lead a pirate group and roam the endless sea for so many years, but it is definitely not a fluke. Good luck can only be good for a while, no one can be favored by the goddess of luck forever, what can really be relied on is that you have real skills.

As for those things in navigation, Lin Li is still only theoretical, but Julio has been crisscrossing the Endless Sea for so many years, and his experience in navigation has been hard worked on the wind and waves of the sea. If you really want to talk about it, I'm afraid that even the most famous navigator of the Kingdom of Jindu may not be able to compare with Julio.

Being able to get two experienced sailors, Julio and Jack, is also a big gain for Lin Li. However, Lin Li can feel that Julio and Jack have always been respectful to him, but in his heart, he may not necessarily agree with himself as a captain. Because when they spoke, they still only called themselves adults, but they didn't really call themselves ships, and Lin Li didn't care much about this, as long as these two people worked honestly under their hands, it didn't matter what he wanted to call himself.

Soon, the preparations for the trial voyage of the Star were completed, and the sailors were familiar with the work they had to do under the guidance of the shipwrights. Although the Etoile sails on alchemy power and does not require sailors to do things like adjusting the sails, sailors are not out of trouble aboard the Atoile, and the work they do requires far more skill and experience than on other ships.

The trial of the Star is not only to test the performance of the Star, but also to familiarize these sailors with the work on the Star. No matter how much experience these sailors once had in working on the ship, I am afraid that it will be greatly reduced on the Star, so there are many things that they need to learn and practice again.

Finally, when everything was ready, the Star slowly drove out of the shipyard's dock under the manipulation of Lin Li, and the hideous sea steel behemoth appeared in the harbor of Aotland for the first time. This huge steel beast was four or five times larger than the alchemy giant ship of the Jindu Kingdom, like a steel fortress moving on the sea.

Everyone who saw it in the harbor was stunned, and those who were a little closer to the Star only felt that a huge black shadow had covered the sky above them. Fortunately, the harbor was well prepared for the appearance of the Star during the sea trial, leaving enough space for the appearance of the Star, otherwise the waves caused by the Star sailing alone would have caused a disaster in the port.

"Oh my God, is this the new battleship of the Tower of Dusk? That's an exaggeration, isn't it? Many people couldn't help but exclaim loudly. Although everyone who came and went to the port knew that the Tower of Dusk was building warships, no one could have imagined that the Tower of Dusk would be built by such a steel monster.

"Can this big guy really sail on the sea?" There were also doubts about the Etoile's ability to sail. In this era, people still generally think that ships should be made of wood, and how can something as heavy as steel float on the sea. Although the appearance of the alchemy warship of the Jindu Kingdom has gradually made people know that ships made of steel can also sail on the sea, but when a warship of such a huge size as the Star still subverts people's identity, some people noticed the weapons on the Star, and they were immediately frightened and exclaimed: "Look, what is that, is it a naval gun?" One door and two doors...... If this is a salvo, I'm afraid that a fleet will be blown to pieces in an instant. ”

The magic crystal naval guns on the Star were all purchased from the Jindu Kingdom during this time, although the Jindu Kingdom made a lot of excuses for procrastination, but two magic crystal naval guns a month, and the accumulation of several months was enough to arm the Xingchen. In addition to the magic crystal cannon, the Star is also equipped with other weapons, such as the magic crystal cannon produced by the dwarves, and the huge speargun launcher like a bed crossbow.

As some have said, a single salvo of the weapons on the Star would be enough to destroy a coastal port city.

With such a powerful firepower, let alone the naval fleets of the two countries, even if it is the fleet of the Jindu Kingdom, I am afraid that they will not dare to confront the Star head-on.

And those can still be seen, and there are many attack methods on the Star that people can't see, such as magic patterns, alchemy circles, and so on. These attacks, like a sword in its scabbard, will become a nightmare for their enemies once unsheathed, and anyone who ignores their presence will pay a terrible price for them.

The huge Star slowly sailed away from the harbor and headed for the boundless sea, where it began its first sea trial. At the same time, in the port, spies from various forces also spread the news of the construction of the Star in the Tower of Dusk to their respective forces as quickly as possible.

Although in today's Light Wind Plains, there is hardly any force that dares to blatantly oppose the Tower of Dusk. However, the various forces are still very concerned about some of the actions of the Tower of Dusk, so as early as the news of the construction of warships came out of the Tower of Dusk, all forces immediately sent spies to the port of Otlan.

In fact, everyone is well aware of this fact, and the Tower of Dusk also knows that various forces will definitely have spies to find out the news. It's just that the Star will appear in people's sight after all, so the Tower of Dusk doesn't mind too much about other forces.

After leaving the harbor, the Star did not sail farther, but began to test the performance of the warship in the waters near the harbor. For example, the maximum speed of the battleship, such as the maneuverability of the battleship at sea, and of course, the main thing is the test of the firepower system of the battleship.

However, to test the fire system, it is impossible to be in the vicinity of the port of Otlan. Although Lin Li didn't mind letting other forces know what the firepower of the Star was, he didn't want to destroy the environment near Port Aotran for the sake of testing, to paraphrase a popular saying before the crossing, "Even if you can't hit the children, it's not good to hit the flowers and plants."

Less than 100 miles from the port of Aotran, there is an area of reefs, known locally as the Dead Sea in Aotran. It is said that during the Dark Ages, a fleet of High Elves was sunk in this area, and there are even legends of ghost ships. Of course, these things are not true, for ordinary people, there may be a little danger, it will be infinitely exaggerated, and even involved in some god and demon war.

In line with the principle of not wasting it, Lin Li set the place to test the firepower of the Star in this so-called dead sea. With the speed of the Stellar, it didn't take long for the Star to leave the port of Otlan and reach the edge of the Dead Sea. This dead sea is indeed a little different, the sea water elsewhere is blue, but here it is a little dark, and the plain is a little more gloomy.

However, not to mention this, not to mention Lin Li, a high-level Sacred Domain powerhouse, even those experienced sailors would not take it seriously. Under Lin Li's orders, the magic crystal cannon on the Star began to charge first, and the muzzle of the gun pointed at a bare island in the middle of the Dead Sea.

With an order, more than a dozen dazzling pillars of light instantly erupted from the muzzles of the magic crystal naval cannons. Under the light of the salvo of magic crystal naval guns, even the sailors on the Star couldn't help but close their eyes tightly, for fear that their eyes would be blinded by the light. And when they felt the light disappear, everyone carefully opened their eyes and looked in the direction of the target, but there was still the island just now on the sea, leaving only a huge whirlpool.

After the magic crystal naval cannon, Lin Li tested the other attack methods on the Star one by one in this sea area. By the time the fire test was over, there was still a little bit of the so-called dead sea area, as if it had been wiped out of the sea out of thin air.
