"I like this place." Li Yi was very satisfied. After going to the island, he rented a villa for thirty green spirit crystals for a month. He was planning to stay here until winter. After he recovered from his injuries, he could go out to sea to get what he wanted.
The transit island he came to had a good name: "Rhine Garden", half of the island is used to grow fruits and wheat. Even in non-agricultural areas, flowers and green quilts are everywhere. There are many natural fishing grounds around the island, and a large number of sardines, herrings, tunas, hairtails are caught and put on ashore, made into jerky or placed with sauerkraut to keep fresh.
Most of the islands are explorers, and some ordinary people make money by relying on the service industry. Green-level explorers can be seen everywhere. Although there are few gold-level explorers, they also account for a certain proportion.
Li Yi put the lynx's skin in a large tank, and it would probably take more than half a month to complete it. If he were wearing the lynx skin at that time, Gordon's musket would not have caused damage to him. This lynx cloak might bring him good luck, and it seemed to be able to resist some damage. Even the ordinary green peak spirit could not break through this layer of defense.
"Damn musket, I want to get one too." Li Yi decided to buy a weapon like this. The explorer himself was too fragile and needed some things to protect and attack.
I asked the locals and learned that there was a craftsman who made spiritual tools here, named Hector, who was also an explorer. He had a green-level fire spirit, who usually made some spiritual weapons and weapons.
Li Yi's three spirits do not need these. Feld's natural protection is super strong, and Alger thinks that the armor is too heavy and affects his movements. The three-dimensional shield is a special structure composed of weightless steel spiritual power. It is very convenient to cooperate with him to kill and rob. However, he uses the dagger condensed by pure blade spiritual power, so he does not need weapons. Isabella has the Achilles Insight Pupil, a magical tool that is both offensive and defense.
In a dock, Li Yi met the old spiritual utensil. He looked over 60 years old and was energetic. His exaggerated muscles supported his work clothes. He was looking at a purple-red metal sample with a magnifying glass.
Hector keenly noticed Li Yi's arrival. He turned around and carefully put the purple metal in his hand into the small satin box. Then he stood up, walked to the sofa next to him and sat down, and made a "please" posture with his right hand.
"I want to customize a musket, with a length of 80 cm and a diameter of about 10 cm. It needs to be made of lightweight materials." Li Yi sat opposite him, explaining his purpose.
He looked around and found that many bookshelf-like iron platforms were built in the space as big as a square, with hundreds of trapezoidal metal ingots placing them. These were not ordinary steel, lead, aluminum, etc., but precious green and blue metals, which had the hardness and strength that could withstand spiritual techniques.
In the operating room behind, a spirit covered with small holes, and a raging flame was burning a dark red metal block. It was five meters tall and thick, with two white metal-textured horns extending from behind the ear to protect their cheeks. A smoke gushed out from the holes on his body from time to time, and a whistle-like sound sounded.
"Must gun? Well, no problem, but we have to discuss some details," Hector took out his notebook and began to ask: "What level do I need? I can make green-level musket spirit tools at most..."
"Green level?" Li Yi couldn't help but interrupt him, "I want to customize a musket that I can use, to suit my habits, to be moderate in weight, and accessories such as light sights and ammunition are needed."
"What? Child, you just need to make toys for ordinary blacksmiths to complete. I have a tight time and a lot of orders." Hector was a little unhappy. He was a spiritual utensil master who made spiritual utensils. How could he do the same job as a mortal blacksmith? It was so rude to disturb him like this.
"Maybe you misunderstood, and you can't be despised at will at your young age," Li Yi smiled slightly. The calmness and confidence beyond his age made Hector a little surprised. He pulled open his clothes and exposed the gunshot wound. "Last night, I fought with an explorer with a gold-level primary and two green-level peak spirits. This is the wound he left to me, but he is dead. Don't be surprised, I'm from the Sky Courtyard."
"Sky Courtyard!" Hector took a deep breath, and there was respect in his eyes. "You are indeed different from others. I have also seen geniuses from major forces. No one of them is as alone as you, who lives under heavy protection, as if the continuation and future of these forces. The flowers in the greenhouse can only win in the ridiculous regular explorer arena. His real combat ability is not as good as those who are lower than them. Those old explorers who survive in the fight in the wild. You are a strong man, and I am willing to serve you."
"Thank you," Li Yi was very happy. He shook hands with the old spiritual utensil master in his sixties. "I am also very interested in the muskets of your spiritual utensils. Can you explain it in detail?"
Hector lit a thick brown cigar, took a deep breath, spit out a few smoke rings, and said, "The principle of the musket is very simple. The bullet explodes in a metal tube closed at one end, and the driving force generated makes the bullet fly out. The spiral rifle can ensure the rate of fire of the bullet and the ability to fly stably. The material of the musket is very exquisite. For example, ordinary blue-class muskets must be filled with solid blue-class metal, with powder grinding from the fire-type blue-spirit crystal, and the bullet is also made of blue-class metal, so as to ensure the stability of the musket performance."
"In this way, the green-level strength metal musket will be shattered when the gold-level flame spirit crystal ammunition is exploded. The musket must use gold-level metal, and the bullet and fire-type spirit crystal powder must also use gold-level metal. Then, you can only make green-level muskets, why can't you make gold-level muskets?" After thinking for a while, Li Yi asked.
"My fire spirit is only the peak of green level, and his flame cannot melt gold level metal."
"What a pity, then I'll just hire an explorer with a gold-level fire spirit, that's fine?" Li Yi asked.
"Actually, the musket is really useless. The recoil of the gold-level musket can only bear the gold-level spirit, and the same is true for other levels, but the power of the ammunition is only equivalent to the attack of ordinary gold-level primary spirits, and it is a simple shelling attack. No explorer will choose this spiritual tool for the spirit. If you can hire a gold-level explorer, you can do it." Hector was a little embarrassed.
"Haha, I'm just interested in this. Anyway, my purpose is to make an ordinary musket for myself. Even if this gold-level musket is a coincidence, it's due to interest. You know, the creatures from the compound are not short of spiritual crystals." Li Yi explained. Of course, he would not reveal his strength and tell the other party that Feld could withstand the attack of gold-level spirits, although he was only the peak of the blue-level. That was too ostentatious and easy to be targeted by those with ulterior motives.
"Oh, indeed." Hectoronnu said and agreed.
After completing this, Li Yi left the workshop transformed by the dock. It is easy to hire an explorer with a gold-level fire spirit, just post tasks in the union or club.
"When sailing on the sea, transportation is essential, but you can't use a yacht. It's too big and slow. Listen to these two essential tools for sea explorers, floating boats and submarines. Submarines are tools that can dive, while floating boats are props that can levitate on the water surface and move forward at high speed. If both of them are gold-level, it will cost a lot of money. With Hector's work and material costs, my goodness, I'm almost going bankrupt!" Li Yi began to feel embarrassed again. He also had to pay for the spiritual crystals used by Feld and others to practice. It seems that he has to find a way to get some money.
Staying in his villa, Li Yi faced a cup of good coffee. He was handed with a book called "Ocean Classics" and a morning newspaper. This book is one centimeter thick and explains everything on the sea, including dangers and opportunities. The morning newspaper reported on the island news, weather, strange stories, battles between sea explorers, etc.
"Hmm? The autumn spawning period of red-grade fish?" Li Yi suddenly saw a brief message about a golden-grade primary spirit called "red-grade fish" in the deep sea. They are at the bottom of the food chain in the golden-grade marine creatures. However, because thousands of living together, even if gold-grade explorers offend them, they will have no bones. Every late autumn or late spring, they will lay eggs in the cave. Humans accidentally discovered that their roe contains a lot of purity.
The pure spiritual power also carries the breath of life and the strange power of the ocean, which has a particularly huge effect on the golden-level water spirit. Many explorers with hidden spirits will let their spirits sneak to steal fish roe. Each adventure is only about a few dozen grams, and they must prevent these spirits from stealing themselves. The eggs will hatch in just half an hour after they are laid, which increases the difficulty of stealing. Therefore, one gram of the red-child fish eggs on the market can be sold between 100 and 150 golden spirit crystals.
"It's really a sky-high price. If Alger asked him to get some... he probably stole all the things he got. By the way, I have that magical ring!" Li Yi suddenly remembered that he had obtained the Achilles Insight Eyes and a ring containing the gods to open up space in the Knatter Miracle. The large size of this warehouse helped him a lot, at least he didn't need to exchange a large amount of spiritual crystals for money for easy carrying. In his opinion, nothing is more realistic than the spiritual crystal itself.
Li Yi imagined that if Alger brought this ring, then sneaked into the nest of Chizhiyu, swept the roe empty... It would probably be two or three kilograms, sold part of it, and the rest would be given to Alger, Feld and Isabella. If all such high-end and expensive things were put on the market all at once, they would probably make hundreds of thousands of golden spirit crystals. However, Li Yi did not dare to do this. With such a large amount of money, those confidential terms would be like paper. It is estimated that the Alliance of Sea Explorers will be the first to attack him.
With this plan, Li Yi was in a good mood, and the rest was to find the nest of Chizhiyu and Alger's personal performance.
A few days later, he successfully got two muskets. The first one was for himself, cast with blue-grade metal, which was very light and weighed only two kilograms. The light scope and one thousand white-grade ammunition were wrapped in buttered paper. The other one was a gold-grade musket, which was used by Feld, and three thousand gold-grade ammunition. The heads of these bullets were all carved to cause terrible secondary damage after being shot into the enemy's body.
"Great. If the technology is possible, I will definitely add poison to the bullet." Li Yi picked it up and tried it. It was very easy. These things cost two thousand gold spirit crystals, and the floating boats and submarines were all gold-class configurations. Three thousand gold spirit crystals were spent, and a total of five thousand spirit crystals were spent like running water.
After customizing ten thousand metal ammunitions for practice in a factory opened by ordinary people, Li Yi and Feld practice shooting in the villa every day. The musket can pop out the shell, but cannot shoot continuously, and can only load them one by one. Even if there are such defects, it is a huge progress in the era of cold weapons.
In the vast deep sea, countless magical and treasures are hidden, and dangers are lurking. Those hunters living in the deep sea will always be more adapted to the deep sea environment than explorers. According to the red or even purple spirits in the seabed below 1,000 meters or in the sea trench, there are monsters that can withstand strong water pressure, and in their home court, no spirit on land can be enemies.
The sea is always the world of water spirits, just like the ethereal spirit is particularly powerful in the sky. As long as the rock spirit step on the ground, it will continue to recover its spiritual power, and as long as the fire spirit jumps into the magma, the wounds heal quickly.
When choosing contract spirits, overseas explorers will give priority to water spirits. Many of them are the limits of three or two waters. On the contrary, rock spirits and fire spirits are difficult to see.
Because stealing red-child fish eggs is unpopular and dangerous, if you are accidentally discovered, you will lose a spirit and lose one third of your strength. There are very few spirits with hidden powers, and even fewer people dare to take risks. This is also one of the reasons why the fish roe is particularly expensive.
Li Yi spent very little spiritual crystals to buy information about the location of the Chizhi Fish nest. At the bottom of a deserted island about 600 nautical miles away from Rhine Garden Island, these golden-level water spirits hollowed out the bottom of the deserted island made up of black reefs, and lived in groups there. They were densely attached to the rock walls. Each one was about one meter in size, red all over, with a sharp tail fin and dorsal fin extremely sharp. They swam highly in the water and could easily cut the rocks at the bottom of the sea. This is their attack weapon. In addition, these fish can also bite and spit out sharp spikes. It is easy to solve when they meet one alone, but thousands of mountains gather together, and the spirits at the peak of the Golden-level will have to drink hatred.
"I will give you a ring and you will work hard. After the matter is completed, I will be seven and three." Li Yi and Aljie discussed.
"It is very dangerous, but the rewards obtained are also extremely rich. 30% of the red cabbage roe are worth tens of thousands of golden spirit crystals. This money is very important to me, so I have to try it!" Aljie did not withstand the temptation of huge amounts of money and agreed to Li Yi's plan.
Li Yi was very relieved to leave this matter to Alger. Even if he failed and was discovered, he had enough ways to deal with it.
Li Yi boarded a floating boat. This was a streamlined machine with a silver-white shell, made of gold-class spirit crystal, like a smooth leaf. The cab was covered with high-strength glass to prevent the driver from blowing the driver down into the sea at a very fast speed. Of course, a seat belt is essential.
