Outside Nassau Harbor, a slender cruiser with black and white stripes slowly sailed.

She was patrolling the sea outside, and from time to time she would shoot and intimidate the merchant ships leaving the port. Seeing the shells falling up and down the ships like eyes, the merchant ships were so scared that they immediately turned around and ran back to the port of Nassau.

It seems that as long as these ships return, the cruiser outside will not chase.

In this way, there was no large-scale panic in the Port of Nassau. A tax official secretly hid, and no one noticed him.

Two hours later, the local resident of Nassau Port drove the Jackdaw (see Chapter 87 for details) and two other warships, rushed out fiercely and headed straight for the location of the "Erona".

Sure enough, the "Erona" did not make any shelling moves this time, allowing the three ships to approach smoothly.

Before he could get on the side, the captain Edward Kenway, wearing a hood and wearing an assassin's equipment, grabbed the cable and hung it outside the ship, looking at it.

"It's really you!" Edward Kenway saw Lu Yuan standing by the boat with a smile at first sight, which made him so angry that he was almost crazy. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fake Squid! Fake Squid! Fake Squid! What do you want to do?!"

"Look for you..." Lu Yuan replied lightly.

Edward Kenwei was silent for a few seconds, then roared in anger, "Then you dare to block the Hong Kong port! Can't you enter Hong Kong like a normal person?!"

"I want to go in, but I'm rejected..." Lu Yuan spread his hands. The two men were still more than ten meters away. Their respective mates controlled the wheel rudders, allowing the two boats to travel side by side, so that the two captains could chat across the sea... If anyone pushed the cannon out at this time, it would be an extremely fierce battle immediately! Lu Yuan had checked the attributes of the "Jackdaw" and had been strengthened to almost the same as the "Erona".

However, the "Jackdaw" has its own system, which cannot be compared and cannot be learned.

Edward Kenway was speechless... He then remembered that he had indeed given orders. Those who hang the "Simon Flag" were not allowed to approach Nassau Port... He pressed the blood vessels on his forehead and could only change the topic. "Tell me, what's the matter with me?"

"Look at this..." Lu Yuan raised his hand, and a thin piece of white paper rotated, and it flew over the sea about ten meters against the sea breeze. He flew steadily towards Edward Kenwei, letting him copy it in his hand. Edward Kenwei was obviously stunned by this move and looked at Lu Yuan blankly.

"Look at it, does it work! I'm very anxious..." Lu Yuan reminded him. This was something he had come out after rummaging through the bottom of the box, and he actually got it when he killed his first enemy, Napoli.

Edward Kenway then turned his gaze to the paper in his hand.

--------

Napoli’s wanted order:

Napoli is a Samsung ship captain of a British East India Company, engaged in Far East trade.

Hold this wanted order. You can receive a reward of 500 pounds from any Spanish city's affairs officer! Or hand it over to the Assassin Brotherhood, you can get a special ship upgrade from the mysterious "Jackdaw".

--------

After he finished watching, Lu Yuan shouted across the boat, "Hey, the mysterious Captain of the Jackdaw, can this thing still be used?"

"Can...use!" Edward Kenway replied gritting his teeth, "Come here and choose. If you see anything good... just take whatever you want!" He said angrily. This wanted warrant involves the Assassin Brotherhood. He has joined the organization now and cannot refuse it directly. But the real good things are all in the residence of Nassau Port, and there is nothing here.

Lu Yuan pulled the cable without hesitation and swung over. As soon as he landed, he slapped the "Book of the Sea Monster" and cast a "detection magic item"! In Lu Yuan's arcane vision, magic items showed different inspiration according to their strength and weakness...

"Hahaha! That's it! That's it!" Lu Yuan rushed to the wheel rudder of the "Crown" in an instant! He held it and refused to let go!

On the surface, this old wheel rudder looks not amazing, except for the beautiful patterns on it. It seems to be made of ordinary walnut. But since the advent of the wheel rudder, not to mention precious woods such as black wood, mahogany, and red sandalwood, there are even gold and jade, and countless gems are inlaid. Walnut? That's something that poor people use! But even the poor captain is willing to spend a few small money on the wheel rudder he holds in his hands all day long... What a shabby way! However, the wheel rudder of this walnut is inlaid with a fist-sized emerald, which looks quite extraordinary.

But in Lu Yuan's eyes, the strong inspiration of this wheel rudder would make him red-eye sick! You must get it!

"Hey! That's my trophy!" Edward Kenwei shouted in a panic, "What do you mean?! You can't just want to take the opportunity to start a war! What do I use if you took the wheel rudder away?"

"Ha!" Lu Yuan made a mocking voice, but without stopping his hand, he removed several pins on the wheel rudder. Ahha! There are actually 120 scales?! It is simply a very amazing processing accuracy! He accelerated his movements in his hand, and continued to spank against Edward Kenway in his mouth, "Poor baby, you won't be able to drive the boat without the wheel rudder... Do you want dady to teach you!?"

Edward Kenwei was so angry that he gestured for a few times, but couldn't speak, so he could only hold the wanted order tightly and stare at Lu Yuan and get angry.

Lu Yuan suddenly stopped and said thoughtfully, "I heard you have a great mortar?"

"I'm Farke!" Edward Kenway jumped up immediately, "Who told you to choose this one? Get out of here with the wheel rudder! It's absolutely impossible for me to give you the mortar. I'll kill this!"

"The gears are mine!" Lu Yuan laughed and not only removed the wheel rudder, but also removed the several gears connected below. These are all sets. Not to mention that the wheel rudder shows "unidentified" and the attributes are not visible. It is worth Lu Yuan's use of 120 scales. He is using only 24 scales now, which is good. But on the way out of the shipwreck island, he could not control the warships in detail. Most of the time he had to rely on luck, and he almost finished several times!

He used to install double-layer wheel rudders in the "Simon". The one that can double the fineness of the control, and only has forty-eight scales! The one he holds in his hand now, without mentioning the magic attributes, the photometric scale is only 120, which is far beyond the processing level of this era!

That rough product of Edward Kenway must be very disgusted with the inconvenience of using this thing... Konimma is definitely a special thing for masters of navigation!

Carrying the wheel rudder, Lu Yuan returned to the "Erona" with satisfaction, and went straight to Yang Fan to sail northeast.

Edward Kenway, who felt embarrassed, returned directly without mentioning it...

Just talking about this wheel rudder, Lu Yuan took a photo with a "identification technique"! The material of walnut changed and began to show an ivory color. The large emerald inlaid in the center of the wheel rudder became colorful.

Legendary wheel rudder: "Rock"

This wheel rudder once belonged to Connor Kenway's "Sky Eagle" and Edward Kenway's "Jackdaw". However, no one could discover the magical attributes of this wheel rudder...

However, the wheel rudder is carefully manufactured by top shipbuilders, with 120 maneuvering scales, allowing extremely fine control of the ship.

(The vessel handling flexibility increases by 20%.)

Magic attribute: "Deflection barrier". Before the magic power is exhausted, the protective barrier of the wheel rudder will deflect any attacks against the wheel rudder and the helmsman.

(Current magic storage: 22/1000)

Your sister! Lu Yuan couldn't help but curse, this thing is bulletproof! It's so unscientific! But I like it...

The helmsman always stands on the highest stern tower without any restraint. The target is even more distinct than the fireflies in the night! Moreover, during naval battles, it is particularly easy to get injured by accident - a shell flew over, and the people on the deck are unharmed, and the helmsman is penetrated by the wooden pieces that jumped up... There are not too many such tragedies.

*******

Lu Yuan looked at the middle-aged man standing in front of him, Hanfley Douglas.

The former British musket officer was swept out by the army because he offended his boss. He looked at him still wearing the old musket officer's uniform. He was obviously unable to buy other dresses, and it was said that he even sold his musket and owed a lot of debt in the Port of Spain.

You know, when John Workman went to recruit him, he brought a total of 6,000 pesos of cash - that was a huge bag of money. But except for mailing some of the money to his family, the remaining money was only enough to pay the interest on his debt... Otherwise, he had already restricted his personal freedom by the creditors and could not leave the Port of Spain at all.

Lu Yuan was very curious about why he owed so much money. As for Lu Yuan's five-pound IOU, you won't really take it seriously, right? That's just a joke...

"Welcome! Mr. Douglas!" Lu Yuan asked him and John to sit down. He had heard John report details about Hanfley Douglas before, so he said directly. "I hope you will be John's assistant and help him manage the gunners and the musket team. The specific division of labor will follow John's arrangements. What do you think?"

Lu Yuan did not intend to separate these two. Hanfley Douglas and John Walkman were both affiliated with officers of the British Navy. The soldiers trained under the same system may be stronger in muskets, but the chances of using artillery on the ship are still artillery, of course, John should be the main one.

Generally, during battles, Lu Yuan will definitely drive the ship himself, which is their strongest advantage. In this way, he needs his first mate John Workman to be on standby around the stern at any time so that he can directly receive his orders. Then the next artillery deck needs to be arranged with a unified command adjutant, Lu Yuan feels that Hanfley Douglas is just right.

Many times, you only need to be a good soundtrack to be competent, and the possibility of independent command is very small.

But what was beyond his surprise was that after hearing his arrangement, Hanfley showed a very embarrassed expression. He finally said, "I really hope to serve under your command, but you know, I owe a lot of money... I hope to be a reputable person, repay these debts, and send some money home... God knows, I haven't sent anything back for half a year, and I don't even dare to think about how they are..." He paused for a moment, looked at Lu Yuan's face, and finally said, "So I have to ask you for a monthly salary of 600 pesos... Please believe me! Captain, I swear I will be at the forefront every battle! I can contribute everything to win!"

He looked at Lu Yuan sincerely, just as he almost swore according to the Bible.

Hearing his words, John Walkerman, who was sitting on Lu Yuan's left hand, covered his face and lowered his head in shame. Li Huamei, who was sitting on Lu Yuan's right, covered her mouth and chuckled slightly.

Looking at their appearance, Hanfley Douglas's face flushed with shame, but he still insisted on waiting for Lu Yuan's answer.

Lu Yuan looked around helplessly and tried to persuade him, "Can I call you Hanfury? Hanfury, you are both a musketeer and my commander, I will never allow you to rush in the front. And you don't need to worry about debt. What I need to let you know is that on my ship, the treatment of the adjutant is still good..." Lu Yuan explained.

"I insist, captain. Only this is the only thing I have to insist..." Hanfury smiled bitterly, and still gritted his teeth and insisted. Compared to the salary of ordinary sailors of 30 to 50 pesos per month, the employment price of 600 pesos is definitely the maximum salary, but he really has no other way...

"Okay, I agree!" Seeing that Hanfley Douglas was as stubborn as a stone, Lu Yuan could only shake his head helplessly, take out a contract and a purse, write a 600-plus number on the amount, and hand it to him, "Take the contract back and take a closer look. In addition, there are 5,000 pesos here, which is your prepaid salary. Go and settle your wife and children well, and it is best to receive it from the Caribbean. Next, I will see the effectiveness of the training of the Musketeers! Otherwise, I can't guarantee... you can still get a salary of 600 pesos."

"As for the order Captain! I will not let you down!" Hanfley saluted a military salute and walked out backwards.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!" After he left, Lu Yuan and John Walkman had been holding back for a long time and laughed, even Li Huamei couldn't help laughing.

"Now you should understand how high your salary is, right?" Lu Yuan shouted with his eyes.

"Yes, I'm so touched." John said with a smile, pretending to wipe his tears.

"So you guys are all loyal to me! Otherwise, you will all get a 'high salary' of 600 pesos!"
